Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 893 - 557_2

This process is just like delving into memories, sifting out the core essence and throwing away the useless scraps.

"I get it now, Pan Hai. You keep mentioning authority over and over, but this item surely isn't your Divine Status Fragment, right?"

Ye Bai remarked with a grin.

Pan Hai had long sought the Divine Status Fragment, yet based on his recent description, it didn't seem to match this authority.

"Correct, this world actually holds three forms of authority."

"One resides in my original body, another in my Divine Artifact, and the third in one of my Divine Formats."

"Possessing even one grants you command over the world, but gathering all three puts the whole realm firmly in your grasp."

Upon hearing Pan Hai's explanation, Ye Bai furrowed his brow a touch: "I only want to ask, can your true form ever fully restore itself?"

"If not, then what?"

"Keep things as they are, or something else?"

Pan Hai let out a sigh: "My true form likely can't be fully restored."

"However, the other two authorities remain within reach."

"My Divine Artifact, the trident, ought to lie within my Divine Country."

"And that Divine Status Fragment merged with your Holy Water Qilin is the ocean-related one."

"The authority hides inside the oceanic Divine Format, so claiming this Divine Format will truly test your abilities."

Pan Hai's words left Ye Bai somewhat puzzled.

"So, where exactly is your Divine Country? Wouldn't it have crumbled entirely after your fall?"

"How does it persist?"

Ye Bai felt a wave of frustration; far too many things didn't add up.

"Divine Country?"

"Thanks to the authority's power, even after my downfall, my Divine Country stayed intact."

"Yet that choice brings a huge drawback: the Divine Country turns incredibly sturdy."

"I recommend you seek the Divine Status first; save cracking the Divine Country's shell for last."

Suddenly, a massive fish lunged from the depths.

This beast sported enormous wings, its gaze filled with icy malice.

"Shennong Ginseng King, why don't you handle this foe?"

Ye Bai sought a fair matchup.

The moment Shennong Ginseng King appeared, it noticed the surrounding water.

"Save me, I can't swim!"

Shennong Ginseng King panicked wildly, leaving Ye Bai at a loss for words.

"Shennong Ginseng King, you're far too cowardly."

"Listen, this protective bubble won't break, so relax."

"The Exotic Beasts in these seas brim with vital energy. Shennong Ginseng King, why not draw life force from these Illusion Beasts to power up?"

To evolve, Shennong Ginseng King required vast life force to ascend to Shennong Ginseng Emperor.

[Domain: Hundred Herbs Domain: Boosts growth in Wood Attribute Pet Beasts, speeding their progress.]

[Evolutionary Path: Shennong Ginseng Emperor, demands plentiful life force for evolution]

Ye Bai's suggestion sparked the Shennong Ginseng King's desire to evolve.

Gazing at the rapidly advancing Sunflower Fairy, it sensed growing despair.

Pondering when it might escape this subservient role.

Thus, self-improvement was essential to gain true strength.

"Fine, I'm diving in."

Shennong Ginseng King swiftly assumed its Eight-armed Nezha mode, resembling a colossal Wood Giant as it barreled toward the Tiger Shark Demon.

Its eight limbs stabbed savagely at the flying fish, unleashing torrents of blood that swiftly stained the waters red.

Through its eight arms, Shennong Ginseng King drained the Tiger Shark Demon's life force.

The overwhelming drain plunged the Tiger Shark Demon into utter fatigue.

"You lowly being, how dare you invade the ocean depths."

"Hold on, are you another invasive species?"

"The demons dispatched me to scout this sea region; slay me, and my demon forces will obliterate everything here."

The Tiger Shark Demon muttered a couple of phrases, yet the Shennong Ginseng King feared no demon whatsoever.

That arrogant tone was what it loathed the most, filling the Shennong Ginseng King with utter disgust.

"At first, I planned to let you live, but now I’ve reconsidered."

"I’ll convert you into nothing but vital life force."

Under the Tiger Shark Demon’s terrified stare, the Shennong Ginseng King ripped it to shreds, dyeing the whole ocean surface red with blood.

"It seems one of our kin has met his end."

A enormous octopus emerged from the depths, with a huge eye on each of its tentacles.

Additionally, a human-like face adorned the top of the octopus’s body.

"I need to check how the Tiger Shark perished; if a feeble being slew it, we’ll seek revenge."

"Should the Tiger Shark have fallen to a mighty foe, we’ll quietly retreat."

Demons inherently chase gains while shunning dangers, revealing their deepest cowardice.

Close by, the Shennong Ginseng King drew all the blood into itself, steadily boosting its power.

Right then, a colossal shadow approached from the distance through the water.

Trailing behind came a flock of dark silhouettes.

These were demons resembling octopuses, every tentacle bearing an eye, while they gripped spherical demons.

[Name: Sea Urchin Demon]

[Evolutionary Path 1: None yet.]

[Evaluation: It’s a twisted creation, a toy made by the Abyss’s Demon God, its weakness is the eye inside its mouth, possessing abundant life force, also known to demons as a little sea treat.]

"Oh dear, Sea Urchin Demons are showing up—what are they after?"

"Planning to launch them our way?"

"Shennong Ginseng King, stay alert; those Sea Urchin Demons brim with life force."

"Absorbing plenty of these Sea Urchin Demons will let you grow stronger."

"What’s your take?"

Ye Bai shared every detail he observed with the Shennong Ginseng King, letting it decide its own response.

In that instant, the Octopus Demon seized a Sea Urchin Demon with its tentacles and flung it toward them.

The Sea Urchin Demon expanded massively in size, but suddenly, a sharp branch impaled its form.

"No wonder this life-rich, high-energy treat tastes so superb."

"Never thought my piercing strike would shatter this fellow’s defenses—impressive, truly impressive."
