Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 572: Chapter 567: Hellfire!

Watching stones burning with the flame of evil energy, Bai Qi’s expression gradually turned grave.

These stones were none other than the elemental cores he had found inside the Earth Elemental before.

Very evidently, the contamination of the cores here was severe.

“No wonder every Earth Elemental encountered was abnormal, it’s because the Earth Core was contaminated with evil power.”

Bai Qi looked at the Earth Core being eroded bit by bit by the evil power, and he understood now.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the Earth Element Door was divided into the Square Stone and the Black Dragon Stone Tablet, perhaps due to the changes in the Earth Core.

Without any accident, the other Element Doors within the Earth Elemental Realm would probably also be in a state of extreme difficulty to open.

“Getting back seems a bit troublesome.”

Bai Qi scratched his head and decided to turn around and leave.

The evil power here that could influence the Earth Core, such a core of a world, was definitely not comparable to the Evil Energy Core or the Evil Energy Snake Statue that he had encountered before. He did not have a death wish.

But things didn’t go as planned. Just as Bai Qi prepared to leave, the green stones that had been lying quietly underground suddenly flew up and under the pull of some power, slowly gathered into a giant Rock Giant.

“What the hell, Hellfire is here?!”

Bai Qi looked at the Hellfire in front of him emitting an aura of cruelty and immediately commanded the Zodiac Mouse to flee. But he found that the path they had taken had been blocked somehow.

Earth Core?

Bai Qi showed a wry smile, decided to change his plan within his heart and released all his pets.

“Alpha, take it down, think of it as a supplement for Gamma!”

Crack crack!

(“Leave it to me, boss!”)

Alpha nodded and directly charged at Hellfire with his sword.

Ka-poo Ka-poo!

(“Alpha wait for Gamma, Gamma is coming too!”)

Gamma had long been attracted to the rich presence of evil energy in Hellfire. Seeing Alpha make the first move, he chased after him immediately.

Alpha moved extremely fast and came to Hellfire in a blink of an eye, launching his strongest attack, the Sword of Death.

But the Power of Death, which had always been invincible and feared by all, didn’t seem to have a significant effect against Hellfire.

Despite it causing a great deal of destruction, it could not erode its body like it could with other creatures.

“Evil energy… No wonder the Law Emperor tried to use the Evil Energy Core to create the Black Sky Mech, it seems that evil energy can indeed compete with the power of death.”

After fetching Black and White back to Gusu City, Bai Qi had asked in detail about the Evil Energy Core and also learned that evil energy could resist the power of death.

Bai Qi had let Gamma and Alpha try it afterwards but the result was not noticeable, probably because the gap between them was too vast.

Now witnessing Hellfire, Bai Qi completely confirmed his hypothesis.

Evil Energy was indeed a power that was comparable to the Power of Death.

Bai Qi’s mind recalled the giant demon he had seen when Gamma’s evolution was interrupted in the Green Dragon Secret Realm and became increasingly curious about evil energy.

That scene was certainly not his present world, it looked more like it was in the Void.

A race that could move freely in the Void was extraordinary to think about.

On the other hand, when Alpha realized that the Power of Death was not causing obvious harm to Hellfire, he released his Four Swords, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship to fight against Hellfire.

Gamma switched to the Holy and Demon State, wielding the Holy Light Thunder in one hand and the Evil Energy Flame in the other. He went up close to fight and occasionally swallowed the green shards that Alpha had knocked from Hellfire, his intention was clear.

Although Gamma was not picky and would eat energy of any attributes, as it stands, what truly stimulated his appetite were evil energy and Holy Light.

The Holy Light was everywhere in their secret realm, but this was not the case for evil energy. Having encountered it now, Gamma naturally wanted to eat his fill.

However, the power of Hellfire was not so simple, even if it did not use any powerful skills and only fought in the most primitive way, it still made the fight extremely tough for Alpha and Gamma.

A sturdy body, enormous strength, burning flames.

Though this Hellfire had not reached the level of Legend yet, its level of annoyance was no less than that of Legend.

Seeing this, Alpha didn’t hesitate any longer and unleashed his Sword Intent to Slay Dragons. All of his energy concentrated on the Sword of Death, and with one swing, thousands of swords exploded forth, directly piercing through the body of Hellfire.

Simultaneously, Gamma switched to the Holy Light Form. The Holy Storm covered all the shards that had fallen from Hellfire, expunging the evil energy from the shards.

But this evil energy did not dissipate right away. Instead, it squirmed and collected itself towards the center, attempting to return to Hellfire.

However, Gamma wouldn’t let go of such pure evil energy and threw himself onto it, swallowing up all the fallen evil energy drops all at once.

Without the enhancements of evil energy, Hellfire’s size also diminished somewhat while Alpha and Gamma, continued their assault, extracted every last bit of Hellfire’s evil energy.

Ka-poo Ka-poo!

(“Master, Gamma wants to eat more evil energy!”)

Gamma flew back to Bai Qi’s side, making no secret of his desire.

“No more, this place is too dangerous, let’s run for now. We can come back when we find Huangfu Chuanqi and the others.”

Bai Qi shook his head, as just now only an extremely small part of the numerous contaminated elemental cores had attacked him. The evil energy attached to the Earth Core hadn’t even begun to stir.

If they stayed here any longer, who knew which of them would end up being eaten.

Awuu Awuu…

“Human, you might be a little too late to run…”

Beta unconsciously stepped back as countless green rocks began to dance before his eyes.

Instantly, dozens of Hellfires took form, taking heavy steps towards Bai Qi.

“Delta, start running!”

Bai Qi clambered onto Delta’s back, immediately commanding him to teleport away, but despite many attempts, Delta couldn’t escape the range of this cavern.

Blub, blub.

“Master, it appears that the space here has been sealed off; Delta can’t sense any space outside.” Delta looked at Bai Qi and spoke.

“Sealed off?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi furrowed his brows even further. He looked behind him at the solid rock wall and then at the Hellfires approaching slowly. “Alpha, can the method you used to create the Dragon of Silent Annihilation be used on others?”

Crackling, crackling.

“I haven’t tried, but it should be possible.”

After a moment of silence, Alpha spoke.

“Then let’s try it with Gamma as the core.”

Bai Qi pointed at Gamma and spoke.

Crackling, crackling.

“I understand.”

Alpha nodded. A complex rune array appeared under his feet, the same array used before to merge with the Dragon of Silent Annihilation.

“Let’s intercept the Hellfires, you guys hurry up.”

Jerry was the first to emerge from his original body, transforming into the Guardian of the Underworld to face the Hellfire. Beta and Shuck also started fighting after condensing their bodies.

Blub, blub.

(“I’ll help too.”)

Delta couldn’t stand being left behind. His eyes flickered with candlelight as he wrapped himself with the Power of the Void as well as the Power of Time, starting to fight the Hellfires head-on.

Although Evil Energy was potent, it wasn’t strong enough to pollute the Void casually, so with the protection of the Power of the Void, Delta wasn’t afraid of Hellfire at all.

Besides, Delta was the only pet amongst them that could equal Hellfire in pure strength.

As for Husky, although he had split into three, he successfully stalled the Hellfire.

The Evil Energy Flame had a powerful burning and eroding effect on souls, so Jerry didn’t approach recklessly. Instead, he continuously used the power of the Judgment Scale to curse the Hellfires.

These Hellfires had been formed from the core of Earth Elementals. Although they were strong, they had multiple souls, which was favorable for Jerry.

Beta, who had just learned the Indestructible Golden Body, was having an incredibly easy time as well. The uncompromising Diamond Strength clashing with the Evil Energy was like two sharp needles confronting each other, a purely power-based contest.

But the most unexpected was Shuck, the only one among the three consciousnesses of Husky who didn’t have a Transcendent Skill of his own.

Shuck held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, like a warrior facing a Hellfire head-on.

Against the Hellfire’s punches, Shuck easily blocked them. The Evil Energy covering the Hellfire did not harm Shuck’s shield at all; instead, it was absorbed by the shield.

Then, these Evil Energies followed the Rune Structure on Shuck’s body and directly spread to the sword in his other hand. The metal longsword immediately burned with a green Evil Energy Flame, leaving a sword slash on the Hellfire effortlessly.

Anti-Gamma – Evil Energy Armor!

“Shuck, you’ve applied the Rune Structure of Black Sky Mech, haven’t you?”

Bai Qi instantly noticed the origin of the Rune Structure on Shuck’s body.

“That’s right. It doesn’t hurt to be prepared, even if I don’t necessarily use it.”

Shuck nodded and once again raised his shield to block the impact of the Hellfire.

“Anti-Gamma Armor… So, Shuck, after all this time, you haven’t given up on counteracting armor.”

Bai Qi stroked his chin, memories of the internal battles between Husky and Gamma flooding his mind.

He had suspected then that Shuck had designed a set of counteracting armors for everyone. But since the internal battles had essentially become a farce due to the pets refusing to give their full effort, Bai Qi’s suspicions could not be confirmed.

However, looking at the current situation, not only had the anti-armor not been abandoned, but it was also being constantly updated.

“Shuck, is there an Anti-Death Armor?”

Shuck was silent, but his answer was clear.

Okay, there was indeed one.

You are truly Iron Man, aren’t you!

Crackling, crackling.

(“Boss, I’m ready!”)

Just then, Alpha had completed the modification of the Fusion Array, and the remaining four pets took their respective positions, infusing their energy into Gamma’s body.

For a moment, white and green light enveloped the entire cavern, and Gamma unconsciously entered the Holy and Demon State. The wings of an angel and a demon grew on his back, gradually becoming larger, and marks of a second pair of wings started to appear.

Pooling the power of many pets, Gamma began to advance towards an even higher realm.
