Chapter 963: Battle Beast Token

Sponsored Content

Thousand Stars Shadow Valley, the most dangerous of the five hazard lands in the Crosswise River Star Domain.
(TL note: I have been thinking how to categorize these ‘dangerous places’.
I shall use hazard lands for now.
If anyone has a better idea, please suggest it to me and I will use them)

It was unknown if this hazard land was formed naturally or by men.
There were countless universe gullies inside and each of them contained inexhaustible time.
If a heaven lord was trapped deep inside, they would be completely lost.

Inside the gullies, there were special stars.
These stars were seemingly formed with shadows but they had real bodies.

At this moment, a battleship silently arrived at the Thousand Stars Shadow Valley.

The battleship had a few heaven lords, Li Fuchen, the Yin Hand Heaven Lord, the Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord and the Iron Lordess.

There was no need to talk about the Yin Hand Heaven Lord.

The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord was a demonic beast heaven lord and had tiger patterns on his body.
(TL note: The author interchanges demonic beast heaven lords and beast sovereigns.
But I shall translate as what the Chinese character states)

The Iron Lordess was a tall and toned black-clothed female heaven lord.
Her facial features looked as though they were chiseled and she had smooth and flawless skin.

Li Fuchen got acquainted with the trio during the gathering.
This time, they were here to help the Yin Hand Heaven Lord to capture the astral colossal beast, the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

“The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey normally resides on yin shadow stars, but once they encounter danger, they would immediately escape towards the nearest universe gully.
Therefore, we only have one chance to capture the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.
Once we miss it, we can only find another Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.”

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord paid a significant price for this capture attempt.
He had paid the trip 300 million peak-grade spirit stones each.
If it was successful, he would have to pay them 200 million more.

“Yin Hand Heaven Lord, don’t worry.
I, the Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord will not take your peak-grade spirit stones for nothing.
If this capture is a failure, I will help you once more without any fees.” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord patted his chest as he said.

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord laughed and said, “I have prepared many years for this capture plan.
I believe it will be a success.”

Soon enough, the battleship arrived at a nearby yin shadow star.

After landing on the star, the quartet started to search for the traces of the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

The Thousand Stars Shadow Valley had too many yin shadow stars.
The name might say thousand stars, but it was actually uncountable.
On each universe gully, there were plenty of ying shadow stars by the side.

“As expected, this Thousand Stars Shadow Valley is not formed naturally.”

Li Fuchen didn’t agree to help the Yin Hand Heaven Lord for the 500 million peak-grade spirit stones.
To be honest, even if his wealth wasn’t as much, if he was willing, it was rather easy for him to earn 500 million peak-grade spirit stones.
The reason why he agreed was to understand the battle methods used by heaven lords and also to witness the Thousand Stars Shadow Valley.

In Li Fuchen’s opinion, this Thousand Stars Shadow Valley was formed during a battle between a saber dao legend and a shadow dao legend.
However, after countless years, their presence gradually dispersed.
Only people with acute sense would be able to detect the traces.

“I wonder what is the strength level of those legends?” Li Fuchen lamented.

This Thousand Stars Shadow Valley stretched across thousands of light years.
Star domain-level heaven lords definitely could not achieve it, half-gods might not be able to do it either.

After all, it wasn’t just destroying everything within thousands of light years, it was dealing permanent damage to the universe across thousands of light years.

Half a year later…

Buzz!

There was a faint ripple.

On a yin shadow star deep inside the Thousand Stars Shadow Valley, a massive shadow emerged and flew towards the nearly universe gully.

“Don’t think about running.”

The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord’s body expanded and he turned into a white tiger with black patterns that was a few ten thousand miles in size.
He let out a growl that blasted a terrifying sound wave towards the massive shadow.

Ji Ji Ji…

When the massive shadow was struck by the sound wave, it paused for a moment and revealed its true body.

It was a black giant stone monkey.
As compared to the stone monkey, the Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord was only a small pebble.

The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey was a powerful astral colossal beast.
Any of the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey had the strength of a heaven lord.

“Two Poles Array Board!”

All of a sudden,the tall and toned Iron Lordess appeared behind the Yin Shadow Monkey.
With a toss of the hand, an array board fused into the void.

Ji Ji Ji…

The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey turned into the shadows again and wanted to escape into the universe gully.

Bang!

In the void, an invisible barrier blocked the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey and sent it bouncing back.

Seeing the situation, the Iron Lordess let out a sneer.
The Two Poles Array Board was a supreme rate array board and could trap an ordinary heaven lord with ease.

Bang Bang Bang…

The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey acted as though it was insane.
It smashed at the array barrier frenziedly which produced small cracks.
However, the cracks quickly vanished but it still made the Iron Lordess’ heart tightened a little.

“Dipper Extreme Yin Hand!” The Yin Hand Heaven Lord arrived beside the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey and executed a palm strike.

The seemingly realistic palm was like an illusion had passed through the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s body.

It could be visibly seen that the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s speed and power was much weaker.

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord’s Dipper Extreme Yin Hand wasn’t a martial art.
It was actually a combat skill that was based on his innate ability.
This combat skill’s greatest effect was to absorb the enemy’s energy and put on a weakening effect.
Of course, if the enemy was weak, they might be immediately injured or even die.

Roar!

The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey was enraged.
Both its eyes were red and it had a burst of power.
It smashed a dent in the array barrier and nearly broke it.

“Not good.” The Iron Lordess’ body was glowing with a metallic radiance as she charged at the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

Clang Clang Clang…

The contest was evenly matched.

“Let me aid you.” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord joined the battle.

As for the Yin Hand Heaven Lord, he was constantly using the Dipper Extreme Yin Hand to weaken the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

“Primary Extreme Heaven Lord, you should also help right?”

The trio might be able to suppress the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey, but when seeing Li Fuchen idling, the Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord was rather unhappy.

Li Fuchen replied, “Apologies, I have been observing and finding the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s flaw.”

The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey was known to be undying and indestructible.
Even a star domain-level heaven lord would have a hard time killing the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.
It was mainly due to the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s ability to shadow-shift and to stonify.
The former was able to ignore attacks while the latter could resist attacks.
With both abilities stacked together, it created a flawless defense.

Of course, there was nothing flawless in this world.
The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey still had a flaw.
Even after finding the flaw, it was still impossible to kill it, but one would be able to knock it unconscious.

“The Yin Shadow Stone Monkey only has one flaw in its entire body.
Furthermore, the flaw is constantly shifting around.
I advise you to not waste your time.” The Iron Lordess deflected the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s attack and shook her head as she said.

If the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s flaw was so easy to find, they wouldn’t have such a difficult time.
It was unfortunate that there were only a few individuals that could find the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey’s flaw.

“I found it.” Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with radiance.

“Impossible.” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord and the Iron Lordess didn’t believe it.

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord was rather hesitant.

With the sword unsheathed, Li Fuchen flashed and slashed across the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

Crackle!

It felt as though something cracked and immediately after, the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey collapsed on the ground.

“He really found the flaw?” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord and the Iron Lordess were stunned.

“It seems like the Sword Wind Heaven Lord and the White Rainbow Heaven Lord aren’t bluffing.
This Primary Extreme Heaven Lord is truly an absolute prodigy.”

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord had been long-time friends with the Sword Wind Heaven Lord and the White Rainbow Heaven Lord.
Therefore, he knew a little about Li Fuchen.

Knocking out the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey didn’t mean a successful capture.
The Yin Hand Heaven Lord took out a metallic token from the spatial ring.

“Battle Beast Token!” The Iron Lordess’ eyes lit up.

An astral colossal beast was basically impossible to tame.
The Crosswise River Primogenitor once captured a Yin Shadow Stone Monkey but couldn’t tame it.
He had been keeping it imprisoned since then.

However, there was nothing absolute.
There were definitely some individuals who had some methods to tame the astral colossal beasts.

A good example was the Battle Beast Token.

According to the legends, the Battle Beast Token was a beast taming cardinal artifact created by a beast tamer legend billions of years ago.
The cardinal artifact contained the battle beast spatial zone.
It wasn’t just able to store the astral colossal beasts inside, it could even convert the astral colossal beast into a battle beast.

It was unfortunate that there was a miserably small number of Battle Beast Tokens.
Moreover, each Battle Beast Token could only tame one astral colossal beast.
The Yin Hand Heaven Lord probably obtained this Battle Beast Token from some ruins.

“Yin Hand Heaven Lord, no wonder you want to capture the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.
It turns out you have the Battle Beast Token.” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord was very envious.

The Battle Beast Token could greatly increase the strength of the astral colossal beast.
From now on, the Yin Hand Heaven Lord could be considered a powerhouse.
He might even be able to contest with regular city lord-level heaven lords.

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord chuckled as he poured his energy into the Battle Beast Token and started to capture the Yin Shadow Stone Monkey.

Soon enough, the unconscious Yin Shadow Stone Monkey was stored into the Battle Beast Token.

“Many thanks to all of you.
Here is the balance payment of 200 million peak-grade spirit stones.”

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord tossed 200 million peak-grade spirit stones to the trio.

After receiving the peak-grade spirit stones, the Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord couldn’t help asking, “Yin Hand Heaven Lord, if I may ask.
Where did you obtain the Battle Beast Token?”

The Yin Hand Heaven Lord said, “I won’t hide from the three of you.
This Battle Beast Token is discovered in the Ancient Stone Star Domain’s Forbidden Grotto.”

“You actually dare to enter the Forbidden Grotto? Forget it, that place is too dangerous, I don’t wish to go there.” The Tiger Extreme Heaven Lord shook his head.

The Iron Lordess gave up on trying to obtain the Battle Beast Token too.
The Forbidden Grotto wasn’t a great place.
It could be said that the entire Ancient Stone Star Domain didn’t have a good place.

“Ancient Stone Star Domain’s Forbidden Grotto?” Li Fuchen raised his brows.

It had been a long time since he returned to the Deep Blue Plane.
Perhaps, he could use the space-time passages from the East Unicorn Continent to visit other star domains.
