After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

"Master, I might know who the Ghost-faced is," Shadow's tendrils quivered.

"You do?"

Shadow's voice dimmed, worried about a misguess, "It possesses both spatial and soul attributes, and its species is the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly... I think it must be that one."

Hearing what Shadow said, Chen Xing compared the facts and felt confident about the deduction.

The attribute and species names all lined up quite well.

Chen Xing said, "Tell me about this Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly."

"I remember it was the last monster that the previous Lord Adjudicator imprisoned here, so it left a deep impression on me."

"It looks like this." Shadow extended numerous lines, outlining a huge black butterfly.

The butterfly's wings were over five meters wide, sporting a head with tightly shut eyes on its abdomen, looking otherwise just the same as any ordinary butterfly.

From its appearance, Chen Xing couldn't discern much.

"I remember the last Lord Adjudicator locked it up at the bottom of a lake, a black lake where the water is black."

"Anything else?"

"That's all I know."

Chen Xing thought about the other monsters; perhaps the other creatures imprisoned here knew something about this butterfly.

"Sìxiàng, try to contact the Demon Eagle," said Chen Xing to Sìxiàng.

Sìxiàng tried to reach the Demon Eagle, but moments later, he informed Chen Xing that he couldn't establish contact with the Demon Eagle.

Chen Xing pondered—had it left the Dark Realm? Or was it unwilling to respond, or had something happened?

Chen Xing thought the last possibility was least likely; the Demon Eagle seemed quite cunning and should know how to protect itself.

The ever-present dark clouds in the sky of the Dark Realm had quietly dispersed quite a bit.

"Are you done asking?" Qiu Shangqing came out of the stone house, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Inside the stone house was a calendar, showing a date from a year ago.

No wonder he felt the arrangement inside the house both familiar and strange.

...

The Dark Realm, a distant place.

By a vast black pool, a horde of fierce, colorful monsters gathered by the water's edge.

The White Bone Behemoth lay by the lake, its wings completely broken, a black butterfly perched on the huge bones, its sharp mouthparts boring into the bone to suck out the marrow.

"Tell us to stop seeking vengeance? Demon Eagle, have the years of imprisonment addled your brain? Who put us in here, and yet you speak for our enemy?"

"Traitor!"

"Eat it!"

"Drain its marrow!"

The surrounding monsters roared and bellowed.

The multitude of nerves extending from the Demon Eagle's neck was completely trampled, only a few still twitching and swaying instinctively.

"Enough, if you keep sucking it'll really die," spoke a creature, fully wrapped in white cloth, from a distance.

"After all, it has its hard work even if there's no merit. At least it managed to have that human lead the Dark Realm Adjudicator to take away the Domain Stele. I don't care how you deal with the Dark Realm Adjudicator, but the Demon Eagle can't die."

"That's right, the Demon Eagle can't die." On the other side, a flesh mountain buzzed—a mountain made up of numerous monsters. "I made a vow that whoever could lead me out of the Dark Realm, I would owe them a favor!"

The black butterfly suddenly sensed something.

Its wings paused, then turned towards a certain direction.

It withdrew its mouthparts and then flapped its wings as it flew eastward.

"Spare its life then."

...

Qiu Shangqing stood beside the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, preparing to have Chen Xing take him away.

However, he suddenly noticed the tense nerves of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, as it cautiously gazed towards the western horizon.

"Hmm?" Qiu Shangqing was surprised. "Good grief, just what level of adversary have you provoked?"

As he finished speaking, he decisively ordered, "Emperor Crocodile, quickly use Water Dragon Fang!"

At that moment, at the edge of the sky, a shadow raced from the west like a specter. The shadow tore through the sky with astonishing speed.

As it drew nearer, the previously tranquil sky seemed like a giant mirror abruptly shattered, with fragments pouring down like a stormy rain, blanketing the skies.

Above the earth, densely packed water blades formed out of nowhere, creating a sight like an invisible giant mouth agape, with the water blades being the tightly packed sharp teeth inside.

Accompanied by a screech, the water blades stirred, and the Spatial Shards falling from the Void were torn apart.

"How is the Power of Laws on the opposing side so weak? Fortunately, the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile has comprehended the Laws, otherwise dealing with these spatial skills would have been troublesome," Qiu Shangqing muttered to himself.

To counter spatial attribute skills, the best approach is to use Law Skills, and a simpler method is to use the same spatial skills to neutralize them.

The Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly did not expect the presence of an Ascension-level being.

It was caught off guard.

It had just sensed that the mental curse it planted on the cursed monkey leader had been broken.

Knowing that the mission failed and even possibly exposing its schemes.

Therefore, it crossed directly, aiming to eliminate the Dark Realm Arbiter before it had a chance to grow.

The reason was simple: their animosity was so deep that they could not coexist under the same sky; even if the Dark Realm Arbiter died, it would exterminate all its kin and destroy everything related to it.

Even now, in its weakened state, it was unafraid!

For it possesses the spatial attribute, mastering the power of space! Innately, it was in an invincible position.

Unless there was a formidable enemy whose strength far surpassed its own, or an opponent in the spatial domain who was not inferior to it.

The Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly hovered in the sky, coldly watching the emperor crocodile below, knowing from the moment the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile made its move that it was unlikely to succeed this time.

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile roared skyward, rising on a thousand-feet high giant wave, and rode it towards the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly.

The body of the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly became blurry.

Boom!

The giant wave crashed, leaving only an afterimage in its place.

The Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly teleported a thousand meters, charging toward the Dark Realm Arbiter.

But just then, the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile in the sky suddenly shattered, dissolving into the giant wave.

In front of the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly, a transparent phantom appeared and ferociously bit toward the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly.

"A clone!" the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly cried in shock and anger, the clone was too realistic, it couldn't even discern whether it was the real body or not.

Damn it, if its origin hadn't been damaged, how could it fail to recognize even a mere clone.

The Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly forcibly deployed its spatial power again, vanishing on the spot, but a piece of its wing was torn off and left behind!

The Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly appeared a thousand meters away, and in the next second, continued to disappear, fleeing at an even more frantic pace than before...

"This is a monster with spatial attributes who has stepped into the Ascension Realm, if it is set on escaping, the Emperor Crocodile can't hold it," Qiu Shangqing said gravely.

"Thank you, old Qiu, for your help," Chen Xing expressed his gratitude.

Qiu Shangqing waved his hand, "Be careful, this time it has suffered a big loss; if it returns next time, I might not be around to help you."

Chen Xing let out a long breath; he understood old Qiu's meaning, "Old Qiu, if an Ascension-level monster's body's origin is damaged, and its soul is also injured, how long would it need to recover?"

Qiu Shangqing pondered for a moment and provided an answer, "It's difficult to give a precise answer to this question. The time required to heal injuries is influenced by various factors, including the choice of healing methods, the treasures used for healing, and the innate characteristics of the monster's species. Each factor could significantly impact the speed of recovery."

He paused, then continued, "Damage to the origin is a very severe injury. Even with a plethora of precious treasures for healing and exceptional talent, the recovery time would need at least three years. Without these effective healing methods and treasures, the recovery period might extend to decades or even hundreds of years, which is hard to predict."

More than three years, huh...

Chen Xing's eyes flickered, that was enough time.

He wouldn't need three years to face it down.

Suddenly attacked, although he suspected it was related to the former Dark Realm Arbiter, just as the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly would unreasonably attack, he would ruthlessly exterminate it in the future without reason either.

"Did you remember its scent?" Chen Xing looked toward Shadow.

Shadow's tendrils slightly trembled; it had already recorded the scent of the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly.

If the Ghost-faced Nightmare Soul-devouring Butterfly tried to come near next time, it could detect its presence from a great distance away.
