Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 777: Chapter 772: The Dark Age Chapter 777: Chapter 772: The Dark Age Bai Qi stared in the direction where the tombstone disappeared for a long time, not coming back to his senses until Zhuge Chen called out.

“Bai Qi, what should we do now?”

Bai Qi paused, his gaze trailing down to the gradually freezing sea below, and said, “First, let’s check on the state of the world-ending sea-beast, and consider other matters afterwards.”

Not that he didn’t believe in the Dragon Emperor’s abilities, but the world-ending sea-beast had a considerable relation with the Death Round Table’s plans. Having more knowledge about it would prove helpful for the future.

However, just as Bai Qi was preparing to start, the soulless divine dragon remains around them suddenly started moving and continuously jumped into the chilling sea.

As they submerged into the icy current, the bodies of these dragons began to frost over, gradually turning into massive icicles stretching to the ocean floor.

Moreover, after the dragon icicles took shape, countless slender icicles appeared one by one, like a forest, occupying a large area of the sea.

“So that’s how the Death Ice Forest was made… from the body of the divine dragons?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi understood. Witnessing the expanding Death Ice Forest, he had to abandon his exploratory ambitions.

The Soul of the Dragon God used itself as a guide, Dragon Spirits as fuel, and a dragon body as a foundation to seal the Death Avatar, so who knew whether it still held its sanity.

If it were to mark him as a target and sealed him as well, that would result in a huge loss.

“But the soul of the Dragon God… Could it be the soul of a mythical creature?”

Thinking about the powerful force displayed by the Soul of the Dragon God, the more Bai Qi thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and his curiosity was sparked.

Mythical creatures, extinct even before the appearance of Original Beasts, yet the Dragon Emperor was still able to locate a mythical level dragon soul. Did this mean that perhaps other mythical souls still existed?

If so, could they find other mythical souls to fight against the Death Avatar?

Pondering this boosted Bai Qi’s spirits.

He decided to include finding mythical spirits as an objective. Just having even one mythical spirit on his side would be of tremendous help!

“Let’s head to the South Sea first to check the situation, to confirm if there are indeed seven tombstones. Along the way, we can also drop by the Dark Emperor Island.”

Bai Qi made a decision after a moment of consideration, and Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha didn’t object. They each mounted Delta and headed towards the South Sea.

They had not traveled far when Bai Qi heard a familiar dragon roar overhead.

“The Wing of Death? Is it still around?”

Looking up, Bai Qi saw the River of Time had reappeared, and the Wing of Death was struggling to break free from it.

“How damn persistent!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi burned with rage, disregarding the disparity between them, he once again summoned his beast companions and forcefully entered the fusion state.

Not only that, but Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen also summoned their own beasts, each unleashing their strongest attacks!

Immediately, energies of sword, knife, and concentrated power surged and flew toward the Wing of Death. The Wing of Death retaliated with a Dragon’s Breath, which was countered by the assaults and reduced to blood and flesh.

“Has the Wing of Death become weaker?”

Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes shone brightly. He quickly gave his beasts new orders. The Giant Swordsman seemed to understand and shook his long sword, transforming it from black to silver-grey.

Then, with a dragon’s hum, a new surge of sword energy roared out, targeting the Wing of Death.

This sword energy did not cause harm to the Wing of Death, but it drove it toward the River of Time. As it approached the River of Time, the sword’s energy grew larger.

Delta, the Blade of Time!

Facing the attack form Bai Qi’s beasts, the Wing of Death was no longer able to resist and was forcefully pushed into the River of Time, disappearing from sight.

“The Dragon Emperor truly helped us a lot.”

Bai Qi sighed, his face full of emotion. Even tough the current Wing of Death was still powerful, it no longer had the previous’s overwhelming might.

At the very least, Bai Qi now had the power to fight back.

“Though we need to increase our power as soon as possible, even though the Wing of Death became weaker, the Death Avatar…”

Bai Qiucha looked at the location where the Wing of Death disappeared, with not a shred of relaxation on her face.

Having paid such a heavy price, yet can only seal it; what horror would it bring if all the Death Avatars were collected and returned to the original body one day?

Would humans still posses such formidable power to deal with it?

“You’re right, our current problem is how to deal with the Death Avatar.”

Bai Qi nodded. From the recent combat, to deal with the Death Avatar, they must comprehend the laws corresponding to the special attributes to a certain extent.

And right now they were still far from it.

“Forget it, let’s go to the South Sea first, then think about ways to enhance our powers.”

Bai Qi patted the Giant Swordsman, ready to continue on their journey. But his vision suddenly blurred. The once azure sky was now filled with flying sand.

A sandstorm?

No, it’s the River of Time!

Seeing the increasingly blurry world, Bai Qi quickly understood what was happening. He wanted to alert Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen, but a sharp pain attacked his mind and he fell into a deep slumber.

…

“Oh, my head hurts!”

Through a foggy haze, Bai Qi opened his eyes only to be struck by a splitting headache.

He had traveled through time so many times, but he had never felt unusual. Why was this time so unbearable?

“But this time, it seems to be an active appearance of the river of time?”

Bai Qi tried hard to recall the memories at that moment, but the more he tried, the more intense his headache became. He had to stop, looking around, and saw Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen lying next to him, still unconsciously.

“Gamma, check our bodies.”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately summoned all his pets out. Gamma obediently conveyed energy to the three of them, and Bai Qi started to feel a little relief from his headache.

“Where are we?”

Soon, Bai Qiucha was the first to wake up, looking around somewhat confusedly. Soon after, Zhuge Chen also slowly regained consciousness.

“I’m not quite sure yet, but from the look of it, we seem to have traveled through time again.”

Bai Qi shook his head and said.

“Traveled through time again?”

Bai Qiucha looked around and saw the extremely crude and low houses surrounding them. It didn’t take long for him to understand what that meant.

“Judging by the style of these buildings, it seems to be …”

Bai Qiucha tried hard to recall the books he had read, but before he could remember, he heard a series of beast roars coming from the distance.

“Ferocious Beasts?”

The three of them exchanged a glance and immediately rushed to a higher place.

They saw a swarm of ferocious beasts rapidly rushing from the distance toward the town. The low adobe wall couldn’t block them at all and was directly crashed into powder.

Without the protection of the city wall, the townspeople rushed into their houses, locking their doors and windows tightly, praying that the ferocious beasts would ignore them.

Awuh Awuh!

(Ferocious Beasts? Watch how I deal with them!)

Beta perked up at the sight and was about to rush out. The other pets were eager to join in too.

They didn’t play much of a role in the previous fights against the World-ending Sea-beast and the Wing of Death. They were fairly bored and now had the chance to vent their frustration. Of course, they couldn’t miss that opportunity.

“No need to make a move, someone is coming.”

Just then, Jerry suddenly spoke, stopping Beta, while Schuck transmitted the image from a distance directly.

Outside the town, a group of fully-armed knights leading hundreds of pets were charging toward the town. Although they were far fewer in number than the ferocious beasts, their combat power significantly outstripped.

“Judging by the pattern on their armor, it should be a product of the Dynasty of Creation.”

Schuck zoomed in on the symbols on the soldiers’ armor and quickly gave an answer.

“The Dynasty of Creation? That means we are now in the Dark Emperor Period?”

Bai Qi’s eyebrows raised. Even though this time jump was a bit abrupt, it was still progressing forward.

It looked like they might really get to meet the Emperor?

Bai Qi fell into contemplation. Meanwhile, down below, those soldiers had already driven off the ferocious beasts, and the townspeople started to poke their heads out from their houses. Seeing the symbols on the soldiers’ armor, they cheered.

“They say the Dark Emperor Period was the darkest age in human history, but it seems not that bad now?”

Seeing that the townspeople were unharmed, Zhuge Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Qiucha shook his head and said, “But the defense of this town is too weak, not even a Beast Master. If they hadn’t met this troop, or us, they might have…”

Bai Qiucha stopped speaking mid-sentence, and Zhuge Chen’s face became serious.

“This troop was clearly well-prepared. Their intelligence agency should be good. As for those ferocious beasts…”

Bai Qi gazed at the retreating beasts and was about to let Alpha deal with them completely when Jerry suddenly linked his vision with Bai Qi’s.

“This is?…”

Seeing everything in front of him, Bai Qi’s face suddenly darkened, and the records of the Dark Emperor Period he remembered surfaced and flashed through his mind.

“Bai Qi, what’s wrong?”

Zhuge Chen noticed something unusual about Bai Qi and immediately asked.

“Nothing, I was just wondering where those ferocious beasts came from.”

Bai Qi shook his head, looking at the troop below that had begun to gather the villagers, he continued,

“Let’s go. We will disguise ourselves as local residents and sneak in to understand the situation here.”

With that, Bai Qi swiftly put on the clothes Schuck had hastily made, hunched his body and walked towards the troop.

Although Zhuge Chen and Bai Qiucha were confused, they changed their clothes and followed Bai Qi.

“This town has been discovered by the ferocious beasts and can no longer be inhabited. All of you must quickly pack up your things and follow us to the new settlement.”

“Thank you, sirs! Thank you, sirs!”

Hearing the soldiers’ shouts, the townspeople showed joyful smiles on their faces. They quickly packed up their things and followed the troops, leaving the ruined town behind.

Seeing the joyous smiles on the faces of the townspeople around him, images of what Jerry had shown him earlier flashed through Bai Qi’s mind. His eyes suddenly became remarkably profound.

The Dynasty of Creation, the darkest period in human history…
