Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 28

The rules of sequences are absolute, and sequence no. 16 was already dangerously close to the God-Tier Sequence. Its displayed power far exceeded that of an ordinary high-tier sequence.

The deep foundation of the Pillar Families was on full display.

As an outstanding direct heir, Li Mu was receiving the full support of the Li family.

Li Mu showed no signs of underestimating Su Yu. As soon as the battle began, he activated “Spatial Intersect”!

Countless threads, thin as a cicada’s wings, spread across the entire arena. These threads were sharp and exceptionally durable, with their only downside being their vulnerability to brute-force strength-type pet beasts that could break through with sheer power.

Alia snapped her fingers, and blood transformed into a crimson rain that fell onto the threads. Instantly, the invisible threads turned into a sea of red.

Li Mu’s brows furrowed.

Spatial Intersect alone wouldn’t be enough to take down Su Yu, but as long as it could limit his movement…

Before the thought could settle, Alia clenched her right hand.

The blood coating the threads began to twist into spirals.

“Slice, slice!” The threads of Spatial Intersect, despite their toughness, were completely unable to withstand the cutting power of Alia’s manipulated blood!

Li Mu’s pupils contracted. “What?”

Is this really something a vampire is capable of?

The threads of Spatial Intersect were incredibly durable and not easily broken by sharp tools, yet they were utterly powerless against the force of Alia’s blood manipulation!

From above, Su Yu looked down and said, “You talked such a big game, but is this all you’ve got?”

Li Mu’s lips twitched, but he didn’t respond.

Su Yu was an expert at psychological warfare, and ignoring him was the best tactic.

Although Spatial Intersect didn’t work as an offensive measure, it still served as a conduit for channeling magical energy.

Next to Li Mu, the Crimson Flame Demon’s chest glowed dark red as it opened its flaming maw.

“Blazing Inferno!”

Dark red magma roared out, guided by the threads of Spatial Intersect into serpentine fire streams that twisted and converged on Su Yu from all directions!

Li Mu shouted, “This isn’t over yet!”

“Dark Tide!”

The Shadow Dance Wraithcrow raised its spectral staff, and the ground transformed into a black-purple river of shadows. Bubbling with dark-purple energy, the river erupted into over ten black water columns. These columns morphed into shadowy knights, which, guided by the threads, combined their assault with the Blazing Inferno, forming an encirclement that aimed to swallow Su Yu in darkness!

Su Yu and Alia neither dodged nor retreated.

It was evident Li Mu possessed Ghost-Grade weaponry capable of weakening Death Apostle’s Hymn and Blood Queen. However, that only applied to the abilities in their standard state.

“You don’t need to hold back. Go all out, Alia!”

Alia clasped her hands together, combining her powers. A low, resonant hymn echoed through the arena:

“Awaken!”

“Let the blood frenzy slumbering in death surge forth!”

“Hear the sacred hymn of the progenitor’s call!”

Behind Alia, blood formed into a complete symphony orchestra, with long crimson harps and flutes crafted by the Blood Queen. Using Immortality, she imbued the hymn with eternal power.

In the face of the eternal Immortality, the true hymn began to play!

Holy yet ominous notes froze all the attacks in their tracks just as they were about to strike Su Yu.

The blood, carried by the hymn’s soundwaves, poured into the Blazing Inferno and the shadowy knights! Those lifeless entities now became Alia’s enslaved Death Apostles!

The soundwaves seemed to solidify, and in Li Mu’s incredulous gaze, the shadowy knights, now stepping on magma, turned and charged straight at him!

Even the Crimson Flame Demon and the Shadow Dance Wraithcrow momentarily fell into confusion under the hymn’s influence.

The Moonbone Necklace, crafted from the skull of a Moonlight Apostle and given to Li Mu to counter such abilities, couldn’t fully negate the effects of Immortality’s hymn!

In the spectator stands,

Xia Tingen took a deep breath. “Immortality… it’s…”

“Hah, Principal Ning, you’ve really kept this well hidden.”

“Or should I say, is Su Yu truly just lucky?”

Ning Hanwen took a sip of tea, a touch of sentiment in his tone. “Lucky? Is it really Su Yu who’s lucky?”

Xia Tingen asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Haha, some things are not meant to be revealed.”

Xia Tingen rolled his eyes. Among the people he found most frustrating, the principals of Magic City University and Imperial Capital University topped the list—scheming and tight-lipped to the extreme.

When Qin Ze had reported Su Yu’s bold request to advance forty drops of Life Essence, Xia Tingen had initially thought the young man was ignorant of the world’s dangers and the challenges of the lairs. But now, it didn’t seem like such an outlandish demand.

This boy… might actually be worth betting on!

—

The rest of the spectators were utterly dumbfounded.

The intensity of this battle had far exceeded anything seen in the other matches.

The vast arena was hardly sufficient to contain the ferocity of their attacks.

If not for the protective barrier, their strikes might have already destroyed the entire arena.

Now, it was Li Mu who was in trouble.

Alia’s abilities had surpassed even the highest expectations of the spectators.

So this is the true strength of last year’s genius campus belle!

Li Mu took a deep breath and made a decision. Manipulating the threads of Spatial Intersect, he directed them to pierce the Shadow Dance Wraithcrow’s body, forcing it to activate its ability.

“Dance of Shadows!”

Li Mu had anticipated the possibility of Su Yu controlling his pet beasts.

It was why he had chosen to contract the Shadow Dance Wraithcrow—not just for its raw power, but for its innate racial ability.

It could enter a berserk state, losing all sanity!

Even the Beastmaster wouldn’t be able to control it. And neither could Su Yu!

Before it lost its mind, the Wraithcrow received its final command:

“Destroy them, Wraithcrow!”

Approaching the God-Tier Sequence in strength, the Shadow Wraithcrow broke free from the influence of Immortality’s hymn at the cost of its sanity, transforming into a mindless killing machine!

The Wraithcrow unleashed the tide of dark water, quenching the flames surging toward Li Mu and scattering the shadowy knights.

In berserk mode, the Wraithcrow no longer possessed overwhelming magical energy, but its physical destructiveness had grown exponentially.

Alia’s gem-like eyes gleamed. “Oh? It can resist Immortality’s influence?”

“Impressive. Too bad it’s still lacking. Otherwise, I’d have the little one capture it as a pet.”

Suddenly, the ground’s shadowy tide was pierced by a surge of blood. The black-purple river transformed into a crimson river of blood in the blink of an eye!

After replenishing herself the entire night, Alia was at peak condition.

The surging blood coalesced into countless swords, shields, and fully armored cavalry of blood. With the flap of her wings, the blood knights charged forward alongside their queen!

“Boom!”

The Wraithcrow was pierced by countless blood swords, but its berserk-empowered vitality allowed it to temporarily withstand Alia’s relentless assault.

—

At that moment,

Li Mu spotted a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Though the Crimson Flame Demon was paralyzed by the hymn, Li Mu could still control it through Spatial Intersect!

Using the threads, Li Mu pierced the Crimson Flame Demon, forcing it to leap into action. Exploiting the brief moment when Alia couldn’t watch over Su Yu, the Flame Demon lunged straight at him!

Simultaneously, the threads of Spatial Intersect spread out again, sealing all of Su Yu’s escape routes.

Su Yu flapped his wings, avoiding the Flame Demon’s strike thanks to the interference of the Screeching Dragon Wings’ wind vortex. However, the threads of Spatial Intersect slashed across his arm, leaving a deep gash.

Blood dripped down.

Finally, Li Mu had found his opening!
