Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 238

The faint sound made Ye Tian Xie suddenly turn around, his brows furrowing once again.

The two undead creatures that had fallen to the ground stood up once again, fully restored in life… and even their appearances underwent a drastic transformation. Had it not been for the disappearance of the two corpses on the ground, Ye Tian Xie might not have believed that they were regenerated from them.

Illusory Beast Undead—Qinglin Beast: Level 25 Two-Star Elite, Life 9000.

Illusory Beast Undead—Yinjiao Beast: Level 25 Two-Star Elite, Life 8950.

This once again inexplicable change left Ye Tian Xie momentarily stunned, his eyes narrowing as he stared fixedly at the two resurrected undead creatures. Their resurrection was not simply a matter of coming back to life… Death and revival were one thing, full restoration of life another, and a significant increase in power yet another… but even their species had changed.

Unicorns becoming Yinjiao Beasts, well, one might understand that as a furious evolution after resurrection… But Sabertooth Tigers becoming Qinglin Beasts, that’s a whole different story involving a change in appearance, title, traits, and skills—completely unrelated creatures, what on earth…

Illusory Beast Undead…『Illusory』, meaning capable of transformations, does it mean…

While Ye Tian Xie was pondering, Xiao Bei had already dashed forward, targeting the left side. As the Qinglin Beast was just taking shape, Xiao Bei’s Meow-Meow Punches had already greeted it.

-680, -676, -684, -672, -682, -679…

The Qinglin Beast had a high life value of 9000, but Xiao Bei’s barrage of attacks quickly halved it. By the time the Qinglin Beast realized who was attacking it, it roared imposingly to the sky, and then… there was no 『then』.

In 3 seconds… a level 25 two-star elite didn’t even have the chance to react before Xiao Bei devastated it to death. As soon as the Qinglin Beast fell, the Yinjiao Beast charged fiercely from behind. Xiao Bei didn’t panic; her delicate body spun around, and just as the Yinjiao Beast’s silver horn was about to touch her, she disappeared with a 『whoosh』and then reappeared behind the Yinjiao Beast, performing her signature miraculous Meow-Meow Step.

The Yinjiao Beast’s charge missed, and its back was immediately met with a rapid onslaught of Xiao Bei’s Meow-Meow Punches, its life quickly draining. As it turned around, it was greeted by a fierce and gorgeous Meow-Meow Kick from Xiao Bei…

The unicorn, like a kicked ball, was sent flying far away, crashing heavily against the wall and then sliding down slowly. Its life was also completely depleted.

Xiao Bei patted her cat paws (a habitual action), standing proudly beside Ye Tian Xie, casting a disdainful glance at the fallen Qinglin Beast and Yinjiao Beast as if to say,『Meow~~ such weak enemies don’t even require my master to make a move.』

The two undead creatures still did not drop any items, not even a single coin… as miserly as Ashen Sheep. Ye Tian Xie, thoughtful, watched their bodies. Sure enough, after just a dozen seconds, black smoke began to rise again from the quiet corpses, and his Evil Dragon’s Eyes immediately fixated on the swirling black mist.

The Power of the Dark Illusory Beast: In the ruins of the Illusory Beast Clan, the power of illusory beasts that has persisted from ancient times still exists. These powers have assimilated with the environment over a long time and autonomously attach to the bodies of undead, granting them the ability to transform. Moreover, the more an undead is defeated, the stronger the Dark Illusory Beast Power it absorbs, until it reaches its limit of endurance.

Ye Tian Xie: “…”

In the blink of an eye, the two reborn undead beasts stood before him again in a brand-new stance.

Crimson-Eyed Fanged Beast: Level 25 Three-Star Elite, Life 13,520

Golden-Horned Beast: Level 25 Three-Star Elite, Life 13,000

This time, they had evolved into two three-star elites.

Each time they died, their rank would increase by one level. If this continued, would they eventually transform into two Lord Bosses after the next resurrection? And if they were slain again… would they continue evolving even further…?

Even though they were level 25 three-star elites, Ye Tian Xie faced no pressure at all with his current strength. While Xiao Bei’s perception and reaction speed weren’t as sharp as Ye Tian Xie’s, it possessed a natural advantage with its petite size, high agility, and the mystical Meow-Meow Step. Facing a level 25 three-star elite alone posed no real threat to it.

From Xiao Bei’s Meow-Meow Kick earlier, the two beasts had already been knocked far apart. Now, one man and one cat each locked onto a target and launched their attacks. Ye Tian Xie rushed towards the more visually intimidating Crimson-Eyed Fanged Beast, unleashing a continuous barrage of Dragon Fissure Slashes, each strike landing heavily on the beast’s body while he nimbly evaded its counterattacks like a roaming dragon.

The defense of a three-star elite was undoubtedly far superior to that of a two-star elite, but with Ye Tian Xie’s immense offensive power, each Dragon Fissure Slash still dealt around 1,500 damage.

Ten seconds later, Ye Tian Xie successfully slaughtered the Crimson-Eyed Fanged Beast. When he turned around…

He found Xiao Bei already standing upright behind him, poised and composed. In the distance, the Golden-Horned Beast’s corpse lay motionless on the ground.

Ye Tian Xie: ╭(╯^╰)╮ (Xiao Bei, don’t you know that you’re not supposed to steal your master’s spotlight?!)

Xiao Bei: (>_<) (Wuu… Xiao Bei didn’t mean to! It was just too weak!)

Xiao Bei’s rank was classified as Celestial Spirit, but Ye Tian Xie was absolutely certain that with its extreme attributes and overwhelming skills, it was by no means weaker than a true Heavenly Absolute-tier pet.

Pets exceeding the Celestial Spirit tier were nearly impossible to exist. In fact, it was widely believed that they simply couldn’t appear, because for a player to possess a Celestial Spirit-tier pet, it would already be equivalent to equipping a Divine Mysterious-tier artifact, causing massive balance-breaking power gaps between players.

In terms of appearance, attributes, abilities… and even its very name, Xiao Bei was an absolute anomaly.

Take its attributes, for example… No matter the class, the four fundamental attributes never drop below 4 points at the most basic level, and it was theoretically impossible for a creature to have zero MP or magic attack… Yet, Xiao Bei had defied this rule outright.

As expected, the battle wasn’t over.

The two fallen undead creatures once again stood up under the influence of the Dark Illusory Beast’s power…

But unexpectedly, this time, they did not undergo further transformations. Instead, as if pulled by some unseen force, their bodies stiffened and began walking toward each other.

Ye Tian Xie frowned slightly.

The two beasts collided, and the gray mist surrounding their bodies began to merge, enveloping them completely.

Ye Tian Xie: “??”

Instantly, the black mist completely consumed their forms. Then, it began to expand. As it did, a deep, mournful roar echoed from within the dark mist, accompanied by a chilling, bloodthirsty aura. From within the fog, a pitch-black claw stepped forward—a presence so menacing that it sent chills down one’s spine.

As the black mist dispersed, the Crimson-Eyed Fanged Beast and the Golden-Horned Beast were gone. In their place stood a single beast… a massive, jet-black wolf.

Undead Demon Wolf: Level 30 Lord-level Boss, Life: 42,000

A powerful undead born from the fusion of two strong undead forces under the effect of the Dark Illusory Beast Power, characterized by its savage and bloodthirsty nature.

Talent: Undead Body.

Skills:

Dark Claw Split

Resentful Wolf Howl

Shadow Charge

Hidden Skill: Spirit of the Undying: Activates when health falls below 20%. The wolf will howl to the sky, gathering the surrounding undead energy to fully restore its health. Skill preparation time is 3-4 seconds.

Weaknesses: Susceptible to life-based, light-based, and fire-based attacks.

The Undead Demon Wolf… a level 30 lord-level boss. Moreover, this wolf was clearly formed by the fusion of the two previous undead beasts…

What a mysterious power of the Illusory Beast… What exactly is this power?

As a level 30 lord-level boss, Ye Tian Xie had to concentrate fully.

The serene Yao Yao spread out the pristine Wall of Heaven’s Blessing, enveloping Ye Tian Xie, Xiao Bei, and the Indestructible Demon Wolf within it. Ye Tian Xie glanced at Yao Yao, feeling the last bit of pressure dissipate. Against normal enemies, the Wall of Heaven’s Blessing merely supports oneself and allies, but against undead creatures, it adds a cruel property that increases the damage they receive by 50%.

After the Wall of Heaven’s Blessing was deployed, Yao Yao’s Mystic Spirit Healing was activated…

-18900!

45% of life stripped away, causing the Undead Demon Wolf’s life to drop nearly in half instantly. Ye Tian Xie stepped forward, delivering a heavy blow with Fate’s Judgment: Blood Execution.

-4200, -862.

Just born and not yet having the chance to attack, the Undead Demon Wolf’s life was already halved. It roared angrily and lunged forward, targeting Yao Yao, who had stripped it of most of its life.

Szzz~~~

Wall of Heaven’s Protection activated, completely blocking the Undead Demon Wolf’s attack outside the barrier. Yao Yao lay quietly, motionless, letting the Undead Demon Wolf’s furious attacks repeatedly hit the barrier. Meanwhile, Xiao Bei and Ye Tian Xie took this opportunity to position themselves on the left and right sides of the Undead Demon Wolf, attacking recklessly. The combined assault of the man and the cat, along with the densely popping damage numbers, made it even more chaotic, rapidly depleting the Undead Demon Wolf’s health bar.

The Undead Demon Wolf’s defense was incredibly high, able to offset nearly 300 points of base damage. However, within Yao Yao’s Wall of Heaven’s Blessing, the 50% additional damage nearly nullified the damage reduction from its high defense. Under the combined assault of Ye Tian Xie and Xiao Bei, the Undead Demon Wolf’s life was rapidly drained to near depletion.

When its health dropped to around 10%, the Undead Demon Wolf finally stopped attacking Yao Yao. It lifted its head and let out a piercing howl to the sky, beginning to activate its unique skill—《Spirit of the Undying》, which would completely restore its health.

However, under Ye Tian Xie’s Evil Dragon’s Eye, no hidden skills could escape his detection. Knowing of this ability in advance, how could he possibly allow it to activate?

As Spirit of the Undying was about to take effect, it was met with Xiao Bei’s powerful Meow-Meow Kick, capable of interrupting any skill.

With a single well-placed kick, Spirit of the Undying was sent flying—and the resurrection attempt was instantly disrupted.
