Chapter 319: The Hundred Thousand Year Magic Shadow Beast

"It's coming. Sky Spirit Horse, for the sake of safety, you go inside here first." Sensing a powerful force about to strike, Nan Feihuang immediately opened the storage soul guidance device belt at his waist, the magnificent golden Glorious Seizing Belt, and drew the Sky Spirit Horse inside.

This Sky Spirit Horse's strength was only twenty thousand years, a bit stronger than a Soul Emperor. The coming battlefield would be at the Title Douluo level, so it was quite dangerous for it to stay outside.

Since it had provided help to Feihuang, Feihuang had an obligation to protect it.

This Glorious Seizing Belt was one of the national treasures of the Gulei Kingdom; not only was its storage volume very large, but it could also store living creatures. The Sky Spirit Horse would be completely unaffected staying inside for a while.

The Sky Spirit Horse did not hesitate either and dove straight in; after all, the order its king had given it was to obediently listen to Nan Feihuang.

How could it ever defy the king of horses?

Having protected the Sky Spirit Horse, Feihuang hid himself once again.

The Magic Shadow Beast subconsciously walked toward that flower, as if a voice in the depths of its heart was calling out: Eat it, eat this flower!

Nan Feihuang nodded, "Ninety-seven thousand years; this cultivation is truly not weak. In that case, that poisonous Immortal Herb will certainly be enough to raise it to the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast level."

The medicinal power took effect within the Magic Shadow Beast's body, causing its entire body's soul power to begin to riot. The Magic Shadow Beast was greatly surprised and immediately set about regulating the soul power within its body.

A light flashed in the Magic Shadow Beast's eyes, locking onto the Fangtian Halberd in Nan Feihuang's hand. The next moment, it was also holding an identical Fangtian Halberd in its hand, only several times larger than the one Nan Feihuang held.

"Second Soul Skill, Eight Gates Golden Lock!"

The Magic Shadow Beast's other ability, replication: fighting against an opponent is actually equivalent to fighting against another version of oneself.

Before long, it became a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, and even at this point, the rise of its cultivation did not stop.

In fact, this was the ability of the fragrance emitted by this poisonous Immortal Herb; it could bewilder a person's mind and induce them to consume it.

In the sky, the eight large characters of the Eight Gates Golden Lock appeared. Because the Magic Shadow Beast's cultivation was much higher than Nan Feihuang's, it was not immobilized, only slowed down.

For Nan Feihuang, this was enough.

Otherwise, Dugu Bo, who lived in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, would likely have already fallen for the trick, unable to resist the temptation to consume this poisonous Immortal Herb, only for his strength to skyrocket and then meet his Death.

In the center of an open space, a flower as black as ink was planted; that floral fragrance was what it was emitting.

Its height was about ten meters, slightly shorter than a Titan Giant Ape. After all, this type of soul beast did not rely on strength for a living; this size was already quite good.

After the Magic Shadow Beast arrived at the place where the Sky Spirit Horse's aura had been, it scanned the surroundings with a puzzled gaze.

It could clearly sense the residual power of the Sky Spirit Horse, but why had its aura disappeared? Could it have sensed its arrival and slipped away in advance?

However, logically speaking, given its strength, unless this Sky Spirit Horse's cultivation was over fifty thousand years, it would be impossible to sense it and escape in advance. Even if it had escaped, its speed could not possibly be so fast that its aura vanished in an instant.

Soul beasts that choose the path of transformation are, after all, in the minority. Those with slightly stronger lineages basically all want to challenge the Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation; as long as they survive it, they have a chance to become a Ferocious Beast.

Ninety-eight thousand years, ninety-nine thousand years, one hundred thousand years.

"Hehe, it's a new name I gave this soul beast. Old Poison, compared to Magic Shadow Beast, don't you think the name Zoroark sounds cooler?" Nan Feihuang laughed.

Even a Title Douluo might not be able to resist this temptation.

Fortunately, this flower used to be planted inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and there was a Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Product nearby that dispersed the poisonous gas of this poisonous Immortal Herb.

Nan Feihuang, on the other hand, was immune to all poisons because he had consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, so he was not afraid of being lured by this fragrance.

And the Sky Spirit Horse it had sensed had a cultivation of at most a little over twenty thousand years; it was too bizarre.

"Zoroark? What is that thing? This is a Magic Shadow Beast," Dugu Bo said in confusion; he had never heard of a soul beast called Zoroark.

This Magic Shadow Beast did not choose to transform, but instead maintained the posture of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment, "According to rumors, its cultivation should be among the best in the Sunset Forest, one of the soul beasts closest to the Hundred Thousand Year level, probably over ninety thousand years. Seeing it in reality now, I'm afraid it's even higher than the rumors, not lower than ninety-seven thousand years."

"It is cooler, but what is the use of giving such a nice name to a guy who is about to face Death?" Dugu Bo retorted.

"Whoa, Zoroark, this soul beast's appearance is really cool," Nan Feihuang said in surprise. This soul beast's appearance was truly too similar to Zoroark.

As for this Magic Shadow Beast, it did not have the good luck of Dugu Bo and Nan Feihuang. It subconsciously reached out its hand, grasped the root of the Immortal Herb, pulled hard, and plucked the Immortal Herb out. Then it opened its mouth, placed the Immortal Herb into its mouth, and chewed and swallowed it.

It discovered that its cultivation suddenly began to skyrocket at an extremely fast speed.

Nan Feihuang slashed at it with his Halberd. The Magic Shadow Beast's eyes turned cold—who was so blind as to come and pull the tiger's whiskers just as it had become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast? Did they not want to live?

Looking closely, it was actually a human youth, and only a quasi-Spirit Saint who had just reached level seventy. This level of cultivation was just right for it to test its strength now that it had reached the Hundred Thousand Year level.

After searching for a while to no avail, the Magic Shadow Beast had to prepare to leave in disappointment; it seemed it would not be able to enjoy this gourmet meal.

It could merge itself into shadows; it was by relying on this ability that it had always succeeded in evading the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall who wanted to hunt it.

However, just as it had taken a step, a whiff of floral fragrance suddenly attracted it.

Strike first to gain the advantage. According to the information recorded by Qian Renxue, the Magic Shadow Beast is extremely fast and its attacks are bizarre. To hunt it, one must first restrict its movements, and secondly, be wary of its skill, Shadow Fusion.

"Consider it a gift before its Death. Hey, Old Poison, can you tell what this guy's age is?"

Before long, a pitch-black, enormous figure appeared within the forest, looking around in confusion; it was precisely that Magic Shadow Beast.

"Hahaha, what a powerful Immortal Herb, it actually allowed me to reach the Hundred Thousand Year level in one go!" The Magic Shadow Beast was overjoyed. After becoming a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, it could already speak human language; its voice was hoarse and low, somewhat similar to that Ghost Douluo.

"It's time, Old Poison. I'm going to make my move; you cover for me." Feihuang wanted to test his current strength and did not let Dugu Bo intervene immediately; he wanted to fight this Hundred Thousand Year Magic Shadow Beast one-on-one.

But Qian Renxue's information had mentioned the weakness of this move: the Magic Shadow Beast's replication, while able to copy the opponent's martial soul, could not copy the Spirit Master's own combat techniques.

In other words, this Magic Shadow Beast absolutely could not use Feihuang's Overlord Halberd Technique and Ghost God Halberd Technique.
