Chapter 551: In Furball’s Lifetime

Xia Fei passed through the thick colors and was now by the edge of the restriction boundary set by Law of Ternary Spectrum. He squatted without a sound and observed the situation outside.

There did not seem to be any trace of Mu Qiubo anywhere, but just as Xia Fei was about to turn back, he noticed ice chips whipping up in flight from quite far away, as if a blizzard was coming.

“Hmm? There seems... to be a battle unfolding over there,” Phantom said hesitantly.

Xia Fei furrowed his brows. The boundary, which was in his way, made it hard to make out what was happening that far out, but he slowly used his Law of Primal Chaos, piercing through the boundary and moving toward the commotion while using Breath Control with light footsteps.

*Kaboom!*

The sound of battle grew louder and louder. Xia Fei took a closer look and saw that a large pack of snow-white spiders had surrounded Mu Qiubo, who was hiding within his spatial barrier with a listless look on his face. He held onto a green Origin Crystal in hand, as if he was using it to slowly replenish his energy.

“That’s a grade 5 Origin Crystal!” Phantom said excitedly. “That guy has quite the goods on him, to actually take out such a high grade crystal.”

Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows. The snow-white spiders were as big as oxen, and there was a whole mountain of them. There were at least several thousands of them, with many spider carcasses on both sides, most likely killed by Mu Qiubo. However, due to the fact that there were truly too many spiders, to the point that there was no end to them, Mu Qiubo had given up on resisting and chosen to hide behind his barrier with an angry look on his face.

Xia Fei quietly made his way back after checking up on Mu Qiubo’s status. Aside from enemies, there were still legions of strange spiders around; the Eternal Ice Plains sure did not seem to be a peaceful place.

All of a sudden, the ice beneath his feet fissured!

A snow-white spider even bigger than an ox suddenly burst forth from beneath the ice and ambushed Xia Fei. Its eight huge and long legs were like eight sharp spears, its green eyes gleaming with vicious intent, and its mandibles were like a grinder made of countless curved knives!

*Bang!*

Xia Fei suddenly leaped into the air, and with a flick of his wrist, sent Dragonscale Hectoslasher out and immediately chopped off that spider’s two fore legs.

His wrist was in pain!

The claws from the snow-white spider were very sturdy, and the shock from the blow hurt Xia Fei’s wrist!

“Crafty Approach!”

Keeping his body close to the ground, Xia Fei pulled Dragonscale Hectoslasher behind him.

“Dragged Blade style!”

The sharp edge of the sword carved out a circle on the ground, and the remaining six legs of the snow-white spider were all chopped off! The huge body of the spider collapsed onto the ground and it struggled vigorously.

*Pew!*

Furball spat an energy ball right at that spider’s body, and about a fifth of it immediately turned into white smoke!

Xia Fei was shocked. Furball’s attack had the miraculous effect of turning matter into energy, and a single strike actually failed to kill the spider outright. That just went to show how high their grade was!

Not risking negligence, Xia Fei jumped up and stuck his sword right into the spider’s brain!

*Crunch*

The blade plunged into flesh, and Xia Fei gave it a twist, while also implanting the power of the Law of Primal Chaos right into its body, and only then did he manage to end its life.

Xia Fei’s fight drew even more spiders to him, and these creatures were abnormally cunning. They had all hidden themselves beneath the ice in an attempt to wait for the chance to strike. The moment Xia Fei slacked even the slightest, these spiders would all break through the ice and attack him!

Their numbers increased, almost as if the spiders were communicating with one another. The moment one discovered Xia Fei, even more began swarming over!

“Chain Blockade!”

The tornadoes tore through the icy plains, throwing all the spiders everywhere. Even the ice surface cracked!

The power of Chain Blockade was great, and Mu Qiubo discovered Xia Fei’s presence in the distance. He dismissed his spatial barrier and struck the nearest snow-white spider with two punches before he began slaying his way out, leaving a trail of blood after him!

“This is all your fault! Causing yours truly to be trapped here in this bitter cold! I’M GONNA KILL YOU!” Mu Qiubo yelled madly as Xia Fei stooped low. With weird footwork, he escaped from the mass of spiders and retreated through the boundary with his Law of Primal Chaos.

Mu Qiubo did not have the ability to get past the Law of Ternary Spectrum, so he had no choice but to defend from the spiders mobbing him outside, even as he kept bellowing at Xia Fei.

With a smile, Xia Fei stuck a middle finger to Mu Qiubo before turning to leave, nearly infuriating the latter to death.

Returning to the base of the pyramid, Xia Fei wiped his sweat. Those spiders were no issue if fought alone, but there were simply too many of them, and that made it difficult for Xia Fei to handle.

“Have you seen those Ice Spiders yet?” Old Sable asked while chuckling.

Xia Fei nodded. “Most exotic beasts will be scared to the point of cowering when they see Furball, yet for some reason, these spiders barely reacted to his presence.”

Old Sable glanced over at Furball and said, “Your holy beast is pretty good, with great potential to boot. Unfortunately, these Ice Spiders aren’t any exotic beasts, but demonic beasts of the Demon Race, so of course they won’t be afraid of Shatterstar.”

“Demonic beasts?” Xia Fei pursed his lips. Hearing this name caused him to think of the Demon Chrysalis, and obviously these spiders were nowhere as powerful, but they definitely held a superior advantage in terms of numbers.

“Demonic beasts were born from exotic beasts, and after our Demon Race reared them for millions of years, they can now be considered separate species, completely breaking away from the shadows of exotic beasts. These Eternal Ice Plains are the habitats of Ice Spiders, and their numbers are uncountable.”

“Originally, Ice Spiders live very deep underground, but the appearance of you two have disturbed their sleep, so they’ve burrowed up to the surface through tens of thousands meters of ice. That guy outside is about to get really unlucky, for those sleeping Ice Spiders have started to wake up slowly, and their numbers will only increase with each passing day.”

Xia Fei nodded. “What do you know about the Shatterstar beast?”

Xia Fei had previously looked up information pertaining to Furball, but what he found was very general, merely stating how powerful it would become upon reaching adulthood, with barely any additional information.

Old Sable answered, “Holy beasts are very strange creatures. The greatest ability of your Shatterstar beast isn’t in helping you during battle but rather in helping you destroy.”

“Destroy?” Xia Fei furrowed his brows as he turned to Little Furball beside him. “This pet of mine does indeed love destroying things, often eating some really strange things.”

Old Sable laughed. “Holy beasts are mischievous in nature, so that can’t be helped. If you are hoping that your pet can be helpful during battle, then you’ll be sorely mistaken. A Shatterstar’s strongest attack requires a very long time to brew, so if you plan to destroy a planet, it will be suited to hand that task to an adult Shatterstar.”

Xia Fei was confused. “What do you mean by ‘brew’?”

Old Sable replied, “Did you notice how your Shatterstar beast hasn’t been making any progress recently?”

Xia Fei nodded meaningfully. “Indeed, it has been a long time since Furball achieved his second form, learning two types of combat, with the first being attack and the second being defense. He was originally very powerful in the Alliance, but ever since it got to the Law Realm, Furball’s attack has evidently become much weaker.”

Old Sable said, “The reason is simple; You’ve used your Shatterstar beast too much, causing him to no longer have enough accumulated energy! What a waste of a treasure! A dignified holy beast reduced to be your henchman.”

Xia Fei said, “Furball has been eating so many of my Origin Crystals. What’s wrong with getting him to help me here and there?”

Old Sable shook his head. “You don’t understand at all; a holy beast Shatterstar can only attack once in its whole life!”

“Once in its whole life?!”

“That’s right! A Shatterstar beast will only consume energy from birth, and with the greatest vitality bestowed upon it by this universe, it is capable of demonstrating devastating catastrophe!

“It will be a singular attack that is paid for with life! The entire universe will be shaken by it! No one can compare! The real reason why the holy beast Shatterstar is called a holy beast is its disregard for the universe!

“You’re very fortunate to have taken in a holy beast, but you’re also a fool to have used him like a common combat exotic beast,” Old Sable said discourteously.

Xia Fei shook all over! He looked in surprise at Furball.

So Furball was actually such an impressive holy beast!

Living its whole life just to make one attack!

A catastrophe that could shake the entire universe—all caused by it!

It was hard to imagine just how shocking this one attack could be!

Could it tear the entire universe apart!?

“Looks like the Law Realm has truly declined... The man who owns the holy beast Shatterstar doesn’t even know what his pet does.” Old Sable sighed, feeling sorry for Furball.

Fireball seemed to understand Old Sable’s words, but he just quietly snuggled up next to Xia Fei, looking up at him with big eyes.

“One day, when you meet an unimaginably powerful opponent, able to cause black holes to collapse with the raise of his hand, and their kick can cause a galaxy to flow backward, when that time comes, the only thing you can rely on is that insignificant looking little ball beside you. It will use its life and the energy which has accumulated its entire life to disintegrate that opponent!”

In Old Sable’s great agitation, his voice had already become hoarse!

“After dealing this one attack, the duty of the Shatterstar beast will also be over. All its mischievousness, laziness, and peculiarities will disappear with its death, and in a certain corner of the universe, another holy beast Shatterstar will be born. It will repeat what its ancestors did, absorbing energy for a lifetime before unleashing one attack.

“Every holy beast is unique and they have no kin to speak of, nor will they give birth. The only thing it can do is reincarnate time and again.”

Not just Xia Fei, even Phantom was extremely surprised upon learning all these!

Who would have guessed that the seemingly weak little life would bear such a heavy burden?

Behind its indolent and delinquent ways was actually a fearless soul!

Xia Fei’s impression of Furball suddenly shot high up. He had never imagined that Furball would become his strongest reliance and that the beast would be the only one who could save him when faced with an enemy he could not defeat!

The final trump card!

A trump card that could turn the tables!

Xia Fei secretly made the decision never to use Furball again, letting him slowly grow up and become his most powerful backup.

However, to exchange the energy the beast accumulated his entire life and his life himself for the most powerful attack, Xia Fei felt that such a life and reincarnation to be a bit cruel.

Though Xia Fei would often beat and scold this lazy ball, his feelings for him were very deep. To exchange Furball’s life for an insane attack, Xia Fei was very reluctant, thinking that it would be better if he could just keep his pet around him forever.

He pulled out a grade 3 Origin Crystal to feed Furball, who happily ate it, very grateful to his master.

“Your holy beast Shatterstar needs to undergo nine transformations before he can reach adulthood, and it’s not long before he will reach his third transformation. Most likely because he has been growing beside you, he gained a decent temperament. Treat him well from here on out, and maybe one day, you’ll be able to rely on him.”

Xia Fei nodded. Even if Old Sable had not said that, Xia Fei would definitely treat Furball well, too.

Changing the topic, Old Sable asked, “There’s something I don’t get, though... You actually already own the powerful Nature-class Immemorial Mystical Armament, Peacock Blue, so why have I never seen you use it?”
