C284 Small Shadow Beast
C284 Small Shadow Beast
So it turned out that tens of thousands of years ago, the Shadow Beast was just a monster born from the endless yin qi. This kind of monster was good at using illusions and the fear of devouring people. The more the opponent was afraid, the stronger the illusion was.
In fact, at the time when the Super Sect were working together to investigate the Shadow Beast, this monster had only just been born. The enveloping ability of the illusion was only for cultivators below the Essencial Core Rank, so once it surpassed the Essencial Core Rank, the effect would be greatly reduced.
However, it was fortunate that this Shadow Beast was more agile, and had unparalleled stealth skills. Therefore, it is not easy to be checked by High Rank cultivator.
However, as time passed, the strength of Shadow Beast continued to increase. This kind of monster was born from the shadows and had an endless lifespan. If they were allowed to develop freely, it was unknown if there would come a day when they would devour the world.
However, at this moment, the 'Celestial Spirit' appeared.
Xia Ling speculated that this might be the battle where the "Spiritual Spirits" used their powers to destroy the Dark Demon Domain. When he was passing by, he accidentally stumbled upon a Shadow Beast, so he attacked without mercy.
The monster continued speaking as its body started to tremble, as if it still remembered the fear from back then, "At that time, my ancestors already had the power of Tranquil Extinction Rank. In terms of aura concealment and defense, he was above the Tranquil Extinction Rank. However, that cultivator's palm strike was so strong that he was unable to block it! "
"... Only by fleeing at full speed could he preserve his life. However, their strength has greatly decreased and their lifespan has shortened. From now on, their strength will be weaker than before. "
Xia Ling couldn't help but sigh. That "immortal spirit" cultivator actually had such strength. To be able to injure a monster of the Tranquil Extinction Rank to such an extent with a single palm strike, one's own strength must already be above that of the Non-polar Period.
However, this little monster in front of him … Xia Ling's eyes became colder. Although he should be the only descendant of this ancient monster, he didn't want to leave him with his life!
Although Xia Ling wasn't a reckless person, he was never stingy with his killing!
"Your Shadow Beast race controls illusions and kills living beings. Although you have fallen to such a state, you are still not worthy of sympathy." Xia Ling's Old Dragon Sword blade got closer and closer to the monster's neck, almost piercing into its flesh.
"You've probably hurt too many lives here. I can't let you go today!" As he spoke, he swung his sword downwards.
The monster was shocked. It could clearly sense the power of the Old Dragon Sword in Xia Ling's hand. No matter how good it was at escaping, it was still a dead man at this distance!
He hurriedly tried to defend himself, "I didn't kill any living creatures. I was only able to use the power of the illusion for a short period of time. It used to be a child!"
"Today is my second time setting up illusions, so there are a lot of flaws. And when I first set up the illusion half a year ago, not only did I not hurt anyone, I was even severely injured by them! "
"Oh?" When Xia Ling heard this, he was not only curious. Although this Shadow Beast wasn't very strong, it was impossible to guard against illusions. Although he could see through it, it should be very difficult for other cultivators.
"Who else can see through your illusion?"
Xia Ling wanted to know who had such ability.
Seeing that Xia Ling temporarily had no intention to kill him again, the monster could not help but let out a sigh of relief. However, he still replied immediately: "Half a year ago, a girl passed by this place. I didn't have the ability to use illusions for long, so I planned to use her as my first prey … "
Xia Ling couldn't help but frown. Could it be such a coincidence?
The monster continued: "Who would have thought that she looked like she only had the strength of a beginner in Congealing Void. It should be extremely easy for me to suppress her, who would have thought …"
This monster still had a look of disbelief on his face, "This girl is currently in a life or death situation, and the Yin Qi surrounding her body is actually even stronger than my Yin Qi! And her strength, has also leaped up, placing herself above the Essencial Core Rank! "
"... The first time I used an illusion formation, I wasn't proficient in it yet. I was injured by that young girl's powerful sword technique and could only escape. Thus, today, we are still only injured. "
Xia Ling's eyebrows were already tightly-knit.
Although Xia Ling didn't know what the girl said by the Shadow Beast looked like, he guessed that she was probably Xia Yanning.
He had originally thought that even if First Miss did as Cao Ba had said, she would have successfully cultivated the [Sky Demon Disintegration], which was a fake martial skill, and achieved the strength of Essencial Core Rank. However, this kind of strength had always been rootless and could not be sustained.
Most likely, the moment Su Anshan appeared, Xia Yanning would lose all her skills. He just hoped that it wouldn't harm his cultivation technique foundation.
But Xia Ling never thought that Xia Yanning would actually be able to use this kind of power at will, even to the point of Su Anshan being able to maintain the might of her Essencial Core Rank!
A Essencial Core Rank cultivator not even twenty years old! Even when Xia Ling was in the prime of his cultivation 30,000 years ago, he had never seen a cultivator who advanced by leaps and bounds like this!
He was almost certain about the future of Tranquil Extinction Rank cultivators!
However, would he still be able to bring her back … Xia Ling couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It was impossible to cultivate such a demonic cultivation technique without affecting one's mental state. The yin qi was swirling around him. He must not be an ordinary man …
At this time, the little monster saw Xia Ling lost in his thoughts and couldn't help but think of escaping. He twisted his body and was about to disappear into the soil, but Xia Ling stepped on him.
"I didn't let you escape. It seems you forced me to do it." Xia Ling said with a smile.
Although he said that, Xia Ling didn't really want to kill the Shadow Beast anymore. From the words he had heard, the monster did not seem to be faking it. If he didn't kill him, then the reason for killing him wasn't good enough.
Xia Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Was that eye that suddenly appeared on the wall your handiwork?"
The monster's life was in Xia Ling's hands, how could he dare to hide anything? Immediately, he nodded his head: "Those eyes are our clan's unique secret technique, they can be used to dazzle people's eyes and slow down cultivators' Genuine Qi."
"With my current strength, I can only use it on cultivators under the Essencial Core Rank. However, as his strength increased, the power of this dazzling light would also increase. It is said that it can be completely effective under the Non-polar Period! "
Xia Ling asked, "Since you have such a dazzling light, it has such a magical effect. Why don't you use it on me now? "
Xia Ling still had a lingering fear from the light that the monster spoke of. The tardy Genuine Qi was silent again. If he wasn't fast and quick enough, he would have already fallen to the ground.
However, if it was any other cultivator, they might not have the ability to deal with it. If Xia Ling could know its theory and use it, he would have another method.
The monster said with a wry smile, "I also want to, but unfortunately, I can't do it. This kind of light is my innate ability, I only know how to use it. And I can only use it once a day. "
So that was the case, Xia Ling could not help but feel disappointed. However, thinking about it, it was normal, if such a powerful technique could be used at any time, wouldn't the cultivators under the Essencial Core Rank lose their cultivation?
