Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was deep into the second night.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, sporting dark circles under his eyes, flipping through his study notes of the past two days.

Slaughter Atlas's upgrade was not yet complete, and Chu Chen felt like he had lost his soul. He couldn't concentrate in Liu Hong's class, so he forced himself to take notes, reviewing them multiple times afterward.

He couldn't even sleep now. Since the afternoon of the previous day, whenever he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with images of the Slaughter Atlas disappearing, and even Lei Yao couldn't save it.

Each time he was startled awake by nightmares, leaving him in a state of mental exhaustion.

Everyone assumed he was still immersed in the sorrow of losing Lei Yao and offered their condolences.

This left Chu Chen feeling both amused and helpless.

At that moment, a golden radiance suddenly erupted in his Soul Sea, dyeing it entirely golden.

Chu Chen sensed the change in his Soul Sea and hurriedly entered a meditative state to examine it closely.

A book enveloped in golden radiance slowly rose from the Soul Sea, like the sun breaking free from the ocean.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's face immediately lit up with delight, for these past two days had truly felt like years to him.

At this moment, he felt like he was experiencing an ascension.

The Slaughter Atlas floated above the Soul Sea, its enveloping golden radiance gradually retracting until it appeared simple and unadorned.

Chu Chen suppressed his excitement and began to examine the changes in the Slaughter Atlas.

First, the appearance changed from a striking gold to a subdued dark gold, making it look more ancient and mysterious.

There were minor functional changes; the skill upgrades remained the same, but the evolution formulas changed. Previously, these formulas could only be used by him, and their quality was restricted by his level. Now, others could use them too, with no level restrictions. This means that as long as he has enough Slaughter Value, he could become the strongest Breeder.

Chu Chen reviewed the evolution formulas to see if Lei Yao could evolve and completely remove the Blood Ancestor's Essence Blood.

After a moment, he looked away disappointedly. The Blood Ancestor's Essence Blood was indeed too overpowering, and none of the evolution paths could eliminate it.

Chu Chen composed himself and continued to explore the other functions of the Slaughter Atlas, discovering three new features. The first is Domain Comprehension. As long as a Guardian Beast's skill level reaches the Great Success Realm, a certain Slaughter Value can be spent to allow the Guardian Beast to comprehend the Domain in advance.

The second function is enhancing mastery over the Heaven and Earth Elements.

To strengthen the Domain, two conditions must be met: the Realm and mastery of Elemental Power.

Moreover, enhancing elemental mastery allows Guardian Beasts to cast skills faster and with greater power.

The third function is the Exchange Function, covering a wide range of items including Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, cultivation techniques, soul skills, skill secret techniques, talents, and more.

As long as one has enough Slaughter Value, any item can be exchanged.

Chu Chen quickly surveyed the exchange list and was stunned to find even Celestial Tier Heavenly and Earthly Treasures available for exchange. However, the required Slaughter Value was shockingly enormous, he didn't even dare to count the zeroes.

He wasn't entirely unrewarded; he found Secret Techniques for Nirvana and the Shadow Killing Race in the secret techniques list.

The exchange price of a Secret Technique is related to its initial quality. After evolving from Thunder Ant to Wood Ant, Nirvana's initial quality is Excellence Level, requiring five thousand Slaughter Value to exchange.

In contrast, Shadow Kill's initial quality is Perfect Level, thus requiring a full ten thousand Slaughter Value to exchange a secret technique.

Chu Chen reluctantly withdrew his gaze, knowing his Slaughter Value had dwindled to a few hundred points, those recently gained from Lei Yao's Star Beast kills.

Chu Chen sighed and murmured to himself, "I'm still too poor right now. If I could have enough Slaughter Value, my strength would increase rapidly."

Chu Chen wallowed in dejection for a while, then drifted into a deep sleep.

In a flash, it was two months later.

In Chu Chen's room at the Celestial Dragon Training Camp, Shadow Kill was trying to break through with all its might.

Chu Chen watched nervously from the side.

Shadow Kill's current realm had already reached the Peak of War General Level, preparing to break through to Commander Level.

In fact, given Shadow Kill's quality, breaking through to Commander Level was not difficult. However, Liu Hong would lead them on a secret mission the next day. If Shadow Kill failed to break through, his situation in the battle would be extremely awkward.

At that moment, Shadow Kill abruptly opened its eyes, and its aura began to soar, breaking through to the First Rank of Commander Level in the blink of an eye.

Chu Chen's face lit up with joy as he eagerly stepped forward to pat Shadow Kill's head, saying, "Well done. Strengthen your realm for now, and see if you can comprehend the Domain later."

Shadow Kill tilted its head, looking puzzled.

Chu Chen didn't explain but smiled and said, "Focus on consolidating your realm for now, and you'll know soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Shadow Kill resumed its cultivation.

A moment later, seeing the time was right, Chu Chen retrieved a Domain Fruit from his Spatial Ring.

"Eat it," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shadow Kill didn't hesitate, raising its Blade Arm to take the Domain Fruit.

Shadow Kill swallowed the Domain Fruit and sprawled on the ground, beginning to refine it with all its might.

Chu Chen had been using Slaughter Value to progressively enhance Shadow Kill's skill levels since a month ago, now raising them to the Great Success Realm.
