Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!.

Chapter 525 Shocking Misfortune
Ji Tiansao explained the reason.

He was teleported to the headquarters of the Evil God Cult by a rumored curse. Although he escaped immediately, he was still hunted down by an Emperor-level Slayer.

The Emperor Slayer, an evolved form of the Lord Slayer, is typically fifty meters tall and resembles a giant.

Although he escaped from the Emperor's clutches with the help of the Ten Thousand Crows Pot, he was still hit by the Emperor's skill, [Sinful Personality], before escaping.

The sinful personality can cause an evil personality to split off from Ji Tiansao's soul.

This evil personality is the culprit that caused the Wan Ya Pot to crack.

The evil personality briefly gained control of Ji Tiansao's body, and then did something that Ji Tiansao would never dare to do in his entire life... He contracted thirteen pet beasts and used up all the remaining contract slots in one go.

Ji Tiansao's talent is Misfortune Calamity, a talent that Beast Tamer talents can share with their pets. Contracting thirteen pets is equivalent to suddenly gaining thirteen extra legendary talents of Misfortune Calamity.

Ji Tiansao only contracted one flying broom, yet he was already called a 'broom star'. Now there are thirteen of them, making his bad luck unprecedentedly massive.

The curse is spread randomly, and you are teleported again randomly.

This time, he was teleported to a high-level meeting of the Evil God Cult, standing on the round table where they were holding their meeting, with more than a dozen emperor-level powerhouses staring at him.

Wan Ya Hu did everything in his power to help him escape.

Although Ji Tiansao escaped, Wan Ya Hu was hit by the 'Broken Emperor's Myriad Spirits Nail' manipulated by Tu Di while protecting him, and it cracked.

Upon hearing that the crack in the Ten Thousand Crows Pot was caused by the Broken Emperor's Ten Thousand Spirits Nail, Li Cunxu knew that one of the forty-nine Imperial Arms slots had been freed up.

The Raven Jar is damaged and will be downgraded 100%, falling out of the Imperial Arms tier.

The Emperor's Destroyer's Nail is very famous, extremely famous. It is also an Imperial Arm, and one of the most well-known Imperial Arms, because it has destroyed more than ten Imperial Arms so far.

The Emperor's Nail of All Souls has no other abilities; its only ability is to deal with Imperial Arms. It was created by the Bronze God King specifically to counter Imperial Arms and is known as the 'Civil War God' among Imperial Arms.

The Imperial Arms: Seven Seed Gourd was shattered by the combined power of the Emperor's Destruction Nail and the Thunder Hammer.

Now that the Ten Thousand Crows Pot has been removed from the Imperial Arms roster, it's the perfect time for the Seven Seeds Gourd to take its place, but that's not what Li Cunxu is thinking about right now.

Rather, the priority is not to save Ji Tiansao, but to quickly leave this incredibly unlucky and invincible king.

Ji Tiansao has contracted thirteen pet beasts, making a total of fourteen when added to the one he had before. Combined with his own talent, he has gathered fifteen unlucky calamities around him.

I dare not save you; your bad luck is too overwhelming.

After saying that, Li Licun was actually preparing to run away.

The bad luck brought by the fifteen misfortunes was terrifying; even through the barrier of microscopic moss, Li Cunxu was terrified.

But seeing Ji Tiansao writing so rapidly, Li Cunxu couldn't help but stop and glance at it.

[Don't worry about the bad luck brought by my thirteen newly contracted pets; they... didn't survive the ordeal, they all died.]

Upon seeing this, Li Cunxu was stunned. He didn't know whether to say that Ji Tiansao was lucky or unlucky.

The death of the thirteen contracted pets was actually a good thing for Ji Tiansao; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the bad luck brought by the fifteen calamities of misfortune.

However, it's not a good thing either. Ji Tiansao killed thirteen contracted pets, and the backlash from the contracts might cause Ji Tiansao to be stuck at a certain level for life, unable to break through.

Moreover, it wasted thirteen contract slots.

[Please, save me! A legendary, emperor-level resource will be your reward after I'm rescued.]

After much deliberation, Li Cunxu decided to save Ji Tiansao, as it wouldn't require much effort.

Furthermore, the legendary Emperor-level resources are well worth acquiring. However, the rescue isn't for now. Li Cunxu still wants to explore this place and evolve his talent. If he's rescued now, he'll inevitably be affected by bad luck. He needs to plan for any unforeseen events first.

I'll explore this place thoroughly first, then I'll release you.

【Alright, but before that, I need to ask you for a favor. Quickly notify the Alliance and have them create another Imperial Arm to fill the vacant slot left by the Crow's Lair.】

The number of Imperial Arms slots is fixed at forty-nine, no more and no less. The Evil God Cult knows that they have demoted the Rank of the Crow Jar, so they will definitely introduce a Noble Phantasm to upgrade it to an Imperial Arm, thus filling the Imperial Arm slot vacated by the Crow Jar.

Even if the Wan Ya Pot is repaired, it will not have its original location.

The Alliance faction permanently loses one Imperial Arms, while the Evil God faction permanently gains one more Imperial Arms.

Li Cunxu didn't want this Imperial Arms slot to fall into the hands of the Evil God Cult, so he wrote it down on the paper.

[Can the Myriad Qi Bottle repair your Myriad Crows Pot, allowing it to quickly return to the Imperial Arms level and reclaim your spot?]

The Myriad Qi Bottle, one of the forty-nine Imperial Arms, can produce omnipotent Myriad Qi, which can repair everything—Imperial Arms, resources, and even divine essence.

Currently, this Imperial Arm is in the hands of the Alliance.

[No, the Myriad Crows Pot has been fundamentally damaged. Even using the Myriad Qi Bottle, it will take a hundred years to repair it.]

The drop in rank of an Imperial Arm is a dangerous sign for Imperial Arms, as it gives other Tier 9 Noble Phantasms the opportunity to take its place.

With the Man Crow Pot having fallen from the Imperial Arms rank for a hundred years and being known to the Evil God Cult, it was almost certain that the Man Crow Pot would lose its Imperial Arms status.

"It seems this is the price paid for suppressing the fifteen unlucky talents in the Ten Thousand Crows Pot."

Li Cunxu was a little alarmed. The bad luck brought by the fifteen unlucky talents was so bad that even the Imperial Arms couldn't withstand it, and it also caused the Ten Thousand Crows Pot to lose its qualification as an Imperial Arms.

However, the Man-Crow Jar is not destined to permanently lose its eligibility as an Imperial Arm.

If the Raven Jar is repaired in the future, and other Imperial Arms fall in rank, it can take the opportunity to seize their spots and return to the Imperial Arms tier.

Leaving the microscopic moss, Li Cunxu cautiously made his way towards the Tree of Life.

Along the way, they encountered all sorts of strange and unusual plants, some of which even Li Cunxu had never seen before.

Many of these plants pose a deadly danger.

For example, the Goddess Apple, with its bright red apples hanging on the branches, exudes an enticing fragrance, even more alluring than the scent of roses. Even Li Cunxu couldn't resist it, but once he ate it, he immediately died.

The Phantom Mushroom spreads mushroom spores; once inhaled, one becomes completely immersed in its hallucinatory world, unable to extricate oneself.

The man-eating tree is so powerful that if you get within 10,000 meters of it, it will entangle you with its vines and devour you; even a monarch-level being cannot escape.

……

However, Li Cunxu managed to escape these dangers unscathed.

The trick to dodging it is actually quite simple: send out a cursed raven to scout ahead.

The Cursed Raven has a time reset, and can be resurrected after death.

In this way, the cursed ravens used their lives to help Li Cunxu find a safe path.

"Thanks a lot."

Li Cunxu stroked the feathers of the cursed raven and thanked it softly.
