I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 311: Chapter 263: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada (Part 2)

"Although this will significantly shorten the Array’s lockdown period, it’s more than enough to deal with you. Now, aside from us, no one can get in, even if they discover this place."

Yang Chengxu’s aura was majestic as he spoke nonchalantly. As he performed the incantation, mysterious Runes flickered to life, linking together and modifying the Array’s permissions.

"Be careful. He’s using a Secret Technique."

Li Minghan’s expression turned grim. He took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, waving his hand. Two streams of light shot out, transforming into the Spirit Wind Python and the Cold Pool Giant Crocodile. Their auras were profound; they had clearly grown significantly stronger within the Secret Realm.

"Yes. Let’s just endure. Since it’s a Secret Technique, there will come a time when he’s exhausted. When that happens..."

Yu Changsheng nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He let out a slow breath, the killing intent in his gaze flaring, completely undisguised.

As a prodigy of the Yang Family, it was only natural for him to have such life-risking techniques. Thus, neither of them was surprised that Yang Chengxu had resorted to a Secret Technique.

"You’ve forced my hand. Today, you will both be buried here!"

Yang Chengxu’s expression was grim, his aura overwhelming. With a light step, his cultivation—at the near-Peak of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer—erupted in an instant. The auras of the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and Celestial Shadow Dragon surged in tandem as their bodies swelled once more, dominating the entire area.

The Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon soared, emitting an endless cyan light in which visions of the sun and moon seemed to rise and set. This brilliant radiance consumed half the sky. On the other side, the Celestial Shadow Dragon’s figure grew indistinct. Its dark draconic body was veiled in a faint red glow, and its violent aura shook the heavens as darkness enveloped the other half of the sky.

Under the effects of the Secret Technique, it wasn’t just Yang Chengxu and his two beasts who were empowered; even their Domains grew more stable.

"Two Domains..."

Li Minghan’s throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. His gaze sharpened, and he let out a low chuckle. "Good thing I have a Domain, too."

Li Minghan took a deep breath and snapped his head up. His eyes flashed like lightning as he stared directly into the blinding cyan light and encroaching darkness. With a faint wave of his hand, the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon moved. Instantly, within the confined space, layers of earthy yellow brilliance spread to every corner, becoming the third dominant color in this world.

"Domain: Red Fire... Divine Mountain!"

"ROOOOAR!!!"

The Red Mountain Sub-Dragon roared, its body coiling as its draconic might washed over the area. Endless light and heat radiated outward as a canopy of crimson light spread overhead. The temperature soared. RUMBLE. The very terrain began to shift, with small mountains of earth and rock rising from the ground as the Domain drew out the Earth Fire below, causing it to erupt in unison.

Within the Domain, fire raged, and the intense heat warped the air. The divine mountain shimmered with a dazzling light as streams of protective power flowed onto Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan, forming a faint, earthy-yellow barrier around them.

’Red Fire Divine Mountain... So this is the kind of buff a Domain provides.’

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, glancing at the composed Li Minghan with a hint of surprise.

He could feel his Thousand Mountains Technique circulating more smoothly within the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon’s Domain. Gentle streams of power surged into his body from the ground below and the air around him, strengthening him.

Likewise, the surrounding Fire and Earth Elements were now clearly more attuned to him. If he were to use any Earth or Fire Element Cultivation Techniques, their power would also be amplified.

’What a fortunate coincidence,’ Yu Changsheng thought with a small smile. He savored the wondrous experience for a moment before, with a thought, the Red Refining Snake and the Colorful Star Deer appeared beside him.

As for the Golden-Winged Eagle, it had temporarily lost its ability to fight and was still unconscious within his Inner Realm.

Within the Boundary Pearl, three Domains now coexisted. Red Fire Divine Mountain took up nearly a third of the sky, pushing back against Profound Nether Dark Heaven and Celestial Cyan Day and Moonlight. Although it seemed outmatched, it held its ground, firm and unmoving for the time being.

The Spirit Wind Python, the Cold Pool Giant Crocodile, the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon...

The Colorful Star Deer, the Red Refining Snake, plus Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan.

The momentum, which had been almost completely one-sided, underwent a subtle shift. Despite this, there wasn’t the slightest hint of panic in Yang Chengxu’s eyes. Instead, he licked his lips, reveling in the power boiling within him from the Secret Technique. He moved first. In an instant, his figure shot out like an unsheathed sword, radiating a sharpness so intense one could not look at him directly.

Li Minghan’s pupils contracted as a sense of crisis flooded his heart. Yang Chengxu’s aura was now overwhelming. He moved so fast that he left no afterimage. After using the Secret Technique, Yang Chengxu’s explosive speed was simply beyond anything Li Minghan could follow.

"Since you decided to interfere, I’ll get rid of you, the meddler, first!"

Yang Chengxu’s cold voice carried on the wind. In the next instant, the phantom of a rising sun materialized, transforming into a massive fist of light. It appeared abruptly behind Li Minghan, an earth-shattering force aimed squarely at the back of his head.

"!!!"

A chill ran down Li Minghan’s spine. A sense of mortal danger exploded in his Sea of Consciousness. Every cell in his body screamed a warning.

Fast. It was too fast!

So fast that all he could do was barely turn his head and watch as the fist of light, already upon him, grew larger and larger in his vision!

"Watch out!"

Yu Changsheng cried out, instantly moving to block Li Minghan. His Thousand Mountain Armor, further enhanced by the Domain, solidified around him. He threw a punch that shook the very earth, colliding with Yang Chengxu’s attack!

BOOM!

A violent, ring-shaped shockwave blasted outward, and the ground trembled. Yang Chengxu’s attack was thwarted, and he retreated a few steps. Yu Changsheng let out a muffled grunt, tasting blood in his throat. Forcibly swallowing it down, his aura fell into slight disarray. He panted, looking at his dislocated left arm, and then, with a deadpan expression, used his right hand to pop it back into place.

After that single exchange, Yang Chengxu was completely unharmed, while Yu Changsheng had sustained minor injuries. The disparity in their strength was instantly clear.

’What a terrifying Secret Technique... It’s even powerful enough to suppress my physical body...’

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, inwardly astonished. He stared intently at Yang Chengxu, his gaze wary. His vigilance was now at its absolute peak.

"Relax your mind. With his current Cultivation, he’s too fast for you to see. I’ll share my vision with you."

Yu Changsheng said in a low voice, narrowing his eyes at the slightly stunned Li Minghan.

Li Minghan’s expression grew serious. He nodded, looking at Yu Changsheng with concern. "Alright. Are you okay? Thank you for that, Changsheng. I owe you one."

"I’m fine. I’ll leave his two Spirit Beasts to you."

Without looking back, Yu Changsheng waved a hand dismissively and sent a thread of his Divine Sense into Li Minghan. Li Minghan didn’t resist, and the view from Yu Changsheng’s perspective was clearly transmitted into his Sea of Consciousness.

Now, as Li Minghan focused, he could finally see Yang Chengxu’s movements clearly.

"Alright. I’ll leave him to you."

Li Minghan wasn’t one for false modesty. He nodded, gave Yu Changsheng one last deep look, and turned to direct his three beasts to engage the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and the Celestial Shadow Dragon.

Yu Changsheng’s heart sank. Although Li Minghan’s arrival had relieved a great deal of pressure, Yang Chengxu was a different beast after using his Secret Technique.

He had reached the near-Peak of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, and even his Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and Celestial Shadow Dragon had broken through their limits. This created a suppressive effect from their sheer difference in power, and the pressure was immense.

Therefore, Yu Changsheng didn’t dare let his guard down. Fortunately, with the support of Li Minghan’s Domain, he at least didn’t have to worry about anything else for now.

"Come on!!"

With a low roar, Yu Changsheng’s muscles swelled. Within the Red Fire Divine Mountain Domain, he drew balls of flame to his side, which orbited around him. The very earth rose to his feet, and streams of rock and soil condensed into a suit of armor, making his figure seem even larger and more imposing.

"Courageous."

Yang Chengxu shook his head with a dry chuckle. He stomped his foot, shattering the ground beneath him. His body, now covered in golden light, became a weapon as he charged Yu Changsheng, his fists whistling through the air.

"Body-Breaking Celestial Fist!"

Golden light flared. With each of Yang Chengxu’s punches, the very air rippled and space trembled. His strikes were filled with domineering power and absolute confidence. A sky full of phantom fists descended upon Yu Changsheng, covering him from every angle.

"Thousand Mountains Flame Fist!"

Yu Changsheng roared. Phantom images of mountain ranges appeared, hanging inverted in the air and shedding an earthy-yellow brilliance. Flames wreathed his fists. Amidst a scene that resembled a fiery mountain forest, the two continuously exchanged blows, transforming into two world-shaking streaks of light that repeatedly clashed and broke apart.

The space sealed by the Boundary Pearl trembled. The original landscape had been completely obliterated. Apart from Si Jian Cliff, which remained perfectly intact, any stone pillars that had once stood were now all reduced to rubble.
