Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 408 - 404: All Living Beings... Equal?
Chapter 408: Chapter 404: All Living Beings… Equal?
Awooo!
(Now it’s my turn to shine!)
Seeing them become the target of public criticism, Beta didn’t panic at all. He snatched the control of the fortress from Schuck, accurately locked all enemies, and the vast golden energy began to converge into the barrel.
Upon seeing this, other transcendent creatures became vigilant, either keeping distance or preparing for defense.
Most of them had seen the Husky’s powerful mechanical output ability in the trials. Though not enough to be directly defeated, it was absolutely not a good choice to resist it head-on.
Boom!
Under Alpha’s helpless gaze, the fortress’s turret started puffing out green smoke, but there was no energy firing out.
The sound of mechanical parts grinding together echoed.
(Your Diamond Strength is already of a transcendent level, you can’t use it out here.)
Alpha, seeing this, sighed helplessly, swung his three swords and plunged into the enemy team. Surprisingly, he dominated a group of transcendent creatures solely with his excellent swordsmanship.
Awooo!
(Damn it, I won’t submit!)
Beta looked unhappy, currently, his transcendent skills were restrained, and the Diamond Strength had no way to be unleashed, causing his long-range attack ability to be greatly limited.
“Let me do it instead.”
Seeing this, Jerry reluctantly took control of the body, wielding his scepter and similarly launched an attack against the surrounding transcendent creatures.
Both of the twin pets had extremely rich combat experience and exquisite skills, they quickly adapted to the energy reduction, and surprisingly caught many opponents off guard.
But the most eye-catching one was the last Lord Creature in the team, Delta.
Accompanied by Delta’s deepening research in biology, his accomplishment in local evolution became more proficient, and he fully displayed the advantages of six ancient species in the Dragon state.
Strength, speed, defense, Delta carried no obvious flaws, every attribute had reached its current limit.
Kapow! Kapow!
(Delta is so strong…)
Gamma, who opened up Schizonepeta Body and the Bloodsucking Aura and took a beating silently, looked at the rampaging Delta with great admiration.
Kapow! Kapow!
(If Delta advances to a King-level, he must be the strongest one among us.)
“Perhaps, but I still think that Alpha would probably be the strongest,” said Wormwood, glancing casually in Alpha’s direction. He neatly dodged an attack from a transcendent creature and continued, “Speaking of which, are we really supposed to face so many enemies?”
Kapow! Kapow!
(It seems so, but Gamma thinks it’s great.)
Gamma swallowed a transcendent creature whole, rapidly absorbed the creature’s energy, and then greedily set his sights on the next target.
So much unfamiliar energy still left…
“None of them are normal.”
Wormwood helplessly sighed, targeted a tall and mighty giant creature, bravely met the creature head-on, brutally pounced through the skin, and forcibly seized control of the creature.
With so many enemies, it’s too dangerous to fight by one. It’s so much better to use a Gundam.
…
“Can Bai Qi’s talent really be this good, to fight outnumbered yet relaxed?”
Lilith watched Alpha and the other pets, who were clearly at the same level but still dominating. There was a flash of disbelief and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
However, the previous arrogance was gone, all that remained was the awe for the strong.
“It’s not just his talent, perhaps others are also training hard where we cannot see.”
Dean smiled faintly, looking around through the vision of the Holy Light Angel, but he had no intention of joining in the contention. He just stood still silently.
“Dean, aren’t we going to act? Or are you planning to be the beneficiary of others’ fight?”
Lilith looked puzzled. Dean’s purpose in giving up the Light Blessing was precisely to wait for this final Life Blessing.
While it was unexpected that Aleta would break the rule and allow participants to reenter, but there was no doubting that Dean was determined to have this Life Blessing.
“The beneficiary of others’ fight? No need, the Life Guardian’s test is not about our combat strength.”
Dean tapped his head and said, “Think about what the Guardian said, not all trials need to be accomplished through fighting.”
“What the Guardian said?”
Lilith seemed to understand but was not certain, yet she also stopped, learning from Dean’s behavior.
On the other hand, other transcendent creatures also gradually realized the problem.
Their levels were being suppressed again.
Awooo!
(I have fewer and fewer skills I can use, how am I supposed to fight!)
Beta, Feeeling his body becoming weaker and weaker, and increasingly uncomfortable, while Wormwood gradually felt the difficulty of controlling the parasites and made a quick decision, he ran out directly.
“What should we do now, guys?”
The clang of mechanical parts grinding together filled the air.
(You guys conserve energy, leave the rest to me.)
Alpha sensed the change in his internal energy and put away both the Sword of Death and the Sword of the Wind Chaser, leaving only one Sword of Retributive Karma in his hand, showing no sign of fear in his eyes.
Although unclear about Aleta’s purpose for this trial, as long as he defeated all enemies, he would naturally pass the trial.
Fortunately, the other transcendent creatures also realized the changes in their own state. They progressively stopped their actions and started consciously huddling for warmth.
If their current state were to continue, their energy would continue to dwindle. At that point, the numbers would become crucial.
“Alpha, take a break for now. This trial may not be won through battling,” said Schuck.
Schuck also figured out the implications of this trial. He immediately called Alpha back and briefly shared his views.
“Schuck, are you saying that the Life Guardian wants us to experience life’s evolution?”
Lobster Grass looked confused after hearing Schuck’s explanation. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma had the same expression.
Woof woof…
(Schuck, can you make it easier for a dog to understand?)
Looking at his confused companions, Schuck sighed in resignation. “Didn’t the Life Guardian say it? All we have to do is experience what life is. Since it’s an experience, I don’t think it’s meant to be done through battling,” he explained.
Bululu, bululu.
(Delta thinks the same way.)
Having heard Schuck’s explanation, Delta nodded in agreement. It seemed that Master Aleta also had the intention to speed up the trial. A red glow flickered across the sky, and all these transcendent creatures felt their energy, constitution, and even their spirit being suppressed to the limit.
From servants, no, they were even worse than servants. They were downgraded to the level of simple wild beasts.
“Can the Life Guardian really suppress so many transcendent creatures down to the level of wild beasts? Is she that powerful?”
Bai Qi, who had his connection with his pets forcibly severed due to the suppression of his Spirit Power, looked at Master Aleta in the distance. For the first time, he truly acknowledged her terrifying strength.
“Master Aleta is the most powerful Guardian known to be alive in the Federation. The Red Dragon’s Talent lies in life control. It’s not only possible to suppress us to become wild beasts, but even into cells,” explained Yi Yu with a smile. He continued, “Master Aleta emphasizes fairness. Now, every creature is back at the starting line.”
Bai Qi nodded. This all-encompassing suppression indeed brought everything back to the starting line.
He wondered if his pets could make it through this.
…
The Life Trial Secret Realm.
After being suppressed to the level of wild beasts, these formerly King-level transcendent species clearly felt uncomfortable. On the contrary, Alpha and others who had actually upgraded from the bottom adjusted just fine, even seeming somewhat nostalgic.
But soon, a new test came.
As all the creatures were questioning the purpose of this trial, the grassland beneath their feet began to wither at a perceivable speed. The soil gradually turned sandy and in an instant, it transformed into a barren desert.
Not only that; blazing heat and sandstorms arrived one after another, drowning the transcendent creatures in sand instantly.
Bululu, bululu.
(Everyone, quickly hide behind me.)
Seeing the situation, Delta immediately shone with the Evolution Light, transforming into a gigantic camel. This blocked the onslaught of the sandstorm. Alpha and the others also wasted no time in taking shelter behind him.
Kapu, kapu.
(Delta, you can still evolve? That’s amazing, Gamma come and help too.)
Gamma with a face full of admiration looked at Delta, who had retained his ability to evolve. Gamma followed suit and opened up his body to wrap Alpha and others inside.
Bululu, bululu.
(Evolution is Delta’s bodily instinct; it should be impossible to suppress.)
Delta chuckled and then closed his eyes to concentrate on resisting the sandstorm.
“Boss, what exactly is this Life Trial assessing?”
Wang Chuan, who ignored the sandstorm entirely due to his penetration talent, looked excitedly at the transcendent creatures around him that were desperately resisting the sandstorm, feeling somewhat puzzled.
“Who knows? We just need to hold on till the end.”
A smile tugged at the corner of Tan Lang’s mouth. Similar to a camel’s long hair, a fur appeared on his body, shrouding him.
“Amazing… You can recreate the animals you’ve eaten on your body. I’m envious of your talent, boss,” Wang Chuan expressed admiration when he saw this, and the others felt the same.
“Cut the nonsense. There’s about to be another change.”
Dean cast a fierce glance at Wang Chuan. As he’d said, the environment around them really started to change.
After the Great Heat came the Great Chill.
Awooo awoo!
(I am back in my element!)
The extreme cold activated Beta’s bloodline talent. He was frolicking all over the place while Lobster Grass was having difficulty coping. He was lying sickly on Delta, who had evolved once again, seeking warmth.
“This freaking weather. How many times is it going to change?”
Gala gala.
(Looking at this, perhaps this is the purpose of the assessment.)
Alpha looked around at the significantly fewer transcendent creatures around him and gradually gained some understanding.
Is this what the Life Guardian was testing, adapting to different extreme environments under the same conditions?
All creatures are equal?
It seemed that to verify Alpha’s understanding, extreme wind, earthquake, deep sea…
Every extreme environment had come into play. Yet, Aleta showed no signs of stopping. She jumbled up the sequence of environment changes and went through several rounds again.
By the time the environment around them turned back into a grassland, the number of remaining transcendent creatures was only about twenty.
