Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1497 - 422: Azure Invitation, Breaking Through Tier 8! (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 29) (Part 6)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Lin Su’s expression shifted subtly.
The sheer magnitude of this power was overwhelming, far exceeding his initial calculations.
Without uttering a single word, Lin Su recalled all five of his small companions into the Beast Taming Space. He then sat cross-legged at the cliff’s edge, sinking into a deep meditative state under Cai Zun's vigilant protection.
A powerful force of attraction suddenly surged from the center of Lin Su’s forehead.
This intense pull signaled a bottomless hunger for supernatural energy.
Cai Zun’s face flickered with surprise, and in an instant, its wings began to vibrate with violent intensity.
Driven by this force, the vast supernatural energies throughout the Spirit Mist Secret Realm began to rush toward Lin Su in a massive tide.
This turbulent energy whipped up fresh waves across the entire Spirit Mist Secret Realm!
Inside Lin Su’s Beast Taming Space, the situation was just as chaotic.
Fueled by an seemingly infinite influx of power, the Beast Taming Space began a steady, outward expansion amidst heavy tremors!
The growth reached a critical limit, causing the purple-black outer walls of the space to shake uncontrollably.
"Crack!"
A sharp, distinct sound echoed from the outer boundary of the Beast Taming Space.
A second snap followed, then a third!
The entire outer shell of the Beast Taming Space began to peel away like a shattered eggshell, uncovering a pristine, deep black wall beneath.
As the old layer fell away, the Beast Taming Space continued its outward stretch. Freed from its previous limitations, the speed of expansion did not falter; instead, it accelerated rapidly.
The seventh-tier Beast Taming Space was evolving into the eighth-tier!
In the past, each tier advancement of the Beast Taming Space would only boost the growth potential of the contracted beasts or add new contract slots.
This time, however, both traits were being upgraded at once!
Achieving a breakthrough in two dimensions simultaneously meant the difficulty level was worlds apart from a standard advancement.
This was precisely why so many cultivators remain trapped at the supreme Beast Tamer rank for their entire lives, never managing to cross into the epic level!
Even though he had experienced a breakthrough in a previous life cycle, Lin Su’s heart still raced as he felt the violent transformations within his Beast Taming Space.
Almost there... just a little further!
He roared silently within his mind.
Echoing his internal shout, the five small creatures within the Beast Taming Space felt their own shackles beginning to crumble!
Finally, at a pivotal moment, the last fragment of the purple-black wall shattered and dissolved, serving as fuel for the space's growth. A sensation of absolute liberation instantly washed over the five small creatures.
The eighth-tier Beast Taming Space had successfully broken through!
Having been suppressed for so long, the five small ones took advantage of the feedback from the space's breakthrough and made a collective decision.
Breakthrough to the Emperor-tier!
The Light of Advancement surged toward the heavens within the newly reborn Beast Taming Space.
That brilliant radiance seemed to pierce through the darkness of dawn, casting the first rays of light into the previously dim eighth-tier space.
Bathed in this glow, the five small creatures greedily inhaled the endless waves of supernatural energy, forging it into their own raw power.
Their base energy values began to skyrocket.
Twenty million... Fifty million... Eighty million...
In a heartbeat, the energy values of the five small creatures smashed through the hundred million mark!
A hundred million energy value.
This was the theoretical limit for an Emperor-tier, Emperor-level species.
Under normal circumstances, an Emperor-tier beast without special opportunities could only ever reach this peak of strength.
Yet, the five small creatures were already blowing past this ceiling right at the start!
Their power showed no signs of slowing down as it continued to surge.
One hundred and twenty million... One hundred and forty million... One hundred and sixty million... One hundred and eighty million!
Almost at the exact same time, the energy values of all five creatures hit two hundred million!
At this point, the growth of their power came to a sudden halt.
A new set of chains appeared over their strength.
The immortal cage.
Even though they had only just stepped into the Emperor-tier, their power had already reached the very pinnacle of that rank!
However, their evolution was far from finished.
Next to undergo a breakthrough were their rule domains!
The ninth stage of rule comprehension is typically the ceiling for the Supreme-tier, but it was not the limit for these five.
All of their previous foundations and accumulated insights now acted as a catalyst, propelling their strength forward at a terrifying pace.
With the exception of Tata, whose comprehension was slightly behind, the other four small creatures successfully advanced their rules into the first realm!
Even Tata, spurred by the momentum of the breakthroughs and the resonance of Youyou’s advancement, tapped into its own hidden potential, jumping directly from the seventh to the ninth stage!
Finally, as the Light of Advancement faded away, the new forms of the five small creatures were revealed.
Qiuqiu’s sleek and nimble body did not expand to a hundred meters despite the Emperor-tier breakthrough.
It appeared the eternal rule was at work; Qiuqiu kept its compact size while packing immense power within its small frame.
Nearby, Guigui was a different story; its physical form swelled to nearly a hundred meters. However, due to the distortion of the spatial forces surrounding it, that massive scale seemed almost invisible.
Through deliberate control, its visible form appeared only two meters tall, even though its true stature was a hundred meters.
Meanwhile, behind it, Yingying had fully evolved into a massive dragon hundreds of meters in length. Its black scales gleamed with a chilling luster, their edges sharp enough to slice through anything.
An overwhelming aura radiated from it, enough to terrify the most wicked of beings!
Beside it, Youyou gripped its original long spear, an obvious expression of joy lighting up its face.
It looked only slightly more mature than before, but the power vibrating within its Spiritual Body was now truly formidable.
With a nearly tenfold increase in its energy value, Youyou’s True Phoenix Flame would be devastating the next time it was unleashed.
Lastly, Tata was the only one whose physical appearance remained completely unchanged.
It seemed destined to stay petite forever, with only its colossal power serving as proof that it had reached the same new realm as its companions.
Just as the five creatures prepared to exit the Beast Taming Space, looks of confusion suddenly crossed their faces.
"Boom!"
A massive sound erupted, causing Qiuqiu’s body to shudder involuntarily.
"Boom!"
A second explosion followed, making Guigui tremble as well.
"Boom!"
This time, it was Youyou.
"Boom!"
Then Tata.
"Boom!"
Finally, the sound hit Yingying.
The five booming echoes merged into a thunderous roar that resonated throughout the Beast Taming Space.
In the following moment, a "crack" sounded as a fissure appeared on the pitch-black wall of the space.
A beam of golden light poured through the opening.
It was like the dawn of a new world!
Lin Su snapped his eyes open. A dark light flickered within them, carrying a faint, almost invisible trace of gold.
The bottleneck of the ninth tier had finally loosened; all that remained was to accumulate enough power!
