184: A complete upgrade, King-level Beast Tamer

When the slaughter value exceeded 100 million, how could Chen Fei possibly leave it unused?

At this moment, improving his strength was undoubtedly the optimal solution.

However, before upgrading, he still used the Hidden Origin Art to conceal himself and entered the Sacred Codex Space in a corner where no one could see.

Then, he extracted 5.5 million slaughter value onto himself:

[Strength Improvement: Grandmaster Level 8 → King-level 1 Beast Tamer.

Comparative Advantages:

1. A new beast pet slot is unlocked.

2. Spiritual Qi is gathered from a scattered state into a Spirit Pearl located at the Dantian.

This Spirit Pearl is the source of Spiritual Qi, and the Spiritual Qi it can store is more than ten times that of the Grandmaster Level.

Furthermore, it allows for absorbing Spiritual Qi while using it simultaneously, providing an endless supply.

(Similar to the principle of a pool filling and draining at the same time; it's not that easy to empty it.)

3. This massive amount of Spiritual Qi can be used to stand in the air and fly briefly.

However, this flight speed is extremely slow, far inferior to flying Yao Beasts.

Note: Every rank increase for a King-level Beast Tamer requires 5 million slaughter value.

King Rank 9 Beast Master → Emperor Rank 1 Beast Tamer requires 50 million slaughter value.]

King-level!

Finally King-level!

Chen Fei's heart pounded like a drum, and ecstasy surged through his chest, as if it were about to submerge him.

The obsession of two lifetimes was finally achieved at this moment.

Immediately after, Chen Fei took out enough slaughter value and poured it into the Four Beasts.

Little Gu, Chi Yu, Wu Yun, and Lin Ya—all Four Beasts were promoted to fifth-tier 1 at this moment.

Even so, there was still 100 million slaughter value left.

"Ya, get ready. I'm going to help you restore your original Aptitude."

"Roar!"

Lin Ya stood tall. It had thought it would take a long time to restore its original Aptitude, but it hadn't expected to achieve it so quickly.

"Come on, I'm ready!"

Chen Fei didn't waste words and extracted 50 million slaughter value onto Lin Ya.

Most of the red light merged into Lin Ya's body.

A small portion entered the Ancient Void Mine, extracting all the energy from the Ore and then merging it into Lin Ya's body.

The gray Death Qi on Lin Ya's body was instantly cleared, and the ghost fires in its eyes paused.

Then, the ghost fires began to burn fiercely, more intensely than ever before.

After the light shone brilliantly, Lin Ya's evolved form was revealed.

The Beast Bone Mask on Lin Ya's face was carved with a unique and ferocious Ghost Face Pattern, emitting a cold aura that could interfere with the mind and plunge low-tier beings into fear.

The armor on its body didn't become flashier; instead, it became more restrained.

This restraint didn't mean it was weaker than before, but rather that its defensive capabilities were even more formidable.

Unless it was a powerful attack above fifth-tier 5, it would be difficult to break through this armor.

[Hidden Space Skeleton Emperor

Strength: fifth-tier 1

Attributes: Space System, Necromancy System, Dark System, Assassin Class

Aptitude: Nether Immortal

Potential: Expected to advance to Nether God

Skills: ... Improvement Advantages: After the Aptitude is improved, the Void-Concealing Skeleton King can Cultivate Cultivation Techniques.

Affinity for all attributes is comprehensively improved, allowing the use of more high-tier skills.

1. Space Seal

Can briefly Seal visible skill energy in another space and release it when needed.

Proficiency: Entry-Level

Note: Under current strength and proficiency, it can Seal for 2 seconds.

Maximum Seal of fifth-tier 3 skill energy.

2. Space Stagnation

Time and space are originally one, closely connected to each other.

Extreme space can comprehend time, and extreme time can comprehend space.

Within the Alien Space, time does not truly stop, nor can it be truly stopped.

But it will slow down the flow of time within the Alien Space.

Proficiency: Entry-Level

Note: Under current strength and proficiency, time can be slowed by 0.1 times.

The user, the Beast Tamer, and their beast pets are not affected.

3. monarchs sword

The Hidden Space Skeleton Emperor can pull out its own spine from its back to use as a sword.

This sword is incredibly tough, exceeding the hardness of glazed immortal crystal. Even if broken, it can be reassembled.

Moreover, it is permeated with Death Qi; those cut by it will have a large amount of Death Qi remaining at the wound, preventing it from healing in a short time.

Proficiency: Entry-Level

Note: The higher the proficiency, the harder the monarchs sword becomes, and the longer it takes for the enemy's wounds to heal.

It can also be used in conjunction with Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts to improve the attack power and range of the monarchs sword.

4...]

After improving to Nether Immortal, Lin Ya gained an additional Dark System attribute.

The Dark System is standard for the necromancer race, so it wasn't a major Breakthrough.

What was truly stunning was the ability to Cultivate Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, which reminded Chen Fei of the Eight-Armed Heavenly Demon, who also practiced Dual Cultivation of techniques and Martial Arts.

Once Lin Ya practices Martial Arts, it can use ultimate moves from a distance or engage in close combat, allowing for more tactical flexibility.

Besides that, Chen Fei valued the ability of Space Stagnation even more.

Although it was a low-tier version of Time Stop, it undoubtedly possessed absolute suppression at this stage.

Chen Fei raised several of Lin Ya's new skills to Flawless Grade in one go.

The time slowdown factor increased from 0.1 times to 2 times.

This meant that if a skill originally took 1 second to release.

An enemy within the Alien Space would take 2 seconds to complete it.

Don't underestimate that extra second; it could very well be the key to victory or defeat.

Chen Fei also wanted to continue upgrading this skill further.

But the slaughter sacred codex gave a message: [Due to insufficient strength, the physical body cannot yet withstand the energy of a secret technique.

Once secret technique level Space Stagnation is used, the Hidden Space Skeleton Emperor might die from having its energy drained dry.]

Seeing these words, Chen Fei became pensive.

He didn't find it strange; just like using the Ten Directions Ambush Great Array, he had also nearly been drained of Spiritual Qi several times.

This was why the Great Array was currently only at the Mastery Level.

But now, it could finally be upgraded to the Peak Level.

[Ten Directions Ambush Great Array proficiency upgrade: From Mastery Level → Peak Level.

Improvement Advantages:

1. From 72 Earthly Fiend positions → 108 positions.

2. The attack power of any of the 108 positions will increase by 4 times.

3. In addition to physical entities, non-physical attributes such as the Ghost System, Soul, Mental Energy, and elements can be briefly sealed for 20 seconds.

Currently only able to Seal beings below fifth-tier 6.

Note: With the current Formation proficiency and the skills of a fifth-tier beast, it can cause sufficient damage to beings within fifth-tier 6.]

With the Peak Level Ten Directions Ambush Great Array, Chen Fei felt more confident in dealing with this Beast Tide.

Looking at the slaughter value again, there were about 36 million left.

He improved the strength of himself and the Four Beasts once more.

Currently, Chen Fei is a King-level 2 Beast Tamer.

The Four Beasts are fifth-tier 2.

With 11 million slaughter value remaining, Chen Fei didn't plan to use it immediately.

The most important thing now was the Beast Tide; once the Beast Tide was resolved, there would naturally be more slaughter value.

When Chen Fei emerged from the Sacred Codex Space, many changes had occurred in him.

His strength and that of the Four Beasts had improved significantly, which could only be described as earth-shattering.

Just as he was preparing to go all out, he discovered that all the attacking Third-level Beasts had retreated into the Baiyue Mountain Range, not daring to approach even half a step.

What happened?"
