140: Saint-level beast: Ice and Fire Ape

Therefore, Steward Zhang accompanied Li Yao into the Qingqiu Secret Realm this time, to witness how terrifying a Heaven-Rank Secret Realm truly was.

He had truly never seen a place where even King-Level Beast Masters would fall.

Heaven-Rank Secret Realms are generally not announced to the public online.

So, people only knew that Heaven-Rank Secret Realms were so terrifying that even King-Level Beast Masters would perish, but they didn't know what exactly was inside a King-Rank Secret Realm.

After stepping into the Secret Realm together, the two appeared in the safe zone within the Secret Realm.

Within the safe zone, only a few people were still lingering, all of them King-Level Beast Masters.

"Let's go, Steward Zhang. We need to be careful in the Heaven-Rank Secret Realm. My strength isn't very high, so we can't afford to be reckless."

Steward Zhang: ...

If he remembered correctly, Li Yao was just an ordinary person a little over a month ago.

But in just one month, he had already become a Saint-Level Beast Master.

The sense of disparity was truly too great.

As expected of someone who inherited the family head's talent.

This talent was truly terrifying.

The two of them simultaneously summoned their King-Rank Beasts.

Yuan Hong, Ink Kirin, and Azure Winged Dragon King appeared beside Li Yao and Steward Zhang, respectively.

As for Steward Zhang's other Beasts, there was no need to summon them.

After all, their strength had not yet reached the level of a King-Rank Beast. Summoning them would not only be unhelpful, but if they encountered danger, they might even be directly killed.

They didn't have the talent to grow stronger by killing targets like Li Yao, so in a Heaven-Rank Secret Realm, Beasts weaker than King-Rank are generally not summoned.

Unless they are used for travel, otherwise, King-Rank Beasts are used to represent them.

Yuan Hong looked at this place, which was rich in Spiritual Qi, and also took out his One Qi Water Fire Staff.

After taking the One Qi Water Fire Staff from his ear, Yuan Hong hoisted it onto his shoulder.

[Young Lord, are we going to raise our strength to the Emperor-grade this time?]

With the talent to grow stronger by killing enemies, Yuan Hong also yearned for an increase in strength.

After all, if he could increase his strength as quickly as possible, he could better protect Li Yao.

The Ink Kirin looked at Li Yao with anticipation.

Now his master was taking him to improve his strength!

It only took him one day to reach King-Rank strength.

This time, he was probably going to raise his strength to Saint-Grade!

"Hmm, if possible, we can give it a try."

Yuan Hong was Mythic-grade quality, so trying it was certainly an option.

A Mythic-grade Physical Body is inherently stronger than Beasts of other qualities.

Therefore, it can withstand more energy and adapt to the increase in strength more quickly.

As for the Ink Kirin beside him, Li Yao felt it would be better to let him improve his quality after they returned.

Since he had the ability to see through Beast evolution paths, wouldn't it be a loss of Face not to make all his Beasts Mythic-grade quality?

However, Mythic-grade quality is also extremely difficult; just the path of collecting Materials has already stumped many people.

But Li Yao had the Li Corporation backing him. With the Li Corporation, what Materials couldn't he obtain?

Oh, with the exception of some particularly rare Materials, such as Materials for advancing beyond Mythic-grade.

These Materials, let alone Li Yao, even the current Li Zun was a bit troubled about where to obtain them.

With Yuan Hong leading the way, any King-level Exotic Beast that dared to foolishly jump out would be beaten half to death by Yuan Hong and then thrown to the Ink Kirin to finish off.

So the Ink Kirin's strength was increasing at an extremely fast rate.

As for Steward Zhang, he was also practically invincible.

As long as he didn't encounter a Saint-Rank Beast, King-level Exotic Beasts were merely food in front of the Azure Winged Dragon King.

The Azure Winged Dragon King also controlled his power and did not directly kill the Exotic Beasts he fought.

Instead, he left them for the Ink Kirin to kill.

The Azure Winged Dragon King killing Exotic Beasts could not rapidly increase his strength like Li Yao's Beasts.

But Li Yao's Beasts could!

Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended!

The Azure Winged Dragon King detected this terrifying aura and immediately rushed towards Li Yao's location.

The next second, a gigantic Exotic Beast, a full thousand meters tall, appeared at the Azure Winged Dragon King's previous position.

It was a terrifying Exotic Beast, like a baboon, exuding a chilling aura of ice and fire.

In terms of strength, it had even reached Saint-Grade!

This was a Saint-Grade Fifth Stage Exotic Beast, an Icefire Mad Ape!

The appearance of Saint-Rank Beasts in a Heaven-Rank Secret Realm was an extremely common occurrence.

However, Saint-Rank Beasts usually appeared in the inner regions; its appearance in the outer regions this time genuinely surprised Steward Zhang.

If a normal King-Level Beast Master encountered an attack from this Saint-Rank Beast, they would likely run straight to the safe zone.

After all, there were Saint-Grade powerhouses stationed in the safe zone who could, to some extent, deal with, suppress, or even kill a Saint-Rank Beast.

This was also a safeguard of the Heaven-Rank Secret Realm.

However, Steward Zhang did not rush towards the safe zone; instead, he hurried towards Li Yao's location.

This was a Saint-Rank Beast. Luring it to his Young Lord, letting the Young Lord take care of it, would mean another Exotic Beast that could provide a large amount of Spiritual Qi power.

With their current strength, it was truly difficult to venture deep into the inner regions.

After all, encountering Saint-Rank Beasts was commonplace in the inner regions, and with bad luck, they might even encounter Cosmic-level Exotic Beasts.

For Li Yao, who possessed Saint-Rank Beasts, entering the Secret Realm's outer region was manageable, but entering the inner region would likely mean acting like a timid grandson.

So Steward Zhang attracting this Saint-Rank Beast was definitely a huge surprise for Li Yao.

"Young Lord! Help!"

Steward Zhang's roar truly startled Li Yao.

After the Ink Kirin finished off the King-level Exotic Beast under Yuan Hong's foot, his own strength finally increased to King-Rank Fifth Stage.

It had to be said, being carried by someone truly felt good.

However, upon hearing Steward Zhang's voice, the Ink Kirin looked in Steward Zhang's direction.

He saw a thousand-meter-tall ape chasing Steward Zhang and was immediately frightened.

Li Yao also looked in Steward Zhang's direction and saw a gigantic ape, a full thousand meters in size, giving chase.

Its massive body caused the mountains to shake and the ground to tremble, making it hard not to notice.

"Where did Steward Zhang attract this Saint-Rank Beast from?"

Although he didn't know how he did it, this was a Saint-Rank Beast!

"Yuan Hong! Go! Slay this Saint-Rank Beast!"
