Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Several days later, the day arrived for the evolution ritual to be performed on the Abyss Dragon.

Zhou Heng, still accompanied by five shrunken beasts, headed to the area where he had previously initiated the evolution ritual for the Emperor Yan Qingfeng.

Because this is a sea area, although it had recently been ravaged by the Emperor Flame of the Azure Phoenix, which almost evaporated the seawater in this area, it quickly returned to its original state when seawater from other places flowed back in.

The Zhou family's senior members were already waiting nearby, because they knew that Zhou Heng would return here after a few days of rest to begin the evolution ritual for the Netherworld Demon Dragon.

Zhou Heng exchanged pleasantries with them, and then, just like last time, the Zhou family members, led by the old patriarch and the old lady of the Zhou family, retreated to a distance, leaving the space to Zhou Heng to do as he pleased.

Emperor Yan Qingfeng, Devouring Star Kunpeng, Titan Lord, and Fortune Qilin King also left Zhou Heng's side, leaving only the Netherworld Demon Dragon as his tamed beast.

Before the official start of the evolution ceremony, it had been rehearsed many times in advance, so without Zhou Heng saying anything, the Netherworld Demon Dragon leaped off Zhou Heng's shoulder and restored its size to 3,500 meters.

The Abyss Dragon opened its massive maw, and Zhou Heng waved his hand to take out a purple storage ring, throwing all eight hundred-plus eighth-tier spiritual items and twenty-nine ninth-tier spiritual items inside into the Abyss Dragon's mouth.

The Netherworld Dragon swallowed all these high-level spiritual items without even chewing them.

"roar!"

With an uncontrollable roar, the Abyss Dragon was instantly struck by a violent force.

Generally speaking, this step is the most dangerous part of the evolution process. If the Abyss Dragon does not show signs of autonomous evolution, it is particularly easy to be seriously injured at this step, or even explode and die, resulting in evolution failure.

However, since the Abyss Dragon has shown signs of autonomous evolution, the violent energy has a direction to be released. It is all poured into the Dragon Blood Fallen Angel pattern in the seven blood moon patterns on the surface of the Abyss Dragon's body, making the seven Dragon Blood Fallen Angel patterns on the Abyss Dragon's body gradually become clearer from blurry, shining with golden light, and becoming more and more lifelike.

The Abyss Dragon slowly closed its eyes. As energy was poured in, the seven patterns of fallen angels with dragon blood became more and more lifelike, as if they had their own consciousness. They struggled back and forth on the Abyss Dragon's body. Combined with the Abyss Dragon's ferocious appearance, this scene appeared extremely eerie and evil.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the aura of the Netherworld Dragon changed constantly, giving people a chilling feeling.

Zhou Heng, being the beast tamer of the Netherworld Demon Dragon, was not significantly affected.

However, all the Zhou family members in the distance felt very uncomfortable.

Instead of frowning, they all wore happy expressions, because this meant that the evolution of the Abyss Dragon was going very smoothly.

The Abyss Dragon is an extremely ferocious beast; the more evil its aura, the more powerful it is.

To put it bluntly, the Abyss Dragon is like a sharp blade. Although it is extremely evil, as long as the person wielding this blade stays true to themselves, there won't be any major problems.

After all, between beast tamers and beast tamers, the beast tamer is always the one in control.

The Zhou family members were well aware of Zhou Heng's personality. In their eyes, Zhou Heng was kind-hearted and gentle, which was a perfect complement to the rather evil beast tamer.

The uncle was awestruck by the evolving Abyss Dragon, and couldn't help but gasp, "The Abyss Dragon's aura is truly domineering!"

The old patriarch of the Zhou family was overjoyed: "It's good to be a little domineering! Heng'er is the heir of our Zhou family. He can't just be compassionate; he also needs to have the wrath of thunder."

Jingyin's great-uncle chimed in: "I heard that Yuheng's Netherworld Demon Dragon was obtained by the Jinwu Li family from the Red Sun Society. The Red Sun Society's leader, Blood Fiend King, also has a Netherworld Demon Dragon as his tamed beast, but that one is female, while Yuheng's is male."

Madam Zhou knew the whole story: "Heng'er's cub is the offspring of that mother dragon. It was originally just a mid-level overlord-quality Eternal Night Demon Dragon, but later it evolved into a Nether Abyss Demon Dragon, and now it is about to evolve into a Saint-Slaying Demon Dragon."

Uncle Shi casually remarked, "There are only two contract slots for mythical-quality beast tamers of the same race at the same time. Heng'er is about to occupy one, and the Red Sun Society will have one less in the future."

Father Zhou was both proud and pleased: "Blood Fiend King probably didn't expect our Heng'er to have an SSS-level talent, nor did he expect that our Heng'er would evolve a mid-level overlord-quality beast into a mythical quality so quickly."

The old patriarch Zhou didn't take the Red Sun Society too seriously: "The evolution of mythical-quality beasts is inherently difficult. Even if Heng'er doesn't occupy any of them, the Red Sun Society doesn't know when they'll be able to cultivate a Saint-Slaying Demon Dragon. Heng'er only occupied one contract slot, and there's still one empty. The Red Sun Society should be content."

Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly: "That's true. After all, not everyone can be like our Heng'er, who can succeed 100% every time he evolves his beast."

Old Madam Zhou patted Zhou's mother's hand: "This is Heng'er's talent, something no one can envy."

The others also spoke up, congratulating Zhou's father and mother on having such a remarkable son.

Gradually, a thick purple mist began to spread from the Netherworld Dragon, and scenes appeared one after another within the purple mist.

A noble prince's arrogance led to the downfall of his kingdom; a young nobleman's lustful desires brought him the revenge of a rival; a valiant knight, blinded by rage, killed an innocent man; a power-hungry minister, betrayed by his own people, was murdered by his children; a lazy and incompetent rich young man had his fortune stolen by his brothers; a petty singer, consumed by jealousy of other singers, died of melancholy; and an unrestrained lord died from overeating…

As the area affected by the purple mist continues to expand, more and more similar scenes emerge.

Ordinary people would be captivated by it at first glance, and even low-level beast tamers would be shaken. Anyone who gets even a trace of the mist would have their evil thoughts stirred up, becoming arrogant, lustful, angry, greedy, lazy, envious, and gluttonous.

It has been out of control ever since.

Fortunately, the area Zhou Heng chose was far away from where the Zhou family members gathered, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Otherwise, after today, many of the weaker members of the Zhou family would definitely have been affected by the power of the Seven Sins that the Netherworld Demon Dragon had unintentionally released, and become vessels of the power of the Seven Sins.

The purple mist, centered on the Abyss Dragon, covered an area with a diameter of 300,000 kilometers before coming to a stop.

It stopped spreading outwards, but instead became increasingly deep and gradually darkened and turned black.

The Zhou family members further away were obscured by the fog and could no longer see Zhou Heng and the Netherworld Demon Dragon clearly.

But they dared not use their mental powers to investigate, and could only choose to wait.
