Beast Taming: I Picked Up a Holy Dragon Egg at the Start

He was incredibly powerful, having tamed many formidable Phantom Beasts.

Later, he even established a dojo in Holy Dragon Village.

He taught many young people to become Beast Masters.

The villagers called him the Beast God—

a deity who could command all beasts.

But as the years passed, the Beast God vanished without a trace.

Gradually, the village had no more Beast Masters.

By Chen Xuan's generation, the Holy Dragon Dojo had completely declined.

The only ones who could command a Holy Light Dragon—

Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen could only think of the Beast God from back then.

"Could it really be Lord Beast God?"

"That holy white light earlier—maybe Lord Beast God has returned."

Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen gazed devoutly at that figure, their mouths agape.

But at that moment!

Chen Xuan paid no attention to Deng Xiuwen or Li Cong.

Instead, he stared at the black energy barrier atop the massive stone platform.

"Obsidian Evolution Stone!"

Chen Xuan recognized that stone—it was the Obsidian Evolution Stone.

It was also his target this time.

All things possess spirit.

Evolution resources like this one also carry a certain spiritual nature, forming an energy barrier to protect themselves.

This resource must have been hidden in this valley, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy all along.

By now, it had taken shape, emitting energy fluctuations that caught the attention of Bangula and the Great Arm Ape.

"Good thing I arrived in time, or those two might have snatched it first."

Looking at the battered Bangula and Great Arm Ape, Chen Xuan felt a bit relieved.

"Little White, head over there!"

Chen Xuan commanded the Holy Light Dragon to fly toward the platform.

Just then!

Chen Xuan's brow twitched.

As he stared at the black energy barrier, a Phantom Beast's attribute panel appeared in his vision.

Before he could make out the details—

"Whoa!"

A cry rang out!

The black energy barrier of the Obsidian Evolution Stone rippled.

A figure was sent flying.

A small silhouette tumbled down from high above, then landed on the ground with a thud, rubbing its sore bottom.

It was a tanuki-like Phantom Beast, wearing a tiny hat.

Standing half a meter tall, it looked utterly adorable.

[Shapeshifting Tanuki Mimicry Mutation]

Level: Silver Ninth-tier

Bloodline Rarity: Elite

Type: Beast / Shapeshifter

天赋技能:Scratch Pounce, Hundred Forms Transformation

Introduction: A Phantom Beast that dwells within the forest. Its Bloodline Rarity is not high, yet it is an exceedingly rare Phantom Beast in its own right. It possesses little offensive power, unable to defeat even weaker Phantom Beasts, but it has a very special ability: upon reaching adulthood, it can transform into any of the hundred creatures or objects it saw at birth, mimicking their demeanor and aura with such perfect realism that even many Phantom Beasts struggle to tell truth from falsehood. Relying on this ability, they manage to escape from many powerful Phantom Beasts. It is said that after evolution, their transformation ability grows even stronger, granting them partial access to the original abilities of the creatures they mimic.

"Mimicry Mutation!"

Chen Xuan was somewhat startled!

So it had simulated the same form as that stone to move.

That was why no one had noticed it.

In truth, Chen Xuan didn't know that the cliff wall Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen had seen at the end of the valley earlier.

Was also a mimicry from the Shapeshifting Tanuki.

It had long since discovered this Obsidian Evolution Stone on the verge of forming.

And had simulated a cliff wall to block the way here.

Unexpectedly, it still ended up drawing the attention of Bangula, the Great Arm Ape, and that pack of Wind Wolves.

"Waaah!"

The Shapeshifting Tanuki, sent flying by the shockwave, cried out in fury.

Right at that moment!

A blaze of fiery red light suddenly erupted from the Shapeshifting Tanuki's body.

Then!

A piercing, resonant cry echoed through the desolate valley, stirring the soul and seizing the heart.

A fiery red figure shot into the sky.

"What!"

"Ph—Phoenix!!!"

In the distance, Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen, who had been watching everything, trembled in shock as they pointed at the figure spreading its wings in the sky.

Those wings, when fully extended, spanned over a hundred meters.

Feathers like flames, a crown of vivid brilliance, a beak like steel, and talons like hooks—majestic and fearsome.

The Divine Phoenix.

An ancient Phantom Beast species.

One of the most powerful Phantom Beasts.

Legend spoke of it as a Mythic Bloodline Phantom Beast.

Even stronger than the Holy Dragon of their Holy Dragon Village.

This was a Phantom Beast of legend.

They never imagined they would one day lay eyes on it.

Their excitement made their bodies tremble.

Today, they had not only encountered a Holy Dragon.

But also seen the legendary Phoenix.

"Our entire lives have been worth it."

In that moment!

Li Cong and Deng Xiuwen felt they had no regrets left in this world.

"Phoenix!"

When he saw that majestic and sacred creature appear.

Chen Xuan was also taken aback.

But then he smiled.
