Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 725 - 720: Unexpected Evolution

Chapter 725: Chapter 720: Unexpected Evolution

The Law Emperor peered suspiciously at Bai Qi’s pet beasts, finding something more and more amiss the more he looked.

Beyond the Undead Department’s Alpha as Bai Qi’s Main Pet and the snake that could use Space Department magic, Bai Qi’s other pets all more or less bore skills to keep the undead in check.

Upon observing Bai Qi’s choices, it was clear he didn’t take the single attribute path, yet with this tactical combination at hand, the Law Emperor couldn’t help analyzing more.

“Having grievances against the Undead Department? How is that even possible!”

Bai Qi shook his head dismissively at the suggestion; his own mentor was a living legend and a high-ranking member of the Undead Department. To bear a grudge against the department would equate to insulting his own mentor’s teachings.

“Your Majesty, you’re aware of the existence of death, aren’t you? I suppose my efforts are to confront this reality.”

Bai Qi didn’t mask his intentions; the Law Emperor, on the other hand, slipped into deep contemplation.

As the ruler of the Empire, the Law Emperor indeed was familiar with myths related to death. However, compared to the palpable threats of the tribes and undead, he paid less attention to the elusive aspect of death.

“Bai Qi, do you think death will reappear?”

The Law Emperor turned to Bai Qi, questioning him directly.

“I firmly believe that it will show up again,” Bai Qi solemnly agreed. Then he pointed towards the Secret Realm tower beneath them, saying: “After all, hasn’t the entity possessing the Power of Death already emerged here?”

“Indeed, finding the Dragon Witch Ghoul would naturally solve all mysteries.”

The Law Emperor smiled knowingly, then started inspecting their surroundings.

Thanks to the powerful Purify skill of the Moonlight Ancient Tree, the Resentful Souls around them were diminishing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Concurrently, the size of the Moonlight Ancient Tree was growing continuously, surpassing the handling limit of the Insect Guard.

The Insect Guard slowly descended from the air, resting on the ground to alleviate the load on its head. Yet, this didn’t halt the Moonlight Ancient Tree’s growth.

It wasn’t due to greed, but while initiating the Moonlight Ancient Tree, the Insect Guard could tangibly perceive the enhancement of its own spirit.

This sort of enhancement was not an explosive growth with adverse effects, but a natural and gradual increment—like filling up a canal drop by drop.

However, this particular canal seemed rather broad—probably as vast as a flood diversion.

“Need a break? How about digesting a bit before we proceed?”

Looking at the Insect Guard whose head was almost entirely covered by the Moonlight Ancient Tree, Bai Qi asked humorously yet sympathetically.

“Don’t worry, chief. I can endure it. Just that I might need a nice little sleep.”

With these words, the Insect Guard closed its eyes and peacefully dozed off. Simultaneously, a Bright Sun gradually rose beside it, assisting in purifying the surrounding Resentful Souls.

“The Sun and Moon emerged together. Bai Qi, your pets’ Attribute combinations are indeed complex; your mentor must have taken great pains to train them.”

Observing this, the Law Emperor couldn’t help but praise. Composite attributes held immense advantage, though ordinary people wouldn’t go down this path.

On one hand, focusing on a single attribute was as strong; on the other, composite attributes required too many resources.

From what he saw, nearly all of Bai Qi’s pets held composite attributes—in various combinations no less. The resources they required were surely overwhelming.

“Indeed. Keeping these critters is indeed a costly affair.”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. If he hadn’t racked his brains scouring for resources, he wouldn’t have been able to afford their upkeep.

“Ha ha ha … I have abundance of resources accumulated in my palace. If you’re not in a rush to leave after this matter is settled, feel free to check my warehouse for anything useful.”

“Thanks a lot, Your Majesty!”

The Law Emperor laughed heartily while Bai Qi reveled in anticipation, planning his course of action to plunder the Law Emperor’s treasury.

No wonder he is the Emperor of the Ten Thousand Laws Empire, truly benevolent.

Rustle rustle …

Just then, the branches of the Moonlight Ancient Tree swayed on their own. A pure moonbeam started spreading from the tree’s roots all the way to its crown. Gradually, an illusion of the moon began to solidify.

In comparison to the already solidified Bright Sun, this Moon seemed rather dim and seemed to be overshadowed by the Sun’s brilliance.

However, with the continuous inflow of Moonlight, the Moon started growing solid and gradually rose to the same height as the Bright Sun.

Synchronously, the Eye of Nightmare re-emerged but didn’t attack the surrounding Resentful Souls. Instead, it plunged into the Moon much like a swan returning to its nest.

Suddenly, the previously pure Moon was tainted black by the Eye of Nightmare, with only the vertical pupil in the center emanating soft moonlight. This stark contrast between the eerie black exterior and interior’s gentle moonlight made it look extraordinarily sinister.

“Skill fusion? Is it starting to evolve?”

Feeling the trembling from within the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi immediately made the connection.

Sure enough, under their astonishing gazes, the light of evolution enveloped the Insect Guard.

“Congratulations, Bai Qi. You’ve garnered another formidable Emperor Creature!”

Law Emperor congratulated Bai Qi, who gracefully acknowledged the compliment and sat cross-legged.

As the Insect Grass evolved, the Grassland Secret Realm, which had fused with the Green Dragon Secret Realm, surprisingly began to merge with the Insect Grass’s Nightmare Secret Realm.

Ever since Nicholas gave him the Green Dragon Secret Realm, Bai Qi had been trying to fuse the Insect Grass with it, but all attempts had ended in failure.

Bai Qi had given up, yet to his surprise, the fusion occurred at this moment.

“Was it because the Insect Grass absorbed the Moonlight Ancient Tree and gained plant attribute?”

Watching the gradual fusion of the two secret realms, Bai Qi pondered deeply. Meanwhile, the evolution of the Insect Grass had reached a fever pitch.

The already towering Moonlight Ancient Tree suddenly extended countless vines, sweeping and absorbing all the scattered soul crystals on the ground, making the moonlight it emitted more substantial.

Then, on the crown of the Moonlight Ancient Tree, nine buds slowly grew, blooming gradually and maturing into fruits resembling dragons and insects.

“It actually nurtured brand-new souls on its own?”

Jerry poked his head out from Husky, amazed at the nine fruits before him, an irresistible urge to devour them rising within him.

Such pure soul essences were irresistibly tempting to their Spirit beasts.

“Not only souls but it seems these have birthed consciousness as well.”

Schuck stared intently at the changes in the Insect Grass, with various images flickering in his eyes, calculating the potential evolution of the Insect Grass.

Finally, the nine fruits stopped growing. The nine Dragon Soldier Insect Guards were summoned out of the blue, respectfully kneeling around the Insect Grass. At this moment, the Insect Grass slowly opened its eyes.

Despite seemingly still lost in the dreamland, the Insect Grass’s eyes were somewhat blurred. The nine fruits on its head, however, suddenly detached themselves, flying towards the Dragon Soldier Insect Guards.

“I see, it’s planning to endow the Dragon Soldier Insect Guards with real souls, isn’t it?”

Observing the scene, Schuck deduced the possible outcome. He exchanged glances with Jerry, before they both fell silent.

Could they advance even further if their Digital Souls could be created through similar means?

Elsewhere, Bai Qi also noticed Insect Grass’s actions. Watching the nine fruits merge into the Dragon Soldier Insect Guards, their aura changed abruptly.

It was not an increase in strength, but a fundamental shift in their life essence.

If they had been autonomous puppets before, the nine Dragon Soldier Insect Guards had now become genuine lifeforms.

A lifeform with its own soul!

The Dragon Soldier Insect Guards, now imbued with souls, reflected a glimmer of wisdom in their eyes. Their regards towards the Insect Grass were accompanied by a certain admiration, like offspring towards their parents.

On the Insect Grass’s side, after separating the nine soul fruits, the Moonlight Ancient Tree decreased in size instead of growing larger, gradually shrinking until it was about the size of a dragon horn before it finally stopped.

At the same time, the Bright Sun and the dark moon arrived behind Insect Grass’s head, hanging on either side. As the eyes of the Insect Grass closed, they flickered continuously.

“Closing its eyes for the sun, and opening them for the moon? Is it trying to do the opposite of the Candle Dragon?”

Bai Qi quickly grasped the gist. When the Insect Grass closed their eyes, the glow of the Bright Sun surpassed the dark moon, and Bai Qi could feel a strong force of sweet dreams emanating from the Insect Grass.

On the contrary, when the Insect Grass opened their eyes, the dark moon would replace the Bright Sun and release a starkly different Nightmare Power.

“So it’s basking in the Power of the Great Sun while having sweet dreams and purifying with the moonlight while having nightmares. It seems like it doesn’t plan on letting anyone get proper sleep.”

Upon observing this, Bai Qi could not help but tut. Just as he prepared to ponder on the new abilities that the Insect Grass had learned, he felt an unprecedented tremor in the Beast Control Space. A light spot split from the recently fused secret realms and melded into the Insect Grass.

“Secret Realm Origin?”

The moment Bai Qi recognized this change, he brightened instantly.

Previously, Alpha had managed to forcefully merge with him in the Secret Realm Tower by first absorbing the origin of the Shadow Secret Realm.

He had been considering how to get other Emperor Creatures to speed up their merging, but never thought it would be the Insect Grass who fused first.

After the light spot melded into the Insect Grass, the Bright Sun and the dark moon, which had been competing against each other, suddenly quieted down. A clear boundary appeared between the two, yet they hadn’t been completely separated.

Meanwhile, under Bai Qi’s astonished gaze, another “Insect Grass” emerged from the original Insect Grass. It hovered in the air for a while before merging into the dark moon, while the original Insect Grass flew towards the Bright Sun.

In an instant, all Bai Qi could see were the two celestial bodies of the sun and the moon, nothing else remained.

“Damn, it evolved directly into the sun and the moon? Isn’t this a bit harsh?”

Bai Qi became somewhat distressed at this sight. Although evolving into the sun and the moon was admittedly impressive, moving from a living creature to such abstract entities was a bit hard for Bai Qi to accept.

Fortunately, before Bai Qi had to worry for too long, the apparition of a giant dragon, unmistakably the Insect Grass, reappeared from within the sun and moon.

When the apparition solidified, the Evolution Light also disappeared simultaneously.

The Insect Grass had successfully evolved.
