Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 406 - 391: Calamity Beast

Myriad God-devouring Butterflies.

Li Cunxu plans to strategize against the disaster beast, hoping it can solve the madness caused by "the sea accepting all rivers" taint.

The Myriad God-devouring Butterflies are incredibly terrifying, having wiped out seventeen ancient nations, with over a billion people perishing without a survivor.

It took eight Emperor Beastmasters to contain them.

If the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies were given more time and spread further, all living beings in the world might perish at their hands.

The Myriad God-devouring Butterflies feed on Spiritual Power, and after feasting, they reproduce numerous butterfly eggs, laying at least a thousand eggs at a time, and at most, tens of millions of eggs. Once, an emperor-grade Myriad God-devouring Butterfly laid such a vast number of eggs.

These butterfly eggs, needing just a bit of Spiritual Power from the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies in return, can hatch in less than an hour and reveal their terrifying danger as disaster beasts.

If a Silver Beastmaster is asleep, they can silently consume the spiritual body of the Silver Beastmaster without them noticing.

When consuming the spiritual body, the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies secrete a unique spiritual toxin in their mouths, numbing any pain from harm to the victim’s spiritual body.

After consuming Spiritual Power, the larvae can swiftly level up.

Place an iron-tier larva in a city full of people overnight, and by morning it will have laid thousands of butterfly eggs and its level might break through to Gold or even Lord.

The reason behind the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies’ shocking nature is due to their legendary talent, "God-devouring Illusory Body."

Legendary talents don’t come for free?

Indeed, they don’t cost anything; they are standard among disaster beasts.

In the previous life, Li Cunxu had never seen a disaster beast without a legendary talent, only those with epic talents.

There is a reason disaster beasts are so fearsome: they are bred from the world’s accumulated apocalyptic disaster energy, making them truly capable of world annihilation.

Are there people plotting against such powerful disaster beasts?

Certainly.

The Beastmasters’ favorite activity is contracting powerful pet beasts.

The disaster beasts’ terrifying strength drew the pursuit of countless Beastmasters who love powerful pet beasts, but they all failed throughout the ages, even emperors couldn’t succeed.

Even using some special means to forcibly contract, Beastmasters would soon face the disaster beasts’ backlash and ultimately perish, with emperors either killed or severely wounded. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

That emperors cannot conquer disaster beasts seems normal to Li Cunxu.

The disaster beasts possess world-destroying power; mastering them would be equivalent to mastering such power of annihilation, and how could the world will tolerate this?

The world will tolerate disaster beasts because:

First: Disaster beasts are hard to kill; killing them only transfers the apocalyptic disaster energy elsewhere, birthing more disaster beasts, unaffected by their amount.

Second: Disaster beasts have low or zero intelligence; without brains or with very low intelligence.

Their terrifying strength aside, if they were also intelligent, the world would have perished a thousand times already with so many of them.

Third: The world will can manipulate disaster beasts to a certain extent, sometimes even using them as world janitors to clear diseases of the world.

For instance, the dragons and giants that once parasitized the world.

Why can’t the world will endure Beastmasters mastering disaster beasts?

Because it would make the world will feel a deep threat.

Disaster beasts are world-destroying weapons, but they don’t know how to destroy the world; like nukes that won’t launch without a button press.

But it’s different if a Beastmaster controls a disaster beast; he knows how to press and launch the nukes.

Mastering a disaster beast is beyond emperors, and something the world will needs to stop; what right does Li Cunxu have to accomplish this?

Li Cunxu has a clever trick.

If disaster beasts can’t be dominated, then making the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies not be disaster beasts will do.

Among the forty-nine Emperor’s Artifacts, one is named "Merit Golden Lotus."

The Merit Golden Lotus can collect and store merit, a universal solution with countless uses, enhancing pet beast levels, elevating weapons, improving armor, reviving the dead, and so on.

To what extent is it universal?

It can even create another Emperor’s Artifact, provided the Merit Golden Lotus is full of stored merit.

Another prerequisite: the forty-nine Emperor’s Artifacts are a fixed number, so when using merit from the Merit Golden Lotus to create a new artifact, one must be completely destroyed among the forty-nine to create space for a new one.

Otherwise, any newly created artifact will either be destroyed by a heavenly tribulation, or replace the Merit Golden Lotus, which will be accidentally destroyed.

The Merit Golden Lotus was once ruined in such a manner.

Why does Li Cunxu remember the Merit Golden Lotus?

Because it had once wiped away the apocalyptic disaster energy from a disaster beast.

This disaster beast was washed into a normal pet beast.

Even washed, its core as a disaster beast made it extraordinary compared to other beasts.

This disaster beast, before being cleansed by the Merit Golden Lotus, was called the Primordial Tri-devil Dragon, a disaster beast of the dragon era, tearing apart dragon gods with just one hand at its height of power.

The Primordial Tri-devil Dragon had immortality, like Li Shiji, unable to be killed, resurrecting when slain.

Suppress it?

The Primordial Tri-devil Dragon could split into three avatars, with just one hiding, the other two could escape any suppression.

Killing it turned out futile; suppression wouldn’t hold it; later, the dragon gods were forced to discover how to cleanse its apocalyptic disaster energy.

Purging the energy was not easy; it took the dragon gods thrice filling the Merit Golden Lotus with merit to cleanse its apocalyptic disaster energy.

Freed of its apocalyptic disaster energy, the Primordial Tri-devil Dragon became the Primordial Tri-holy Dragon.

Without the disaster energy, even washed white, the Primordial Tri-holy Dragon remained fearsome, rising to divine status, becoming a god.

Later, it became the pillar for the dragon race, upholding the last gleam of the dragon era’s twilight.

"Alas! The last owner of the Merit Golden Lotus was a true wastrel; couldn’t he just destroy another artifact, free up space, and craft a new artifact using the Merit Golden Lotus instead of creating new artifacts when no space was available, thus destroying the Merit Golden Lotus."

"I can’t find where to get a Merit Golden Lotus at all when I want to use it."

"Fortunately, I know where to get a fragment of a Merit Golden Lotus."

"But will just a fragment of a Merit Golden Lotus be able to cleanse the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies of their apocalyptic disaster energy?"

Li Cunxu is somewhat uncertain, as it has never been tried before.

"Alas! What a wastrel."

Li Cunxu couldn’t help but curse again.

That guy destroyed the Merit Golden Lotus so thoroughly, unlike the similarly ruined Emperor’s Artifact: Seven-seed Gourd.

The Seven-seed Gourd shards, if gathered, might remake the Emperor’s Artifact: Seven-seed Gourd.

Whereas the Merit Golden Lotus is beyond repair; its fragments were too completely destroyed, becoming one-time consumables, used once, gone forever.
