After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

As the Demon Eagle's wings expanded, its entire appearance also became much more harmonious.

The Demon Eagle had always looked a bit odd before.

Its massive body had many wings on its back, but they were too small, resembling tiny melon seeds on a plump peanut.

Now, it looked much more balanced overall.

Moreover, Chen Xing noticed that the wings on the Demon Eagle's back were covered with dense patterns.

"So you've recovered?"

"I've basically recovered. Actually, my main injury was the depletion of my origin, but even that has surprisingly recovered." The Demon Eagle looked at Chen Xing in astonishment.

It had never imagined that the extent of its recovery would be better than expected.

It had never heard of someone whose origin had depleted being able to recover.

It was like a well, where the depth of the well represented the robustness of the origin, and the water inside represented the state.

The black mist of the Dark Realm could erode the origin, which was also why they were imprisoned in the Dark Realm in the first place.

After a long time, not only had the water in the Demon Eagle's well become scarce, but the well's depth had also become shallower.

It originally thought that recovery would, at most, replenish the water, allowing its state to return to its current limit.

But not only had the water recovered, the depth of the well had also returned to its original level.

Chen Xing could feel that the Demon Eagle's strength was now very powerful.

"Master, my strength has returned to its peak."

"What state are you in now?"

"The third step of Ascension." The Demon Eagle briefly sensed its power before stating its current state, which was also the peak state it had achieved in its prime.

"The third step of Ascension?"

"Yes, Master. Ascension is divided into nine steps. Those who reach the fifth step in our era could just about be titled kings," the Demon Eagle said.

"It's a pity my talents are not sufficient. No matter how hard I tried in the past, I could barely reach the third step." The Demon Eagle said with a hint of regret.

"Not to worry. You just do your job well, and not just Ascension to the fifth step, but even the seventh or eighth steps or even igniting the Divine Fire might not be impossible," Chen Xing said with profound meaning.

Hearing Chen Xing's words, the Demon Eagle would have scoffed in disbelief before, thinking such a promise was far-fetched.

But after this experience, the Demon Eagle unconditionally believed in its Master's words.

"Don't worry, Master. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will be your most loyal enforcer," the Demon Eagle humbly prostrated itself, its massive body lying on the ground, wings on its back layered like a slide, flat on the surface.

As a youth, when it first heard of the Ascension Realm, it thought it could easily stride across the nine steps and ignite the Divine Fire, achieving a godly status.

But life dealt it a blow, changing its ambition from achieving godhood to being satisfied with being a formidable power that could ascend to the eighth step.

However, talent was like shackles; it had to put forth a hundred times more effort to make any progress compared to creatures with better talents.

The harsh reality made it adjust its ideal to becoming a mighty king by ascending to the fifth step.

If one could become a king, even in its former era filled with gods, being careful and abstaining from major events would mean ruling like a tyrant in a local region.

But even this threshold appeared to be an insurmountable boulder in its path.

Eventually, it came to terms with reality; its desire was merely to survive in a world where monsters were preyed upon.

Like a scavenging vulture not choosy in its food, it picked at others' leftovers, engaging in acts others scorned, lowly existing in the shadows.

At night, it also occasionally lamented its lowly heritage and why its bloodline was so inferior.

But in this moment, it felt somewhat relieved.

At least its past self had strived to live, scraping by to this day, and then it met its master.

[Species] Suspended Island Sky Roc

[Divinity] 1 (Divinity Augmentation: Hardness +1)

[Skills]

Innate Skill: Magic Cloud Black Mist (Active) (Perfect): Capable of summoning the innate Magic Cloud Black Mist, which doesn't have attacking capabilities on its own, but can conceal the Demon Eagle's form, support its flight, and accommodate certain Principles' powers, serving as a medium for extending the Principles.

The Demon Eagle's stat panel had undergone significant changes, especially in its Innate Skill.

Originally, the Demon Eagle's Innate Skill was to summon Magic Cloud Black Mist, but upon breaking through Ascension, the Magic Cloud Black Mist acquired additional descriptions, emphasizing its connection with the Principles.

It looked somewhat like a skill optimized by Chen Xing's Beast Taming.

"You've made good progress in understanding the Corrosion Principle, reaching the third layer," Chen Xing spoke with praise.

The Demon Eagle was inwardly startled; its Master had perceived the level of its Principle at a glance.

It quickly said modestly, "I'm not that advanced. Mainly because I'm rather dense, I've only managed to grasp one Principle, so I've barely reached the third layer."

"If you had to fight with that Descending Catastrophe of Fire right now, could you defeat it?"

The Demon Eagle hesitated for a moment, "If its state is below the third step, I should be able to have the upper hand."

"What if it's at the third step of Ascension?"

The Demon Eagle stated righteously, "I could buy enough time for you, Master!"

Chen Xing frowned, the gap was that big?

It conceded defeat without even fighting.

It seemed like Chen Xing's thoughts were guessed, and with a bitter smile, the Demon Eagle explained, "Master, the higher the realm, the greater the gap. My bloodline is actually considered lower-tier in Ascension, and when I achieved Transcendence, I chose the easiest path of Magic Transcendence.

In the Ascension Realm, I've only grasped one Principle, and due to insufficient Divine Power, the organ I chose to divinize was also the smallest—the finger bone..."
