Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 611 - 552: Life Source Pearl

"Let's go in and take a look," Chu Chen said in a low voice, patting Shadow Kill beneath him.

Upon hearing this, Shadow Kill let out a low hiss, its blade arms clearing a path as it swiftly carried Chu Chen into the tree cavern.

The cavern was vertically upward, and Shadow Kill crawled for about a minute before reaching a spot where it could settle.

This area was approximately seventy to eighty square meters large, and Shadow Kill could barely fit its massive body in.

Shadow Kill was dissatisfied and immediately prepared to swing its blade arms to forcibly expand the space.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stopped it, saying, "Don't move blindly."

Shadow Kill reluctantly lowered its blade arms and crouched down.

Chu Chen then ignored it. Since the Green Chameleon had built its nest here, there must be a reason.

After pondering for a while, Chu Chen came to two conclusions.

First, there might be natural enemies of the Green Chameleon nearby, otherwise, it wouldn't choose to reside in such a small space given its power.

Second, there are Heavenly and Earthly Treasures here, and it set up its nest to guard these treasures.

Currently, Chu Chen leaned more toward the first guess because he hadn't seen any treasures here.

Nevertheless, he did not immediately leave; some Star Beasts hide treasures, and missing them would be regrettable.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen began to search carefully.

A moment later, he shook his head helplessly; the place was only so big. He had searched several times but had found nothing.

Maybe he's overthinking; the Green Chameleon nested here perhaps merely to avoid natural enemies.

Unwilling to leave, Chu Chen slowly closed his eyes and released his Soul Power entirely.

Soon, the entire space was filled with Soul Power, and Chu Chen maxed his perception.

In his perception, there were faint traces of Star Power and Power of Life on the wooden ceiling above; if not carefully checked, these details could easily be overlooked.

Moments later, Chu Chen opened his eyes suddenly, joy flashing through his gaze.

He raised his hand towards the wooden ceiling above, and his Soul Power hand went directly through the ceiling. Upon retrieving the Soul Power hand, a green orb appeared in his palm.

The orb was about the size of an infant's fist, with a pure green body, crystal-clear like crystal, exuding a strong Power of Life from within.

Chu Chen rubbed the orb in his hand, muttering, "Could this be the Life Essence Orb?"

Chu Chen flipped through a Heavenly and Earthly Treasures directory from his Spatial Ring to confirm his guess.

The orb in his hand was indeed the Life Essence Orb, classified as Celestial Rank Lower Grade treasure. Its efficacy could be broadly divided into two types.

The first type is healing, using Soul Power to activate and harness its internal Power of Life to treat the injured.

The second type is longevity; wearing the Life Essence Orb regularly not only wards off all diseases but also extends life. Directly consuming it can increase lifespan by a hundred years.

This Life Essence Orb is indeed a rare treasure, invaluable to those nearing the end of their lifespan.

Chu Chen planned to give it to Mrs. Chu upon returning. Nowadays, Father Chu's Talent has been enhanced, and he has cultivated to King Level; however, Mrs. Chu's Cultivation Talent is lower, and even with ample Cultivation Resources, she is only at Great Soul Master Level.

If Mrs. Chu wore this, she could remain with Father Chu for a long time without fearing illness.

Chu Chen carefully stored the Life Essence Orb and then patted Shadow Kill, who was brimming with grievance, saying, "Alright, we can leave now."

Shadow Kill did not hesitate, striking its blade arms with great force, slicing the tree cavern into two, and it swiftly flew out of the cavern.

"Go check the sky," Chu Chen said in a low voice, patting the slightly displeased Shadow Kill.

Shadow Kill did not hesitate and immediately flew into the sky vertically.

When man and beast reached a height of three thousand zhang, they stopped.

They had reached the Secret Realm's boundary, unable to go higher, so Chu Chen could only gaze afar, trying to look as far as possible.

After some investigation, Chu Chen helplessly found that he couldn't determine his location.

However, he wasn't disheartened and pointed at the distant mountain range, saying, "Go there."

Since he couldn't judge the location visually, he could only do so by assessing the strength of the Star Beasts.

Quickly, man and beast arrived at the mountain's foot, and Chu Chen waved his hand, summoning Lei Yao and Nirvana.

He pointed at the mountain top and said in a low voice, "Charge up."

As his words fell, the beasts let out a burst of excited roars.

They had practiced hard for four months, eager for action. Had it not been for Chu Chen's overwhelming presence, they might have already dashed out.

Lei Yao let out a low roar, exerting force with its limbs, disappearing instantly.

Nirvana was not to be outdone; the Undead Army emerged instantly, encircling the entire mountain range.

Shadow Kill was also itching for action, its blade arms clashing, emitting a metallic "sizzle-sizzle" sound.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately stopped it, saying, "Shadow Kill, come and treasure hunt with me. Leave these Star Beasts to them."

Shadow Kill let out a dissatisfied hiss.

"Alright, when we find treasures, you get first dibs. Would that suffice?"

Upon hearing this, Shadow Kill settled down.

With Lei Yao and Nirvana hunting Star Beasts ahead, Chu Chen and Shadow Kill collected Heavenly and Earthly Treasures behind. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Indeed, the wealth of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in this Eighth-Level Secret Realm was vast.

In this single mountain range alone, he had collected hundreds of treasures, though seventy percent were Yellow Rank and Profound Rank, Earth Tier accounted for thirty percent, and there were no Celestial Tier treasures found.

But several Emperor-level Star Beasts were slain; however, they were all Early-Stage Emperor Level; Chu Chen still couldn't determine his location.

Chu Chen reluctantly continued towards the mountain top.

At this moment, Lei Yao and Nirvana had both reached the summit. Angry roars echoed from the mountaintop, followed by a vast pressure.

Chu Chen sensed this pressure and raised his eyebrows; from the other party's pressure, it seemed to be Mid-Stage Emperor Level.

This discovery piqued Chu Chen's interest; this Mid-Stage Emperor Star Beast might be the king of this mountain range; its lair might hold valuable treasures.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly commanded Shadow Kill to fly towards the summit.

When Shadow Kill arrived at the summit, the battle had mostly concluded.

With Lei Yao's strength, defeating a Star Beast weaker in Realm was easy; if not for its deliberate restraint, Chu Chen would have seen only a corpse.

Lei Yao naturally did so not to toy with prey but rather to use it as a whetstone to quickly master its surging Power.

However, the Star Beast was too feeble, and thus barely aided Lei Yao.

After merely a dozen exchanges, Lei Yao resolved the foe.
