Once only Wen Yu and Bai remained in the Ruler's Hall, Wen Yu stood up, adjusted his clothing, and then looked at Bai.
"Let's begin," he said, and then took out the Sealing Sphere containing the baru demon beast from his Spatial Ring.
Wen Yu didn't seem to have much to say to Bai either. Bai understood their current positions, merely focusing on the baru demon beast in Wen Yu's hand, ignoring Wen Yu's indifference. As Wen Yu crushed the Sealing Sphere, the body of the baru demon beast rapidly expanded in the wind. Soon, its several thousand-meter-long body filled the entire Ruler's Hall.
The freed baru demon beast tilted its head in doubt, its long tongue flicking in and out as it sensed everything in this place—however, the feedback it received caused the baru demon beast to immediately shrink back.
The atmosphere was oppressive, filled with murderous intent and traps, with countless auras that seemed divine spreading throughout every corner. The sporadic emanation of energy made the baru demon beast tense up.
Just a few seconds later, the baru demon beast retracted its tongue, lying on the ground with its head pulled in, trembling like a curled-up meatball.
“He’s almost scared to death,” Bai said, floating in midair while looking at the baru demon beast on the ground. He couldn't help but show a funny expression, while Wen Yu, not wanting to torment his anticipated ninth spirit pet, released a surge of soul power that quickly shielded the baru demon beast's senses and affected its behavior.
“Goo goo goo goo…” The baru demon beast chirped incessantly, its instincts telling it that it needed to quickly absorb energy to produce a new baru avatar. Then, it felt a crisp “crack” from deep within its throat, as if something inside had suddenly shattered, followed by a surge of fierce and pure energy!
This was a small trick Wen Yu had used on the baru demon beast earlier, and now, this self-damaging little thing had lost all value of existence.
The energy surged into the baru demon beast's body, causing its strength to soar once again and even providing ample energy for reproduction—suddenly, a large bulge formed on the right side of its body. As the slime brewed and the energy transferred, the bulge quickly grew to half the size of its body, and then with a “pop,” a baru demon beast that was only slightly smaller than the maternal body peeked out.
“Ugh, that’s really disgusting!” The baru demon beast's skill system was indeed very tempting to Wen Yu, but this scene of reproduction seemed to awaken past memories within him. Only now did Wen Yu remember that the skill of splitting and reproducing was not only terrifying, but its activation would also bring significant psychological pressure on enemies and even the host itself.
Imagining a large bulge growing on his body, then “pop!”—puss splattering everywhere, and a “Wen Yu avatar” drilling out from within him…
This imagined scene made Wen Yu’s throat itch, and he couldn't help but feel nauseated.
“Don’t give it to me.”
However, Bai lightly licked his lips, as if he saw some delicious dish.
To this, Wen Yu ignored him and once again unleashed soul energy to influence the baru demon beast's judgment and senses.
Mysterious skill fluctuations erupted from the baru demon beast maternal body and enveloped the newly split avatar. As the energy continued to deplete, the newly born baru demon beast avatar grew larger and larger until it matched its maternal body, albeit lacking a bit of agility, and only then did the process of homogenous transformation completely end.
“Goo goo.” The two baru demon beasts simultaneously cried out, seemingly engaged in some bizarre communication. Seeing this, Wen Yu paid no mind to what these two creatures were saying. He merely used Creation Energy to reshape a new Sealing Sphere, sealing the baru demon beast inside and returning it to the Spatial Ring.
“I’ll give you the remaining one,” Wen Yu said, prompting Bai to take action.
