The First Store System

Chapter 1416: Golden Star Tortoise!

After confirming that the beast was what he recognized, Grosal immediately looked at the characteristics section.

The next moment, a smile spread across his face since it was the ability he cherished more than [Astral's Reflection].

The Golden Star Tortoise looked similar to the Star Tortoise. The only difference between the two species was the eye color. The latter had deep black eyes, while the Golden Star Tortoise had a tint of gold in their eyes.

The Golden Star Tortoise was a creature that Grosal didn't have in his inner world. It was a rare mutation caused in the Star Tortoise race, making it a unique creature in the Tortoise group.

[Astral Ascendance] was an exclusive skill of the Golden Star Tortoise. There were many skills with the title of ascendance, but the majority of them were pure exaggerations, while the remaining were immensely overpowered. The case with the Golden Star Tortoise was the latter situation.

The skill was so powerful that it alerted powerful beings across the Sacred Dimension. If the Golden Star Tortoise somehow reached the Sacred Creator level, no other being would be able to match up to it due to the reality-altering ability that didn't care for any defenses or strengths of the beings at the same power level.

The Tortoise group had tried immensely hard to protect the Golden Star Tortoise, but as destiny would have it, the Golden Star Tortoise didn't live for long. The mutation gave it a strong ability, but at the same time, it wasn't very stable.

That was the first and last Golden Star Tortoise in the Sacred Dimension. The one in Grosal's hand was the second beast of the species.

Grosal's eyes contained a mixture of solemnity and excitement, remembering the history of the beast. But in the end, the ability to gain complete mastery over destiny for even a second could completely change the dynamics.

The decision was made, and Grosal left the queue, his direction being the square device at the center end of the room. There was a long line waiting for him, so he had to wait again if he wanted to enter.

Since it took only a moment for one customer to step away from the queue, the wait didn't last very long, but that time was more than enough for Grosal to ponder over his decision.

Choosing the Golden Star Tortoise was only the start. Hiding it from his friends and other leaders in the organization wasn't a difficult part since he had his inner world, and the resources inside it were more than enough for the beast to thrive and reach the Sacred Monarch level.

The most concerning issue was the mutation. It wasn't stable since the Golden Star Tortoise died suddenly, with no one being aware of the out-of-control mutation.

Grosal decided to ask the store owner about it since the store had sold the beast. Soon, his turn arrived, and he removed all other thoughts from his head.

He didn't waste any time and placed the Star Tortoise beast card in the card compartment and his hand in the respective section. Following that, Grosal's consciousness went inside the taming area to battle.

One second passed in a flash, and Grosal opened his eyes. His eyes showed nothing since defeating a Divine Lord beast at the same level wasn't something worth celebrating. He had reached the Sacred Creator cultivation level, while there had been no Star Tortoise at the same level, so even with the ultimate level of talent, Grosal's accumulation and strength surpassed the beast.

Hiss!

Grosal suddenly hissed in pain when an unbearable pain originated from his soul. He immediately looked at the hand section, and the pain had already disappeared.

Following that, the screen on the device lit up, and the contract's content appeared on it. Soon, only the last step of payment was left, but since another beast was waiting for the taming battle, Grosal pulled out the Star Tortoise beast card and replaced it with the second card.

After placing his hand in the hand compartment, the world in front of his eyes changed.

Grosal stood on a vast plain with the sky filled with a sea of stars. Since he was a user of divination, he could sense the abundance of energy in the atmosphere. It was a heaven for the users who derived their energy from the stars.

Croak!

The next moment, a croak rang in Grosal's ears as starlight particles started gathering together, and soon, it formed the silhouette of the Golden Star Tortoise.

Following that, the beast materialized and stared at its opponent. The Supreme God Golden Star Tortoise was smaller in size than the Divine Lord Star Tortoise by a large margin.

Grosal could gather three Golden Star Tortoises in his palm at once, and there would still be some space left beside them.

Grosal's cultivation level had also dropped to peak Supreme God, so the aura leaking from the beast was no less than what Grosal released.

Ding!

The next moment, the bell rang, announcing the start of the taming battle.

Grosal immediately made his move. Starlight gathered in his palm and the space around him had turbulence.

Starlight formed small energy balls, and each of them acted like they were part of his body. Grosal then flicked those balls one after another.

The beast didn't just stand there and also acted. It felt some danger from the upcoming energy balls, so it activated [Celestial Warding]. The next moment, the energy balls crashed on an invisible wall protecting the beast.

The energy balls had a corrosion effect, so they tried to corrode the barrier, and it was slowly succeeding. Grosal made another attack and charged forward.

His movements were like blurs as he reached the beast and kicked.

Crack!

The repeated assault of the energy balls and Grosal's kicks overwhelmed the defense, and the sound of cracks rang in the area.

Seeing his attempt succeed, Grosal increased the intensity of his kicks, and soon, the invisible wall completely broke down.

The tortoise seemed to be already prepared for it. When the invisible barrier made from starlight disappeared, the beast also disappeared with it.

Grosal immediately felt danger from his left, so without wasting any time, he bent down.
