On the other side.
There is still half a month of travel left to reach the destination left by Elara Silverwood.
Aster Grant traveled swiftly with several Beastbonds, continuously clearing out Demon Clan outposts along the way.
The battles during this period made him clearly feel that the first Divine Pattern on his forehead was becoming increasingly full.
The golden lines surged with trendous power, as if they could break through the critical point at any mont.
"It seems that soon, the first Divine Pattern will bring about Attribute Enhancent."
His current goal is very clear—
First, enhance his Attributes to Commander-level Peak while preparing for Veridia’s final advancent.
He had a premonition in the depths of his mind:
First enhancing the Beastbond’s Talent to Myth Nine Stars, then assisting them to break through to Monarch Level would bring an even more astounding enhancent!
And now...
Vera and Lazuli’s Talents had already been enhanced to Myth Nine Stars.
Sally’s talent was simply too low...
Raising it to Myth Nine Stars was too difficult, so it was not considered.
As for Veridia, all that’s left is the Ghost Core material.
And Scarlett...
[Ghost Race (Scarlett)]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth Five Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier Nine]
[Power: 20000→50000]
[Constitution: 20000→50000]
[Spiritual: 20000→50000]
[Speed: 20000→50000]
[Skills: Instant Flash, Voidification, Void Cutting, Void Domain]
Although her Level had reached Commander Tier Nine last ti, none of her Attributes had reached the limits of this level.
Aster Grant’s current plan at the Commander Level is to...
Simultaneously enhance Scarlett’s Talent to Myth Nine Stars and strive to max out her Attributes.
After all, although Scarlett is not particularly adept at combat, her manipulation of the Void is an indispensable ability for him.
Moreover...
Scarlett is also his Beastbond, so naturally, he couldn’t favor one over the other.
However, the materials needed to enhance Scarlett’s Talent are a headache for him:
[Void Stone, Heart of Void, Void Insect Race Essence Blood]
He had heard about the Void Stone material.
The other two, he hadn’t heard of at all!
As for that Void Insect Race Essence Blood...
To be honest.
Aster Grant hadn’t heard of this race in the Alternate Space.
Let alone...
Obtain this race’s essence blood!
Thinking of this, he lightly shook his head.
For now, he should focus on Veridia’s Talent Enhancent and his own Attribute breakthrough first.
As for Scarlett’s materials, he’ll have to slowly explore later.
After all, who knows when the next Divine Realm will open.
By then, those who can enter the Divine Realm will be below Totem Level.
To be honest, in his current Status, he didn’t have full confidence.
Even when facing Monarch-level powerhouses, no matter how strong the opponent was, he was confident in defeating them in battle.
But if he encountered an opponent at Half-step Totem Level...
Aster Grant’s fingertips unconsciously rubbed the Divine Pattern, his brows tightly knit.
Vera and Lazuli had barely mastered a sliver of Power of Laws, yet they could easily crush Monarch-level powerhouses.
Should he encounter an enemy with near-perfect Law Control...
No chance of victory!
Thinking of this, Aster Grant took a deep breath.
Although he wants to ensure that each Beastbond receives optimal cultivation, if he cannot achieve his goals in the short term, he can only choose to break through to Monarch Level first, ensuring basic combat power.
After a brief rest, Aster Grant prepared to summon the Beastbonds to set off again.
However.
"Boom——!!"
A sudden explosion shook the ground, and the mountains rocked back and forth.
Aster Grant’s nerves instantly strained to the breaking point, his gaze scanning the surroundings.
"What’s going on?"
The Human Race hasn’t explored much of the Alternate Space.
This area is even farther from Human Race territories.
Thus, trendous caution was needed.
Vera and Lazuli instantly entered combat mode.
But then...
Lilith suddenly appeared, her face showing a trace of urgency.
"Aster Grant, have Scarlett take you into the Void, and quickly."
This was the first ti Aster Grant had seen Lilith so out of character.
Although puzzled, he didn’t hesitate and shouted:
"Scarlett."
Almost the instant the order was given, Scarlett had already pulled him into the Void.
anwhile, Lilith swiftly grabbed the other Beastbonds, retreating into the Beastbond Space like lightning.
"Lilith, what’s actually happening?" Aster Grant urgently asked via Spiritual Link.
Lilith’s voice was unusually tense: "You’ll know soon enough..."
Just as she finished speaking, a massive shadow blotted out the sky, rolling over the place they had just stood.
When Aster Grant saw the true form of that behemoth, his pupils suddenly constricted——
It was a gigantic centipede, hundreds of ters long!
Its whole body was wrapped in sticky Demonic Qi, with a shell as black as pitch that glead like cold tal.
As it moved, the ground split apart like tofu.
While Aster Grant was in shock, the monster suddenly stopped.
Its head, dozens of ters high, jerked upright, and hundreds of compound eyes simultaneously turned to a spot in the Void...
The exact place where they were hiding!
In that mont of being targeted, Aster Grant’s blood felt as if it had frozen.
A bone-chilling cold shot up from his feet to the crown of his skull, halting even his breath.
Scarlett’s Void Concealnt is difficult to detect even by soone at Half-step Totem, yet this monster...
"Don’t move!" Lilith sternly warned from the Beastbond Space, "Don’t show even a hint of hostility! Otherwise, we’ll all be killed!"
Thankfully, the terrifying centipede rely glanced casually and lost interest, continuing to glide off into the distance.
Only when the massive form completely vanished from view did Aster Grant feel his heart begin to beat again.
In that instant, he had truly felt threatened with death.
If that creature had attacked him, he would have surely perished.
Lilith’s figure reappeared, her always calm face now revealing an uncustomary gravity:
"Luckily, you’re too weak now to pique its interest."
Aster Grant slowly regained his senses, turning his rigid body to look at Lilith.
"Vicious Beast!"
Lilith explained gravely, "You don’t hear much about them in Human Race lands, do you? They are monsters infected by Demonic Qi but not controlled by the Demon Clan."
"Vicious Beasts have at least Monarch-level power, and those are known as the ordinary Vicious Beasts."
"Above the ordinary Vicious Beasts, there are four King-level Vicious Beasts."
At this point, Lilith’s gaze turned sharp:
"That was one of them—the Nine-Hells Centipede King, the one who bested back then."
Hearing this, Aster Grant’s pupils constricted.
King-level Vicious Beast!
It was the first ti he had heard this term.
But if it could injure a Totem-level Lilith, that ans the Nine-Hells Centipede King was at least Totem Level.
But then, Lilith suddenly furrowed her eyebrows:
"Forget it, let’s continue on our way. We need to reach the Azurefox Clan."
Yet no one noticed the direction in which that terrible Nine-Hells Centipede King was moving.
Which happened to be the sa as...
...the location of the Azurefox Clan!
