Book 10: Chapter 15: Red Planet (3)

‘Shere, Sen, pincer.’

Dyon casually gave commands from Linlin’s back. However, his casual demeanor was nothing like the raging storm below.

This was the last day of the month-long deadline Dyon had given the Blood Phoenix Battalion, and this penultimate battle had already been waged for four days.

This 1^st Tier planet didn’t have a name, but it was filled with a red soil with the consistency between that of wet sand and clay. Every step made one feel as though they lost half the energy they put in at once which gave the beasts they faced a decisive home field advantage.

As their cultivations were repressed to the saint realm, they simply didn’t have the stamina necessary to sustain flight for several days at a time. In the end, they had no choice but to stand amid this terrible field of red.

In addition to this, the beasts of this planet were also not stupid. After suffering at Dyon’s hands due to their disjointed nature, they came together in the end as one, led by 3 lower celestial beasts, all three of whom were equally powerful.

One was a raging bull with horns tinted in black and tapering red. The next was a large vulture with green feathers and a wrinkled long neck. The last was a silver armored four-legged creature with a rounded back and belly and a tail similar to that of a sewer rat.

Sen’s twin tails whipped against the ground viciously, propelling him forward at his fastest speed.

His rod extended into the skies, clipping the vulture’s wing. But the result was disappointing…

A metallic cling rang outward, sending Sen flying back to the reddened ground.

‘Linlin, cover Sen’s descent. Shere, coat your claws in demon flames.’

Sen’s attack might have seemed completely useless, but it had been perfectly timed under Dyon’s watch. His rod’s attack had perfectly synced with the vulture’s flapping wings, that single instant of time, though it didn’t crash to the ground, forced it to glide down almost 20 meters before it could flap once more.

But, this was already enough to give Shere more leverage in her attack.

At the same time, the armored rat had chosen to take advantage of Sen’s rapid downward descent, but Linlin was already prepared.

Her delicate mouth opened, revealing a head of smooth white leathery skin and sparkling eyes slithering out from her gorgeous black shell.

A torrent of qi exploded from her body, forming numerous hexagonal shields etched in beautiful ancient runes and stopping the armored rat in its tracks. Dyon hadn’t allowed her to use the supreme grade shield he gifted her in the Golden Flame Mystical World, but right now, she didn’t need it!

Over this last month, Dyon had been learning more and more about what it meant to be a beast tamer. In the end, he understood that the path of the beast babies would be slightly different from that of Chenglei.

Chenglei had relied on himself to shatter the chains placed on him by the Heavens. He chose to remain by Dyon’s side because he felt that without Dyon, this wouldn’t have been impossible.

However, the celestial babies were a bit different. Even now, Dyon still thought of them as babies despite the fact they had grown far past that station in life.

He realized that though he was partially correct in believing the four of them had to rely on themselves to grow more powerful, it was just that, partially correct. He came to understand that as a Beast Tamer, and as the person they recognized as their master, they should have a symbiotic relationship.

He had to learn to perfectly balance holding their hand to aid them in improving, and allowing them to forge a path for themselves.

Still, this was very difficult… But, Dyon did have one trump card in this matter: Ri’s Primordial Yin.

If there was anyone to learn from in the art of beast taming, the elves, and especially their queen, couldn’t be ignored.

By now, Ri had already controlled almost a dozen fairies, each with various abilities of their own. But, this was actually only one aspect of her strength. Ri’s main beast partner had become the Celestial Kun Peng.

One shouldn’t forget that Ri had subdued the Rainbow Kun Peng Clan long ago after journeying to the Dark Ocean. Back then, she had used her elvin bloodline to agitate the seal placed on them as punishment for disobeying her.

But now, much time had passed. Thanks to the celestial vats Dyon had access to, Ri didn’t have just one, but currently had three Celestial Kun Peng under her control. There was a reason the Sacharro Clan was still ranked 3^rd even with Dyon spending an entire month on a 1^st Tier planet. In fact, they were very close to overtaking 2^nd!

This was all to say that as Ri delved into the layers of comprehension hidden within her elvin bloodline, Dyon had learned to take advantage as well thanks to his newfound comprehension of his Primordial Yang.

In the end… The results spoke for themselves.

Shere’s claws extended almost thirty meters from her paw, each coated with devilishly dancing blue flames.

What once was a look of disdain on the vulture’s face turned to horror. But it could do nothing as its mighty feather defense was sheered into four pieces, allowing a rain of green blood to fall to the ground.

‘Now, Biibi.’ Dyon said without losing a beat.

Biibi beautiful slender figure rose, gorgeous white fur coating her body, only occasionally interrupted by swirls of golden fur.

Her lips parted, causing an oppressive crystal intent to sweep through the red fields.

At that moment, Sen crashed into the ground, but his lips were coated with a savage expression. The armored rat, who had always been proud of its defense, could only look on in shock as Sen’s white fur glistened with the sheen of a crystalline royal blue diamond. It could tell in an instant that its defense was nothing compared to this ape’s!

“Many thanks little sis.” Sen laughed, looking on toward the bull and the armored rat. His arm punched forward, passing through Biibi’s crystal formation in an instant.

If one was ignorant, it would almost seem as though Sen had attacked one of his own, but the next change was too shocking to think of such foolish things.

Linlin’s defense coated Sen’s arm. Biibi’s formation strengthened his punch. Shere’s flames descended along with him.

The bull and armored rat were shattered into a rain murky purple blood. They hardly had to the time to call out in pain before the half dead vulture collapsed from the skies atop of them.

The four beast babies roared into the skies.

No matter who it was in the elder tower, they could only watch on in silence. The Blood Phoenix Battalion slaughtered what remained of the beasts, the morale surging with every bloody stroke as though being reborn in blood…

Even though Dyon’s Battalion was ranked dead last in points, none of the elders had the heart to sneer at it.

Dyon had just swept through a planet ruled by celestials with nothing but saints.
