Chapter 429 -247: Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost

Under Tao En’s cultivation, the Diamond Poison Golem’s Bloodline successfully transformed when it advanced to the Extraordinary Tier.

It had evolved into a creature named the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost!

Zhong Yi looked at Shen Xuan’s two Guardian Beasts.

He noticed that the newly evolved Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost had a much stronger presence than Shen Xuan’s Order Beast Mother of Ten Thousand Erosions.

When it was a Diamond Poison Golem at Mortal Beast Tier, Bronze Quality, its height already exceeded four meters.

The plate on its back, when unfolded, was nearly ten meters long.

But now, as a Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost at Extraordinary Tier, Silver Quality, its height had reached eight meters.

Its body was covered in a layer of Crystal Armor that resembled a mirror, capable of refracting light.

The plate on its back had transformed into a pair of wide, flexible wings that could flap and bend.

If these wings were fully spread, the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost would become a behemoth with a wingspan of over fifteen meters.

Zhong Yi had been the one to help Shen Xuan’s Order Beast Mother of Ten Thousand Erosions advance to Extraordinary Tier, Silver Quality.

Zhong Yi had already seen the stats for the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother.

Instead of using All Things Exploration on the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother again, Zhong Yi inspected the Diamond Poison Golem whose Bloodline had clearly undergone a transformation.

[Guardian Beast Name]: Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost

[Guardian Beast Species]: Gargoyle Species/Gargoyle Species

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Tier (10/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Demon Spirit Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Silver Quality

Skills:

[Poison Golem Power]: During battle, it can absorb toxins to enhance its combat endurance and activate the petrifying toxins within its body. After absorbing toxins, its own toxins will change based on the toxins absorbed.

[Prism Armor]: Combines toxins with the Earth Element to form armor with special abilities. This armor has a certain reflective effect against Elemental Energy and can halve physical damage by buffering the impact.

Exclusive Traits:

[Guardian Poisonous Diamond]: By consuming its absorbed toxins, it can form a layer of Poisonous Diamonds on its body’s surface. These Poisonous Diamonds can effectively resist external damage. Their Defense Power is related to the strength and level of the toxin energy consumed.

[Breathing Poison Source]: Whenever a target within range dies from damage caused by its homologous toxins, it will be healed, and its consumed Energy will be restored.

Fairy Guardian Beasts have many diverse paths of Evolution.

Zhong Yi’s contracted Thousand-Eyed Moon Demon and Endless Wood Demon both awakened their Fairy Bloodlines and transformed into small, exquisite Fairies.

But Shen Xuan’s Demon Spirit Guardian Beast had taken the path of demonizing its own body.

The name Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost perfectly encapsulated the Skill, Prism Armor, that it gained at the Extraordinary Tier.

The Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost commanded the Earth Element and its own toxins, combining them to form this mirror-like armor.

Not only could this armor reflect a portion of the damage from Elemental Attacks, but when faced with close-range physical attacks, it could actually halve the damage directly.

Paired with the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost’s Exclusive Trait, Guardian Poisonous Diamond, it could synergize with Shen Xuan’s Order Beast Mother of Ten Thousand Erosions.

This made the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost’s defense describable as nigh-impenetrable.

The stronger the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost’s defense, the more safely Shen Xuan could command the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother to deal damage from the rear.

As a defensive Guardian Beast, the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost’s purpose was to buy Shen Xuan more time to deal damage and to protect his safety.

To achieve these goals, the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost was exceptionally prone to injury.

The Exclusive Trait it gained upon advancing to Silver Quality, Breathing Poison Source, gave the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost much greater sustainability.

Not only could the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost use its Basic Skill, Poison Golem Power, to absorb toxins and enhance its combat endurance, but because it had absorbed the toxins of the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, it now controlled toxins from the same source.

Whenever the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother killed other Creatures with its poison, the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost could use its Exclusive Trait, Breathing Poison Source, to heal itself at the moment of their death and recover its consumed Energy.

The more Zhong Yi looked at the Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost, the more amazed he became!

With this Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost protecting Shen Xuan, even if he didn’t contract any other Guardian Beasts, he could still accomplish great things in the Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

Seeing Zhong Yi give him a thumbs-up, Shen Xuan let out a bashful laugh.

Zhong Yi’s approval made Shen Xuan exceptionally happy.

Shen Xuan, who had been attending Starlight Academy every day, often thought back to his bullied self at the Greenfield Tavern.

‘If it weren’t for Zhong Yi, after I was sent to the mines like a piece of trash… I’d probably be dead by now!’

‘Inside the Greenfield Tavern, I was treated like a monster because my body was covered in purple marks.’

‘If the supervisors at the mines had seen me as an evil spirit, I would have likely been buried alive on the spot.’

Meeting Zhong Yi was what had caused such a dramatic reversal in his life.

This made Shen Xuan feel ever more grateful to Zhong Yi, but it also made him want to work harder to improve himself.

Besides not wanting to fall behind, Shen Xuan also held the ambition of wanting to protect Zhong Yi.

Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling had been attending Starlight Academy together.

Besides attending theory classes together, they also took practical combat classes.

Before Zhong Ling reached the Extraordinary Tier, Shen Xuan could easily suppress her.

But thinking about his recent battles with Zhong Ling, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but say to Zhong Yi with a bitter expression,

“Young Master, didn’t you say that as a Celestial Destiny Seeker with SS Level potential, I should have a stronger Talent than Guardian Beast Masters who aren’t Celestial Destiny Seekers?”

“But why do I feel like Zhong Ling is stronger than me now!”

“Before Zhong Ling got that dual Wind and Space Element Butterfly Guardian Beast, I could still put up a fight against her.”

“But ever since she got it and started using it to support her Blade Princess Butterflies in battle,”

“my Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost can’t withstand her burst of power at all.”

When Zhong Yi heard Shen Xuan mention that Zhong Ling had a dual Space and Wind Element Butterfly Guardian Beast,

he immediately thought of the Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly he had helped her buy at the Exotic Beast Garden.

Zhong Yi had deliberately had Zhong Ling form a Contract with that Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly, with Tao En helping to cultivate it.

While cultivating the Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly, Zhong Yi had given a lot of advice.

He had Tao En continuously use a Potion, concocted from Void Floating Duckweed and the phosphorus powder of a Storm Flash Butterfly, to induce its development.

Zhong Yi was a little curious about what Tao En had managed to cultivate the Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly into.

Seeing Zhong Yi’s inquisitive gaze, Zhong Ling first summoned the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly that was anchored by her Guardian Beast Master Talent, the Mother’s Cocoon Room.

Then, she summoned the Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly Shen Xuan had just mentioned, along with her Lifebound Guardian Beast.

The Soul Vein Mother Butterfly was originally only the size of two palms.

Now that it had advanced to the Extraordinary Tier and its Quality had improved, the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly spread its wings.

They could not only perfectly cover Zhong Ling’s face, but also the pigtails she had tied up.

When the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly advanced to Bronze Quality, it gained an Exclusive Trait called Soul Energy Expansion.

Upon advancing to Silver Quality, the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly gained another Exclusive Trait that increased its Soul Strength.

One could say that this Soul Vein Mother Butterfly’s Skills and Exclusive Traits were a perfect fit for Zhong Ling’s needs.

Although there was a great deal of randomness in what Skills and Exclusive Traits a Guardian Beast gained during Evolution, having a Six-finger Creator to help with targeted cultivation changed things.

Through inducement and intervention, it was highly probable that a Guardian Beast could be guided to acquire a certain type of Skill or Exclusive Trait.

The Bloodline of Zhong Ling’s Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Rebirth Butterfly, had also clearly undergone a transformation.

The dazzling, colorful sheen on the Rebirth Butterfly’s wings had now completely vanished.

In its place was a pure black, and six dark red markings, like dried blood, had faintly appeared at the tips of its wings.

This feature indicated that the Rebirth Butterfly had completely activated the Nether Butterfly Bloodline within its body.

However, compared to the Rebirth Butterfly that had activated its Nether Butterfly Bloodline, the changes in the Mutated Wind Flash Butterfly were undoubtedly even greater.
