Chapter 26: Xiadie's Spirit Skill, the Appearance of Boluokesi
No, how could you dare?
Setting aside the killing intent Di Tian wore on his face, the other people and beasts present were all stunned by Xiadie's words.
Right in front of the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest (on the surface), she openly stated she hoped a 270,000-year-old fierce beast would sacrifice itself.
Not to mention the beast in question, which was currently still "aba-aba," the kind that might even drool if cured.
Just for the word "sacrifice," how did you dare to say it?
It was simply throwing the face of the Star Dou Great Forest's Beast God onto the ground and then stomping on it hard several times.
What difference did this have from making the Beast God Di Tian voluntarily admit to calling himself an old slave to a certain human?
Is it possible?
Is this possible?
The three pairs of protruding eyeballs of Chi Wang had their blood-red glow fade away.
The entire dog wore an expression as if looking at an idiot.
Their boss's anger level must be skyrocketing, the kind that was completely impossible to suppress.
The purple-haired brat before them truly had a path to death.
Xu Jiujiu, Manyi, and the Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er were also dumbfounded.
Xiadie, are you really this brave?
What kind of trump card did that teacher of yours leave for you!
Beast God Di Tian, the continent's number one beast.
A terrifying existence that even the Dragon God Mu En felt he could not defeat if he were not in Shrek City.
"Mi-Miss Xiadie."
Wang Xian'er opened her mouth, subconsciously using an honorific.
Xiadie did not reply, giving Wang Xian'er and the others a reassuring look.
"Brat, are you not afraid of death?"
Di Tian's face was filled with fury, his golden eyes brimming with bloodthirsty cruelty.
"Death is the withering of life; no one is without fear. No matter how determined one is, the instincts of the cells and the body will always have a will to survive at the very last moment."
Xiadie spoke calmly. Her words made question marks faintly appear in Di Tian's mind, and before Di Tian could think further, her voice came again,
"Lord Beast God, Yao Ling is already a 270,000-year-old fierce beast. It suffered quite severe injuries when fighting humans in the past, as well as this current soul trauma."
"Even with your auspicious beast in existence, it has no possibility of surviving the 300,000-year great tribulation."
"Is it or is it not?" Xiadie even asked a follow-up question.
"Continue," Di Tian said coldly.
Xiadie nodded: "If I become a god, I can help it resurrect."
"A joke." Before Di Tian could respond, Chi Wang on the side said angrily, "Become a god?"
"Just by relying on you?"
"Except for the Sea God Tang San, the Tianshen Qian Renxue, and the Luoshen Bi Bi Dong from ten thousand years ago."
"The entire continent has not produced a god in ten thousand years."
"Why do you think you can?"
"Regardless, Yao Ling still has at least 30,000 years of lifespan. Even your human Limit Douluo, even back in the day, could only live for at most a thousand-plus years."
"Human, we fierce beasts are not those brain-damaged Spirit Beasts that transformed."
"Also, why should we trust humans?"
"I have also seen countless humans with exceptional talent as Spirit Masters who, in the end, either lost their lives or got stuck at a bottleneck, unable to advance an inch until they aged and died."
"Are you asking us to gamble on that slim hope?"
"Even if we resurrect as you say after you become a god, then..."
"How much independent autonomy would we have?"
"Heh..." Chi Wang laughed disdainfully, "Humans are insidious and cunning. When it comes down to it, you are just lying, seizing the power of us Spirit Beasts. You are just predators."
"Predators, are we?" Xiadie did not refute, "Perhaps what you say is not false."
"Tens of thousands of years ago, humans were kept in captivity by you; we just changed from prey into an existence capable of contending with you."
"Is that not so, Lord Chi Wang?"
"Roar~"
Chi Wang roared, his three heads sounding in unison.
Bursts of flames rose beneath his feet.
His entire body turned into an arrow released from a bow, charging toward Xiadie.
The surging flames scorched the air, making it "crackle."
Xiadie did not have any panic; the expression on her face remained indifferent.
There was not the slightest bit of fear.
The next moment.
An extreme aura of death began to spread with Xiadie as the center.
The Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife, or rather, the Blade of Life's Watch forged from Life Gold, appeared in Xiadie's hand.
Within the fifty-meter diameter of the Yishi Mingyu, the Anti-Spirit Flowers all opened at once.
The silent power of death began to converge toward the Blade of Life's Watch.
Death and life reached a balance at this moment.
There were no flashy light effects, no deafening booms; the air simply grew a few degrees colder. Even amidst the scorching flames of Chi Wang, the air inexplicably produced a chill.
Like a late autumn night breeze blowing from the depths of a graveyard, Yishi Mingyu swirled with soil and a few petals, intermingled with a scent of decay.
A purple outline covered the Blade of Life's Watch, merging completely with the Life Breath it emitted.
A scythe thus appeared in Xiadie's hands.
The scythe was generally patterned with purple veins, and its handle was very long, much taller than Xiadie's current height.
"Slumber."
"First Soul Skill—Ripples of the Dead Sea."
A purple soul ring slowly rose from beneath Xiadie's feet.
The solitary soul ring had no special hue, fitting so perfectly with the color of the entire Domain and the color scheme of the scythe.
Xiadie gripped the handle with both hands and swung the scythe in front of her a few times.
Then, she switched from two hands to one.
With a flick of her right wrist, she swung it out lightly.
"Hiss—"
A slash appeared in the sky directly ahead.
A blade of energy, gathered from purple death energy, flew out, grazing the air.
It blocked the ambushing Chi Wang.
Chi Wang felt himself being locked onto.
But he was confident in his strength, comparable to a rank 97 Titled Douluo, and feared nothing at all.
Besides, Boss Di Tian had not stopped him.
This meant the boss had already acted, and the Auspicious Beast was secure.
Wouldn't that mean he could just kill these few people to sacrifice to the banner?
"What can a bit of death energy do to me?" Chi Wang roared, his three heads all letting out beastly howls, "Human, I will show you."
"In the face of absolute strength, any fancy tricks are meaningless."
That was right, that was what Chi Wang believed.
As long as his own strength was sufficient, any Extreme Attribute was just trash.
A 310,000-year-old Fierce Beast vs. a one-ring Soul Master.
The advantage is mine.
"Rip—"
The sound rang out again, and that streak of purple energy stalled.
It hovered in the position where Chi Wang was about to arrive.
The purple light expanded rapidly, like a straight vertical scar.
It was drawn from top to bottom from high in the sky in a single stroke.
"Zzzzz"
The purple light split open again, revealing a deep sound similar to space shattering.
"That... what is that?"
Chi Wang's pupils contracted, before he could even see clearly that rift which looked as if it had been torn open.
He saw a purple claw reach out from the space within, the claw's reflection on the ground revealing a massive outline.
The moment the purple claw reached out of the space, Chi Wang felt a deadly crisis.
"Boom."
The purple claw descended, slamming heavily into the ground.
The earth shook violently.
Chi Wang's body was sent flying backward, smashing through branches along the way.
On the surface of the ground, a massive claw print appeared.
The claw print was deeply embedded in the soil.
In an instant, the claw that had landed on the ground dissipated into specks of luster, all the energy returning to the heavens and earth.
Di Tian looked up.
In that rapidly closing purple space, he saw a pair of deep, giant pupils.
Oppressive, terrifying...
As if they were eyes situated within the Underworld.
Di Tian was silent, quietly watching the purple streamers in the sky close up, the death energy that had seeped out quickly returning to nothingness.
