Chapter 52: Yuka, Average Beast Cultivation of Half-step Void Crossing Realm, Albia

It was only then that Zar noticed a gorgeous naked woman with a body-to-die-for standing beside him, her fox-like slitted red eyes glowing with utmost respect. Several pairs of fluffy white tails swayed hypnotically behind her, seemingly trying to put him into a trance.

Albion’s eyes narrowed at this pale-skinned foxy woman. As it compared itself to her, it became ever more annoyed.

"Albion?" asked Zar.

Albion turned its head off to the side, acting like a pouty woman.

’What the...’

"Master," said the foxy woman, pulling him out of his thoughts. "What are your orders for me?"

"...Yukon... Or I guess your name should be something different..."

Without even needing to be asked, the System said, [The names of Named Beasts can be changed. But only once. Names are very important, after all (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃]

"Convenient," Zar muttered as he immediately requested to change Yukon’s name to Yuka to better match her... feminine appearance. "You’re going to need some clothes as well..."

Yuka tilted her head, not understanding.

Even after looking at her disastrous curves, she felt nothing to be odd.

"Does Master not like this body of mine?" she asked apathetically, extending her sharpened claws, prepared to desecrate her perfect figure if need be. "I can destroy—"

"No, that won’t be necessary," Zar rejected with a twitching expression. "Just take these and put them on."

"Is that an order, Master?" Yuka asked while staring at the fluttery white dress held in his hands.

"Yes... Just please put them on..."

"Very well, Master," Yuka complied, accepting the dress. She then put it on right in front of Zar, not caring a single bit that she was showing him all the goods and angles.

Eventually.

"Done, Master," said Yuka as she pulled on the hems of her mesmerizing dress, curious as to why there were so many frilly things. "Is good for Master?"

"...Yes... Is good..."

Meanwhile, Albion grew even more irritated. And it made sure to make its stance known by jingling the chains it had connected to the hundreds of bloodied Demon Beasts still waiting down below.

"???"

"I’m assuming you want a name change as well...?" Zar asked in exasperation.

Albion swiveled its head toward him, beaming at the notion.

"Fine then..." Zar gave in. "Your name shall be Albia from now on."

OOOM!

A bit of light erupted from and surrounded Albia, signifying the success of the name change.

[Named Shadow Beast ’Yukon’ has undergone its only name change, becoming ’Yuka’]

[Named Shadow Beast ’Albion’ has undergone its only name change, becoming ’Albia’]

"Everybody happy now?"

Yuka blankly stared at him, unsure of the answer to the question. Albia, on the other hand, practically leapt up in joy. She wound up flying to her Master, smothering him in her feathers.

"THanKss... MaStER..."

The only unfortunate part about this whole ordeal was that she didn’t have a mostly human form like Yuka. She still closely resembled that of a swan and had a shadowy, inhuman skin tone.

However, with every further improvement in cultivation, more of her human features became prominent.

It surely wouldn’t be long before she looked as human as Yuka did.

"Alright, that’s enough," ordered Zar as he gently pushed Albia off of him. "Let’s get back to the main matter at hand."

Albia flashed a smug look at Yuka, but not understanding why she did this, Yuka tilted her head once again.

"Albia and Yuka, both of you are definitely the strongest among the Shadow Beasts with those special growth skills of yours," Zar began. "Thus, you’ll be the Generals heading the ’clean-up’ operation of the Blazing Sun Sect. Everything that isn’t wearing an insignia like the one stitched on my robes is your target. You are to mercilessly slaughter them all, sparing not a single one. But make sure to stay away from those in the Origin Infant Realm, for they are... mine."

The chained Demon Beasts below unconsciously shivered, even if Zar’s killing intent wasn’t directed at them.

"Oh."

Their fright reminded him of their existences, urging him to casually flick out with his highly condensed Intent Sword. With the superior control of Sword Aura to enhance his Sword Dao capabilities, he easily killed all of the chained Demon Beasts without damaging even a single blade of grass.

Precise and skillful killings.

*Ding!*

[You have...]

Ignoring the System Notifications, Zar spent the Lifespan required to add them to his Shadow Army.

"Arise."

"Arise."

"Erect."

"Arise..."

After saying that phrase over two hundred times, Zar hit the upper limit of his Shadow Beast count. But seeing as there were still many more Deity Transformation Realm Demon Beasts to be converted, he invested 100,000 years of Lifespan into increasing his maximum Shadow Beast Army limit.

*Ding!*

[After spending 100,000 years of Lifespan on further unshackling the potential of your Shadow Army, your Maximum Shadow Beast Limit increased from (750) → (1500)]

"Oh... That might’ve been a tad bit too much," Zar commented, but still went through with the conversion process of all the scattered Demon Beast corpses.

After a few minutes of making his voice hoarser and hoarser, all 1500 of his Shadow Beast slots had been filled. However, not all of them were of the Deity Transformation Realm, because Albia hadn’t captured enough of them in the surrounding primitive forests.

Just finding a little over five hundred of them already required her to travel distances of hundreds of thousands of miles outside the Blazing Sun Sect. Then she had to locate more and more of them without alerting any in the vicinity, which was extremely difficult considering the hundreds of huge Demon Beasts she carried around with her like tied June beetles.

But in spite of that, her hard work had still saved Zar hundreds of years of Lifespan, which he was grateful for.

Every year counted.

*Ding!*

[You invested 200 years of Lifespan increasing the cultivation of your Shadow Beasts, and because of your Divine Grade Spirit Roots, massive advancements have been made!]

[Average Beast Cultivation: Deity Transformation (2nd Layer) → Half-step Void Crossing]

Too OP!

Divine Grade Spirit Roots were simply too overpowered!
