Chapter 439: Three Gifted Powers
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Zhou Bao was overjoyed by the discovery of these three gifted powers of the Primitive Dragon Chimera because these powers were quite practical. The most exciting part was the fact that, among the three gifted powers, there was one power related to space, which enabled you to do hollow travels. However, this power, which was called the Phantom Body Skill, was different from his Three Realms Division. It was a technique that allowed you to slip through cracks in space like an earthworm. It could not move you to a place dozens or even hundreds of miles away like the Three Realms Division, but when you are unable to fend off an attack, it could allow you to drill a hole in the current space you were in with just a shake of your body and to escape into that crack. It worked the same way when attacking. Your figure would disappear and reappear in a flash, which might give the opponent the creeps. Of course, the most important function of this gifted power was that it could break constraints and formations.
There were myriads of formations and constraints in the world, but few of them could really constrain the space. Even if they could, they might not be able to resist being penetrated by Zhou Bao's Phantom Body Skill. It could be said that this was an extremely useful power and was pretty helpful to Zhou Bao's present plan. After all, he was going to sneak into the Dragon Abyss Prison to rescue his companions. The other two gifted powers were also equally amazing, namely the Slippery Body Technique and the Yin-devouring Technique.
The Slippery Body Technique, as its name implied, featured properties of an earthworm. Just like those solidification passive techniques he encountered in the games of his previous life, this technique required no operation. As long as he was underwater, once an attack was coming up, the water around his body would turn into a substance that almost had no friction and made his body slippery. Its function was a bit similar to that of the dislodging formula of the Tai Chi Fist, but its effect was much better. In water, it could almost shake off nearly 80% of any physical attacking force. Moreover, it would make it even more difficult to catch him alive. If you do not believe it, put your hands in water and try to grab an earthworm.
As for the Gifted power Yin-devouring Technique, it was one of the powers his Demonic Fire possessed.
The reason why the Dragon Chimera was named like that was because it fed on dragons. The most crucial reason was that it possessed the Demonic Fire.
To be honest, the Demonic Fire of the Dragon Chimera was of a sinister kind. It not only reached a high temperature but also had a unique feature of devouring. Precisely because of this unique feature, Zhou Bao successfully devoured the essence, blood, and spirit of that Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. Before Zhou Bao produced his incarnation, this function did not play a big role. Only when special incidents happened could Zhou Bao feel and be affected by the greedy lust for devouring something, which came from his internal Demonic Fire. For example, when he saw the Invisible Dragon Rod, he felt an urge of gluttony; when he glimpsed at the huge egg of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, he also sensed the same impulse. Previously, this impulse was produced passively and unpredictably. But now, when his incarnation was achieved, everything became predictable, and the greed, viciousness, and other properties of his Demonic Fire were all refined into one power - the Yin-devouring Technique.
Yin-devouring Technique!
It could melt, dissolve, and devour the opponent. In addition, it would enable one to gain the opponent's power.
It sort of resembled the Star Attracting Technique, but it also differed from it in many aspects. Melting and dissolving were not a big deal, but the ability to seize and devour the enemy was more like gambling, depending on luck. To put it in other words, only when the opponent's power matches one's own strength could one devour and absorb him.
Zhou Bao merely looked a bit into this kind of gifted power. At present, he was still in the passive cognition phase, so it would be hard for him to perform this technique at will right now.
Apart from these three gifted powers, the property of this Dragon Chimera incarnation that pleased Zhou Bao most was the strong ability to move around underwater.
It felt just like being a fish in water!
This was what Zhou Bao felt right now. Meanwhile, he also learned a bit about why the Sea Area, which had such powerful strength, had not made any attack against the Seven-deity Regions. Maybe the reason was not that the Celestial Emperor of the Sea Area was content with things as they were, but that those marine demons would feel very uncomfortable if they went out of the sea. Or maybe the power of most of the marine demons would be significantly weakened when they leave the sea, and their power would gradually decline if they stayed too long on land. However, this would not matter to Demonic Immortals who got into the Ranking of Demons and Immortals.
This is exactly the reason why the Sea Area and the Seven-deity Regions had co-existed in peace for the past thousands of years.
Strolling on the street of Right-angle Bay, Zhou Bao was no longer at a nonplus as he first entered the sea world. Now, the surrounding water streams and water pressure could not pose any resisting force upon him.
He was walking and moving around as he liked, not having to pretend his proficiency in living underwater anymore.
