I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 281: Chapter 248: Checkmate (Part 2)

In the sky beyond the arena, natural lightning was drawn down once more. Bolt after bolt, mixed with rain, lashed fiercely against the black celestial curtain.

The rumbling was incessant. A few bolts finally tore an opening at the top, pierced through the Profound Nether Dark Sky Domain, and swirled around the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger. Outside its body, they coalesced into a phantom Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger formed from pure lightning!

A continuous CRACKLE and POP echoed out.

"This weather certainly favors your disciple. What a coincidence, for it to thunder and rain at this precise moment."

Mu Yongxian said faintly, his gaze on Mo Pengchen, his words heavy with insinuation.

"Heh, it is a bit of a coincidence. But who can truly know the whims of the heavens?"

Mo Pengchen just smiled, the picture of nonchalance, pretending to be completely oblivious to Mu Yongxian’s veiled accusation.

"Perhaps someone cast a spell ahead of time."

Mu Yongxian looked to the heavens and held out his palm. As raindrops fell one by one onto his hand, he listened to the whistling wind and spoke with a faint, unreadable smile.

"How could that be?"

Mo Pengchen said, his eyes downcast, offering no further explanation. His gaze penetrated the Dark Domain to watch the battle on the arena, a hint of worry faintly surfacing on his face. He sighed inwardly.

’This is all I, his master, can do for him...’

The winds and clouds shifted. The sky grew more somber, with only the bolts of lightning that tore through the void and the torrential downpour growing ever more violent.

On the arena, the original curtain of the Profound Nether Dark Heaven had been torn open, allowing lightning to pour through unceasingly.

The Dragon’s Roar and the mighty cries of beasts blended in conflict. At first listen, it was like a magnificent symphony shaking the heavens and earth, with the sky as its stage and the world as its audience.

"ROAR!!!"

"Shadow Dragon Celestial Prison!"

Suddenly, the black celestial curtain contracted. A denser darkness began to flow, suppressing the lightning. The Celestial Shadow Dragon’s serpentine body weaved left and right as it moved.

The void trembled. A palpable pressure surged in from all directions, as immense and overwhelming as mountains and oceans crashing down.

CRACK... CRACK...

The arena floor cracked. The massive bodies of the Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger buckled, and they roared as they struggled against the force.

"Tian Qing, Sunrise and Sunset!"

In the darkness, Yang Chengxu’s cold voice was like the whisper of a god. As the sound of his technique swept out, the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon’s massive body flared with light. Cyan radiance bloomed anew in the dark, and a searing sensation accompanied the immense pressure.

A blazing sun and a bright moon, both radiating cyan light, expanded as they plummeted from the sky!

The surrounding space was still shrinking, and waves of tidal pressure crashed in, sealing the area. This was an attack Zhang Tianwen could not evade.

"Divine Might Spirit Tiger, Jin Feng’s Tiger Painting!"

"Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger, Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Strike!"

Zhang Tianwen gritted his teeth. In the darkness, the Divine Might Spirit Tiger unleashed its power. It stomped its massive body on the arena and roared, the pressure in its pale golden eyes intensifying. Threads of golden light seeped from its body and converged, using the void as a canvas. With golden brushstrokes, the light gradually took the shape of another Divine Might Spirit Tiger.

Finally, with a flash of golden radiance, the Divine Might Spirit Tiger in the painting solidified completely and stepped out of the canvas. An aura even more potent than the original’s erupted, filled with a domineering and supreme will. Its beastly eyes shot a contemptuous glance at the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and Celestial Shadow Dragon circling in the sky.

It lunged forward, a brilliant golden light streaking through the darkness like a meteor, actively meeting the falling sun head-on.

RUMBLE!!

The roar of thunder echoed once more as bolts of lightning were drawn down to circle the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger. At this moment, it was like a Divine Beast descended to the mortal realm, a Thunder God reborn. Its thick paws expanded and slammed viciously onto the ground!

CRACK... CRACK...

Arcs of electricity flashed. The Shadow Dragon Celestial Prison faltered for a moment, and the tide of pressure began to recede. The Celestial Shadow Dragon’s figure reappeared. With a long Dragon’s Roar, a violent darkness twisted the void once more. From beneath the celestial curtain, pillars of black light connecting heaven and earth plummeted down!

"Dark Shadow Reaching the Heavens!"

Each of these black pillars stretched from heaven to earth, carrying a dense, dark aura that twisted space and devoured light. They fell one after another, sealing off all directions and completely trapping the Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger.

RUMBLE!!!

The heavens roared as bolt after bolt of lightning fell from beyond. The Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger trod upon the void, lightning raging around it, weaving dazzling flowers of thunder in the air to meet the black pillars of light.

Instantly, enormous ripples spread through the darkness. The Celestial Shadow Dragon emerged, roaring as it whipped its tail viciously at the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger.

The Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger showed no fear. Its paws crackled with lightning as it leaped, grabbing the dragon’s tail. As its body trembled, arcs of lightning surged from its paws and onto the Celestial Shadow Dragon’s body.

"Thunderous Force!!"

Zhang Tianwen let out a low shout. In that instant, the lightning on the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger intensified, forming into long spears of thunder that shot toward the Celestial Shadow Dragon!

"Profound Nether Dark Realm!"

The Celestial Shadow Dragon struggled. A black vortex materialized to cover the sky, shielding it. The spears of the Thunderous Force instantly melted away like ice in the sun. This time, however, the vortex seemed to reach its limit and shattered with a deafening CRASH.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon had also reached a fever pitch. The body of the tiger from Jin Feng’s Tiger Painting trembled, and in a single leap, it swallowed the blazing sun before pouncing on the bright moon.

A violent fluctuation exploded in an instant. The body of the painted tiger, like a peerless sword, shattered into a million pieces. At the same time, the light of the cyan sun and moon silently vanished.

"Pfft..."

The Divine Might Spirit Tiger collapsed to the ground, a trickle of blood spilling from its cavernous mouth. The creature from Jin Feng’s Tiger Painting was, in a way, its clone. With the clone’s destruction, obliterated by the sun and moon, the original tiger suffered a backlash.

Likewise, the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon was also somewhat exhausted, its aura weakened. Having its strongest single-target burst attack, Sunrise and Sunset, swallowed by the Jin Feng’s Tiger Painting had taken its toll.

"It’s time to end this, Zhang Tianwen. Your journey ends here!"

Yang Chengxu took a step back to put distance between himself and Zhang Tianwen. A flicker of mockery crossed his cold eyes as his fingers moved in a blur. Specks of black light flowed from his ten fingertips and fused with the Celestial Shadow Dragon.

The Celestial Shadow Dragon’s massive body writhed as an even more concentrated black light erupted from it. The heavens darkened, and even the purple glow of the lightning seemed to be suppressed for a moment.

Amidst the spreading black light, the Celestial Shadow Dragon’s figure merged into the darkness and vanished. Only the unending Dragon’s Roar echoing from all directions proved it still existed, lying in wait.

Zhang Tianwen’s expression darkened. With a wave of his hand, the Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger stood guard at his side, warily watching the encroaching darkness.

The next instant, two scarlet dots suddenly lit up in the darkness. They flickered with an eerie, blood-red light before opening completely to reveal a pair of indifferent dragon eyes.

Then, a second pair appeared, then a third, a fourth... Countless dragon eyes lit up, staring at Zhang Tianwen from every conceivable angle. A sudden chill washed over him, and the sound of the Dragon’s Roar reached its crescendo, echoing without end!

"Shadow Dragon Illusion Prison Kill!"

WHOOSH...

An unseen wind howled through the darkness, carrying with it a biting chill and icy raindrops. In the gloom, the sky full of red dragon eyes suddenly snapped shut. The eerie red light vanished, and then the darkness surged from above, below, and all sides.

One after another, red dragon phantoms surged forth. They opened their cavernous maws and charged recklessly, their momentum unstoppable, intent on devouring Zhang Tianwen and his companions trapped in the center!

"Celestial Cyan Annihilation Claw!"

But it wasn’t over. The Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon’s figure reappeared. Its six claws surged, and a dense barrage of cyan claw-strikes descended from the heavens, tearing through the void as they too rushed toward the Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger!

It was an Array of Ultimate Destruction!
