Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 573 - 517: The Shocked Purple Bamboo Demon King
The two gazed at the slowly falling bamboo leaves behind them, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
"Phew, we got lucky. We finally managed to escape the attack range," Su Zixuan exhaled deeply.
"Thanks to the protective star treasure the lord gave me, otherwise, we would have been in big trouble this time," Shi Feng sighed.
"Alas! It seems our plan is ruined. The one who just attacked must be the Purple Bamboo Demon King. From the nature of its attack, its realm should be mid-Emperor level," Su Zixuan said somewhat dispiritedly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng shook his head and said, "There’s still room for maneuver; we can ask the lord for help."
"This... might not be appropriate. The lord might still be in closed-door cultivation. It could be rash for us to disturb him."
"No, I understand the lord’s temperament quite well. I’ll get in touch with him right away."
At that moment, in the cultivation room, Chu Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
After a day’s cultivation, his progress was dreadfully slow.
If he continued at this pace, it would take him at least three months to reach Perfection in the Emperor level.
Just then, Chu Chen’s communication bracelet rang. He quickly clicked to answer. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
A moment later, Chu Chen ended the call, slowly got up, stretched his somewhat stiff joints, and muttered to himself, "It’s time to go look for some Emperor-level purple bamboo shoots." With that, he left the cultivation room.
Walking through the cavern, Chu Chen sent a message to Long Batian and immediately summoned Shadow Kill to fly towards Shi Feng’s location.
Under Chu Chen’s guidance, Shadow Kill utilized its talent for stealth and mimicry.
The surrounding star beasts were all around Monarch level, and Chu Chen didn’t intend to waste time on them; after all, only half a month remained until the one-month deadline.
With the support of the dual talents, the journey was smooth.
The distance that took Shi Feng and company several days, Chu Chen covered in less than half a day.
Chu Chen looked at the two hiding in the cliff and softly asked, "Are you injured?"
Hearing this, the two quickly looked around for the source of the voice, at which point Shadow Kill withdrew its talent and revealed itself.
"Greetings, my lord. We’re not injured," the two said in unison.
Chu Chen nodded and replied, "That’s good."
The two immediately recounted the events in detail.
"A mid-Emperor level, that’s interesting. Let’s go and meet it," Chu Chen said with interest.
The two, without hesitation, jumped on Shadow Kill’s back.
With the buzzing of wings, Shadow Kill disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Shadow Kill’s stealth capabilities were exceptionally powerful; even early-Emperor level star beasts found it difficult to detect.
In about a quarter of an hour, Chu Chen arrived at the place where the two were attacked.
Su Zixuan cautioned gravely, "Be careful, my lord, we’re now within the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s attack range."
Chu Chen nonchalantly waved and said, "No need to worry. Even if we can’t win, escaping isn’t an issue."
As they continued deeper, the purple bamboo demons they encountered were all at the late Emperor level.
After a few breaths, they encountered the first Emperor-level purple bamboo demon, judging from its aura, it had just recently broken through to the Emperor level.
This opponent was just right for Su Zixuan to use as a whetstone.
But now was not the time to act; otherwise, the Purple Bamboo Demon King would definitely intervene.
A minute later, Chu Chen finally saw the Purple Bamboo Demon King.
Its base was ten times the diameter, and its height reached an astounding 150 times—a bamboo thicker than any Chu Chen had ever seen.
Chu Chen dared not act recklessly and quickly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to inspect the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s information.

Chu Chen looked at the information about the Purple Bamboo Demon King, revealing a bit of astonishment; the opponent’s level was Emperor Level Sixth Rank, unexpected that such a powerful star beast was hidden in a mere purple bamboo grove.
At that moment, an angry roar exploded in Chu Chen’s mind.
"Who dares, come out at once."
Hearing this, Chu Chen no longer concealed himself and straightforwardly stepped in front of the Purple Bamboo Demon King.
"Humans, how dare you. I let you escape last time by a fluke, and you dare come back? You’re simply courting death."
As the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s voice fell, hundreds of bamboo leaves fell off its body, transforming into blades under its star power and shooting towards Chu Chen and the others.
Seeing this, Chu Chen chuckled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the Soul Suppressing Master appeared before him.
The Soul Suppressing Master, seeing the incoming attack, dared not neglect and immediately conjured an earth shield to block the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s attack.
The Purple Bamboo Demon King exclaimed in shock, "No, this is impossible. How could someone at the Soul Emperor level control a mid-Emperor level guardian beast?"
"Nothing is impossible. It’s understandable you’re ignorant hiding in this valley. Considering you haven’t harmed humans, I might spare your life," Chu Chen said calmly.
"Hmph! Arrogant words. This is my territory. Today, you’ll all die here."
With the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s words, a "rustling" surrounded them.
Within a few breaths, Chu Chen and the others were surrounded by eight Emperor-level purple bamboo demons.
Seeing this, Chu Chen’s expression didn’t change; he had already noticed these Emperor-level purple bamboo demons on the way here.
Though there were as many as eight Emperor-level purple bamboo demons, their level was at early-Emperor level, easily manageable by Lei Yao and the other beasts.
The Purple Bamboo Demon King, seeing Chu Chen’s calm face, was surprised and said, "Aren’t you afraid?"
"Why should I fear? You don’t think they can capture me, do you?"
"Hmph! I think you’re just pretending to be calm."
Chu Chen had no intention of explaining, and with a wave of his hand, summoned Lei Yao and the other beasts.
The Purple Bamboo Demon King, not daring to underestimate, quickly sensed the aura of Lei Yao and the others.
After a moment, it breathed a sigh of relief, "Kid, you were bluffing. If that’s your trump card, then today you’ll stay here."
"Is that so? It seems you have a path to your downfall. Show all your cards."
As Chu Chen’s words fell, the aura of Lei Yao and the other beasts began to surge wildly.
The Purple Bamboo Demon King, sensing the change in their aura, was filled with disbelief.
"This... this can’t be. You must have used some trick."
