Chapter 539: Chapter 499: Fall of a Legendary Pet Beast

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

Principal Park had entered Heishi Town, and just when all the teachers thought the matter would soon be resolved, the strange tremors returned.

The rumbling was louder and lasted longer than before, causing the unease in Li Qian’s heart to swell once more.

But contrary to his reaction, the teachers who had come as reinforcements not far away didn’t seem very worried. Even hearing the deep rumbling, they paid it little mind.

Perhaps in their eyes, with Elder Ying, Principal Park, and Dean Pan Bing gathered together, any problem could be solved with ease.

Just as everyone was focused on observing, the strange tremors in Heishi Town, far from subsiding, began to grow even more intense.

Li Qian’s brow was still furrowed in thought, the feeling of unease in his heart growing ever stronger.

He shot a meaningful look at Wu You beside him.

Because of the contract between them, Wu You instantly understood his meaning.

The Wing Race woman immediately used the contract to command the Flame Dragon Carving, and they retreated a fair distance.

As for the others—the teachers—he didn’t try to persuade them to do the same.

He simply couldn’t find a good reason.

’A gut feeling is too nebulous,’ he thought. ’It holds no persuasive power whatsoever.’

Just as Li Qian and Wu You had retreated about four or five kilometers on the Flame Dragon Carving,

the rumbling below reached a crescendo.

Then, under everyone’s stunned gazes, a thunderous BOOM erupted.

A terrifying explosion, carrying with it a thick plume of smoke and dust, shot toward the sky.

Along with the plume of dust, an extremely terrifying shockwave surged upward.

The shockwave radiated outward from the center of the plume, its power utterly terrifying.

Li Qian watched as the horrific shockwave blasted even the teachers waiting at the perimeter, sending them flying.

Their Pet Beasts, some at least Dominator Level, suffered the same fate.

Not only did they fail to withstand the immensely powerful shockwave, but they were sent flying right along with their Beast Masters.

After the shockwave passed, the spot where Heishi Town once stood was now nothing but a field of ruins.

Amid the ruins, Li Qian clearly saw a pitch-black Dimensional Rift, standing silently in place.

Without a doubt, this pitch-black Dimensional Rift was the source of that terrifying shockwave.

Before Li Qian could even react or get closer to see what was happening, he caught sight of three figures shooting out from the pitch-black Dimensional Rift at incredible speed.

The three figures burst out of the Dimensional Rift, and immediately after, the Array shaped like an overturned sea bowl lit up once more.

Li Qian focused his gaze and quickly discovered four humanoid Pet Beasts standing at the four corners of the Array, channeling Energy into it.

Inside the Array, one of the three figures—Principal Park—was suddenly emitting a blazing light, like a star.

Before Li Qian had a chance to react, the situation changed once again.

In the blinding light, the bowl-shaped Array shattered inch by inch, dissolving into specks of starlight.

The starlight merged with the dazzling light from Principal Park, mingling together to form a ribbon of light.

This newly formed ribbon of light swept down with incredible speed, blanketing the pitch-black Dimensional Rift.

Under the cover of this light, the pitch-black Dimensional Rift actually began to slowly seal itself shut.

"Principal Park... is he trying to temporarily seal the Dimensional Rift?"

Li Qian couldn’t help but murmur to himself as he watched this unfold.

Just a moment before the Dimensional Rift completely sealed, ROAR ROAR ROAR—several terrifying beast roars suddenly burst out from within it.

Just the shockwaves from those few terrifying roars were enough to make the teachers, who had only just managed to steady themselves, wobble precariously in mid-air, nearly plummeting to the ground.

Although he was farther away, because his strength was the lowest among everyone present, Li Qian’s head couldn’t help but spin and throb with pain upon hearing those terrifying roars.

At the same time, a storm of shock raged in his heart.

’Just a few roars have such terrifying power. I can’t even begin to imagine how frightening the enemy inside this Dimensional Rift must be.’

Seeing the Dimensional Rift completely sealed, Li Qian didn’t hesitate, immediately instructing Wu You to have the Flame Dragon Carving descend.

"Principal Park, Elder Ying, Dean Pan!" Li Qian called out as soon as he landed.

But he found it strange that not one of the three responded.

This included Principal Park and Dean Pan, both of whom he had a very good relationship with.

They all stared silently at the empty space ahead—the spot where the Dimensional Rift had been sealed.

He then looked over at the stooped old man beside them, who was Elder Ying.

Just as Li Qian was feeling bewildered, Elder Ying suddenly retched and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

His body swayed, looking as if it would collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Li Qian rushed forward to support him. "Elder Ying, what’s wrong?"

"Old friend," Elder Ying said, not answering Li Qian’s question. He stared blankly at the sealed Dimensional Rift. "After all these years together... I never thought I’d be the one to bring you down in the end!"

His voice was dejected and filled with sorrow.

As Li Qian pondered this, he began to guess at what might have happened.

At that very moment, a phantom image of a great mountain suddenly materialized in the air above Elder Ying’s head.

It wasn’t just Li Qian; almost everyone present saw this strange phenomenon.

Seeing this, Dean Pan and Principal Park both sighed in resignation.

Li Qian scratched his head, utterly confused as he stared at the giant mountain shadow in the air.

Just as Li Qian was trying to make sense of it all, the massive mountain shadow floating above Elder Ying’s head instantly shattered, dissolving into countless fragments that faded into the air.

"That’s the sign of an Earth Attribute Legendary Level Pet Beast perishing!" one of the teachers who understood what was happening couldn’t help but cry out in horror.

Li Qian heard the panicked chatter and his eyes flew wide.

He looked at Elder Ying, his own eyes filled with disbelief.

’The sign of a Legendary Level Pet Beast perishing!’

’How... how is that possible?!’

’In my understanding, a Legendary Pet Beast represents the absolute pinnacle of power in the Beast Taming World. It’s impossible for one to die!’

’And yet, it happened right before my very eyes.’

’And without a doubt, the one that perished must be Elder Ying’s Pet Beast.’

’I just don’t know if it was the Mountain Guardian Beast that had just rushed over to help...’
