Chapter 535: Success! The First Annihilation Eye Demon!

Chapter 535: Success! The First Annihilation Eye Demon!

In the training grounds of the Tomb of Heaven's Special Beast Taming Corps, members of the Special Beast Taming Corps who had just returned from the Mausoleum Environment Simulation Chamber and the Death Energy Erosion Training were gathered behind a glass wall, whispering to each place.

"Hey, what are the instructor and Li doing out there? Sunbathing?"

"Sunbathing for several hours straight? I heard that Li didn't participate in the afternoon training and was busy with this."

"Master Yin is also here, he must be breeding his pet beast!"

"Nonsense, didn't the instructor say that pet beast breeding was already completed? This time, the main focus of the Tomb of Heaven expedition is to breed those origami people and scarecrows, right? What else could they be breeding?"

"Yeah, but speaking of which, those origami people are too powerful. That Five Elements Paper Spirit, when fully activated, seems capable of effortlessly transcending ranks and defeating Dominion-ranked beasts!"

Some were amazed, and after witnessing the power of the Five Elements Paper Spirit in the first simulation training, they were all extremely satisfied.

"Of course, do you know what it means to be selected for the Special Beast Taming Corps? Don't just focus on the pet beasts. You should understand that greater abilities come with greater responsibilities!" A young man of similar age admonished them.

"Yes, Vice-Captain!"

"Captain Zhao, do you know what Li and the instructor are doing out there?"

Obviously, after this brief interruption, the conversation returned to the scene before them.

Captain Zhao shook his head, but soon, his gaze fell upon a young man among them whom he had never seen before, as well as the two Eye Demons in front of the young man.

One of them was clearly Li Feng's adult Eye Demon, which he was very familiar with since he also had one.

However, he had no idea what they were doing at the moment.

But he remembered that in the morning, Li Feng had asked him to help with something.

Out of the hundred members of the Tomb of Heaven squad, how many had Eye Demons as their pet beasts?

Could it be that the scene before them was related to his question? Were they really breeding the Eye Demons? But the breeding posture seemed too bizarre.

Vice-Captain Zhao also crouched behind the glass wall of the training room, observing the people lying on the ground in the training grounds, chatting leisurely, and the two Eye Demons lying beside them, also basking in the sun.

As a pet beast of the undead type, Eye Demons naturally disliked sunlight.

Yet, they were now soaking in the sun as part of their breeding process? He couldn't understand it.

Compared to him, some of the others present seemed equally perplexed.

While Li Feng was anxious and concerned about the breeding process, Su Anyong understood the significance of having a powerful pet beast for the Tomb of Heaven squad, and Master Yin Luo was aware of the difficulty of evolving and breeding Annihilation Eye Demons.

At this moment, Su Ping seemed a bit too relaxed.

"Hmm...hmm..."

The soft snores were barely audible, almost imperceptible.

But was this appropriate?

They were currently breeding pet beasts.

And this young man, who had confidently declared his intentions, was lying on the training grounds without even a pillow, fast asleep.

The glaring sunlight seemed to have no effect on his excellent sleep quality.

The Eye Demon breeding beside him didn't require much of his attention either. After discussing the specific breeding instructions with Li Feng and Yin Luo, he simply fell asleep.

And he slept soundly.

Leaving the three people and two Eye Demons in the room, staring at each other.

However, they remembered Su Ping's words clearly, and indeed, they hadn't been idle this afternoon.

Using the Sunspring Water as eye drops, Li Feng's Eye Demon unleashed its 'Eyes of Annihilation' skill, causing the mature Eye Demon brought by Yin Luo that morning, the evolution subject for this breeding process, to remain in a state of visual deprivation, staring motionlessly at the sun above.

The young man slept soundly.

But the three people beside him dared not relax for a moment.

Staring directly at the sun was a challenging task for even mid-to-high-level Beastmasters, and Eye Demons, being undead creatures, were natural enemies of the sun.

Although Master Yin Luo knew this was a necessary step in breeding Annihilation Eye Demons, no one could be certain about the evolution method modified by Su Ping, not even with their absolute trust in him.

As for Li Feng, he needed to control his own Eye Demon to activate its 'Eyes of Annihilation' skill when the effect of 'Big Eye's' visual deprivation was about to wear off.

For an entire afternoon, Su Ping was completely focused.

Only Su Ping himself slept comfortably.

However, this process wasn't just for one afternoon.

Su Anyong felt helpless, but he had to admit that every time his son arrived at a place, it would stir up many things.

With Li Feng absent from the Tomb of Heaven's training, as the team leader, there were bound to be some issues.

Su Anyong waved his hand decisively.

He gave the Tomb of Heaven's Special Forces a break.

For the next two days, the entire Tomb of Heaven's forces knew that the son of Instructor Su was the breeder for the Tomb of Heaven's forces.

This little breeder, Su, would join them in entering the Tomb of Heaven.

At this moment, he was even thinking of ways to help most of the Tomb of Heaven's forces evolve their Eye Demon companion beasts.

His mind couldn't settle down, and the training's effectiveness was minimal.

So, amidst this intense breeding rhythm, he might as well take a rest.

He could also observe Su Ping's breeding.

That night, the Ghost Tide didn't appear.

Or, even if it did, Su Ping didn't intend to continue participating.

His entire mind was on the breeding of the Annihilation Eye Demon.

Even though the breeding method had been established, when faced with Master Yin Luo's inquiries, Su Ping still needed to share his breeding ideas and thoughts.

Of course, this breeding idea was actually quite simple.

Drawing a target based on the arrow's trajectory, if he couldn't even draw it correctly, Su Ping might as well bash his head against a tofu block.

Moreover, with the correct answer for reference, Su Ping's breeding theory was indeed self-consistent.

His explanation was so reasonable that Master Yin couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Su Ping's identity as a genius breeder didn't require any further proof.

Therefore, at this time, his monstrous performance wouldn't make too many people feel particularly baffling.

It was as if this was something he was supposed to accomplish.

Precisely because of this, Su Ping didn't need to pay special attention to others' thoughts.

Hence, the breeding of the Annihilation Eye was smoother than he had imagined.

Even though the Eye Demon named 'Big Eye' by Su Ping might not have particularly good talent,

After staring at the sun for five hours on the first day, and then an entire day on the second day, coupled with the continuous use of 'Sunspring Water' as an auxiliary breeding tool,

Even so, it wasn't until the noon of the third day that it stared at the sun for over seventeen hours, and then a special skill appeared:

[Light Concentration (Beginner): A basic Radiance skill, which can passively attract local radiance to concentrate on oneself, usually appearing on Radiance tool-type companion beasts, can accelerate certain energy recovery effects, and also has a certain Radiance projection effect.]



A very ordinary, very ordinary skill.

Su Ping knew where this skill had appeared on a Radiance tool.

The elite-level companion beast of the Radiance class: Focus Ring.

It was a companion beast similar to a magnifying glass, which could enhance the concentrated light's effect.

Now, this skill appeared on the unrelated Eye Demon.

This was enough to prove that Su Ping's breeding improvement had achieved results.

With the second phase completed, the breeding of the Annihilation Eye didn't require much time.

However, the next step required extreme caution; one mistake could not only render the previous three days' preparation futile but also potentially affect Big Eye's life safety.

At this moment, many Tomb of Heaven members were also sitting on the training ground, watching Su Ping and the others in the center under the sunlight.

Li Feng looked at Su Ping's solemn expression and subconsciously wanted to chase the onlookers away, but Su Ping stopped him:

"No need, they can watch if they want to. Master Yin, are the things ready?"

"Ready!"

Master Yin Luo took out an extra-large jar from the Beastmaster's space.

The jar contained colorful water, which shimmered in the sunlight, and even a mini rainbow appeared on the jar's surface.

A fusion of Sunspring Water, Rainbow Dew, Life Water, and other resources.

All were Radiance and Life class.

For the Eye Demon, this jar wasn't an enticing precious resource; one might even say it was a jar of poison, a poison that would take half its life if it didn't kill it.

If not for Su Ping's innate sense of closeness and his strange fear and fanaticism towards Su Ping, the Eye Demon might have quit earlier during these days of sunbathing.

But now, facing this large jar of 'poison' and following Su Ping's instructions, the Eye Demon resisted but still leaped into it.

Then, it exerted its full strength to display its Light Concentration ability.

Suddenly, the jar became a light source.

Bright and somewhat scary.

Su Ping furrowed his brows.

Then he decisively used the Spirit Eye.

Under the dazzling light, the true situation inside the jar was revealed.

As expected, in this situation, the undead Eye Demon didn't even have the chance to let out a wail, as its enormous eye immediately turned white, clearly fainting from the pain.

And soon after, the wrapped wraith body, under the torment of such contrasting forces, also released a wisp of pitch-black smoke, showing signs of disintegration.

Su Ping understood that Big Eye's realm barely met the evolution requirements of the Annihilating Eye, and its realm hadn't reached its peak state.

In this situation, the tolerance for evolution was indeed a bit lacking.

Fortunately, his control was still there.

Under such resource torment, Big Eye couldn't even last more than ten minutes.

In just five or six minutes, the giant eyeball's body began to dissipate.

The entire body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Su Ping immediately stretched out his hand, and his powerful mental power separated the light and resources, rescuing the Eye Demon from the brink of disintegration and placing it on the Soulstone he had prepared earlier.

The Soulstone, for creatures with weak mental power and will, could call for the gathering of self-awareness, but its energy effect was not concentrated. It was mainly used to treat Beastmasters or bonded beasts who had become 'vegetables' due to mental shocks.

And now, for the Eye Demon, it was just right.

At the same time, two completely contradictory energy supply resources were taken out, and Su Ping's eyes remained calm.

In fact, this step was relatively troublesome.

The Eye Demon's realm hadn't reached its peak, and at this moment when it was about to complete its energy evolution, the demand was even greater than that of higher-level beings, requiring more consumption. Fortunately, he now had more than enough of these Monarch-level resources.

Three portions of Dawn Seed and Nether Water were prepared.

Without a second thought, after Big Eye's consciousness slightly recovered but its body remained scattered, he pushed these two resources into it.

As expected, after using the first portion, although a rich evolution light emerged, the evolution wasn't complete. Only after using both portions did a true surge of evolution light appear.

It evolved!

All members of the Heavenly Tomb forces who had Eye Demon bonded beasts excitedly and tensely clenched their fists.

They looked at the evolution light.

However, Yin Luo and Su Anyong showed no excitement at all.

Instead, they continued to wait, as they were aware of the original Annihilation Eye Demon's aftermath. The original Annihilation Eye Demon had also completed its evolution, but after multiple battles, it was completely devoured and died, and this was an irreversible backlash.

This situation, where evolution was only completed, was not enough to indicate that Su Ping had solved the aftermath of the Annihilation Eye Demon.

Fortunately, twenty minutes passed quickly.

The evolution light slowly dissipated.

Within the light cocoon, the figure that had been awakened early for evolution slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

However, this evolved Eye Demon stunned everyone present, including Yin Luo, who had seen the Annihilation Eye Demon before.

What appeared was no longer recognizable as an Eye Demon.

The previous undead aura and terrifying, bizarre appearance had undergone a dramatic change.

It was a virtual eye.

Like a circular vertical pupil, it had an indescribable sacred and majestic aura with its dark golden vertical pupil.

This form was completely different from the original Annihilation Eye Demon!

And this evolved body couldn't be considered the Annihilation Eye Demon either.

The Spirit Eye was activated, gazing at the Big Eye in front of it.

This was the first truly evolved Annihilating Eye.

【Annihilating Eye - Wild】

【Attributes: Light, Spirit】

【Age: 9 months, 5 days】

【Current Level: Overlord Seventh Rank】

【Race Limit: Monarch Tenth Rank】

【Skills: Annihilation Beam (Beginner), Mental Surveillance (Beginner), Light Connection (Beginner), Light Concentration (Skilled)】

Feeling this Annihilating Eye, Su Ping not only didn't feel excited about the evolution's success but slightly frowned, feeling doubtful.

Five skills? For a Monarch-level bonded beast, it only had one more skill than the worst.

It certainly couldn't be considered an excellent evolution, right?

Of course, the effect of the Annihilation Beam was such that even with just this one skill, its value on the battlefield, especially in large-scale battles, was unimaginable.

However, Su Ping's focus was obviously not on these.

He stared at this strange, dark golden vertical pupil, as if it were a manifestation of light, and fell into deep thought.

What kind of cultivation achievement was this thing that made the Universal Spirit Codex require 20,000 universal experience points to unlock the second breeding method?

What secret was hidden in that second breeding method?
