Time gradually passed, and thousands of fierce beasts helped the Gluttonous beast digest a considerable number of medicinal agents, raising its own level to the Upper Great Fierce.
However, Chen Shu, who was in front of it, had not stopped, continuing to toss medicinal agents.
By this time, the Sacred Imperial Society had lost more than half of its members, all of whom were over a hundred years old. Lacking the fierce beasts to share their lifespans, they had all died on the spot.
The surviving members were those whose contracted spirits had perished and who had cooperated with fierce beasts to regain their strength. Their own ages were less than a hundred, so even if all the fierce beasts perished, it did not threaten their lives.
However, at this moment, they were filled with fear and anxiety, silently praying.
Then, the Gluttonous beast's icy words arrived: "Swallow them for me!"
With that, the Beast Emperor Medicine dripped down.
Humans had no greed for it; instead, they were filled with terror and remained in place, motionless.
"Either swallow, or die!"
Following his words, two humans were instantly suppressed and killed by a wave of pressure, their bodies reduced to a pulp.
Such a terrifying scene made the remaining members tremble. Under duress, they had no choice but to swallow the Beast Emperor Medicine!
To the Gluttonous beast's surprise, the Beast Emperor Medicine had little toxicity to humans, indicating it was specifically designed for fierce beasts.
But when the dosage reached a certain level, members of the Sacred Imperial Society still perished.
However, the Gluttonous beast was overjoyed, instantly finding a way to survive, and channeled most of the Beast Emperor Medicine within its body into the space occupied by the Sacred Imperial Society.
As members of the Sacred Imperial Society fell one by one, the Gluttonous beast's condition gradually recovered. It was no longer flustered, a ferocious smile appearing on its lips. It no longer resisted Chen Shu's medicinal agents.
Seeing this, Chen Shu also anticipated something and smiled.
The two looked at each other silently, and the scene surprisingly became somewhat beautiful, as if they were truly feeding it.
Both were smiling, but who was crying?
At this moment, the cries of the Sacred Imperial Society continued to erupt, their hearts filled with regret. If they had not betrayed humanity, perhaps everything would have been different...
As the last person perished, the Gluttonous beast's body finally fell silent...
At the same time, a system voice suddenly appeared in Chen Shu's mind: "The three extreme evil organizations have been annihilated! Achievement option completed... Reward: Candle Dragon bloodline!"
Instantly, Chen Shu's expression jolted, his eyes filled with excitement, and he even let out a wild laugh: "Big Mouth, thank you! I'll come and slaughter you again when I have the chance!"
His Beast Emperor Medicine had been completely depleted; he had even resorted to using the Ultimate Death Medicine to make up the numbers, but fortunately, the objective was achieved.
Without any hesitation, he took the rabbit and teleported away from the scene.
Seeing this, the Gluttonous beast also felt a sense of relief. It was now certain that the other party was after the humans within its body. But now, none of that mattered... At least its strength had not decreased, and for the time being, its life was saved...
Chen Shu drank an entire bottle of teleportation medicine and successfully returned to the Starry Sky Ruins.
The Candle Dragon bloodline rewarded by the system was automatically integrated into the Space Rabbit's body; Chen Shu didn't even have a choice.
The rabbit closed its eyes, having fallen into a deep slumber. An ancient and terrifying power appeared within its body, making one's heart palpitate.
"Candle Dragon..."
Chen Shu sat alone in the core area of the ruins, his eyes filled with contemplation. According to ancient records, when the Candle Dragon opened its eyes, it was daytime; when it closed them, it was night. With each breath, it could transition between seasons.
While he felt the descriptions were a bit exaggerated, it at least proved one thing: the Candle Dragon most likely mastered the power of time!
"Time plus space..."
Chen Shu licked his lips, his heart filled with excitement. He had not forgotten the life-and-death battle between the old man and the Fierce Emperor, who had relied on the supreme space-time attribute to contend with the Beast Ancestor's power. This implied that the space-time attribute possessed the ability to fight across greater levels! Even the old man could only rely on the strength of Principal Ning Bufan to fuse with the power of space-time. Now, the Space Rabbit was about to permanently master this power, which made him undeniably excited.
Furthermore, the Space Rabbit's body also possessed the bloodline of the Yinglong.
Yinglong and Candle Dragon, time and space... Once perfectly fused, Chen Shu could not even imagine what kind of terrifying creature would be born.
"I now possess the strength to contend with legendaries. If the rabbit's strength can surge further..."
Chen Shu muttered to himself, his entire body trembling slightly. He knew that he had gambled correctly! To annihilate the Sacred Imperial Society within the Gluttonous beast, he had consumed nearly a hundred bottles of Beast Emperor Medicine, which was worth trillions and could support humanity in launching another secluded cultivation plan.
If the system's bloodline reward did not cause his strength to transform qualitatively, not only would he suffer a significant loss, but humanity's chances of turning the tide would also decrease by ten to twenty percent. This was equivalent to using trillions in resources to kill about a thousand members of the Sacred Imperial Society; it could no longer be described as a loss.
However, by obtaining the Candle Dragon bloodline, he knew his decision was correct. Although his current strength also had a chance to kill a low-level legendary, the conditions were too harsh; it required the target to be in a critically injured and near-death state, and it also needed the cooperation of Beast Emperor Medicine.
But once the rabbit underwent a qualitative change, he would be able to kill a legendary creature in its prime. This was the true breakthrough! One sought an opportunity to act, while the other acted forcefully without conditions; naturally, they could not be equated.
Just as Chen Shu was contemplating, his expression changed, and he immediately sat down cross-legged. Within his body, a continuous stream of Beast Taming power appeared out of nowhere, seemingly inexhaustible. This was feedback from the Space Rabbit!
Previously, when Xiao Huang and Erha became inheritors of the ruins, they provided feedback to Chen Shu. Now, with the rabbit obtaining the Candle Dragon bloodline, the feedback power was naturally immense, directly bestowing upon Chen Shu a vast amount of Beast Taming power.
His current level was at the initial stage of Star King level three. To reach the peak of Star King level, it would likely require at least ten massive amounts of Beast Taming power from the system. But now, under the rabbit's feedback, his level easily reached the peak of Star King level...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Shu, who had originally kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His entire aura became extremely profound, like the vast ocean, making him unfathomable. Even a legendary creature would likely feel this way upon seeing him.
"What a pity..."
Chen Shu suddenly stood up, a trace of regret in his eyes. He had not contracted a sixth contracted spirit, which meant he was still only a Star King Beast Tamer, not having reached the coveted supreme realm.
"Why not Legendary..."
Chen Shu's eyes held a hint of confusion and bewilderment. The total amount of Beast Taming power within him actually surpassed the peak of Star King level, but he was still not at the Legendary level. More importantly, he now felt no barriers; he could still absorb large amounts of Beast Taming power and continue to advance. However, according to the old man, Beast Tamers at the peak of Star King level could no longer advance further, as the path to Legendary was already broken...
"Did I embark on a different path?"
Chen Shu's brows furrowed as he muttered to himself. In other words, he felt his current level was... Star King level four!
