Chapter 239 Failed Attempt to Impact the Meteorite! A Sinkhole Appears Behind the Su Family's Mountain?

Inside the Beast Taming Space.

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense projection floated in mid-air.

His eyes were fixed intently on the Nine-Tailed Fox in the sky.

His heart rate

accelerated with every surge of the Nine-Tailed Fox's aura.

Falling Star Rank... that was truly the Realm of transcending the mundane and entering the sacred!

It was vastly different from the Brick Stone Rank.

The contract between the spirit beast and the Beast Tamer would undergo a subtle qualitative change.

A Falling Star Rank Beast Tamer.

Such a powerhouse.

would be considered a prominent figure in the entire provincial capital!

If the Nine-Tailed Fox could really break through.

then he, as her Beast Tamer... could experience the feeling of soaring to the heavens in a single step!

And in mid-air.

the Nine-Tailed Fox herself.

also had waves of emotion surging in her heart!

She also hadn't expected.

that the Law power contained within this five-colored origin divine seed would be terrifying to such an extent!

Originally, she thought.

that fusing with the divine seed and breaking through to the Diamond Rank.

would already be the limit.

At most, she could reach the third or fourth stage of the Diamond Rank.

and that would be quite good.

But the reality was... she went directly from the Peak of the ninth stage of the Amethyst Rank.

to the Peak of the ninth stage of the Diamond Rank!

A leap of an entire major Realm!

Moreover.

she wasn't just entering the Diamond Rank; she was at the Diamond Rank Peak!

She was only one step away from the next major Realm, the Falling Star Rank!

Just a final push!

"This divine seed... what exactly is its Origin?"

"An Origin Heavenly Treasure?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox was shocked.

"The Law power it contains is actually so vast and boundless..."

"And, it seems... there's still a bit left?"

She carefully sensed inside her body.

Her Law Secret Realm had already expanded to its limit.

The Five Elements Laws were circulating and operating stably.

But that most fundamental Law power brought by the divine seed seemed to still have... a final trace remaining?

This trace of power wasn't much.

It could even be described as weak.

But it was this weak trace.

that made a crazy thought rise in her heart.

"Try it?"

"Maybe... I can break through?"

"If I succeed, I'll have even greater security in the human world!"

Once this thought arose.

she could no longer suppress it!

The Falling Star Rank!

If she could take this opportunity to break through... her strength would undergo a qualitative leap!

Her lifespan.

would be significantly extended!

The possibility of success for that future plan of hers.

would greatly increase!

More importantly.

if she were at the Falling Star Rank now, then after the beast taming contract was dissolved, would that fellow Jiang Yun... dare to show her the slightest disrespect?

Would he dare call her Mother Fox?

Wouldn't he have to kneel and call her Lord Fox Empress?

Kneel and beg for protection?

For some reason.

thinking about this made it even more interesting to her!

"Let's try!"

In the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes.

five-colored light swirled frantically!

Boom!!!

The Five Elements Laws vortex that had originally begun to subside.

at this moment.

became violent once again!

More violent than before! More intense!

Seeing this, Jiang Yun's heart suddenly twitched!

"It's starting!"

"She's really... going to charge for the Falling Star Rank!"

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense projection.

subconsciously clenched his fists.

Nervous!

Expectant!

And a hint of... fear!

Fear of what?

Fear that if the Nine-Tailed Fox really broke through, would she still abide by the contract?

Wouldn't she turn around and suppress him instead?

A Falling Star Rank Nine-Tailed Fox.

would she still care about the threat of a Gold Rank human?

But soon.

Jiang Yun suppressed this thought.

Now was not the time to think about such things.

Right now.

he only hoped the Nine-Tailed Fox would succeed!

Because.

the stronger the Nine-Tailed Fox became.

the stronger the feedback he, the Beast Tamer, would receive!

Even if the contract was dissolved.

the physical strength improvements he had already gained might not disappear!

"Break through!"

Jiang Yun shouted in his heart.

"You must break through!"

In mid-air.

the Nine-Tailed Fox had already entered the final sprint state!

The Breakthrough shackles of the Falling Star Rank are a further test of Law comprehension and application, and even more so, a second opening of the Law Secret Realm.

One needs to use the limit of their own Law power to shatter the barrier shackles of the Law Secret Realm and expand it.

Thus reaching the Falling Star Rank.

Every spirit beast's Law Secret Realm is different.

Therefore, the Breakthrough methods will certainly differ.

Jiang Yun was very curious.

how would the Nine-Tailed Fox break through this Falling Star Rank obstacle?

He saw the Nine-Tailed Fox make a move.

She was actually compressing her five-colored Laws!

"Buzz!!!"

The Law Secret Realm inside her body began to vibrate violently!

The Secret Realm space that had already expanded to its limit.

began... to compress inward!

It wasn't getting smaller.

but rather, it was compressing the power of the Five Elements Laws.

making it more solid and pure!

From a gaseous state to a liquid state!

From a liquid state to a solid state!

This process was extremely dangerous!

Because once Law power is over-compressed.

it could trigger... a Law collapse!

When that happens, the Secret Realm would explode, cultivation would be completely lost, and one might even perish directly!

But the Nine-Tailed Fox did not hesitate!

She controlled that remaining trace of the divine seed's Origin power, guiding the Five Elements Laws and compressing them carefully!

One percent!

Five percent!

Ten percent!

The compression progress advanced slowly but steadily!

Then.

Law Fusion!

When the Five Elements Laws were compressed to a certain critical point.

"Fuse!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox gave a low shout!

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the five originally distinct Law powers—began... to fuse with each other!

It wasn't a simple overlapping.

but an essential Fusion!

Water within Gold, Wood born from Water, Fire contained in Wood, Earth hidden in Fire, and Gold gestated in Earth!

The Five Elements generated each other in an endless cycle!

This process was even more dangerous than compression!

Because the Fusion of five Laws.

required absolute balance!

Even the slightest error.

would trigger a Law conflict and an instant explosion!

Twenty percent!

Thirty percent!

Fifty percent!

The Fusion progress advanced to a critical node!

At this moment.

something appeared in her mental state!!!

A Realm barrier!

"Boom!!!"

At the very instant the Five Elements Laws Fusion passed the halfway mark!

In the Nine-Tailed Fox's perception.

an... invisible barrier slowly emerged!

This barrier lay across her path!

Heavy! Solid! Unshakeable!

This was.

the Realm barrier from the Diamond Rank to the Falling Star Rank!

It was a threshold for breaking through to the Falling Star Rank!

Break it, and she could step into the Falling Star Rank and become a truly powerful existence!

If she couldn't break it.

she could only stay in the Diamond Rank forever.

Even if you are at the Diamond Rank Peak.

you are only at the extreme of the mundane, not the sacred!

"Break—for me!!!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly snapped her eyes open!

Within those five-colored pupils.

an unprecedented light erupted!

Behind her.

nine tails danced frantically!

Five wheels of divine light spun like the wind!

Inside her body.

all the compressed and fused Five Elements Law powers erupted at once!

Turning into a five-colored torrent!

Like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth!

It slashed fiercely toward that invisible Realm barrier!

Boom!!!!

An earth-shattering roar!

It wasn't a physical sound.

but a roar on the level of Laws!

The entire Beast Taming Space.

shook violently under this strike!

The lake below kicked up monstrous waves!

The trees in the forest swayed frantically!

Little Fire and Little Skylark were knocked askew by the shockwave, but they still held their ground firmly, desperately comprehending the true meaning of the Laws dissipating in these final moments!

And Jiang Yun.

his Divine Sense projection.

was directly shaken into a blur for an instant!

But he couldn't care about that.

His eyes were fixed intently on the Nine-Tailed Fox!

Did she succeed?

Or... in the next second.

the Nine-Tailed Fox's body.

suddenly trembled!

"Pfft!!!"

A mouthful of blood!

sprayed from her mouth!

The blood turned into a five-colored mist in the air.

and slowly dissipated.

And that violent aura on her body.

was like a deflated ball, beginning to rapidly diminish!

She failed!

That Realm barrier.

had a deep crack appear on it!

But... it didn't shatter!

It still stood there.

blocking the Nine-Tailed Fox's path!

"Just... a little bit more..."

The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at the crack on the barrier.

her eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Just... one final trace of power..."

She could feel.

that if that strike just now.

had been just a tiny bit stronger... even just a tiny bit!

that barrier would have shattered!

She would have been able to step through!

But that tiny bit... she didn't have!

The remaining Origin power of the divine seed was already exhausted!

Her own spiritual power was also drained!

She was spent!

"Whew... whew..."

The Nine-Tailed Fox floated in mid-air, gasping for breath.

Her face was pale, and her aura was withered.

Those originally brilliant five-colored pupils.

were now much dimmer.

She looked at the slowly fading Realm barrier.

her heart filled with disappointment.

"It seems... crossing a major Realm really can't rely on brute force alone."

"It needs an opportunity... it needs insight... it needs the right time, the right place, and the right people..."

"Just having enough power is not enough."

She slowly shook her head.

giving up the thought of continuing the charge.

What she needed now was... recovery.

Buzz!!!

The Nine-Tailed Fox sat down cross-legged again.

She no longer charged at the Realm.

but instead began to absorb the dense Spiritual Qi within the Beast Taming Space.

At the same time.

With a thought, she took out several precious Heaven And Earth Treasures from her storage ring; these were treasures she had collected over many years and had been reluctant to use, but now she couldn't care less.

She swallowed several spiritual flowers and objects that emitted a dense medicinal fragrance.

She held several crystal stones containing pure attributes in her hands to absorb them.

Her aura began to slowly recover.

In the distance.

Jiang Yun watched this scene.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Failed..."

"Just a tiny bit short..."

He could understand the Nine-Tailed Fox's unwillingness.

Because even he, as a bystander, felt regret!

Falling Star Rank!

If the Nine-Tailed Fox had truly ascended.

Then what kind of feedback would he, as her Beast Tamer, receive?

What kind of experience would the Falling Star Rank be?

But now, everything had vanished like bubbles.

Everything had become a pipe dream.

"However... Diamond Rank ninth stage Peak is already quite terrifying."

Jiang Yun comforted himself.

"In the entire provincial capital, how many Diamond Rank Peak existences can there be?"

"Moreover, she also possesses that freakish skill, the Five Elements Domain..."

"Her true combat power is probably already comparable to a powerhouse who has just entered the Falling Star Rank."

"In the provincial capital, as long as she doesn't run into those old monsters, self-preservation shouldn't be a problem."

Thinking of this.

Jiang Yun's mood improved significantly.

He looked down.

Little Fire and Little Skylark.

At this moment, they were still immersed in a state of comprehension.

Both spirit beasts emitted faint Law fluctuations from their bodies, appearing to have gained something.

"These two little fellows... have actually found a blessing in disguise."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

Finally.

He glanced once more at the recovering Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Once she's fully recovered, it'll be time to discuss... the matter of dissolving the contract, right?"

This thought flashed through Jiang Yun's mind.

But he quickly suppressed it.

It was still too early to think about such things.

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense phantom slowly dissipated.

He exited the Beast Taming Space.

In the real world, the master bedroom of Yunqi Courtyard.

Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the window.

The sky had completely darkened.

The moon hung high, and the stars were sparse.

"It's already... the early hours of the morning?"

Jiang Yun looked at the sky outside and was slightly stunned:

"I stayed in the Beast Taming Space for so long?"

From daytime until the early morning.

From the Nine-Tailed Fox's Fusion to her Breakthrough, and then her failed attempt to charge into the Falling Star Rank, the entire process in the Beast Taming Space had lasted... fifteen or sixteen hours!

"No wonder her consumption was so great..."

Jiang Yun realized.

He stood up and walked to the window.

He looked out at the quiet Su Family compound.

His heart was filled with emotion.

"The world is truly unpredictable..."

"I originally just wanted to go out and gather information, but I ended up encountering Su Mingxuan's provocation, then Mother Fox's plea for help, and then signing the contract, Fusion, and Breakthrough..."

"Too many things happened in this one night."

He calculated the time.

In another seven or eight hours, it would be dawn.

After dawn.

He would have to go with the other disciples of the Su Family.

To report to Sky Dome Academy.

"It seems I won't be able to go to Liufeng District."

Jiang Yun shook his head.

"Those two evolution Materials, and the matter of the Formation Beast Tamer... can only be put aside for now, until there's an opportunity later."

However, he wasn't in a hurry.

As the highest institution in the provincial capital, Sky Dome Academy surely had far more resources, connections, and opportunities than the outside world.

When the time came.

It wouldn't be too late to find a way to get the evolution Materials.

"Moreover..."

Jiang Yun felt the surging Beast Taming Power within his body.

He felt that vast sea of Divine Sense in his mind.

"I am now a Diamond Rank Beast Tamer... it seems I can no longer feel fatigue?"

After a Beast Tamer reaches Diamond Rank.

The Physical Body undergoes a qualitative change, and the Divine Soul's power increases significantly.

Sleep, a form of rest only needed by Mortals.

For a Diamond Rank Beast Tamer.

It was no longer a necessity.

Normally speaking.

After stepping into the Amethyst Rank and opening the sea of Divine Sense, one is no longer considered a Mortal.

They can even recover their Beast Taming Power and Divine Sense Soul Power through meditation and absorbing Spiritual Qi.

"Just as well."

Jiang Yun sat down cross-legged again.

"I'll use this time to properly adapt and experience... this powerful Divine Sense."

"If the contract is dissolved later and I revert to a Gold Rank Beast Tamer, not only will this Soul Power be cleared, but even the sea of Divine Sense might close again."

Although Jiang Yun guessed.

The strength already obtained would not disappear.

But what if?

What if after dissolving the contract, the improvements brought by the contract's feedback were truly taken back?

So, while he could still experience it, he had to do so quickly!

Jiang Yun closed his eyes.

His Divine Sense swept out like a wave, rapidly spreading.

A range of a hundred miles!

Half of Qingmu District!

Everything was within his perception!

This feeling... was too wonderful!

It was like a god looking down upon the Mortal world!

No, it was even more miraculous than that!

Because a god still needs to look, but Jiang Yun didn't!

He only needed to think!

Wherever he wanted to see.

His Divine Sense could instantly lock onto it!

Moreover.

It wasn't a vague perception.

It was 8K ultra-high-definition clarity!

He could see two streets away.

In an inn, a waiter was secretly counting the tips he had received today.

He could see even further.

In the study of a manor.

A middle-aged scholar was staying up late to correct official documents.

He could even see a place of bright lights and wine.

Where a man and a woman were... uh... Jiang Yun immediately shifted his Divine Sense probe away.

He saw the edge of Qingmu District.

The surface of the moat was shimmering under the moonlight.

Furthermore.

He could even directly activate his Innate Talent Skill!

With a thought.

A pale blue light screen unfolded beside the target of his perception!

【species】: Human

【Realm】: Bronze Rank third stage

【Talent】: None

【Status】: Slacking off

...【species】: Scarlet Flame Dog (fire attribute)

【Realm】: Silver Rank fifth stage

【Aptitude】: Gold Rank

【Innate Talent Skill】: Flame Claw · Common Grade

..."This... this is too overbearing!"

Waves of shock surged in Jiang Yun's heart!

If he went to a Secret Realm for exploration or into the wild for treasure hunting... wouldn't he be able to instantly lock onto all treasures?

Identifying components and judging value, all in one go!

Even if someone wanted to ambush him, he could perceive it in advance!

It was simply impossible to guard against!

"No wonder they say... Beast Tamers below the Amethyst Rank are all ants."

Jiang Yun murmured to himself.

"Just this Divine Sense locking ability alone is far beyond what any Beast Tamer below the Gold Rank can compare to."

Beast Tamers below Gold Rank have perception abilities, but the range is small and the precision is low; they can only vaguely sense auras and cannot lock on precisely.

But after Amethyst Rank.

The sea of Divine Sense is opened, Soul Power skyrockets, the coverage of Divine Sense increases significantly, and the precision also improves greatly.

By the Diamond Rank... it's a qualitative change!

"This simply... isn't on the same level!"

Jiang Yun's heart was filled with shock.

He was like a child who had received a new toy.

Having a great time playing with it.

His Divine Sense wandered all over Qingmu District.

Watching the night market on the East Street gradually close down.

Watching the gambling dens in the West Alley still bustling.

Watching the quiet residential area in the South City.

Watching the scattered lights still on in the commercial street of the North District.

He even tried.

Concentrating his Divine Sense onto a single point.

Whoosh!

In that inn.

The copper coins in the waiter's hand.

The patterns on every single coin were clearly visible!

"Too strong..."

Jiang Yun was immersed in the power of his Divine Sense.

He almost forgot the time.

But just then.

His Divine Sense suddenly paused.

It stopped at a... special place.

The Su Family's Back Mountain!

There.

Was a giant... sinkhole?!

Jiang Yun's brow slowly furrowed.

"Hmm?"

He controlled his Divine Sense to carefully observe that sinkhole.

The sinkhole was located deep within the Su Family's Back Mountain.

Its diameter was at least a hundred zhang, and it was bottomless.

The walls of the pit were steep, with fresh soil overturned.

It seemed as if it had just formed.

And the bottom of the pit was pitch black.

Even his Divine Sense couldn't easily penetrate it.

What concerned Jiang Yun the most was.

That aura!

An extremely faint, yet definitely present... familiar aura!

"This is..."

Jiang Yun sensed carefully.

"Why is this aura... somewhat similar to Little Fire's aura?"

Jiang Yun continued to probe.

Wanting to see what was going on.

But he simply couldn't see directly through this cave.

He only felt.

That this aura seemed to be... suppressed by something?

A Seal?

A Formation?

Or... something else?

"What exactly is it?"

The doubt in Jiang Yun's heart grew heavier and heavier.

"How could there be such a thing in the Su Family's Back Mountain?"

"A giant sinkhole..."

"A suppressed mysterious aura..."

"What... is hidden down there?"

Whoosh!!!

Jiang Yun no longer hesitated!

His Divine Sense.

Converged into a single point.

Like a spiritual snake.

Towards the depths of the sinkhole.

It rapidly probed downward!

Directly entering beneath the sinkhole.
