Chapter 227: History Must Poetize

Facing the infuriating Dark Crow and the Sudden Death King, General Ha once again activated his Domain.

This time, it fought with desperate ferocity.

It seemed to have made up its mind in a way it had never done before.

Under the stunned expressions of the Dark Crow and the Sudden Death King, a terrifying force flowed between General Ha’s teeth. The surrounding Gale converged on it, multiplying tenfold, twentyfold, thirtyfold… fortyfold… forty-onefold…

General Ha broke through its limits, enduring heart-wrenching pain. The blood flowing from between its teeth whirled in the Gale like red waves, and under this dance of blood, the Sky-Cleaving Sword it held in its mouth cracked under the strain of General Ha’s ferocious power.

“There’s no need, no need…” Lu Ran said from the side, his mouth twitching as General Ha, in its extreme rage, astonishingly pushed the Compression Skill to new heights, achieving a terrifying fiftyfold Energy Compression.

It’s worth noting that even the most adept pet beasts at Energy Compression on Blue Star have not reached this level.

Currently, the record for the highest Energy Compression was held by a First Generation of the Eagle Federation, whose pet beast managed a thirtyfold Energy Compression.

Shi Zhen once said that there are two shortcuts for a Domain to resonate with the void: first, the pet beast possesses Space capabilities; second, achieving resonance with the void through intense Energy Compression.

Now, General Ha seemed to be making a final, extreme attempt through Energy Compression.

“Erghhhh-“

Under General Ha’s roar, this time, due to the astonishing degree of Energy Compression, the Flow was terrifyingly fast, enveloping everyone in an instant. Even the Sudden Death King and the Dark Crow were caught off guard.

By the time the two regained their senses, they were no longer in any training secret realm.

Glaciers and snow-covered lands spread beneath their feet, and all sounds seemed to be swallowed by the blizzard.

General Ha stood atop an icy rock, with Winter’s Fang naturally falling from its tail into the snow. Following that, on both sides of the Domain, huge sword bodies rose, resembling towering ice and snow sword peaks, numbering in the hundreds.

These massive sword bodies, accompanied by General Ha’s piercing gaze, instantly shattered into tens of thousands of snowflakes. These ice crystal-like snowflakes, seemingly pieced together by six sharp teeth, radiated a sharp light, allowing themselves to sweep through the storm, rolling all the nature force within the domain.

Caught in the blizzard, Dark Crow and Sudden Death King froze in shock as scars began to appear on their bodies. Even with Sudden Death King’s astonishing defense, the snowflakes drifting past caused its scales to crack piece by piece.

The power of the ice and snow invaded through the wounds, causing Sudden Death King’s eyes to widen in disbelief.

“Roar-“

It stepped back, shocked, staring at General Ha, completely unable to comprehend how General Ha, who had not evolved and was merely an Upper Commander species, could injure it.

At this moment, as each snowflake drifted past, Sudden Death King felt an intense pain, as if it had been slashed several times in an instant by Blizzard Sword Intent. Although each attack was incredibly weak, the cumulative damage of thousands of attacks in an instant still inflicted significant harm on Sudden Death King.

Sudden Death King was already suffering, and Dark Crow, with even weaker defense, was even more bewildered. Crow of Curses covered its mouth and tried to burrow into Sudden Death King’s wings, while saying:

“Ah, ah, ah, it hurts so much, Thunder Dragon General, quickly fold your wings, enter the Dragon King’s Shield form!!”

“Roar-“

Dark Crow and Sudden Death King realized, after their commotion, that they had directly forced out General Ha’s domain.

“Howl-“

Seeing that the myriad snowflake sword intents could not inflict severe damage on Sudden Death King, General Ha was quite dissatisfied. It immediately manipulated the snowflake blades freely, forming 24 ice swords in mid-air.

Among these 24 ice swords, 12 floated in the air and 12 were embedded into the ground, forming a sword formation. In that instant, the power of the entire domain seemed to concentrate within this sword formation. Positioned at the center, Sudden Death King immediately felt an extreme chill, making its form stiff and cold. Just when it was bewildered, thinking General Ha was about to finish it off, Lu Ran timely intervened through telepathy.

“Stop, stop, stop, that’s enough.”

“General Ha, stop.”

At Lu Ran’s command, the domain shattered into pieces. The Sudden Death King and the Dark Crow blinked, the snowy winds and scenes around them disappearing as if they were mere illusions.

However, the reality of their wounds was undeniable. The Sudden Death King, covered in scars from the battle, watched as the Dark Crow, bloodied and nearly bald, emerged from between its wings, tears streaming down its face in realization of the truth.

From then on, it vowed to keep its mouth shut.

“Woof!!!” Meanwhile, across from them, General Ha growled fiercely, feeling somewhat vindicated.

But then, seeing the fragments of the Sky-Cleaving Sword and teeth scattered around, which reverted it back to its toothless old lady form, General Ha trembled and rolled in pain on the ground.

“Whimper (Wait until I evolve.)”

Even without teeth, its spirit remained unbroken.

Lu Ran, witnessing the entire scene, grabbed his hair in frustration. Had General Ha just tentatively used its domain?

Powered by the immense Wind Force, it had created a resonant void, a Domain Space.

Then, using Blizzard Sword Intent and Winter’s Fang as the core of the domain, it crafted a formidable ice and snow Sword Domain that integrated both offense and control.

Although unable to incorporate the power of Sword Grass this time, considering it was General Ha’s first attempt at using a Sword Domain, Lu Ran was utterly amazed by the potential for future refinement.

Indeed, it had succeeded.

To think, not just on Blue Star.

Even on the Star-Moon Continent, there were no records of a pet beast understanding the domain below level 30.

Was General Ha the first of its kind?

Such an achievement was unique in this era, perhaps even worthy of prominent mention in the annals of the Beast Taming Era.



Watching General Ha roll around, Lu Ran felt a surge of excitement:

“Don’t worry, once you’ve undergone your first-stage evolution, you can have a decisive battle with the Dark Crow and the Sudden Death King.”

Saying this, he took out the Divine Deer pendant and released three streams of healing power towards General Ha, the Sudden Death King, and the Dark Crow.

Although General Ha successfully used the Sword Domain, the cost was enormous. It’s worth noting that its teeth, enhanced with exquisite Space resources, were completely shattered.

Moreover, the Sky-Cleaving Sword, forged from rare Space ore, was also utterly destroyed.

However, the effect of the Sword Domain was indeed powerful, managing to penetrate the formidable defense of the Sudden Death King and causing substantial damage.

Unfortunately, the species gap was still too vast. Lu Ran estimated that even if General Ha had exerted all its strength, it could at most have severely injured the Sudden Death King. But for the Sudden Death King, which can convert damage into vitality, a severe injury was no different from a minor one.

It might be better to wait until after evolving to fight again.

Then there was the Dark Crow.

Not skilled in defense, it would be tragic if General Ha pulled it into its domain.

“Caw!! General Ha is formidable!!!” Once healed, the Dark Crow dared not speak out of turn and immediately started complimenting General Ha.

However, another soul inside it was furiously criticizing, almost like having dual crow personalities.

[Caw! From now on, keep a distance of 1000 meters, perform curse sniping from beyond 1000 meters. Can your domain expand to 1000 meters???]

Compared to the composed Dark Crow, the Sudden Death King’s expression turned bitter, not expecting General Ha to master the Sword Domain so quickly and to be capable of injuring him before evolving. If it evolved again, that would be too much to handle.

It had just become a form that no one could harm, and it would be unfortunate if it became the team’s punching bag again within a month.

At that moment, no one would have guessed that in a farce in the training secret realm, Lu Ran’s weakest pet beast, with its astonishingly high potential and Talent, would begin to utilize its Domain Skill at level 30. As an Upper Commander base species, it caused much distress to two Overlords.

…

Some time later.

In Youxiong Ancient Town, within the large estate of the Youxiong Clan.

In a separate courtyard, a round dimensional gate hovered a few centimeters off the ground, flickering with a mixture of blue, purple, white, and pink lights.

Under the direction of the Youxiong Clan members, one beastmaster after another from various places entered the gate, choosing to challenge this real-world secret realm.

“You’ve come out.”

Youxiong Anlin was chatting with a peer outside the courtyard when he saw Lu Ran, wearing sunglasses and a mask, slowly approaching. He stepped back and said, “I thought you had just beaten someone up and left.”

“What are you talking about? During our fight, my pet beast was holding back its power. I didn’t actually cripple you,” Lu Ran earnestly replied.

Youxiong Anlin: ???

That hurts, doesn’t it?

He already regretted listening to the Panda Guardian’s advice to challenge Lu Ran. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Damn it, knowing the guy is a freak, why did he still hope for the best?

So what if he learned to shape the artistic conception of a near-legend creature?

It’s just a near-legend creature. Is a near-legend creature as rare as Lu Ran? This beast is one of a kind on Blue Star.

Next time the Panda Guardian himself should take the challenge, or let his uncle, the Living Fossil guild leader, a second-generation beastmaster, do it.

“Ha ha ha ha.” Nearby, a young man was laughing uncontrollably, clearly aware of Youxiong Anlin getting thoroughly beaten by Lu Ran the day before.

It wasn’t just him; now, on the Xia Country beast taming forum, everyone knew about Youxiong Anlin’s overconfident challenge against Lu Ran and his instant defeat.

The rising atmosphere of the Youxiong Clan, just built up by the Panda Guardian, was shattered by General Ha with a single sword slash.

“Lu Ran, Du Yuan also said he wants to spar with you,” Youxiong Anlin pointed at the laughing young man.

Du Yuan, Youxiong Anlin’s teammate from the official strategy team and a Space beastmaster, stopped smiling.

“Get lost,” he cursed at Youxiong Anlin, and said, “I didn’t say that, go spar yourself.”

“You guys…” Lu Ran looked at these two prodigies of Xia Country, the Golden Generation, and twitched the corner of his mouth, saying, “You guys should go challenge the Eagle Federation instead of always trying to beat me up. Anyway, Youxiong Anlin, just go ahead into the trial secret realm, right?”

“But what are you two doing here? Have you finished your challenges?”

“We were going to enter, but then this big news just broke out, and we were discussing it,” Du Yuan said.

“What big news?” Lu Ran was surprised.



“Of course, it might not be big news to you,” Youxiong Anlin took out his phone, showing the screen to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran glanced briefly and was slightly stunned.

“Huh? I actually missed the system announcement.”

[Women are as capable as men! Four members of the Fourth Generation from Xia Country break through the Legendary Secret Realm!]

[Congratulations to the level 1 beastmasters, Sound of the Fallen Nation, Five Poisons Cult Holy Maiden, and Summer Gun God for conquering the level 1 Legendary Secret Realm ‘Gourd Mountain’ and starting the Path of Legend.]
