Chapter 473: Spiritual Body (1/2)

For a spirit, breakthroughs were never accompanied by bottlenecks, as long as there was enough energy, they would grow indefinitely.

Even progressing from the Heavenly Saint to the King rank was not something that difficult for a spirit..

When humans and beasts reached the King rank, they would have to transform their body into a spiritual body, but spirits already had spiritual bodies, hence, while they needed excessive amounts of energy, they did not have to transform their bodies.

Xue Wei was aware that their bodies would be changed when they became King ranked experts, but he was not sure how. He did not know much about the ranks above the Saint rank, but now was not the time to consider it either.

He made a mental note of asking Lan later about the breakthrough into the King rank in detail, in order to learn everything so that they could prepare their own breakthrough.

But right now, the battle was still ongoing, and while Xue Wei was wondering if Bai Tianyi and Luoluo would reach the King rank, others began dying from having their energy tainted by the absorbed soul power.

As they realized that even a little tainted energy was deadly, many stopped their wanton absorption of the energy, but it was often too late for these experts. Many got killed even faster than before, causing the dense soul power in the surroundings to become even thicker.

It was at the point where Bai Tianyi had entered a frenzy. His eyes were red; a great smile was spilling over from his lips, and laughter ran in his surroundings.

Two massive swords were created from spiritual energy, and they were harvesting lives left and right.

He was descending into madness, but Xue Wei had no intention of stopping him. He understood the feeling of being drunk on killing, and Bai Tianyi was not entirely without rational thoughts yet.

He had not touched the members of the Demon Phoenix Continent yet, and the massive swords were collecting only the lives of their enemies.

Also, while Bai Tianyi seemed very controlled in everyday life, Xue Wei knew that he was actually just holding back his emotions.

He had been pursuing immortality, and when he finally became an artificial spirit, he was struck down by the men whom he considered friends, but who were also his rivals while being human.

He had been suppressed as a sword spirit for thousands of years, watching as maidens kept getting sacrificed time and time again to keep him imprisoned.

Being imprisoned for so long, it was only natural that he needed to vent his emotions, but he had never found a suitable situation before now.

It was not only Bai Tianyi who was running amok, Luoluo was also making frozen statues all around her, and her chilling smile made everyone try to run away from her.

She was young, but she was a real terror on the battlefield. No matter who she came across, they all ended up as a frozen statue.
