Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

343 The Air Trembled

“Ice Spirit, Ice Seal!” Aloy gestured for the Ice Spirit to attack.

The Ice Spirit flashed and went straight into the Blazing Demon’s head. The moment the Ice Spirit entered the demon’s brain, the latter’s momentum and aura became hampered.

At this time, the other man saw that the situation was not good and quickly summoned his spirit beast, “Lightning Snake Scorpion, hurry up and help the Blazing Demon.”

Suddenly, a poisonous snake beast with a purple body and a single horn on its head shot forward. It opened its mouth and spat out bolts of lightning.

The lightning struck the icy power and immediately shattered it. At the same time, the other two beasts made their moves, using their powerful divine abilities.

“Leave us your primal crystals!” Shen Fei demanded.

“In your dreams!” the men snorted.

However, just as they finished speaking, something flickered on Shen Fei’s glabella. “Black Sun, Dark Spirit Intimidation!”

“Grargh!” After receiving its master’s order, the Black Sun flapped its wings and cried out, emitting a terrifying ripple that spread out.

Buzz…

The space beside the Black Sun trembled, and the air became distorted. Then, a black shadow formed from the distortion. When the black shadow appeared, a light pattern streaked across the area and headed straight for the two men.

The light patterns were like arrows—extremely sharp—and contained a strange power. When the light approached, the two men shuddered inexplicably, and they felt as though they were looking at Death in the face.

“How could this be?!” The two men were panicking.

Suddenly, one of the men’s eyes were filled with horror. He recognized this power. “This… It looks like the power of the netherworld!”

When the world was still new to cultivation, there was an overpowering and gifted man who took cultivation too far. He cultivated his power in the nether realm. In his anger, he killed experts from various clans and families, and even an Emperor-rank Beastmaster. Although this powerful being had disappeared for thousands of years, there were still legends about him in the netherworld.

“The power of the netherworld?” The other man’s heart trembled when he heard this.

As the light streaked everywhere, the Blazing Demon’s body was torn apart.

With a loud bang, the man was turned into a pile of flesh and blood, along with his Blazing Demon spirit beast.

The Black Sun flapped its wings and swooped down, bringing with it monstrous flames that shrouded the entire area. Wherever the flames passed, the destructive power would burn the magnetic primal force.

The remaining man was terrified when he saw Black Sun charging toward him. In his fear, he urged the Lightning Snake Scorpion to block the attack with all its might.

The Black Sun and the Lightning Snake Scorpion collided. Immediately, sparks flew in all directions, and flames erupted everywhere, devastating the area and wreaking havoc to the mine.

The magnetic primal force was on the verge of shattering under the scorching heat of the flames. Even so, the Black Sun’s attack was not hindered. The magnetic primal force dispersed and turned into pure energy, merging with the Black Sun.

“This…” Seeing this, the man was completely petrified. He wanted to escape, but he did not dare to move because he knew that once he moved, the young man would deal him a fatal blow.

“Y-you… Don’t come any closer!” In his fear, the man could not help but beg for mercy. However, he had misjudged the Black Sun’s temperament.

In the spirit beast’s opinion, since these two old fellows dared to attack it, it should strike first. It would be difficult for it to deal with them when they recover.

“Black Sun, stop!” Hearing the man’s plea, Shen Fei ordered the Black Sun to stop the assault.

Under Shen Fei’s command, the Black Sun reluctantly stopped fighting. Its eyes widened as it coldly regarded the man in front of it.

“Don’t… Don’t kill me!” Seeing this, the man cowered. He was really worried that he would die since the Black Sun was so powerful. The attack just now made him feel mortified.

“Here are the primal crystals, let me go,” the man pleaded. He stretched out his left hand, and there was a small pouch in his palm.

“Hand it over!” Shen Fei shouted. Primal crystals were essentially primal magnetic essences.

“Here you go!” Hearing this, the man passed the primal crystals to Shen Fei. Then, with a nod to Shen Fei, he fled the area as quick as a flash.

“Got it. Let’s go back to the wormhole now.” Seeing this, Shen Fei smiled in satisfaction.

…

An hour later, the three of them returned to the wormhole camp.

“You’re back?” When Luo Ying saw them return, her long face finally became bright.

“Yeah, and we got a lot of primal crystals.” Shen Fei passed the primal crystals to Luo Ying.

Li Ruoying’s face was filled with joy and she immediately said, “Let’s go and set up the spirit gathering array now.”

The primal crystals would become materials for the spirit gathering array. The spirit gathering array had to be set up at the entrance of the wormhole. That was because the closer they got to the wormhole, the denser the spirit Qi was.

Shen Fei and the others arrived at the entrance of the wormhole. At this moment, there were seven stone platforms that had been set up there. These stone platforms were separated by a distance, forming the Big Dipper.

In addition, there was a ten-meter wide ditch around the stone platforms. The ditch was very deep and several meters high. It was extremely eerie inside, and a cold wind blew over it, disturbing the air. This ditch would serve as the inner wall of the wormhole.

They then started to pile the 108 primal crystals together. When the primal crystals were piled up, Luo Ying began to inscribe the runes of the spirit gathering array.

One by one, the runes flew up into the air. The runes intersected and formed a mysterious pattern.

When the pattern appeared, Li Ruoying held a jade tablet in her hand. “Rise!”

Suddenly, a beam of light fell and absorbed the mysterious pattern. Then, the entire platform trembled slightly. Light bloomed, and an array started to form over the area.

After confirming the formation of the spirit gathering array, Li Ruoying flicked a lock of hair away from her forehead and said, “Condense!”

Immediately, the air trembled and the light above the formation gathered to form a white lotus that floated in the air. The light patterns on the lotus flickered, and a vast power coming from the array began to sweep out. It spread toward the wormhole and disappeared into the dark vortex.

Then, the twisted void gradually calmed down, and everything became peaceful.

“Alright, the initial stage of the spirit gathering array has been set up.” Li Ruoying heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Aloy’s furrowed brows finally relaxed. She hoped that the array they set up this time would be able to withstand the danger of the exotic beast horde. Otherwise, with just a few of them, they would not be able to form any good resistance.

Shen Fei looked at Luo Ying and the others and said, “Alright, the array has been set up. We’ll go back first. If you need anything, feel free to find me.”

“Thank you, Shen Fei!” Luo Ying smiled. At the same time, she blinked prettily at him, and her eyes were filled with gentleness.

“You’re welcome!” Shen Fei grinned, then he turned around and left. Shen Fei said as he looked at Aloy, “Let’s head back.”
