Chapter 1348 - 854: Slaughter, Conquest, and Possession

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s advancement went exceptionally smoothly; in less than a day she broke through, roaring her way straight into Demon Emperor·Great Success Stage.

However, although Lord Baojun had successfully advanced, she didn’t move from her spot.

Because under the Silver Cat lay her favorite human cushion.

The Desolate Silver Lynx was like a Godslayer, sprawled in the very center of the Hunting Ground, and that sprawl lasted a full three days.

Under her terrifying aura, for several hundred meters around there were only trees; no living creature dared come near.

Only one kind of creature that didn’t know the meaning of death might accidentally wander in.

"Screee!" An Evil Snow Rabbit glared with bloodshot eyes, baring two huge, long buckteeth, and kept screeching at the silver behemoth.

At that moment, the Desolate Silver Lynx was lazily napping, enjoying a beautiful stretch of time.

She was in a beautiful mood, because Du Yu was behaving and staying honestly beneath her, unlike before when he’d only sleep for a day or half a day before getting anxious to leave.

Baojun had no desire to change the current situation, so as for the small fry off to the side and behind her, she couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.

She merely used her long Silver Tail to casually lash the ground once, neither too hard nor too soft.

"Pa!"

The Silver Tail cracked like a whip, carving a deep groove into the earth, full of warning.

"Screee!!" The Evil Snow Rabbit was startled at first, then bared its teeth and shrieked at the Desolate Silver Lynx’s back.

Brave?

Du Yu found it hard to use that word to evaluate the Evil Snow Rabbit.

Even though he was pinned under the Silver Cat, he could hear the rabbit’s shrill screeching, and even more clearly feel Lord Baojun’s annoyance.

The Evil Snow Rabbit clan was notoriously ill-tempered, fine, but their intelligence wasn’t very high either.

The Desolate Silver Lynx ignored it, and the rabbit only got more and more worked up, as if it had gained the upper hand.

"Screee! Screee!!" The Evil Snow Rabbit bounded up and down, its cries enough to drive anyone mad.

In the end, Baojun’s patience ran out.

The silver beast turned into a bolt of lightning, and in an instant appeared in front of the Evil Snow Rabbit, her silver beast head shrouding its own.

"Wu~ wuwu~" The rabbit first curled into a ball, then immediately turned tail to flee.

But it was already far too late.

With a crisp "pa," the Evil Snow Rabbit was slapped and sent flying several meters away.

Before the Great Demon Emperor, a mere Mortal Level Evil Snow Rabbit had absolutely no chance of surviving.

Unless the Demon Emperor simply didn’t intend to kill the prey.

"Wu~ wuwu~" The rabbit kept crying out, and like a ball of fur, it was kicked and smacked around by the Desolate Silver Lynx, driven back into the Jia Rong Grass.

At this moment, Du Yu was still lying obediently in the Jia Rong Grass, completely motionless.

The Desolate Silver Lynx loomed over Du Yu, her body turning into a mountain of flesh as she pressed down once more.

"Why aren’t you running away." The Desolate Silver Lynx asked in his mind.

She toyed with the prey by her paw, watching the Evil Snow Rabbit writhe and wail in pain beneath her claws.

In that moment, the lynx clan’s cruel nature was laid bare.

Though really, it seems in ordinary society, most feline species have a habit of playing with their prey?

"To spend more time with you, of course." Du Yu mumbled, his face buried deep in the soft fluff under the big cat’s belly.

"That is rare." The Desolate Silver Lynx snorted coldly. "You don’t have any tasks?"

Du Yu was indeed keeping her company, but he had never stopped his Cultivation. The Jia Rong Grass under him ceaselessly supplied Demon Breath to one man and one lynx.

"I do, but they don’t need me." Du Yu said quietly.

The Desolate Silver Lynx slapped the Evil Snow Rabbit’s head again. That light tap made the rabbit feel as if it had been hammered, almost transcending on the spot.

Her voice was hoarse as she spoke softly, "You’re not happy."

"No." Du Yu rubbed against the soft fur. "Staying here to cultivate with you and consolidate our realm, that’s pretty good."

"Heh, it better be."

"Of course it is." Du Yu indignantly bumped the lynx’s belly. "It’s been three days, have I complained even once?"

"Mm..."

"By the way, have you ever thought about what your Supreme Dao is?"

The sudden topic left the Desolate Silver Lynx a bit taken aback.

It was several seconds before she replied, "I’m only Earth Level·Great Success Stage, I haven’t become a Saint yet. Supreme is still far off."

Du Yu: "I used to worry your Talent was limited, but judging from your growth trajectory, there are no thresholds for you at all.

Once you hit Peak, isn’t it just Demon Saint next? It’ll be fast."

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s gaze turned strange as she toyed with the Evil Snow Rabbit shivering under her paw.

The bunny had stopped baring its teeth and stopped screeching, which she found rather unsatisfying.

Du Yu went on, "Within the Demon Saint Tier, there are no Minor Achievement, Great Success type thresholds.

Saint Level means that your physical body has already reached its most flourishing state.

Which is to say, you’ve already laid the foundation.

Once you become a Saint, you may become Supreme at any time."

The Desolate Silver Lynx: "Oh?"

"Yes. Cultivation Saint has nothing to do with physical toughness, total Demon Breath, that kind of thing; it’s all about ’Dao’."

Du Yu patiently explained, "Kui Chou’s Dao lies in controlling the Mountain Realm; Niuniu is an all-powerful God within this Mountain Realm.

Likewise, Celestial Cyan Porcelain is the God of the Sea Realm, the incarnation of the Sea Realm’s laws.

Aside from those Gods of certain domains, there are other paths to Supreme.

For example, the Saint of Flowing Fire, the Suanni’s Dao lies in guardianship.

So long as the Dragon Ship Flower does not die, the Flowing Fire Suanni’s Dao will not shatter.

And you? What do you think your Supreme Dao is?"

"Wu~ wuwu..." The Evil Snow Rabbit no longer had its earlier snarling arrogance, only constant, anguished wailing under the cat’s paw.

The Desolate Silver Lynx played with her prey as she said, "Slaughter. Conquest."

That answer was completely beyond Du Yu’s expectations.

Not because of her answer, but because of how fast she responded.

Du Yu had thought the Desolate Silver Lynx would mull it over for a very, very long time.

In fact, after he posed the question, he hadn’t expected to get an answer anytime soon.

As a top-tier Demon Tamer, he possessed a vision others did not.

Du Yu had only wanted to plant a seed in Desolate Silver Lynx’s heart ahead of time, so that she could one day comprehend the Great Demon Path.

He hadn’t expected Desolate Silver Lynx’s response to be so crisp and decisive.

"Smack!" Desolate Silver Lynx slapped her paw down on the Evil Snow Rabbit and slowly stood up.

She lowered her head, looking at Du Yu beneath her.

Facing those vicious vertical pupils, even though Du Yu was her master, he still felt a bit flustered at this moment.

Desolate Silver Lynx quietly stared at Du Yu for a long time, then uttered a single word: "Possession."

Du Yu: "..."

The silver beast skull slowly dipped down; the lynx’s nose pressed against Du Yu’s chest, nudging him forward a little. "My life is very simple, only these few intense desires.

Which one do you think suits me better?"

Du Yu steadied his mind and said softly, "That’s up to you."

Desolate Silver Lynx was silent for a while, then suddenly released her massive claws.

"Ooo~" The Evil Snow Rabbit hobbled away, desperately trying to flee into the distance.

This time, though, that terrifying beast paw never came down, and she didn’t torment it any further.

Desolate Silver Lynx... seemed to have already made her decision.

Slaughter, conquest, and possession.

Compared to the last one, she could give up the first two.

Du Yu’s expression turned odd. "Then you’ve already gotten what you wanted."

So, once Desolate Silver Lynx’s body reaches Saint Level, she could instantly attain Supreme?

Isn’t that a bit too easy?

Or is it that the two of us have some deviation in our understanding of the Supreme Dao?

"Is that so?" Desolate Silver Lynx stuck out her tongue and licked Du Yu’s face. "But there are still many people and many Demon Pets around you."

Du Yu’s face stiffened!

What do you mean by that?

You want to possess me alone, and send all the other living beings...

Desolate Silver Lynx: "Scared you?"

"Don’t joke about things like that." Du Yu pushed at the huge tongue with both hands, his expression very serious.

"Mm, got it." The silver beast skull pressed Du Yu down onto the Jia Rong Grass, licking him back and forth.

"Poof~" The colossal beast suddenly shattered into Demon Breath and was drawn into Du Yu’s body.

Desolate Silver Lynx: "You’re angry."

Du Yu sat up. "More like worried."

All along, Desolate Silver Lynx had had very little interaction with the other Demon Pets inside Du Yu.

That was her nature.

And personality-wise as well, Desolate Silver Lynx was completely out of tune with the other Demon Pets.

Back during the fight with the Lion Bone Scythe, in that special situation, Desolate Silver Lynx had once tackled Bai Yujing to the ground.

As a ferocious, bloodthirsty carnivore, the fact that the lynx didn’t bite into Little Deer was already a great show of restraint.

The only reason the Demon Pets can coexist peacefully is because of Du Yu, this Demon Tamer.

Desolate Silver Lynx was silent for a moment, then replied, "I promise you, I will never do that."

After all... my goal isn’t to push you away, much less to turn against you.

Du Yu shook his wet hands and then simply dismissed the Demon Breath Battle Robe.

"Sorry." In his mind, Shasha’s voice sounded again.

Ever since they had met, this was the first time Du Yu had heard Baojun apologize.

Desolate Silver Lynx had been allowed to run wild and had indeed been spoiled; all this time, Du Yu had done everything he could to satisfy her every need.

But some lines absolutely cannot be crossed—she can’t even entertain the slightest thought of it. Desolate Silver Lynx clearly realized something; the always domineering and sharp-tongued her actually softened for once.

Du Yu wiped his face again, then activated the Mountain and Sea Bell.

He returned to his home on the 16th floor, heading toward the master bedroom’s bathroom while peeling off clothing that reeked of cat.

Golden Leaf immediately stretched out its branches, picking up the clothes on the floor and handing over a phone at the same time.

Seeing the missed calls and messages on it, Du Yu directly dialed back.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Li Jing’s voice came through. "Junior Brother?"

"What is it, what’s going on?" Du Yu frowned slightly.

Li Jing hurriedly said, "There’s a senior looking for you—she’s already been waiting for you at Ancient Pine Tower for a whole day."

"What senior?"

Li Jing: "Fire Candle Silver Flowers of the Seven Saints of Great Xia."

"Ah?" Du Yu’s hand fell on the bathroom door handle. "Liao Sha?"

Li Jing answered immediately, "Yes, Elder Liao is currently waiting for you at Ancient Pine Tower·Emperor Mansion."

Du Yu was a bit puzzled. "What does Senior want with me?"

Li Jing: "I don’t know. Does Junior Brother want to meet her? If not, I’ll contact them here and have Elder Liao leave."

"Uh." Du Yu scratched his head.

He suddenly realized that he was already a "Worldly Expert" now, not someone just anyone could meet whenever they wanted.

A dignified member of the Seven Saints of Great Xia had already waited an entire day atop Ancient Pine Tower·Emperor Mansion; if she then got turned away at the door...

Wouldn’t that be a bit... not so great?

"Junior Brother?"

"I’ll go right now." Du Yu tossed the phone aside, quickly changed into a fresh set of clothes, and then flew out the window.

However, he had just flown out of Xishu Garden District when, amid a stream of words in the Contract, he descended onto the street.

"Whoosh~" As Demon Breath surged, a silver giant beast appeared behind Du Yu.

Desolate Silver Lynx stepped onto the asphalt road, not caring about the surroundings.

She lowered her beast skull, rubbing her cheek against his side. "Don’t be mad anymore, Du Yu, I’ll listen to you in everything."

The arrogant Lord Baojun now looked very much like a docile little kitty.

Her cautious demeanor made Du Yu smile helplessly.

"We’ll talk when we get back." Du Yu climbed along the beast skull up to the lynx’s head. "Go, that way."

"Meow."
