Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1284 - 527: Supreme Evil Spirit Sword! Ghost Tide Attack!
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
"I thought you would at least wait until after New Year’s Day, finishing up this year’s domestic Breeder Competition before coming here!"
Su Ping’s arrival was completely silent. It did not attract any commotion or attention. In fact, the vast majority of people probably still thought he was in Beihai City, rather than appearing at the military camp on the extreme northern border of the Dragon Nation.
Inside the military camp’s central command room, Leng Ye spoke.
Su Ping exhaled a breath of the cold air he had just brought in from outside before replying, "A situation came up, so I came. I figured I’d also check out the Heavenly Tomb while I’m at it and resolve the issue."
Leng Ye’s mouth twitched. The Heavenly Tomb was a matter that even the Holy Dragon paid close attention to. How could this brat treat it like a stroll through an amusement park?
He said earnestly, "Su Ping, the Heavenly Tomb is no trifling matter. Don’t be too overconfident! Be careful. If something happens, it won’t just be a loss for you, but a massive loss for the Dragon Nation!"
Su Ping smiled. "Understood! However, I do have some other matters to attend to this time. Leng Ye, do you know where I can find the corpse of an Advanced Level Sword Artifact Pet Beast? The better preserved, the better."
"A Sword Artifact corpse? What do you need that for?" Leng Ye asked suspiciously.
Clearly, when Yin Luo arrived yesterday, she hadn’t mentioned this matter to him.
"I might need it for a Pet Beast’s Evolution. After some preliminary tests, it should be about right, so I need an Advanced Level Sword Artifact Pet Beast corpse to use as Breeding material."
"Using the remains of a Sword Artifact as Breeding material? What kind of bizarre Evolutionary Body are you trying to create this time, kid?" Leng Ye remained doubtful, but from a professional standpoint, he naturally wouldn’t argue with Su Ping. "What Level do you need?"
"The higher, the better!" Su Ping replied without a second thought.
"Tsk, so you mean Spirit Saint Level? Well, I have to say, your luck isn’t bad at all!"
Leng Ye smacked his lips and smiled as he saw Su Ping’s eyes light up. "Behind this Ghost Tide, there are several Spirit Saint Level beings from the Undead Series secretly orchestrating things. However, we haven’t completely figured out exactly how many there are or what kind of Ferocious Beasts they are!
"But out of the two Ferocious Beasts we *can* confirm, one of them is the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming even brighter. "A Spirit Saint Level Supreme Evil Spirit Sword!? An Advanced Level entity with the dual forms of Undead Type and Instrument Type? Has this thing actually appeared again?"
Leng Ye nodded. "This thing is extremely tricky. It commands a massive number of Sword Puppets and Sword Souls, making it a very troublesome opponent! Although it hasn’t directly attacked yet, its deterrent power is extremely strong. It’s also one of the main targets my Ghost Dragon is stalling and treating as a hypothetical enemy!"
"In other words, this thing isn’t dead yet?"
"Nonsense! It’s a Spirit Saint Level Sword Device, and a powerful one even among Spirit Saint Level entities. If it were that easy to kill, this Ghost Tide would have ended a long time ago!" Leng Ye said in exasperation.
Su Ping, however, didn’t mind his grumbling. His mind was entirely filled with information regarding the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, because he actually knew about this thing. Not to mention that he had crammed his head with knowledge on Sword Pet Beasts on the way here today; even if he hadn’t, he had previously seen some materials about this thing when he was researching Yu Liangqing’s Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword.
The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, a Holy Spirit Advanced Level, high-tier Species Pet Beast.
Currently, it hadn’t been discovered what Pet Beast it evolved from, or if it was simply a pure, innately Spirit Saint Level Pet Beast. This thing seemed to only exist around the borders of the Dragon Nation, and throughout history, there were almost no records of it being taken as a Pet Beast by a Beastmaster.
After using his authority to pull up classified files, he learned that in ancient times, the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was always a highly threatening target Ferocious Beast whenever such northern Undead Ghost Tides erupted. Therefore, Su Ping even had reason to guess that the ’Spirit’ in the ’Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword’—the Sword-type Pet Beast Evolutionary Body that the Fengdu Sword King, Yu Liangqing, had spent his life’s blood Breeding—might just refer to this Supreme Evil Spirit Sword!
This Fengdu Sword King seemed to have spent his life fighting fiercely on the Northern Border battlefields. His life’s ambition was to annihilate the Northern Heavenly Tomb Ghost Tide. If the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was his ultimate goal, it would certainly make sense.
This thing was indeed powerful.
In the records of the Breeder backend, Spirit Saint Level Sword Artifact Pet Beasts were not entirely non-existent, but the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was considered one of the very few Holy Spirit High Rank entities. Moreover, compared to other Sword Artifact Pet Beasts, this thing was extremely bizarre.
Its Ability was that of a ’Summoning-type’ Pet Beast. In historical discoveries, this thing was always surrounded by countless Sword Ghosts, Sword Souls, and Sword Puppets. Let alone Emperor Level and below, even Spirit Saint Level Sword Puppets and Sword Ghosts had been recorded in history. Furthermore, the Ability and Power of its main body were also incredibly strange and potent.
One could imagine the level of threat this thing posed today.
Yet, even so, upon hearing about the appearance of this thing that had only been recorded in history, Su Ping was still overjoyed.
If possible, wouldn’t this thing be a fairly excellent, highly suitable Evolution material for Qian Yi?
As for the threat it posed? Su Ping didn’t care.
With Leng Ye holding the fort, and the formidable strength of the Dragon Nation laid out here, a Beast Tide consisting of merely Spirit Saint Level Pet Beasts wouldn’t actually pose too much of a crisis in essence.
What was truly worth fearing were life-forbidden zones like the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where Legendary Level Living Beings like the Gu Divine Wood existed.
And this Supreme Evil Spirit Sword—a Sword-type Instrument Type Pet Beast, and one that was also tied to the Undead Attribute—
