Chapter 457: Chapter 261: The Contracted Plasma Sacred Beetle

The group stared at the fallen Plasma Sacred Beetle.

The Plasma Sacred Beetle, known for its elemental attacks, hadn’t even managed to spray a single burst of plasma.

Shen Xuan looked up at the Necromancy Night Pearl Butterfly flying above the Butterfly Array and couldn’t help but exclaim to Zhong Ling,

"Xiaolingdang, you’re so strong now."

"I feel like even if there were two of me fighting you, I still wouldn’t be your opponent."

Shen Xuan’s admiration was completely sincere.

But for his companion, someone he spent every day with, to suddenly become so terrifyingly strong...

...it left Shen Xuan feeling a bit out of sorts.

Seeing this, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but say,

"Ah Xuan, your strength isn’t bad either. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have received an SS Level potential rating."

"I have a Guardian Beast here that’s perfect for you, called the Mire Poison Rain Moss."

"As for this Mire Poison Rain Moss, you can form a Contract with it after we leave the Wolf Insect Secret Realm."

"With this Mire Poison Rain Moss, not only can it provide a large amount of poison for your Rhombic Diamond Golem Ghost in battle, but you also won’t have to worry about the difficulty of poisoning opponents relying solely on the silk threads of your Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother."

In Zhong Yi’s mind, Shen Xuan’s potential was greater than Zhong Ling’s because he possessed an Order Beast, which she did not.

But Zhong Yi had never looked down on Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling, who had contracted the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly through the Guardian Beast Master’s Talent Mother Cocoon Room, was already stronger than an ordinary Celestial Destiny Seeker thanks to the Butterfly Swarm she commanded as a Taming Master.

Furthermore, Zhong Ling’s strength would only grow greater as her Tier continuously increased.

It was just that Zhong Ling’s power also relied on an infinite supply of high-end resources from Creators.

Now, Zhong Yi knew of a great treasure that could bestow Rule Authority upon ordinary Guardian Beasts.

Zhong Ling’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly, had already obtained Rule Authority.

The existence of such a treasure meant that in the future, Zhong Ling could even use it to bestow Rule Authority on all the Butterfly Guardian Beasts under her control.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhong Yi possessed the Soul Taming Seed,

...even with an unlimited supply of Creator resources, he feared he might not be a match for Zhong Ling!

For now, Zhong Yi had finished nurturing Zhong Ling’s growth. From now on, she would have to earn the resources to strengthen her Guardian Beasts herself.

Shen Xuan’s potential couldn’t compare to Zhong Ling’s at the moment because he couldn’t form Contracts with too many Guardian Beasts.

The reason Zhong Yi chose to let Shen Xuan form a Contract with a third Guardian Beast now was because of Shen Xuan’s extremely high Soul Talent.

An ordinary Guardian Beast Master, even if they contracted as many as they could, would only be able to manage four to five Guardian Beasts.

But once Shen Xuan’s strength reached the Level of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, he could form Contracts with six or seven Guardian Beasts and still have Soul Power to spare.

If Shen Xuan continued down his current path, relying on the combination of his Order Beast’s Rule Authority, Erosion of All Things, and his Beastmaster Talent, Poison Burst Calculation, as long as he didn’t get matched with an overly strong opponent in the promotion matches, he had at least a fifty percent chance of becoming a Zhenxing C Level Talent.

While the juvenile Plasma Sacred Beetle was being killed, the Wolf Insects had also been mostly slaughtered.

The fallen Plasma Sacred Beetle’s legs had all but stopped twitching, and it was clear that it was about to die.

After a moment of thought, Zhong Yi said to Zhong Ling,

"Xiaolingdang, you’ve never had a suitable Defensive Guardian Beast."

"I think you can use your Reincarnation Nether Butterfly to turn this Plasma Sacred Beetle into an Undead Creature, and then use your Rule Authority to control it."

"This Plasma Sacred Beetle can serve not only as a defensive unit, but also as a powerful Close Combat Magic unit."

"You didn’t give this Plasma Sacred Beetle a chance to spray its plasma."

"If that plasma had gotten on your Blade Butterflies and Blade Beauty Butterflies, your Butterfly Swarm would have definitely suffered heavy losses."

"Besides, this Plasma Sacred Beetle has great potential for cultivation; it’ll be useful to you all the way up to the Mythical Tier."

"In any case, you can freely replace the creatures you’ve transformed into undead."

"When you get a better replacement later on, you can just swap out this Plasma Sacred Beetle."

Zhong Yi’s words made Zhong Ling’s eyes light up. She took out a bottle of pure Death Qi and two balls of Dead Soul from her Storage Pouch.

After feeding the Death Qi and Dead Soul to her Reincarnation Nether Butterfly, she had the energy-depleted butterfly use the Skill, Netherworld Passage.

Soon, the Plasma Sacred Beetle’s Soul Fire was ignited, transforming it from a living being into an Undead Creature.

Under the effect of the Rule Authority, Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown, the newly undead Plasma Sacred Beetle became another one of the captives of Zhong Ling’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly.

Since Zhong Ling had converted the Plasma Sacred Beetle into an Undead Creature, there wasn’t much left to clean up on the battlefield.

Inside this Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm, there were multiple resource points that produced Soul Base Materials.

Zhong Ling had marked all of these resource points along the way.

After Zhong Yi and the others left the Secret Realm, this Wolf Insect Secret Realm would not disappear.

They could just arrange for people to come in and harvest the resources from these points later.

Because no one had ever reached an exploration level of 60% in the Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm, the resources produced within it were much more expensive than those from ordinary Second Level Secret Realms.

Zhong Yi didn’t care about the resource output of this Second Level Wolf Insect Secret Realm.

However, for the ordinary Guardian Beast Masters of Starlight City, this Wolf Insect Secret Realm would be extremely beneficial for the next several decades, or even a century.

Given the climate and environment within the Wolf Insect Secret Realm, once it was developed, it would be highly suitable for establishing Guardian Beast breeding centers to raise plant-type or Insect Guardian Beasts.

The soil in the Wolf Insect Secret Realm contained a special type of fungus that could effectively break down the toxic components in the Fungal Mat.

They could also have scholars study the soil from the Wolf Insect Secret Realm later.

Perhaps in the future, they could solve the problem of soil contamination caused by Wolf Insect Secret Realm outbreaks.

Zhong Yi and the others walked to a canyon, which suddenly became a scene of bizarre and kaleidoscopic visions.

A series of stunning spectacles appeared in the valley, blotting out the sky.

On the bodies of floating Exotic Insects so large their full size couldn’t be seen, there were all sorts of insectoid Creatures.

Among them were several thousand adult Plasma Sacred Beetles, half-standing upright.

However, these Plasma Sacred Beetles were different from the adult ones found in the Fourth Level Insect Mound Secret Realm.

The Plasma Sacred Beetles on these giant floating Exotic Insects were larger, each nearly 120 meters long.

Their carapaces were covered in magnificent blue-purple patterns.

The three floating Exotic Insects hanging high in the sky, which looked about fifty percent like jellyfish, resembled floating biological battleships, with each ship being a single massive Exotic Insect.

Zhong Yi vaguely saw a graceful figure in the depths of the valley, clad in Insect Armor with a delicate and well-proportioned body, slowly walking out of the valley.

Before Zhong Yi could investigate, the vision of light and shadow vanished.

From this vision, Zhong Yi caught a glimpse of a magnificent civilization of Exotic Insects.

Zhong Yi had learned from a conversation between Liu Shu and Long Mu that these Secret Realms, scattered across various worlds, were all fragments of collapsed worlds.

The Life in these visions had most likely been exterminated due to their worlds collapsing.

In contrast, the scenes within the Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company were actual, real-time projections of more vibrant, living worlds.

’If one day the Guardian Beast World were to be invaded and destroyed by outsiders, it too might become a collection of inconspicuous Secret Realms.’

It took a long while for Zhong Ling and the others to snap out of their daze from the vision.

Zhong Yi had also prepared Source Material Celestial Shuttles for Sun Ya and He Guoguo, so that they too could go on the Virtual Human Network in the future and learn how vast the world was beyond Guardian Beasts.

Every grand scene witnessed during a Secret Realm exploration was both a warning and an inspiration.

Both Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling had received Divine Origin Value before.

But for Ren Suxin, He Guoguo, and Sun Ya, it was their first time receiving Divine Origin Value, and the first time they heard that divine-sounding notification.

An altar appeared before Zhong Yi and the others. On it, as usual, were a Shelter, a Secret Realm Creature, and a Heart of the Secret Realm.

Zhong Yi first put away the Shelter, then inspected the Heart of the Secret Realm.

It was a very standard Earth Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm. No one in the group had any need for a Heart of this attribute.

However, when it came to something like a Heart of the Secret Realm, regardless of its attribute or whether they needed it, Zhong Yi would never sell one he had obtained.
