Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 507 - 451: Flights of Fancy

After Chu Chen handed over Xiong Qing and the others to Yuan Zhixing, he set off with Long Batian and the other two towards the Teleportation Array.

"Did you gain anything this time out?" Long Batian asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Chen took out a bottle of crimson-gold liquid from the Spatial Ring.

Seeing this, Long Batian asked in surprise, "Is this Blood Ancestor Essence Blood?"

Chu Chen nodded and replied, "That’s right, it is indeed Blood Ancestor Essence Blood."

Long Batian pondered for a moment and said, "The Blood God Sect has been destroyed. It’s best to destroy this after using it to prevent the rise of another Blood God Sect."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "You’re overthinking it, teacher. Other Beast Masters cannot control this Blood Ancestor Essence Blood."

Long Batian heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That’s for the best, but you should still keep it safe and not lose it."

"Don’t worry, teacher. I have my own plans, but I do have a favor to ask."

Long Batian showed a look of surprise at his words.

"Oh? Let me hear it."

Chu Chen removed the Beast Taming Ring from his pinky finger and handed it to Long Batian. "These are Blood Beasts containing Blood Ancestor Essence Blood. Could you help me extract the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood using the method for extracting Cyan Dragon Essence Blood?"

Long Batian had worked for many years at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, extracting Cyan Dragon Essence Blood from Star Beasts with the Cyan Dragon Bloodline.

The Five Great Daoist Schools all possessed this kind of technology.

Long Batian frowned slightly; this was not a difficult task for him, just a word.

But his disciple was growing too fast, with a desire for power far beyond ordinary people.

He was worried that his disciple might stray down the wrong path in pursuit of power.

Chu Chen, seeing this, asked in confusion, "Teacher, is there some difficulty?"

Long Batian shook his head and said, "It’s not difficult, I’m just afraid you’ll stray from the right path."

Chu Chen laughed heartily at his words.

"Why are you laughing, boy?"

Chu Chen waved his hand quickly and said, "You’re overthinking it, teacher. If I dare to use it, I naturally have confidence in controlling it. Besides, don’t you know me well enough by now?"

Long Batian, after pausing for a moment, took the Beast Taming Ring and said, "Alright, I’ll handle it then. This way, I can also keep a close eye on it for you."

Liu Hongzhi listened to the conversation between the two but said nothing, simply frowned and remained silent.

This time, he hadn’t reaped any benefits and his beasts were severely injured, so he would have to spend a substantial amount on treatment upon returning.

He had planned to achieve some great merits, but the three Sect Leaders of the Blood God Sect had all died at the hands of Chu Chen, making it a case of losing both his wife and his soldiers.

Seeing this, Chu Chen patted Liu Hongzhi on the shoulder and said, "Elder Liu, your contribution is immense. Without your intervention, we couldn’t have annihilated the Blood God Sect. You deserve the top credit in this battle."

Long Batian understood Chu Chen’s intentions. Most of the benefits this time were taken by him and his disciple, while Liu Hongzhi had suffered significant losses. If they didn’t appropriately credit him, future interactions might be less than harmonious, especially given Liu Hongzhi’s long-standing influence as an Elder in the Alliance.

If Liu decided to speak ill of them, other Elders might also distance themselves.

If a similar situation arose in the future, who would help them again?

They could keep the benefits while giving away some great achievements. Moreover, he already possessed the Celestial Tier Meditation Technique, without an immediate need for more achievements. As for Chu Chen, he wasn’t lacking in achievements either; he had at least ten evolution formulas spread across the past two years.

Each evolution formula brought three major achievements, making Chu Chen the individual with the most achievements in the entire Alliance.

Considering this, Long Batian quickly added, "Chu Chen is right. If Elder Liu hadn’t held off Gong Chengjun, we could all have been slaughtered by the enemy. Elder Liu has indeed saved our lives, so naturally, the top credit belongs to him. I will definitely report this to the Alliance Hierarch once we return."

Liu Hongzhi was surprised by the two’s words.

The two repeated, "Elder Liu, you don’t need to worry. The top credit is yours."

Liu Hongzhi’s worries vanished, and gratitude filled his eyes as he looked at the pair.

If what they said was true, not only would he save face, but he could also gain four or five major achievements—a huge gain.

Thinking about this, Liu Hongzhi cupped his hands toward them and said, "Forgive my presumptuousness. If there are any matters in the future that require my help, just say the word."

The two were naturally humble and did not try to take credit, exchanging polite pleasantries before all three returned to the Alliance with smiles on their faces.

Upon their return, they immediately went to Zhao Wudi’s office to report their mission in detail.

Chu Chen’s killing of the three Blood God Sect Leaders was a fact, though he spun it as exploiting a weakness.

Zhao Wudi, after a brief moment of thought, understood the group’s intention.

Killing old Emperor-Level experts and considering it exploiting a weakness—this was quite a huge "weakness" to exploit.

Zhao Wudi, however, did not expose them, since none of the three objected, and he didn’t want to be the villain.

He distributed ten major achievements among the three of them, giving Liu Hongzhi, who made the top contribution, five major achievements.

Long Batian received three major achievements, while Chu Chen received two.

With his achievements in hand, Liu Hongzhi immediately went to tend to his wounded beasts.

After Liu Hongzhi left, Chu Chen quickly said, "Lord Alliance Leader, may I allocate my two achievements to my teacher? I feel taking two for myself is undeserved, as I didn’t exert much effort this time."

Zhao Wudi responded half-jokingly, "Do you think I’m blind? I’ve reviewed the recordings, and without your intervention, Elder Liu would have died."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chu Chen scratched his nose and said, "Please don’t be angry, Lord. I didn’t intend to deceive. Elder Liu indeed played a crucial role, distracting Gong Chengjun during the battle, securing our victory."

"Fine, let it be as you say; you’re not short on achievements anyway."

Chu Chen immediately expressed joy, showering compliments: "You’re indeed wise and just, Lord. Under your leadership, our Alliance will surely thrive."

Zhao Wudi seemed unimpressed and said sternly, "Enough flattery. Let’s talk about your matter now."

Pretending to be ignorant, Chu Chen replied, "What matter do I have?"

"Don’t play dumb. Your increasing strength might not interest me, but others will certainly be curious."

Realizing the seriousness, Chu Chen’s expression changed quickly, and he somberly asked, "You’re referring to the Grand Elder?"

Zhao Wudi nodded, "Yes. I’ve covered for you, but it won’t hold for long. Be cautious in your actions and avoid returning to the camp for now."

Though disappointed, Chu Chen acknowledged the gravity of the matter and agreed.

In his battle with Gong Chengjun, he noticed the miraculous properties of the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood. Lei Yao’s Blood Power could integrate with the Blood Power of other Blood Beasts to amplify Lei Yao’s attacks.

With a bold idea in mind, he wanted to breed some ordinary Blood Beasts.

Without hiding his thoughts, he shared his idea with Long Batian and Zhao Wudi.

The two exchanged looks, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

The idea was indeed audacious and novel. If successful, Chu Chen’s combat power would reach an extremely formidable level.

If realized, even Zhao Wudi admitted he might not stand a chance.

However, Chu Chen’s handling of Liu Hongzhi’s case showed his integrity, making Zhao Wudi inclined to help.

With this in mind, Zhao Wudi asked seriously, "What’s your plan?"

Chu Chen, having already crafted a plan, answered without hesitation.

"Achieving this goal has three challenges: first, taming the ferocious Blood Beasts; second, sourcing them; third, ensuring they are strong enough to be effective."

Zhao Wudi nodded in agreement, "You’ve considered this thoroughly. I can help with the second and third challenges. Several high-ranking members of the Blood God Sect have surrendered; there are over a thousand Blood Beasts, all King Level and above. However, taming them will be up to you." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chu Chen was visibly pleased; he had hoped Zhao Wudi would supply the Blood Beasts necessary for his plan.

Taming these beasts might seem formidable for others, but for Chu Chen, it was relatively simple. Lei Yao, possessing the Blood God Essence Blood, naturally suppressed ordinary Blood Beasts, and being a Blood Beast himself, he could dominate them if stronger.

"Don’t worry, I can handle the taming process myself."

After further discussion, Chu Chen and his companion took their leave.
