Chapter 499: Third-ranked Spirit Treasure (1/2)
“Boom!” A black energy of death billowed over like the night curtain and caused the Dragon Vein to turn and churn.
It slammed into the vessel so Feiyun cut his palm and swing his blood over. It ignited into flame and extinguished the engulfing energy.
“Bam!” A corpse was blown flying over his head and slammed stuck into the stone wall.
Feiyun glanced over and was slightly shaken. It was Wan Huazhu, a real-deal Giant!
The pavilion lord has fallen in this Dragon Vein.
The danger ahead could kill a Giant so Feiyun hesitated about moving forward.
The cries of the millennium spirit beast came about.
“Rumble!” A monster resembling a golden flood-dragon was running away. Three heads have been severed and six claws out of eight were gone. Half of its body had been cut off so only the front half spanning for several meters was running away.
This beast was powerful enough. As long as its soul was still there, it could still survive a decapitation.
This was a frightening scene like a beast running away from hell. The wounds had black smokes oozing out of it. The malefic energy of death was invading its body.
“A beast like this is tougher and faster than a Giant but this is still the result? It might have escaped but it won’t be able to refine that malefic energy. Death is inevitable.” Feiyun continued to watch the beast running like crazy on the river.
Despite its injuries and the malefic energy inside stopping it from using ten percent of its power, Feiyun right now couldn’t suppress it at all, not even with the King’s Order.
“Its strength is draining away; the malefic force must be eating its vitality. Just one more hour and it will be dead then I can grab its soul.”
“Refining this soul could boost my ring up to the third rank.” Feiyun was tempted but he remained patient and simply watched.
He was right. After an hour, the beast became increasingly slower as if it had fallen into a quagmire. Its scales were dark; life force sapped away by the malefic force.
“Such mighty death energy, even a millennium spirit beast can’t stop it.” Feiyun took out the King’s order and directly attacked the beast.
It exuded a golden light and split the beast in half.
“Boom!” A beast soul more than seventy meters long rose from the corpse. It had three heads, eight claws, and three wings. A great pressure came out in the form of radiance.
Just the soul alone was powerful enough. Feiyun wouldn’t have dared to get close if it wasn’t for the malefic energy eating away at it.
He fought against this soul that was growing weaker by the minute. Its cries became softer and softer, it wouldn’t be long now.
“Not good, the King’s Order is weakening too.” The order shouldered the wills of the previous kings. In order to use them for the most powerful attack, he needed to empower them with spirit stones.
The energy from these spirit stones was on the verge of depletion.
He put away the order and activated his own beast souls. He gathered the energy into his palm and did a full force attack, blowing the beast soul away.
He didn’t give it a chance to regain its breath so he continued forward, each strike encompassing the power from his entire body. After seventy-eight consecutive palms, the soul finally stopped moving.
Feiyun was also heaving and panting after using too much spirit energy.
It wasn’t easy taking one of this level down even though his phoenix soul was quite intimidating against other beasts. Today, he had all the advantages so he could finally take this one down.
He took out the ring and activated the six diagrams. A terrible black plume came out.
