Elemental Gate!
Chu Mu was not entirely ignorant about the Elemental Gate. He learned from Chu Tiancheng that the Elemental Gate was a special existence with a sphere of influence only second to the Soul Hall, Soul Pet Palace, and Nightmare Demon Palace. The disciples of the Elemental Gate were spread throughout the various worlds and could often be seen establishing Elemental Cities in some ninth and tenth-level cities.
These so-called “Elemental Cities” were established within other cities and acted as gathering places for Elemental Gate members. They had their independent chains of commerce and organizations, often not subject to the control of the city’s lord.
The members of Elemental Gate were mostly Soul Pet Masters who controlled powerful Elemental World Soul Pets. Unlike most Soul Pet Masters who mainly controlled Demon Beast World Soul Pets, they were experts in using various types of elemental soul pets, and some stricter elemental soul pet masters even carried only elemental creatures.
Different Soul Pet Masters chose different world and type Soul Pets based on their needs and intentions.
For example, Chu Mu liked to develop comprehensively, he wouldn’t show particular obsession or favoritism towards any one world or type.
Some Soul Pet Masters were different; they had unique insights into a specific world or type of soul pet. In situations where they were insufficient in controlling other soul pets, they would simply use fewer or even completely abandon other world soul pets’ taming and only sign soul pacts with soul pets from the world or type they were most proficient in training and controlling.
After some questioning, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi had a general understanding:
Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng had a conflict with several experts from the Elemental Gate when they were traversing the Zhanli Realm. To avoid the trouble, they deviated from their original path towards World City in the east and detoured through the West Region, passing through the Wogu Domain to bypass the city in the Zhanli Realm.
Their conflict with the Elemental Gate arose because of the Darkflame Sky
Demon that Ye Qingzi had summoned earlier. It was a powerful Elemental
World Soul Pet of high-ranking Commander-level. Chu Mu had never seen
such a soul pet before because it was an unusual dark and flame dual-element powerful soul pet in the Elemental World, and its potential was even higher than Ye Qingzi’s Ice and Fire Fairy.
Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng had snatched the Darkflame Sky Demon from the hands of some young experts of the Elemental Gate. But somehow, those guys used a special method to secretly track Ye Wansheng’s soul pet.
At first, Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng thought they had shaken off the people from the Elemental Gate, but they didn’t expect them to have already pursued Wogu Domain!
“Their real purpose is to get the Darkflame Sky Demon back, right?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yes, but the Darkflame Sky Demon has already signed a soul pact with me.” Ye Qingzi now also looked worried.
“Do you know the name of the person who had the conflict with you?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yes, his name is Yu He, a youth with a high position in the Elemental Gate. It was said that he was a top-level young expert in the Zhanli Realm, and occasionally we heard some news about him in the West Region.” Ye Qingzi said.
“Write a letter to him, telling him that within two months, you will definitely hand over the Darkflame Sky Demon and use a large amount of money to ransom Ye Wansheng. But he must ensure Ye Wansheng is not injured.” Chu Mu said.
“Alright.” Ye Qingzi nodded, knowing that she must employ delay tactics.
The two people from the Elemental Gate left Wogu Domain before the outbreak and headed eastward. If their strength was above Ye Wansheng’s, they should probably not be affected by the crisis from the north to the south, and they could continue to head east towards the Zhanli Realm.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi stayed in Chu Mountain for seven days, and spent another three days in Wogu City. It could be inferred that the two people from the Elemental Gate had been heading east for ten days, so catching up wasn’t feasible. Ye Qingzi could only secretly pray that nothing bad would happen to Ye Wansheng.
With the clues obtained, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi did not stay in Wogu City for too long. They took care of the young boy and the very next morning, they rode their Dream Beasts, heading eastward.
“You have collected all 1000 portions of blood you need?” While riding the Dream Beast, Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu.
“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded. During the past few days, he had been constantly fighting the Sky Demon Insects and killing so many of them that he couldn’t keep track. He had even unintentionally gained a seventh-level soul crystal and two six-level soul crystals.
“I’ll help you make the Courageous Sting’s Heart tonight when we rest. That way, MO Ye’s combat power will be significantly improved.” Ye Qingzi said.
“There’s no hurry, take a day off first. You look a bit pale.” Chu Mu knew that Ye Qingzi hadn’t rested well these past few days and naturally didn’t want her to overexert herself because of the Courageous Sting Heart.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi passed many cities on their way east. All these cities were affected by the crisis in various degrees, showing signs of defeat and desolation.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi spent about three days traveling eastward from Wogu Domain when the two stopped for the night. Ye Qingzi helped Chu Mu make the Courageous Sting Heart, which he planned to use to improve War Beast MO Ye’s combat power, only after MO Ye had been trained with a level-6 Insect-beast dual-attribute soul crystal.
It was somewhat difficult for a soul pet of the fifth rank, stage 7 to use a level 6
soul crystal. However, in Chu Mu’s view, MO Ye’s body had sufficient bearing capacity to absorb all the energy from a level 6 soul crystal.
Indeed, after the energy of the Level 6 Soul Crystal was infused into Zhan Ye’s body, the ink-colored armor fell off significantly, and its body grew directly, reaching close to three meters!
It went through a direct metamorphosis!
In the continuous battles of the previous few days, Zhan Ye’s body had nearly reached its maximum potential. Now, with the energy of the Level 6 Soul
Crystal being infused into it, Zhan Ye absorbed it all without wasting a drop. Its Beast-type power was once again enhanced, making its body look no longer weak but instead somewhat mighty and wild!
From the Fifth Rank, Stage 7, it advanced to the Sixth Rank, Stage 1!
Zhan Ye could be considered to have completely gotten rid of its original attribute deficiency, already displaying a commanding presence of a few formidable commanders!
While the iron was hot, Chu Mu decisively used his Soul Sense to guide the fusion of Zhan Ye’s heart and soul with the Courageous Sting’s Heart.
The Stinging Heart is a unique heart that only powerful Insect-type Soul Pets possess. This spirit item has been tempered and refined by countless same-species blood, making Insect-type Soul Pets even more powerful!
After fusing Zhan Ye’s heart with the Courageous Sting’s Heart, Zhan Ye’s stage didn’t improve, and there were no obvious changes in its armor and claw blades. However, its aura became much stronger than that of an ordinary Insect-type leader!
War Beast MO Ye: Demon Beast World – Beast-Type (Insect-Type) – Armored Beast Clan – Commander Level
Racial Skills: Self-healing, Limb Regeneration, Courageous Sting’s Heart
Basic Skills: Savage Strength, Tearing Claw, Ink Armor Thorn
Main Skills: Crushing Claw, Death Light, Shadow Strike, secretly steal it
Advanced Skills: Shatter Stomp, Staggering Heavy Attack, Sky-Splitting Claw
Ink Armor Defense reaches Level 6 Late-Stage, Ink Claw reaches Level 6 Late-Stage.
After Zhan Ye reached the Sixth Rank, Chu Mu decisively equipped it with the Level 6 Full-State Offensive Soul Equipment that was originally on MO Ye.
The Level 6 Full-State Offensive Soul Equipment could make Zhan Ye’s Ink Claw attack power directly reach Level 7 Early Stage.
In this way, Zhan Ye’s normal attack could reach above Level 7. If it uses Sky-Splitting Claw and Staggering Heavy Attack together, it should be able to barely exert the power of Level 7 Peak!
In Chu Mu and Chu Yue’s gambling fight, they won the six-level Soul Armor from that guy, which now is equipped on MO Ye.
MO Ye’s defense reached Level 7 Mid-stage. When equipped with the Level 6 Soul Armor, it could only barely raise MO Ye’s defense to Level 7 Late-stage. However, MO Ye has a high evasion ability and possesses the Nine-Tails defense that can withstand the destructive power of Level 8. Thus, wearing this Level 6 Soul Armor does not have much of an effect on it.
Chu Mu decisively equipped Zhan Ye with the Level 6 Soul Armor, raising Zhan Ye’s defense power from Level 6 Final Stage to Level 7 Mid-Stage.
Metamorphosis, attribute enhancement, and Courageous Sting’s Heart – the combination of these three raised both Zhan Ye’s attack and defense indicators to the Sixth Rank Late Stage. This is considered a talent belonging to an excellent and peak commander. In addition, with the effect of the Soul Equipment, both attack and defense reached Level 7 during the Sixth Rank period, making Zhan Ye somewhat surpassing the trend of a commander.
Of course, to reach this level, Chu Mu spent a lot of money. According to Master Li’s estimate, Courageous Sting’s Heart alone required at least 20 million Gold Coins.
Not considering the factors of Courageous Sting’s Heart skill, the Level 6 Full-State Offensive Soul Equipment is worth 10 million, Level 6 Soul Armor is worth 5 million, and various Soul Crystals, Soul Cores, Spirit Items, etc.
combined together, Zhan Ye at the Sixth Rank cost Chu Mu 20 million Gold Coins. This could already buy at least three peak-level commanders with three attributes. If we include the Courageous Sting’s Heart… it’s nearly enough to buy a Monarch…
As if catering to Chu Mu’s wishes, right after he had completed the entire strength upgrade for Zhan Ye, a group of hungry Four-winged Sky Demon Insects flew in from not too far away.
Under the starlight, the black bodies and flesh wings of these Sky Demon Insects appeared extremely ferocious, and their sharp cries were even more irritating…
“Let my Zhan Ye deal with them, you just keep resting,” Chu Mu sawye Qingzi’s intention to summon Soul Pets and immediately stopped her, directing Zhan Ye to rush towards those Sky Demon Insects flying up from the low slope below.
“At least 40 Four-winged Sky Demon Insects, and they are around Level 6 or 7, it would be more difficult to deal with them than last time,” Ye Qingzi didn’t like Chu Mu tormenting Zhan Ye. She immediately started chanting a spell, applying the Water Curtain Battle Armor on Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye’s defense had already reached Level 7 Mid-stage, and with the Water Curtain Battle Armor, its defense could reach Level 7 Final Stage. This means that in the face of double the number of Sky Demon Insects from last time, Zhan Ye may be able to eliminate them all without having to use its Limb Regeneration skill more than a few times.
