In the beast space, Wild Bear was lying on a grass patch covered by a green leaf. Field of vision filled with the green leaf, Wild Bear was resting on its arm, thinking, “When will I be able to go out and fight? I’ve been really bored recently. The new Astral Spirit has broken through to the tenth stage? That’s great. Then I should be able to reach that level, also known as the singularity of the universe, too, right? I’ll definitely be able to do it. It should only be a matter of time.”

Suddenly, a crystal fell into Wild Bear’s arms. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a principle source crystal!

Awooo!

Wild Bear became excited, sensing the three principles of strength, speed, and defense within!

“I’ll give it to you. You can use it however you want,” the familiar Beastmaster’s voice sounded.

To Chu Feng, no matter how valuable an item was, it was still something to be used. No treasure was more important than his actual strength.

Awooo!

Wild Bear nodded excitedly and swallowed the principle source crystal. Since it was good-quality, it had to swallow it! The principle source crystal in Wild Bear’s stomach gradually turned into strands of divine origin strength.

Since Wild Bear’s body already had many skills that provided all sorts of bonuses, presently, its attributes were already high in value. However, with the principle source crystal, they suddenly experience a huge increase. From that, one could also see how powerful the principle source crystal was. At the moment, the Wild Bear was only one step away from the ninth stage.

Chu Feng was not surprised. If one could reach the ninth stage just by completely refining the principle source crystal, then there wouldn’t be so few ninth stage achievers in the entire God’s world. Furthermore, even someone as strong as Shen Luo couldn’t make a beast reach the ninth stage.

When Luo He killed an immortal, it would definitely be no different from him slaughtering livestock. He might even kill one on a whim, then take the other party’s energy and refine it into his own. Even so, Luo He said that the ninth stage was an unreachable domain. However, just because he couldn’t do it, didn’t mean that Chu Feng couldn’t do it. Even though Wild Bear wasn’t able to reach the ninth stage yet, it was possible in the future, and the tenth stage was no exception.

Awooo.

Even so… Chu Feng found it regretful that Wild Bear didn’t reach the ninth stage. If it did, he would have given it growth points to continue enhancing. As a beastmaster, Chu Feng had his own beliefs. Although he had unlimited growth points to rely on, growth points were only a means to enhance his beasts. If his beasts weren’t capable enough, then no matter how strong they were, they wouldn’t be able to control their power. If their strength backfired, it would take a toll on them.

Chu Feng didn’t want his beasts to rely entirely on him. After all, only by being strong on their own would they be truly strong. His beasts weren’t pampered ones either; they were incomparably strong beasts. The reason why he was so particular about the ninth stage advancement was mainly that in the future, after they became immortal, the beasts’ comprehension of principles relied entirely on themselves.

Chu Feng’s SSS-rank talent wasn’t omnipotent. He could infinitely enhance the skills and talents of his beasts, but he couldn’t affect their principles! A profound comprehension of the principles had to depend on the beasts themselves. Although he could take shortcuts, such as making them ingest and refine principle source crystals, their foundation was important. Even as SSS-rank beastmaster, Chu Feng himself had reached the peak through baby steps.

Currently, one of his six beasts, the Astral Spirit, had already touched upon the principles. After comprehending the Star God heritage to overlord-level, Hera achieved peak comprehension of Origin Refinement. To be more precise, she only needed a little more comprehension to condense her own principle source crystals.

Although she could break through to immortality, Chu Feng felt that Hera didn’t need to rush. In any case, none of the current enemies could be defeated. Thinking of that, Chu Feng suddenly remembered that he still had a battle in the virtual world. The agreed time was approaching, and it was time to go.

…

In the battle area of the virtual world, many beings, including immortals, were paying attention to the battle for the top spot in the Totem Battlefield.

“I keep feeling that Tyrant is just a native human from some remote planet. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he use his own name?”

“What a wild guess. Which life planet’s native is as powerful as him?”

“Have you forgotten about the saying that there are no strong ones on indigenous planets? If you ask me, just like the Hanlin who didn’t reveal their face in the past, Tyrant is also a hidden SSS-rank beastmaster! It’s just that he hasn’t explicitly said it yet.”

“Why are humans always producing geniuses? !”

“They have both divine providence and the Great Treasure Vault. It’d be strange if they didn’t rise up.”

“Even the top 100 on the God’s World Species Leaderboard would be envious of the Great Treasure Vault that the humans inherited from the chaos era!”

“I heard that the Great Treasure Vault has everything to trade for, and it seems to be endless? !”

“Sigh, if our species also had that kind of vault, it wouldn’t be impossible for us to become number one on the leaderboard…”

“The humans are favored by the gods, and it’s harming the interests of the other living beings.”

“We’re getting sidetracked! The betting is about to end. Can you guess whether the final winner will be Hanlin or Tyrant?”

“Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely Hanlin!”

“I’m betting on Hanlin too!”

“Hanlin is a legendary beastmaster who can fight against the Immortal Star Lord. His subordinates are all Totem beasts. Even if Tyrant really has SSS-rank talent, he still can’t compare to the number one genius on the Totem Battle Leaderboard who’s not been replaced for years!”

“I’ve never seen anyone stronger than Hanlin when I was at totem-level!”

“One is an SSS-rank beastmaster at eighth stage totem-level who is also the top one in his level while the other is an overlord-level beastmaster with only six beasts. The result is already very clear.”

“Hanlin will definitely win. Hurry up and place your bets!”

“Wait, isn’t this betting ratio wrong? Why are there still so many people who choose Tyrant? !”

Amidst the discussions, the final battle for the top spot began.

The board wrote: “Eastern divine region, human, Tyrant vs. central divine region, human, Hanlin.”

Just as he entered the battlefield, Chu Feng saw a pair of black eyes that were filled with stubbornness.

Hanlin frowned and spat, “Why haven’t I seen you in the central divine region before? I asked the chief of my tribe and even the true God ancestor, but they were unable to determine your identity. Who exactly are you?”

Chu Feng did not plan to answer. “Why don’t we fight first?”

Han Lin frowned. “Could it be that you’re a descendant of the human ancestors who were left behind in the extraterrestrial region? There are many remote planets in the eastern divine region, and there are human survivors on them… Even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find you sooner or later if I go over them one by one.”

Chu Feng’s expression was as unmoving as a mountain. He sighed inwardly and felt somewhat helpless. “So what if you really find me?”

“Do you know that although we humans are powerful now, it’s just for show?”

Hanlin thought that the other party didn’t know. Then, he said cautiously, “Of course, humans are powerful in battle, but the treasures we have are even more coveted! Since the beginning of the chaos, we humans have a supreme treasure that other species have been eyeing on, the Great Treasure Vault!”

Chu Feng was stunned. Great Treasure Vault? Could it be that the Great Treasure Vault on the earth was part of the entire vault? If the Great Treasure Vault was so famous, it was impossible that Luo He did not know something about it… Perhaps he had chosen to hide it. Even if it was just a part of the chaotic Great Treasure Vault, it still contained infinite value.

Hanlin was extremely solemn. “Although the humans have established a major alliance in the central divine region, the situation is not optimistic. Since you are so talented, why don’t you return to the main branch of the humans in the central divine region and contribute to the development of our species?”
