Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 496 - 481: Spatial Domain

After confirming Blood Frenzy was dead, Li Cunxu immediately summoned the Little Demon Whale.

The name Little Demon Whale was somewhat no longer appropriate.

The Little Demon Whale was twenty-five meters long and weighed one hundred and five tons, a veritable behemoth.

Before entering the Fog Sea, Li Cunxu went to Demon Island and captured several demons, allowing it to refine them.

The refining process made a tremendous difference, dramatically increasing the Little Demon Whale’s size, weight, and realm.

Now, the Little Demon Whale was at Gold Nine, only needing to comprehend the domain to break through to the Lord level.

It had advanced to Gold Nine so swiftly that its foundation was not only unshaken but remarkably solid.

Thanks to devouring demons to ascend to an emperor, and absorbing the traits of various demons, the Little Demon Whale was now terrifyingly powerful; ordinary demons at Lord Nine level were no match for it. Of course, such strength came at the cost of lifespan.

When the Little Demon Whale appeared and saw the battlefield covered with souls, it instinctively knew what to do without Li Cunxu’s instruction.

Opening its large mouth, it swallowed all the souls.

The many souls devoured included Blood Frenzy’s soul, the Vampire Great Demon at Venerable King Nine level.

Blood Frenzy seemed indifferent to being swallowed.

What does it matter if our souls are swallowed? It doesn’t affect us. Our souls belong to the supreme Blood God, and our souls will ultimately return to the Blood God’s Divine Kingdom.

A day later, within the Eighteen Layers of Soul Hell, Blood Frenzy panicked and lost composure, cursing wildly.

He was supposed to be guided back to the Divine Kingdom but hadn’t returned there.

Blood Frenzy had a premonition that he would never return to the Divine Kingdom and would remain here forever.

Blood Frenzy was distraught and frenzied, trying every possible way to escape the Eighteen Layers of Soul Hell, all to no avail. The moment he entered, Blood Frenzy’s soul became bound to the Eighteen Layers of Soul Hell.

Even if the Eighteen Layers of Soul Hell were destroyed, Blood Frenzy’s soul would not escape; it would perish with the Soul Hell.

It wasn’t just Blood Frenzy who was mad; the Vampire Demons killed by the star explosions in the city also went mad.

If there’s anything in the world that torments the Vampire Demons, the Evil God’s Creatures, the most, it’s unquestionably not being able to return to the Divine Kingdom.

Gazing at the Little Demon Whale inhaling the intangible souls, Li Cunxu pondered. He found that the souls of all Evil God Followers were deemed souls of the guilty by the Eighteen Layers of Soul Hell, all being imprisoned subjects, with no exceptions seen thus far.

At the same time, a hint of worry flashed in Li Cunxu’s eyes.

Soul Hell prevents the souls of the Vampire Demons from returning to the Divine Kingdom, essentially stealing souls from the Evil God. Small-scale soul imprisonments might go unnoticed.

But what about large-scale imprisonments? The Evil God would certainly notice and might become enraged, casting divine punishment upon him.

After all, the souls of the followers are an important foundation of the Divine Kingdom.

But without imprisoning the souls of the Evil God Followers, how can Soul Hell grow?

"Forget it; stability is most important. Imprisoning other evil souls can also expand Soul Hell. For now, halt the imprisonment of the Evil God Followers’ souls. Once I’ve grown and have the power to resist the Evil God’s avatar, then I shall proceed with this plan."

Just as Li Cunxu resolved to no longer let Soul Hell imprison the souls of Evil God Followers,

A strange power swept over Li Cunxu, causing him to forget the decision he’d just made, and thereafter he didn’t recognize that imprisoning the souls of Evil God Followers in Soul Hell was contesting for souls against the Evil God’s Divine Kingdom.

Seeing two-thirds of the city destroyed, Li Cunxu, adhering to the thought of doing good till the end, used a few more star explosions to turn the rest of the city and the remaining Vampire Demons to ash.

Absorbing a city’s worth of Vampire Demon souls allowed Soul Hell to expand several times further.

With the expansion of Soul Hell, spatial affinity increased concomitantly.

The ultra-high spatial affinity enabled the Little Demon Whale to catch a glimpse into the understanding of the space domain and enter the state of breaking through to Lord level.

It wasn’t long before Xiaoruan and the others arrived, following the sense, to look for Li Cunxu, who hadn’t returned to the castle.

Li Cunxu requested from the Crystal Dragon, "Give me some Type II Purification Crystals."

Li Cunxu’s All-Embracing Talent activated, allowing him to absorb the residual Spiritual Power from the deceased Vampire Great Demon Blood Frenzy and the entire city’s worth of Vampire Demons into his spirit sea.

Their Spiritual Power was tainted by the Evil God, needing purification before absorption.

Thud~

The Blood Lotus Flame Dragon also brought along a clam suspected to be the Hundred-swallowing Clam.

Upon checking with the panel, Li Cunxu found it was indeed the Hundred-swallowing Clam.

The Hundred-swallowing Clam, startled, clammed up tightly; Li Cunxu tried to pry it open but failed as it was shut too tightly.

This Hundred-swallowing Clam’s realm was at Venerable King Nine, not something that could be easily pried open.

Despite joining forces with his pet beasts, Li Cunxu still couldn’t pry it open, internally locked like a door lock, so he simply gave up on prying.

To attack and break the Hundred-swallowing Clam?

Both the Hundred-swallowing Clam and Fog-swallowing Clam had absurdly strong defenses, making the destruction of the shell require very potent attacks. At such an attack intensity, Li Cunxu, if not careful, could destroy the Hundred-Devouring Pearl within the Hundred-swallowing Clam.

The Hundred-Devouring Pearl didn’t share the extreme defensive capabilities of the Hundred-swallowing Clam and was relatively fragile, like glass.

Moreover, as far as Li Cunxu knew, there seemed to be only one mutated Hundred-swallowing Clam.

Thus, there was only this one Hundred-swallowing Clam; once destroyed, it would be gone.

The wait for the next one would mean waiting millions of years for a mutation to occur among the Fog-swallowing Clam population, and even then, the mutated Fog-swallowing Clam might not become a Hundred-swallowing Clam.

Additionally, the Hundred-swallowing Clam could produce Hundred-Devouring Pearls, making its destruction all the more regrettable.

"What should we do with this big clam?" asked the Little White Spider.

Li Cunxu replied, "No worries, just wait a bit, and the Hundred-swallowing Clam will get hungry and open its shell on its own."

The Hundred-swallowing Clam had a massive appetite and needed constant feeding; otherwise, it would become ravenously hungry, akin to a starved ghost.

Its diet was varied, consuming anything from fog to meat to rocks.

While waiting for the Hundred-swallowing Clam to open its shell, the Little Demon Whale successfully grasped the space domain and broke through to Lord level.

Within the space domain, spatial skills were enhanced, and moreover, the Little Demon Whale could instantaneously move at will inside the domain.

"I should get some space-related skill seeds for the Little Demon Whale, and Curse Crow also needs some time-related skill seeds," Li Cunxu mused.

Both spatial and temporal skills were extremely rare, with average people finding them almost impossible to trade for, except by paying exorbitant amounts at auctions to snap up even inferior ones.

Good skill seeds were directly sold to wealthy noble families or Hidden Clans.

Even if not sold to noble families and Hidden Clans, the skill seeds would ultimately end up with the Hidden Clans.

However, luckily for Li Cunxu, he had the identity of a Crystal Merchant, allowing him to trade within the alliance for anything he desired.

The alliance was nearly obliging to Crystal Merchants in every respect, and whatever Crystal Merchants wanted, even if not possessed by the alliance, they would send a Monarch Powerhouse to acquire it.
