I Tame Beasts by Feeding

The Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation let out a hum, radiating a dazzling brilliance in all directions.

Huang Suyu’s brow twitched, and his movements became more cautious.

His Sword Intent was exceptionally sharp and carried a degree of Divine Soul Attack. He had fought to this point and completely unleashed his Sword Intent—which had already reached the Minor Achievement stage—but it had almost no effect on Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng’s Divine Soul seemed protected by an indestructible barrier, easily resisting the assault of the Sword Intent.

The strength of this barrier was likely unmatched by anyone in the Foundation Establishment realm.

Huang Suyu’s expression was grim. He looked deeply conflicted, as if struggling to make a difficult decision.

Yu Changsheng, too, was lost in thought.

In fact, since the beginning of the battle, he had restrained himself from using his Divine Soul attacks at full power.

For one, Huang Suyu himself was quite powerful, and his sharp Sword Intent was a direct counter. Yu Changsheng wasn’t confident he could score a one-hit kill. If the Divine Soul attack failed, he would be the one in danger.

For another, Yu Changsheng had other plans.

In this battle so far, what had helped Yu Changsheng the most wasn’t his four Spirit Beasts, but his own Foundation Establishment Body. By relying on his body’s power, stamina, and recovery, he was able to trade blows with Huang Suyu and hold his own.

With the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation as his backbone, combining both offense and defense, he could handle Huang Suyu’s fiercest assaults with ease, no matter how relentless they were.

One of the advantages of being a Beast Master was using superior numbers to overwhelm an opponent.

Even if the Red Refining Snake and the others weren’t strong enough on their own, they were still able to distract and hinder Huang Suyu.

"I’ve played with you long enough. It’s time this farce came to an end!"

Huang Suyu gritted his teeth, a vicious glint erupting in his eyes. His Magic Robe hummed as tiny motes of Sword Light gathered around him, like the prelude to a thunderstorm!

Yu Changsheng didn’t say a word. His eyes thick with killing intent, he shot forward to meet him!

The two clashed again in an instant. A great boom echoed through the air as Huang Suyu unleashed some unknown technique. Sword Light erupted from his body, shooting out in all directions to form a Sea of Light, forcing Yu Changsheng to retreat.

Seizing this opportunity, Huang Suyu took a deep breath, his gaze turning resolute as he tightened his grip on his Magic Treasure Long Sword.

The sword was over three feet long, its blade a cold, silvery hue. The hilt was carved into the shape of a dragon’s head, radiating a brilliant light. With a gentle flick, the blade trembled, and the faint sound of a Dragon’s Roar echoed through the air.

"I have been refining this sword for a very long time. It is called Dragon’s Roar, and it is considered one of the very best among Top-grade Magical Treasures. This was meant to be my hidden trump card, something I did not wish to reveal so soon. But to slay you today, I will not hesitate to unsheathe Dragon’s Roar!"

Huang Suyu’s voice was nonchalant, but the killing intent in his eyes was palpable, suffusing the Dragon’s Roar Sword along with his Sword Intent.

A faint scarlet hue enveloped the blade.

A Sword Cultivator with a sword in hand is entirely different from one without. They are two completely different states of being.

The fact that Huang Suyu was now using his sword proved he was no longer holding back. He wanted to end this fight as quickly as possible.

Or perhaps, he now felt he absolutely had to kill Yu Changsheng!

A grave expression flickered across Yu Changsheng’s face. Beast Shadows formed a protective barrier as his Qi Blood Power surged, providing endless energy. Within the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation before him, the Red Refining Snake, Golden-Winged Eagle, and Colorful Star Deer stood ready for battle.

"So what if your Divine Sense is strange? Let’s see if you can withstand this next strike!"

It all happened in the blink of an eye. With the Dragon’s Roar Sword in hand, Huang Suyu gave a low cry. His left hand began forming seals while his right hand pointed the sword forward. He took three steps back, forming a different Seal Technique with each step, causing the Dragon’s Roar Sword to tremble.

With the first step, a sinister wind surged around Huang Suyu, and the air grew icy cold.

With the second step, wisps of green light formed from the void, rapidly converging upon the Dragon’s Roar Sword before him.

With the third step, the green illusion grew rapidly, spreading like mad from the tip of the blade, across its body, over the hilt, until it extended far beyond the Dragon’s Roar Sword itself, forming a giant sword a hundred zhang long.

This giant sword was entirely green, identical in shape to the Dragon’s Roar Sword. It flickered between illusion and reality, emitting a terrifying aura powerful enough to shake one’s very Divine Soul.

With the three steps complete, Huang Suyu’s Magical Power remained abundant. A strange gleam flashed in his eyes as he raised his right hand and pointed at Yu Changsheng. His voice seemed to merge with the sinister winds swirling around them.

"Dragon’s Roar... Soul Shaking!"

Yu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed. Flames erupted from the Red Refining Snake’s entire body, forming a Sea of Fire that churned like a great wave. The Golden-Winged Eagle spread its wings, summoning gales that fanned the fire. The Colorful Star Deer coordinated as well, turning an endless sea of trees into the perfect fuel. The flames burned furiously, as if to incinerate the heavens and scorch the earth. Empowered by the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation, this devastating power swept toward Huang Suyu.

"Spiritual Beast Four Extremes... Incinerating Heaven’s Sea of Fire!"

Huang Suyu’s expression didn’t change as he faced the majestic, heaven-incinerating fire. His eyes snapped open, and in the next instant, he swung Dragon’s Roar and roared, "Slash!"

RUMBLE!

The sword moved with his will. The great green sword shot forward, as fast as lightning, thundering toward Yu Changsheng and closing the distance in an instant.

In a flash, the giant sword collided with the incinerating Sea of Fire. The churning inferno was instantly torn in two. Though its power was diminished, the green sword’s edge was no less sharp as it continued its descent toward Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng used Shadow Flash repeatedly to dodge, but the sword seemed to have locked onto his very soul, making it impossible to evade.

A harsh glint appeared in Yu Changsheng’s eyes. He stopped trying to dodge. Forming a seal with his hands, he pushed forward. His Magical Power and Qi Blood Power surged at once, creating layer after layer of blood-red shields.

The Beast Shadows of the Red Refining Snake, Golden-Winged Eagle, and Colorful Star Deer also moved to block the attack. At Yu Changsheng’s low cry, they all burst into flames, as if an entire world were burning, the conflagration soaring to the heavens.

"Explode!"

The next instant, the Beast Shadows self-detonated. The Giant Sword was caught in the blast, its light dimming. Though it broke through the obstruction, its power was weakened even further.

In that instant, the greatsword reached him. It ignored his physical body completely. The moment it made contact, it seemed to drill into him, shrinking from its massive size.

In the blink of an eye, it had completely entered Yu Changsheng’s body, transforming into a soul-cutting force that shot straight for his Divine Soul.

But the instant the Soul-cutting Sword struck, Yu Changsheng’s Refining God Technique activated automatically. The Thousand Thoughts Slash not only annihilated the incoming attack, forming a defense, but it also traced the attack back to its source, forming a sword of its own that shot back toward Huang Suyu!

"Thousand Thoughts Slash! God Shocking Needle!"

Huang Suyu’s gaze froze. He let out a muffled grunt and took an involuntary step back. In his astonishment, he waved his sleeve, and his Sword Intent erupted, forming a hundred rays of Sword Light that shot toward Yu Changsheng.

"Black Wind Hundred Cuts!"

The Golden-Winged Eagle dove at Huang Suyu, and countless Wind Blades rained down from the sky, bombarding him like a torrential storm.

"Sword Transformation!"

Huang Suyu’s expression remained unchanged. The Dragon’s Roar in his hand drew an arc, its sword wind sharp. A series of illusory swords circled before him, forming a Sword Gang that blocked every last Wind Blade.

"Poisonous Tail Divine Hook!"

The Red Refining Snake’s tail lashed the ground, launching its massive body into the air. Its tail transformed into a pitch-black hook that whipped viciously at the Sword Gang!

CRACK!

The Sword Gang shattered. Huang Suyu grunted and retreated two steps, his impatience flaring.

"Wooden Cage!"

The attacks from the Colorful Star Deer and Yu Changsheng swept in again. The deer exerted its power, and a wooden cage materialized from the void to envelop Huang Suyu. At the same time, Yu Changsheng put his full strength into a vicious kick aimed straight at him.

The battle had reached a fever pitch. Both sides had stopped probing; every move was a killing blow.
