Beast Taming: My System is Bugged

Chapter 543 - 525: In a Split Second

Lurking in the shadows to the side and rear of the Pill Fire Beast, Ah Ji’s mismatched eyes suddenly flared to life.

Its left eye, blazing white like the midday sun.

Its right eye, as profound as the midnight sky.

It abruptly crossed its claws before its chest, its fur bristling into sharp spikes as it let out a silent shriek.

"SCREEE—!"

The spiritual shriek was the first to erupt.

At this moment, it unleashed its Spiritual Awakening Technique—a highly condensed attack that broke through its own limits.

The invisible Spiritual Waves bypassed the violent, seven-colored flames covering the Pill Fire Beast’s body, piercing straight into its soul core, which had grown agitated and unstable from the surge of Power.

This strike perfectly amplified the internal chaos caused by overexertion and the presence of a foreign energy.

At almost the exact same instant the spiritual shriek was unleashed...

The shadows around Ah Ji began to boil like living ink.

Shadow Mimicry: Profound Celestial Ghost Soul.

Its shadow suddenly swelled and stretched, forming the indistinct silhouette of a majestic and ancient phantom beast, vaguely resembling a creature of Chaos.

Compared to its previous dozens of battles...

Now, with its power fully unleashed, it had elevated its interpretation of the Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul’s combat Divine Charm to a new Realm, incorporating its own insights.

At this moment, Shadow Mimicry and Shadow Cloak were no longer just simple imitations. They had combined with its Spiritual Awakening Technique to create a powerful synergy—a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

The massive figure emanated a heavy spiritual pressure, seemingly possessing the might of a spatial domain.

At the Three-star Realm, the Spiritual Power Ah Ji radiated was already far stronger than that of most Four-star Spiritual Pet Beasts.

Combined with the exalted nature of the Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul’s form, its spiritual combat power neared the Five-star level.

Then, the flowing shadows from the Shadow Cloak skill on Ah Ji’s body seemed to come alive, rapidly climbing and covering the Profound Celestial Ghost Soul phantom, filling it in and making it solid.

The shadows twisted and hardened, transforming into sharp, angular plates of Ghost Armor that flowed with a dark luster, merging perfectly with the Profound Celestial Ghost Soul phantom.

It ultimately formed the Ghost Armor Form of the Profound Celestial Beast Ghost Soul—a figure over a hundred times larger than Ah Ji, hovering dozens of meters tall behind it, as if it had just strode out from the underworld.

The instant the form solidified, Ah Ji’s right claw was already charged to its absolute limit.

The originally blazing white energy of its Blazing Light Fist strangely began to merge with the Power of Shadow flowing across the Ghost Armor.

At the same time, its own surging Spiritual Power rushed forth, fusing with the concentrated light and shadow in its right claw.

Purplish-black patterns stained the blazing white light, and while the glow became more subdued, it felt even heavier.

The air around the fist warped into watery ripples from the intense heat and pressure, accompanied by concentric Spiritual Ripples, imperceptible to the naked eye, vibrating in sync.

"Blazing Light·Soul Shattering Fist!"

Ah Ji’s mental command echoed across the field.

Ah Ji’s body and the Ghost Armor phantom behind it moved in perfect sync, becoming a blurry streak of light.

With the unstoppable force of a head-on assault, it struck straight for the enemy’s core.

Its target was the base of the fiery horn on the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast’s forehead—the point where its energy was most concentrated, and which it couldn’t easily move while spewing the Seven-Turns Limit-Breaking Flame.

This was a three-in-one strike combining the Light, Spiritual, and Dark Attributes, its power far exceeding the ordinary.

Though it takes many words to describe, everything happened in a flash—almost simultaneously with the Pill Fire Beast spewing its Seven-Colored Flame Pillar and Ah Kun unleashing its Whale Leap.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cyan Treasure had already broken free from Ah Ji’s disguise and was now facing Gu Ming from across the battlefield.

It faced the Seven-Colored Flame Pillar before it, which pulsed with an ominous aura, and the increasingly bizarre fluctuations from within the Pill Fire Beast’s body.

A pure light reflected in its jade-like, vertical pupils.

Gu Ming took a deep breath, closed his eyes to focus, and unreservedly linked the greater part of his Divine Sense to Cyan Treasure.

He began to chant in a low voice. It wasn’t loud, but it carried a peculiar, piercing quality, as if striking at the very rules of existence:

"Fiends and specters, evils in shadows creep."

With each syllable he uttered, his expression grew more solemn.

His Divine Sense surged into Cyan Treasure’s body like fuel tossed into a fire.

Cyan Treasure raised its serpentine head. From the gaps between its jade-like scales, a pure, gentle radiance, like moonlight, began to flow.

It opened its maw and let out a hiss, its rhythm perfectly matching Gu Ming’s spoken words, yet sounding far more ancient and esoteric.

It was a Spell spoken in its unique serpent tongue:

"Hisss... (My heart is my own; be ye undone!)"

A dual-language resonance!

Human speech to guide, serpent tongue to respond!

The cadences of the two different systems bizarrely intertwined and resonated, like an invisible key beginning to pry open the "unnatural" laws of power that permeated the battlefield—especially those affecting the Pill Fire Beast.

With Gu Ming and Cyan Treasure as the epicenter, the pure, gentle radiance rapidly spread outward.

The light of the Decurse Technique washed over the surrounding Space like a flowing stream.

Wherever the light touched, the rampaging Fire Element and chaotic Space Ripples in the air seemed to be momentarily soothed and purified.

More wondrous still, under the illumination of this "Light of True Wisdom"...

Deep within the magnificent, seven-colored flames on the Red-scaled Dan Fire Beast’s body, a few extremely faint, twisted, and ominous dark-red and murky-black patterns began to appear, like stains revealed by a developing agent!

Those were signs that the foul residual energy from a Demon Transformation Pill was being activated by the stimulus of the Seven-Turned Combined Refining Pill!

At that moment, Gu Ming’s and Cyan Treasure’s minds seemed to be drawn out of their bodies and into a profound spiritual world, one constructed by their shared will and the resonant Spell.

Jiang Chen and the Pill Fire Beast shuddered, their consciousnesses also dragged into that space to face the light of the Decurse Technique.

Here, Cyan Treasure had become a sacred serpent of light coiling in the void, its head held high as it endlessly recited the serpent-tongue Spell.

Gu Ming, on the other hand, had become a torch guiding the light. He sacrificed his own Divine Sense to fully support his Pet Beast, coordinating with the operation of the Demon Suppression Spell’s Decurse Technique.

Back in the real world, the radiance around Cyan Treasure grew ever more brilliant.

It pushed the Light Spiritual Root within its body to the limit. Its jade-like form became almost transparent, revealing the Light Veins within.

Veins bulged on Gu Ming’s forehead and his temples throbbed. His Divine Sense was being consumed at an alarming rate, like water bursting through a floodgate.

The rate of consumption shocked Gu Ming; it far surpassed what he’d experienced when dealing with Mr. Tree’s clone.

’Just how corrupted is this opponent?’

This Decurse Technique, a relic from the future, was not easy to use.

To dispel a falsehood, one needed a corresponding amount of energy.

Even with the Light Attribute’s bonus damage against the Dark Attribute, which could quickly create an opening, he hadn’t expected Jiang Chen’s Pet Beast, having been to the Inner World, to harbor so much more hidden darkness than he’d imagined.

Then again, perhaps it was because Mr. Tree had only been a mere sliver of a clone, not the real entity. His current opponent, however, was a Pet Beast’s main body, so the consumption wasn’t on the same Quantity Level.

But Gu Ming’s gaze remained firm.

’Since I’ve decided to help, I’ll see this through to the very end.’

’I’ll let him, and all the spectators, see the traces of Demonization.’

At this moment, brilliant lights shot across the battlefield in a dazzling display. Even the commentators were at a loss for words, unsure of what part of the action to describe first.
