Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Chapter 102 Golden Light Egg

Bottom of the fissure in the ground.

The strange patterns embedded on the ice surface are a light golden-red color, without any artificial stiffness.

However, the loops are intertwined, the curves are winding, and the branches are numerous, making it so complex that it is dazzling at a glance.

The dark and profound spiritual energy gathered from all directions.

According to the spiritual eye, streams of energy appeared to float in mid-air, with waves of intense light spreading outwards.

Soon, the reverberations between the rock walls and the low-frequency rumble of the ground merged into one, as if a great creature had come to life, its pulse beating powerfully, and a surging power permeating the entire space.

Zhu Ran focused intently and continued working.

The ritual was only part of the reversal experiment.

It connects with the environment and draws upon the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Ultimately, it's all about that final result.

Potions are equally important.

Zhu Ran extracted the remaining half of the life essence from inside the corpse in the Gathering Yuan Cauldron.

This time, it was applied to the corpses of the five kings of beasts.

Five corpses were visible, their surfaces shimmering with wisps of light, like smoke or mist, constantly rotating and slowly melting, eventually producing a thick, heavy medicinal liquid that shimmered with a rainbow-like luster.

In an instant, the surrounding air became heavy and oppressive, as if the five kings of beasts had come to life, their wills like knives and their laws like swords, shaking Zhu Ran's mind.

Zhu Ran swallowed another Soul-Replenishing Pill.

This was his first time pulling off a complete A-level comeback, even with mental preparation and ample supplies.

However, putting it into practice has proven extremely difficult.

but----

We must succeed!

The belief in victory is hidden deep in one's heart.

Zhu Ran calmed his mind and kept his hands as steady as an anvil fixed on a forging table, continuing the process step by step, slowly and firmly.

"Boom!"

Deep within the earth's fissures, earthquakes are erupting more and more frequently, and the tremors are becoming increasingly intense.

If one were suspended in mid-air and looked down at the whole scene, one would see that the entire fissure was glowing, like the eye of a god split open, seeping out seven-colored light as blood. Clouds and smoke swirled, and mist was hazy. A grand yet eerie aura swept along with the gale to every corner of the secret realm.

A secret human settlement.

Liang Baizhou gazed at the distant horizon, pacing back and forth, looking uneasy.

Wei Dan, Yuwen Qingtian, Meng Baixuan, Gui Zizhi, and Yin Xiong looked out at the barrier, where countless extraordinary creatures were gathering and the dark, surging waves were constantly piling up. Their hearts were heavy, and they felt a suffocating sense of impending storm.

Shang Yunying, Qin Yin, Yu Manrong, and Mei Hui—of the three hundred people who participated in the secret realm training, more than 80% have arrived at their base, but 20% are either dead or missing, and the specific circumstances remain unclear.

But in other parts of the secret realm.

One after another, ancient cave dwellings, sealed in dust, broke through the soil and came into existence.

A dazzling light tore through the sky, and streams of imposing energy rushed towards the direction of the crevice in the ground.

"Guardian Spirit Evolution, forging an invincible weapon body; those who stand in my way shall perish!"

"Hahaha, after waiting for over a hundred years, we will absolutely not give it up this time!"

"Guys, stop fighting amongst yourselves. We recovered too late and missed our chance. Let's wait until later and then decide what to do!"

Time slips away, bit by bit.

At some point, Qin Taozhi, Crocodile Sister, A Dou, and Ma Ye disappeared from Zhu Ran's side.

Those left to oversee and protect the area were only Tang Jiamu and the frail and elderly Marquis, who had to rely on a cane at all times.

"The commotion is getting bigger and bigger."

"The battles are becoming more and more frequent."

"These past two days, Xiao Qin was also injured, breaking a rib—"

The Marquis leaned on his cane, his wrinkled face etched with worry.

I've heard that many of the kings of beasts have been killing each other.

As heretics who have intruded into the secret realm, and appearing in such a core area as the Earth Fissure, humans are bound to be in a fierce battle if they are encountered by the King of Beasts.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.

But it's impossible to give up halfway.

"You stay here and watch over things, I'm going out for a bit."

An unusual aura was sensed approaching.

Tang Jiamu stood up, and the two black-striped leopards responded and suddenly darted out, transforming into a streak of black light.

The Marquis stared at him silently.

The silent stone monkey beside him prepared for battle.

"babble!"

In mid-air, a frost butterfly with broken wings hovered.

Don't panic, Xi is here.

Anyone who dares to intrude, anyone who dares to obstruct, will be met with a single Ice Wheel Slash from Xi!

"roar----"

The Leaky Turtle, the Husky Pig, the Hercules Frog, and the Little Tiger, when they get together, are a formidable fighting force.

Including the animal head chain.

After a few days of recuperation, the aftereffects of the lightning tribulation almost completely disappeared.

Now, it is a complete B-level combatant. If it encounters an A-level weapon or beast, as long as it is willing to go all out, it is not a pipe dream to hold it off for more than ten seconds.

"call!"

Suddenly, a heavy, rapid breath came from behind.

Zhu Ran collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat. Even after taking the last Soul-Replenishing Pill, not a trace of color returned to his face.

"Buzzing!"

The potion is ready!

This time, no medicine was needed. With the help of the ritual, the entire space was like being surrounded by an array, shimmering with light and colorful dreams.

The old magic mirror stands in the very center.

The mysteriously glowing liquid carefully avoided its mirror surface, automatically climbing onto its frame and adhering to it like paint, forming a thin layer.

The turnaround has begun!

Zhu Ran suppressed his excitement and calmed his breathing.

But he forgot that he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

Time and again, he was drained of his energy, and time and again he relied on medication to get through it.

His body had already reached its limit.

Therefore, just relax a little and let go of that tension.

Zhu Ran's head lolled to the side, and he fainted on the spot.

"babble!"

The broken-winged frost butterfly immediately descended and landed on the ice, anxiously guarding its master's side.

The little tigers also gathered around, tugging at Zhu Ran's trouser legs and collar, worried about his condition.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm exhausted."

The Four Seasons Robe transmitted a voice, revealing a hint of admiration: "This experiment is far too complicated. I counted, there are more than two hundred steps in total, yet it was completed in two days. It's inhuman, truly inhuman."

Xuexi breathed a sigh of relief.

With Aunt Siji around, the protective clothing is fireproof, frostproof, electric shockproof, and poisonproof—it's practically an all-purpose protective suit, so there's absolutely no need to worry about Zhu Ran getting injured.

Next, all we have to do is wait, right?

Waiting for Grandpa Mirror to wake up.

By then, it should be able to stand at the same level as Xi, at the mature A-grade level, looking down on its kind and invincible.

"Click!"

The ice layer suddenly cracked.

A vortex appeared in mid-air, and a golden egg of light faintly emerged, floating up and down in the depths of the vortex.

"Earth changes?!"

The Four Seasons Robe trembled and screamed, "This...this...how could it be such a coincidence that you just happened to appear here?"

"BOOM!!!"

In the distance, the rock strata trembled violently, and sharp-edged beasts carved out a tunnel and rushed towards them.

Judging from the noise, there are definitely more than one.

In just a moment, all directions—east, west, south, and north—were shaking as one after another, kings of beasts, carrying a majestic and invincible aura of terror, charged forward.
