Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1233 - 519: The Great Sect’s Heritage [Subscribe Please]_4

First, it had been raised and cared for by its original master since infancy, having long regarded the original master as its closest kin. After the original master’s passing, it would never choose to recognize another owner.

Second, as a high-level Demon Beast, it already possessed significant intelligence. Even if constrained by the *Lifebound Beast Plaque* and forced to become a legacy Spirit Beast of a sect or family, it wouldn’t willingly accept another master.

After all, using the *Lifebound Beast Plaque* inherently comes with numerous inconveniences, and the restrictions it imposes on freedom aren’t insurmountable.

However, once a contract is signed and ownership recognized, it truly becomes a slave, a servant, with no room left for negotiation.

Yet, at this point, no matter Zhou Chun’s regrets, they are meaningless.

Even if he had known this beforehand, it would have made no difference.

After all, how could he possibly transfer ownership of his Thunder Flood Dragon to Zhou Daoyi?

For the Zhou Family’s Beast Taming Cultivators, who treated Spirit Pets as family, such a thing was entirely impossible!

"Let’s begin!"

Baiyue True Person didn’t pay too much attention to Zhou Chun’s emotional shift. Once he confirmed that the Goldflame Lion was already Taoist Hongyang’s Spirit Pet, he promptly announced the start of the battle.

As his words fell, Zhou Daoyi immediately raised his hand and slapped the storage pouch at his waist. A green-purple spear transformed into an arc of lightning, piercing toward Taoist Hongyang.

Simultaneously, a blue gourd manifested in his hand. As he activated his mana, a surge of blackish-green gale transformed into countless wind blades, shooting toward Taoist Hongyang.

But Taoist Hongyang acted almost at the same time.

With a flick of his wrist, a Dharma Treasure resembling a black mountain suddenly ascended into the air. In an instant, it expanded to a towering height of over ten zhang, crushing forth toward Zhou Daoyi.

The green-purple spear struck the surface of the black mountain Dharma Treasure, barely piercing through the black radiance enveloping its exterior before being rebounded away!

As the Zhou Family had anticipated, Taoist Hongyang indeed possessed a pseudo-Dharma Treasure!

The black mountain Dharma Treasure, after deflecting the green-purple spear, collided headlong into the incoming onslaught of wind blades, shattering the majority of them before continuing its relentless descent toward Zhou Daoyi.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi was forced to activate a *Mountain-Deciding Seal* talisman treasure in his hand, transforming it into a massive earth-yellow seal to withstand the black mountain’s offensive.

Yet, just as he held off the assault from this pseudo-Dharma Treasure, Taoist Hongyang summoned another talisman treasure: a fiery red gourd. Flames burst from its mouth, rapidly transforming into clusters of Flaming Divine Thunder, bombarding Zhou Daoyi.

Fortunately, Zhou Daoyi was equipped with an exquisite piece of high-grade Third Order Defensive Dharma Artifact—the *Qingyin Treasure Umbrella*. As he opened the umbrella, a layer of azure radiance enveloped him, shielding him from the impact of the Flaming Divine Thunder.

Overall, with both cultivators at the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion realm receiving the full support of their respective factions, it was challenging for either to gain the upper hand in a short timeframe.

It seemed inevitable that they would exhaust their consumable trump cards or that one side would deplete their mana first before victory could be determined.

Meanwhile, as the two Late Stage Purple Mansion cultivators clashed fiercely, a duel between two mid-tier Third Order Demon Beasts simultaneously unfolded.

The Green Flood Dragon, being an adept in wind attributes, wielded mastery over the *Wind Escape Technique*, granting it a strategic advantage during the battle.

While persistently unleashing various Third Order wind-attribute spells to attack the Goldflame Lion, it would occasionally use its *Wind Escape Technique* to dart behind the lion for surprise close-range attacks.

The Goldflame Lion struggled to hit it with many of its attacks.

However, as an Exotic Demon Beast, the Goldflame Lion possessed unique abilities.

The golden flames it exhaled were of an extremely high temperature, second only to the alchemy fire of a Golden Core Stage cultivator. Even the Green Flood Dragon’s sturdy dragon scales couldn’t withstand the burning effects upon contact.

Moreover, the Goldflame Lion could utilize these golden flames for both defensive measures and direct physical offense. If the Green Flood Dragon’s claws or tail struck its body, they would inevitably be tainted by the flames.

Simultaneously, the lion’s own claws and fangs, when attacking a target, carried the additional effect of golden flame incineration.

Additionally, the Goldflame Lion commanded a sonic Divine Skill—its *Lion’s Roar Howl*—capable of shaking the Divine Soul and disrupting the Green Flood Dragon’s *Wind Escape Technique*.

Thus, while the Green Flood Dragon held the initiative in battle, capturing the lion proved far from straightforward. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

At that moment, everyone present understood clearly: amidst a match against Taoist Hongyang, who possessed pseudo-Dharma Treasures and numerous talismans and magical artifacts, Zhou Daoyi’s sole chance of victory lay in his Spirit Pet—the Green Flood Dragon.

Only by joining forces with the Green Flood Dragon could Zhou Daoyi hope to triumph over Taoist Hongyang!
