Chapter 350: The Power of an Incomplete Star Beast

~7 min read 1,381 words

At the True Immortal realm, under normal circumstances, one is already very hard to kill.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, the Spirit, whose lifespan is nearly as long as that of a planet or a world, is not something those of the same realm can easily shatter—especially when that Spirit is still within the world brewed by its own power, making it even harder for a True Immortal.

Therefore, that ancestor of the Lingneng Clan came up with such a method that accomplishes several things at once.

But these matters no longer concern Baichuan. The Star Beast bloodline within his body has long since been purified, the Grey Mist Power within it removed, transformed into pure Star Beast Power.

Even though this Star Beast Power is incomplete, it is still extraordinary!

What it now grants him is an additional peculiar small "field" within himself. This "field" allows him to expend energy to actively generate and control his own Desolate Gold, to micro-modify his own structure according to his will, and to make his claws incomparably sharper!

Of course, there is also one most important passive effect—defense!

In the scene he once witnessed, when that tiger-shaped Desolate God descended, the cleanliness maintained around it was due to the influence of this field—it could obstruct all incoming force, while granting the opponent the power to manipulate air.

The special engine-like structures on its four limbs were the result of its subjective micro-modification of its own structure, allowing it to more efficiently utilize its characteristic of being able to manipulate air.

Using the power of airflow to drive itself, it unleashed incomparably swift, extraordinary speed.

Here, he named the special power granted by the field transformed from Star Beast Power as "Characteristic." The tiger-shaped Desolate God's characteristic was 【Airflow Manipulation】, while his was 【Sharpness】.

Of course, don't think his isn't as flashy as the other's ability to manipulate air. But if he were to fight that Desolate God now, Baichuan dares to guarantee that even without using his own power, merely controlling the power of a Desolate God (he now counts as one too), he could still easily crush the opponent.

No reason for it—he obtained a complete drop of Star Beast Source Blood, and the power gained can be benchmarked against that Desolate God, the ancestor of all Desolate Beasts in this world!

The seven Desolate Gods currently under Lingxin's command are nothing more than sharing a single portion of Source Blood.

Don't be fooled by the characteristic not being flashy—it is actually closer to that original Star Beast. The Sharpness characteristic grants him the ability to easily tear apart anything in this world! Even the "field" of that tiger-shaped Desolate God is no exception!

This single drop of Source Blood alone, combined with his own abilities, is enough to bring this body to the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, to contend with his true body, and even for a time his true body cannot take down this Bi'an body.

This is the effect of Star Beast Power—even when incomplete! Star Beasts are such terrifying creatures!

Of course, if it were within the world shrouded by his Light Point Power, it would be different. To a certain extent, that place can already be called a world under his control. Especially before his now even greater self, what matter if it's a Star Beast creature—it still has to kneel.

But such situations are too rare. Normally, when would there be a chance to fight within the world shrouded by his Light Point? Fighting in unfamiliar environments is far more common. Thus, only by bringing out his planet-body can he crush the opponent.

A planet-body can already be called a dimensional reduction strike.

Let's not mention that here. From the Desolate God's field, Baichuan seemed to sense a familiar power.

The Star Beast's "field"—the "Force Field" of Tianyuan Star!

He had once constructed the Force Field upon which the planet-body depended!

Looking at it now, the two seem to share some similarities.

A startling conjecture flickered vaguely in his mind, but given the lack of information, Baichuan currently had no intention of overthinking it—being too arbitrary is not his style.

He should seize the time to continue eroding more land.

After that day of communicating with Lingxin, he also revealed some important information to her, such as his ability to erode worlds. He didn't expect this to immediately make her take it seriously. She proactively suggested he hasten his erosion, while she dispatched the only seven Desolate Gods under her command to wreak havoc across the world, drawing the Lingneng Clan's attention.

All to buy him enough time to grow rapidly before the final great battle.

This is also why he has been able to remain so peaceful during this period.

There is no such thing as peaceful times in this world—it's just that someone else is bearing the burden for you.

……

Lun Kong City of Nanhua Continent—this is the Lingneng Clan's arsenal, an important city supplying artillery fire for all the fleets along the entire western front of the Lingneng Clan. The massive steel construct spanning the land lies like a giant slumbering upon the earth, cold and unyielding!

Yet now, this place is a scene of utter devastation. Within the torrential curtain of rain, artillery fire thunders like thunder. Lasers emitting brilliant light continuously shoot forth from enormous artillery platforms, or from colossal humanoid weapons. The powerful energy scorches the air, and billowing thick smoke of a burnt stench hangs over this once-prosperous steel city like dark clouds—the sounds and smoke like the angry roars and exhaled fetid breath of a giant!

Looking closely, one seems to see within the thick curtain of rain a massive black creature flashing with blue light, spreading its wings in flight, its pair of orange eyes like inextinguishable candles in a rainy night, dazzling and arresting.

Meanwhile, numerous colossal humanoid weapons spewing flames of light and flashing deadly red are attempting to approach that creature!

"Screech, screech, screech—!"

A bird cry that could pierce metal and split stone suddenly rang out, carrying a vast, desolate aura that echoed to the heavens. For a moment, even the clouds formed by the thick smoke in the sky paused. The next instant, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed, winds gradually rose, and coalesced into a violent, extreme hurricane.

The rain grew even more torrential and heavy. Each drop of rainwater seemed to transform into a sharp sword, carrying incomparable weight and penetrating power, sweeping down upon the steel city below under the hurricane's embrace.

In an instant, those humanoid weapons attempting to approach instantly plummeted like torn sacks.

This is the creature of wind and water in fury, in destruction!

Three hours later, as numerous even more powerful auras were about to arrive, that blue-glowing creature with orange eyes flapped its wings once more, carrying boundless wind and rain as it swiftly departed.

Just as I came lightly, a flutter of wings brought a swath of destruction; then I left lightly, leaving devastation across the land.

It is one of the seven Desolate Gods under Lingxin's command. By its master's order, it came to destroy this important city of the Lingneng Clan, doing its utmost to draw the Lingneng Clan's attention.

This is a very dangerous task. It is not the only one doing such a thing—all seven Desolate Gods under the master must do the same.

Such a thing has never happened before, yet now this bizarre event has occurred just like that.

I heard from Tiger that it seems to be because of a little fellow with a polluted bloodline?

Very weak and with a very mixed aura? Knows nothing, but somehow gained the master's favor.

The specific reason, It does not know.

But the master gave the order, and It simply obeys.

Just as the master once saved It, if the master orders It to do this, It does it.

But the companions might complain.

Little fellow, keep it up. I hope you can withstand their small grumbles later, and not disappoint the master's trust……

Within the curtain of rain, the Desolate God gliding on its wings silently cheered on for a certain "little fellow" in the distance.
