Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 417

I forced a smile, suppressing the churning sensation within my body. "It's nothing, I probably absorbed spiritual energy too quickly." But as soon as I finished speaking, that unfamiliar energy, like a wild horse, began to rampage through my meridians even more recklessly, and a sharp pain made me groan involuntarily.

"Something's wrong!" Su Yao grabbed me, her worry evident in her voice. "This energy... it's very strange, like some kind of seal has been broken."

The beast tamer, who had been basking in the joy of receiving the spirit stone, suddenly sensed something amiss. He took a few steps back warily and said in a deep voice, "There's something wrong with this spirit stone!"

Jinbo strategist stepped forward, carefully observing me, his brows furrowed: "This energy... seems somewhat similar to the 'power of chaos' from ancient legends. The power of chaos possesses the power to destroy the world, but it is also extremely difficult to control; the slightest carelessness will result in being devoured by it."

Upon hearing the words "Power of Chaos," everyone present gasped. The golden-haired youth stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief: "Power of Chaos? That's a legendary power! Could it be... could this spirit stone be a treasure left over from ancient times?"

I gritted my teeth, struggling to control the chaotic energy surging within me. This power was indeed incredibly strong, but it was like a double-edged sword; the slightest misstep could injure me. I felt as if my body was being torn apart; the intense pain almost made me lose consciousness.

No! I can't fall! I still need to protect Su Yao, and I still need to achieve my goal!

I took a deep breath, channeling all my spiritual energy to forcefully suppress some of the chaotic energy. A faint golden light emanated from my body, growing stronger and stronger until it enveloped me completely. Bathed in this golden light, I appeared like a god, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"He...he actually suppressed the power of chaos!" the Beast Tamer of Jinyi exclaimed, his eyes filled with awe.

The strategist, Jinbo, was also shocked: "Incredible! He was actually able to suppress the power of chaos with his own strength! This... this is simply a miracle!"

Even Su Yao, who had remained calm throughout, showed a surprised expression. She looked at me, her eyes filled with adoration. She swayed her body and slowly moved closer to me, gently stroking my chest with both hands, and said in a soft voice, "Yu, you're so alluring right now..."

I felt Su Yao's body temperature, her breath, her heartbeat. I slightly opened my eyes and saw her hazy gaze, feeling the gentle touch of her fingertips tracing across my chest. A warm current surged through my heart, dispelling some of the pain brought by the chaotic power. "Yao..." I whispered, my voice a little hoarse.

"Shh..." Su Yao placed a finger on my lips, stopping me from speaking. "Don't talk, let me feel you properly." She moved closer, almost pressing her entire body against mine. I could feel her soft body and the faint fragrance emanating from her. This should have been an intoxicating moment, but the chaotic power within me grew increasingly violent, as if it would devour me completely. I endured the excruciating pain, struggling to remain conscious.

Just then, I sensed a chilling aura coming from behind me. I whirled around and saw the Beastmaster of the Metal-Iridium Beast standing not far away, his eyes gleaming with jealousy. A black energy was gathering in his hand, slowly approaching me. Oh no! He's going to attack me!

I was startled and tried to dodge, but found my body firmly bound by the power of chaos, unable to move at all. Just as the black energy was about to strike me, Su Yao suddenly stepped in front of me. "Stop!" she shouted angrily, drawing her longsword and unleashing a sharp sword aura that shot straight towards the Beastmaster.

The Beast Tamer, clearly unprepared for Su Yao's sudden attack, was forced back several steps by the sword energy. His face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Su Yao: "You dare to stop me?"

"You dare touch my people?" Su Yao met his gaze without fear, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!" The Beast Tamer sneered, gathering energy once more in preparation for an attack.

Just then, strategist Jinbo suddenly stepped forward, standing between the two. "Lord Jinyi, please calm down!" he said in a deep voice. "Now is not the time for infighting. We should work together to deal with the crisis at hand."

"Crisis? Hmph! I think he's the biggest crisis!" The Beast Tamer pointed at me and said, "He possesses the power of chaos. If he loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

“I understand your concerns,” the strategist explained patiently, “but now that he has initially suppressed the power of chaos, we should trust him and give him some time.”

"Believe him? Are you crazy?" The Beastmaster was furious. "Is the power of chaos so easily controlled? What if he..."

Before he could finish speaking, I felt the chaotic power within me surge again, even more violently than before. I groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Yu!" Su Yao exclaimed in alarm, quickly supporting me.

I felt my consciousness fading, and the scene before me began to distort. No… I can't fall… Just as I was about to lose consciousness, a possibility suddenly occurred to me… Beast Taming… “Yao… help me… summon… a beast…” I managed to utter a few words, then everything went black, and I lost consciousness. My hand fell limply… to… the jade pendant… engraved with strange runes… at Su Yao's waist…

My consciousness drifted in the darkness, as if falling into an abyss. The power of chaos raged within me, scorching my meridians and tearing my soul apart. I heard Su Yao's anxious cries and felt her warm body, yet I was powerless to respond. Just as I was about to be swallowed by this power, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning: Beast Taming!

With my last ounce of strength, I murmured, "Yao... Beast Taming..."

In a hazy state, I felt a familiar power surge into my body. It was Su Yao; she understood what I meant and was helping me summon my beast. I have a special bond with my beast, Xiao Jin; we share power and trust each other. If there's anything in this world that can help me through this difficult time, it's this.

Gradually, my consciousness returned, and the scene before me became clearer. I saw Su Yao's anxious face, and behind her, Little Jin, radiating golden light. It was a small, golden beast, resembling a Qilin, with a pair of small antlers on its head, and its bright eyes filled with worry.

“Xiao Jin…” I called its name weakly.

Upon hearing my voice, Xiao Jin immediately ran to my side and rubbed its little head against my cheek. A warm power emanated from it and flowed into my body, soothing my body tormented by the power of chaos.

I took a deep breath, focused my mind, and guided Xiao Jin's power to merge with the surging chaotic power within me. This was an extremely dangerous process; the slightest mistake would result in being torn apart by the two forces.

"Yu, be careful!" Su Yao gripped my hand nervously, and I could feel the sweat on her palms.

I nodded, reassuring her. I closed my eyes, sensing the clash between the two forces, trying to find their balance. The chaotic power was violent and disorderly, while Xiao Jin's power was gentle and stable. I carefully guided Xiao Jin's power, as if taming a raging beast.

Gradually, I felt the two forces begin to merge. The chaotic power was no longer so violent, and Xiao Jin's power became even stronger. A brand new power surged within me, more powerful and more mysterious than any power I had ever experienced before.

I opened my eyes and saw that everything around me was enveloped in a golden light. I felt full of power, as if I could control everything.

"I succeeded..." I murmured to myself, my heart filled with joy.

However, this joy didn't last long. Just when I thought everything was over, a sudden change occurred. The previously stable energy suddenly surged again, even more violently than before. I felt as if my body was being torn apart, and the surrounding space began to distort, revealing black cracks.

"What's going on..." I looked at Su Yao in horror, only to find that her face was also filled with shock and fear.

Little Gold let out a terrified scream, and the golden light emanating from its body began to flicker erratically.

The Beast Tamer of Metal and Iridium exclaimed, "Oh no! The space is about to collapse!"

Jinbo's strategist shouted, "Stop him!"

I...I can't control myself anymore...
