Haoyue looked like he didnât even put the four-headed chimera in his eyes, and held his six large heads high with a bellow, proudly standing like a minor sovereign king .
This scene was totally unexpected . Even Long Haochen himself couldnât help but look on in a daze . This was just as his comrades had just taken Conjoined Spiritual Boosting Pills, preparing to enter his most supreme mode to confront Chen Hongyuâs test .
But Chen Hongyuâs strongest contracted beast suddenly fell to the ground, and after having gotten out of the way of the Hellfire Needle, Chen Hongyu nearly fell from its back . That was really a monstrous situation . After all, as that wasnât an enemy, Long Haochen didnât choose to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack against Chen Hongyu .
âHow could that be?â Chen Hongyuâs shock was extreme . Milky-white soul fluctuations were spread out from his body, covering the chimera Xingxuan, but things turned out contrary to his wishes . His boost didnât show any utility as Xingxuanâs trembling became only more and more distinct . The four heads were all pressed against the ground, foam starting to come out from their mouths and noses .
This time, Chen Hongyu couldnât attend to testing Long Haochenâs group further . To a summoner, a contracted beast is like an extension of their own life! In case something happens to the contracted beast, the summonerâs cultivation is bound to suffer a severe blow and maybe even a fatal wound .
âWhat did you do to Xingxuan?â Chen Hongyu was enraged, but looking clearly at Haoyueâs appearance, he couldnât help but look blank .
Long Haochen was also greatly amazed at Xingxuanâs state, because he hadnât told Haoyue to launch the slightest attack . And Xingxuan being a magical beast of the tenth rank, how could any of Haoyueâs attacks even beat her? For a moment, he was totally confused and unable to make heads or tails of the situation, hurriedly getting off from Haoyueâs back .
In a flash, his figure appeared beside Chen Hongyu, and on his back, Caiâerâs figure noiselessly emerged . If that was a real enemy, the previous instant Chen Hongyu shouted loudly at Long Haochen would be the best opportunity to make her move .
âSenior, we didnât do anything, and didnât even attack!â The Conjoined Spiritual Pillsâ effects were still present, but because they werenât released, Long Haochenâs body felt unpleasant, barely suppressing the Cojoined Spiritual Pillsâ backlash, as he spoke these words very helplessly to Chen Hongyu .
Seeing that he wasnât even able to transmit his thoughts to Xingxuan, Chen Hongyu unexpectedly sweated profusely , âYou didnât do anything? But look at how Xingxuan became . Itâs that magical beast, your magical beast . Donât tell me that it could even suppress her blood? â
After all, he was the Spiritual Templeâs head . As Chen Yingâer said, in this world, no one had a better understanding of magical beasts than her grandfather . Mentioning a blood purity suppression, Chen Hongyuâs eyes became filled with unbelief . And when looking further at Haoyueâs appearance , he looked as if seeing a monster, and couldnât help but tremble profusely .
âThat canât be⌠A six-headed chimera . . . â Chen Hongyuâs looked lifelessly at Haoyue, both his hands and feet ice-cold for a moment . He hadnât forgotten about Xingxuanâs predicament, and hastily told Long Haochen, âHurry up, send your mount back, fast!â His last word became almost a howl; from this, one could see the terrible eagerness filling him .
Long Haochen didnât dare tarry overlong, and rapidly turned back, making a gesture to Haoyue who gave a last look of disdain to Xingxuan before lifting his head and disappearing in the midst of a purple illumination .
What a mysterious sight followed . The instant he disappeared, Xingxuanâs shaking came to a stop, and she stopped spitting foam . But the other magical beasts who werenât as lucky were all shrouded in the purple intent released by Haoyue . At the very moment, they were all limp, and the ones lower in cultivation even died directly . The ones higher in cultivation were still in limp states . For a moment, magical beast urine kept flowing, covering the whole Fighting Beast Ground with an unpleasant smell .
Haoyueâs departure made Chen Hongyu greatly relax . Turning his eyes toward Long Haochen, his look became totally different, as if looking at a monster . The four-headed chimera was also gradually recovering, and fast at that, being a magical beast of the tenth rank . Raising all four heads, it didnât have the slightest residue of frightened demeanor . And in particular when looking at Long Haochen, its massive body drew back, taking the initiative to return to where it was summoned, not even calling out at last to Chen Hongyu .
âSenior, what just happened?â Long Haochen had great difficulty to suppress the backlash of the Cojoined Spiritual Pills, but totally unable to make heads or tails of what was originally an extremely ordinary test turning to such a theatrical sight, how could he show no astonishment?
Chen Hongyu firmly stared fixedly at Long Haochen, âWhere have you gotten that mount from? Tell me!â
Long Haochen replied, âFrom the Knightsâ Sacred Mountain . â
âImpossible . â Chen Hongyu cut him off categorically, âHow could your Knightsâ Sacred Mountain have a six-headed chimera in it? Donât you know what six-headed chimeras are?â
Long Haochen looked at Chen Hongyu in astonishment, âAre you saying that Haoyue is a six-headed chimera?â
Chen Hongyu nodded without any hesitation, âFor certain . Otherwise how could he have exhibited such an intense blood purity suppression towards Xingxuan? Even a more powerful magical beast never achieved that . â
The others were all encircling them, and even the spectators Sanshui Popo and Zhang Fangfang had come down . Sanshui Popo remarked, âYou should know what blood purity suppression is . Magical beasts are formed up of many races . And in every race exist different strict categories . Thatâs the system of class between magical beasts, an aspect that is a bit similar to us humans . Simply speaking, there are dissociations like commoner and nobles among magical beasts, and in front of the noble ones, commoners of the same race would be greatly suppressed, thatâs their blood purity suppression . Therefore, when a war happens in a same race, the contest of power will always be between the nobles of highest blood status . If the difference between their blood statuses is very large, due to the suppression by the powerful one, a battle will absolutely not occur . Only when the purity in their blood doesnât differ a lot, can a battle possibly break out . â
âLet me give you a simple example . â Sanshui Popo pointed at Han Yuâs Demonic Eye Commander, âYour Demonic Eye is at the commander level . If a despotic levelled Demonic Eye was here, its strength would be bound to be greatly suppressed . Thereâs no way it could even move against the Despotic Demonic Eye . â
Listening to Sanshui Popoâs explanation, everyone gained a better understanding of blood purity suppression .
At this moment, Chen Hongyu had calmed down greatly, taking a deep tone, âJust before, Xingxuan was like an ordinary Demonic Eye seeing a Despotic Demonic Eye when seeing your six-headed chimera, which is why it was so unbearable for her . If exposed for too long to the six-headed chimeraâs presence, that could possibly even threaten her life . Now I finally understand why the Demon God Emperor values you so highly . You have on your side a god, which can even threaten the demonsâ rule . â Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, âTemple Head, just wait . I feel that something is wrong . Just now, Senior Sanshui said that a Tyrannical Demonic Eye would suppress a Demonic Eye Commander, and thatâs what blood purity suppression is . But the premise is that the Tyrannical Demonic Eye is far more powerful than a Demonic Eye Commander! But Haoyue isnât the same, heâs at most a magical beast of the ninth rank, who even evolved recently . Thereâs some gap with your four-headed chimera . Thereâs a wide gap between a magical beast of the ninth rank and the tenth rank . How could he inflict natural suppression to your four-headed chimera?â
âWhat did you just say? Ninth rank? This canât be! How could a six-headed chimera be a magic beast of the ninth rank?â Chen Hongyu almost lost his voice .
Long Haochen declared helplessly, âThatâs how things are . Haoyue is really a magical beast of the ninth rank . And one that has evolved not long before, my companions can confirm these facts . â
Chen Hongyuâs look became lifeless . This shock came from the fact that, even with his knowledge on magical beasts, this situation far exceeded his understanding .
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his shock, Chen Hongyu declared, âLetâs do this, I will tell you what I know about chimeras, and then you will tell me what you know about this contracted magical beast of yours . If your magical beast is really only reaching the ninth rank, it surely has an extraordinary background, surely even exceeding the whole category of the chimeras . â
Sanshui Popo suddenly interrupted Chen Hongyu, âWhat about Yingâer? How is she? Long Haochen, where have you put her?â
Long Haochen replied, âI have transported her to a safe place, using one of our divine tools enabling us to teleport people freely . She should have gone past her mental forceâs limits, and will recover after a time of rest . I can teleport her back right now . â
Sanshui Popo was in the end not relieved about Chen Yingâerâs circumstances, and immediately nodded for Long Haochen to activate his teleportation .
The Eternal Melody released golden fluctuation, and transported the still unconscious Chen Yingâer back in front of everyone . After checking her body condition for a bit, and confirming that she lost consciousness only due to the overuse of her mental force, she finally relaxed, and placed a mental force recovering pill in Chen Yingâerâs mouth .
Chen Hongyu couldnât even manage his granddaughter, despite having studied magical beasts his whole life, and suddenly finding out a total mystery, a special magical beast he had never even heard aboutâŚhis shock was just too great . At the same time Sanshui Popo treated Chen Yingâer, he already started speaking about the ancestry of chimeras .
âChimeras are a special kind of dragons, referring to beings with mixed bodies originating from ancient times . In other words, irrelevant things put together gave birth to a new kind of creature . That may sound hard to understand, but the chimerasâ existence is the living proof of this theory . â
