Chapter 528: Supreme Evil Spirit Sword! The Ghost Tide's Onslaught!

"I thought you'd at least wait until after the New Year's Day and finish the National Beastmaster Competition before coming here!"

Su Ping's arrival was as quiet as a mouse.

It caused no disturbance or attracted any attention.

Perhaps most people assumed he was still in North Cold City,

and not at the northernmost border camp of the Loong Kingdom.

In the central command room of the camp, Lord Leng spoke up.

Su Ping took a deep breath of the cold air as he entered, then said,

"I came because of a little situation, and also to check out the Heavenly Tomb and take care of things there."

Lord Leng's mouth twitched. The Heavenly Tomb was a matter of great concern even to the Holy Dragon Lord, but this young man seemed to be treating it like a trip to an amusement park.

Lord Leng spoke with gravity, "Su Ping, the Heavenly Tomb is no small matter. Don't be too confident! Be careful. If something goes wrong, it won't just be a loss for you, but a huge loss for the Loong Kingdom as well!"

Su Ping smiled and said, "Yes, sir. But this time, I do have some other business. Lord Leng, do you know where I can find the remains of a high-level Sacred Weapon Beast? The better preserved, the better."

"The remains of a Sacred Weapon Beast? What do you want that for?"

Apparently, when Yin Luo had come yesterday, he hadn't mentioned this matter to Lord Leng.

"It might be useful for pet evolution. After initial testing, it should be close enough, so I need the remains of a high-level Sacred Weapon Beast as breeding material."

"You want to use the remains of a Sacred Weapon Beast for breeding? What kind of strange breeding evolution are you planning to create, young man?"

Lord Leng was skeptical, but from a professional standpoint, he wouldn't argue with Su Ping, "What level do you need?"

"The higher the better!" Su Ping didn't even have to think about it.

Lord Leng clicked his tongue, and seeing the sparkle in Su Ping's eyes, he smiled,

"This Ghost Tide is being secretly manipulated by several Undead-type Holy Spirit-ranked beasts, but we haven't figured out exactly what kind of ferocious beasts they are yet.

However, among the two confirmed ferocious beasts, one of them is the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword!"

Su Ping's eyebrows rose, and his eyes lit up even more.

"A Holy Spirit-ranked Supreme Evil Spirit Sword? A high-level existence with both Undead and Tool-type forms? Has this thing appeared again?"

Lord Leng nodded, "This thing is extremely tricky to deal with. It commands a large number of Sword Ghosts, Sword Spirits, and the like. Although it hasn't directly attacked, its intimidating power is extremely strong, and it's one of the main targets and hypothetical enemies of my Ghost Dragon!"

"So, this thing isn't dead yet?"

"Of course not! It's a Holy Spirit-ranked Sacred Weapon Beast, and even among the Holy Spirit-ranked, it's considered a powerful existence. If it were that easy to kill, the Ghost Tide would have ended long ago!"

Lord Leng huffed in exasperation.

Su Ping, however, paid no attention to Lord Leng's grumbling.

His mind was filled with information about the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.

He truly knew about this creature, and not just from the knowledge he had hastily absorbed about Sacred Weapon Beasts on his way here.

Even before that, when he had learned about Yu Liangqing's 'Soul-Extinguishing Yanluo Sword', he had come across some information about this creature.

The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was a high-level, advanced race of Sacred Weapon Beast.

Currently, it was unknown what beast it evolved from, or if it was simply a naturally born Holy Spirit-ranked beast.

This creature seemed to exist only in the vicinity of the Loong Kingdom, and in history, there were almost no records of Beast Tamers taming it as a companion beast.

After activating his access rights and retrieving confidential information, Su Ping learned that the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword had been a major threat during the ancient Northern Undead Ghost Tide outbreaks.

So, Su Ping had reason to speculate that

the 'Soul-Extinguishing Yanluo Sword', the sword-type companion beast evolution created by Fengdu Sword King Yu Liangqing after dedicating his entire life, might have been targeting this Supreme Evil Spirit Sword when it mentioned 'extinguishing souls'!

This Fengdu Sword King seemed to have spent his entire life battling on the Northern Border battlefield.

His life's ambition was to annihilate the Heavenly Tomb's Ghost Tide in the Northern Border.

And if the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was his ultimate goal, it made sense.

This creature was indeed powerful.

In the Beastmaster's backend records, there were mentions of Holy Spirit-ranked Sacred Weapon Beasts, but the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was the only high-level existence among them.

Moreover, compared to other Sacred Weapon Beasts, this creature was extremely bizarre.

It was a 'Summoning' type beast, and in historical discoveries, this creature was always surrounded by countless Sword Ghosts, Sword Spirits, and similar entities.

The existence of Emperor Rank and lower-ranked Sword Puppets, even those of the Holy Spirit Rank, have all been recorded in history.

Moreover, the capabilities of these Sword Puppets themselves are extremely peculiar and powerful.

One can only imagine the level of threat they pose today.

However, despite this, upon hearing about this historically documented entity, Su Ping couldn't help but feel delighted.

If possible, wouldn't this be an excellent evolution material for Qian Yi? As for the threat?

Su Ping didn't care.

Lord Leng was in command,

And the Loong Kingdom's formidable strength was evident.

In truth, a beast tide of Holy Spirit Rank companion beasts, in essence, wouldn't pose a significant crisis.

The real concern lies in places like the Ten Thousand Mountains, a life-forbidden zone with legends of the Divine Wood, a life-type spirit of the highest caliber.

This Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, a sword-type tool companion beast with death magic attributes,

If that's the case, this trip to the North Border Province is indeed well-timed.

With his worries lifted, Su Ping's mood relaxed:

"Lord Leng, how's the battlefield situation?"

Lord Leng shook his head, "It's manageable. We've been holding them off, occasionally launching moderate-scale attacks, but there's no sign of a full-scale assault. Instead, every few nights, there are small-scale invasions, but the impact is minimal."

"However, we're cautious of their potential hidden motives. Your father's hunch might be similar to the previous incident similar to the one in the East Sea. This suppression is a sacrificial offering, sacrificing these souls to the Heavenly Tomb, which might be planning something."

Hmm?

Su Ping raised his eyebrows, "What does that mean? Could it be that the Heavenly Tomb has already opened? But isn't the Heavenly Tomb inaccessible to higher-level beings?"

"Of course, it hasn't opened. Numerous proofs have verified that only the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal can grant entry. But the Heavenly Tomb you mentioned is not the same as the one commonly referred to!"

As Lord Leng explained, Su Ping grew more perplexed.

The former didn't elaborate further.

Instead, with a thought, a holographic screen appeared before Su Ping.

A photo appeared, showing a vast overhead view.

Yet, the image revealed a vast darkness.

The next moment, as the perspective zoomed in, Su Ping finally understood what he was seeing.

Countless blackened stone tablets, strange dark lands, and within this scene, a massive expanse of darkness.

Lord Leng pointed at the image, "In layman's terms, this entire area is part of the Heavenly Tomb! The Heavenly Tomb is not just a secret realm entrance or a mere burial mound; it's a vast undead nation! A land of the dead, where ordinary beast tamers and their beasts, upon entering, must withstand the colder temperature compared to the outside world and resist the oppressive corrosion of the deathly aura."

"This is a paradise for death magic-type companion beasts, but for most other attribute beasts, it's challenging to stay for long, let alone venture deep into the center of the Heavenly Tomb City!"

Lord Leng pointed to a direction, but even with the satellite-like image, the very center remained obscured, like a drop of ink on a photograph.

The dense darkness concealed the most crucial part.

Su Ping nodded, finally understanding the situation.

He was surprised, "Lord Leng, didn't you say that the undead in the vicinity of the Heavenly Tomb had been cleared? We even entered and saw the tomb's core, but now..."

Lord Leng sighed,

"As I mentioned, that was a recent event, many years ago.

I remember I also told you that the frequency of the undead pet beasts appearing around the Heavenly Tomb is hundreds of times higher than in ordinary places! Ultimately, the core is the Heavenly Tomb itself! Only by truly opening the Heavenly Tomb and uncovering its secrets can we achieve a permanent solution."

Su Ping nodded:

"However, the existence of the Heavenly Tomb isn't necessarily all bad."

Lord Leng was taken aback, then nodded after a moment of thought: "That's true."

Speaking of which, Su Ping remembered the other person he had brought:

"Right, Lord Leng, where is Camp Leader Lu?"

"You brought that kid? He's waiting for you with your father's squad! Go find him first. If you need anything, come back to me. Xiao Xing, take Su Ping to Captain Su."

Lord Leng waved his hand.

Su Ping also nodded. Just before leaving, he seemed to think of something:

"Right, Lord Leng, if another Ghost Tide comes, don't forget to tell me. I've never experienced such a scene before."

"Get lost, you little brat. You always give me a headache the moment you show up."

Laughing, Su Ping followed Xing Cheng into a vehicle, arriving at a relatively secluded and remote area of the camp, even isolated from the main legion area.

This place was relatively small, looking like a small town at first glance.

This was the training and garrison area for the Heavenly Tomb Special Beastmaster Legion.

Su Ping didn't rush to greet his father, whom he hadn't seen for over a month.

Instead, after showing his credentials with Xing Cheng, he headed to the nearby training ground.

Upon entering this special segregated area, Su Ping saw that, apart from the special equipment fields, many people were in the central training ground.

Including his father and Master Yin Luo.

Each of the crew-cut figures was seated on the ground with their eyes closed, spaced far apart.

In front of each of them, familiar pet beasts were placed: the Five Elements Paper Spirits.

Every so often, waves of mental ripples would emanate from each figure.

Some even broke through a minor realm directly.

Back then, that special arrangement led to a rather unique process for nurturing Heavenly Tomb pet beasts, with the contract pet beasts and the beastmasters being separated.

Now, with the evolution and nurturing complete, these members of the Special Beastmaster Legion still had to train with these Five Elements Paper Spirits and the previous Night Raven Automatons.

The workload in such a short time was considerable.

Su Ping's gaze swept over each figure.

There were fewer than a hundred people in this squad, but each of these less than a hundred Overlord Rank beastmasters exuded a unique, hardened, and iron-blooded aura.

One look at them was enough to put anyone at ease.

In the end, it would be this squad of fewer than a hundred people who would accompany him into the Heavenly Tomb.

If possible, Su Ping did not want to see these people die because of him.

But perhaps they were already prepared for this.

From the Heavenly Tomb in the Eagle Kingdom, countless Overlord Rank beastmasters had died before it could be developed.

With just these few people, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the cracks in the Heavenly Tomb in the Eagle Kingdom's Great Rift!

Su An Yong had already seen him.

But the two didn't talk much. Su Ping's father, dressed in military uniform, was patrolling around the figures, which was something Su Ping had never seen before.

He truly had a sense of authority, almost as if he were a different person from the Su An Yong he had known for so many years.

The last time the father and son met was less than two months ago, so there was no need for idle chatter.

Both knew what they were here for, and there was no time for idle talk.

Su Ping didn't pay much attention to Su An Yong, instead focusing on the Night Raven Automaton reconnaissance squad in the camp.

This time, when Jian Yue went to the Heart of All Souls, they exchanged Death Mutation breeding techniques, but Su Ping had never had the time to properly examine them.

Without the pet beasts being bred, just looking at the breeding methods wasn't very meaningful.

Now, he finally got to see the Death Mutation Night Raven Automatons with his own eyes.

However, before dinner, just as the sky was darkening, a phone call came to Su An Yong.

The news that Su Ping was both looking forward to and feeling somewhat nervous indeed came.

Another small-scale Ghost Tide attack had begun.
