Ruler Of Beast Multiverse

Chapter 126: Black Water

Perhaps sensing Wesley’s expectations, or perhaps wanting to eat the roasted meat sooner, Lillian’s speed in absorbing spirit energy became faster and faster.

The red light grew more intense, and Lillian, situated within the red light, slowly floated into the air, her entire body stretching out.

"Is she making the final push?"

Wesley’s eyes remained fixed on Lillian’s transformation without blinking.

He saw that the red feathers on Lillian’s body were becoming a more vivid red bit by bit, and her tail feathers seemed to have grown a little longer as well.

The strand of golden feathers on her head became even more profound, making Lillian appear mysterious and noble!

"There’s just no comparison!" Wesley’s mouth opened slightly. After he broke through to become a two-Tier, there were no changes to his body; the only change was that the spirit energy contained within his body was twice what it had been before.

After watching Lillian’s breakthrough situation for a while and seeing that she remained in this unchanged state, he knew that Lillian wouldn’t be able to break through anytime soon, so Wesley stopped focusing on her breakthrough.

Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and allowed his consciousness to enter the Colorless Beast Space to take a look.

After just breaking through to two Tiers yesterday, he hadn’t had time to check what changes had occurred in the Colorless Beast Space.

Now was the perfect time to wait for Little Spirit Phoenix’s breakthrough and see if there were any changes with Old Friend in the Colorless Beast Space!

"The space has grown more than twice as large compared to before."

Wesley first confirmed this point; it was a normal change, yet at the same time, it was abnormal!

After a Beast Master increases their strength, the awakened Beast Space naturally grows larger along with it; this is normal!

What was abnormal was that his Colorless Beast Space had actually grown by more than double; that was just too much!

Wesley had never heard from anyone, nor had he heard in any rumors, of any Beast Master whose Beast Space would grow by double after breaking through to Two Tiers.

Or, according to common knowledge about Beast Spaces, one only knew that the Beast Space would slowly grow larger as one’s own strength increased.

Expanding by more than double all at once could only mean that Wesley’s Beast Talent was very high. As for how high, that was unknown and would require Wesley to continue exploring.

"No wonder it consumed so much spirit energy; now it makes perfect sense!" Because his Colorless Beast Space was dark and murky, Wesley carefully examined every single part of the Colorless Beast Space next.

"Sigh, Old Friend, you really are colorless."

Thinking about other people’s Beast Spaces, they were all colorful, red, yellow, green, blue, and so on.

Wesley still felt a hint of disdain for his own Beast Space in his heart, but then he thought about the abilities and mysteries of the Colorless Beast Space.

That hint of disdain vanished instantly. Colorless is Colorless; what’s the use of just looking good? Talent is what’s most important.

Just as Wesley’s consciousness was about to finish checking the entire Colorless Beast Space, he saw a small puddle appear within it.

The small puddle wasn’t very big at all, only the size of a washbasin.

What shocked Wesley even more was that the water in the small puddle was black, just like ink — pitch black.

"Black water? Why is this water black?"

"What is this thing?"

"And what is it used for?"

Wesley looked at the small puddle, and after his shock, many questions arose again.

"Old Friend, are you there? Come out and explain!"

Racking his brains, Wesley couldn’t figure it out, so he could only call for Old Friend.

This black water was something Old Friend had conjured up, so it must know what it was.

[You can take a sip, and you’ll know!]

Old Friend’s voice echoed in his mind. The voice was the same as before, it was impossible to tell if it was male or female; it was very neutral.

"Drink a sip of black water? Old Friend, are you joking?"

"This black water looks poisonous at first glance. Are you trying to murder your master, me?"

Wesley looked at the black water in the small puddle and really couldn’t bring himself to drink it.

Seeing that Wesley didn’t fall for it, Old Friend then continued:

[Holy spirit water: After a beast consumes it, it can enhance the power of the Innate Skills the beast has awakened!]

"Holy crap, it can enhance the power of Innate Skills? It truly lives up to the name holy spirit water!"

Wesley was shocked and subconsciously swallowed his saliva; he really wanted to have a sip himself now.

He couldn’t bring himself to drink it a moment ago, but now, the more he looked at this black water, the more pleasing it seemed!

The slap in the face always comes so quickly, and he even slapped his own face.

Wesley, with his eyes closed, wore a bright smile on his face.

"Old Friend, can I still have a sip now? If I drink this holy spirit water, will it also have great benefits for me?"

Since the holy spirit water could provide such great benefits after a beast consumed it, wouldn’t it also have tremendous benefits if a Beast Master drank it?

This was what Wesley thought of instantly, but as Old Friend spoke, Wesley’s face darkened, and he became listless, like a frost-bitten eggplant.

[Beast Masters must not consume it. If consumed, it will cause the spiritual energy within the Beast Master to go into a frenzy, plunging them into a state of cultivation deviation; in severe cases, it will lead to death!]

"No way, it’s that serious!"

"Damn Old Friend, you told me to have a sip just now; you clearly have had ulterior motives towards me all along."

"You heartless thing, I raise you every day and share the spiritual energy I absorb with you, and this is how you repay me."

Listening to Wesley’s complaints, Old Friend remained silent for a long time.

[...It would be strange if you actually drank it!]

"Old Friend, say something, are you mute again!"

Still not hearing a response from Old Friend, Wesley stopped complaining and then said agai

"Well, this time your master will forgive you, but don’t let it happen again!"

[You really are such a great person!]

"Hmm?" Hearing Old Friend’s words, Wesley always felt that this praise wasn’t really praising him, but rather subtly dissing him.

"Old Friend, you absorb so much spiritual energy, is this what you peed out? Oh, wait, that’s not right."

"Anyway, isn’t this holy spirit water a bit scarce? It’s not even enough for my Little Spirit Phoenix to take a few sips before it’s gone."

Wesley asked Old Friend again; if he let Little Spirit Phoenix drink it, it would be gone in one go

Unless Old Friend could keep producing this holy spirit water, as for how Old Friend conjured this holy spirit water...

Wesley wouldn’t bother with that; even if he knew, he certainly wouldn’t understand it.

It was better not to ask; as long as he knew it was a good thing, that was enough.

Something that could enhance the power of a beast’s Innate Skill, this was how heaven-defying it was; he didn’t even dare to imagine it.

[If you want your beast to die suddenly, you can let your beast consume a large amount of holy spirit water at once.]

"Old Friend, can you speak clearly? Stop always talking in riddles to your master!"

Wesley really wanted to find this Old Friend in his heart and give it a sound beating, just to let it know how tough he was.

Obviously, this was impossible; Old Friend was the Beast Space he had awakened, and this was its true form.

Or perhaps Old Friend was just that invisible, intangible consciousness, having no physical form at all.

[A beast only needs one drop of holy spirit water each time, and once an Innate Skill has been enhanced, consuming it again is ineffective!]

With that said, Wesley understood. Based on the fact that Little Spirit Phoenix could awaken eight Innate Skills, Little Spirit Phoenix could consume it eight times.

That meant eight drops of holy spirit water!

It would be the same for any beasts contracted in the future; if it was one drop each time, then there was still plenty of holy spirit water in this small puddle.

"Alright, Old Friend, you may withdraw!"

Wesley’s consciousness then withdrew from the black space, because in his sensing, Lillian had already successfully broken through.

At this moment, Lillian was flying on Wesley’s shoulder, constantly rubbing against Wesley’s cheek.

"Chirp— Master, Master, wake up quickly, Lily has broken through, I want to eat roasted meat."

Seeing Wesley with his eyes closed, Lillian thought her master had fallen asleep.

Wesley opened his eyes and saw the scene before him.

"Alright, alright, don’t be anxious, Master will take Little Spirit Phoenix to eat roasted meat in a moment."

Holding Lillian in the palm of his hand, Wesley began to examine Lillian after she had become a Two-Tier beast.

She was slightly larger, and her feathers had become even more vibrant red; just looking at Lillian’s exterior, one couldn’t really tell there was much of a change.

Thus, Wesley used the contract link to check Lillian’s current strength status.

"Haha, Little Spirit Phoenix is the best!"

After a few seconds, Wesley laughed out loud.

Because after Lillian broke through to Two-Tier, she had actually awakened a second Innate Skill.
