Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 517 - 461: Earth-Tier Soul Skill, Eye of Tracing
Hundreds of thousands of the undead army directly surged into the Yin Mansion, leaving no grass where they passed.
However, not all the Yin Clan members were wastrels; among them were masters, with more than a dozen at the Emperor level, over thirty at the King level, and more than a hundred at the Soul Master level.
Seeing this, Yin Haiping sneered, "A mere undead is not worth worrying about. Boy, don’t forget I have more than one Guardian Beast." With that, he waved his hand, and five Guardian Beasts were summoned by him.
Chu Chen frowned at this sight; among the five Guardian Beasts, one was at the First Rank Emperor level, and the other four were at the Emperor level.
The one at the Emperor level was an Abyssal Bay Crocodile, standing about twenty yards tall and a hundred yards long, covered in dark blue scale armor with extremely stout limbs.
The second was a Red-eyed Golden Eagle, reaching the emperor-level Peak realm.
The third was a pitch-black Dark Demon Python, reaching the Eighth Rank Emperor level.
The fourth was a Wind Shadow Demon Wolf, reaching the Emperor Level Six.
The fifth was a Thunder Ape Demon, at the Fifth Rank Emperor level.
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately rearranged the tactics.
Dofu took its place, and the rat swarm surrounded and attacked the Yin Clan members.
Nirvana was tasked to deal with the Abyssal Bay Crocodile.
The Shadow Kill was assigned to handle the Red-eyed Golden Eagle.
The Dark Demon Python was handed over to Long to deal with.
The Wind Shadow Demon Wolf was naturally handed over to Feng Shuang.
The Thunder Ape Demon could only be dealt with by Unyielding, but Chu Chen arranged for Die Wu to assist it, as Unyielding was only at the First Rank King Level, while the opponent was at the Fifth Rank Emperor Level, making the power gap too large.
Unyielding mastered the Power of Space, so even if it couldn’t win, it could still ensure its safety, as long as it delayed until the other Guardian Beasts came to aid.
Yin Haiping looked at Chu Chen’s other Guardian Beasts with disdain and said, "Boy, you’re still too tender. To think with these pathetic creatures you could contend with my Guardian Beasts is nothing more than a fool’s dream. Today I will slowly torment you, letting your Guardian Beasts die one by one before your eyes."
Chu Chen heard this but remained calm; others might not understand their Guardian Beasts, but he was intimately familiar with them. Fighting beyond their rank was utterly commonplace among them, as each Guardian Beast had multiple Talents, incomparable to ordinary Guardian Beasts.
"You’re happy a bit too early, though you’re quite honored because you’re the only one to have seen my true power."
Yin Haiping sneered, "Boy, you think you can disturb my mind with just a phrase? This method is far too crude."
It was evident the opponent didn’t believe Chu Chen’s words, but that was normal; after all, anyone wouldn’t believe it.
Chu Chen, hearing this, did not say much and directly commanded his Guardian Beasts to battle.
First to act was Lei Yao; the Ruyi Stick instantly appeared in his hand, thrusting toward the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon.
The Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon saw this and immediately swiped with its dragon claw to meet it.
The Ruyi Stick and the dragon claw collided, but instead of the anticipated booming sound, a "crack" was heard.
The Ruyi Stick had broken apart.
Lei Yao was taken aback, his eyes full of heartbreak.
This Ruyi Stick had been with him for years, fighting in countless battles, if not ten thousand, then eight thousand times, with under a million souls perishing by it, and now it was broken.
Seeing Lei Yao stunned, the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon would not miss such an opportunity.
Its tail whipped forcefully, lashing towards Lei Yao.
At this moment, Lei Yao was still immersed in the sorrow of losing the Ruyi Stick, and when he sensed the danger, it was already too late.
The thick dragon tail, with a sonic boom from cutting through the air, struck Lei Yao’s abdomen.
With a loud "boom," Lei Yao was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, drawn back millions of yards.
Lei Yao spurted a large mouthful of blood. Before he could steady himself, the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon’s attack came again, its mouth opening to release a blast of dragon breath.
The scorching heat rushed towards Lei Yao’s head.
Lei Yao roared angrily, a dense Thunder Element forming a round Thunder Shield before him.
The dragon breath collided with the Thunder Shield, making loud "bang" sounds.
After an instant, the Thunder Shield shattered, and the power of the dragon breath was reduced by ninety percent.
Lei Yao raised his arms to completely block the remaining ten percent of the power.
Smelling the scorched fur, Lei Yao’s Anger Value reached its peak.
The two things Lei Yao cared most about were his crimson-gold fur and the Ruyi Stick, and now both had been ruined by this wretched lizard, making him furious.
Lei Yao let out an unimaginably angry roar, pounding its fists on its chest; it had not felt such rage in a long time.
Lei Yao’s legs exerted force as he dashed towards the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon.
The opponent also showed no fear, flapping its wings to meet Lei Yao.
Lei Yao lifted his fist to strike at the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon.
The opponent likewise extended its dragon claw to meet him.
Lei Yao’s fists struck like lightning at the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon.
"Bang bang bang."
The dense sounds were like firecrackers.
At this moment, the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon could only desperately wave its dragon claw to defend, but Lei Yao’s punch speed was too fast and powerful, and despite its size, it was forced to retreat continuously.
The Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon let out a low growl, and after taking two punches from Lei Yao, twisted its body fiercely, its wings slapping Lei Yao’s side, interrupting Lei Yao’s attack rhythm. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
The wings swiftly pulled away from Lei Yao, and through the previous battle, Yin Haiping knew well that the Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon was no match for Lei Yao in close combat. He had to use his advantages to defeat his opponent.
The Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon let out a low growl, and a blast of dragon breath spewed forth again.
Lei Yao could only release Thunder Blade to block it.
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but smirk; Yin Haiping’s tactic was simple: attrition warfare.
The Scarlet Flame Demon Dragon’s realm was much higher than Lei Yao’s, so its Star Power was naturally more abundant; this tactic wasn’t wrong.
But he overlooked one thing: Lei Yao was a beast with Blood Attributes; as long as there was enough fresh blood, it wouldn’t lack Star Power, plus the aid of the Wind of Recovery.
In short, Yin Haiping was shooting himself in the foot.
Currently, Nirvana was using the undead army to continually deplete the Abyssal Bay Crocodile’s stamina and Star Power.
Even for a First Rank Emperor-level Abyssal Bay Crocodile, it was challenging to handle facing hundreds of thousands of undead.
If this continued, the Abyssal Bay Crocodile would be exhausted to death; the only way to break the impasse was to locate Nirvana and execute a decapitation strategy.
But Nirvana had been placed outside the mansion before Chu Chen entered the Yin Mansion, making it difficult to find Nirvana’s location.
Seeing this, Yin Haiping knitted his brows tightly and waved his hand, causing a golden Soul Seal to appear before him.
He struck the Soul Seal into his brow with a slap.
A golden glimmer flashed through his brow, then gradually retracted, revealing a golden rune shaped like an eye on his brow.
Yin Haiping looked down at the undead army below, noticing they had many gray threads inside them.
Following these threads, he finally fixed his sight outside the walls.
Yin Haiping smirked, "Found you."
Chu Chen frowned, "Earth Rank Upper Grade Soul Skill, ’Tracing Eye,’ didn’t expect you’ve learned quite a variety."
"Hmph, didn’t expect you to know a bit. Since you recognize ’Tracing Eye,’ you must know its potency; your beast is doomed."
As he finished speaking, the Abyssal Bay Crocodile suddenly roared, a dense Water Element swiftly forming a water-blue armor on its body surface.
With explosive power from its limbs, it charged towards Nirvana’s hiding place.
All blocking undead were knocked flying.
