Chapter 452: Scarlet Vine Fruit Ripens
Translator: AstralGhostEditor: Kurisu
With the three shouts, the lava python's blood, flesh and Demonic Dan all disappeared in a black fire, transforming into a special power that was imprinted onto the lava python's soul!
Bei Feng's body sank and he retreated repeatedly. At this moment, the strength of this lava python soul was already infinitely close to a Transcendent realm cultivator!
”Four - Soul Ignition!”
The lava python's soul rippled intensely, and a dreadful shriek rang out. Bei Feng's mental power trembled intensely and he hurriedly retreated further.
Black flames abruptly burst into life on the tail end of the lava python. As it did so, a black gold lock appeared on the little snake's tail, securely locking it to the spot.
Following the crazed roar of the lava python, the black flame burnt even brighter, and the tail of the lava python began to disappear inch by inch!
”Clang!”
The lock around the lava python's tail slowly broke apart and fell to the ground.
After so many years, the lava python had finally escaped from its shackles! However, the price for doing that was extremely heavy. This was the dumbest and most direct method of removing the chains. The act of burning its soul was enough to bring the spirit and will of the lava python to the very brink of collapse!
”Hou!”
With the chains gone, the lava python immediately stopped the technique with a forceful roar. But despite that, a third of its soul had already been burnt away by the black flames!
The lava python's soul shook heavily and exploded abruptly, turning into a bunch of grey smoke which burst outwards and reformed again.
”Flood Dragon Claw!”
The current lava python was only half a meter long now. Its aura had dropped rapidly from before it ignited its soul. But although a great half of its strength had been spent on breaking the chains, the remaining energy was enough to raise its overall power to two or three times its peak!
A greyish energy formed with soul power gushed forward and congealed into a dragon's claw, swiping towards Bei Feng!
At this time, the lava python's mind was extremely foggy, but its will to kill Bei Feng was resolute. By pure instinct, it disregarded all costs and directly attacked!
Bei Feng's body shook, and his strength doubled explosively yet again. At this moment, there was only two minutes left of the 10 minutes duration on the Mixed Yuan Body!
The dragon claw was only about one meter long, but the attack congealed with soul power was incomparably powerful!
Its speed was extremely quick, and although Bei Feng was able to see the attack with his mental power, he wasn't capable of reacting to it!
This was an attack with the soul, and physical defenses were useless against it!
Bei Feng's face was emotionless as a jade palm appeared in his sea of consciousness, smashing forward to meet the claw!
The Mixed Yuan Body secret art did not only increase one aspect of his strength. It was an improvement on all his attributes! Naturally, his mental power was included!
Mental power and spirit power was different. Spirit was actually the main source, while mental power was a supportive strength. Properly speaking, mental power was an auxiliary power utilized by the soul to attack, while the soul was the main source of its power!
Both Bei Feng's soul and his mental power was extremely powerful when under the effect of the Mixed Yuan Body secret art. His Moon Grade mental power had far exceeded the limits of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert. With it being multiplied several folds now, he did not fear anything!
The two attacks collided together, generating electricity sparks from thin air. Although the entire clash looked simple and harmless, it was actually extremely dangerous!
If mental power was likened to a weapon, the soul would be the controller of the weapon. If one side's mental power was damaged, the other side could naturally directly launch an attack on the soul!
A blast that can only be heard by the soul rang out in his sea of consciousness, causing blood to flow out of all his nose, eyes, mouth and ears (seven apertures). His mind felt like it had been pricked with countless needles!
The lava python which only have its soul left, and no physical body to protect it was in an even worse state. Its spirit body trembled violently, and wisps of grey mist rose out of it continuousy, dissipating into the air.
”Chop!”
Bei Feng bit the tip of his tongue resolutely and forcefully stabilized his soul. After that, a palm sized sword flew made of mental power flew out of his body and slashed towards the lava python's spirit body!
What was the speed of a thought? It was impossible to comprehend such a concept. At the instant that his thought formed, the palm sized sword was completely formed and had appeared right beside the lava python spirit!
”Pu-chi!
A small grey mist shield completely made out of mental power materialized to block in front of the lava python's head. The palm sized sword flashed past, and returned back to Bei Feng's sea of consciousness.
Bei Feng's body swayed unsteadily, but his eyes shone with a never before seen brilliance. Although this battle had been very intense and dangerous, it'd revealed a whole new world to him!
At this time, the mental power shield above the lava python began to crack apart and dissipate. A faint line had also appeared on the lava python's soul, and the soul writhed and trembled, attempting to mend itself. However, the edges of the soul was already turning more and more illusory.
”How could your soul be so strong?!”
The lava python shrieked in an unreconciled manner. It'd paid such a large price, and even escaped from its shackles. But in the end, it'd still fallen at the last step.
By the time the lava python's last words rang out, its soul had completely fell apart.
Bei Feng swayed heavily on the spot. The duration of the Mixed Yuan Body secret art had expired, and the huge amounts of energy in his body had all disappeared completely. At this moment, his knees buckled and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
”My internal injuries are too heavy. Furthermore, the side effects of the Mixed Yuan Body secret art is here.”
