Chapter 34 - Cicada, Mantis and Oriole (2) (1/2)
After waiting for about one hour Tang San with his Spiritual Sense was able to sense the Ice Bear King charging towards the Devil Titan Kings territory. Though he was happy he didn't show it out and kept a serious attitude, he knew that if there is even a small slip up on his side he would lose his life in this endeavor but if he is able to survive he would surely gain a lot of advantages later on.
He knew that to the normal cultivators who come to the Extreme North, they wouldn't know about the death of the three kings but the beasts in the Star Dou Forest was another matter altogether as they would surely sense that the three kings have died, but even they wouldn't be able to link their deaths to him.
He then sensed that the Ice Bear King had finally started its assault on the Ice Devil Titan King. Their fight went on for nearly seven days and seven nights before they stopped, Tang San didn't wait anymore and dashed towards the location of their fight. He didn't know if anyone of the two had died or not so him going there is a complete gamble right now.
After running for nearly five minutes he was able to reach that place and he saw that both the Kings were completely exhausted and injured due to their fight Tang San used his Golden Trident External Skull Bone and a trident-shaped crown formed on his head and it detached to form a trident. He threw the trident towards the Ice Devil Titan King, it pierced its heart and killed it in one shot, he used his Blue Silver Grass and pulled it out, the two beasts had no idea what just happened when one of them had suddenly died, the Ice Bear King who was still alive saw the thing which had killed the Ice Devil Titan King making its way towards him, he hurriedly used his Spirit Power and tried to form a barrier over his c_h_e_s_t but unfortunately the Trident wasn't aiming to its c_h_e_s_t but instead it shot straight towards its neck.
Its head was cleanly split from its body after the Trident passed through it. The only reason the two beasts had died so easily was due to the injuries they had sustained and they both had completely exhausted their energies completely which made them unable to even defend themselves.
This was truly a pitiful death to the two great kings of the North, death at the hands of a Spirit Ancestor. It was so fast that they weren't even able to notice their deaths. The barrier that he had placed prevented their auras from being detected, this was possible due to his spirit tool which was a barrier forming tool, he had made it during the time he was in the Ice-Fire Well.
It was a rank 7 tool and was only capable of blocking the aura to a certain extent but it was enough to block the trace of both the Kings. He had a limited time frame so he didn't waste any time and sat down and started absorbing both the Spirit Rings.
…
It took nearly an entire day before he was able to completely absorb the two rings, this was only possible because he had Daydream, Ice Empress, Snow Empress and Golden Empress helping him during the process. They didn't use the normal method of sealing the ring's power but instead, they only managed to keep the flow of energy smooth enough so that he wouldn't suffer from any soul shock.
He didn't check his status yet and started to take out their Spirit Bones, the Ice Bear King and the Ice Devil Titan King both gave out a Right Arm bone. It was true that spirit beasts which are 100,000 years or older would give out a spirit bone which the user doesn't have but no one had tried to kill two 100,000-year-old beasts at the same time hence resulting in such a situation.
He kept the bones inside his magical space and then took off the barrier tool, just as he did that he felt a strange sensation coming from a nearby mountain. He used his Spiritual Detection to find out what it was and saw that there was a temple of some sort. He knew that such a temple didn't exist when he had previously used his Spiritual Detection to check for and possible beasts nearby.
