Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 195 The Real Death

Bai Qi silently made a rough plan for his future Secret Realm Tower, and then turned his attention to this world.

"Teacher, what did you mean when you said the world is dying?"

Bai Heguang pointed to Bai Qi's head and said, "Although the secret realm has become a small world after its transformation, its source is still the Beast Tamer. Although it won't be completely destroyed after the Beast Tamer dies, it has lost the possibility of further advancement."

"At the same time, as time goes by, the fixing function of the Secret Realm Tower will gradually weaken. When the Secret Realm Tower can no longer hold it, this small world will be separated from the main world."

"Without the support of the main world and the beast tamers, this small world will slowly lose its vitality and eventually die."

After hearing Bai Heguang's explanation, Bai Qi finally understood, but quickly countered with a question: "Teacher, you brought us here just to learn about the origin of the secret realm?"

Bai Heguang shook his head and said, "Of course not."

As he spoke, Bai Heguang glanced at the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, which immediately understood and flew away into the depths of the forest with a whooshing cry.

Not long after, Bai Qi heard the sound of trees falling, and then a group of grayish-white creatures appeared in front of him.

"Go, summon your master pet and defeat these creatures."

Bai Heguang took a step back, clearly not intending to get involved in the fight.

It's rare to hear Bai Heguang say so much at once, and now he's suddenly starting to practice?

Bai Qi's gaze swept over the gray-white ferocious beasts charging towards them. These beasts varied in level, but the highest was only third rank, clearly specially selected by the Nine Netherworld Sparrow.

These ferocious beasts, like this world, gave him a feeling of being devoid of life, somewhat like the undead, yet somehow different.

Roar!

Just as Bai Qi was pondering, the ferocious beasts arrived in front of him. Without hesitation, Bai Qi summoned Alpha.

Crackling!

(Boss, it's dangerous here! What are you doing here?!)

Alpha immediately sensed the danger and, upon seeing the ferocious beasts rushing towards them, instantly went into battle mode. Dozens of ice crystal barriers formed in an instant, blocking the beasts' path.

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

However, there were simply too many of these ferocious beasts, and with the Nine Netherworld Birds driving them from behind, they charged with all their might, and the ice crystal barrier shattered after only a brief moment.

But this was exactly what Alpha wanted. The ice crystals turned into dust and swirled around the ferocious beasts, obscuring their vision and sense of smell. Before they could shake off the effects of the ice mist, dozens of sword blades behind Alpha’s head whistled and plunged into the ice mist, followed by the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh.

These blades were all condensed by Alpha in advance and were all imbued with runes, making them completely different from the blades that were temporarily generated when Blade Storm was unleashed.

Alpha, however, showed no excitement whatsoever. Instead, it actively dispelled the ice mist, revealing the true forms of those ferocious beasts.

Alpha's blades had already inflicted considerable damage on them, with some of the weaker ones even being torn to pieces.

Even so, not a drop of blood flowed from these ferocious beasts. What's even more outrageous is that no matter how much damage they suffered, these beasts continued to charge at Alpha, as if Alpha had only struck some models.

Holy crap, have they all turned into zombies?

No, it seems a little different.

Bai Qi's eyes narrowed slightly as he examined these strange creatures that seemed neither alive nor dead, and said, "Alpha, use Shadow Lotus."

Alpha nodded, and countless white bones, entwined with shadow power, emerged from the ground, enveloping the ferocious beasts like lotus flowers.

Before the Shadow Lotus could gather, the ferocious beasts launched their attacks.

Fireballs, rock spikes, wind blades...

Skills of various attributes were released from these dying creatures, directly shattering the Shadow Lotus. One of the ferocious beasts even released a holy light skill to restore some of the injured beasts.

Capable of unleashing multiple elemental attacks and immune to holy light, these things are definitely not undead!

"Dad, isn't it too difficult for Bai Qi to face so many dead beasts alone?"

Bai Qiucha was clearly not seeing these strange and ferocious beasts for the first time, and asked with some concern.

"It's alright, Bai Qi hasn't gotten serious yet. These ferocious beasts are nothing to fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha launched a new offensive, spewing out a breath of decay that enveloped all the ferocious beasts. When the breath of decay dissipated, the beasts completely lost their vitality and collapsed to the ground.

"Has the power of death been integrated into the skill?"

Bai Heguang raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized that this was the effect of the power of death. He was also somewhat surprised that Bai Qi had already begun to apply the power of death to actual combat.

With such strong comprehension ability, Gusu City is destined to rise.

However, Bai Heguang's test for Bai Qi was not over. After all the third-tier and lower-tier ferocious beasts were completely killed, a fourth-tier creature resembling a giant ape was driven over by the Nine Netherworld Sparrow.

"Alpha, take the initiative and see if you can capture it alive."

Crackling.

(I see.)

Alpha nodded, gripping both the Withering Sword and the Gravity Sword in his hands, and charged towards the giant ape.

In terms of destruction, the Withering Sword is naturally the strongest, but in terms of control, the Gravity Sword is clearly superior.

However, being a fourth-tier creature, Alpha did not overestimate its abilities and still chose to fight with dual swords.

Seeing that even this tiny insect, Alpha, dared to bully him, the giant ape immediately transferred its resentment towards the Nine Netherworld Sparrow to Alpha. It pulled on its spine and ripped out a giant white bone club, smashing it towards Alpha.

The giant ape's blow was powerful and fast, but before it could land, Alpha had already reached its opponent and swung its twin swords in a series of slashes.

Roar!

The awakened-level decay power caused irreparable damage to the giant ape, while the gravity sword continuously increased the gravity on the giant ape's body. In just a short moment, this fourth-tier giant ape was easily suppressed in place by Alpha.

So weak!

Too weak to be worth training.

Seeing Alpha easily defeat the enemy, Bai Qi became increasingly puzzled, so he had Alpha walk onto the giant ape to study it.

Crackling.

(Boss, this guy seems to have some death power, but it's very weak.)

Alpha quickly relayed its findings back, even actively drawing out that wisp of death energy.

Without the support of the power of death, the giant ape immediately began to suffer, and then aged, died, and decayed at a visible speed.

"this……"

Seeing the giant ape's fate after escaping the power of death, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, and at the same time seemed to understand why Bai Heguang had brought him here.

Sure enough, after seeing that Bai Qi had discovered the aftereffects of the power of death, Bai Heguang finally spoke up, saying, "These pets have become like this, neither alive nor dead, because they absorbed the power of death of this world. Although they can obtain an immortal body and completely retain their original state, once they lose the power of death, they will become like this."

As expected, how could such an overpowered skill as the Power of Death not have any side effects?

However, Alpha's death power is derived from evolutionary fusion, so it shouldn't be absorbed so easily, right?

"Your pet has a high compatibility with the power of death, so there shouldn't be any problems with the fusion at the moment. But if one day you are pushed to your limit and the power of death is completely exhausted, not only your pet but also you will be affected."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Teacher, the power of death and the power of decay are very similar; they should be from the same source. Why do you attach so much importance to this, Teacher?"

This problem had been troubling him for a long time. Both the power of death and the power of decay deprived people of life, but the difference seemed to lie only in speed. Other powers of decay could also do the same.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's question, Bai Heguang's face immediately showed an expression of "I knew it," and he said, "I was also surprised that you were able to awaken the power of decay. Perhaps this is destined to let you master the power of death."

Bai Heguang beckoned to the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, which immediately shrunk to the size of an ordinary sparrow and landed on Bai Heguang's shoulder.

"Among the pet systems announced by the Federation, the Undead type is the most special, not for any other reason than that the Undead type reappears in the world as the dead."

"But in a sense, the undead creatures did not die; they were simply brought back to life by the power of shadow."

Is that another way to explain it?

Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang with some surprise, clearly curious about Bai Heguang's novel explanation.

However, judging from what Bai and Guang said, it seems that the undead are not truly dead yet; it is only when the power of death has appeared that they are.

"The power of death truly robs a pet of its life force, including its physical body, soul, and even consciousness."

Bai Heguang looked at the giant ape whose bones were beginning to crumble and said, "From a certain perspective, these dead beasts are actually already dead. What sustains their activity is just a wisp of death power within their bodies."

"So, becoming an undead isn't considered death, but being corrupted by the power of death is?"

Bai Qi pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.

Bai Heguang nodded and said, "So, your mission this time is to completely transform the power of death into your pet's own ability. Only in this way can you avoid the possibility of the power of death being completely annihilated after leaving your body."

Bai Qi understood immediately. Now that the excess death power was gathered in the Withering Sword, if he wanted to completely transform it into Alpha's ability, wouldn't he have to awaken the Breath of Wither?

Is it really possible to awaken a super skill?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly remembered the ancient creature that Bai Heguang had mentioned before.

Alpha's death power is derived from his blood, so doesn't that mean it already possessed the power of death?
