Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 544 - 488: Forging the Divine Treasure

At this moment, Lei Yao and Nirvana were fully absorbing the energy within their bodies, undergoing a transformation, and the Divine Treasure had to be forged immediately after the transformation.

Therefore, the entire transformation process must not be disturbed.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Tianlong shouted in a deep voice, "Whole army on alert, do not let the Star Beasts disturb them."

The Abyssal Demon Dragon stared fixedly at the two beasts, its gaze hesitating. Now was the best time to strike; if this opportunity was missed, dealing with them in the future would be exceedingly difficult.

After a moment of contemplation, the Abyssal Demon Dragon finally made up its mind. It let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and hundreds of Emperor-level Star Beasts rushed towards Lei Yao and Nirvana immediately.

The onlookers hesitated not a moment, directly commanding their Guardian Beasts to fight the numerous Star Beasts.

Zhang Tianlong stared coldly at the Abyssal Demon Dragon and shouted, "Since you refuse to leave, then stay here."

"Hmph! Such big talk, I’m eager to see how capable you really are." With that, it charged towards Zhang Tianlong first.

The Gale Battle Dragon took the initiative to face it without waiting for Zhang Tianlong’s command.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon was slightly stronger than the Gale Battle Dragon, but with Zhang Tianlong’s support, their strengths were evenly matched, and neither could overpower the other.

However, the overall strength of the Star Beasts was far superior to the Cyan Dragon Army. As soon as the two sides engaged, the Cyan Dragon Army was at a disadvantage.

If there were no other support, in less than a short while, the Cyan Dragon Army would be defeated.

Lei Yao and Nirvana were still in the midst of transformation, the duration of which depended on the potential of the Guardian Beasts and the power of the Emperor Tribulation.

The stronger the Emperor Tribulation, the more benefits the Guardian Beasts would reap, naturally prolonging the transformation time.

The Emperor Tribulations endured by Lei Yao and Nirvana meant their transformation would take at least about an hour.

After a brief intense battle, the Cyan Dragon Army began to sustain injuries.

Zhang Tianlong’s expression remained unchanged as he turned to look towards the direction of the military camp, a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

As the commander of the Cyan Dragon Army, he had been leading battles for decades; he chose this location for Lei Yao and Nirvana to undergo their Emperor Tribulation with purpose.

First, the place was rather concealed, making it difficult for the Star Beasts to notice.

Second, it was extremely far from the Star Beasts’ main base, making large-scale star beast operations unlikely even in extraordinary situations.

Third, the distance to the camp was not far, allowing him to summon the troops for support anytime.

Fourth, he selected this site to use Lei Yao and Nirvana as bait; if the Star Beasts didn’t take the bait, it would be fine, but if they did, it ensured the destruction of most of the disrupting Star Beasts.

Just then, the sound of battle cries arose, as dense Cyan Dragon Army charged towards the battlefield with unstoppable momentum.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon’s expression abruptly changed when it heard the sounds, and after forcing back the Gale Battle Dragon, it immediately looked towards where the sounds came from.

Upon seeing hundreds of thousands of Cyan Dragon Army, it realized it had been tricked.

"Damn it, Zhang Tianlong, how dare you trick me," the Abyssal Demon Dragon roared.

Zhang Tianlong coldly replied, "It’s not me tricking you, but you walking into the trap. Surrender now and I may spare your life."

"Hmph! Utterly ridiculous, if you dare to kill me, you will certainly provoke war, involving all Emperor-level of our Star Beast race, and your Human Race will face calamity, can you bear the consequences?"

Zhang Tianlong’s face darkened immediately upon hearing this, though unpleasant, it was the truth.

"Hmph! I may not be able to kill you, but I can severely injure you, destroying your foundation, leaving you forever at the Early-Stage First Rank, and your subordinates will be completely annihilated," Zhang Tianlong coldly replied.

Absurdly angered, yet powerless to change anything, the Abyssal Demon Dragon realized that continuing the fight would not end well.

After a moment of consideration, it shouted to its still fighting subordinates, "Retreat!" With that, it twisted its body and fled into the distance.

Watching the fleeing Abyssal Demon Dragon, Zhang Tianlong did not attempt to stop it, instead directing the Gale Battle Dragon to block other escaping Star Beasts.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Roars resounded through the heavens, filled with endless resentment, their glares at the Abyssal Demon Dragon turning almost tangible with hatred.

Some clever Star Beasts did not choose to break through with the Abyssal Demon Dragon but instead broke through from other positions.

The Cyan Dragon Army had just arrived, their formation not yet established, allowing a few dozen Emperor-level Star Beasts to break through momentarily.

The expression on Zhang Tianlong’s face remained calm, clearly having expected all of this.

The battle concluded shortly with minor losses on the Cyan Dragon Army’s side, while the Star Beasts lost the majority.

Over fifty Emperor-level Star Beasts were killed; this battle’s results surpassed those of the past year.

Emperor-level Star Beasts are not as common as cabbages; each loss is significant for the Star Beasts.

Having lost so many Emperor-level Star Beasts, it would be challenging for the Star Beasts to initiate large-scale battles in the foreseeable future.

The pressure on the Cyan Dragon Army was greatly reduced, lifting everyone’s spirits.

However, they dare not relax their vigilance, as Lei Yao and Nirvana had yet to complete their transformation.

At this moment, the two beasts lay on the ground, fully focused on refining the energy within them.

As time passed, their bodies gradually expanded, and their auras climbed steadily.

They resembled ancient beasts on the verge of awakening.

Minute by minute, Nirvana completed its transformation first, slowly opening its eyes, and an overwhelming aura burst forth from within.

Emperor-level Peak, Early-Stage First Rank... until reaching the Peak of the First Rank, it finally stopped.

Nirvana’s body directly grew more than double its size, its shoulder height surging from twelve zhang to twenty-four zhang, and its body length from thirty-two zhang to sixty-four zhang.

Nirvana, feeling its transformation, raised its head and emitted a joyful screech.

After venting for a moment, Nirvana returned from its joy, for now was the most crucial time to forge the Divine Treasure.

However, it needed to choose a part of its body first to serve as the container for the Divine Treasure.

After some consideration, it decided to forge its strongest pincers into the Divine Treasure.

Having made its decision, Nirvana channeled all its Star Power into the pincers, followed by the Elemental Power of Wood Element, Earth Element, and Undead Element, finally fusing its Domain Power within.

Soon, the pincers emitted a tri-color glow of blue, yellow, and white, and a "crack" sound came from within as if about to break.

However, it was merely an illusion; the interior of the pincers had developed a space filled with the energies of Wood, Earth, and Undead.

The space expanded rapidly from one zhang, reaching a thousand zhang in just a few breaths.

At this point, Nirvana had exhausted its internal energy, fixing the Divine Treasure’s internal space temporarily at a thousand zhang. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The use of "temporary" is because, as Nirvana’s power increases, the space within the Divine Treasure will also expand, and its power will similarly continue to grow.
