Chapter 802: Bai San Submits
After discovering that Ye Lin was not coming to chase him, Bai San became even more excited.
Freedom!
Freedom was right before his eyes!
He would no longer be trapped in that sunless Human Emperor Flag; what awaited him was a brand-new, beautiful world!
"It is... the taste of freedom!"
Bai San could not even help but close his eyes and become intoxicated.
He did not notice at all that a greenish-blue fire had ignited ahead, and one undead creature after another was crawling out from the ground, forming an impassable chasm!
Bai San, having just approached the edge, was met with a head-on blow from the undead creatures; a large skeleton wielding a bone club gave him a direct, jarring strike to the head.
Bai San wanted to scream, but the sound that came out when he opened his mouth was:
"Meow!"
The double insurance Ye Lin had set up did not stop those great cultivators, but it had stopped Bai San first.
Under attack, Bai San was still unwilling to give up and wanted to change direction to escape.
He transformed into a round-headed beast and darted off in another direction!
However, no matter where he went, what greeted Bai San was always an endless sea of undead creatures.
As long as Ye Lin, the creator, did not die, the Undead Return Realm could not be broken from within.
Since ancient times, countless billions of living beings had died, and all of them became the source of power for the Undead Return Realm.
As long as Ye Lin was still alive, he could continuously summon undead creatures to block Bai San’s path.
After trying dozens of times, a feeling of despair gradually grew in Bai San’s heart.
He couldn't escape!
He simply couldn't escape!
But to make him turn back and attack Ye Lin, he had even less courage for that.
"Why must you struggle?"
Ye Lin sighed faintly and used his beast-taming methods to reach out toward Bai San.
"Be good, listen to me, and acknowledge me as your master; at least you can live with a physical body from now on and won't need to hide in the Human Emperor Flag anymore."
Bai San wanted to say the words "don't even think about it," but as soon as he opened his mouth, it turned into a hissing snarl!
Having finally seen a glimmer of hope for freedom, even if it meant being smashed to pieces, Bai San had to try!
"Sigh, you really are disobedient."
Ye Lin raised his hand.
"Forbidden Spell: World-Destroying Mad Thunder!"
A violent, surging thunderbolt smashed down toward Bai San; since Bai San would not listen, Ye Lin could only beat him until he did.
Bai San instantly arched his back, opened his large mouth, and swallowed the surging thunderbolt directly into his belly.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast; unless one's strength far exceeded that of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, most attacks were difficult to be effective against it.
But the moment the lightning vanished, Ye Lin appeared, carrying the Bronze Dragon Vein Tripod.
The formidable physical strength of the Thousand Tribulations Saint Body drove the Bronze Dragon Vein Tripod to swing directly onto Bai San’s body.
Bai San was sent flying, his four cute little paws carving a series of gullies into the ground.
Bai San stood up on his hind legs and swept out with his two sharp claws; where the claw tips passed, small black whirlpools emerged, devouring everything in their path.
Ye Lin’s expression grew a bit more solemn; this Heaven-Swallowing Beast was even more terrifying than he had imagined. If it possessed such fierce power with only a trace of the ancient Four Fiends' bloodline, how terrifying would the true ancient Four Fiend Taotie be if it appeared in the world?
The Life-Severing Sword appeared in his hand, and Ye Lin unleashed the Blood Sacrifice Sword Art, slashing out with a crimson sword light toward the black whirlpool.
Black and red intertwined, causing the entire secret chamber to tremble incessantly.
"Second Form: Life Severing!"
Ye Lin struck with another sword; the sword light was unstoppable, and with the blessing of countless years of lifespan, this strike almost sought to pierce the firmament.
"Roar—!"
Bai San roared, his mouth splitting all the way to his ears as he opened it wide; deep within his maw, a whirlpool resembling a nebula emerged.
Ye Lin only felt the surrounding space-time beginning to distort; his body, along with everything around him, was flying toward Bai San’s mouth.
After possessing the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, Bai San had clearly begun to master the beast's abilities.
Seeing this, Ye Lin took out the Heart Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner and swung it hard!
The hundred-thousand-strong Thousand Star Legion rushed out, heading straight for the whirlpool in Bai San’s mouth, wave after wave, forcefully blocking the suction of the vortex.
At the same time, Ye Lin held the Heart Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner and directly cast a forbidden technique.
"Forbidden Spell: Nether Ghost Fire!"
Boom!
Black flames swept through the entire secret chamber, gradually condensing into the shape of a giant skeleton; despite burning, it emitted a chilling cold.
The moment he saw the Nether Ghost Fire, the fear carved into Bai San’s bones was instantly awakened; his beast pupils turned blood-red, and his back arched instantly.
He exerted even more effort to drive the nebula whirlpool in his mouth, intending to swallow all the Thousand Star Legion and the sky-filling Nether Ghost Fire into his belly.
However, while he was focused on dealing with the Nether Ghost Fire and the Thousand Star Legion, Ye Lin had already appeared silently behind him, carrying the Life-Severing Sword.
"Heart Sacrifice!"
The Life-Severing Sword pierced directly through Bai San’s body, causing him to let out a shrill, miserable scream.
At the same time, the black Nether Ghost Fire used the Life-Severing Sword as a conduit, pouring directly into Bai San’s body!
The pain of his soul body being scorched immediately caused Bai San to twist and convulse.
Now that he possessed a physical body, it meant that the pain he could feel was far more intense than before.
"Why act like a lowly beast instead of a cute kitten?"
Ye Lin fueled the Nether Ghost Fire, nearly burning Bai San to ashes on the spot.
Only when Bai San stopped struggling and moving did Ye Lin stop.
At this moment, Bai San was no longer struggling, or rather, he no longer had the strength to struggle; a boundless despair was revealed in those beast pupils.
"Can you be obedient now?"
Ye Lin smiled and used his beast-taming divine ability, intending to sign a spirit beast contract with Bai San.
Bai San put on a mask of pain; now that he was in the body of a demonic beast, if he signed this thing, Ye Lin would truly become his master.
But at the thought of the pain of the Nether Ghost Fire burning his body, Bai San could only obediently sign this humiliating contract.
"Good boy, come, this is your reward."
Ye Lin took out a palm-sized cockroach and threw it in front of Bai San.
Bai San’s expression changed; his human soul made him feel fear and disgust toward this cockroach, but his body as a Heaven-Swallowing Beast made him develop an appetite for the cockroach before him!
This feeling of conflict between soul and body nearly drove Bai San mad, and he could even imagine what it would feel like to eat this cockroach.
Just as you take this large cockroach into your mouth, it will begin to struggle, its six barbed legs kicking wildly, and a tempting, fishy stench will rush straight to your taste buds.
After biting through the cockroach’s plump abdomen, a mellow, rich fluid will flow out; the organs will have a bitter taste, but if you savor it carefully, there will be a hint of lingering sweetness.
As you chew, the cockroach’s body will be ground into meat paste, but the hard barbs on its legs will still irritate your oral mucosa from time to time, and the fishy taste will become more intense the more you chew.
When you begin to swallow, the balled-up corpse of the cockroach will mix with saliva, slide down your esophagus, and fall into your stomach.
After a burp, the fishy smell of the cockroach’s organs will rush straight to your crown, leaving an endless aftertaste and a fragrant mouth.
