Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 456 Extreme Serendipity

The sun had long set by the time Rocky arrived at the forests surrounding the Myriad Beasts Group. Even after the entire day of trek, he still hadn't reached his destination. He was aiming to reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage at the Myriad Beasts Ground. As he looked at the dim sky, he realized he still had a long way to go.

Rocky recalled the last time he was at the Myriad Beasts Ground. A few minutes in it, he found himself nearly meeting his death. He was well aware that the place was lurking with dangers.

But situation had changed now and the place was not as dangerous as it was before to him. He had strengthened himself a lot, especially his inner evil spiritual power. And he could reach the third grade of the Heavenly Stage if he got the chance. Besides those, there was one person who played a very important part in it, Sabina. If it were not Sabina, Rocky would never think about going into this place for further cultivation.

"Isis must hate me now,” Rocky thought. "But," he continued out loud, "self-preservation is the number one rule of nature. There is nothing more important than protecting myself." As he walked into the forest with his four beasts, Rocky continued to talk to himself.

With no sun to cast shadows to guide him, Rocky was lost in time. He wasn't sure when he would reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. But it was alright, Rocky thought. This was what he prepared himself for, after all. He was determined that nothing would stop him from reaching his destination.

In his recent battle against the spirit manipulators of the Heavenly Stage from the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky was introduced to his flaws. And it dawned on him that his biggest one was on the Spirit Possession. Spirit Possession was a great power to have. Through it, he could defeat powerful enemies. However, he needed to do it within a certain time frame or, otherwise, he would risk getting killed by the enemy. So he committed himself to only summoning the skill in times of absolute need.

Unfortunately, when Rocky activated his Spirit Possession during his encounter with the powerful master Liam, he found that it was of not much use.

Rocky was able to tap into his animalization power. Animalization from the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill was one of the four secret skills in the Wild Spirit Land. But during the time of his encounter, he only reached the first level and only activated basic animalization. Therefore, he barely inflicted any harm on his enemies.

More than that, he only had his spiritual power linked with Rubygon and was only able to animalize with it. And, while Rubygon's claws were strong and solid, Rocky was already in possession of the Frozen Wind Dagger. At that point, the animalization of Rubygon proved to be of little help to him in battle. It wasn't able to do anything that Rocky couldn't already achieve with his Frozen Wind Dagger.

The only reason he linked his spiritual power with Rubygon was to enhance its strength through spiritual crystal. It was never for his own benefit.

Rocky knew that if he wanted to harness the full potential of animalization, he had to link with strong beasts that possessed special powers, such as Uriah and Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

The scales of Uriah were rigid and had great resistance against heat. And the animalization could put that scales on his own body which were similar to the one made by Spirit Possession. And in doing so, Rocky could acquire a strong armor.

And as for Rainbow Glow Unicorn, it can hide itself. And the special power could be much useful as well in critical moments.

But it was not an easy work to tame the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. Therefore, it was better for Rocky to establish a solid spiritual power link with Uriah as fast as possible. Then he could use the powers of Uriah and Rubygon through animalization selectively.

It was quite easier to build the link with claimed spirit-manipulated beasts than unclaimed spirit- manipulated beasts. Rocky had been trying to connect with Uriah all the way to the forest and had made a huge progress.

And there was another purpose of Rocky in doing that. He expected that Uriah could get upgraded through the spiritual power connection just like Rubygon did before and then Uriah could possibly move to the four-star level.

After entering the peripheral forest, Rocky didn't wander around. Instead, he picked a shortcut into the Myriad Beasts Ground. Along the way, he also hunted female spirit-manipulated beasts for his Dark Heaven Insect Queen.

The abdomen of the Dark Heaven Insect Queen became bigger day by day but Rocky was not sure when it would lay the eggs finally. The pregnancy of human was about ten months though, the spirit-manipulated beast was not like the human. And human didn't lay eggs, either. Usually, the insects could lay the eggs within months, even as short as one or two months.

So Rocky tried his best to improve the pregnant environment in the insect's ovaries, too.

It hadn't been one hour before they encountered with a group of wild spirit-manipulated beasts of two-star level. And the naughty Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf bared to those beasts before Uriah and Rubygon noticed.

The Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf grew to the size of a wolfhound while it was still a little bit small compared to a wild two-star spirit-manipulated beast. Thanks to the daily training of other three beasts, its brutish nature didn't fade off and it didn't show any fears. Of course, the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf knew the two powerful beasts would offer help.

Despite those powerful beasts, the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf itself owned the blood of the spiritual beast as well as high-level war beasts. So its aptitude was excellent. Under appropriate instructions, its rate of growth could be insane.

And Rocky himself had drawn a series of scientific cultivating method from Rubygon. It wouldn't be long before he tamed the Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf.

But Rocky decided to subdue the Rainbow Glow Unicorn first because the Rainbow Glow Unicorn was going into its adulthood anytime. It would be much harder to subdue an adult Rainbow Glow Unicorn. There was one special skill to subdue spiritual beasts in the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill while the skill was flinty. The relationship between Rocky and Rainbow Glow Unicorn was more like friends. So he was reluctant to use that on Rainbow Glow Unicorn. And it may be counterproductive if he used the skill.

Deep in his minds, Rocky knew what he needed most now was a chance, a chance where the Rainbow Glow Unicorn would voluntarily submit to him. But the chance was rare. Unlike ordinary war beasts, this spiritual beast species had its own thoughts and was able to distinguish good from bad.

So far, the Rainbow Glow Unicorn trusted Rocky. It followed him around because it felt like Rocky was harmless and it longed for his magical saliva. Soon, their relationship grew into co-dependence. Rocky made sure that the Rainbow Glow Unicorn continued to trust him. But, despite Rocky's efforts, Rocky could not make the Rainbow Glow Unicorn submit to him. He could not make it believe that he could be its master.

And that trait in itself was what made it unique from other beasts. They had their own thoughts and beliefs, similar to humans, and they did not waiver easily.

Taming the Rainbow Glow Unicorn remained challenging for Rocky. But Rocky was persistent on achieving so. After all, if he succeeded, he knew that he would be the first spirit manipulator to own two spiritual beasts

The Rainbow Glow Unicorn was an amazing treasure hunter. It was a master compared to all the other spiritual beasts. Though all spiritual beasts were gifted with treasure hunting abilities, none of them compared to the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

Rainbow Glow Unicorns had extra-sensory perception that detected not just what was in the physical world, but also those not obvious to the naked eye. It had the ability to see inside beasts. Last time, it even sensed the Water Essence Pill inside the body of a Three-tailed Aquatic Lizard. Rainbow Glow Unicorns were born treasure hunters.
