Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 294

294 Dark Qi

Furthermore, Shen Fei could clearly feel that the violent energy was continuously being transmitted into the demonic beast’s body, causing the dark Qi within it to grow more intense.

Shen Fei’s eyes seemed to tremble. It should not come as a surprise that this demonic beast had some extraordinary secrets. Otherwise, it would not have been able to transform the dark Qi in its body into such a violent one.

At the thought of this, Shen Fei immediately sent out his own Qi.

“Roar…”

!!
In the next moment, a series of miserable screams echoed throughout the cave. This was the sound of the dark Qi being attracted to something.

All of a sudden, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave, and the entire mountain peak seemed to quake. Immediately afterwards, Shen Fei saw the demonic beast’s figure.

At this moment, the demonic beast had already returned to its original appearance, but with some new additions. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it looked quite sinister and ferocious. A pair of black wings had also grown from its back.

“Roar!”

The demonic beast roared at the sky. The black feathers on its back looked like black longswords, and they were launched at Shen Fei like a rain of bullets.

When Shen Fei saw this, he hurriedly commanded the Black Sun to block. However, the dark Qi contained in those black feathers was too powerful. It penetrated the Black Sun, and the spirit beast shook violently to the point of almost collapsing

“Damn it!” Shen Fei cursed and quickly ordered the Black Sun to retreat. However, the Black Sun had only taken a step before it exploded with a bang.

Shen Fei’s heart sank when he saw this. He never would have thought that he would encounter such a thing. For the Black Sun to explode while under his control was humiliating for him, and painful for the Black Sun.

But at that moment, Shen Fei did not have the time to think too much about it. He hurriedly controlled the Black Sun to gather itself back and charge forward, hoping to stop any more destruction of the Black Sun.

However, the instant Shen Fei controlled the Black Sun to move forward, the Black Sun suddenly stopped and did not budge.

“What’s going on?” Shen Fei could not help his shock. He was puzzled, yet he could still feel his spiritual bond with the Black Sun, so he tried to fly forward once more.

However, no matter how hard Shen Fei tried, the Black Sun could not move even an inch forward. It was as if there was an invisible barrier that was blocking it.

At this, Shen Fei’s face turned gloomy. ‘Is this because of the dark Qi?’ he thought to himself.

If it really was dark Qi, then he was in trouble. The dark Qi could devour life and destroy energy structures. Once a victim came into contact with it, no matter what level of cultivation they were at, the victim would immediately be eroded by the dark Qi.

“Looks like I’ll have to use the Soul of Fire.” Shen Fei sighed. He really had no time to think. After all, dark Qi was the nemesis of all living things. He had to get rid of this scourge as soon as possible.

Shen Fei summoned the Flame Owl, “Flame Owl, come out.” It was time to let the Flame Owl solve the problem.

In the next moment, a ball of fire, buffered by the powers of the Soul of Fire, gushed out of Shen Fei. As soon as the flame appeared, it immediately merged with the Flame Owl, and its power suddenly increased and continued to rise.

Shen Fei and the Flame Owl charged at the demonic beast. The demonic beast opened its mouth and spewed out dark Qi.

However, the moment the dark Qi was spat out, it turned into black mist and disappeared.

‘This is…’ Shen Fei’s pupils shrank. ‘Could it be that the Flame Owl can absorb dark Qi? How is this possible?’

Dark Qi was one of the evilest energies in the world. The characteristics of this power were even more domineering than the shadow attribute energy. It could destroy everything at will. Even the heavens looked weak in the face of this dark Qi.

As such, dark Qi was the enemy of all living beings, and not many living beings could master it. Yet at this moment, the Flame Owl had easily absorbed it. This was something that Shen Fei never expected.

This new information made him feel excited. However, thinking about it, Shen Fei thought quickly and tried not to be reckless about his next plan of action. He observed carefully, trying to find out what special ability the Flame Owl had after absorbing the dark Qi.

Soon, Shen Fei found the abnormality of the Flame Owl’s body. On the Flame Owl’s stomach, a black vortex had appeared.

This vortex was like a huge black hole, sucking in the dark Qi and quickly disappearing. The speed at which the dark Qi disappeared was so fast that it disappeared with the bat of an eye.

“W-what’s going on?” Shen Fei was stunned, and his face was filled with disbelief. ‘My Flame Owl seems to have some kind of pattern on its abdomen. Every once in a while, it’ll release dark Qi, and then absorb everything in the surroundings, including life.’

This was a strange energy. It did not belong to the darkness, but it had the trait of being able to devour everything, making it impossible to guard against. Even Shen Fei could only try to evade this kind of dark Qi. He did not dare to fight it head-on.

His Flame Owl was different though. It could absorb dark Qi. Once again, this was something he would never have expected.

“It seems that this dark Qi is the catalyst for the Flame Owl to increase its energy!” Shen Fei guessed. “Otherwise, how could it be absorbed so easily?”

As he thought about it, Shen Fei tried not to make careless conclusions.

With the Flame Owl by his side, he ran forward. Very quickly, Shen Fei discovered that the Flame Owl’s speed had slowed down.

“Could it be because of the dark Qi?”

Shen Fei frowned as he pondered, but he then smiled bitterly. “It seems that although the Flame Owl can absorb dark Qi, its body’s capacity isn’t strong enough for it. When it absorbed the dark Qi, it probably reached its limit, right?”

At this, Shen Fei’s elatedness wilted a little. “Whatever. Since I can’t stop the dark Qi, I’ll try another method.”

Shen Fei utilized the system in his mind for a while. After a moment, the image of a fist-sized bead appeared in his mindscape. This was the bead of life.

After obtaining the bead of life, Shen Fei scanned his sea of consciousness for information about it.

Shen Fei’s mental energy was quite large due to the existence of the bead of life. Despite having it ejected from his mind, Shen Fei continued to sense the existence of the dark Qi.

Boom!

After the bead of life appeared, it released a powerful fluctuation. Shortly after, a terrifying suction force spread out from the bead of life, madly sucking in the surrounding dark Qi.

At this moment, in Shen Fei’s sea of consciousness, the light emitted by the bead grew more intense. Shen Fei could even vaguely see green saplings inside the bead of life.
