Damn it! You Call This Beast Taming?

Chapter 72: Clearing the Extraordinary-level Heritage Ruins

The only thing his Mirage Butterfly lacked was combat experience. The sovereign level Mirage Butterfly opponent before it was the perfect target for it to gain some combat experience. More importantly, the Mirage Butterfly in the heritage ruins was quite rigid. Since it was not a true life form, it did not have a flexible mind, which was its biggest weakness.

Chu Feng did not feel pressured. Rather, he even felt that the situation now was nothing compared to the time when the Wild Bear had fought alone against two beasts, the Giant Bloodfire Ant and the Three-legged Golden Rooster. The Mirage Butterfly gradually grew more familiar with fighting. The space around it was constantly frozen as it stacked all kinds of illusions on top of each other, and the domains were colliding crazily. The scene was just dazzling!

Behind the dazzling scene, however, was endless killing intent and danger. The space-type power and the spirit-type power had always been very dangerous. Any small mistake would lead to one’s body being disintegrated or even having one’s spirit destroyed!

“Mirage Butterfly, it’s time to end this,” Chu Feng felt that his Mirage Butterfly had learned almost all of the combat techniques since its learning ability was exceptionally good. This was also the biggest advantage Chu Feng’s Mirage Butterfly had in this battle.

“Mo-meh!” With that, the Mirage Butterfly abruptly spread its wings. Then, a magnificent light descended and space collapsed! The sovereign-level Mirage Butterfly’s movements immediately slowed, a result of the difference in skill levels. Even though the level of Chu Feng’s Mirage Butterfly was slightly lower, its skills were simply too powerful, allowing it to directly suppress the sovereign level 10 Mirage Butterfly!

The spatial domain collapsed into a point and gathered between the sovereign-level Mirage Butterfly’s brows. Then, with a piercing sound, the space was torn apart, and the opponent’s soul was destroyed! With that, the sovereign level 10 Mirage Butterfly gradually dissipated into the air!

...

Everyone in the spectator area was stunned.

[Extraordinary-level challenger number 80002 has cleared the tenth stage!]

“He actually cleared it...”

“This is the first person to clear the extraordinary-level heritage ruins since ancient times!”

“Not only did he clear the extraordinary-level heritage ruins, but he’s the same guy who cleared the awakening-level heritage ruins too! He cleared the heritage ruins of two different levels in one go!”

“This person definitely has an SS-rank beast tamer talent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this monstrous!”

“I really don’t understand how he managed to defeat the sovereign level 10 Mirage Butterfly.”

“I really hope that it’s Chu Feng who cleared it, but he isn’t here right now, and Principal Gao isn’t here either. So it definitely can’t be Chu Feng.”

“That’s right. If Chu Feng came here, Principal Gao and Wan Wanqing would’ve probably come too. Even City Lord Wan might come as well!”

Lan Xi sighed. Just which region’s genius had come to challenge the heritage ruins?

She didn’t think that this person was Chu Feng, because his current situation was very special. The chances of him appearing alone in the heritage ruins were too small.

“But how did challenger number 80002 clear the tenth stage? It’s really hard to imagine!”

What Lan Xi didn’t know was that after Chu Feng added his enhancement points to the Mirage Butterfly, the Mirage Butterfly was already stronger than its sovereign level 10 kin. Even though they were of the same race, with the suppression of strength and Chu Feng’s Mirage Butterfly being more flexible, there was no chance of it losing.

In the heritage space, Chu Feng praised, “You did well.”

He was very satisfied. After challenging this heritage ruin, the Mirage Butterfly could take charge independently. Thinking of this, Chu Feng was suddenly stunned. Take charge independently? Could this be the most important thing for clearing the heritage ruins?

[The tenth stage, cleared]

[ you have completely cleared the extraordinary-level heritage ruin.]

[The rewards for clearing the stage are about to be given.]

Chu Feng quietly waited for the rewards for clearing the ruins. He had obtained three types of treasures last time, and the most precious one was naturally the overlord-level pet beast egg. He had originally thought that the beast hatched from the overlord-level pet beast egg would probably only have an elementary overlord bloodline, but in the end, his Mirage Butterfly had been hatched!

Just how powerful the Mirage Butterfly was had already been fully revealed through its challenge of this heritage relic. It was strong enough to face opponents that were a whole level, or even more, higher than it. If it had been the extraordinary level 10 Wild Bear, it would have had to go through a tough battle in the last stage of the extraordinary-level heritage ruins. In contrast, the Mirage Butterfly had been able to unleased its full strength after adapting to it for some time, ending the battles in a split second!

Chu Feng was very gratified. The Mirage Grass and the many enhancement points that he had prepared for the Mirage Butterfly were all worth it. Suddenly, a light screen appeared in front of Chu Feng, and the Mirage Butterfly curiously approached.

[You may choose two from the three rewards below.]

[1. The seed of the Mythical Tree.]

[2. Fifty royal sky crystals.]

[3. One Overlord-level beast core.]

Chu Feng was shocked, “The Mythical Tree?”

He found it unbelievable. To think the Mythical Tree in the legends did exist! Among the totems worshipped by humans, the Mythical Tree was an absolute supreme existence. In the totem era 300 years ago, or even in the far ancient times, the Mythical Tree had witnessed the passing of countless legends and years!

Among all the totems worshipped by humans, the most powerful one wasn’t the Mirage Butterfly, nor the Azure Dragon or Fire Phoenix, but the Mythical Tree. There was a mural that depicted how once upon a time, the gigantic tree crown of the Mythical Tree had covered half of the vast planet. During the cruel totem era, the Mythical Tree protected many races, and one of them was the human race.

It wasn’t until the rise of humans and the Earth’s political situation was completely determined that the Mythical Tree quietly disappeared, as if it had never existed. No one knew where the Mythical Tree had gone. Many of the human Beastmasters who were archaeologists speculated that it had probably created an alternate dimension, and might even have created a civilization no lower than Earth’s!

Some even speculated that the Mythical Tree had truly surpassed all existences in the world, reaching above the legend level. There were many opinions and speculations in the academic world regarding the Mythical Tree, but very few had ever seen it. The older generation of overlord-level Beastmasters who had actually seen the Mythical Tree never said a single word about it. It wasn’t just out of respect, but also out of fear.

Chu Feng never expected that one of the rewards he could receive after clearing the extraordinary-level heritage ruins would include a seed of the Mythical Tree. For plant-type beasts, reproduction required them to use their origin to condense a seed. This was an irreversible process, and there was almost no possibility of replenishing the lost origin.

The seed of a plant-type beast was almost the same as a pet egg. As long as the seed was planted, the corresponding plant life would grow. But Chu Feng didn’t understand. Why did the Mythical Tree use its origin to condense a seed?

“There’s no point in thinking about it now,” Chu Feng stopped thinking about it and directly chose the first option. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he wouldn’t miss it. Then, he chose the fifty royal sky crystals. Although overlord-level beast cores were rare, they were not that useful.

If he sold the beast core for alliance dollars, it would still be meaningless because an overlord level 10 beast core was simply not as worthy as 50 royal sky crystals.
