“Peng!”

The eight-colored prison that was rapidly shrinking abruptly exploded. At the same time when it exploded, the different types of energy began converging––for instance, both water and fire energy would combine to form a Water-Fire Giant! Or lightning and fire energy converging into a Lightning-Fire Giant! There was also lightning and destruction energy merging into a Destructive-Lightning Giant…

Many giants started appearing. A total of nine giants were formed in the end.

These nine giants all had the strength of an ordinary Grand Perfection God Emperor. They then coordinated perfectly together against Xue Ying.

‘Amazing.’ Xue Ying kept his fleshy body at its peak state. Even as he tried his best to deal with those giants using his spear, he still remained on the disadvantaged end. After all, the combat techniques of these giants were more profound than even his spear techniques.

‘This soul illusory realm has greatly affected me, preventing me from turning them into a Nine-Headed Combat Body.’ Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor shook his head lightly. This enormous illusory realm had forced him to use just 20% of his heart force in resisting against it. But it was precisely this 20% heart force that prevented him from perfectly executing his technique. He was different from Wu Xiao. Wu Xiao relied on his powerful body to battle.

Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’s control of his personal strength was incredibly complex. Hence, it required an immense amount of heart force.

Controlling nine different types of Grand Perfection God Emperor Bloodline energy while ensuring they were perfectly coordinated? How big would the burden be on one’s heart force?

‘Transform.’ Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor thought.

“Hou~”

Out of the nine giants, one of them dissipated. The other eight giants immediately fused together into one entity with eight snakeheads! This giant gave off a wild terrifying power as it charged at Xue Ying.

Xue Ying was forced into a flurry by the consecutive techniques executed by ‘Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor’. He immediately whirled out his spear in response to this charging eight-headed giant.

‘Fortunately, his heart force had been influenced, preventing him from perfectly executing his ‘Nine-Colored Domain’ and ‘Nine-Headed Combat Body.’ Xue Ying thought. He had long received intelligence on Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor. Nonetheless, even if the strength of Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor is weakened greatly, Xue Ying still had a hard time dealing against the other party.

“Hu.”

That terrifying vicious eight-headed giant suddenly disappeared.

In the distant, Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor chuckled out: “Brother Flying Snow, the consumption rate of this fleshy body of yours is simply too big. I think it is best that you spend more time cultivating so as to grasp a stable Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body.”

“I am still lacking a lot.” Xue Ying sighed. Just battling for a short period caused him to consume 40% of his life force.

Furthermore, even though he could temporarily boost his fleshy body to the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body Level, he had yet to reach this official realm. Hence, his technique execution was flawed. Compared to a genuine ‘Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body’ Dao Cultivator, Xue Ying was likely only 70% to 80% of the other party’s strength. Xie Fan for instance was qualified to be ranked top ten within Scarlet Cloud City. As for Xue Ying, not counting his soul technique, he could barely enter the bottom ranks of apex experts in the city.

Of course, if his soul technique was considered and taking his powered mode into account, Xue Ying would definitely be able to rank in the forefront.

After all, only the City Masters could still suppress him when he boosted his fleshy body to the peak.

‘My body is still too weak. I can’t maintain my peak state for long.’ Xue Ying thought.

“Amazing.”

“Monarch Flying Snow is this strong even though he has yet to achieve the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body? Doesn’t this mean that once he grasped the Half-Chaotic Origin Lifeform Body, he’ll immediately join the ranks of the City Masters?”

The other cultivators were slightly startled. They could see that Xue Ying’s Dao of Void was only surpassed by a dozen or so within Scarlet Cloud City! As for his soul technique, he could even weaken Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor, lowering it to a level comparable to his strength.

…

Xue Ying and Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor flew back to their original positions.

“This soul technique is indeed extraordinary.” Nine-Headed Snake Ancestor praised.

“Brother Flying Snow, I’ll not let you fight with me. Your body is simply too weak. You just have to cast your soul technique against me. Bring it on.” Wu Xiao urged.
