NOVPUBOf course, this was just the first layer of protection designed by Jiang Weng.
It was because of the careful thought Jiang Weng put into this that Fang Mu dared to trade the Spirit Capturing Box to other forces, allowing them to research the box to their content.
"No problem, since it’s a trade, providing you with a sample is only right, and we can communicate diligently if any issues arise later!"
After seeing Zhuang Herui off, Fang Mu entered the room with the Spirit Capturing Boxes that contained the extraterrestrial embryos.
Fang Mu also summoned Xi Xi and Fool’s Shadow.
A single extraterrestrial embryo in the environment could be negligible, but the effects on people became significant once the number of extraterrestrial embryos increased.
Fang Mu needed Xi Xi to absorb the harmful substances in the air so that he could watch Fool’s Shadow absorb the extraterrestrial embryos.
He used the Eye of Omniscience to examine the data on Fool’s Shadow.
At that time, Fool’s Shadow was still a Bronze (10/10) of Epic Quality.
Fang Mu, now a Biprong Star Tamer, could also elevate the level of his Destiny Guardian Beast to Diamond Rank Level One, enjoying the rights of such a level.
But Fang Mu was still firmly restricting the increase in his Beast Master’s strength, in order to maximize his Destiny Guardian Beast’s potential, to ascend it from Copper Level to Legendary Quality.
However, seizing this great opportunity, Fang Mu decided to attempt to enable the transformation of his Fool’s Shadow from Copper Level toward a godlike quality.
To gamble on a potential that the entire Beastmaster world didn’t dare to dream of!
One by one, Fang Mu released the extraterrestrial embryos from the Spirit Capturing Boxes, and these embryos were much more vital than the ones Fool’s Shadow had absorbed before.
Fool’s Shadow showed more interest in these fresh extraterrestrial embryos than it did in the dormant ones.
Under Fang Mu’s command, Fool’s Shadow made contact with these extraterrestrial embryos.
The formerly plump and vital extraterrestrial embryos evaporated like ice under the scorching sun, turning them entirely into a misty energy that was completely absorbed by Fool’s Shadow.
It took less than four seconds for Fool’s Shadow to absorb a single extraterrestrial embryo and, at this rate, it could handle approximately eight hundred embryos per hour, nearly twenty thousand a day!
It wouldn’t take many days for the first batch of extraterrestrial embryos to be processed.
This allowed Fang Mu to be completely at ease; he didn’t have to worry about Fool’s Shadow being unable to absorb all the extraterrestrial embryos.
This was still with Fool’s Shadow being at Epic Quality; once it ascended to Legendary Quality, the speed at which it absorbed extraterrestrial embryos would undoubtedly greatly increase from its current rate.
Actually, Fang Mu could contact Zhuang Herui now and have him deliver a second batch of extraterrestrial embryos.
But Fang Mu didn’t do so. Firstly, because he didn’t want Han Ming, Eternal Mother Yongle, and other Grandmaster Creators to think that he found handling extraterrestrial embryos too easy.
Secondly, although Fang Mu had ensured collaboration between the Contract Garden and the Han Yang Empire, he couldn’t guarantee that the Han Yang Empire would be able to mobilize the entire Sea Clan to act in alliance with the Contract Garden.
If Fang Mu used processing extraterrestrial embryos as a bargaining chip, then getting the Contract Garden and the Sea Clan to start a joint operation would become a very simple matter.
The number of extraterrestrial embryos collected by the Sea Clan would undoubtedly be unmatched by the Ten-thousand Nations Federation.
Fang Mu needed the extraterrestrial embryos collected by the Sea Clan to complete Fool’s Shadow’s transformation into a godlike quality.
After dealing with the extraterrestrial embryos obtained from the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, Fang Mu planned to consider how to obtain a large number of extraterrestrial embryos from the Han Yang Empire.
Fool’s Shadow’s absorption of the extraterrestrial embryos was relentless.
Since Fool’s Shadow absorbed extraterrestrial embryos so rapidly, rather than releasing them one by one for absorption, Fang Mu figured it would be better to place the embryos in the Spirit Capturing Box, letting Fool’s Shadow feast upon them inside.
This also saved monopolizing Xi Xi’s time, allowing Xi Xi to wholly focus on resource production.
When Fool’s Shadow absorbed the Shadow Eye Stones, Fang Mu’s eyes experienced a significant discomfort.
As the Fool’s Shadow’s quality continued to improve, its absorption of other entities had less and less impact on Fang Mu.
With the continuous absorption from the Extraterrestrial Embryos, the body of the Fool’s Shadow had slowly solidified, and one could even vaguely make out facial features similar to those of Fang Mu.
The gray mist released by the Fool’s Shadow not only enveloped its own body completely but also shrouded the surrounding space, making the Fool’s Shadow appear even more mysterious.
Under the cover of the gray mist, as the Fool’s Shadow absorbed more from the Extraterrestrial Embryos, its aura suddenly rose sharply.
Fang Mu knew that the Fool’s Shadow’s quality had been enhanced, having been upgraded from Epic to Legendary Quality.
Fang Mu used the Eye of Omniscience once again to examine the Fool’s Shadow.
[Beast Name]: Fool’s Shadow
[Beast Species]: ???
[Beast Level]: Bronze (10/10)
[Beast Element]: ???
[Beast Potential]: ???
[Beast Quality]: Legendary
Skill:
[Breath Convergence]: In a passive state, it can autonomously suppress its own spiritual power fluctuations. Once actively initiated, it completely conceals its aura, rendering itself undetectable.
Exclusive Traits:
[Twilight of the Gods]: Anchors a target as a god, weakens the anchored god-target, enhances one’s attack lethality against gods, and reveals the target’s vulnerabilities, all while predicting the target’s next move based on changes in their body, nerves, blood flow, and breath. Once deployed, the anchored god-target must be killed, or the effects of Twilight of the Gods cannot be lifted, nor can it be deployed against another target.
[Order Realm Peeking]: Tears open a rift to a higher-dimensional world, tempting and seeking out the offspring of higher-dimensional beings, bringing these higher-dimensional younglings into the current world.
①: If one’s consciousness suffers catastrophic damage in a higher-dimensional world, the travel will be interrupted, bringing the consciousness back to the original body, unable to bring back life from the higher dimension.
②: In the event of injury to the consciousness, one forcibly brings back a young creature from the higher dimension, personally enduring trauma to the soul and consciousness.
[Dimension Monarch]: In the process of exploring a dimensional world, as one progresses in subduing and conquering that world, one gradually increases their integration with it. Upon reaching over sixty percent integration with a dimensional world, one can wield the rules of that dimension. At over eighty percent, one can become the dominator of that dimensional world. Upon reaching a hundred percent, the Fool’s Shadow will absorb and store the dimensional world within itself, thus becoming a source of power.
Innate Divine Ability:
[Eye of Omniscience]: When the target’s Life Level does not exceed one’s own, and their rank is not more than five levels above, one can digitize and explore the target’s situation.
Seeing the Fool’s Shadow’s ascent to Legendary Quality and the acquisition of the exclusive trait [Dimension Monarch], Fang Mu was utterly stunned for a long while.
At this moment, Fang Mu felt that his Destiny Guardian Beast was vastly different from those of others.
This difference was not just about capability but rather about the layer and dimension of the Destiny Guardian Beast.
Hu Tao, Jiang Tuo, and Fang Mu’s eldest sister, second brother, and third sister all had Destiny Guardian Beasts, yet even one as strong as Bingxiao could not compare with the Blood of Abundance and the Fool’s Shadow.
It was a discrepancy on the level of life itself. The exclusive trait [Order Realm Peeking], gained by the Fool’s Shadow upon advancing to Legendary Quality, gave Fang Mu a chance to explore higher-dimensional worlds.
The exclusive trait [Dimension Monarch] afforded Fang Mu the opportunity to become a dominator of a dimensional world.
As long as he increased his integration with a dimensional world, Fang Mu could control the rules of that world and become its dominator.
He could even make that dimensional world part of the Fool’s Shadow.
The ability granted by [Dimension Monarch], the exclusive trait the Fool’s Shadow obtained upon reaching Legendary Quality, was truly astonishing! 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
