Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1315: Chapter 539: Eerie Heavenly Tomb! Land of Deathly Silence and Despair!

Of course, to outsiders, dealing with a siege from this many Ferocious Beasts would already be extremely difficult. However, for Su Ping, and even for the Heavenly Tomb Army who had long been prepared to enter, it really wasn’t much.

Qian Yi naturally took the initiative, charging to the front.

"Qian Yi will handle the battles in this area. Xiao Qing, don’t make a move unless absolutely necessary." Su Ping’s Soul Contract transmitted the command.

As for the Little Crow and Old Sha, they would wait in the Beast Taming Space for now. Both possessed formidable combat strength, but they lacked energy recovery methods. Qian Yi was different. Aside from the continuous resupply of the Death Energy of the Undead, the Great Revolution Five Elements Body also ensured a steady stream of energy recovery.

Five-colored light swirled around Qian Yi. Its energy aura rose rapidly by an astonishing margin. This was despite the fact that it had not yet completed its evolution, and that right now, Qian Yi’s Realm was the lowest of them all, barring Little Flame. However, in terms of pure combat power, there was a high probability that it was still the strongest!

Setting aside the Great Revolution Five Elements Physique, the buffs provided by the hundreds of ready-to-connect Paperman paper swords far exceeded those of any ordinary Pet Beast. As for the Undead Pet Beasts in this Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm? Leaving their sheer numbers aside, their standard combat strength was truly nothing special.

Qian Yi didn’t use any flashy Swordsmanship. It didn’t even enter the state of Unity of Heaven and Man. It used the simplest Swordsmanship: Sword Drawing Slash, combined with the Divine Transformation Level Jinge Technique.

A flash of sword light transformed into crescent Sword Qi. One strike. Just a single sword strike. The dozen or so Monarch Level Undead Beasts at the very front were reduced to bone fragments, turned into chunks of mangled flesh, or simply obliterated entirely. The golden crescent Sword Qi did not dissipate after this; its area of effect actually expanded even further. The remaining Undead Beasts behind them were directly cleaved into pieces by the same strike! Those in other directions were similarly unable to escape the might of this single slash. Over a hundred Ferocious Beasts were smashed to pieces without even getting within a hundred meters of Su Ping.

That was it? Su Ping looked around in bewilderment.

The place where the Stele shattered was still there, but no other changes had occurred. Amidst this gray fog, he stood on a small hillside. He couldn’t see any boundaries, nor did there seem to be any. Su Ping didn’t even know which direction to take. However, aside from all this, there was absolutely nothing else.

After Qian Yi killed those hundred-plus Undead Beasts, Su Ping waited on the spot for a full five minutes, but absolutely nothing came.

What was he supposed to do now? Su Ping glanced around suspiciously, then faced several directions ahead. "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... whichever way it lands, that’s where I’ll go! Alright, let’s head this way."

It wasn’t that he was being too frivolous or hasty; it was simply because in this godforsaken place, there was nothing else to see besides the endless gray fog. He felt a bit regretful for smashing that Stele directly, but the problem was, he hadn’t expected the thing to be so fragile! After probing it with his spiritual power, wasn’t it perfectly reasonable to probe it with energy?

And now, everything was barren. Even the Undead Pet Beasts from earlier had come from all directions—if he really tried to find their path of origin, he wouldn’t be able to. This vast gray fog had become the entirety of the world. Even the Celestial Tomb Mark in Su Ping’s soul, which had been constantly reacting before, had gone completely dead. Upon entering this world of gray fog, it was as if it had suddenly gone mute.

Under such circumstances, he truly had no other choice.

His walk didn’t last very long. Three minutes later, he seemed to have reached a border. The gray fog originally just obscured visibility past two hundred meters, but as he advanced in a single direction, this space felt as if it had been completely sealed off. The gray fog ahead had solidified into a tangible wall, blocking his path!

Qian Yi slashed out with its sword. The surging Sword Qi only caused the gray fog to churn; it showed no signs of dissipating.

Qian Yi slowly stepped its body into it.

At that instant, a freezing cold washed over him! A deep shiver accompanied the purest fear of Death, originating from the very depths of the soul. There was also an indescribable, needle-pricking sensation.

This was Su Ping’s experience, and the only tangible sensation upon coming into contact with that gray fog. No, wait. He hadn’t actually touched the gray fog yet; Qian Yi was the one who touched it. Yet this sensation was actually transmitted to his own soul through Qian Yi’s body via the Soul Contract.

Fortunately, after noticing something was amiss, Qian Yi instantly retreated, looking at the gray fog in front of it with vigilance and astonishment. However, what was even more bizarre was that Su Ping suddenly realized that, at this very moment, Qian Yi wasn’t feeling fear or curiosity, but rather a hint of excitement.

That’s right, excitement! Looking at the gray fog, Qian Yi was eager to try again. It was as if it had spotted some rare treasure.

"Qian Yi, what’s wrong?"

Qian Yi pointed at the gray fog. "WAA! (Delicious! Good food!)"

Good food? Although this godforsaken place was naturally a treasure trove for an Undead Type Pet Beast like Qian Yi, it was still uncertain exactly what kind of treasure it was. Could this stuff be eaten? How do you eat it?

Qian Yi quickly provided the answer. It directly tossed the Sword of Gold it was holding into the gray fog. Ten seconds later, the Sword of Gold returned, entirely wrapped in layers of gray air currents.
