Eternal Beast Taming Family

On September 5th of the 17th year of the Chu Sheng calendar, three months after Chu Shengyuan's marriage.

The five cities of the demon kingdom, which had been peaceful since being subdued, were suddenly thrown into turmoil.

The unrest did not originate within the city, but rather from outside. It seemed the demon kingdom had finally realized that the five border cities had been out of contact for quite some time, and thus secretly sent envoys to investigate.

Unbeknownst to the Chu family, the shrewd demonic beasts had already informed their demon lord of the current state of these cities.

So on this day, without any prior warning, countless demonic beast armies instantly attacked the five cities from both above and below the mountains.

Almost instantly upon receiving the news, Chu Shengyuan hurriedly left the Chu family and headed towards the five cities.

When Chu Shengyuan appeared in Black Dragon City, there were already Rank 3 demonic beasts outside the city using their skills to attack the shields on the city walls.

Judging from the extent of the damage, it probably won't be long before the shield shatters completely, and countless monsters will pounce into the city from the sky.

The "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" wrapped around Chu Shengyuan's wrist instantly grew larger, covering the entire sky above Black Dragon City, and the domain of shadows instantly spread across the city.

They completely blocked the attacks of the siege monsters.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing black dragon, the opposing monster paused for a moment, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and exclaimed in surprise:

"There really is a black dragon in Black Dragon City. This is big news. It should be worth it for the Demon Lord to make a trip there in person."

Looking behind this rank-evolving demon beast, Chu Shengyuan saw mostly bird-like source beasts, and realized that the demon lord it spoke of must be the "Phoenix Feather Demon Lord".

Because the other cities were also under attack, Chu Shengyuan was anxious and didn't have time to talk to the ugly monster in front of him to get information. He gave the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor" the task of a quick victory.

Then, a dazzling light gathered in his palm, and a new source beast, almost identical in appearance and aura to the "Mysterious Black Dragon Emperor," appeared beside him.

Standing atop this new black dragon's head, it paid little attention to the upcoming battle in Black Dragon City, as if it believed the black dragon could handle things properly, and headed straight for the distant mountains.

The strange bird with fangs in its mouth stared in astonishment at the man riding the black dragon away, letting out a strange cry of incomprehension.

"Good heavens, it's already incredible that one black dragon has been born, but how come this person has another one under their command? Stop fighting, stop fighting, hurry back and tell the Demon Lord."

As he spoke, he turned around, intending to leave the battlefield.

However, the Black Dragon Emperor who remained would not let it leave so easily. The domain of shadow continued to spread in all directions, and in an instant, the entire battlefield and even the distant mountains were encompassed in the shadow.

……

Riding on a clone of the Black Dragon Emperor created using his twin source beast abilities, Chu Shengyuan arrived at another battlefield, where thousands of source beasts were also besieging a city.

The strongest source beast leading the pack was a realm lower than the one in Black Dragon City, only at the mortal realm.

Chu Shengyuan sent the black dragon beneath him into the battlefield, while he remained on the battlefield, lost in thought.

Could it be that the so-called Demon Lord received information that only Domain-level Origin Beasts were defending these five cities? So he only dispatched demon beasts of slightly higher realms, thinking that everything would be foolproof?

The time for gathering information should have been when I left the Five Cities, since if I wasn't there, the Five Cities would indeed only be guarded by Domain-level Source Beasts.

The fact that the human realm planted trees, Jing Yu and his corpse puppet, one stayed at the summit of Wandao Mountain to guard their main family, and the other two guarded the Bronze Mountain Range, only shows that the demon beast that was investigating the information had not gone deep enough.

However, once this battle stabilizes, the so-called Demon Lord will likely travel in person next time, or send out even more high-level demon beasts.

As for this attack, Chu Shengyuan will defend two cities alone, Jing Yu will defend one city, and his corpse puppet will defend another city. All four cities will definitely be able to be defended safely.

Among the five cities, Black Rock City is located after the four cities and is closer to the location of the Chu family's Wandao Mountain. Therefore, since no demonic beasts have descended here while the four cities have not been breached, there is no need for special defense.

This sudden siege lasted for about a day and a night.

The battles in the Black Dragon and Xuan Cang cities, which Chu Shengyuan defended, ended almost early. The battlefield was not particularly chaotic, as all the bloodstains, remains, and corpses were directly dissolved by the Shadow Domain.

The battle in Hanye City, which Jingyu was protecting, ended in just half a day. After all, as one of the four great elders protecting the country, his strength was not to be underestimated. However, there were also quite a few casualties in the city, and the cleanup of the battlefield lasted for quite a while.

The battle at Jade Face City, guarded by Jing Yu's corpse puppets, lasted quite a long time. It only managed to hold on thanks to reinforcements from other cities. However, the most powerful monster attacking the city was remarkably agile.

Sensing something was wrong, they quickly escaped using a strange spatial technique.

Even after the "Black Dragon Emperor of Mysterious Fortune" conducted a large-scale search, he still could not find any trace of it.

A shadow fell over Chu Shengyuan's heart. News of this battle would surely spread quickly, and by the time the Phoenix Feather Demon Lord reacted, the storm of attacks would probably be over.

After entrusting the handling of the battles in the four cities to the scribe, Chu Shengyuan quickly returned to Wandao Mountain.

……

April 10, 17th year of the First Holy Calendar.

After the last war, the Chu family did not focus on building defenses around the four cities to resist the potential invasion of the demon kingdom's army, but instead took the initiative to attack.

Having counted enough humans and demons, they headed towards the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, outside the four cities.

The demon beast legion, which had only undergone brief training, was sent to the battlefield.

This somber atmosphere also affected Wandao City, with more and more young men heading to the conscription office to sign up.

They have come to regard this land beneath their feet as something they must uphold and love for generations to come, and they are willing to give everything for the sake of civilization.

As warships built by Wandao City leaped out of the city, and all entertainment facilities within the city ceased operation, everything made way for resources needed for the war.

Every resident living in the Chu family's territory clearly understood that...

The war has begun!
