Chapter 1331: Chapter 545: Slaying the Enemy’s Soul! Taking a Big Gamble!
The feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas allowed Su Ping to finally breathe a sigh of relief. After a moment of thought, he chose to store the power. Instantly, the bone-chilling coldness that had permeated his entire body—like a Death Ocean threatening to swallow him whole—vanished without a trace.
Deep within his soul, atop the open Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, a new message appeared. It was just like the time he first encountered the Celestial Tomb Mark:
[Advanced Origin Power (Storing)]
[A Rule Power containing a formidable Origin. Comprising Death Element and Undead Series origin power, it possesses a fraction of independent will and boasts extremely potent power.
Option 1: Complete fusion with the host. Upon fusion, it will rapidly elevate the host’s soul to a High Level stage and grant partial mastery over corresponding abilities. However, it will negatively impact the host’s sanity and soul purity.
Option 2: Complete absorption by the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. Upon absorption, any Undead Type or Death Element Catalogs will automatically reach Level 3 upon being lit, and the Experience Points consumed for deducing these abilities will be permanently reduced by 20%. Additionally, you may select one Level 5 Catalog to further advance its Catalog Level.
Furthermore, after absorption by the Atlas, whenever you acquire a Talent by lighting up an Undead Type or Death Element Pet Beast Compendium, that Talent’s abilities will undergo a direct evolutionary upgrade. Acquiring any origin power Talent of this type will also grant it one immediate evolutionary upgrade.]
Even though he had prepared himself and guessed a part of it, Su Ping was still momentarily stunned when he saw this genuinely massive haul. Naturally, he couldn’t accept the first option. If he had wanted to fuse with it, he wouldn’t have had the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas store it in the first place.
However, he truly hadn’t expected that letting the Atlas absorb a portion of the Netherworld God’s origin power would yield such tremendous feedback and benefits! The previous Celestial Tomb Mark seemed only capable of further advancing a Level 5 Catalog, and likely only by a small margin. Yet, this complete fragment of power could accomplish so much that it was dazzling. Aside from everything else, the reduction in Experience Points consumed for Catalog deductions was incredibly attractive on its own.
The Undead Type was a genuine major category of Pet Beasts. Given its broad scope and the sheer number of Pet Beasts it encompassed, even if it didn’t make up half of the Pet Beast Taming World, a conservative estimate would still place it at a solid twenty percent. Such massive coverage would make Breeding Undead Series Pet Beasts absolutely effortless in the future.
Then there was the Talent upgrade. If Su Ping remembered correctly, the Legend of the Holy Dragon had mentioned this when discussing insider information regarding High Level Beastmasters. Once a certain Level was reached—especially when a Spirit Saint Level Beastmaster sought to break through to the Legendary Level—the evolutionary upgrade of a Beastmaster’s Talent played a crucially important role.
In fact, its current effects were already absurd. After reaching the Monarch Level, other Beastmasters found their meditation progress slowing down drastically, but Su Ping had experienced a massive surge instead. His progression speed wasn’t just maintaining its previous pace; it was actually even faster. Had he not deliberately suppressed it, he probably would have reached Monarch Peak a while ago.
This was the bonus brought about by his Talent. It was also the main reason why the ultimate reward for the youth professional assessment was a Spirit Seed capable of Awakening a second Talent.
But now, after absorbing this fragment of the Netherworld God’s origin power, all of his Talents related to Undead Series Pet Beasts could be directly upgraded? And the same applied to any new Talents he obtained in the future?
This practically guaranteed that Su Ping’s future meditation speed wouldn’t slow down as he advanced through Great Realms. Furthermore, if he unlocked new Illustrated Handbooks quickly enough, his speed might even increase further.
Brilliant!
However, despite his inner joy, Su Ping wasn’t in a hurry to act. Now was not the right time.
In fact, mobilizing the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping even directly released a wisp of this origin power. Instantly, that invasive, deathly coldness reappeared in his body and mind. Yet this time, likely due to the restrictions of the Atlas, the power did not recklessly affect his consciousness. Quite the opposite—under these circumstances, Su Ping felt he could actually control and utilize a portion of this power to a certain extent.
And that was more than enough.
With this in mind, Su Ping adapted to the coldness. Cloaked in that icy aura, his soul slowly withdrew from the Sword of Death. Dark light flared intensely across the pitch-black blade as Su Ping’s figure gradually reappeared within the space.
Charles had been waiting there all along, and the smile on his face only grew wider. As soon as Su Ping’s figure materialized, the Sword of Death—which remained embedded in the ground, wreathed in endless Darkness—released a distinct aura that immediately intertwined with Su Ping.
The result was self-evident.
“Su Ping, you really didn’t disappoint me! Such power should be commanded by us; it should be harnessed by us together! Believe me, we will ultimately achieve eternal life!” Charles exclaimed with extreme exaggeration.
Su Ping slightly narrowed his eyes, looked at the man, and replied after a moment of thought, “I’ve done exactly as you said. Isn’t it about time you shared whatever ulterior motives you’ve been hiding?”
“Su Ping, your words truly break my heart. Have you never believed me from the very beginning? Every single word I told you earlier was the absolute truth! Of course, having fused with the Netherworld God’s Soul Fire, I will Awaken power from my soul with every single one of the Netherworld God’s revivals!”
