Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 455 - 440: A Promising Future and a Hidden Deadly Crisis

Chapter 455: Chapter 440: A Promising Future and a Hidden Deadly Crisis

Xiaoruan detailed the new ability derived from integrating the All-Encompassing Divine Stone to Li Cunxu.

After hearing the description of the new ability, Li Cunxu was ecstatic. It was another incredibly abnormal ability, and the enhancement it provided to Xiaoruan was in no way inferior to the enhancement of the true Slime Transformation Technique.

Li Cunxu could already envision Xiaoruan leading Xiaobai Spider and the others to grow stronger, and Xiaoruan being invincible at the emperor level.

Then, Li Cunxu said to Xiaoruan with a wry smile.

"Xiaoruan, you used the wrong words to describe it. While your ability does have some aspect of sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others, it’s not much. You should describe it as ’investing in the future.’

The new ability of the Myriad Phenomena Law: Xiaoruan can permanently cut a part of the Power of the Myriad Laws and lend it to others for absorption.

The Myriad Phenomena Law can accommodate all laws, absorbing them. Naturally, all laws can also absorb the Myriad Phenomena Law.

However, when other laws absorb the Power of the Myriad Laws, there is a loss in the process. Suppose Xiaoruan lends out a Power of the Myriad Laws equivalent to 1, gives it to Xiaobai Spider for absorption, and Xiaobai Spider’s Causal Law fully absorbs this Power of the Myriad Laws; at most, the Causal Law increases by 0.7 of its power.

There is more than a 30% loss.

"Xiaobai Spider and the others are fortunate; they won’t have to worry about law growth in the future. When they reach the king level, Xiaoruan will lend them the Power of the Myriad Laws to enhance their own laws."

Of course, Xiaoruan isn’t just giving; it also gains, and the gains are significant.

First, pet beasts that have absorbed Xiaoruan’s Power of the Myriad Laws are naturally at a disadvantage when facing Xiaoruan. After all, those who eat another’s food must be lenient, and their laws become inexplicably powerless against Xiaoruan’s Myriad Phenomena Law. The more Power of the Myriad Laws they absorb, the less effective their laws become.

This doesn’t significantly affect Xiaobai Spider and the others; they are all Li Cunxu’s pet beasts and partners. There is no reason for hostility, but Xiaoruan cannot engage in intra-team battles because it has too great an advantage.

This does impact pet beasts outside of Li Cunxu’s team that have absorbed Xiaoruan’s Power of the Myriad Laws.

Secondly, if pet beasts that have absorbed Xiaoruan’s lent Power of the Myriad Laws die, their laws return to Xiaoruan.

There is a borrowing and a returning.

That is to say, pet beasts that absorb the lent Power of Law will definitely drop their laws upon death.

Moreover, no matter where they die across the ends of the earth, their laws will travel via the Sea of Laws, across oceans, back beside Xiaoruan.

Xiaoruan doesn’t need to actively collect debts.

Lastly, the lent Power of the Myriad Laws allows Xiaoruan’s Myriad Phenomena Law to mimic others’ laws.

For instance, if Xiaobai Spider’s Causal Law absorbs Xiaoruan’s lent Power of Law, Xiaoruan’s Myriad Phenomena Law can then mimic Xiaobai Spider’s Causal Law to use its abilities. The more borrowed Power of Law the Causal Law absorbs, the stronger the mimicry by the Myriad Phenomena Law.

"Xiaoruan should first lend some Power of the Myriad Laws to other kings, making them forcibly absorb it; after their death, reap a full law. After the Myriad Phenomena Law absorbs this law and enhances itself, it permanently segments a portion to be lent to other pet beasts in the team for absorption.

This way, the pet beasts in the team also improve alongside Xiaoruan, and Xiaoruan’s Myriad Phenomena Law gains opportunities to mimic other laws, achieving a perfect internal cycle."

The more Li Cunxu thought about it, the happier he became. His smile grew more radiant; Xiaoruan’s invincible emperor path lay clearly before him, and the emperor paths of the other pet beasts also had prospects. How could Li Cunxu not be happy? The future was promising and bright; his grin was about to split his face.

It seemed everything was headed towards the most beautiful future, but reality dealt Li Cunxu a heavy blow, a blow concerning life and death.

At Li Cunxu’s happiest moment, suddenly, a crackling sound came from his wrist. Then, Li Cunxu’s brows knitted, his smile gradually faded until it disappeared completely, and his expression became extremely somber as he involuntarily released his vast, ocean-like spiritual power, throwing the entire sea area into an eerie silence.

All the pet beasts were taken aback, unaware of what occurred. Xiaoruan immediately shielded Jiang Lingyun, who was only at the overlord level.

Actually, even without shielding, it didn’t matter. Jiang Lingyun had a life-saving jade, which could autonomously protect against crises, at most consuming one seal’s defense skills of the life-saving jade.

Moreover, Li Cunxu retained some rationality, controlling his spiritual power to bypass Jiang Lingyun.

Jiang Lingyun had already reached the overlord level and was not far from becoming a king. Though she started late, under the nurture of abundant resources found through her unparalleled fortune, Jiang Lingyun’s growth speed was rapid.

According to her current growth trajectory, as long as the Four Divines fail to conquer the world within a century, Jiang Lingyun will undoubtedly become a fortune emperor in the future.

Li Cunxu remained silent, and the surrounding world followed suit in silence.

In his unrest, Li Cunxu forcibly silenced what was not silent with his spiritual power.

The surrounding seawater surged with waves, creating noise, which Li Cunxu’s spiritual power then controlled to stop flowing.

For a moment, the surrounding sea surface was as calm as a mirror, without a ripple in sight.

The yacht’s sound-producing turbine propulsion systems and engines also fell victim to Li Cunxu’s unrelenting spiritual power, compressed into a mass of scrap metal.

All the pet beasts could sense that Li Cunxu’s mood was very oppressive, very angry, and very furious.

It was an unprecedented fury.

He was on the verge of an outburst.

The vast spiritual power roused a slumbering sea dragon, at the peak of King Nine, from the seabed.

The sea dragon looked towards the surface discontentedly. This was its territory. Was releasing spiritual power wantonly in its territory a provocation?

The sea dragon swam towards the surface quickly, but before it could ram the yacht, Li Cunxu’s sidelong glance, filled with endless coldness, fell upon it.

Half of the spiritual power vanished. A World-Ending Black Thunder, as thick as a tank, descended, turning the sea dragon at the peak of its king level into a dead dragon in an instant.

Having an object to vent on relieved some of Li Cunxu’s previous oppressive feeling.

Jiang Lingyun cautiously asked, "Boss, what’s wrong?"

Li Cunxu’s voice was still filled with coldness, "Someone played me."

Jiang Lingyun asked in confusion, "Who?"

"I don’t know, but he’s even more troublesome than the Collection Emperor."

"I just played a little trick to send off the Collection Emperor, and now such a great enemy has appeared. Life truly is unpredictable."

Li Cunxu said heavily, glancing down at the red string on his wrist, where an Old President’s Life-saving Jade should have been, but now it was gone.

Li Cunxu suddenly realized that the crackling sound earlier was the sound of the Old President’s Life-saving Jade shattering.

It was precisely because the Old President’s Life-saving Jade shattered that he came to his senses in time. Someone had indeed played him.

However, it was fortunate that the life-saving jade shattered; otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how he died in the future.

Even with four life-saving jades, no, now with one shattered, even three life-saving jades couldn’t protect him.

Li Cunxu’s expression became increasingly solemn. The shattering of the Old President’s Life-saving Jade awakened him to the fact that the person who played him was definitely at the emperor level, and quite a formidable one at that.

What did the shattering of the Old President’s Life-saving Jade awaken Li Cunxu to?
