CHAPTER 664: CHAPTER 664: THIS IS THE PET I RAISED

Root Universe, a legendary place where a cataclysmic battle once occurred, releasing energy that created a singularity and eventually formed the present Material Universe.

How that battle began and what kind of world it was remains a mystery, but the remnants of weapons left behind are enough for a Transcender to risk everything to seize them.

Today, most of the Root Universe has been explored by the powerful, yet it still hides endless opportunities and treasures.

Due to the continuous expansion of the Material Universe, the remaining area of the Root Universe has become smaller, yet it remains vast, a paradise for Cosmic Beasts.

In a vast grassland, the faint scent of grass permeated the surroundings, making everything seem so peaceful that it was hard to associate the place with the dangerous Secret Realm where Demigods had fallen.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, the space in midair twisted, and moments later, a pitch-black spatial crack appeared from the void. Beams of light shot out from the crack and landed on the grassland. As the light faded, four figures emerged.

"Ugh!" Fang Jueyu vomited violently onto the ground the moment he landed. The experience was more intense than riding a roller coaster a hundred times. It felt like a spinning top was whirling rapidly in his head, and his body felt somewhat weak.

A stream of Cosmic Source Power flowed throughout his body, immediately dispelling the discomfort. He scanned his surroundings. The grassland was nearly half his height, and the unfamiliar environment made him vaguely anxious.

"Host, the environment here is very suitable for the survival of various life forms. The gravity is approximately 2.8 times that of your Earth, and the Cosmic Source Power is more than 15 times that of conventional areas!"

"So abundant!" Fang Jueyu ran the Potential Guiding Technique within himself, and the Cosmic Source Power surged through his body like a roaring tide. Training in such an environment would make his efficiency three to five times faster than at the Super God Academy!

"It’s not surprising. Your universe was born from this Root Universe, making it the birthplace of Cosmic Source Power. Such abundance is hardly unusual."

"With such an abundance of Cosmic Source Power here, if I could cultivate in seclusion for two years, I’m confident I could attempt to reach Divine Ability User level!" Bernard and the others showed expressions of delight.

"I just don’t know what kind of exam this is, or what means will be used to evaluate our performance."

"Could it be that we’ll have to fight each other?"

"No, probably not. If it were a battle against each other, there should be some extra rules. In the last exam, the Secret Realm kept shrinking until it was the size of a single arena, forcing everyone to fight."

"Could it be that we need to hunt for treasures here and exchange them for points?" Panuo speculated boldly.

"Stop guessing. I heard that there are many fierce beasts here with Cosmic Beast bloodlines. They’re not just Source Energy Level but also Divine-level, Controller Level, and even stronger ones. We need to quickly find a place to settle down." Bernard suggested.

"Host, directly north of you is a city relic left in the Root Universe. It seems like a place of mechanical civilization. Not only does it have towering walls, but it also has a lot of energy weapons, making it a stronghold that is easy to defend and hard to attack. You might consider heading there."

"Oh! I didn’t expect you to have this ability?" Fang Jueyu exclaimed happily. This little Yi was practically a living map!

"It’s nothing!" Little Yi boasted, "For any area explored so far, I have detailed maps!"

Fang Jueyu immediately shared his suggestion with the others, and they looked surprised. Almost no information about the Root Universe had been leaked, and only those who personally explored it knew the specifics.

Even if the seniors behind Fang Jueyu had been here, they wouldn’t have known they would enter this Secret Realm before the Cosmic Federation School exam. How could they have prepared in advance?

Instantly, Fang Jueyu’s image grew even more mysterious in their minds.

"The continent of this Root Universe also experiences day and night. At our speed, if we hurry, we might reach there before dark!" Fang Jueyu said. "If it gets dark, many nocturnal fierce beasts will come out to wreak havoc!"

"And we better not fly. The beasts in the sky are generally above Divine Ability User level. Although we’re in the outer area where the beasts are relatively weaker, we should still be cautious!"

"Fang Jueyu, we’ve realized how lucky we are to know you!"

"Hahaha, this is just the beginning. Soon, you’ll feel like your ancestors’ graves are emitting green smoke."

"Hmm? What does that mean?"

"Haha, nothing, let’s get moving!"

"Wait, have you heard something?" Lancelot suddenly stopped. Being a half-human, half-mechanical special human, Lancelot’s senses were far sharper than ordinary Martial Artists.

"Rumble!" Fang Jueyu pressed his ear to the ground, hearing what sounded like a thousand troops charging toward them.

"It’s the Thunder Giant Lizard!" Using his instruments, Lancelot’s vision seemed akin to having clairvoyance.

In the Cosmic Beast Atlas, the Thunder Giant Lizard was classified as a level two fierce beast. They had sharp horns on their heads, moved on all fours, and were about five meters long including the tail. Their strength ranged from Source Energy Level seven to the peak of Source Energy Level, not particularly powerful.

They possessed an organ similar to an electric eel that could store electric currents, enough to stun weaker Martial Artists with a touch.

However, they had a characteristic: they appeared in packs of hundreds or even thousands. If entangled with them, it could be quite troublesome!

"There are 451 of them! They will reach us in about a minute and a half. What do we do?"

"Fight through!" Everyone instantly reached a consensus.

Soon, hundreds of Thunder Giant Lizards appeared in their view. Their massive bodies and gleaming horns created a huge sense of oppression. Fang Jueyu had no doubt that if such creatures appeared on Earth, a single charge could flatten a city!

"Prepare!" Scales stretched over Bernard’s arms, and a violent aura spread from him. His hands transformed into a pair of fierce-looking beast claws!

Lancelot held a beam blade in his hand, and the mechanical parts of his body revealed dark cannon barrels.

Without a word, Panuo grasped the mechanical battle gun on his back.

"Boss, let brother and I join too!" Before Fang Jueyu could stop them, Little Black, abandoning its previously obedient and cute demeanor, transformed into a massive three-headed beast several stories tall, emanating a Tier 2 Divine-level aura!

Er Gouzi roared, its eyes radiating purple light, and a black-purple Cosmic Source Power condensed behind it into a five-meter-high phantom!

"Fang... Fang brother, what are these things around you...?" The three of them had never seen such a sight. Originally, they thought Fang Jueyu’s two small creatures were just harmless pets. Who knew they had this side!

The Tier 3 Divine-level power was enough to handle most of the genius Martial Artists from other cosmic nations here! As for the other creature, although it was only at the peak of Source Energy Level, its aura felt even more dangerous than the three-headed monster!

"Damn! I wanted to keep a low profile," Fang Jueyu scratched his head. "Well... they are my pets! Aren’t they cute?"
