Chapter 58 The Ultimate Combination Skill: Infinite Parasitism

This requirement is something Zheng Dong cannot fulfill.

Unless he possessed a mythological-tier resource.

As the simulation began, Zheng Dong first took out the Star Core he had obtained from Li Yang Chuanqi last time. He then gradually added various resources to simulate Xiao Zi's evolution.

The simulated evolution was successful, and Xiao Zi evolved into a Gold-Devouring Beast. However, its growth level was only at the High Overlord grade.

This would have been excellent for anyone else.

But Zheng Dong remained unsatisfied and continued the simulation and deduction.

After numerous failures, he still could not elevate the Gold-Devouring Beast's racial grade.

Could it be that after the Gold-Devouring Beast reached the Overlord grade, he had once again broken through the racial limitations and grown into a top-tier Totem?

Zheng Dong had no choice but to try again, using the Starry Sky Giant Beast Heart as the primary resource, supplemented by various other resources, to simulate and deduce an evolutionary plan.

This time, he failed repeatedly, with not a single success.

Zheng Dong paused for a moment.

He considered whether he should first evolve Xiao Zi into a Gold-Devouring Beast and then consider subsequent evolutionary plans.

This also made Xiao Zi very dejected.

It had originally thought it was about to turn its fortunes around.

But even after turning its fortunes around, it was still just a salted fish.

Xiao Zi was unwilling to accept this. It chirped and squeaked, then shrunk its body, jumped onto Zheng Dong's shoulder, and kept rubbing its small head against Zheng Dong's face, acting spoiled.

Zheng Dong frowned and could only comfort Xiao Zi, assuring it that there would be a way.

However, where could he possibly obtain a mythological-tier resource?

By this time, the sky had unknowingly brightened.

Zheng Dong felt no sleepiness at all.

He had not received a call from Principal Yu, but the Burdened Xuan Turtle emerged from the relic space, urging him to go to the breeding base.

This fellow couldn't wait any longer.

Therefore, Zheng Dong contacted Du Chuan, inquiring about the results of the Burdened Xuan Turtle's last endeavor.

As expected, there was no possibility of success, and they gained nothing.

Furthermore, due to the typhoon, the ships were also docked, preventing Zheng Dong from traveling to the breeding base on the island.

The Burdened Xuan Turtle stated that all of this was not a problem; it could take Zheng Dong swimming there.

Zheng Dong had not expected that even a typhoon could not deter the Burdened Xuan Turtle's urgent desire. He had no choice but to take the Burdened Xuan Turtle to the seaside.

The Burdened Xuan Turtle immediately grew enormous, resembling a massive ship, and its entry into the sea stirred up huge waves.

Affected by the typhoon, the wind and rain by the sea were heavy.

Zheng Dong did not want to get wet. He hid in the relic space and let the Burdened Xuan Turtle carry the relic bead to the breeding base on the island.

Given the Burdened Xuan Turtle's speed, they arrived quickly.

Zheng Dong then found Du Chuan.

Du Chuan stated that only by using special methods could there be a possibility of the Burdened Xuan Turtle leaving offspring.

The Burdened Xuan Turtle agreed without hesitation.

Zheng Dong did not get involved, as he did not understand and could not help. He simply found a place within the breeding base to practice combination skill ultimate arts.

The breeding base also had areas for training contracted beasts.

After all, the turtle-type contracted beasts cultivated here were to be sold, and they needed simple training after awakening.

Zheng Dong first wanted to try Ling'er's Parasitism and Clone skills.

He had already imprinted these two skills and had not yet used them, so he was unsure of their effects.

Therefore, he first used the Clone skill.

Using skills required the use of the skill imprints within the beast-taming space.

The skill imprints in the beast-taming space were like stars, continuously condensing elemental energy related to that skill, making it available for Zheng Dong to use.

Immediately, Zheng Dong condensed numerous clone seeds.

These clone seeds, upon scattering, would rapidly absorb surrounding elemental energy and transform into various clones of Zheng Dong.

These clones were similar to shadow clones and could use all skills mastered by the main body, except for the Clone skill itself.

In other words, a clone could not use the Clone skill again, and a shadow clone could not use the Shadow Clone skill. This prevented an infinite loop.

However, Zheng Dong discovered that a clone could further use the Shadow Clone skill to condense its own shadow clones.

But shadow clones could not use the Clone skill to create their own clones.

This was quite interesting.

Of course, Ling'er's Clone skill differed significantly from the Abyss Serpent's cloning skill.

The Clone skill was a high-level skill mastered by the Abyss Serpent, which could split itself into multiple independent clones. Each clone was not subordinate to the others, but as long as one survived, it was equivalent to the serpent itself surviving.

This high-priced skill was more suitable for self-preservation.

As for the Clone skill mastered by Ling'er, it was a mid-level skill. The clones formed were under the command of the main body, and their strength was at most sixty percent of the main body's.

Furthermore, the death of a clone did not affect the main body, but if the main body died, all clones would perish.

However, there was no limit to the number of clones.

Currently, Ling'er's proficiency in the Clone skill had improved to the "Profound" level, and using the Clone skill required almost no time.

As long as there was sufficient elemental energy, it was theoretically possible to create an infinite number of clones.

Zheng Dong, having imprinted Ling'er's Clone skill, also gained the same ability to continuously create clones.

Afterward, he tried having these clones use the Shadow Clone skill.

When a clone used the Shadow Clone skill, the resulting shadow clones possessed only ninety percent of the clone's strength.

This meant they were only about fifty percent of the main body's strength.

Although their strength was lesser, they had the advantage of unlimited numbers.

Unfortunately, Ling'er had not mastered the Shadow Clone skill, so she could not achieve this. Only Zheng Dong mastered both the Clone and Shadow Clone skills simultaneously.

Next, Zheng Dong attempted to combine the Clone, Shadow Clone, and Parasitism skills to form the ultimate art "Infinite Parasitism," which could rapidly drain all attributes and power from an opponent.

This combination ultimate art would be even more terrifying for those with trypophobia.

Just as Zheng Dong was attempting to combine skills to form more ultimate arts, not only was a powerful typhoon approaching the East Sea, but countless extraordinary creatures from several Totem countries were also sweeping towards the waters near Modu.

They were not actually intending to attack Yanhuang, but were searching for a Totem-grade dragon, specifically the Azure Dragon Empress of the Azure Dragon Totem Country.

In the East Sea, besides the Azure Dragon Totem Country, there were also the Black Dragon Totem Country, Golden Dragon Totem Country, Kun Shark Totem Country, Dragon Whale Totem Country, Barbarian Fish Totem Country, and Crocodile Turtle Totem Country.

These seven Totem countries usually coexisted peacefully, maintaining a neutral relationship with Yanhuang. There was no interaction between them.

However, after the Deep Sea Dragon Whale Emperor of the Dragon Whale Totem Country obtained a divine-tier resource in a mythological ruin and broke through to the Quasi-Divine grade, it integrated the Barbarian Fish Totem Country, Crocodile Turtle Totem Country, and Kun Shark Totem Country, launching an attack on the Azure Dragon Totem Country, Black Dragon Totem Country, and Golden Dragon Totem Country.

The Black Dragon Emperor of the Black Dragon Totem Country and the Golden Dragon Emperor of the Golden Dragon Totem Country had both perished.

Only the Azure Dragon Empress of the Azure Dragon Totem Country, severely injured, managed to escape.

However, the East Sea no longer had a place for her to stand. Her only hope of survival was to flee to land.

Thus, the Deep Sea Dragon Whale Emperor ordered its subordinates to conduct a carpet search, determined to find the Azure Dragon Empress.

They were willing to offend Yanhuang to do so.

This was also the confidence the Deep Sea Dragon Whale Emperor possessed after becoming Quasi-Divine grade.

Of course, it also wanted to test Yanhuang's reaction.

After all, the East Sea it would later rule would have Yanhuang as a long-term neighbor. Even if they did not interact, they at least needed to understand Yanhuang's strength.

As a result, the islands near Modu were all attacked by extraordinary creatures.

The uninhabited islands were one thing.

Many farmed and inhabited islands suffered greatly, with virtually no survivors, their corpses even devoured.

The island where Zheng Dong was located also encountered countless extraordinary creatures.

The extraordinary creatures in the ocean were bizarre and varied, many of them capable of landing on shore.

The great dike on the southeast side of the island was instantly breached by these extraordinary creatures, followed by giant waves that surged towards the breeding base on the island.

Immediately, the staff at the breeding base discovered the anomaly and sounded the alarm.

Zheng Dong, who was cultivating, frowned.

This was the first time he had encountered extraordinary creatures from a Totem country attacking a city.

If it were on land, it would be manageable.

But this was an island, with no defensive depth.

Moreover, one could never be sure how many extraordinary creatures were hidden in the sea.

Nor did one know when the supporting beast-taming legions would arrive.

What should be done?

Compared to some panicked staff at the breeding base, Zheng Dong was much calmer.

Of course, it wasn't that he was brave, but that he himself possessed Spatial Movement and Spatial Teleportation, so leaving the island was not difficult.

Furthermore, he had the undead puppet, the Nine-Tailed Ghost Fox, which should be sufficient for self-preservation in critical moments.

He just didn't know how the Burdened Xuan Turtle was doing.

Zheng Dong was unsure of the Burdened Xuan Turtle's strength.

Logically, this fellow should be very strong, but it always claimed it was about to die. He didn't know why, perhaps it was severely injured?

There was no time for Zheng Dong to ponder further, as a large number of extraordinary creatures poured into the breeding base.

The defensive forces of the breeding base were completely unable to resist.

Numerous security personnel responsible for the safety of the breeding base also summoned their respective contracted beasts.

Although these contracted beasts were not weak, facing the vast numbers of extraordinary creatures from the sea was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, having little effect. They couldn't even protect their own handlers, let alone the other staff at the breeding base or Zheng Dong and the others.

The person in charge of the breeding base, with no other option, announced an evacuation.

Traveling by boat was impossible, so they had to use flying contracted beasts and mechanical contracted beasts.

Unfortunately, there were not many flying contracted beasts, and the flying battleships transformed by mechanical contracted beasts could only carry a few people.

Zheng Dong did not join the commotion.

He had already engaged the extraordinary creatures from the sea in battle.

Because the training ground was located on the outskirts of the breeding base, it was the first to be impacted.

Extraordinary creatures from the sea, like waves, continuously poured into the training ground, bringing with them large amounts of seawater.

Most of them were at the Extraordinary, Commander, and Lord grades.

Occasionally, there were also Warrior grades.

However, Zheng Dong had not yet seen any King or Emperor grades.

Zheng Dong used Spatial Movement and Telekinesis skills, hovering in the air, and then used the combination ultimate art "Infinite Parasitism" to launch his attack.

Clone seeds were condensed by him and scattered towards the surrounding extraordinary creatures.

These clone seeds would rapidly parasitize the bodies of these extraordinary creatures, absorbing all their attributes and power, causing themselves to grow rapidly, and then condensing into various shadow clones.

The shadow clones then used the Parasitism skill, bringing themselves to their optimal state, and finally launched attacks on the extraordinary creatures that had been sufficiently drained.

In other words, one of Zheng Dong's clones could condense 365 shadow clones.

Although the strength of these shadow clones was only about fifty percent of Zheng Dong's main body, they could use all skills except for the Clone and Shadow Clone skills to attack.

Furthermore, their mastery of skills was the same as Zheng Dong's main body, except for the Quasi-Divine skill "Reincarnation Karma Fire," all of which were at the "Profound" level.

As a result, the power of the combination ultimate art "Infinite Parasitism" was no less than any Super-tier skill.

More and more extraordinary creatures fell, and Zheng Dong's clones and the clones' shadow clones also increased in number.

They gradually held back the extraordinary creatures impacting the training ground, attracting the attention of Warrior and King grade extraordinary creatures from the sea.

Soon, two Warrior grade extraordinary creatures, the Giant King Octopus and the Deep Sea Dragon Shark, charged towards Zheng Dong.

The Giant King Octopus resembled the octopuses seen in everyday life, but it was three stories tall. Each of its tentacles was like a giant python. Even without using any skills, it could overturn a ship with its sheer strength.

The Deep Sea Dragon Shark was relatively smaller in size, but its strength was not inferior at all; it was a creature that could contend with the Giant King Octopus.

Facing the two Warrior grade extraordinary creatures, Zheng Dong directly summoned Youyou, letting Youyou take action.

Youyou had already grown to the Warrior grade, and the power of the Reincarnation Karma Fire it released was even more terrifying.

Moreover, the Reincarnation Karma Fire, instead of extinguishing when encountering water, would act as fuel for the fire, burning more intensely and becoming difficult to extinguish.

Youyou appeared on Zheng Dong's right hand, then enlarged, transforming into a thirteen-story pagoda, blocking the path between the Giant King Octopus and the Deep Sea Dragon Shark.

Immediately, it ignited the Reincarnation Karma Fire. The blazing flames, upon encountering seawater, erupted with bursts of astonishing fire waves, engulfing the Giant King Octopus and the Deep Sea Dragon Shark, who had not yet reacted.

The Giant King Octopus and the Deep Sea Dragon Shark frantically resisted, but despite using various skills, they could not extinguish the flames on their bodies and were burned to death.

Instantly, the surrounding extraordinary creatures were terrified and dared not approach.

But this was not the end.

Not long after, a King grade Dragon Whale appeared.

It was massive, appearing like a moving small island from afar.

As it approached, the waves it stirred up grew larger, threatening to submerge the entire island.

Many young turtle-type contracted beasts raised at the breeding base were swept away by the waves, becoming food for other extraordinary creatures hidden around the island.

This also angered the Burdened Xuan Turtle.

It did not want the breeding base to be destroyed, as this was related to its ability to leave offspring.

Therefore, the Burdened Xuan Turtle took action.

It reverted to its normal size, a colossus capable of easily carrying an island. The King grade Dragon Whale was merely a slightly larger small fish in front of it.

It did not use any skills, simply opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing the Dragon Whale into its mouth. With a few crunches, it swallowed it.

Then, it let out a roar, and the sound waves directly scared away the other extraordinary creatures around the island.

In this way, the breeding base was temporarily safe.

Du Chuan and the staff of the breeding base breathed a sigh of relief, praying they would not encounter Emperor or Overlord grade extraordinary creatures again.

However, the situation in Modu was not optimistic.

A large number of extraordinary creatures broke through the dike and flooded into the city.

The beast-taming legions were overwhelmed.

Even with the deployment of numerous mechanical weapons and forbidden bombs, they were still struggling.

After all, no one had expected that extraordinary creatures from multiple Deep Sea Totem countries would suddenly attack Modu.

The Yanhuang Beast-Tamer Association had no choice but to mobilize forces from various directions to defend Modu.

As for the dire situation in the waters and islands near Modu, they were temporarily unable to attend to it.

This meant that Zheng Dong and the others would not be receiving any rescue for the time being.
