Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 541 - 485: Hundred Emperors

After exposing the mole, Chu Chen’s days became more leisurely.

According to their previous plan, Old Bai and Shi Feng taught the first twelve forms of the Phantom Body Technique to everyone in the Bai Shi Gang.

In the days that followed, what awaited the Soul Locking Gang was naturally painful torment.

Having nothing to do, Chu Chen inevitably began to overthink. He worried about the situation with Lei Yao and the other beasts, and also about what Sun Wenshan’s methods might be.

Chu Chen made contact with Wang Chengyu and Zhao Wudi.

The other party first asked about Chu Chen’s recent status, and after learning that he was doing well, they felt much relieved.

When Chu Chen asked about Sun Wenshan’s situation, the other party’s tone was full of worry.

After hearing their account, he finally understood the situation regarding Sun Wenshan.

Upon receiving Chu Chen’s reminder, Zhao Wudi also began to speculate on the other’s motives, while immediately starting an investigation.

This investigation turned up something crucial: Sun Wenshan had vanished without a trace on the second day after Chu Chen entered the Soul Suppressing Abyss. Despite utilizing all forces, Zhao Wudi still failed to find any trace or clue.

Upon learning this result, Chu Chen’s heart grew increasingly uneasy, but there was nothing he could do about it now; he could only waste time here.

As time passed, Chu Chen felt more and more anxious inside.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had passed.

On the training ground of the Soul Suppressing Abyss, a young man stood in the center, looking up at the sky, his eyes full of worry.

"Sir, do you have any concerns? In just two months, your sentence will be completed; you should be happy about that," the speaker was Old Bai.

Chu Chen shook his head at this and said, "I’m fine, just a bit anxious in my heart."

As the time to leave the Soul Suppressing Abyss drew near, his anxiety grew heavier, even beginning to affect his rest, making him look unusually fatigued.

Far to the northfront in a valley, over a hundred Emperor-level and King-level strong practitioners gathered here, even an Emperor-level was present.

"Grandfather, do you think it can break through smoothly?" A heroic beauty asked the elderly man beside her.

The old man stroked his grizzled beard and said, "I can’t say for sure. The higher the Realm of a Guardian Beast, the more difficult it is to break through each major Realm. But you don’t have to worry too much; both Lei Yao and Nirvana have reached the Upper Grade legendary level. Even if they can’t break through this time, I believe it won’t be long before they do."

This grandfather and granddaughter were Zhang Tianlong and Zhang Yuyan, and beside them were Father Chu, Mrs. Chu, and others.

At this moment, all their eyes were on the two giant beasts in the valley.

As time passed, the aura within the two beasts grew stronger, and the surrounding elements began to become agitated.

Zhang Tianlong’s face gradually turned serious at the sight; he possessed an Emperor-level Guardian Beast, and when it broke through in the past, it caused quite a commotion.

"Stay on guard, they’re about to break through; no disturbance is permitted." Zhang Tianlong commanded sternly.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this and immediately summoned their Guardian Beasts to encircle the entire valley.

Meanwhile, at the Star Beast headquarters, a black dragon hovered in mid-air, its eyes slightly closed, its whiskers flying, silently sensing the fluctuations of the heaven and earth elements.

Shortly, the black dragon suddenly opened its eyes wide with astonishment and looked towards the direction of the valley, lifting its head to let out an angry dragon roar.

As the roar faded, over a hundred Emperor-level Star Beasts began to howl in response.

Seeing this, the black dragon’s eyes flashed with a hint of human-like satisfaction.

"Those two damned Guardian Beasts are breaking through; we must stop them, or the consequences will be dire." With that said, the black dragon flew toward the valley.

Over a hundred Emperor-level Star Beasts followed the black dragon toward the valley.

A quarter of an hour later, the black dragon was the first to arrive in the air above the valley.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianlong’s face instantly turned cold as he stared fixedly at the black dragon, his gaze showing a hint of wariness.

"Everyone, prepare for battle; even in death, we mustn’t let them be affected." With that, he raised his hand to summon a cyan-gray giant dragon.

The cyan-gray giant dragon looked at the black dragon in the sky and lifted its head to let out an angry dragon roar.

This cyan-gray giant dragon was known as the Gale Battle Dragon, the ultimate evolution form of the Gale Battle Python.

Zhang Tianlong stepped directly atop the dragon’s head upon seeing this and gently petted its dragon horns, saying in a deep voice, "Old friend, let’s go up and meet it."

"Roar!"

The dragon roar sounded, and the Gale Battle Dragon charged directly towards the black dragon.

Su Zixuan watched the black dragon with a worried face and asked, "Yu Yan, what’s the situation with this black dragon?"

Zhang Yuyan heard this and said solemnly, "This black dragon is called the Abyssal Demon Dragon, ranked ninety-seventh in the Hundred Emperors, at the Mid-stage Peak of First Rank at Emperor Level, slightly stronger than grandfather’s Gale Battle Dragon."

Su Zixuan’s face turned extremely grim upon hearing this. The Hundred Emperors is what the Alliance calls the one hundred most powerful Star Beasts, meaning there are at least a hundred Emperor-level Star Beasts on the Star Beast side, like a giant stone pressing over the Alliance.

Some might think that with all hundred Emperor-level Star Beasts attacking at once, the Alliance would surely be unable to resist, and humanity would have been extinct by now, but the reality is far more complex than it seems.

Even the upper echelons of humanity cannot fully unify, let alone the Star Beasts.

No matter how strong the Star Beasts are, they inherently possess the animal instinct of territory awareness. As long as humanity doesn’t actively invade their territories, they rarely leave to attack humans.

As for the reason for Beast Tides, it’s mostly due to food. As Star Beasts have evolved, they’ve attained intelligence comparable to humans.

They won’t just mindlessly hunt the creatures of their territory like those uncivilized wild beasts. They haven’t exterminated humans entirely because they see humans as food and to suppress the reproduction rates of lower species. After all, Blue Star is limited in size and carrying capacity, and if Star Beasts proliferate unchecked, they’d likely wipe themselves out even without external interference.

The Gale Battle Dragon and the Abyssal Demon Dragon stared each other down in mid-air, neither side making an immediate move, focusing instead on the two Guardian Beasts below.

At this moment, the Star Power within Lei Yao and Nirvana surged stronger, like two butterflies ready to break out of their cocoons.

Soon, over a hundred Emperor-level Star Beasts also began arriving one after another, but they all gathered behind the Abyssal Demon Dragon without any immediate intention to act, clearly waiting for the right moment.

The members of the Cyan Dragon Army also gathered behind Zhang Tianlong, their faces solemn as they focused on the Star Beasts.

Whether in numbers or overall strength, the human side was slightly inferior to the Star Beast side, but the battle was unavoidable, and they had no intention of retreating.

In these two years, Chu Chen’s Guardian Beasts had made significant contributions to the Cyan Dragon Army, the number of Star Beasts they slew rivaling that of a vast army, and the number of soldiers they saved amounted to several tens of thousands. Moreover, the human side gaining two additional Emperor-level Guardian Beasts was of immense benefit to the entire Alliance.
