Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 846: 841 Chapter 846: 841 Bai Qi’s expression darkened, while the Tomb Guardian continued, “The Death Round Table somehow directly appeared within the Great Sun Secret Realm, breaking the seals inside and releasing the Black Mist Serpent.”

“Although I attempted to stop it, the Black Mist Serpent still devastated the Yixiu family’s residence. If their goal hadn’t been something other than us, you probably wouldn’t be seeing me now.”

After hearing this, Bai Qi fell silent. Indeed, the Black Mist Serpent, as one of the Death Avatars, was not something ordinary mythical creatures could withstand.

“Regardless, I should still go in and take a look. There might be unexpected discoveries.”

Bai Qi looked at the obelisk. Although prospects seemed slim, considering that Ao Kong and the Elemental Spirit could be resurrected even after dying in such a state, and the Sun Beetle was not weak either, there might be a chance.

“No problem, but be careful. The remnants of the Power of Death still linger in there… However, I guess they probably won’t harm you,” the Tomb Guardian said with a faint smile. The Death Sword Monarch Alpha was famous for wielding the Power of Death; now that Alpha had ascended to legend, there was no reason he couldn’t deal with these remnants of the Power of Death.

“Understood, I’ll be cautious.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, placed his hand on the obelisk, and then disappeared from sight.

“I hope you can bring us light…”

After Bai Qi left, the Tomb Guardian’s face showed a hint of fatigue. He sat cross-legged in front of the obelisk, waiting quietly.

…

Temple.

Passing through the obelisk, it was still that same temple.

Just like the obelisk, this place had also sustained significant damage. The originally solemn hall was pitted and pocked everywhere, and within it, one could faintly see the flow of the Power of Death.

The only thing that remained relatively intact was the gold block at the top of the temple.

“Alpha, clean up this place.”

Bai Qi looked around and found no sign of life. Alpha, with a light flick of the Reincarnation Sword, devoured all the Power of Death.

Ah woo, ah woo…

(There’s no presence of souls here, it seems that big dog is truly dead…)
Beta sniffed carefully around the area, her vertical pupil scanning every corner, but still found nothing.

“It seems our hopes are indeed slim…”

Bai Qi sighed. The Sun Beetle and Anubis were clearly together, even the secret realms were layered one within another, and since there was no sign of Anubis on the outer layer, the chances for the Sun Beetle inside were probably really slim.

“Let’s go inside and take a look. Even if the Sun Beetle can’t be found, maybe we’ll discover some useful clues.”

Bai Qi limbered up and leaped, reaching the golden block overhead.

Bai Qi hadn’t felt it before, but since the battle between Bai Heguang and Alpha, Bai Qi had also begun consciously testing his own limits.

This wasn’t the limit with the absurd mask on, but the limit in his purely human state.

Now it seemed his constitution was not inferior to that of most transcendent creatures.

“The bonus of six legendary creatures is brutal. I always feel like after ascending to Myth, I could tear legends apart with my own hands.”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then infused Spirit Power and activated the golden block.

The light shifted, and Bai Qi and his party once more entered the Great Sun Secret Realm, but the desert that once was could no longer be seen.

A black sky, black earth, everything was black, and the air was filled with the smell of death that made it impossible to stay.

Fortunately, Delta reacted quickly, immediately erecting a Space barrier around them, and Bai Qi felt somewhat better.

Blurp blurp.

(Master, the Space Power of this secret realm has almost vanished.)
Delta sensed carefully and immediately informed Bai Qi.

The Space Attribute’s supremacy over most others lay in its omnipresence, whether in the main world or secret realms; space power was needed to sustain them.

Once the Space Power vanishes, no matter the secret realm’s host or how strong their power, the realm can only head towards destruction.

“Hmm.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly and quickly found the former location of the Tower of Heaven.

“Let’s take a look over there.”

Once Bai Qi determined a direction, Delta teleported him straight there.

Just as Bai Qi had seen when he last left here, the Tower of Heaven was destroyed as the Black Mist Serpent broke free from the seal.

On the other hand, the labyrinth below was relatively intact, and one could still see some remains of creatures.

“It seems the Death Round Table paid a price to release the Black Mist Serpent.”

Bai Qi landed and glanced at a piece of metal fragment among the bones, saying.

“From the surrounding scene, there seems to have been a brief battle here, which was then interrupted due to some unknown reason.”

Schuck quickly scanned the area and swiftly constructed a battle model that clearly showed the Black Mist Serpent seeming to battle certain creatures before abruptly disappearing.

“The Black Mist Serpent definitely didn’t have the ability to leave here on its own volition; it must have been the work of the Death Round Table.”

An image of the Black Mist, a staple travel companion of the Death Round Table, emerged in Bai Qi’s mind, and he felt he had his answer.

“But if they are using this method to take away the Black Fog Serpent, doesn’t that mean that not all Death Avatars are willing to follow their command?”

Bai Qi tried hard to recall, during the great battle, the Black Fog Serpent indeed arrived belatedly and didn’t coordinate with the rhythm of the Death Round Table.

That is to say, the reason Death State hasn’t launched a full assault may also be due to this factor.

“This is indeed an excellent discovery.”

A smile finally appeared on Bai Qi’s face; any news that could strengthen himself and weaken the enemy was good news—the more, the better.

If he could also find traces left by the Sun Beetle, that would be the best case scenario.

With that thought, Bai Qi immediately led his seven pets towards the Tower of Heaven.

Because of the Black Fog Serpent, the Tower of Heaven had been destroyed, and its original traces were no longer visible.

But at the base of the Tower of Heaven, Bai Qi still found a huge pit.

This pit was clearly excavated by a serpentine creature, with scrape marks from scales everywhere; however, what’s miraculous is that the pit seemed to be dug following a certain pattern.

Looking at the trajectory, it faintly corresponded with the labyrinth above.

“So it turns out that both the Tower of Heaven and the labyrinth are part of the seal, and the Sun Beetle’s carapace is the source of power.”

Bai Qi suddenly realized that by allowing the Cordyceps to consume the carapace of the Sun Beetle he had unwittingly interrupted the energy output, enabling the Black Fog Serpent to escape its bonds.

“The pot I’ve stirred, I must also bear the consequences!”

Bai Qi silently vowed in his heart and immediately continued searching along the pit, but to no avail.

“Leader, I suspect that the venerable Sun Beetle may have burnt out.”

The Cordyceps suddenly came out, a touch of sorrow on its face.

From the structure of this seal, the source of power relies entirely on the Sun Beetle, which couldn’t even leave.

Although it’s possible that the Sun Beetle used its shed shell to act as the core of the formation, given the Sun Beetle’s character, it’s hard to associate it with such an irresponsible act.

Bai Qi nodded and, looking around at the dense Power of Death, felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

“Alpha, clear out all the Power of Death in this world for me!”

Crackling sounds.

(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, and the Black and White Double Dragon appeared behind him, forming a rapidly spinning Reincarnation, akin to a whirlpool that quickly gathered the surrounding Power of Death and absorbed it entirely.

Having mastered the Origin of Reincarnation, the Power of Death could no longer harm Alpha unless…

Remembering the black orb that even Gaia managed to bite a few times, Bai Qi’s body involuntarily shivered.

It was not a matter of courage, but the instinctive reaction of a creature when faced with a being of far superior strength.

But that thing had been cast into the main course of the river of time; it shouldn’t come out again, should it?

Bai Qi shook his head to dispel the image of the Death Incarnation from his mind.

By this time, Alpha had almost completely devoured the surrounding Power of Death. However, this space, already on the brink of death, also began to show signs of collapse.

“To think the power that destroyed this secret realm would ironically become the support that sustained this world, how ironic.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but laugh and then, with Delta’s help, left the secret realm.

But just as Bai Qi left the secret realm, he suddenly saw a golden light streak past his eyes.

“Golden light? The sun? It’s the Sun Beetle!”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, ready to command his pets to rescue, but they were already teleported out and were too late.

“Damn, I was too careless.”

Back in the Temple, Bai Qi cursed to himself, ready to re-enter the secret realm, but found that the entrance to the Great Sun Secret Realm, the golden block, had already crumbled into fragments and fallen.

Seeing this, Bai Qi grew even more frustrated; if he had searched a little longer, he might have been able to bring the Sun Beetle out.

Even if the Sun Beetle could not be resurrected, with Ao Kong and the Elemental Spirit present, there might have been a way to bring it back to life.

But now, it was too late for any regrets.

Just then, a beam of sunlight suddenly appeared in the dim Temple, shining on the gold-plated walls around, reflecting a blinding golden light.

“Is this… the Power of the Great Sun?”

Bai Qi’s face lit up with joy as he looked towards the Cordyceps, and upon receiving its confirmation, he immediately cheered.

“Fantastic, I’ve found another Mythical Creature at last!”

“You’re celebrating too soon.”

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind Bai Qi, and Alpha and the other pets instantly went into combat mode.

Only the Husky, or more accurately, Jerry, remained still, simply watching quietly from behind.

Bai Qi turned his head to look and saw a dark gold spirit rise from the mural, slowly taking shape in the golden sunlight.

“Anubis?”
