Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 914 - 568: Annihilating the Celestial Generals
Previously on Beast Taming: My Intelligence System...
The Asura Demon Ape and the Hell Nether Wolf were locked in a fierce battle. For a moment, the Hell Nether Wolf found itself at a disadvantage. The Asura Demon Ape’s eight hands unleashed a relentless assault, leaving the Hell Nether Wolf in a rather beleaguered state.
"It's my turn to make an appearance," a young zombie carrying a colossal two-meter shield declared as it stepped onto the scene.
"Whew, what’s going on here? Why is the fight so intense?" a soul beast resembling an Artifact Spirit from the Qi Fortune Hall inquired. It bore a striking resemblance to a large white goat.
"Damn it, I just took a short nap, and the guards of the hall have been wiped out?" the goat-like creature exclaimed, disbelief coloring its tone. "That's impossible!"
"Hey, Gluttony Star of the Beidou Seven Stars, what are you doing here?" the creature continued, addressing the zombie. "Oh right, my name is Sheep Immortal. I am the Artifact Spirit of the English Hall, and all your information is meticulously recorded within my memory."
Ye Bai, having learned this, was eager to uncover the true identities of the two zombies summoned by the Necromancer.
"Sheep Immortal, who is the one wielding the giant shield?" Ye Bai inquired, pointing towards the shield-wielding zombie.
"That’s the previous Libra! Known as the strongest shield, though it met its end quite early."
Libra! Ye Bai mused, his mind racing. It sounded as if even the Pegasus Meteor Punch was about to be unleashed.
"You're mistaken; we are the origin of the Twelve Palaces. All others are merely imitators," Sheep Immortal stated, glaring at Ye Bai.
"And who is the skeleton swinging that massive sword around?" Ye Bai posed another question.
"That’s Capricorn. Its arm bones are the sharp Treasure Sword; the large sword it's holding is merely for show."
Ye Bai felt utterly overwhelmed by the revelations.
"But why are only these two resurrected?" he questioned, finding the situation somewhat unbelievable.
"Because these two were interred on the outskirts of the English Hall, not within its sacred grounds. They serve as guardians for the hall. Should they be revived by the dead, the hall's warning mechanism would be immediately triggered," Sheep Immortal explained. "All other spirits would be swiftly transported to the Qi Fortune Hall for containment. We had long anticipated this, do you understand?"
Ye Bai naturally understood. The hall had its defensive mechanisms firmly in place, ensuring any intrusion would be in vain. It would even revive the hall's guardians, effectively buying time for the hall's teleportation process.
Libra forthwith raised its shield, positioning itself protectively before the Hell Nether Wolf. Two resounding thuds echoed as giant fists pounded heavily against the shield.
"Asura Demon Ape, unleash a flurry of punches!" The eight-armed ape raised its colossal hands and hammered down ferociously upon the shield. Dull thuds emanated from the shield, yet Libra remained steadfast, blocking every single attack without yielding an inch.
Witnessing this massive, stony obstacle standing firm before the Hell Nether Wolf, both the Necromancer and the Heavenly Star considered a hasty retreat. However, they suddenly discovered themselves ensnared by an invisible Barrier.
"You think the English Hall is a place you can enter and exit at your leisure?" Sheep Immortal's voice boomed. "Do you truly not take me, the Artifact Spirit of the English Hall, seriously? Leaving will not be that simple."
"Ye Bai, I have successfully stalled these two for you. Seize this opportunity and apprehend them," Sheep Immortal declared with a self-satisfied expression.
"Alright, Heavenly Star, Dark Star, if you have any further issues, just bring them forth," Ye Bai retorted. "I’ve grown tired of seeing your glum faces."
Dark Star, having witnessed the destruction of so many of his zombies, gritted his teeth in anger. Upon hearing Ye Bai's words, the last vestiges of his sanity seemed to snap.
"Do you even comprehend why I am known as the Necromancer?" Dark Star roared defiantly. "It is because I can burn my own soul to perish alongside you! Do you understand? I did not wish to resort to this, but you have forced my hand. If you had simply let me live, I would not need to do this."
"I would very much like to see how you intend to kill me," Ye Bai challenged. Burning one's soul required immense courage and was a swift, albeit destructive, end.
"Dark Star, do not burn your soul here! I will be affected as well!" Heavenly Star's expression suddenly contorted with alarm.
"No, I can no longer tolerate this! I have been humiliated to this extent. Do you honestly believe I should endure such indignity?" Dark Star felt an immense surge of displeasure at that moment.
A colossal amount of Ghost Fire erupted from his body. At this juncture, Dark Star underwent an out-of-body experience, transforming into a colossal figure composed entirely of flame.
"Come, embrace me, and let me incinerate everything you are!" Dark Star bellowed. "I shall not truly die; I will return to the Netherworld and be resurrected."
Upon hearing this declaration, Ye Bai's blood ran cold as he sensed something was terribly amiss. What did he mean by 'resurrected'? Could this individual genuinely come back to life after being slain?
This couldn't be right! If that were the case, what was the point of defeating these opponents? Would the final confrontation still proceed as planned? Was this the inevitable outcome? Or was this individual attempting to deceive him?
Given the fragmented nature of Dark Star's pronouncements, Ye Bai's mind raced with a multitude of possibilities. He couldn't help but ponder.
"Hell Nether Wolf," Ye Bai called out.
From the shadows, the Hell Nether Wolf sprang forth, launching itself directly at the Asura Demon Ape. The Asura Demon Ape's massive form tumbled uncontrollably toward Dark Star's position. "Manic, you're truly insane! I warned you not to use those techniques here, but why wouldn't you listen!" Heavenly Star exclaimed, looking utterly exasperated. "Your name is Ye Bai, correct? Those flames emanating from Dark Star are known as Void Fire; direct contact will cause you to be consumed by them." "You must act swiftly – either shatter the Barrier, or we shall both perish here."
