Chapter 1500

In short, of all the companion beasts in the Huaxia Federation, the one Su Yang most wanted to obtain was the Yinglong.

The last time he saw the Yinglong, it was at God-Rank Low-Grade strength.

It's only been a few months; it probably hasn't broken through yet.

The Phoenix looked at Su Yang and said gravely: "If it's a divine beast born in your world, it might truly be tamed by you—at least your odds are far greater than those of an ordinary God-Rank Beast Tamer."

"Really?"

Su Yang knew that creatures like the Phoenix knew far more than he did, and far more than Xiao Yu and Xiao Shan's mother.

"Of course it's true."

"Why?"

The Phoenix explained: "That divine beast is likely the final effort of your world's will—it was born to protect the life of this world. As a native Beast Tamer of this world, it will naturally feel closer to you."

"Oh!"

It was nearly identical to what Xiao Shan's mother said.

"Is that divine beast a totem of any civilization?"

"The Huaxia Federation!"

The Phoenix couldn't help saying: "You're incredibly lucky—the odds just got even better!"

"Do you know where it is?"

"Somewhere in the eastern deep sea. When I first entered this world, I sensed its aura… and of course, it sensed me too!"

"Take me there!"

The Phoenix thought for a moment and said: "I can give you my full help, but you must promise me one thing."

Another demand?

Su Yang didn't understand why people kept making demands of him.

"What demand?"

The Phoenix said slyly: "Promise first, then I'll tell you!"

"Forget it!" Su Yang waved his hand and immediately summoned Stormhawk, leaping onto its back in a flash. "If you don't want to help, then don't! I can handle it myself!"

Su Yang calculated: Earthquake Bear, God-Rank Low-Grade, should be able to withstand the Yinglong's attacks.

Add the Hellblood Vine and Explosion Yan Mo, two Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade companion beasts, and the Void Wandering Spirit could provide auxiliary support. With a bit of effort, defeating that Yinglong was certain.

He had already decided: once he tamed the Yinglong, he'd find a chance to get rid of the Solitude Phoenix.

A companion beast that won't obey orders—even if its potential is God-Rank Top-Grade—is worthless trash!

He hadn't severed the contract yet only because he didn't want the Phoenix to cause trouble and ruin his plans.

Seeing Su Yang about to abandon her, the Phoenix grew anxious: "Su Yang, I am a divine beast from the Great Beast Tamer World. If I reveal my aura, that Yinglong will definitely react. The oceans of Water Blue Planet are vast—if I don't help you, you'll spend a year or more searching."

"No problem—I have all the time in the world!"

Stormhawk took off immediately, flying toward the northeastern seas.

Hearing Su Yang's words, the Phoenix grew even more anxious.

She had clearly noticed Su Yang's coldness toward her.

Standing to the side, Sovereign Jiazi smiled inwardly—she knew Su Yang's nature well: he preferred honesty and despised deception.

Clearly, the Phoenix had violated this taboo.

The Phoenix spread her wings, leapt into the air, and transformed into her true form, blocking Su Yang's path: "What must I do for you to agree to my demand?"

Su Yang said impatiently: "State your terms first—I'll see if I can accept them. Otherwise, don't block my way!"

The Phoenix hesitated, then said: "I'll help you with all my strength, but if I'm injured or my power drops sharply in the short term, you must protect me—you cannot abandon me!"

"... That's it?"

"Also, if possible, help me increase my power!" The Phoenix pointed at Sovereign Jiazi. "I want growth speed like that little fish."

"... That's it?"

"Will you agree?"

"Fine."

Su Yang wanted to laugh inside.

All those benefits, his other companion beasts already had.

The Phoenix hadn't received them—she'd simply been withheld.

What a naive child!

"Then let's go!"

Su Yang instantly recalled Stormhawk and sat atop the Phoenix.

The Phoenix's body was warm!

This was the first time the Phoenix had revealed her true form since becoming Su Yang's companion beast—he wouldn't miss this chance.

In short, get on first!

"Su Yang… you!"

"What's wrong?"

"How dare you sit on me!"

The Phoenix snapped angrily.

"You're my companion beast—why can't I ride you?"

This little phoenix had an even worse temper than Stormhawk—Su Yang certainly wouldn't coddle her!

"Do you think I won't burn you to death?"

Su Yang gently stroked the Phoenix's red feathers and murmured: "Do you want to betray me?"

The phoenix fell silent.

As Su Yang's pet beast, it could only attack Su Yang if it defected.

Once it defected, it could no longer form a contract with any Beast Tamer.

Su Yang patted the phoenix and said, "Enough with the fuss—get me to that Yinglong right away. If you help me capture it, I'll give you a reward you won't believe!"

Su Yang was the first being in a thousand years to ride atop the phoenix.

The phoenix remained silent, using its silent silence to resist Su Yang and express its displeasure.

Yet its body was still honest—it flew northward.

Su Yang glanced at the phoenix's loyalty toward him—it had risen by over ten points, barely reaching fifty!

Su Yang furrowed his brow and stroked his chin stubble, wondering silently: could gaining the phoenix's loyalty require more than just an irresistible reward—could it require force?

Did this proud, temperamental phoenix prefer to be conquered by strength?

The phoenix flew at incredible speed; twenty minutes later, it carried Su Yang from the deep southeastern seas to the eastern deep seas of the Chinese Federation.

The phoenix spoke: "Get ready—I'll draw out that Yinglong beast!"

"Good!"

Sudden orange-red flames erupted from the Extinction Phoenix.

Wrapped in the orange-red flames, its body swelled wildly, eventually expanding to hundreds of meters.

It let out a sharp, ferocious cry, and its orange-red feathers drifted down toward the sea.

The deep sea within a thousand li radius was evaporated entirely; countless sea beasts and plants were burned to ash, revealing the seabed melted into liquid glass.

It flew northward, burning all the way, forcibly carving a gorge nearly a thousand li wide—returning seawater could not even come close to matching its speed.

It seemed determined to evaporate all of Blue Planet's oceans and burn every sea beast into ash.
