Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 722 Azure Dream Dragon

"Epsilon, you've successfully evolved?"

Seeing the strange phenomenon disappear, Bai Qi finally couldn't help but ask, and Cordyceps slowly opened its eyes.

Those were a pair of seven-colored eyes. Just by looking into them, Bai Qi felt as if he were about to fall asleep.

As the cordyceps opened its eyes, the sun and moon, which had previously disappeared, reappeared.

However, compared to before, the sun and moon have undergone new changes.

First was the Azure Sun, which, like the Black Moon, now had a vertical pupil through which dazzling golden sunlight radiated.

Meanwhile, Black Moon's body remained black, but the moonlight in her vertical pupils was noticeably clearer.

From a distance, the sun and moon appear to be the eyes of the cordyceps, watching over everything around them.

"It seems that the power of the moon has been successfully integrated."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and then began to examine the appearance of the cordyceps.

Compared to before, Cordyceps' body has grown a bit larger, and the Bug and Dragon type tissues on its body have become much more balanced.

Furthermore, atop the cordyceps' head, there is a pair of dragon horns made entirely of plants, with glimpses of moonlight visible above them.

Needless to say, this was naturally transformed from the Moonlight Ancient Tree.

"Thank goodness, I won't have to fight with a tree under my nose anymore."

Seeing this, Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw that Cordyceps had the same expression, and the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.

Then, Bai Qi began to examine the specific properties of the cordyceps.

……

Bai Qi: "..."

Awoo awoo!

(This dog feels like the later evolutions are more cost-effective; isn't Epsilon's skill a bit too much?)

Beta immediately peered into Bai Qi's memories and was astonished by the properties of the cordyceps.

Crackling.

(Two immortal techniques and one law technique; they are indeed very powerful.)

Alpha, known for its strong performance, was the first to share its opinion.

Click-clack.

(Gamma suddenly felt ashamed; he hadn't even mastered any law-based techniques.)

Gamma lowered his head in shame. As the team's main contributor to the number of skills, his skill quality had fallen behind.

Snoring.

(If Gamma is ashamed, then so am I... But may I ask, what is a Law Technique?)

Jetta looked at the group with a blank expression, not understanding what they were discussing.

Bubbling.

(To comprehend the laws of techniques, one will likely need to rely on inheritance or secret realms.)

Delta quickly analyzed the most likely outcome, and the absurd clown nodded, saying, "Hehehe... To comprehend a law technique, one basically needs to rely on the source of the law, and extracting it from the secret realm is indeed the simplest method."

After listening to the discussion of the pet beasts, Bai Qi nodded slightly, looked at them solemnly, and said, "From today onwards, those who haven't comprehended the Law Techniques should go back and study their own secret realms carefully, and strive to merge with the origin as soon as possible, which will make it easier for them to advance to the Legendary level in the future."

As he spoke, Bai Qi paused, looked at the only little guy in the group who hadn't yet advanced to Emperor, Jeta, and said, "As for Jeta, don't rush, evolve to Emperor first."

Snore snore~

(I get it now~)

Hearing that Bai Qi hadn't pressured her, Jetta immediately put the matter out of her mind and stopped thinking about it.

Bai Qi, on the other hand, focused his mind again and began to examine the cordyceps' new skills.

[Skill Name]: Eye of the Azure Sun

[Skill Level]: Immortal

[Skill Introduction]: When I enter a dream, the world will be burned by the great sun.

Note: When the Azure Dream Dragon falls asleep, it will pull any creature within the Azure Sun's gaze into a beautiful dream, and its body will be burned by the great sun. If it cannot leave in time, the creature will be trapped in the dream forever.

……

"Goodness, forcibly entering a dream and destroying evidence at the same time, this skill is truly domineering!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This skill possessed both control and area-of-effect (AOE) effects, making it practically a bug.

After seeing the Eyes of the Azure Sun, Bai Qi became even more curious about the Eyes of the Mysterious Moon, and immediately looked to the other side.

[Skill Name]: Eyes of the Crescent Moon

[Skill Level]: Immortal

[Skill Introduction]: When I awaken, the world will be purified by the full moon.

Note: When the Azure Dragon awakens, it will pull all creatures within the range of the Moon's Eyes into a nightmare, but their consciousness will remain absolutely clear under the moonlight until their consciousness falls into permanent tranquility.

"What is this? First fear, then forced calm? Are you trying to turn someone into a vegetable? No, wait, a plant soul?"

Bai Qi rubbed his chin, unable to grasp the effect for a moment.

"Epsilon, try out your Crescent Moon Eyes."

"Yes, leader."

Cordyceps nodded slightly, and its previously half-closed eyes suddenly opened. The sun and moon that had been hanging on either side of Cordyceps began to rotate, with the sun below and the crescent moon above.

Then, a black light was released from Xuan Yue's eyes, enveloping all the vengeful spirits around, and the mournful screams once again echoed throughout the secret realm.

But soon, as the vengeful spirits were illuminated by the moonlight, their screams ceased. The spirits that had been struggling desperately seemed to have lost consciousness and drifted silently toward the cordyceps.

When the vengeful spirit arrived in front of the cordyceps, it had already transformed into the purest form of soul, without any resentment, just hanging there blankly, without any emotion.

"Wow, it really is a plant spirit!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but cry out in alarm. The simultaneous impact of extreme fear and absolute calm would be overwhelming for most people.

"But Epsilon, if you do this, won't you be able to purify your own people? And the Eye of the Azure Sun seems to be very aggressive."

Bai Qi asked.

"Don't worry, Chief, I can control the power."

Cordyceps grinned, and the vertical pupil in the Moon's Eye widened slightly. Pure moonlight poured down, shining on Bai Qi and the others. Bai Qi immediately felt his soul lighten, and the depression he had felt from being chased by Deathwing instantly dissipated.

"Not bad, not bad, as expected of an immortal-level skill."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the third skill.

"What is this law of illusion and reality? It seems to be a fusion of dream eaters and dream weavers?"

"Not entirely. Those two skills were absorbed by the Eye of the Azure Sun and the Profound Moon. The Law of Illusion and Reality is a new skill born from these two skills."

Cordyceps shook his head, and with a thought, the Eye of the Azure Sun and the Eye of the Mysterious Moon appeared simultaneously. Under the joint radiance of the sun and moon, Bai Qi suddenly felt that the surroundings had become ethereal and indistinct.

"This feeling? Are we in a dream? No, the sensations around us aren't a dream."

Shuke quickly analyzed the surrounding situation but could not accurately determine his own situation. Alpha, on the other hand, went even further, slashing out with his sword and creating a crack in the ground beneath his feet.

But the crack quickly healed, as if Alpha had just broken an illusion.

Immediately afterwards, countless Bai Qi appeared around, then quickly transformed into other people's forms, seemingly real yet illusory, making it impossible to see clearly.

"So that's how it is. The law of illusion and reality allows for arbitrary transformation between dreams and reality?"

Bai Qi finally saw through the deception. Looking at the clone in front of him that was identical to himself, he asked the Cordyceps, "Epsilon, do these phantoms possess combat capabilities?"

"If I want them to be, whether they are dreams or reality, they are real."

Cordyceps did not directly answer Bai Qi's question, but the meaning behind it was self-evident.

[Skill Name]: The Law of Illusion and Reality

[Skill Level]: Law Skill

[Skill Introduction]: The skill is a mix of reality and illusion, seemingly real yet unreal.

Note: After mastering the law of illusion and reality, one can transform dreams and reality back and forth, making one elusive.

……

"The Eyes of the Azure Sun, the Eyes of the Mysterious Moon, combined with the Laws of Illusion and Reality, Epsilon, your enemies will probably have quite a headache."

Bai Qi grinned. No wonder the Cordyceps evolved directly from a High-level Monarch to a High-level Emperor. With such a strong improvement, Bai Qi found it hard to believe that it didn't reach the High-level Emperor level.

However, this is also good. Cordyceps comprehended the law of illusion and reality, and Bai Qi also clearly felt that his spirit and body received great feedback.

Bai Qi even felt that he could easily see some things that he wouldn't normally notice.

For example, the energy flow within these vengeful spirits...

"Wow, could this be the talent of a Dharma Emperor? Comprehending the laws can have this effect?"

Bai Qi rubbed his eyes. Although they weren't very clear, he did see some special lines on the vengeful spirit.

"Little ones, hurry up and comprehend the laws! This beast tamer is about to wreak havoc!"

Thinking that he still had five pet beasts that had not yet comprehended the Law Techniques, Bai Qi suddenly felt a surge of anticipation. He was about to say something pretentious when he suddenly remembered that the Law Emperor was beside him, so he had to suppress the impulse.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've forgotten about you in this evolution... Your Majesty?"

Bai Qi looked at the Dharma Emperor, only to find that the Dharma Emperor had turned his back to them at some point, and a wall of runes had appeared behind him, separating them.

"Was this a deliberate attempt to avoid the evolution of cordyceps?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi understood and scratched his head.

He knew very well that he wouldn't stay here for long, so Bai Qi didn't try to avoid suspicion at all. He just didn't expect the Emperor to be so particular.

"Hmm? Bai Qi, you've completed your evolution?"

After a moment, the Emperor finally turned his head, looked at the cordyceps that had undergone a complete transformation, and smiled.

"Congratulations! Your pet has successfully evolved. Judging from this, it's probably not far from becoming a legend."

The Dharma Emperor immediately noticed the tremendous changes that had occurred on the Cordyceps. He then pointed to a teleportation rune not far away and said, "Perfect timing. I'll take advantage of the impact of your pet's evolution to break the teleportation array as well. Let's go to the next level now."

"Forcefully breaking through the secret realm's teleportation array? I want to learn that too!"
