Chapter 98: Curtains Close For The Eighth Level Spirit Beas

Chapter 98.1: Curtains Close For The Eighth Level Spirit Beast

The birth of a level eight spirit beast caused the entire Hades’ Canyon to quake, the raging roar of wild torrential energy surging out in waves that caused other spirit beasts in the surrounding area to shiver as they cowered in their corners, not daring to come out.

It was pushing all the other spirit beasts into hopelessness.

The recent birth of a Heaven defying Super Divine Beast had already frightened them almost to death and they had not dared to come out to roam in search for food even when their stomachs growled in hunger, thinking being able to survive another day was one day earned, deeply afraid that they’ll encounter the lordly beast. And now, another high leveled spirit beast had appeared…..

Looks like they should be making plans to leave this place of calamity or they might find themselves dead without even knowing how they had lost their lives.

And on the other end of the Hades’ Canyon, the two people, Lou Jun Yao and Bai Zhi Yan who heard the commotion paused in their steps.

“That was the aura of an eighth level spirit beast.” Lou Jun Yao said as he gazed far into the distance. “And it is a variation of a mutant spirit beast, its abilities surpassing that of regular eighth level spirit beasts.”

Bai Zhi Yan shook his head and said: “Logically, such a unconventional place should not appear in these low level lands and the levels of the spirit beasts in here are relatively high, almost reaching the levels of the ones in the middle level lands.”

Lou Jun Yao lowered his eyes in thought and then said slowly: “The existence of this place by itself is already illogical and now…. The Hades’ Canyon has sunk deep underground so it will not show up in the world anymore.”

Upon saying that, he then glanced darkly at Bai Zhi Yan. “The most urgent task at hand now is to find that little pet of yours first. If it doesn’t know what’s good for itself and comes to hurt that lass, I will not care what your intentions are with the beast, I will make sure it loses a few layers of its skin.”

A corner of Bai Zhi Yan’s mouth twitched. [Do you have to be so vicious? Moreover I feel that the lass isn’t someone that is so easily disadvantaged you know?]

Qing Yu was pushed back to one side by the great blast of energy from the creature’s level advancement and saw that the fella’s body had grown explosively by a few sizes, its mouth that had originally looked rather clumsy now become incredibly malevolent. No matter how aggressive the black vines were at that moment, they were no longer able to hold down the creature who had advanced into its next level and they all began to retreat, burrowing back underground.

“Mistress.” Zang Mai was a little worried when he saw that and he had moved to come beside the young lady to say earnestly: “Use me! Ever since we came to this strange world, we have never once stood together in battle before.”

Qing Yu cast him a brief glance. “Go back and help me keep watch over Little Bei. Don’t come mess things up.”

“But you’ll get hurt!”

“So what?” Qing Yu’s demeanor was indifferent. “Only when one constantly gets hurts and bleeds, will one’s strength come to be elevated even higher.”

The young lady’s beautiful and alluring eyes then turned red and gold, and the aura over her body suddenly underwent a change in that instant, a change that caused Zang Mai to tremble despite himself, the expression on his face becoming rather excited.

“Just a mere eighth level spirit beast is not even worth my attention at all. Today is its first day becoming a high level spirit beast and it will also be its last.”

The figure that was clearly so thin and frail was suddenly exuding an aura that felt like one from a king who gazes upon the world with contempt.

Zang Mai’s gaze grew profound and deep. This was his Mistress’ true self, haughty and noble, the only Master that was able to inherit the Sacred Burial Arts! Even though she was starting all over again from scratch and her powers were not as strong as before, she still possessed that same powerful and tenacious soul deep down inside.

Although the transformed Demonic Centipede still did not have any eyes or ears, its senses were now more than a hundred times stronger, seeming like it did not need to depend on movements for it to determine the direction its prey was in. The boulder that hid Yan Xi Rou and Yan Xi Wu was then summarily corroded cleanly away by a mouthful of venom from the Demonic Centipede’s mouth, and if they had not gotten away in time, their bodies would have completely rotted away together.

In order to not let those two troublesome girls come to be a hindrance to Qing Yu, Zang Mai stretched his hand out and pulled them over to his side before he picked up the still unconscious Qing Bei to retreat back by about a hundred meters.

When in his invisible state, no one was able to see him except for Qing Yu and hence when they saw Qing Bei’s body lifting up into the air, the two girls who felt themselves being dragged together along then exchanged a glance with each other, both their eyes showing utter disbelief and shock.

But when they saw that they were at a seemingly safe place, they were then not so afraid anymore.

Seeing Qing Yu who was facing that enormous and terrifying monster all by herself, Yan Xi Rou’s face then creased up to ask with a bitter laugh: “Will she die?”

The golden haired youth who was watching the battle inadvertently heard that question and he turned a sinister gaze upon them before he sent a knuckle sandwich flying. The pain caused Yan Xi Rou to let out a loud cry and she then turned to look around her, her face looking like she had seen a ghost.

“What’s with you?” Yan Xi Wu asked puzzledly upon seeing her clasp her hands over her head.

“Nothing nothing.” Yan Xi Rou replied sheepishly.

Has she encountered a ghost? She had said it so softly and she was heard? It couldn’t have been Qing Yu that rapped her on the head right?

The thick and powerful tail then swept towards her and Qing Yu easily dodged, only to see that the spot she had just been standing in was now a deep hole. If she had not avoided the blow, she would have been smashed into meat paste from the one strike.

Her eyes turned icy. Since this fella was dead set on wanting her killed, then she would go into battle with everything she had!

Within those wide poison filled gaping jaws, its teeth sharp as saws ground against each other, like they wanted to shred her up so badly. As it came closer, the strange odour emanating in waves out from those jaws caused the complexion on Qing Yu’s face to turn an ugly shade, and her eyes to flashed with a vicious glint.

The slender figure leapt up into the air, and landed straight upon the Demonic Centipede’s head. A beam of light flashed in her hand and in the very next instant, an agonized and rage filled roar shot towards the clouds, that seemed to shake the ground and made the mountains quiver.

Immediately thereafter, the creature’s large head with its jaws filled with its saw like teeth was seen to have a good half of it sliced right off, and blood was spurting out everywhere unendingly.

In an instant, the chaos that erupted became even worse than that of the storm that struck when the creature advanced in level and transformed, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. It caused all the other spirit beasts to shiver and shake, their hearts filling up with despair, thinking that they would most probably have to leave their lives behind here today.

Although Qing Yu had moved very quickly to get away from the Demonic Centipede’s side, but in a moment of carelessness, she had been struck by a flying rock swept up by the enormous tail’s thrashing. Excruciating pain washed over her and she subconsciously bit down hard on her lip. She seemed to have dislocated her arm.

The golden haired youth’s eyes grew dark when he saw that, the beautiful silver gold orbs becoming tainted by a black mist, looking unspeakably strange and evil.

A weapon spirit is linked in mind with his contracted owner and although Qing Yu consciousness was distracted by the agonizing pain, she had still noticed the change that was coming over Zang Mai and her brows knitted tightly together. “Little Burrow…..”

She did not not know what the lad had done that he had kept hidden from her before. That devilish spirit of a human he had used to restore his spirit body must have belonged to someone extraordinary. Otherwise, how could it have such a great effect on Little Burrow?

“I’m fine. Calm yourself down. Do not lose your mind.”

The youth blinked his eyes. That expression on his face was clearly so innocent and adorable looking but insidious murder was hidden behind it somehow. “But, it has hurt Mistress”

The young lady’s exquisite and beautiful countenance was stained with a speck of bright red blood. She had gotten that scrape when she was flung out in that one moment of carelessness. At that moment, she lifted her slender fingers up and wiped the blood cleanly off. By the time she raised her eyes up, her gaze was already tinged with bloodthirsty murder.

The cherry pink lips curled up in a mesmerizing arc, so beautiful it moved one’s very soul. “Little Burrow, how long do you think….. I will need to take this fella down?”

The youth’s eyes flashed slightly as he looked at the rage filled Demonic Centipede who was stirring up a violent sandstorm with its massive body before he said: “With it being in a berserk state, its powers is comparable to that of a ninth level spirit beast. If this was to be dealt with by my Mistress of the past, you would have killed it in an instant. But with your current self….. about an incense stick’s time.”

Qing Yu listened to the youth’s carefully worded statement, like he was afraid that her pride would be hurt, but had still chosen not to deceive her.

She gave a light laugh and then slowly walked towards the roaring and wildly thrashing spirit beast in the middle, and under the violent wind, she muttered just a few words tonelessly. “Just ten breaths is more than enough.”

Zang Mai’s narrowed eyes then widened when he saw the sudden change in the slender young lady’s aura and he subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.

He knew very well, that once Qing Yu made a decision, no one would ever be able to change it, and she had never liked anyone to interfere with her affairs. So no matter how worried Zang Mai was feeling right at that moment, there was nothing he could do but to push down the strong impulse that was rising up inside.

[Just wait for a while more…..]

[And if anything unexpected really happens, even if he would be severely berated, he would not just stand idly by.]

But when he raised up his eyes to look, he came to discover that he had really been worried for nothing.

The phoenix like eyes that had glinted with that bright voracious thirst for blood narrowed, her palms wrapped in blinding and searing golden red flames curled in a claw, she thrust her hands straight into the sliced open head of the Demonic Centipede, which brought about a great spray of bright red blood to splatter all over, though not a single drop came to stain her pristine white clothes.

The sound of flesh and bone being torn apart was absolutely bone chilling.

The Demonic Centipede was completely defenseless, the searing heat that felt like lava from Hell burning it from the wound in its head all the way to the tip of its tail. The young lady’s long slender fingers that had looked so weak and frail then closed tightly upon its spirit core crystal, trying to tear it right out from its body.

Never had a spirit beast ever been so horrifyingly violated. Its body still alive, and made to feel long agonizing pain of having its spirit core being ripped out.

A spirit beast’s core lay in its spirit core crystal. Without its spirit core, even if it did not die, it would turn to become just a soft and limp bug without any attack capabilities, and its lifespan greatly reduced, agony that was completely unimaginable.

The Demonic Centipede was feeling greatly aggrieved. It did not understand why such a weak human could have suddenly turned to become so horrifying in an instant. The strange blazing heat continued to burn it from its insides, making it feel like its body was about to explode.

Aggrievement filled the Demonic Centipede. It did not want to submit just like that. It wanted to struggle. It wanted to run away.

But in the next second, starting from the tip of its tail, the flesh and blood started to disappear, spreading upwards inch by inch as it turned to bare white bones. What was even more terrifying was that it could clearly feel its death slowly approaching.

[No! No! Impossible!]

[It is an eighth level spirit beast! An eighth level spirit beast! The highest level spirit beast in this lands! Is this end now before its path towards a new peak has even started?]

[That’s just unacceptable!]

The woeful roar of the trapped beast rang out as the last bit of darkness dissipated from the sky. When the sky brightened, turning fully into day, the Demonic Centipede stood erect in its spot, with only its skeletal remains left behind.

In the young lady’s hands, a bright red core crystal as big an a baby’s fist flashed with an enchanting lustre. The corners of her lips lifting up, she then said: “Ha, got it.”
