146: The realm after King-level Beast Tamer
Plans?
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King shook its head mechanically, "I have no other plans, but my master has already instructed me to follow the next owner of the slaughter sacred codex, which is you!"
Chen Fei's heart trembled violently.
It was surprise!
It was excitement!
It was unexpected!
"I... I... I didn't hear that wrong, did I... A Space System owner wants to follow me!"
Chen Fei was so excited that he started to stutter.
He had imagined many times what his fourth beast would look like, but he had never thought of the Void-Concealing Skeleton King.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare to.
Chen Fei didn't think he had enough charm to conquer the Void-Concealing Skeleton King.
Unexpectedly, the Void-Concealing Skeleton King let out a sound of disdain: "Just following you, I didn't say I'd form a contract with you. Don't be so conceited."
Chen Fei was greatly embarrassed!
So he had gotten excited too early?
Shaking his head, Chen Fei cheered himself up:
No, it wasn't exactly getting excited too early.
At least the Void-Concealing Skeleton King was willing to follow him first; others didn't even have this chance.
Just like with Wu Yun, he had to find the right opportunity and apply the right remedy.
Even if there was only a 1% possibility, he had to fight for it.
The existence of a Space System would not only fill a gap in his team's attributes but also significantly enhance their combat power.
Before, Chen Fei hadn't dared to think about it, but now that he had this chance, he would fight for it no matter what.
"Everyone, come in!" Chen Fei waved to Ximen Lingyun and the others.
After everyone entered, they were somewhat astonished:
"Strange, this Bone Temple doesn't look that big, so why is the space inside so vast?"
"Exactly, ninety-eight of us came in, and we only take up one corner."
Hearing them, Chen Fei explained, "Because the space here has been expanded."
Space expanded?
That would definitely require a Space System attribute to achieve.
Everyone exclaimed, "Wait, could it be this skeleton big brother?"
Chen Fei nodded, "That's right, he is indeed a Space System owner, a Level 4 Rank 6 existence."
"As long as it's not a Demon King-level existence coming in, he can block it."
"That's why I said we are safe inside the Bone Temple."
Indeed!
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King only needed to layer several spaces onto the Bone Temple, and ordinary Evil Beasts wouldn't be able to get in.
They would either have to use Soul penetration or methods like the Shadow System, special techniques, or incorporeal forms.
Those with physical bodies couldn't enter at all, period.
As for Souls, with Chi Yu and the Sky-Swallowing Toad there, the Evil Beasts wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
This Bone Temple had now become a natural fortress.
"Hiss~"
Thinking of this, gasps of cold air could be heard everywhere.
Even Ximen Lingyun, Ji Chenfeng, and the others were no exception.
"The invincible Space System, an existence one only dreams of possessing."
"I want one too, I just don't know if I'll have the luck."
"It's too rare. One might not appear in tens of thousands of years. Besides, they won't become anyone's beast. Once they grow up, they can just tear through space and leave; why would they need a Beast Tamer to nurture them?"
"True..."
Amidst the surprise, many people slumped down. After fleeing for a whole day, they could finally catch their breath.
Chen Fei stopped paying attention to them and instead held his head, considering how to win over the Void-Concealing Skeleton King.
Food?
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King didn't seem to need food much.
Heaven And Earth Treasures?
Difficult! The Void-Concealing Skeleton King had once followed the Shadow Great Emperor; what good things hadn't he seen?
An avenger like Wu Yun?
That could work!
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King undoubtedly wanted to avenge the Shadow Great Emperor as well.
At this rate, would he have to start an Avengers Alliance?
After thinking it over, this seemed the most viable option.
No sooner said than done. Chen Fei went to the Void-Concealing Skeleton King's side and whispered, "Your target for revenge is Great Emperor Xuanyue, but with your current cultivation, Aptitude, and overall regression, how difficult will it be to catch up to Great Emperor Xuanyue?"
"Besides, you know the situation of the Spirit Taming Continent; even a Breakthrough beyond Demon King is so difficult."
"By the time you can leave this continent, who knows how long it will have been."
"But don't forget, while you are progressing, Great Emperor Xuanyue is also progressing, and her progress is even more rapid than yours."
"So, form a contract with me!"
"You know the use of the slaughter sacred codex. With enough slaughter value, it can be upgraded infinitely."
"This is currently your only way to quickly catch up to Great Emperor Xuanyue, bar none!"
Chen Fei appealed to emotion and reason, nearly talking his mouth dry.
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King fell into silence for a moment.
It admitted that what Chen Fei said wasn't without merit.
During its time in the Fierce Land, it had also tried to improve itself, but the Spiritual Qi here was scarce, progress was slow, and there were no corresponding Space System treasures.
As a result, after so long, it had only jumped from a Third-level Beast to Level 4 Rank 6.
At this rate, it wouldn't be able to reach Level 5 High Rank for several years, let alone tear through space and leave.
The slaughter sacred codex was indeed the best way to improve on this Spiritual Qi-deprived continent.
"Hehe... Hahaha..."
Chen Fei felt a bit uneasy at the Void-Concealing Skeleton King's sudden wild laughter.
"Forming a contract with you will let me catch up to Great Emperor Xuanyue? Do you know what her cultivation is? Do you know what level of cultivation the Emperor-Grade is?"
Chen Fei slowly shook his head!
He indeed didn't know, but it was also what he wanted to know.
Hearing the Void-Concealing Skeleton King's words, Ximen Lingyun and the others also looked over. Emperor-Grade cultivation, what level was that?
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King saw the desire for discovery in their eyes.
"You all want to know?"
Everyone nodded in unison!
They were all chosen ones, naturally yearning for Ascension and higher Realms.
The corner of the Void-Concealing Skeleton King's mouth cracked slightly. It was a skeleton; this level of a smile was already its maximum.
However, to others, such a smile appeared arrogant and intimidating.
"Above King-level Beast Tamers, there are Imperial-Grade, Saint-Grade, then Emperor-Grade, and finally Divine-Grade."
"A Saint-Grade Beast Tamer corresponds to a Level Seven Beast, capable of splitting mountains and severing seas."
"An Emperor-Grade Beast Tamer corresponds to a Level 8 Beast, capable of roaming the heavens and earth and destroying stars."
"As for the strongest King-level Beast Tamer on your continent, on other continents, they are nothing more than a gatekeeper."
Whether it was Chen Fei, Ximen Lingyun, Jiang Yiyi, or Shen Lin and Tang Jian, everyone's breath hitched.
It was the first time they had heard of such Realm divisions.
To think there were so many Realms above the King-level.
Because of this, their perception suffered the greatest shock in history.
Their elders had always told them that King-level Beast Tamers were the strongest.
Now someone... some beast was telling them that the King-level was just a watchdog.
How could they accept this!
The Void-Concealing Skeleton King watched them quietly without interfering further.
It was intentional!
It wanted to see if, under such a shock, these people could still remain firm in their Dao Heart.
But it cared even more about Chen Fei!
If Chen Fei couldn't even pass this test, then how could he hope to form a contract with it?
It would be nothing but a dream.
Only someone with a powerful Dao Heart, someone who wanted to step towards the final Realm, would be worthy of it...
