Chu Yunling also felt it was inappropriate.
With both her spirit beasts summoned, no one in the Chu family would likely be her match!
So she recalled the Golden Saint Elder,
leaving only the Azure Heaven Thundercloud Dragon outside!
Chu Zhennan was still being forced back step by step!
After centuries of cultivation,
the Azure Heaven Thundercloud Dragon's bloodline had become extremely close to that of a True Dragon,
"Incredible! Is Chu Yunling now the strongest in our Chu family?"
"Even Chu Huang and the others probably can't match her!"
The spectators were shocked.
"Aside from her two Demon Emperor spirit beasts, she herself is a genuine Martial Emperor powerhouse—equivalent to three Emperor-tier combatants. No matter how strong others are, they can't possibly be her match!"
"I'm so envious of Beast Tamers! Unfortunately, becoming one requires awakening the spirit cave talent, which is even rarer than special physiques or martial spirits!"
Many looked at Chu Yunling with envy. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelꞁire.net
Contracting several powerful spirit beasts
to gang up on opponents in battle—
what an absolute delight!
Chu Zhennan was defeated,
though this didn't mean he was weak—
rather, Chu Yunling's contracted spirit beasts were simply too strong!
The Chu family had multiple training grounds,
with intense battles occurring on each.
Chu Zhan and Chu Xiuran clashed once more.
If their previous fights held anything back,
this time they were going all out!
One had achieved Emperor-tier in cultivation realm,
the other in physical body—
each with their own advantages.
Though Chu Xiuran's Purple Heaven Thunder Body was Saint-grade, slightly superior to Chu Zhan's King-grade Diamond Battle Physique, the latter had mastered the "Flood" Fist from the Eight Trigram Divine Fist techniques,
making his combat power unimaginably formidable.
both unleashed their ultimate skills.
Golden lightning soon filled the training ground
like a thunderous purgatory,
its divine might suppressing heaven and earth.
Chu Xiuran had developed his Purple Heaven Thunder Body to an extreme level.
To Chu Zhan and the spectators' shock,
the lightning actually took the form of the Beast God,
roaring as it charged at Chu Zhan!
the lightning then transformed into the shape of the Myriad Dragons Pagoda,
bearing down on its target!
"Holy shit! What kind of martial technique is this?"
Chu Zhan was stunned.
When the True Dragon and divine pagoda appeared,
he faintly sensed a wisp of the Beast God's aura,
scaring him half to death!
Immediately going all out,
he unleashed the "Flood" Fist,
its fist light crisscrossing
with overwhelmingly violent momentum
to suppress the attacking thunder dragon and divine pagoda.
Inside the Dragon Emperor Palace,
Long Yuan's face showed astonishment.
Even he faintly detected traces of his own aura
on Chu Xiuran's thunder dragon and pagoda.
"Why would my aura be there?"
"What kind of divine ability is this?"
"Wait—it's not just a trace of aura. There seems to be a sliver of my power and the Myriad Dragons Pagoda's as well!"
Long Yuan drew a sharp breath,
his usually calm expression finally showing shock.
Though it contained only a tiny fraction,
he was at the Infinite Realm!
That tiny fraction could let Chu Xiuran fight across realms!
even with Chu Zhan mastering the "Flood" Fist,
he was instantly defeated
after Chu Xiuran unleashed this divine ability!
"Did you cheat and ask the Beast God to intervene?"
Chu Zhan wiped blood from his mouth while sprawled on the ground,
it had felt like the Beast God himself had descended!
Chu Xiuran helped Chu Zhan up, saying,
"Why would the Beast God intervene in Dragon Protector Guard selections?"
"Then why was his aura there? Scared me to death!"
"That was a divine ability I developed myself—though it's still rudimentary."
Chu Xiuran explained proudly.
Chu Zhan's eyes bulged,
staring at Chu Xiuran as if seeing a monster.
Chu Tianyang and Chu Jingyue, who'd just arrived,
nearly stumbled in shock.
A self-created divine ability?
had such an incredible figure emerged in their Chu family?
"How... how did you develop this?"
Chu Tianyang asked curiously.
He too had sensed the Beast God's faint aura,
almost thinking the deity had appeared.
"It really was accidental. I was just experimenting with manifesting the Beast God's lifebound artifact through lightning, when unexpectedly, I replicated a trace of its spiritual essence!"
"And it seems to possess a sliver of his power too!"
Chu Xiuran rubbed his chin.
Chu Zhan's eyes widened.
Did that mean the thunder dragon had a fraction of the Beast God's strength?
Chu Xiuran's combat power would be terrifying!
No one knew how strong the Beast God truly was.
could likely suppress everyone!
"It seems our Chu family has truly produced an extraordinary figure this time!"
Chu Jingyue marveled.
the Beast God's voice had just spoken in his ear.
Chu Tianyang asked, noticing his odd expression.
"The Beast God instructed me to see him after the Dragon Protector Guard selections."
"Sss—! It seems your divine ability caught his attention. I suspect he may bestow you with an opportunity!"
Chu Jingyue said solemnly.
Even in its embryonic, incomplete state,
no one could deny this technique's power.
If it could borrow a trace of the Beast God's strength now,
The mere thought made everyone shudder.
Long Yuan, who'd been observing, was equally stunned.
He'd assumed Chu Xiuran's technique came from some sacred land's legacy,
never imagining it was self-created.
Such comprehension surpassed ordinary geniuses!
"Chu Xiuran's comprehension is exceptional!"
Physique, martial spirit, spirit cave, and comprehension all constituted cultivation talent.
Those with higher comprehension mastered techniques and divine abilities far faster than others.
Given the extraordinary nature of this self-created technique,
Long Yuan saw no harm in assisting him.
After dozens of days,
the Dragon Protector Guard selections concluded.
As Chu Tianyang and others expected,
Chu Xiuran became one of the Twin Dragon Venerables—
primarily due to his astonishing self-created technique
that left many shocked.
"I thought the other Dragon Venerable would be Chu Huang or Chu Jianchen!"
Chu Jianchen was the previous Twin Dragon Venerable,
while Chu Huang was the recently emerged dark horse
with combat power rivaling Chu Jianchen's.
Yet the outcome surprised everyone.
"Chu Xiuran's self-created technique is too overpowered!"
"With a trace of the Beast God's power, how could anyone not be crushed?"
"So envious! When will I ever create such a powerful martial technique?"
"Hah, don't even dream about it! Creating techniques isn't simple—it requires exceptional comprehension and serendipity. Inspiration strikes but momentarily!"
"Our Chu family now has countless powerhouses, yet only Chu Xiuran has created his own technique. That shows how difficult it truly is!"
