Chapter 717 - 351: Devour!
"Boy, today this array technique, I will teach you!"
"Boom!"
The array barrier shattered with a crack, and as countless Yin spirits roared in, Lin Chang’an inside the array revealed a cold smile.
"Array! Let me teach you instead!"
Rise!
In the instant when the Skyfire Array broke, under the splattering terrifying flames, countless Yin spirits turned to ashes.
"Boy! Your primordial spirit is mine now!"
However, the annihilation of countless Yin spirits was nothing but terror to the transformed ugly old man, whose greedy eyes now fixated only on the flesh and blood of Lin Chang’an.
Yet just as the black flood dragon attacked, a Phoenix Cry suddenly resounded.
"What!"
The Phoenix Cry Bird, spreading wings nearly ten feet long, screeched and grabbed the dragon with its sharp claws, the next moment spewing terrifying flames from its mouth.
Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an wasn’t idle either. Under the powerful divine sense of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, nine Sun-piercing Divine Swords ignited with terrifying flames.
Giant Sword Technique
In an instant, the nine Sun-piercing Divine Swords transformed into giant swords and launched at the black dragon.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from the sudden sneak attack by the Phoenix Cry Bird to Lin Chang’an’s deadly strike appearing.
"Ah...this is not an ordinary Phoenix Cry Bird! It’s the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix!"
With an angry roar tinged with a hint of fear, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was enraged to the extreme.
It never expected to be outwitted by a human cultivator.
No matter how strong it was, it was merely an avatar, far from being a Tier Four Nascent Soul expert.
And both the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix and the Sun-piercing Divine Sword’s Sky Sun Spiritual Fire were its nemeses.
It never expected that a mere human Core Formation cultivator would have so many means to restrain it.
"Old fiend, this is just the beginning, stay here today."
"Boy, don’t be complacent!"
As the black flood dragon roared, several black mist-condensed giant snakes were suddenly spat out and attacked Lin Chang’an.
However, facing this attack, Lin Chang’an swiftly retreated while forming hand seals with a calm expression.
Immediately, rich fire attribute spiritual energy appeared in the air, and an array barrier even larger than before was activated.
"Damn human cultivator!"
Tier Three Upper Grade Array · Blood Slaughter Red Sun Array
This array is also the strongest array he has mastered so far.
Everything he did was in preparation for this array.
Whether it was the Phoenix Cry Bird’s frenzied battle, firmly holding onto the enemy, or the nine Sun-piercing Divine Swords, it was all about stalling the opponent.
Otherwise, given the opponent’s terrifying escape speed, it might not even have time to activate the array before escaping.
"Hehe, boy, I admit I underestimated you, but you’ve underestimated a Nascent Soul cultivator too much!"
Amidst the billowing black mist came a sinister laugh, and the next moment, the black mist exploded, injuring the Phoenix Cry Bird with a mournful cry.
"Soul possession!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Chang’an’s face changed drastically.
This transformed Yin spirit relied on this trick to control cultivators, almost akin to possession.
"Hehe, boy, I’m very curious about how it feels to devour a self-healing primordial spirit like yours!"
The speed was too fast, fast enough to surprise and delight Lin Chang’an; this old fiend was simply a source of nourishment delivered to the doorstep.
Having had a previous experience, he was now least afraid of this kind of Yin trick of soul possession.
Surprised that he couldn’t dodge, how could the Yin spirit escape technique be so fast?
Profound Soul Needle
"Hehe, boy, although I’m just an avatar, my divine sense isn’t at the Nascent Soul realm, but it’s far beyond your mere Core Formation..."
Buzz!
In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King who had just barged in suddenly fell silent, staring in disbelief at the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine before him, with only three leaves.
"It’s you!"
The Profound Celestial Immortal Vine emitted a cyan life aura, and at this moment, its powerful avatar was like encountering a predator, imprisoned, unable to move.
This familiar aura made it recall that last time, a human cultivator devoured a strand of its divine sense.
"No! Boy, you’re quite skilled, let’s make a deal, surely you want to reach Nascent Soul, right? There’s also the Nascent Soul inheritance on Yin Soul Sect Island.
I promise that if we join forces, the relics of the two Nascent Soul cultivators on Yin Soul Sect Island will be yours first..."
In panic, it shouted desperately, knowing that this avatar which it had painstakingly split was crucial to its escape plan.
"No———"
The remnant soul of the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King was immobile, as if bound by some rule force, helplessly watching itself being devoured.
On the soul level, a painful scream of terror echoed, then abruptly stopped.
Immediately after, millennia of memories began to flicker in the sea of consciousness.
Resisting this torrent of memory fragments and sifting through it for useful information, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help revealing a pained expression.
Perhaps it was because the tier of a Tier Four Transformed Nascent Soul cultivator was too high, and the memories too vast, chaotic, and disordered; Lin Chang’an struggled to sift out the useful memories.
And the Phoenix Cry Bird’s long cry, guarding Lin Chang’an in the array eye, while the Sword Servant and Cyan-Horned Bull joined forces with the array to eliminate the countless Yin spirits trapped inside.
...
In the earlier times, it was all muddled memory fragments. From gaining sentience, this transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, surprisingly, was a rare Yin spirit born in an Extreme Yin Spirit Vein.
In thousands of years, from initially groping along devouring Yin energy to cultivate, to the excitement and greed of devouring a human cultivator and demon beast’s primordial spirit essence blood for the first time, it became insatiable.
Progressing step by step into a ferocious Tier Four Transformed Yin Spirit Beast King, it took advantage of the beast tide attacking human cultivators to make its move.
