Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 299 - 296 Spiritual Toad Promotion, Space Distortion

Chapter 299: Chapter 296: Spiritual Toad Promotion, Space Distortion Chapter 299: Chapter 296: Spiritual Toad Promotion, Space Distortion A giant dragon that had lived for nearly ten thousand years and was at the top level of rank nine, one could only imagine how strong it must have been.

The Dragon Spirit Fruit that formed from the power of the origin of such a high-level giant dragon was naturally much stronger than the True Yuan within the Ruyi Golden Snake, so with the aid of the Dragon Spirit Fruit, the already on the verge of upgrading Ruyi Golden Snake effortlessly broke through the bottleneck and formed a Golden Core.

This was a true Golden Core, with not a hint of Demon Energy, and adding to that the Ruyi Golden Snake was originally an exotic species Spiritual Snake that cultivated the Gold Element Path and possessed the Innate Divine Ability, Ruyi Golden Light, so the Golden Core it condensed was dazzling with golden brilliance, catching everyone’s eye.

Moreover, after forming the Golden Core, the not yet fully digested Dragon Spirit Fruit continued providing energy incessantly, significantly enhancing the Ruyi Golden Snake’s Golden Core, at the very least adding ten years of Dao Cultivation and helping it to completely stabilize its realm.

“So this is what Core Formation looks like?!”

Qin Feng’s spirit was mostly focused on the Ruyi Golden Snake, perceiving various changes during its upgrade, which made him even more confident about his own advancement.

After a while, Qin Feng snapped back to reality, sensing the tremendous power emanating from the Ruyi Golden Snake and couldn’t help but grin.

Then, with a thought, the newly upgraded Ruyi Golden Snake didn’t wait for the last bit of energy from the Dragon Spirit Fruit to be refined completely within its body; it flew directly out of the protective shield of the Small Five Elements Demon Suppression Array and pounced toward the Thunder Hawk that was continuously emitting lightning.

...

“Screech…”

Outside the array, the Thunder Hawk was startled by the sudden appearance of this little snake in front of it.

Its speed was too fast.

So fast that before it could react, the snake was already in front of it.

The Ruyi Golden Snake then suddenly grew larger in size, becoming five to six zhang long, and spat out a scorching Dragon Breath.

Yes, Dragon Breath.

The Ruyi Golden Snake had refined the Dragon Spirit Fruit and, after being altered by the Power of Giant Dragon Origin within the fruit, possessed the most common skill of the Giant Dragon Clan.

This was also an ability inherent in every giant dragon, calling it a Talent Divine Ability when described in terms of Spiritual Beasts would be apt.

Of course, besides the talent skill of Dragon Breath, the Giant Dragon Clan also possessed a powerful bloodline legacy, and the formidable might of the Dragon Language Magic was definitely a major reason why giant dragons dominated territories.

Because Qin Feng didn’t allow the Ruyi Golden Snake to fully undergo the transformation with the Dragon Spirit Fruit’s Giant Dragon Clan origin power, the Ruyi Golden Snake only inherited the talent skill of Dragon Breath.

But having that one ability was enough; what it had ingested was the Dragon Spirit Fruit from a Fire Element Giant Dragon—Dragon Breath naturally had stronger inherent firepower compared to the breath of giant dragons of other elementals, so the power of the Ruyi Golden Snake’s Dragon Breath would definitely not be weak.

Therefore, just one breath of Dragon Breath caught the unsuspecting Thunder Hawk square on, and then a flick of its long tail hit the Thunder Hawk hard, leaving it dazed and confused.

However, this was after all a middle-rank level-eight Demon Beast with formidable strength, and it quickly recovered.

Smelling the burnt scent emanating from its body, the Thunder Hawk became furious and immediately shot out a series of lightning strikes at the Ruyi Golden Snake.

But, the Ruyi Golden Snake suddenly shrunk in size, turning into a small snake that was about a foot long, quickly dodging the Thunder Hawk’s attack and dove toward the Demon Beasts below.

It moved like lightning, its size changing as it wished, capable of flying and burrowing; its Ruyi Golden Light was also incredibly sharp.

At that moment, when it dived into the group of Demon Beasts attacking the protective shield of the array, it immediately caused a bloody storm.

In just a moment, twenty to thirty intermediate Demon Beasts that had broken in were cut in half by the Ruyi Golden Light Slash, while several others were burned to mere skeletons by its Dragon Breath.

But Qin Feng soon found out that using Dragon Breath consumed much more energy than the Ruyi Golden Light.

Because Dragon Breath was essentially just spitting out a cluster of Fire Energy nurtured within the belly, there was no finesse to it, unlike the Ruyi Golden Light which was subtle in power and versatile in its changes.

When facing a large number of low- and mid-level magical beasts, Dragon Breath was certainly effective, it could be used as a type of wide-range killing Flame Divine Power, but when facing opponents of equal strength, its power seemed too scattered.

Moreover, Ruyi Golden Snake had only recently acquired this Talent Skill and had not yet accumulated much Fire Element Power within its body.

The power from the Dragon Spirit Fruit had been used by it to advance and transform its body, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any surplus Fire Energy for it to consume.

Therefore, it wasn’t long before Ruyi Golden Snake stopped breathing out Dragon Breath in large amounts.

Instead, it mainly relied on Ruyi Golden Light, with Dragon Breath as secondary, occasionally utilizing Big and Small Ruyi Changes to its body to either soar into the sky or burrow into the ground to evade attacks.

For a time, it alone disturbed all the magical beasts to no end, preventing them from attacking the arrays’ defenses in peace.

Otherwise, with just a moment’s inattention, they would be ambushed up close by Ruyi Golden Snake, either shrinking in size to launch a stealth attack or enlarging its body to entangle, tear, and whip at them.

Sometimes it would even burrow underground and, taking advantage of a moment when a magical beast was distracted, suddenly burst from beneath them and slice open their bellies with its Golden Wings.

Only those flying magical beasts in the half-sky did not have to endure such sneaky attacks.

Seeing the situation greatly improve, Qin Feng quickly instructed the Soul Devouring Vine Demon at the mouth of the valley not to fight so desperately, doing its best was enough.

Otherwise, if things continued like this, the vine demon would surely be killed.

Even with its Regeneration Power, the place where it stored energy at its root had already slimmed down.

Continuing like this would definitely deplete its strength.

However, if the Swallowing Sky Toad did not advance soon, even with the myriad methods of Ruyi Golden Snake, it wouldn’t last long, as more powerful magical beasts were arriving from afar.

Especially when several Level Seven and Eight flying magical beasts attempted to besiege Ruyi Golden Snake, Qin Feng was also startled.

This was his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, which had just succeeded in Core Formation.

He couldn’t let anything happen to it.

So he directly controlled Ruyi Golden Snake to change shape and fly down, circling around the perimeter of the array, attacking the beasts as it flew.

If the situation turned even slightly unfavorable, he would open a small passage in the Defensive Shield and summon it back into the array.

Luckily those high-level magical beasts were accustomed to fighting individually, unable to cooperate and unite their efforts.

Besides their natural Magic Power, their only semblance of a commendable tactic was to use their powerful physiques for close combat.

Beyond that, they had no other methods.

If Ruyi Golden Snake were trapped by seven or eight cultivators of the same level, escaping would have been difficult.

The disturbance from the battle here was immense, with various magic fluctuations, the explosions of thunder and fireballs spreading far and wide.

Moreover, with nearly a hundred mid-level magical beasts already dead or wounded on the ground, along with over a dozen Level Seven beasts, the intense scent of blood wafted through the air, attracting more and more magical beasts to this location.

Realizing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but inwardly groan.

The fluctuations from Swallowing Sky Toad’s advancement had indeed attracted many magical beasts, but they were all just within twenty to thirty miles.

However, because of the large commotion of the battle, magical beasts from even farther away kept coming.

Fortunately, Swallowing Sky Toad’s advancement had reached the final moment, condensing its Demon Core.

In Qin Feng’s sense, it would be able to complete its advancement in no more than a quarter of an hour.

This made Qin Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, such a short span of time was still within his endurance.

Otherwise, if it really required another hour or two, it was difficult to say what might happen.

If the commotion of the battle grew too great and attracted several Level Nine magical beasts, he would have had no choice but to have Swallowing Sky Toad abandon Core Formation and flee directly.

Even now, as he looked at the several Level Eight magical beasts and the twenty to thirty Level Seven beasts that had appeared outside the array, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

It was fortunate that these magical beasts lacked high Spiritual Intelligence.

Although they inherited Magical Talent Skills, their barbaric living environments had conditioned them to brute force, which allowed him to rely on the array to barely keep up.

Otherwise, they could have been treated as a large group of Demon Core Realm magical beasts.

Just as Qin Feng thought about how to escape later, the advancement of Swallowing Sky Toad was approaching its end.

The Demon Core within its belly gradually took shape, and the space inside its body was expanding, reaching nearly a hundred feet in size.

Finally, the energy from the Space Crystal Stone was exhausted, and the Demon Core was fully formed at that moment.

“Croak!”

A frog’s croak, like thunder.

At that moment, starlight twinkled in the eyes of Swallowing Sky Toad, its form shook violently, and it suddenly grew roughly double in size, becoming as large as a house.

Qin Feng could sense the surge of emotions coming from the Swallowing Sky Toad.

From the spiritual waves emanating from the Swallowing Sky Toad, he perceived joy and gratitude.

It seemed that the simple-minded toad had developed quite a bit of spiritual intelligence; it couldn’t express its feelings so clearly in the past.

Indeed, happiness filled the heart of the Swallowing Sky Toad, as did boundless gratitude towards its master.

It knew that if it weren’t for its master, not only would a Demon Core advancement be out of the question, but it might still be aimlessly wandering in the Qi Refining Realm.

Perhaps one day, it would have been easily killed by a powerful Demon Beast or Cultivator with just a strike or two.

Even if it had safely avoided any formidable opponents, it was highly likely that it would eventually die of old age due to a lack of energy for advancement.

But now, after only a few short years of following its master, its strength had leapfrogged several levels.

It had advanced from the Qi Refining Realm to Foundation Establishment and had formed a Demon Core.

Moreover, its body had acquired several other Divine Skills, allowing it to enhance its internal energy in two alternative cultivation methods.

Such fortune naturally filled the simple-hearted Swallowing Sky Toad with gratitude.

The Star Light in the eyes of the Swallowing Sky Toad faded as it looked at the hundreds of Demon Beasts of varied sizes outside the Defensive Array, a sense of battle fervor rising within it.

It was because of its own advancement that such trouble had been brought upon its master.

Now that it had formed its Demon Core, it was only natural for it to fight for its master.

Moreover, it had exhausted the energy it had accumulated during its advancement, and its stomach was now empty with hunger.

It was an ideal time to feed on the Demon Beasts outside.

After sensing the emotions it conveyed, Qin Feng simply smiled and waved his hand to let it out.

Now that the Swallowing Sky Toad had successfully advanced, he had no further worries.

Since the Swallowing Sky Toad wanted to fight, he would let it do so, and it would be a good opportunity for him to see its true strength.

The Swallowing Sky Toad’s limbs sprang into action, leaving through the channel Qin Feng had created in the Defensive Shield.

Once outside, it let out a resounding croak like thunder, shaking the mid-level Demon Beasts around it and even attracting the attention of the higher-level ones.

Next, they saw the Swallowing Sky Toad open its mouth wide, its tongue lashing out like lightning, piercing through the Griffin that was circling above its head.

Its tongue coiled around the Griffin, pulling it into its mouth and swallowing it whole.

This ferocious method of consuming food stunned many Demon Beasts, instilling fear and hesitation.

After all, Demon Beasts were not solely aggressive.

They, too, knew fear and would flee from an opponent they could not defeat.

Moreover, now that the Swallowing Sky Toad had completed its advancement and was no longer attracting elemental power, plus the Ruyi Golden Snake had already consumed the Dragon Spirit Fruit, the remaining Demon Beasts were only continuing their assault out of sheer luck, hoping to kill the Ruyi Golden Snake, which had just consumed the fruit, perhaps gaining evolutionary power by devouring it.

But now, witnessing the domineering appearance of the Swallowing Sky Toad, the mid-level Demon Beasts realized that this was not an adversary they could handle, and perhaps it was time to flee.

However, the high-level Demon Beasts, those of the seventh and eighth rank, were not yet ready to give up.

Among them, a Two-Legged Flying Dragon flew close and spat a poisonous mist at the Swallowing Sky Toad, attempting to poison it to death.

But the Swallowing Sky Toad didn’t even try to dodge; its tongue pierced through the poison mist, wrapping around the Two-Legged Flying Dragon like a chain.

It then yanked it down, ignoring its struggles and wails, and continued to swallow.

Due to the dragon’s larger size and the fact that it was still alive and struggling, casting magic and spewing poison fog, the process was somewhat arduous for the toad.

But it was only slightly strenuous.

There was no flesh on the wings of the Two-Legged Flying Dragon, thin as bat wings.

The Swallowing Sky Toad used its claws to stuff the dragon into its mouth, swallowing it whole.

Then, burping contentedly, it spat out the poison fog that the Two-Legged Flying Dragon had desperately released inside its stomach, spraying it directly onto the head of a sixth-level Cloud Leopard that was rushing towards it.

The leopard immediately rolled its eyes back, losing balance for a moment, and nearly fell to the ground with its head first.

Before the dazed beast could recover, the Swallowing Sky Toad’s mouth opened wide again and down went the Cloud Leopard as well.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion roared, and several bolts of lightning struck down towards the Swallowing Sky Toad in mid-air.

The Swallowing Sky Toad kicked back with its hind legs and instantly leaped away, then crouched on the ground.

Gazing upward at the Thunder Hawk, which had been scorched black all over by a Dragon Breath from the Ruyi Golden Snake, its white belly bulged, and with two grunting sounds, it kicked its legs again and quickly shot towards the Thunder Hawk in mid-air.

It wanted to devour this large bird.

This was an eighth-level Demon Beast, significantly more powerful than it, but after the earlier depletion and being injured by the Ruyi Golden Snake’s Dragon Breath, it might still have a chance to succeed.

Ordinary demon beasts are far from being as energy-rich as these top-level Demon Beasts.

Devouring this Thunder Hawk should be equivalent to five or six seventh-level Demon Beasts.

The Thunder Hawk was one of the most combative among eighth-level Demon Beasts.

Moreover, knowing that the Swallowing Sky Toad had just advanced in level, its strength would definitely not match its own.

Under these circumstances, how could it possibly be afraid of this giant toad?

Therefore, it let out a piercing screech and shot out bolts of lightning towards the Swallowing Sky Toad.

At the same time, it flapped its wings vigorously and extended its sharp talons hidden under its belly to grab at the Swallowing Sky Toad’s back.

It wanted to proclaim its strength with the death of this large toad.

Unfortunately, it didn’t realize that the amount of strength didn’t equate to the strength of war power.

Being an Exotic Species Spiritual Beast with Talent Space Divine Power, the Swallowing Sky Toad wouldn’t have provoked it without some confidence.

Then, they saw the Swallowing Sky Toad’s figure suddenly flash, employing its Space Shifting Divine Power to dodge the Thunder Hawk’s attack, and reappeared on the back of a seventh-level Demon Beast, the Red Flame Eagle.

It kicked off the back of the Red Flame Eagle, and with an immense force, caused the Red Flame Eagle to falter and crash towards the ground.

Before the Red Flame Eagle could reach the ground, a flash of golden light appeared, and the Ruyi Golden Snake arrived in an instant.

As the Red Flame Eagle looked on in terror, the Ruyi Golden Snake crossed its Golden Wings behind its back and slashed off the head of the Red Flame Eagle.

Above, the Swallowing Sky Toad continued the force of its previous kick, slamming its head straight into the belly of the Thunder Hawk, causing the Hawk to let out a mournful cry, its charred feathers flying wildly, as its body was flung upward into the sky.

But, being one of the outstanding among the eighth-level Demon Beasts, it quickly recovered, flipping its body around and flapping its wings rapidly, not sparing any energy spewing out over a dozen bolts of lightning, trying to halt the Swallowing Sky Toad’s pursuit.

However, this time the Swallowing Sky Toad didn’t dodge or evade, a distortion appeared in the space around it, causing the Thunder Hawk’s lightning to streak by its side and strike the ground instead.

“What is this?”

Below, Qin Feng suddenly widened his eyes.

What kind of Divine Power was this, capable of twisting space to dodge attacks?

It seemed that after its Core Formation, the Swallowing Sky Toad had Awakened a new Innate Divine Ability.

In mid-air, the Swallowing Sky Toad rapidly closed in on the Thunder Hawk, countless stars sparkling behind it, morphing into myriad points of starlight that struck the Thunder Hawk’s body.

Even as the Thunder Hawk desperately defended itself, it was still penetrated by those countless stars, exploding in a mist of blood.

Without waiting for the Thunder Hawk to escape, the Swallowing Sky Toad’s long tongue pierced through its belly, coiled it down, and forcibly swallowed the fierce Thunder Hawk.

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

Indeed, top-level Spiritual Beasts possessed the capability to fight above their level.

Although the Swallowing Sky Toad was a super glutton that demanded a lot of time and resources from him, and if it weren’t for Elder Kongkong granting him a Space Crystal Stone, it would’ve been unknown how long it would take to cultivate it to the Core Formation Realm.

But now, as the Swallowing Sky Toad advanced in level, Qin Feng felt that all his past efforts were worthwhile.

The combat power of this Spiritual Toad was truly formidable.

And this was just after entering the Demon Core Realm.

If it later progressed to the Purple Mansion, he didn’t even know how powerful this Spiritual Toad would become.

However, just as a smile appeared on Qin Feng’s face, suddenly, from afar came a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering Dragon Roar.
