Chapter 49 (1/2)

Chapter 49 – Galaxy Starburst

________________

Acquiring a battle beast can be convenient for most cases as it allowed the host to quickly train the respective Xian martial art. However, once the host loses the battle beast, the host will be unable to use the Xian martial art to its fullest potential. At most, the host will only remember the movements but not be able to execute it as efficiently.

For example, if Xu Liao somehow loses the Jasper Seven Stars Mantis Demon, he will be unable to use the Seven Stars Praying Mantis Boxing. Relying on the feeling of using the skill based on his previous memories he might be able to manage to execute the first few stances. But as for the high level skills such as the high frequency blade wave, he will totally be unable to use it.

Never in this world he thought that the mysterious golden metallic thread would forcefully s.n.a.t.c.h the control over the Xian martial art <unbreakable alloy=””>> from the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug.

After executing the new Unbreakable Alloy, the exterior of the golden skeleton formed a thin veil that emitted a faint golden light. From his experiences as cosplaying as a Dark Warrior before, he easily manipulated this veil of golden light to form a cloak that he personally named – Gemini Golden Cloak.

(ED: Think of Elsa’s cloak when she summoned it lol)

As Xu Liao admired his ‘creation’, he suddenly clenched his fist and punched out towards a hill behind the bamboo house. The Tyrant’s Prestige was indeed very powerful. The air around the bamboo house trembled and turned dark. Particles in the air shook and vibrated as it glowed bright when the profound force pa.s.sed through.  It looked as if the galaxy and the Milky Way itself descended upon the hill, smas.h.i.+ng it into smithereens.

Xu Liao achieved something that he couldn’t do before. What he lacked were offensive skills, and now he obtained his most powerful skill. So of course he was extremely elated! He pranced around like a little lamb before suddenly coming to a halt.

“Fantasy Emperor’s Fist!!!” Xu Liao suddenly shouted out loud and pumped his fist upwards to the air.

Then he suddenly paused again and put on a serious looking face. “Hmm.. doesn’t sound about right…. How about Magicial Punch?”

“No no.. “ Xu Liao shook his head. “That won’t do.”

Xu Liao’s eyes then suddenly lit up. “Ah. I know! Galaxy Starburst!!” He shouted at the top of his voice once again as he punched upwards.

Once he was satisfied with himself, naturally he stopped using the powers of the Unbreakable Alloy and tried to examine the rest of the other parts of the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug. But he didn’t find anything significant so he decided to put it aside.

Next on his list was the Flame Snake, but Xu Liao didn’t even try to a.s.similate it at all. With his experience, he now knew that there are certain compatibility requirements for a.s.similating. Both demonic Qi clashed with fire types. Therefore even if he a.s.similated this battle beast, he couldn’t use it at all.

Then he turned his attention to the Hive and easily a.s.similated it with the dark demonic energy. The black beetles within the Hive were all related to each other, so he didn’t have to a.s.similate the black beetles one by one.

Within the dark demonic core, a huge piece of land stretched from end to end. The golden thatches were growing in bunches, obviously thriving from the environment. The countless of black beetles that he had a.s.similated formed several black clouds in the sky, covering the view of the Hive that was in the middle of the black clouds.

He didn’t know if these black beetles were intentionally or naturally attracted to the remains of the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug, but they approached it as if they found something delicious as they started devouring it.

Xu Liao didn’t stop them because in his opinion, the remains of the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug had already served its purpose.

*kacha kacha*

The sound of the black beetles grinding as it devoured the remains of the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug was almost deafening. Within a few breaths of time, all the remains were devoured clean.

While the black beetles were devouring the One Hundred Myriads Golden Bug, Xu Liao noticed a discrepancy in the flow of the countercurrent. Then just at that moment, a monotone voice rang in his mind:

“Received the remains of another battle beast.”
