Chapter 152 External Soul Bone! Bloodline Broken Again! (Two Chapters Combined)
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared directly at Xiao Yan with resolute eyes.
"???"
Xiao Yan fell silent.
Looking at the posture of the amethyst winged lion king before him, he was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
He threatened, lured, and even deliberately displayed undisguised mockery, believing his behavior to be so arrogant as to be that of an envoy visiting an enemy country to humiliate the king to his face.
This king, who had been entrenched in the Monster Mountain Range for many years, not only did not get angry, but even surrendered directly?
Xiao Yan couldn't understand, and glanced at the large snake and monkey beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Both of them stared intently at him, their eyes overflowing with admiration and respect. Clearly, in their eyes, subduing the enemy without a fight and winning over a sixth-tier king without shedding blood was truly a brilliant and divine feat, winning the hearts of all beasts.
So, what exactly did I do?
Xiao Yan considered it for a moment, and even began to suspect that the other party was only pretending to submit, waiting for him to lower his guard before launching a fatal counterattack.
But it doesn't matter. Even if the other party has ulterior motives, he has ways to make them reveal their weaknesses.
Xiao Yan turned his gaze to the giant snake and the monkey, his eyes calm yet carrying an unspoken understanding.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged a single glance with the Blue Silver Emperor and understood everything through their connection.
Instruct me! The art of sacrifice!
Although they do not have the ability to inherit from the bloodline of the native magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, as soul beasts that have lived for more than 100,000 years, they are familiar with the sacrificial method.
This ultimate method, imprinted deep within the soul of every high-level soul beast, is something they are naturally very familiar with.
Can it be passed on to other magical beasts?
This has always been an unresolved issue.
Because no soul beast would be foolish enough to teach such a "suicide technique" to its own kind, let alone to a different race.
But at this moment, we have the perfect subjects for our experiment.
If the Amethyst Winged Lion King truly submits, it wouldn't matter if he learned the method of sacrifice; it would be harmful to him.
If it feigns submission, then the moment the sacrificial ritual is truly performed, it will be irreversible and uninterrupted, and any pretense will be exposed.
"The giant snake," Xiao Yan said.
The azure ox-python understood and stepped forward, then solemnly began to teach the method of sacrifice.
"A sacrifice?!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes suddenly contracted. Sacrificing himself to help others, because of his different understanding, he imparted everything without reservation, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
This is absolutely outrageous.
But he did not refuse.
They didn't even show the slightest resistance.
He listened attentively, learning every single word.
It looked like they really wanted to learn how to use it.
Xiao Yan glanced at it, then looked away.
They're putting on quite a convincing act.
But he didn't take the Amethyst Winged Lion King's little scheme to heart. In fact, he had already made thorough preparations for the worst-case scenario.
Now we have Brigitte.
The emerald swan's exceptional regenerative abilities, along with its ability to convert damage into healing or even reflect attacks, increased his already 90% confidence by another 20%.
Absolutely a success!
Foolproof!
But digestion was the primary task, so Xiao Yan focused his mind on his body to examine the unexpected greatest gain.
Suddenly, a pair of emerald green wings unfolded from his back.
Emerald Swan Wings!
Another external soul bone! And its power far surpasses any of the soul bones he currently possesses.
Basic skill: Absorbs 30% of the enemy's health within the skill's range. This effect not only applies to the opponent but also benefits the user.
What does this mean?
Even if the opponent is a Dou Wang, Dou Huang or even higher realm, with nearly 30% of their life force suddenly weakened, their combat power will be reduced by more than 10%. With this ebb and flow, the balance of victory will naturally tilt in their favor.
Even more terrifying is that every feather formed when the Emerald Swan Wings unfolds carries the property of causing the enemy to continuously lose life force. This property even surpasses the Withering Palm - Withering Palm, no, it doesn't surpass it, but rather it covers it.
It turned its entire body into "withered palms".
The longer the battle lasts, the weaker the opponent becomes.
Meanwhile, he was constantly absorbing the opponent's life force to heal himself, enhance his attacks, and even convert some of the damage into healing while reflecting the rest back at the enemy.
If it were to combine with the Myriad Transformations Spirit Wood Body—
A strange light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
That would be a near-immortal existence, and driven by this, his body-refining technique even directly advanced to the minor completion stage.
A severed arm regenerated!
It's merely a description of a degree.
In addition, it heals, purifies, and dispels —
All the blind spots that had once troubled him were now completely eliminated.
The original soul skills, nourished by this boundless vitality, have become even more powerful and effective.
He even had a strong intuition.
If he were to truly fuse the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul with the Emerald Swan Martial Soul, and then use the Myriad Transformations Spirit Wood Body as a foundation, he would reach the level of immortality described in that technique.
Even if the Dou Huang himself were to arrive at that time...
Killing him would come at a terrible price.
Although it has not been truly tested in actual combat.
But Xiao Yan could clearly sense the unprecedented, surging life force within his body.
He could even simply wave his hand and use the naturally generated life energy to create a Blue Silver Grass that was a hundred-year-old soul beast!
It's not difficult to exert one's full strength for a thousand years, but it will take ten thousand years.
"—He's becoming less and less human."
Xiao Yan muttered to himself, but his tone revealed little regret.
He slowly focused his mind, his senses sinking deeper, where a pale golden halo was slowly flowing around the phantom of his heart, and his blood was mixed with a touch of gold.
The Xiao family possesses the bloodline of a Dou Di!
After Brigitte joins, break through another level!
The effect was exactly as he had anticipated; the value of a single jade swan was almost equivalent to that of ten 100,000-year-old soul beasts!
More importantly, her life attribute is perfectly compatible with Xiao Yan's wood attribute cultivation technique, Xuanmu Gong.
Bi Ji's talent in cultivating this technique subtly surpassed his own, a descendant of a Dou Di who had just broken through to the next level of bloodline. Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel an urge to harm himself, but he ultimately restrained himself.
Although various speculations have proven that, at least within the Gama Empire, he is, in a sense, an "immortal being".
But it will still hurt.
After a while.
Xiao Yan suppressed his distracting thoughts and sat down cross-legged outside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave in the heart of the Monster Mountain Range.
Without any scruples.
Unscrupulous.
The next moment, a dazzling light shone from behind him and in his palm.
On his left hand, a blue-gold martial soul phantom slowly bloomed, like an emperor descending to earth, majestic and solemn. Every vein of the leaf flowed with noble golden light, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul!
Behind him, layers of emerald light transformed into the outstretched wings of a bird, its emerald feathers like plumes, brimming with vitality—the Emerald Swan Martial Soul!
-
Xiao Yan closed his eyes.
The Myriad Transformations Spirit Wood Body operates.
Two streams of green energy, originating from the same source, tentatively approached each other in his palm. There was no repulsion or conflict as expected, and not even any stagnation!
Once touched, they naturally intertwine, merge, and resonate.
An indescribable, boundless vitality silently spread in all directions from Xiao Yan's center.
That wasn't intimidation.
It's not temptation, but lure.
A pure, extreme signal of greed stemming from the instinct of life.
This moment.
Inside and outside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave, all sentient beings froze simultaneously.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly stood up, its beastly pupils shrinking to needles as it stared intently at the figure sitting cross-legged, its throat emitting a suppressed, heavy panting.
Deep within the cave, the little amethyst winged lion king, who had been carefree playing with the broken crystals, let out a tender yet restless roar.
then!
The roar spread rapidly outwards from the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave, like ripples.
Take a breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Throughout the entire Monster Mountain Range, wherever monsters dwell, frenzied roars echoed from one peak to another!
That was the roar of greed.
It originates from the depths of one's bloodline, an uncontrollable instinctive impulse when encountering a "treasure," and one can break through by consuming it.
Break free from constraints and step into an unprecedented realm.
Not just them.
Even the giant snake and the monkey began to breathe heavily.
The Azure Bull Python stared intently at Xiao Yan's back, its throat bobbing. The Azure-Black Titan Ape clenched its fists, a hint of crimson flashing in its eyes that it itself didn't even notice.
That feeling—it was so intense.
So strong that even those beings with a complete 100,000-year-old wisdom, connected to the soul of the Blue Silver Emperor, had this thought!
Devour him!
breakthrough!
Get stronger!
The thought arose at the very instant.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape suddenly exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and wariness in each other's eyes. Their gazes turned simultaneously to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The lion king's mouth was agape, its eyes swirling with a frenzied struggle and desire, but it was when it sensed the wary gazes directed at it by the two beasts that it realized what was happening.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King shuddered. He abruptly shut his mouth, his throat bobbing as he swallowed back the surging greed.
The crimson in the beast's eyes receded like a tide, replaced by a fleeting sense of lingering fear and relief.
I almost fell for it again.
This human not only has the means to enhance his strength and overturn cognition, but he can also refine himself into something like this—bait.
Just a moment ago, he even sensed the aura of a Dou Huang.
Despite being merely a fourth-tier human, he unleashed a power in that instant comparable to a sixth-tier magical beast, commanding the submission of all other beasts.
If he hadn't made that decision—
The Amethyst Winged Lion King lowered its head, no longer daring to look directly at the figure sitting cross-legged.
If he truly loses control, he will face a combined attack from the Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and that swan. Soon, he will be reduced to a solitary demon core, lying quietly on the land he once ruled.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly realized that this was probably the best decision he had ever made.
He took a deep breath.
Raising its head towards the sky, it let out a majestic and powerful lion's roar!
The roar shook the mountains and forests, carrying the warning and suppression of the king of the Monster Mountain Range, and crashed over every raging, howling mountain peak like thunder.
In an instant.
All the beasts fell silent.
The greedy roar was forcibly suppressed deep in his throat, replaced by an instinctive awe and submission to royal power.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly lowered its head, its beastly eyes meeting those of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
There was no provocation, no resentment in those eyes.
There was only one kind of peace.
The Azure Bull Python narrowed its eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
From initial vigilance and greed, to current forbearance, submission, and even proactively suppressing all beasts for the king —
This lion's attitude changed far too quickly.
A thought suddenly surged in the mind of the Azure Bull Python:
Blue Silver Emperor — he truly understands the hearts of beasts.
From myself, to Sister Xiaowu, to Brigitte, and then to this lion king who has been entrenched in the Monster Mountain Range for many years.
Every step felt like stepping on the place I longed for most.
Even if you know it's bait, even if you know there's an abyss ahead.
They would still convince themselves to jump willingly—no wonder Sister Xiaowu was so devoted.
Even if it were me, I would make the same choice!
Immediately, the Amethyst Winged Lion King forcibly withdrew its attention from the mysterious human, suppressed the complex emotions surging within it, and looked with its beastly eyes, which were still imparting secret techniques, at the two beasts, signaling them to continue.
However, this series of sudden roars, along with the amethyst winged lion king, the overt ruler of the Monster Mountain Range, whose roar of authority suppressed all beasts, frightened away countless mercenary groups and lone hunters who had ventured deep into the mountains.
Is this a harbinger of a beast tide?
This idea spread like a plague among the people.
In an instant, the various teams abandoned their prey, packed up their supplies, and hurriedly retreated from the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, retreating back into the human-built cities to await battle.
Utan City, as one of the important nodes around the Monster Mountain Range, is naturally included in this list.
The Xiao family was also affected by this sudden news.
Whenever a beast tide comes, it is these families who live near the mountains who suffer the greatest impact.
One of the reasons the Xiao family was able to gain a foothold in this place was that they survived these repeated beast tides.
"Chieftain! Chieftain!"
Inside the Xiao family meeting room, the First Elder frowned and called out to Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat and was clearly distracted.
Xiao Zhan was slightly startled, and came back to his senses when he was called out.
He glanced around the council chamber at the solemn and anxious faces, realizing that he had just lost his composure.
But at this moment, he found it difficult to focus his attention entirely on the threat of the yet-to-be-occurred beast tide.
Because of another matter, which weighed equally, or even more heavily, on the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family.
Once upon a time, or rather, not long ago.
He was also famous in Wutan City, the number one genius of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan, who broke through to the Dou Zhe realm at the age of eleven.
His battle aura level is decreasing.
He has fallen back to the ninth level of Dou Qi.
The Xiao family did try to save the situation.
They took it seriously, tried it, and even paid a huge price at the first moment, sacrificing the interests of most of their clan members to purchase several high-grade pills, just to stabilize or even cure the inexplicably lost battle qi.
But it was to no avail.
They could only watch helplessly as the number one genius, on whom countless people in the Jia Ma Empire had placed their hopes, saw his cultivation level dissipate bit by bit, like sand slipping through their fingers.
What's most chilling is...
This downward trend has not yet stopped.
If this continues—
The level of fighting spirit is eighth stage, or even lower.
The elder opened his mouth, looking at Xiao Zhan's dazed face, but the words he was about to say about the beast tide and city defenses ultimately turned into silence.
No one spoke again in the council chamber.
