Furball's Life
Xia Fei passed through the thick colors and arrived at the edge of the restriction set up by the Law of Ternary Spectrum. He quietly crouched down and checked the situation outside.
There did not seem to be any sign of Mu Qiubo. Xia Fei was just about to return when he suddenly noticed that ice fragments were flying in the distance, as if it was snowing heavily.
"Eh? There seems to be a battle going on over there? "Gui Ying was puzzled.
Xia Fei frowned. He could not see clearly through the Law of Primal Chaos, so he quietly used his Law of Primal Chaos to pass through the restriction. He used Breath Control to move toward that direction, his footsteps very light.
Rumble!
The sounds of battle rose and fell, and when Xia Fei looked over, he saw a large group of snow-white spiders surrounding and attacking Mu Qiubo. Meanwhile, Mu Qiubo was hiding behind a spatial barrier with a helpless look on his face. He had a green Origin Crystal in his hand, and it seemed like he was using it to replenish his energy.
"That's a grade 5 Origin Crystal!" Gui Ying excitedly said, "This guy sure has some goods. To think that he could take out such a high-grade crystal."
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. The snow-white spiders were as large as cows, and they were everywhere, numbering in the thousands. There were quite a few spider corpses on both sides, clearly killed by Mu Qiubo. However, there were simply too many spiders, and it was impossible to kill them all. Mu Qiubo simply gave up on resisting, his face livid as he hid in the stronghold.
After observing Mu Qiubo's condition, Xia Fei quietly returned. Aside from enemies and a large number of strange spiders, the Eternal Ice Plains did not appear to be a peaceful place.
Suddenly, the ice beneath his feet shattered!
A snow-white spider that was even larger than a calf unexpectedly attacked Xia Fei from beneath the ice. Its eight long legs were like eight sharp spears, its green eyes flashing with a ferocious light, and its mouth was like a blender made of countless scimitars.
Bang!
Xia Fei's body suddenly soared into the air. With a flick of his wrist, the Dragonscale Hectoslasher directly chopped off the two front legs of the snow-white spider.
My wrist hurts!
The white spider's claws were very hard, and Xia Feis wrist was hurting from the impact!
"Crafty Approach!"
His body stuck close to the ground, Xia Fei dragged the Dragonscale Hectoslasher behind him.
"Blade Dragging Style!"
The blade drew a circle on the ground, and the remaining six legs of the white spider were all cut off! With a plop, the huge body of the white spider fell to the ground, struggling violently.
Bang!
The energy ball that Furball had spat out struck the white spider's body, and about a fifth of it instantly turned into white smoke that dissipated!
Xia Fei's heart skipped a beat. Furball's attack had the miraculous effect of turning matter into energy, yet it had actually failed to kill this spider with a single strike, which was a testament to how high its grade was!
Not daring to be careless, Xia Fei jumped up and stabbed the long saber in his hand into the spider's head!
Puchi!
The blade sank into the spider's bone, and Xia Fei twisted, injecting the power of the Law of Primal Chaos into the spider's body. Only then did he end its life.
Xia Fei's battle had attracted even more spiders. These monsters were extremely cunning, all of them hiding under the ice in an attempt to catch him off guard. The moment Xia Fei let his guard down, the white spiders would break through the ice and attack him!
Their numbers kept increasing, and it was as if these spiders were able to sense one another. If one of them discovered Xia Fei, a large number of them would swarm over!
"Chain Blockade!"
The tornado blew across the ice field, causing the spiders to sway. Even the ice layer was torn apart!
Chain Blockade was extremely powerful, so Mu Qiubo discovered Xia Fei's presence in the distance. He retracted his spatial barrier and used two punches to shatter the white spider closest to him, forcefully carving out a path of blood as he charged over!
"It's all because of you! You've caused me to be trapped in this bitter cold! I'm going to kill you! "
Mu Qiubo crazily yelled. Xia Fei crouched down, using strange footwork to escape from the spiders, using the Law of Primal Chaos to return to the forbidden zone.
Mu Qiubo did not have the ability to pass through the Law of Ternary Spectrum, so he could only defend against the attacks of the spiders while yelling at Xia Fei.
Smiling, Xia Fei gave Mu Qiubo the middle finger before turning around and leaving. It was fortunate that he had not driven him mad.
Returning to the pyramid, Xia Fei wiped off his cold sweat. Those spiders were not scary in a one-on-one fight, but there were simply too many of them. Even Xia Fei had a hard time dealing with them all.
"Did you see those Ice Spiders?" Old Sable asked with a smile.
Xia Fei nodded. "Most exotic beasts would've knelt down in fear upon seeing Furball, but I don't know why these fellows didn't react at all."
Old Sable glanced at Furball. "Your Holy Beast isn't bad, and it has great potential. Unfortunately, those Ice Spiders aren't exotic beasts but magical beasts of the Demon Race, so they naturally aren't afraid of Shatterstar."
"Magical beasts?" Xia Fei pursed his lips. This name made him think of that Demon Chrysalis. Of course, these spiders were not as powerful as the Demon Chrysalis, but they definitely had the upper hand in terms of numbers.
"Magical beasts were born from exotic beasts, and after being raised by us Demon Race for tens of millions of years, they've already formed their own system, completely breaking away from the shadow of exotic beasts. This Eternal Ice was originally the habitat of Ice Spiders, and their numbers are uncountable.
"Originally, Ice Spiders lived very deep underground, but your appearance has disturbed their peace, so they've all crawled out from tens of thousands of meters below the surface of the ice. That fellow outside is probably in big trouble. Those sleeping Ice Spiders are all waking up, and their numbers are increasing every day."
Xia Fei nodded. "What do you know about Shatterstar beasts?"
Xia Fei had once looked up information on Furball back in the Yu family, but unfortunately, the information was very general, only describing how powerful Shatterstar beasts would be once they matured. The rest of the information was pitifully little.
Old Sable said, "Holy beasts are all very strange fellows. Your Shatterstar's greatest strength isn't in helping you fight but in helping you destroy."
"Destroy?" Xia Fei furrowed his brows as he looked at the little Furball beside him. "This fellow really likes to cause destruction, and he'll often eat some strange things."
Old Sable chuckled. "Holy beasts are naturally mischievous, so there's nothing you can do about it. If you're counting on it to help you in battle, you're making a big mistake. Its strongest attack needs a long time to charge up, and if you want to destroy a planet, it's best to let an adult Shatterstar beast do it."
Xia Fei was very confused. "What do you mean by charging up?"
Old Sable said, "Have you realized that Shatterstar beasts haven't improved much lately?"
Xia Fei nodded. "Indeed. It's been a long time since Furball reached his second form, and he has two combat styles. One is offense, and the other is defense. He used to be very powerful in the Alliance, but after coming to the Law Realm, Furball's attacks became much weaker."
Old Sable said, "The reason is actually very simple. You've been using Shatterstar beasts too often, causing it to be exhausted before it can accumulate enough energy. Sigh! That's practically a waste of a heavenly treasure! A mighty Holy Beast actually became your hired thug. What do you mean by that? "
Xia Fei said, "Furball ate so many of my Origin Crystals, so why can't I get him to help me out a little?"
Old Sable shook his head. "You don't understand. Holy Beast Shatterstar only ever attacks once in its life!"
"Once in its life?!"
"That's right! Shatterstar beasts devour energy the moment they're born, accumulating energy so that when they mature, they can unleash an attack that will shock the heavens and make the gods weep!
"They use the energy they've accumulated all their lives, along with the strongest life force the universe has bestowed upon them, to unleash an unstoppable calamity! To destroy everything in its life!
"That's an attack that comes at the cost of one's life! The entire universe will tremble! No one will be able to match it! This is the true reason why Holy Beast Shatterstar is called a Holy Beast, the reason why it can look down on the entire universe!
"You're very lucky to have tamed a Holy Beast Shatterstar, but you're also very foolish to actually use it as an ordinary combat exotic beast," Old Sable said bluntly.
Xia Fei shuddered! He stared at Furball in shock.
It turned out that Furball was such an incredible Holy Beast!
It would spend its entire life only to unleash a single attack!
A calamity that would shake the entire universe, all because of him!
What kind of earth-shattering attack would that be!?
Would it tear the universe apart?!
"Sigh! It looks like the Law Realm has truly declined. That fellow with the Holy Beast Shatterstar doesn't know how to use it. "Old Sable sighed, feeling very sorry for Furball.
Furball seemed to understand Old Sable's words. It snuggled up next to Xia Fei, very quietly looking at him.
"One day, when you encounter an unimaginably powerful foe, one who can cause a black hole to collapse with a wave of his hand and reverse the flow of a galaxy with a stomp of his foot, when that time comes, the only thing you can rely on is this unremarkable little ball in front of you. He will use his life and the energy he's accumulated all his life to crush the enemy!"
Old Sable was extremely moved, his voice hoarse!
"When this attack is unleashed, the Holy Beast Shatterstar's mission will be complete. All its mischievousness, laziness, and eccentricity will vanish with its death. In some corner of the universe, a new Holy Beast Shatterstar will be born, and it will repeat what its ancestor did, remaining silent for a lifetime before unleashing its next attack.
"Every Holy Beast is unique. They have no kin, and they can't reproduce. All they can do is reincarnate again and again."
It was not just Xia Fei; even Phantom was extremely shocked!
Who could have imagined that this seemingly frail little life would bear such a huge responsibility!
Behind its daily laziness and mischievousness was actually a fearless soul!
Furball's image in Xia Fei's eyes suddenly grew. He had never imagined that Furball would become his strongest support in the future. When he encountered an enemy he could not defeat, he could only rely on him!
The final trump card!
The trump card that could turn the tides!
Xia Fei made up his mind. He would never use Furball too much in the future. He would let it slowly grow and become his strongest backup!
However, he would use his life and the energy he had accumulated all his life in exchange for his strongest attack! This sort of survival and reincarnation made Xia Fei feel somewhat cruel.
Though Xia Fei often hit and scolded this lazy little ball, he actually had a very deep relationship with it. Xia Fei was somewhat reluctant to use Furball's life in exchange for a Phantom God's Strike. He hoped that it would stay by his side forever.
He took out a grade 3 Origin Crystal and fed it to Furball. Furball happily ate it, filled with gratitude toward Xia Fei as his master.
"The Holy Beast Shatterstar needs to go through nine metamorphoses before it reaches adulthood. He's not far from his third metamorphosis, probably because he grew up by your side. His personality isn't bad, so treat him well from now on. Who knows, there might come a day when you'll need to rely on him."
Xia Fei firmly nodded. Even if Old Sable did not say anything, Xia Fei would still treat Furball well.
