Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 616: Chapter 611: Great Demon King Bi Ke, King of the Azure Snakes?

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be easing up, the Immortal Insect Emperor immediately followed up, saying, “I could exchange it for a legendary bloodline resource. Although it can’t compare to a mythical bloodline, it should help this young brother quite a bit.”

As he said this, the Immortal Insect Emperor presented a bug exuviae, and added, “This is the shell I shed a year ago. It retains my own bloodline and can be considered a legendary resource. If you’re willing, I would like to exchange it for a piece of Epsilon’s shell.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll heal your injury completely, without leaving any residual issues.”

The Immortal Insect Emperor’s sincerity was overwhelming, even drawing some envy from Yang Ming who was standing aside.

The thought of exchanging an insect exuviae for a shell that was a legendary resource seemed like a good deal. After all, for the insect race, a piece of shell wasn’t even considered as a wound.

“A legendary resource for a shell piece sounds like a good deal.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi went silent as he contemplated whether to make this trade, while the bugs next to him seemed to be stirred as well.

It certainly was an enticing deal to be left alone by this terrifying creature for the cost of a single shell piece.

Both man and insect shared a glance with each other, quickly reaching a consensus.

“Deal!”

Bai Qi promptly took the bug exuviae, while the bug easily tore off a piece of its own shell and handed it to the Immortal Insect Emperor.

“Thanks!”

The Immortal Insect Emperor excitedly took the shell and, struggling to resist the urge to swallow it, extended a forelimb and placed it on top of the insect, healing the broken shell instantaneously.

“Such a powerful healing ability!”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He thought, no wonder it’s called “Immortal”. The vitality indeed is remarkable. The exuviae would potentially have similar effects.

With that thought, Bai Qi immediately used his spirit power to check the status of the exuviae.

[Material Name]: Immortal Insect Exuviae

[Material Level]: Legendary Level

[Material Introduction]: The shell shed from the Immortal Insect Emperor, it still possesses a strong vitality and the power of the insect bloodline.

[Material Effect]: Immortal Body (Super Level -37%), Heart of the Insect (Super Level -29%), Strong Breed (Super Level -33%), Unknown (1%)

…

“Quite a few skills there.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly. All three obtainable skills were super level. It was clear that the Immortal Insect Emperor really was sincere.

“But what exactly does this Immortal Insect Emperor plan on doing with that shell to recreate the bloodline of the Sun Beetle?”

Bai Qi curiously looked at the Immortal Insect Emperor. The emperor didn’t avoid the question and swallowed the shell piece immediately.

“It’s indeed the Sun Beetle’s bloodline! Hmm? There is also the Green Dragon’s bloodline?”

The Immortal Insect Emperor chewed while analyzing the bloodline within, his compound eyes filled with a sense of expectation.

“These two powerful bloodlines are certainly capable of breeding the strongest offspring!”

After swallowing the shell piece, the belly of the Immortal Insect Emperor swelled before slowly moving towards the head. The Immortal Insect Emperor then spat out a blue and gold egg.

“Holy hell, is that the birth of a Vegeta-challenging half-dragon?!”

Bai Qi’s heart pounded. He could almost picture a boy with a monkey tail riding a golden cloud approaching him.

“But why did it spit the egg out? Shouldn’t the insects be…”

Bai Qi looked at the Immortal Insect Emperor in confusion and Yang Ming immediately explained, “The Immortal Insect Emperor… is male.”

“Male?!”

Bai Qi was stunned. From the sidelines, the bug began to shake its antennae as well.@@novelbin@@

So, he was just proposed to by a male insect?

“Yes, it’s male. But, the Immortal Insect Emperor has a special ability that allows it to use its powerful vitality to nurture offspring.”

Yang Ming patiently explained, not surprised by Bai Qi’s reaction.

After all, this situation was indeed absurd.

The effort of laying the egg seemed to take quite a toll on the Immortal Insect Emperor, who only recovered after a long while. Meanwhile, the giant blue-gold egg slowly started to crack open.

“It’s hatching already? Without incubating for a while?”

Stunned, Bai Qi thought: He could tolerate the insect laying eggs from its mouth, but how could the shell piece that was just swallowed birth a new species immediately?

Even the pigs in production units don’t give birth this quickly!

“There are always some primitive eggs stored in my body. All I did was inject the gene I extracted into one of them.”

The satisfied Immortal Insect Emperor was in a good mood and explained patiently, “Although its qualities cannot compare to an offspring that is cultivated from scratch, it’s sufficient to test the results.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. To the side, the bug was looking at the giant egg with anticipation.

Even though it didn’t share the birthing experience, the newborn bug shared his bloodline and he couldn’t hide his excitement.

Finally, the eggshell broke, revealing a blue and gold shelled ant in front of everyone.

“It really is a chimera ant.”

Bai Qi saw this and nodded slightly. Creating a new ant by combining superior genes was no different from operation on graft ants.

Rustling…

The newly born ant was clearly curious about this new world, and it kept looking around. When it saw the Immortal Insect Emperor, it respectfully lay down in front of the Immortal Insect Emperor.

The hierarchy among the ants was no worse than that among the undead. The newborn ant naturally did not dare to resist the Insect King who had nurtured it.

The Immortal Insect Emperor was also very satisfied with this new offspring. After a rustling conversation, the ant spread its wings and flew off.

Because it inherited the bloodline of the insect grass, the wings of this ant were also green-gold in color. When the wings flapped, one could occasionally see the virtual image of a Sun Wheel.

With the sunlight shining, the Sun Wheel gradually brightened, as if a small sun was rising in the Thundering Forest.

“Did it really inherit it?!”

Bai Qi was slightly surprised when he saw this. Initially, he had agreed to this deal for two reasons. One was that he did not want to get into a pointless dispute with a friendly legendary creature, and also to carry out an exchange.

The other reason was that Bai Qi wanted to see if this Immortal Insect Emperor could really pass on the consumed genes to its offspring.

But it seemed that it was actually possible?

As the Sun Wheel gradually brightened on the ant’s body, a second sun rose in the Thundering Forest. One could faintly sense the presence of a Giant Dragon.

“This power, it’s so strong!”

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, even though the Immortal Insect Emperor had said that it could not inherit these abilities, nor could its offspring inherit multiple bloodlines.

But even a Mythical bloodline could be inherited. Didn’t that mean that as long as enough resources were collected, an insect army composed entirely of Mythical bloodlines could be created?

Yang Ming was also excited. He had been defeated by insect grass at a higher level and knew how powerful the insect grass bloodline was.

If they could retain the bloodline of the insect grass, Cang Zhe Academy would have more powerful insect-system Beast Masters.

“Boss, the Power of the Great Sun in his body seems to be getting out of balance.”

Just then, the insect grass suddenly said something. It flapped its wings and flew towards the ant in the sky, and the Immortal Insect Emperor also sensed something, instantly appearing beside the ant.

But their movements were a little slow. The moment the Immortal Insect Emperor arrived in front of the ant, the skin of the ant slowly turned into ash and drifted away.

“What happened?”

Yang Ming was confused when he saw this, while the insect grass regretfully explained: “This ant indeed gained the ability to absorb the Power of the Great Sun, but it seemed to be unable to store it. It absorbed too much to sustain and just fell apart.”

“Couldn’t sustain?”

Bai Qi nodded when he heard this, looked at the Immortal Insect Emperor, and asked, “Does this have anything to do with the short incubation time?”

The Immortal Insect Emperor shook his head and said, “Not really, it simply couldn’t handle the Power of the Great Sun.”

With that, the Immortal Insect Emperor sighed and said, “Indeed, Mythical bloodlines aren’t so easy to bear.”

As soon as he said that, the Immortal Insect Emperor immediately looked at Bai Qi. Bai Qi was alert and directly packed away the Immortal Insect Exuviae.

“Don’t blame me if this fails. No returns or exchanges!”

Seeing this, the Immortal Insect Emperor couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word. I’m just curious about how you obtained the bloodline of the Sun Beetle?”

Bai Qi paused for a moment and selectively told the Immortal Insect Emperor about what had happened in the Sun Secret Realm.

“So that’s how it is. It’s the Inheritance Secret Realm. No wonder.”

The Immortal Insect Emperor felt somewhat regretful after hearing this. It was normal for him to be unable to replicate the Inheritance Secret Realm, which usually had its own special methods.

“Looks like I’ll have to try again after weakening this bloodline.”

The Immortal Insect Emperor paused before saying, “If possible, I would like to have a good discussion with this young man. Maybe we can find a solution.”

“Me? No, no, I’m not cut out for this!”

Upon hearing this, the insect grass shook its head repeatedly, directly hiding behind Bai Qi, and Nicholas also blocked the Immortal Insect Emperor cautiously.

If it were a female, that might be acceptable, and he might even be envious. But a male insect, better not.

“Actually, it’s not impossible. As far as I know, the main research business of the Bing Yu Branch of Super God Evolution Research Institute is studying various powerful bloodlines. If Master Bai Qi doesn’t mind, perhaps Cang Zhe Academy could cooperate with your institute.”

With a glint in his eyes, Yang Ming took the opportunity to make a suggestion to Bai Qi.

“I will go back and look into it first.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly when he heard this. He was not very familiar with the situation in several branches. Although he was the dean of the main institute, he did not usually interfere, and it was not a good idea to intervene arbitrarily in the branches’ affairs.

However, he understood why Yang Ming had brought him to visit the cultivation area as soon as they arrived. It turned out that they were planning to cooperate with Super God Evolution Research Institute.

“Okay, I’m waiting for Master Bai Qi’s response.”

Yang Ming nodded, then said, “Immortal Insect Emperor, I will take Master Bai Qi to continue our visit first. I will come back to you later.”

“Okay, I also need to go back and try again.”

The Immortal Insect Emperor looked at the insect grass with a bit of regret and then returned to the Thundering Forest again.

“Master Bai Qi, shall we continue?”

Yang Ming looked at Bai Qi and said, “It’s still early, would Master Bai Qi like to visit our other cultivation area?”

“Of course.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. The Cang Zhe Academy had a deep foundation, and it was always a good thing to learn more.
