Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 842 Farewell to Anubis

Bai Qi's face darkened, while the Tomb Guardian continued, "The Death Round Table somehow appeared directly within the Great Sun Secret Realm, breaking the seal and releasing the Black Mist Serpent."

"Although I tried to stop them, the Black Mist Serpent still managed to wreak havoc on the Ishu family's territory. If their target hadn't been someone other than us, you probably wouldn't be seeing me now."

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

"Regardless, I'll go in and take a look first; perhaps I'll find something unexpected."

Bai Qi looked at the obelisk. Although the chances were slim, considering that Ao Kong and the Elemental Spirit could be resurrected even after dying like that, and that the Sun Wheel Beetle was also quite powerful, there might still be a chance.

"No problem, but you need to be careful, there is still some death energy left inside... but this death energy probably won't be able to harm you."

The tomb guardian smiled faintly. Back then, Alpha's Death Sword Lord was famous for using the power of death. Now that Alpha has advanced to the legendary level, there's no reason why he can't deal with this power of death.

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, walked to the obelisk and placed his hand on it, then disappeared completely.

"I hope you can bring us light..."

After Bai Qi left, the tomb guardian looked tired and sat cross-legged in front of the obelisk, waiting quietly.

……

Temple.

Passing through the obelisk, you still find the same temple.

Like the obelisk, this place was also quite damaged. The once solemn and majestic hall was full of pits and craters, and the power of death could be faintly seen flowing through them.

The only thing that is still relatively intact is the golden block at the top of the temple.

"Alpha, take care of this."

Bai Qi looked around but couldn't find any signs of life. Alpha, on the other hand, simply swung the Sword of Reincarnation, devouring all the power of death.

Awoo awoo...

(There is no trace of soul here; that big dog must really be dead...)

Beta sniffed around carefully, his vertical pupils scanning every corner, but he still couldn't find anything.

"It seems the hope is truly slim..."

Bai Qi sighed. The Sun Wheel Beetle and Anubis were clearly together, and even their secret realms were nested within each other. Since Anubis on the outer layer had stopped making a move, the Sun Wheel Beetle inside was probably in real trouble.

"Forget it, let's go inside and take a look. Even if we can't find the Sun Wheel Beetle, we might find some useful clues."

Bai Qi stretched his body, then leaped up and touched the golden cube above his head.

Bai Qi hadn't felt it before, but ever since the battle between Bai Heguang and Alpha, Bai Qi has consciously started to push his limits.

This is not the limit after putting on the mask of absurdity, but the limit in the pure human state.

Now it seems that his physique is no less than that of most extraordinary beings.

"The bonus from six legendary creatures is just brutal. I feel like I could tear a legendary creature apart with my bare hands after I become a mythical one."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then channeled his mental energy to activate the golden cube.

As the light shifted, Bai Qi and his group returned to the Great Sun Secret Realm, but the desolate desert they once knew was nowhere to be seen.

The sky was black, the earth was black, everything was black, and the pervasive smell of death made it impossible for anyone to stay there.

Fortunately, Delta reacted quickly, erecting a spatial barrier around them, which made Bai Qi feel a little better.

Bubbling.

(Master, the spatial power of this secret realm has almost completely disappeared.)

Delta sensed it carefully and immediately informed Bai Qi.

The reason why the spacetime attribute surpasses most attributes is precisely because of its omnipresence. Whether it is the main world or the secret realm, both require the existence of spatial power to support them.

Once the power of space disappears, no matter what attribute the master of the secret realm is or how strong their power is, the secret realm can only face destruction.

"Um."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and quickly located the spot where Tongtian had been.

"Let's go take a look over there."

Once Bai Qi determined the direction, Delta teleported him directly there.

Just as Bai Qi saw when he left, the Tower of Babel was destroyed the moment the Black Mist Serpent broke free of its seal.

On the contrary, the maze below is relatively well preserved, and you can still vaguely see the remains of some creatures.

"It seems the Death Round Table paid a price for releasing the Black Mist Serpent."

Bai Qi landed, glanced at a metal fragment among the bones, and said.

"Judging from the surrounding environment, a brief battle took place here, which was then interrupted for some unknown reason."

Shuke quickly scanned the surrounding area and soon set up a battle model. On it, the black mist serpent seemed to be fighting some creature, but then it suddenly disappeared.

"The Black Mist Serpent definitely doesn't have the ability to leave this place on its own; it must be the work of the Death Round Table."

The black mist that the Death Round Table always carried when traveling flashed through Bai Qi's mind, and he already had the answer.

"But since they're using this method to take away the Black Mist Serpent, it means that not all the death clones are willing to obey their commands?"

Bai Qi tried hard to recall, and it was true that the Black Mist Serpent arrived late during the final battle and did not act in accordance with the rhythm of the Death Round Table.

In other words, the fact that the Kingdom of Death has not launched a full-scale offensive so far may be partly due to this reason.

"This is really a good discovery."

Bai Qi finally smiled. Any news that could strengthen himself or weaken the enemy was good news, and the more the better.

It would be best if we could find traces of sun beetles here.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately led his seven pets and ran towards the Tower of Babel.

Because of the Black Mist Serpent, the Tower of Babel was completely destroyed, and no trace of it can be seen anymore.

However, at the bottom of the Tower of Babel, Bai Qi still discovered a huge pit.

The pit was clearly dug by a snake, with traces of scales scraping everywhere. But what's amazing is that the pit seems to have been dug according to some kind of pattern.

Looking at the trajectory, it subtly echoes the maze above.

"I see. The Tower of Babel and the labyrinth are both part of the seal, and the shell of the Sun Wheel Beetle is the source of its power."

Bai Qi suddenly realized that when he had the cordyceps swallow the shell of the sun beetle, it interrupted the energy output, allowing the black mist serpent to escape.

"Since I made this mess, I have to take responsibility for it!"

Bai Qi silently vowed to himself and immediately continued searching along the pit, but found nothing.

"Chief, I suspect that Senior Sun Wheel may be nearing the end of his life."

The cordyceps suddenly emerged, a look of sadness on its face.

Judging from the structure of this seal, its power comes entirely from the Sun Wheel Beetle, and it cannot even leave.

While it's possible that the sun beetle used its shed shell as the core of the formation, considering the sun beetle's personality, such irresponsible behavior is hard to connect with.

Bai Qi nodded, looking at the dense death energy around him, and felt a sudden, inexplicable displeasure.

"Alpha, wipe away all the power of death from this world!"

Crackling.

(Um.)

Alpha nodded, and the black and white dragons appeared behind him, forming a vortex that rapidly gathered the surrounding death energy and absorbed it all.

Having grasped the essence of reincarnation, the power of death can no longer harm Alpha, unless...

The thought of that black sphere that even Gaia could bite into made Bai Qi's body tremble involuntarily.

This has nothing to do with courage; it's simply the instinct that a living being has when faced with an existence far stronger than itself.

But that thing was thrown into the main channel of the river of time, so it probably won't come out again, right?

Bai Qi shook his head, banishing the image of the true form of death from his mind.

At this point, Alpha had essentially absorbed all the surrounding death energy, but at the same time, this space, which was already on the verge of death, began to show signs of collapse.

"How ironic that the power that destroyed this secret realm ultimately became the very thing that allowed this world to survive."

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

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

"Golden light? The sun? It's a sun beetle!"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he was about to have his pet rescue them, but by then they had already been teleported away and it was too late.

"Damn it, I was too careless."

Back at the temple, Bai Qi cursed inwardly and was about to return to the secret realm when he discovered that the entrance to the Great Sun Secret Realm, the golden cube, had already fallen in pieces.

Seeing this, Bai Qi became even more annoyed. If he had searched a little longer, he might have been able to bring out the Sun Wheel Beetle.

Even if the Sun Wheel Beetle cannot be resurrected, with Ao Kong and the Elemental Spirit present, there might be a way to revive it.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

But just then, a ray of sunlight suddenly appeared in the dim temple, shining on the surrounding gilded walls and reflecting a dazzling golden light.

"This is... the power of the Great Sun?"

Bai Qi looked at the cordyceps with a face full of surprise, and cheered immediately after receiving the cordyceps' affirmation.

"Great! We've finally found another mythical creature!"

"You're celebrating too soon."

Just then, a cold voice came from behind Bai Qi, and Alpha and the other pets immediately went into battle mode.

Only the husky, or more precisely, Jerry, remained completely still, simply looking quietly behind him.

Bai Qi turned his head and saw a dark golden soul emerge from the mural, gradually solidifying under the golden sunlight.

"Anubis?"
