Chapter 615: Chapter 486: Peak Monarch, Awakening the Ancient Beast Soul
“Zhan Ye…” Chu Mu was stunned.
No words could describe the waves of emotion surging in his heart!!
Countless skulls, broken or crushed, torn and mangled, littered the cave floor, the legs of the stone barrier space clogged with debris. Guts, blood, bile, and bodily fluids filled the entire mountain of corpses!
Black-shadowed Zhan Ye lay alone on that gruesome mound. Beneath its feet was a heap of high-ranking creatures – not just the corpses of the thousand-leg centipedes, but the towering pride of a true battle master!
Zhan Ye’s soul was proud, but Chu Mu had never imagined that it would need the bodies of hundreds of centipedes to fill it!
Chu Mu should feel grateful, grateful that he had never given up on Zhan Ye, not even for a moment. To abandon Zhan Ye would be to forsake one of the strongest lives in the world. Although its soul was now powerful, one day it would synchronize with its strength and stand at the very peak of the Soul Pet Field!!
…
“Thump!!!”
“Thump!!!!!!!!”
Finally, the fifty-meter-high rock barrier, hundreds of times harder than ordinary rock, was shattered by a violent impact!!
Rock fragments splashed and ricocheted off both sides of the wall, while large stones fell heavily from above, hitting the mountain of corpses.
The barrier’s collapse caused the corpses of the centipedes to sink, rapidly covering and soaking half of the Abyss’s surface area.
At that moment, in the pitch-black abyss filled with the stench of death, pairs of red eyes opened. The star-like eyes adorned the dark space, evoking not a sense of heavenly beauty, but instead struck fear down the spines of the onlookers due to the countless horrifying creatures!!
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!!!! Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!!!!”
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!!!! Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!!!!!!!”
Half of the centipedes in the Abyss awakened from their slumber due to the blood of their fallen comrades!!
Their glowing red eyes all stared at the shattered rock barrier, their bodies slowly writhing in the darkness. This indicated that they could launch an attack at any time!
Once an attack ensued, hundreds or even thousands of centipedes would swarm Zhan Ye’s position. No matter how strong Zhan Ye was, it couldn’t possibly face such a fearsome tidal wave of centipedes!
Wave after wave of insect-like energy assaulted Chu Mu. This was the first time he had been so close to a massive nest teeming with Tenth-Rank Commander Soul Pets. Even with his numerous experiences and composure, he couldn’t help but shudder and tremble at the sight of these countless centipedes!!
The centipedes had already locked onto the area’s location, leaving no time for Chu Mu to dawdle.
Chu Mu bit his tongue and jumped down from the cave opening, using the Demon Charm Shadow to float to Zhan Ye’s front.
“Hu hu hu hu hu!!!!!!!!!!!”
Rank odors and the stench of blood assaulted him, making it feel as if a Ninth-Level wind-type skill was sweeping across!
Chu Mu could feel Zhan Ye’s life hanging by a thread, frail and on the verge of death. He couldn’t afford to hesitate and instead quickly took out a Tenth-Level Healing Potion worth millions from his Space Ring.
Conserving medicine had never crossed Chu Mu’s mind, as he believed that an expensive potion could save his Soul Pet’s life at a critical moment.
“Zhan Ye, swallow it quickly!” Chu Mu forced Zhan Ye’s mouth open and stuffed the potion inside.
With its eyelids drooping, Zhan Ye didn’t even know that it was Chu mu standing in front of him..”
The Tenth-Level healing potion took effect immediately. Zhan Ye’s vitality began to recover rapidly, reaching 70% within moments…
However, Zhan Ye’s life was not being drained by the self-healing body alone…
Zhan Ye was an Eighth Rank, Ninth Stage Soul Pet. The Courageous Sting’s Heart empowered Zhan Ye to reach the Tenth Rank.
But now, Zhan Ye had reached the High-Level Monarch level at the Tenth Rank. This was the very limit of the limits.
Zhan Ye’s physical strength had been exhausted. The power granted by the Courageous Sting’s Heart and Horned Beast’s pattern began to fade. This was a soul depletion, unrelated to the physical life force.
Chu Mu’s bloodied tongue bit down harder. He couldn’t bear to watch Zhan Ye’s life and soul wither away. He had to awaken Zhan Ye from its sleepwalk toward death and make it realize that he was standing in front of it, reigniting its will to live.
Chu Mu’s bloodied lips moved, reciting a spell. This was the soul contract spell!!
Chu Mu had to provide Zhan Ye with the greatest stimulation, to make the increasingly fuzzy-minded creature sense his presence!
“Eighth Soul Contract…” The soul-to-soul vow materialized as a symbol of a soul contract, appearing as a starry blue, swirling around Chu Mu’s body.
“Eighth Soul Contract, release!” Chu Mu firmly recited the soul contract removal spell.
The Soul Contract Removal was the only method Chu Mu could think of to stimulate Zhan Ye when its soul was on the verge of withering away. Chu Mu believed that Zhan Ye would never want to die alone with a desolate soul!
The removal of the soul contract had a strong impact on the souls of the Soul Pet Master and the Soul Pet, like a hammer carrying punishment and sin repeatedly striking their souls, causing both the Soul Pet Master and the Soul Pet’s souls to tremble violently!!
Zhan Ye’s soul was only near death, so when it was hit with this impact, its soul trembled!!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye’s soul let out a roar!!
As long as the soul wasn’t completely destroyed, the soul oath would not break, and Zhan Ye would remain unswervingly loyal until death.
Chu Mu’s face turned pale instantly, but amidst the paleness, he grinned, because he sensed Zhan Ye’s soul-rejecting roar and its fierce resistance against the soul contract’s breaking.
Both the Soul Pet Master and the Soul Pet must agree to remove the soul contract. Chu Mu’s unilateral removal would only bring a violent mental shock to him and his Soul Pet.
Therefore, it was impossible for Chu Mu and Zhan Ye’s souls to be severed.
“Zhan Ye, wake up, we’ve made it back!” Chu Mu spoke to Zhan Ye with his own soul.
The soul shock finally caused Zhan Ye to open its eyes. In a blur, it saw the person it most wanted to see, almost like a hallucination before death.
Zhan Ye could tell the difference between reality and hallucination. Chu Mu was genuinely standing in front of it, and beside him were Mo Ye and Ghost Dome King.
“Huff~~~~~~”
Zhan Ye exhaled a heavy breath of corpse energy from its nose. Its body trembled as it struggled to stand up, and although its eyes were exhausted, they were filled with scalding tears at this moment!
At this moment, what Zhan Ye was fulfilling wasn’t the tiny regret of Chu Mu not witnessing its glory, but an overwhelming sense of gratitude that could make even its soul cry. This feeling of gratitude was strong enough to cause hot tears to brim in Zhan Ye’s eyes, which had never shed a tear throughout its life!
…
“Let’s leave this place.” Chu Mu saw that Zhan Ye had stood back up, wiped away the moisture from the corners of its eyes, and began chanting a spell to recall it back into the Soul Pet Space.
“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!!!!!! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The centipede storm swept in from behind Chu Mu, hitting his body and causing it to shake involuntarily.
Thousands of centipedes were wriggling!!!
Closely packed together, the entire abyss was filled with these creatures that had thousands of legs. Their eyes were red as they frantically pounced towards them!!
At the front of the swarm was a Thousand-leg Centipede that was nearly two hundred meters long. It was a frightening being with an outright High-Level Monarch of the Tenth Rank strength!!
And this Tenth-Rank High-Level Monarch had already appeared in front of Chu Mu. As it moved its body of more than two hundred meters, it almost occupied the entire narrow space, with Chu Mu seeming like a pebble compared to a mountain!!
Chu Mu turned around and immediately felt the High-Level Monarch’s frenzied aura slapping against his face, making him feel as if his body was unable to move!!
The pupils of the Thousand-leg Centipede were even larger than Chu Mu’s body!! This gigantic creature was impossible to defeat, like the embodiment of the Death God!!
…
“Roar! Roar! Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Suddenly, a shivering roar emerged from deep within Zhan Ye’s throat!!!
Darkness surged, driving Zhan Ye’s ink-black armor to emit a sinister black light!!
This black light mainly originated from the Horned Beast mark on Zhan Ye’s ink armor. At this moment, the light of the horned beast demon pattern was released, dazzling and captivating, filled with the ancient, mysterious, and powerful bloodline!!
At the last moment of its life, it would either end its fate completely or enter a new cycle of rebirth!
After a sincere baptism of tears, Zhan Ye’s soul began to sublimate. This time, not only did it make its soul stronger, but the horned beast demon pattern that had been faintly visible appeared on its soul, transforming into an ancient imprint of its soul and awakening the power of the ancient horned beast!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!! Roar! Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye let out a roar as if the ancient energy had been unbound and was being released to its fullest!!
It was metamorphosing while also breaking through the limitations of a High-Level Monarch!!
The awakening of its ancient beast soul pushed its level towards the Peak Monarch!!
(This chapter was written very slowly, mainly to emphasize Zhan Ye’s destiny. These few chapters may be a bit tragic, and I write slowly, so the update is late. However, life in Xiao Yu’s writing…it is life… From now on, you all might gradually discover that “Pet Charm” is not purely a leveling novel… If you like “Pet Charm”, give it a few supportive and encouraging monthly tickets~ Xiao Yu will continue to work hard, harder, and even harder!)
