Chapter 338: Obtaining the Life Pearl (2/2)
”Its real vulnerable point is on the forehead, where its Life Pearl lies. Kill it and take its Life Pearl away. Then your Air-frozen Bead is half done!” Green Spirit shouted with excitement.
”Forehead?” Zhou Bao yelled. Its forehead indeed was different from other places, but just a little different.
The Cloud-swallowing Beast was covered with a heavy armor, all light cyan, but one scale in its forehead was dark cyan with a glimmer of anomalous metallic light on the surface. Furthermore, there was no defensive void turbulence surrounding the forehead.
”This Cloud-swallowing Beast is either silly or very confident in its dark cyan scale.”
”As long as you break the scale and take away the Life Pearl, the beast will be finished!”
”I'm afraid it's not that easy!”
”Certainly, the scale has the strongest defense, even stronger than that added by all the scales!”
”What the f*ck, you want me to fight against it? We'd better run as quickly as we can!” Zhou Bao yelled.
”Opportunity knocks but once. I didn't mean that it's you who would destroy its defense!” Green Spirit's psywave spread to him with a sneer. ”Let go of the Sky-measuring Star Ruler and let me through!”
”Can you do that?” Zhou Bao asked with confusion.
”What a load of claptrap!” Green Spirit said, ”If I can't, you will be done! Didn't you notice anything rather strange?”
”Strange?”
Of course, it was strange. The original intangible and colorless wind had turned into a light cyan one, with the tendency of becoming darker and darker. Its power seemed to be several times stronger than before.
In the cyan wind, a mysterious space debris was dimly seen, which existed in the strength of the Cloud-swallowing Beast rather than from the tearing of the space before.
Without thinking twice, Zhou Bao opened his own Space of Segmented Realms and threw the Sky-measuring Star Ruler out.
Initially, there was a bit of starlight flashing, but after a burst, the silver starlight gushed out of the Sky-measuring Star Ruler like water. Then a silver spider, made by the starlight, appeared on the ruler and all starlight gathered as if being towed, to immediately form countless filaments. Those filaments intertwined and turned into a silver cobweb which ripped through the cyan wind current and directly covered the head of the Cloud-swallowing Beast.
Howl!
The beast seemed to realize the danger and roared again. As a result, the wind color abruptly darkened. In no time, Zhou Bao felt a limitless power approaching him from all directions, which almost tore his Protective Gang Qi to shreds.
After several rapid dodges, he launched the Dragon Flying Technique, but he just managed to evade the fiercest attack with the circumambient wind power. However, Wang She and Mo Yinyang didn't have such a good luck. Zhou Bao stood far away from them, but he could still hear their screams clearly. In a short period of time, their Gang Qi were torn apart by the cyan wind, ensued by the blood splattered in the air. If they were not Level Nine experts, they themselves would have been torn into pieces.
Nevertheless, they still suffered a lot from the attack. Their iron-like bodies were scratched by the cyan wind, leading to numerous scars, some of which were even open to the bone.
They had to do their best to protect themselves. At this time, Zhou Bao found these two guys both had a second Gang Qi. To his surprise, Mo Yinyang's Gang Qi turned into a pure black one from the original grey. Zhou Bao had seen it before, as he was almost killed by it once. This was exactly the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang from Dark Lord Mie Chen, one of Three Grandmasters of the Northern Yuan. In the Gang Qi, Heavenly Devil appeared indistinctly. He had practiced into the Heavenly Devil Real Body like Mie Chen. However, Wang She's Gang Qi was different from Mo Yinyang's. His second Gang Qi was red. A flirtatious red that was extremely coquettish.
”Hehe, these two guys have their own bluffs as expected!”
With their changed Gang Qi, the two steadied themselves in the cyan storm, but helpless expressions were shown on their faces, because neither of them wanted to reveal their bluffs at such a time and in such a place.
Right now, the Starlight Net had covered the Cloud-swallowing Beast's head. Though the beast was huge, the star force collected in the Sky-measuring Star Ruler for ten thousand years was more powerful.
In the cyan wind, the Starlight Net teetered, but the filaments made by starlight would not be cut short, no matter how strong the wind was.
Along the filaments, a large amount of star force rushed to the beast's head. Amid the starlight, the Sky-measuring Star Ruler had already separated itself from the starlight spider, and directly smashed the beast's forehead.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the ruler hit the dark cyan scales and bounced back. Influenced by the powerful attack, the Cloud-swallowing Beast trembled and shortly felt a little dizzy. The sense passed from the Life Pearl also told it that this eccentric thing seemed to be able to threaten its life.
The beast began to be uneasy, stretching out its huge claw to tear apart the silver cobweb on its head, but Green Spirit wouldn't let things progress as it wished.
The Sky-measuring Star Ruler, a Pure Yang Celestial Device with massive star force, was not easy to deal with.
Numerous filaments of starlight were released to entangle the beast's two big claws. Though the filaments were quickly pulled apart, they fit together rapidly and entwined the claws firmly. All of a sudden, the Sky-measuring Star Ruler shined with dazzling light, and again hit the beast's forehead. The attack this time was much fiercer and more powerful than the previous one.
”Boy, watch out. You could only use the Sky-measuring Star Ruler to attack the beast once. Take this opportunity to force its Original Spirit out with the Poisonous Hitching Post. You know what to do next, and don't need my instructions, do you?” Green Spirit's psywave spread to him as the ruler hit the beast again.
”Damn. I still need to do something!” Zhou Bao spluttered.
Boom!
With another bang, the ruler hit the beast's forehead the third time, and the ruler's light afterward became dim. However, Zhou Bao could clearly see the dark blue frost formed on the dark cyan scale of its forhead, and faintly saw several fissures on the scale.
”Now is was the time!”
Zhou Bao thought with his hand raised. Then a streak of green light appeared and directly hit that scale!
Poisonous Hitching Post!
Almost without any impediment, the Poisonous Hitching Post struck onto the scale.
”Hoo, howl!”
Sharp pain suddenly overwhelmed the Cloud-swallowing Beast.
Pain-painful!
The Poisonous Hitching Post wouldn't kill people or ruin lives, but it could cause severe pain!
The Cloud-swallowing Beast who dominated this Region of Taiyuan Heaven, had never suffered such pain since it was born, especially pain passed from the Life Pearl, which was even harder for it to put up with. The Life Pearl not only possessed strong power, but it also combined with its Original Spirit, so the beast had to tolerate unbearable pain directly spreading to the Original Spirit. With a sad cry, a dark cyan bead rose from the trap door of the beast's brain, and plumes of green smoke were exuded from the bead. Eventually, the smoke turned into a cyan shadow, whose size was in sharp contrast with the huge one of the beast and could practically be described as tiny. Compared with Zhou Bao, the shadow was a little larger, but its shape was clear, exactly a miniature Cloud-swallowing Beast.
”Now it's time!” Zhou Bao gently made a fist. A reddish strength appeared, followed by a crimson vortex around the Original Spirit.
Soul-cutting Skill!
As soon as the skill was launched, the vortex swallowed the Original Spirit and cut it into countless fragments.
Though it had lived for tens of thousands of years, the Cloud-swallowing Beast had never seen such a method. Before it could react, the Original Spirit was cut into pieces, which later turned into miraculous brightness and disappeared.
The yellow crystal-like eyes suddenly became dim and the lifeless huge body fell on the ground. The dark cyan wind around also faded away. In a twinking of an eye, Zhou Bao raised his hand and grabbed. Then the dark cyan bead appeared in his hand. With a flick, he put it away in his Space of Segmented Realms.
