Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1590 444: The Final Battle (2) (Countdown to Completion: 6)_3

Bolstered by the roar of the True Phoenix Flame, Youyou lunged forward; her spear outpaced the very light, delivering a lethal, majestic intent that pierced its target in a heartbeat.

A single, decisive strike cleanly severed one of the King of Destruction's heads.

"When matching wits with me, it would be wise not to lose focus," Youyou remarked coolly. Her weapon hummed in her grasp, releasing a piercing and melodic cry synonymous with the phoenix.

Ever since her advancement to the Immortal Tier, she had refined her rule-based physique using the Destruction Rules, granting her immunity to their usual backlash and allowing the fluid manipulation of the Power of Shattering.

Now that she had attained the Mythical Tier, the efficacy of the Path of Shattering grew significantly more potent.

Fifteen distinct attributes form the foundational keystones of this world.

When these attributes fuse, they generate a formidable resonance capable of impacting the world tier itself.

In technical terms, a rule tier of such magnitude qualifies as quasi-Dao level.

Even at the rule stage, it already possessed strength that rivaled conventional Dao principles.

One can only imagine the sheer devastation it will unleash once it undergoes a metamorphosis into Dao, cresting into a higher tier of existence.

Such potent rules only manifest their true capability upon reaching the Mythical Tier.

Anything below the Mythical Tier is equivalent to a child fumbling with an adult’s weapon, barely utilizing a shadow of its potential.

However, within the grasp of Youyou—who had firmly entered the Mythical Domain—the Path of Shattering finally flourished in its complete radiance.

"You..."

Deep within the eyes of the King of Destruction, a vicious killing intent swirled, mingled with a hidden, gnawing greed.

Only after witnessing the full extent of Youyou's mastery did it grasp the true terror of her Dao.

All systems!

Fifteen attributes, compressed into a singular point!

At this realization, the King of Destruction’s countenance shifted into a twisted, frantic mask of insanity.

Even among the ranks of the Seven Kings, its lineage was an anomaly.

The species known as the King of Destruction is native only to the Southern Wilderness, never having been sighted in the other three domains, nor originating even from Blue Star.

They are an elite race categorized under the Earth attribute, known as the Head Swallowing Snake.

Typically, exotic beasts must acquire secondary evolution skills to advance.

Yet, a select few possess inherent evolution or latent talents ingrained in their biology.

The Head Swallowing Snake is such an entity.

Their unique evolution skill, known as Head Swallowing, enables them to consume the heads of different exotic beasts, assimilating them to fashion new heads and thus ensuring a cycle of continuous evolution.

By devouring these remains, they not only gain the skills of the vanquished but also inherit their elemental attributes.

Tragically, this ability remains a double-edged sword for the species.

Because the inherent racial tier of the Head Swallowing Snake is exceptionally low, they struggle in the Southern Wilderness, an environment saturated with superior species they cannot hope to overcome.

Even as they grow by predating on weaker beasts, they constantly face the threat of death during evolution; the sheer discordance of disparate attributes often leads to a fatal failure.

The King of Destruction, however, was a rare deviation from this trend.

Through innate genius and precise attribute management, it ascended step by step.

It carefully chose its prey, devouring only specific beasts to maintain a stable, multi-faceted internal balance.

Eventually, the King of Destruction achieved a natural state of eight systems.

Yet, that had been its glass ceiling.

Even it could not add further attributes without risking total instability.

Upon reaching the Immortal Tier, it successfully synthesized these eight systems, grasping the fundamental Destruction Rules.

Then, after ascending to the Mythical Tier, it relied on the Path of Destruction to finally evolve its ninth head.

It felt like a titan, convinced it had reached the absolute peak of power.

Then, after breaking into the Mythical Tier, it encountered Youyou.

An unprecedented thirst took root in its heart.

It had to devour the opponent standing before it!

The King of Destruction felt certain that if it consumed her, it could finally absorb the remaining seven attributes.

If only it could perfect its Path of Destruction with every single system, it might finally shatter the chains of the Time Master's control!

At this moment, the King of Destruction ignored its obligation to assist the King of Life.

The challenger was simply too formidable.

It gambled that by unleashing its full power, it might find one narrow path to victory!

"Die!"

The King of Destruction shrieked, its seven heads and the stump of the severed neck merging into the central Head of Destruction; a terrifying, unseen momentum surged toward the heavens!

It was a technique mirrored from the Time Master—a crude imitation, but one infused with its personal mastery over the Path of Destruction.

The eight attribute heads fully unified, propelling its combat capability to its absolute nadir.

Shrouded in a veil of purple-black, the horrifying Destruction Rules wove into every scale on its body.

Its form expanded with every breath, stretching to several million meters; a single swipe of its tail conjured a gale that echoed from the North Deity Domain across the entire sky above the Divine Martial realm.

Whatever touched those scales was instantly annihilated, erased from existence entirely.

In the blink of an eye, the tail, brimming with boundless power, slammed toward Youyou's position!

Facing the onslaught, Youyou displayed no signs of panic.

Merging all attributes into one...

She watched the immense tail sweep toward her, completely calm.

"I can manage that, too."

A clear, resonant phoenix cry erupted from Youyou, rippling outward in every direction.

As the cry pierced the air, an endless azure flame enveloped her, merging into the fire that set the sky ablaze.

A moment later, a phoenix spanning over a million meters burst forth from the inferno, as if reborn, charging fiercely at the King of Destruction.

The Sapphire Palace secret technique, "Phoenix Transformation Scripture"—the art of becoming the phoenix itself!

This technique existed only in theory until now.

According to the scripture, true mastery is achieved only when the practitioner's visualization reaches its zenith, allowing the divine soul to merge completely with the spirit of the phoenix, rendering the self and the bird indistinguishable.

After thousands of years of visualization on Blue Star, Youyou finally reached this state at the moment of her advancement to the Mythical Tier.

This became her third method of unleashing the absolute power of the Path of Shattering.

The Phoenix Spirit Form!

Within this form, Youyou truly becomes a phoenix. While she loses access to her other skills, the blessing of the Phoenix Transformation Scripture pushes the True Phoenix Flame to its maximum potential!

As she watched the King of Destruction’s manic expression freeze beneath her razor-sharp talons, Youyou’s brilliant phoenix eyes flashed with chilling intent.

"Your rules are interesting, but that is all they are."

"Game over!"

She was determined to hold the number one spot in this internal competition!
