Chapter 357: Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul, Kun Whale, My Sage Spirit Is About To Leave Me Again
Chu Kuangren was sitting on a giant emerald rock at the moment while he held a cup of wine that nobody knew where he got it from, drinking it enjoyably.
Only after the Nine-Headed Snakelet had destroyed all his sword qi clones did he slowly lift his chin. “Oh, you’re finally done. What a wild beast indeed.”
The corner of Li Ze’s lips twitched at that.
It seemed to him that this Chu Kuangren was not even taking the Nine-Headed Snakelet seriously. No matter what, he was dealing with an ancient wild beast!
Could he not show it some respect at least?!
“B*stard, I’m going to eat you up!!”
The Nine-Headed Beast growled fiercely as it charged toward Chu Kuangren, wanting to rip him apart.
It was at this moment when countless sword qi abruptly emerged from the ground and interweaved in the sky to form a sword qi wall!
The Nine-Headed Snakelet’s head bashed against the sword qi wall and it rebounded backward.
“What is this?”
Li Ze’s expression shifted.
Then, he stared at the longswords that were scattered all over the ground.
These longswords were now vibrating. It turned out that the sword qi wall that came out of nowhere was the doings of these swords. Although there were no sword qi clones, terrifying sword qi still emitted from the surface of these swords!!
“Sword formation, activate!”
Chu Kuangren simply said.
Those swords that laid on the ground suddenly leaped into the air and hovered around the Nine-Headed Snakelet, forming an extremely mystical sword formation!
There were a total of three hundred and sixty-five swords!
It was the Four Seasons Sword Formation!
“How does this guy have so many tricks up his sleeves?!”
First, the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, then the sword qi clones, and now this sword formation. Each one of these tricks was not just anything but Emperor-Grade techniques!
How could Chu Kuangren, someone who was barely at the level of a Sage, have so many Emperor-Grade techniques up his sleeves? This was absolutely ridiculous. Not even those from the unknown lands would have this many Emperor-Grade techniques!
The moment the Four Seasons Sword Formation was initiated, surges after surges of sword qi seeped in and out of the sword formation. Emanating with the energy of the inter-changing four seasons and endless mysterious Daoist Rhymes, even the Nine-Headed Snakelet was feeling the pressure under such power!
“This is my first time using this Four Seasons Sword Formation ever since I broke through to the Supreme Honorable Realm, so let me just test its power on you.”
Chu Kuangren smiled gently.
The sword qi kept drifting in and out, placing the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s body under a barrage of attacks. This power was much more ruthless than using thousands of sword qi clones.
The Nine-Headed Snakelet spouted flames and water to attack the sword formation!
However, no matter what he did, the sword formation did not look like it was about to be damaged. With Chu Kuangren’s current strength level, no one below the level of a Sage Ruler would stand a chance at cracking open this sword formation.
This sword formation could even hold Sages Rulers back for quite a long while.
In his prime, the Nine-Headed Snakelet might have been able to break open this sword formation. However, now that he had just returned to his body and devoured a huge amount of blood and flesh essences, his current strength was still a good distance away from that of a Sage Ruler.
The four seasons interchanged, and the natural phenomena shifted. Inside the sword formation, the endless sword qi had formed an enormous rainbow-colored sword shadow high up in the air. With the magnificent power of nature, the sword shadow smashed down brutally at the Nine-Headed Snakelet!!
This sword shadow directly landed a terrifying blow onto one of the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s heads and chopped it off!
Boom...
The giant, molehill-sized head fell onto the floor, sweeping up a small gust of debris.
The Nine-Headed Snakelet yelled in agonizing pain!
Li Ze, who was watching the scene unfold from afar, shuddered in fear.
‘Is the Nine-Headed Snakelet... about to lose?!’
“No way, no freaking way!”
“I’ve spent so much time and effort on him. I’ve even cast an insanely difficult Craggy Ocean Curse technique on him. How could he just die like that?!”
The Nine-Headed Snakelet was an ancient wild beast that had exponential potential.
The Sage Ruler Realm may not even be its limit.
As long as he continued to cultivate, there was a huge chance that he could become an Emperor in the future. How could Li Ze be willing to let go of such a useful assistant?
“Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul, Kun Whale!!”
Li Ze let out a loud cry and spiritual power coursed through his entire body. An incredibly magical Daoist Rhyme surged out and interweaved in the air, forming an extremely unique image, which looked like a giant whale.
The Craggy Ocean Tower was a very ancient orthodoxy. Their cultivation techniques were derived from their observations of the various strange mythical beasts that existed in the world.
The higher-leveled cultivators of the Craggy Ocean Tower even had an item called the Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul. It could be used to capture different types of rare beasts by extracting their souls and then refining using some sort of secret technique.
Each person could only have one bestial soul in their life, and Li Ze’s Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul was a mythical beast named the Kun Whale!
This was a very ruthless ancient strange beast, in which its potential was not that far off from an ancient wild beast like the Nine-Headed Snakelet.
In the Craggy Ocean Tower, there were only a handful of bestial souls that were of this grade!
In the void, the image of that beast named Kun Whale slowly materialized. An ancient strange beast that was ever so domineering then leaped out from thin air.
“Woo...”
An odd howl reverberated in the void.
Sounds of wave splashing could be heard vaguely as well.
“Go!”
Li Ze yelled out, commanding the Kun Whale to charge at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was bewildered.
“Oh? I didn’t know that you’re a conjurer too.”
Just as he was preparing himself to face that strange beast, Kun Whale, a silvery-white figure suddenly put itself before him. Tremendous amounts of Light-based Daoist Rhymes poured out like a waterfall, and a huge white shield appeared out of thin air.
When the Kun Whale collided with the shield, a rumbling sound erupted.
The rainwater all around them shattered.
Lan Yu’s face was a little pale, but she had managed to block off this giant Kun Whale’s hit. “Master, you go take care of the Nine-Headed Snakelet. You can leave this empyrean walker to me.”
Chu Kuangren looked somewhat puzzled.
He was just about to say something when he saw the determination on Lan Yu’s face. Hence, all he did was nod. “Be careful then.”
“Surely.”
The Scepter of Light appeared in Lan Yu’s hand, and silvery-white armor covered her body. The dense Light-based Daoist Rhyme once again burst out. She stared at Li Ze with her sapphire-like eyes, which was bone-piercing cold.
“Empyrean walker, come. Show me what you’ve got!”
“Oh, Young Emperor Lan Yu. I know you. But with your standard, how many of my attacks do you think you can endure before you fall?!”
Li Ze sneered coldly before he redirected the Kun Whale at Lan Yu again.
“Holy Incineration!”
Without entertaining him further, Lan Yu unleashed a big chunk of her spiritual power onto the scepter, which now burned with huge white flames. Then, she struck it toward her enemy.
Lan Yu was sent flying amidst the collision, but the white flames did land on that Kun Whale bestial soul too. Caught in the flames, the invisible bestial soul squealed miserably in pain.
Since Li Ze was mentally connected to the bestial soul, he too felt that and his expression changed. “This fire can actually burn the bestial soul. This is not an ordinary flame. In fact, it contains a Light-based Daoist Rhyme that could purge all impurities.”
This one hit made Li Ze take Lan Yu seriously.
The two of them dueled once again.
Chu Kuangren, on the other hand, was controlling the Four Seasons Sword Formation as he continued to attack the Nine-Headed Snakelet. Very soon, his enemy had sustained an unprecedented degree of damage.
Of his nine heads, three had been chopped off.
Chu Kuangren moved his thoughts and a pitch-black chain suddenly appeared in his hand. It was the item that he had not used for a long time, the Soul Retriever!
“Go!”
The Soul Retriever glided across the sky and went through the sword formation.
For the Soul Retriever which specialized in attacking the soul, that sturdy body of the Nine-Headed Snakelet was like nothing as it immediately found its way in and hooked onto its target.
Lost in a trance from sustaining all the heavy injuries, the Nine-Headed Snakelet howled in despair as if it could feel a sense of tremendous dread.
“This feeling... My soul!”
“My Sage spirit, it’s about to leave me again!! Ahhh!”
