Chapter 522 - 517: The Soul of a Beast
Chapter 522: Chapter 517: The Soul of a Beast
“Law Emperor’s Insight? Yeah, sure, definitely…”
Upon hearing this, Black and White seemed somewhat embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something. However, Bai Qi’s attention at that moment had been completely drawn to the battle in front of him.
Due to the control enhancement they gained from the Black and White Secret Realm, Alpha and the others’ strength had surged dramatically. Under their coordinated attacks, they were utterly suppressing and beating down the horde of Ghost Wolves.
It wasn’t that the Ghost Wolves were too weak, among them were Emperor-level creatures with considerable combat prowess. They were merely caught off guard, in addition to which, they also suffered various attribute suppressions which led to them being dumbfounded.
Given these circumstances, they genuinely had to leave the Ghost Wolves here now.
“Is that a… human Beast Master? Your Black Dragon Tribe dares to ally with the Federation!”
As he watched his progeny being relentlessly slaughtered, the Ghost Wolf didn’t mask its fury and roared at Nicholas.
“Allying with the Federation?”
Nicholas tilted his head in confusion, not understanding the Ghost Wolf’s meaning. However, to the Ghost Wolf, this gesture seemed more like a mockery.
“In that case, don’t blame me, Black Dragon Tribe!”
The Ghost Wolf growled, then howled to the sky. Following that, a black bead flew from its mouth, like a dark full moon, radiating a strange glow.
“That’s it, that’s the core I need!”
Upon seeing the Ghost Wolf spit out that black bead, Black and White were immediately ecstatic. Bai Qi’s eyes also hardened, and he immediately instructed Nicholas to take action.
However, this black bead seemed to affect the surrounding spirit fluctuations, making it very difficult for not only Nicholas but also Bai Qi to maintain contact with their Beasts.
Nicholas instantly realized that something was wrong, and immediately initiated the Jade Domain. The Ghost Wolf, too, didn’t show a hint of weakness as it opened its Ghost Domain to protect the black core.
However, it was evident that Nicholas’ Jade Domain was superior. After a brief stalemate, the Jade Domain began to suppress the Ghost Domain.
At that moment, the Ghost Wolf let out a roar, and the Ghost Wolves around it that were being brutally beaten seemed to have received a kind of summons. They cast themselves one after another towards the black core.
Then, the Ghost Domain, which was about to be crushed by the Jade Domain at any moment, suddenly held out against Nicholas’ massive pressure and even pushed back a little.
“Black and White, what’s going on?”
Upon witnessing this, Bai Qi immediately asked. Black and White then explained helplessly, “This core has the ability to absorb souls. This Ghost Wolf must have grown by relying on the core.”
“Absorb souls?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi frowned, then immediately gave new instructions to his pets.
“All of you, switch to soul-attacking skills. Not a single wolf can be spared!”
Crack, crack.
(Understood boss.)
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s command, Alpha immediately took the Sword of Death and the Sword of Retributive Karma into his hands. Jerry also entered his Guardian of the Underworld state, blocking the inevitable path between the Ghost Wolves and the core.
As for Cordyceps, it quietly fell asleep, silently sneaking into the dreamland of the Ghost Wolves and started to devour their souls.
Next, Holy Light, Evil Power Gamma also started to attack with all their might. Delta, who had mastered the Power of Space, sealed the wolves’ escape paths.
Seeing this, the Ghost Wolf promptly made a decision. It stopped the core from absorbing souls and instead bit towards the core, intending to claim the soul power inside as its own.
Although absorbing so many souls at once had a large side effect, as long as they defeated them, with the core, they could quickly recover.
Just then, a green flame brushed past the core. The blistering temperature intimidated the Ghost Wolf into retreating. On turning around, it saw that the flame was emitted by Nicholas.
Unlike the previous Jade Breath, this flame was much deeper in color and faintly radiated a variety of kaleidoscopic lights.
It seemed somewhat similar to the energy in the Jade Dreamland.
“Damn, wasn’t he going all-out just now?”
The Ghost Wolf shook its head, cautiously watching Nicholas who was becoming terrifyingly powerful while quietly guiding the core towards itself.
However, just as the Ghost Wolf was distracted by the core, Nicholas’ figure suddenly vanished from where he stood, turning into a jade rainbow that pierced straight through the Ghost Wolf’s body.
“We won!”
Seeing this, Bai Qi excitedly waved his fist. Indeed, when a Legendary Giant Dragon went all out, it was truly terrifying.
Sure enough, when Nicholas reappeared, the Ghost Wolf’s body had quietly shattered.
“Bai Qi, how did this dragon do this time?”
Nicholas dissipated his power and turned around expectantly, but he didn’t notice the core he had forgotten emitting a small wolf’s head.
“Damn, I’ll need a long time to recover now.”
The Ghost Wolf looked bitterly at Nicholas and the others celebrating below and quietly guided the core to fly towards the top of the Secret Realm.
With this artifact, the Ghost Wolf not only quickly advanced to the level of the Legendary Ferocious Beasts but also gained a life-saving skill.
[Skill Name]: Repairing the Pen After the Sheep is Lost
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Description]: After death, the Soul Core will appear in a pre-prepared object. If it can return to the main body within a certain time frame, it can recover most of its strength.
…
Considering the current situation, returning to the main body was not realistic. However, with this treasure, given time, he could quickly grow back.
By then, the Black Dragon Tribe, the Federation, they will all be his prey!
Just as the Ghost Wolf was fantasizing about his future revenge, a giant wolf suddenly appeared behind him.
Hoo, hoo?
(What are you doing?)
Beta curiously approached the core. His sharp fangs made the Ghost Wolf frightened, and he immediately let go of the core, escaping through the crack left by the battle in the Secret Realm.
[Skill Name]: Ghostly Wolf Shadow
[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level
[Skill Effect]: Consumes the origin of the soul to gain extraordinary speed and can completely conceal its aura
Damn, I used up too much this time, I must rest well.
This wolf will take revenge, even if it takes ten years!
Aw-ooo?
(Where did it go?)
Beta looked at the top of his head with some confusion, scratched at the core in front of his eyes, but did not gain anything. He simply didn’t think much about it, picked up the core bead and ran back to Bai Qi.
Aw-ooo!
(Human, I have found the core!)
“Good job, you’ll get an extra meal tonight!”
Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily, took the bead from Beta’s hand, handed it to Black and White, and said, “Is this it?”
“Yes, yes, that’s it!”
Black and White nodded repeatedly, holding the bead and ran towards the Secret Realm Tower, which made Jerry who was watching somewhat yearn for it.
If he could eat that core, could he also become stronger quickly like the Ghost Wolf?
However, it seemed impossible.
Black and White ran to the front of the Secret Realm, skillfully pressed several times on a wall at the entrance, and a disc filled with black beads slowly rose.
“So, are all these cores?”
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eyes, looking at the dozens of identical black beads on the disc, and asked.
“Yeah, I don’t know why one fell off before, which directly led to the weakening of the ability of this Secret Realm to absorb souls. Now that this one is back, we can restore the previous effect.”
Black and White nodded, while Jerry, who had just urged him to let it go, lost the calmness of the past and asked coldly, “Beast Master, can I rob it?”
“Well, although I’m a bit greedy, the Law Emperor’s insight is more important.”
Bai Qi sighed, if Black and White hadn’t given him a hefty reward in advance, he might have taken it.
For now, let’s forget it.
After all, people should have integrity and cannot renege on their word at will.
“Since the core has been found, shouldn’t you give me the Law Emperor’s insight you promised me earlier?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Black and White, who was initially overjoyed by the return of the core, suddenly stiffened, slowly turned around, and said somewhat embarrassingly, “Well, I might not be able to give you the Law Emperor’s insight.”
“Hmm?”
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, looked at Jerry, and said, “Well, I suddenly feel like robbing it.”
“Leave it to me!”
Upon hearing this, Jerry immediately revitalized, transformed into the form of the Guardian of the Underworld, and charged directly at Black and White.
“It’s not that I don’t want to give, but the insight is not here!”
Seeing this, Black and White hurriedly stood in front of the disc and said, “The Law Emperor’s insight is stored in the bottom part of the tower. I can’t get it out.”
“At the bottom of the tower?”
Bai Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he still stopped Jerry and asked, “So where is the bottom of the tower?”
“I don’t know…”
Black and White shook his head, but upon seeing Alpha who had already unsheathed his sword, he quickly added, “However, as long as the charging is complete, I can directly go to the bottom of the tower, then I can give it to you!”
“So, that’s it…”
Bai Qi relaxed his face, looked at Black and White who was frightened by the Sword of Death, and said, “But the bottom of the tower isn’t in the tribe, is it?”
Black and White thought for a while and said, “It should be. Although the old bastard Law Emperor didn’t tell me specifically, I remember all three towers were placed in the tribe.”
“After all, the original function of the Black and White Twin Towers was to use the souls of Ferocious Beasts to create the Dual Sky Mech, it’s too dangerous to place it in the human world because it could cause accidental injuries.”
“So that’s it, it makes sense.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi was enlightened. The Thousand Cliff Stone Forest used to be the territory of the tribe, so it made sense.
Place the logistics base in the tribe, use the souls of Ferocious Beasts to produce weapons to fight against Ferocious Beasts
Using the soul of a beast to fight against the disaster of beasts.
No wonder the Law Emperor was able to make the tribes retreat repeatedly. It did make some sense.
“By the way, since the Law Emperor is so awesome, why haven’t there been similar records in history?”
“Why, of course, it’s because the old bastard is dead.”
Black and White sighed and said, “When I was placed in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest, his health was not good. According to the records, it seemed that the old man’s health became worse due to some severe damage.”
“Is that so…”
Hearing this, Bai Qi fell silent. If the Law Emperor had lived a few more years, maybe the situation would have been different.
But now, the Federation had achieved the Law Emperor’s goal.
Hmm hmm hmm…
With the core inserted, the Black and White Twin Towers gradually vibrated. But Bai Qi suddenly thought of something and said, “Since the Law Emperor’s insight is at the bottom of the tower, you can give me the rewards for clearing the tower~”
“But didn’t we agree to only give the Law Emperor’s insight?”
“So give it to me?”
“I can’t…”
“Alpha, Jerry, start working!”
“I’ll give! I’ll give!”
