Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 601: Chapter 596: Sword Shadow Follows

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Sword of Silent Annihilation, the Butcher of the Broken Blade immediately sensed an intense crisis. Massive energy rippled on his body, and a broken long knife slowly emerged from behind him.

This long knife may appear broken, but the sign of its aura tore open the cloudy sky overhead,

Universe, Cutting Heaven!

The Butcher of the Broken Blade, having opened his domain, appeared completely merged with the broken blade in his hands, his spirit continuously soaring. From the places where he once emitted his blade energy, some broken blades tentatively began to appear.

“Beast Master, that Butcher of the Broken Blade might be undergoing breakthrough.”

Schuck promptly reminded Bai Qi, and without waiting for Bai Qi’s response, Gamma quickly moved towards Alpha’s location.

The Butcher of the Broken Blade was already a high-grade Emperor, and should he advance further, he could only become a Legend.

A Legendary Ferocious Beast was not something they could defeat currently!

They must stop him!

At this moment, Alpha grabbed the Sword of Silent Annihilation and slowly stepped in front of the Butcher of the Broken Blade, gently waving it at the broken blade that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Crack.

The broken blade shattered, and the body of the Butcher of the Broken Blade quickly shrank like a deflated balloon, already on the brink of death.

But the Butcher of the Broken Blade was evidently not one to give up easily. Despite being left with only a hilt, he still slashed at Alpha.

A blade spirit, the last of the Butcher of the Broken Blade’s strength and soul, formed and completed the long knife of the Butcher of the Broken Blade. The blade light cut towards Alpha’s face like a flying ribbon.

Witnessing this, Alpha still showed no major reaction. Raising the Sword of Silent Annihilation, he casually tapped it on the long knife. The long knife instantly shattered, and the Butcher of the Broken Blade’s body collapsed simultaneously.

Sword of Silent Annihilation, a single slash, and everything goes silent.

Only after the Butcher of the Broken Blade died did Alpha let go of the Sword of Silent Annihilation. Suddenly, four-colored brilliance appeared on the Sword of Silent Annihilation, transforming back to Four Long Swords and landing around Alpha.

Click-pop-click-pop?

(Alpha, are you okay?)

Gamma flew next to Alpha and sensed that more than half of the energy inside Alpha’s body had diminished. He swiftly placed his hands on Alpha and transmitted his own energy over.

Rattle-rattle.

(Thank you. The energy consumption was rather high since I used the Sword of Silent Annihilation in the battle.)

Alpha nodded his head, swiftly recovering his state with the help of Gamma’s massive energy. Then, Bai Qi and others quickly approached and asked.

“Alpha, are you alright?”

Rattle-rattle.

(Boss, I’m fine. I just used up a bit too much energy.)

Without activating the Silent Annihilation Sword Domain, and instead forcibly breaking into the Butcher of the Broken Blade’s domain through newly comprehended skill, it may seem astonishing, but the consumed energy was obvious.

“That’s good.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded and looked around at the Four Long Swords, saying, “That Sword of…..Silent Annihilation, was that a new skill you’ve been researching on?”

Rattle-rattle.

(It’s not exactly skills, just a simple attempt. Once I can merge them easily one day, perhaps it could become a skill.)

After hearing this, Bai Qi seemed to understand. The idea of merging four sword techniques together was indeed interesting, the idea of all swords returning to the same sect.

After ensuring once again that Alpha wasn’t affected negatively, Bai Qi shifted his gaze to the side.

A massive Teleportation Array had appeared where the Butcher of the Broken Blade had died. Without thinking, it was naturally the passage to the eighth floor.

Inside the array, there was a Triangular Rune Stone and two materials of different shapes.

One was a pale chunk of rotten flesh, similar to the shattered flesh of the surrounding zombies, but it seemed a bit more pure.

The other was a small long knife, appearing tangible but was actually intangible and couldn’t be touched.

“Since it’s the guardian, does it mean it drops more materials?”

Bai Qi’s eyes brightened at the sight. After storing the Teleportation Rune Stone, he began to check the condition of the two materials.

[Material Name]: Essence of Zombies

[Material Level]: Mythical Level

[Material Introduction]: The essence of zombies, only a limited few zombies about to undergo decay and rebirth have chances of dropping it

[Usage Effects]: Corpse Control (Super Level—54%), Body Corrosion (33%), Unknown (13%)

……

“It’s actually Corpse Control?”

Bai Qi was a little surprised at this, aligning it with Alpha. After seeing the probabilities, he couldn’t help feeling a little worried.

If Alpha’s Skeletal Mastery was to upgrade to Undead Dominator, one of the required skills is Corpse Control.

But the Essence of Zombies had an unknown change probability of as high as thirteen percent, which made Bai Qi worried.

While it’s true that the unknown changes have skills that are generally not weak compared to others, Bai Qi was more inclined to complete the Undead Dominator first.

“Might as well take the risk. There’s more than a fifty percent chance, so it’s not likely for the luck to be too good.”

Bai Qi gave the Essence of Zombies to Alpha and then turned to inspect the other thing.

[Material Name]: Heart of the Blade

[Material Level]: Mythical Level

[Material Introduction]: Created by the intense convergence of sword intention and will, it embodies a swordsman’s persistence.

[Material Effect]: Cutting Heaven (Transcendent Level-98%), Blade Soul Strengthening (Super Level—1%), Unknown (1%)

……

[Skill Name]: Cutting Heaven

[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level

[Skill Effect]: With the Will of Cutting Heaven, none can stand against it!

Note: It gathers the caster’s energy into a sword capable of Cutting Heaven, nothing can withstand it!

……

“Damn, I’m definitely going to get this skill!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue. With a 98% probability, it would be difficult not to get it.

“But, it’s good too. Having an additional powerful attack skill would suit Alpha well.”

Bai Qi handed the Heart of the Blade to Alpha, and then he immediately activated the Evolution Egg.

Although he was not sure if using the two materials together would cause a qualitative change, it didn’t matter as the nature of the Evolution Egg assured it’d be alright.

Soon, a Diamond Egg enveloped Alpha, Bai Qi collapsed onto Gamma due to the rapid depletion of his physical strength, regret creeping on his face.

Using two materials at once does indeed consume a lot, but it has not reached the point of racial evolution, probably, just new skills to acquire.

As for the Blade Soul, he doesn’t need to think about it, it’s basically Cutting Heaven, as for the Essence of Zombies, the chance of Body Corrosion is slim to none—after all, Alpha doesn’t have a body to corrode.

What remains are Corpse Control and the unknown.

I hope I can get what I wish for.

Leaning on Gamma, Bai Qi was quietly recovering his strength. In the meantime, the rest of the pets, bored while waiting, started practicing on the undead around them to kill time.

“The first three levels don’t count; the fourth level is the Skeleton Grassland, the fifth level is Steaming Hell, the sixth level is Frozen Hell, and the seventh is the Corpse Swamp. Although the difficulty is not as high as the fifth and the sixth, it is clearly increasing progressively.”

Bai Qi looked at the Teleportation Array in front of him, pondering the next journey with his hand stroking his chin.

The seventh level went very smoothly without much of a hitch. Looking at the situation with the Broken Blade Brain, there may be legendary creatures in the following levels and continuing comes with risks.

But just the seventh level had allowed Bai Qi to gain two pieces of mythical materials effortlessly. So if he were to leave now, he would certainly be at a loss.

Waiting outside is a Spirit Master Legion that needs him to activate talent, and then he has to bring some Beast Masters to the Element Altar for contracting. He might even have to give a lecture at Cangzhe Academy afterwards.

Bai Qi, just by thinking about it, felt that the itinerary was a bit compressed. This time, he needs to take the opportunity to make a good sweep as heaven knows when he will be able to come back.

“Or, should I just go and take a look?”

Bai Qi was a bit torn. Suddenly, he heard a cracking sound emanating from the eggshell on one side. Subsequently, a shadow flashed past, making the ground fracture.

“This is, Cutting Heaven? It seems more like splitting the earth?”

Bai Qi was a bit perplexed, but abruptly, a ray of sword light appeared within the Diamond Egg, shattering the shell, and Alpha appeared once again before Bai Qi.

Simultaneously, two new pieces of information surged into Bai Qi’s mind.

[Skill Name]: Corpse Control

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Introduction]: Control zombies within perception range.

…

“Lucky! I really got Corpse Control!”

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, passing a command to Alpha. Alpha understood immediately, its soul fire flickering in its eyes, causing the surrounding zombies to stop in their tracks. They stood unsteadily, no longer moving.

“Good, once I get the Undead Control and Soul Awakening, I can upgrade to Undead Dominator.”

Bai Qi withdrew his spirit power, and continued to check Alpha’s other new skill.

[Skill Name]: Sword Shadow

[Skill Level]: Transcendent Level

[Skill Effect]: The fusion of Shadow Department Power and Sword Intent, Sword Shadow will adhere to the body, manifesting different sword techniques than the body.

…

“Sword Shadow? Is it some kind of clone?”

With a frown, Bai Qi was clearly surprised by this skill.

Obviously, he was very lucky to encounter the one percent chance and gain a completely new effect. From the looks of the description, it could be an upgrade from Dark Reflection.

But it seemed to only gather the Sword Shadow together, without any special aspects.

“Alpha, demonstrate the effect of Sword Shadow.”

Alpha nodded, looked around, then selected a zombie, and struck it with a sword.

The move Alpha used was a basic straight stab, but at the moment when the long sword was about to hit its target, a shadow wielding a long sword suddenly emerged from another side, making a horizontal chop that severed the target.

“So that’s how it is, it appears in conjunction with Alpha’s attack.”

Bai Qi comprehended and gestured for Alpha to continue trying.

After that, on the vast Corpse Swamp, a knight in black armor brandished a long sword, starting a wanton slaughter. Surrounding this armored swordsman, a shadow brandished its sword, following a completely different rhythm.

The speed and style of the Sword Shadow’s attacks varied- offense or defense, some synchronized with Alpha’s moves, some on a different trajectory. Bai Qi even discovered that sometimes even Alpha was surprised by Shadow Sword’s moves.

A Shadow Sword with independent actions, but with matching attack power? Alpha’s combat effectiveness has totally doubled!
