Chapter: 1014 (1/2)
AST 1014 – Mutation, Dragon Devouring Mouse, It’s Time to Head for Demon Gate
The Fire Bird’s physical strength was now at 310 stars and the Five-Headed Demonic Spider was at 380 stars. The Thunderous Beast had increased the most and now its physical strength had barely reached 300 stars. The other demonic beasts had improved too, but were just relatively weaker.
In the future, he could only let them slowly improve by themselves or to let them take part in actual battles to grow stronger. Actually, demonic beasts would also be able to gradually take in Spiritual Qi to grow stronger as time passed. As long as they were demonic beasts, they would be able to grow stronger gradually and they could even rely on their blood lineage and might end up not having to cultivate much at all.
It seemed that all demonic beasts basically didn’t have to cultivate. They would at most just eat spiritual herbs or battle.
Having an increase in physical strength by over 50 stars was not considered little. After cultivating his other skills, when time was almost up, he left the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
It was already bright outside and Luan Luan was already up and going through her morning practice in a distance. Morning practice was very important to cultivators and cultivators in this world would all use the time in the morning to go about with their practice, since training during this period would be twice as effective and it would also be easy for one to gain breakthroughs or new comprehensions.
After breakfast, Qing Shui gave the four Origin Essence Soul Pearls to Luan Luan, saying, “Let them take these. It can make them a little stronger.”
Luan Luan smiled and received them without standing on ceremony. She then called out the Spirit Deer, Mystic-Armored Ice Ox, Golden Jiao King, and the strongest Earth Devouring Mouse.
“Father, do you think the Earth Devouring Mouse would be in any danger if it were to eat this?” Luan Luan asked after a slight hesitation.
Qing Shui told Luan Luan to let her Earth Devouring Mouse take one, and thus she called it out. However, she was still a little worried. These few Earth Devouring Mice had helped her a lot and even if she now had several powerful demonic beasts, she still treasured those ten little creatures a lot.
“I feel that this little creature has extremely powerful vitality. The Earth Devouring Mice isn’t an ordinary spiritual creature, so there shouldn’t be any problems. Let’s just see if the little creature has any confidence.” Qing Shui smiled and said to Luan Luan.
“Mm!” Luan Luan seemed to have been enlightened and she fed three of the pills to the other three beasts before walking up to the Earth Devouring Mouse.
Qing Shui had always hated mice the most. However, it wasn’t the same for the Earth Devouring Mouse. Although it had the word ‘mouse’ in its name, it wasn’t like a mouse at all. It was more like the extremely cute squirrel from his previous life.
Luan Luan put out the Origin Essence Soul Pearl right before the Earth Devouring Mouse, making a weird sound with her mouth. Qing Shui didn’t understand, but could see that the Earth Devouring Mouse was hesitating and struggling. However, in the end, it looked at the Origin Essence Soul Pearl hopefully.
“Father, it feels that it might not be able to take it well, but can’t bear to miss it. It wants to give it a try.” Luan Luan looked at Qing Shui and said helplessly.
“Then just give it a go, it’ll be fine!” Qing Shui smiled and said.
Right now, his spiritual sense was very strong and he could clearly sense how powerful the Earth Devouring Mouse was. Although it might be a little hard on the Earth Devouring Mouse for it to accept the Origin Essence Soul Pearl, it would definitely not be in any life-threatening situations. In the end, it would still receive great benefits.
When Luan Luan heard Qing Shui’s words, she happily fed the Earth Devouring Mouse the Origin Essence Soul Pearl.
No long later, the other three demonic beasts had an increase in their strengths by over 50 stars, which was about the same as what Qing Shui had experienced. Although there weren’t any major differences, the improvements to their battle techniques were on different scales, which meant that in fact, the amount of power they had gain were all different.
Very quickly, a faint violet color appeared on the Earth Devouring Mouse. Qing Shui had checked out the other three demonic beasts and didn’t see any physical changes to them. The Spirit Deer had just assimilated the additional power completely. This also let Qing Shui understood that amongst all of Luan Luan’s demonic beasts, the Spirit Deer was the one with the greatest room to grow.
Chi chi!
Very quickly, the Earth Devouring Mouse cried out, the violet light getting increasingly stronger. Qing Shui observed with his spiritual sense, and saw that this little creature’s body was really strong.
“Mmm, its body is starting to change.”
Although there was strong violet light on the Earth Devouring Mouse, he could still clearly see the transformation to its body.
This was the strongest one out of all ten Earth Devouring Mice. It had only grown stronger after having taken the precious “Crimson Pellet” and other medicinal pills. This time around, it had grown a lot stronger and its head now seemed even more metallic, its forehead very round. However, right in the middle of the forehead, a violet colored spiral horn that was about a foot long grew out.
Its four claws also looked sharper now. Right now, the Earth Devouring Mouse still wasn’t very big. It was only slightly bigger than a cow from Qing Shui’s previous life, but the sharpness and strength of its claws were not to be undermined.
Chi chi….
The Earth Devouring Mouse’s cries grew increasingly agitated and Luan Luan looked at it with unease. She occasionally glanced at Qing Shui, who appeared to be very calm. After about 15 minutes, the Earth Devouring Mouse gradually quietened down.
Luan Luan knew that it was alright now. The violet light also gradually dissipated. When Qing Shui and Luan Luan saw the Earth Devouring Mouse, they were both astonished.
It was because the Earth Devouring Mouse had completely changed in appearance. It now had a violet colored scale armor which couldn’t be seen earlier due to the presence of the violet light. However, they could now see it clearly. Its upper body looked like a violet colored lion with a scale armor, but its four limbs were very short yet extremely thick and sharp. The scale armor on its entire body made it appear very magnificent.
Right now, it looked like a small diamond beast. When Qing Shui saw the current Earth Devouring Mouse, he smiled, “Luan Luan, you’re really lucky. It has gone through a mutation.”
“Mmm, to think that it actually became a Dragon Devouring Mouse.”
Luan Luan found it unbelievable as well, and her expression reflected huge surprise. The Chance of such a situation occurring was very low and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant had only gone through a mutation previously because it had dragon’s blood in it and thus it wasn’t strange.
It was a bit dangerous for one without dragon’s lineage to use the Berserk Dragon’s Origin Essence Soul Pearl. Of course, it could also cause dragon’s lineage to appear in one’s body, but the chance of that occurring was extremely low. The success rate was even slimmer.
Some mouse-typed beasts in the world of the nine continents had dragon’s lineage. For example, the Fire Dragon Mouse and the Heavenly Dragon Mouse. However, these were only rumors.
