Chapter 1358 - Second Transformation

Jiang Yi had indeed realized something. He had found out something new related to his Divine Sound Heaven Skill: it wasn’t the case of the louder the sound, the more terrifying the attack. A loud sound would only destroy one’s eardrums. However, the Divine Sound Heaven Skill’s real aim was to impact one’s soul spirit without form or shape.

A sudden thunder from nothingness would bring about a greater amount of shock; that would then inflict greater damage to one’s soul spirit!

As for how to be hurt by such, Jiang Yi had not figured that out yet. He had only managed to figure out this little nugget of truth, and he had only reached the Entry Stage of this nomological mystical ability. To fully understand and use this skill effectively depended on how he realized this from now on.

No matter what it was, as long as one found the entrance and embarked on the correct path, sooner or later; one would reach the end of it. The hardest part of things was finding and entering this entrance. Jiang Yi had gotten an epiphany at this moment while he had just consumed the Rootless Water; his soul spirit was now ten-fold stronger. While he was having this epiphany, his soul spirit’s circulation would also increase by ten-fold. Hence, as long as no one disturbed him, Jiang Yi could probably enter the next stage of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill soon.

Would someone interrupt him?

The answer was… of course!

There were twelve God Kings now within the Ghost Noise Cave. They had not made a move all this time, waiting for Jiang Yi and company to enter the cave. As Jiang Yi and the others would not be familiar with the cave, it might be easy to enter it but hard to get out. That was because the Ghost Noise would be doubly powerful if one headed out of the cave!

The twelve men were hiding within the deepest parts of the cave and were waiting for Luo Fu, Luo Qi, and Luo Tie to arrive. Luo Fu wanted Jiang Yi alive; based on their current abilities, they would not be able to catch him alive on their own. Luo Fu and company were five thousand kilometers away from this place. That was a journey that would take them ten minutes at max, even if they encountered Chaos Beasts along the way.

“Hmm? Why have they not entered yett? Could they have discovered something?”

After waiting a while, an upper-tier God King finally grew impatient. They had been keeping a lookout for vibrations in the ground, and the reverberations from footsteps within the cave. However, there had not been any movement. This upper-tier God King carefully used his yellow pearl to find out what was going on outside the cave. However, what he discovered bewildered him.

“This doesn’t make sense!”

He murmured as his eyes were filled with confusion. The formless Ghost Noise right outside the Ghost Noise Cave was the most terrifying; even a low-tier God King would be hard-pressed to deal with it. Could Jiang Yi and company have all taken the Rootless Water? Even so, why were they outside the Ghost Noise Cave like idiots and not moving? Also, weren’t there three of them just now? Where had Luo Qingyan gone?

Time passed little by little; Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu did not seem to have any intention of moving. The upper-tier God King became even more suspicious. However, he was hesitant whether he should move or not. He also didn’t dare to go and investigate. After another five minutes, he finally could not take it anymore. Luo Fu and company were definitely on their way. Even if he headed out and alerted Jiang Yi and company now, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem; Jiang Yi and company were not going to escape this time.

Tsk! Tsk!

This God King sent his divine senses slowly outwards again. He was afraid that something had gone wrong with the pearl, and it was not accurate. Ultimately, he used his divine senses and found that indeed, Jiang Xiaonu and Jiang Yi were still outside the cave while Luo Qingyan had gone missing.

“Eh?”

Jiang Yi was sitting cross-legged in meditation while Jiang Xiaonu was standing as if everything was normal. This made the upper-tier God King highly suspicious. Could it be that there wasn’t any Ghost Noise outside now? If not, even if Jiang Yi had consumed the Rootless Water, he could not possibly be meditating cross-legged there, right? Also, that lass was obviously only a Heaven God. Although from her wings it seemed like she was from a Special Race, she could not possibly not be affected by the Ghost Noise at all, right?

“Attack—”

The God King came to his senses. Jiang Xiaonu had already discovered his probes. He shot forward like a ferocious dragon as the other eleven immediately followed suit. As he flew, he shouted, “All are to be careful. No one is to use any deadly force. We cannot kill them; the Clan Head wants them alive. If things get difficult, we can engage them just to stop them from running. Also, we have to purposely give them a sliver of hope, for them to think that they can escape so that they would not commit suicide. Understand?”

“We cannot kill them? We still have to give them hope?”

Everyone exchanged stares, at a loss at what was to be done. However, they quickly relaxed as they figured out that Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu were just Heaven Gods; they were like ants to them.

“Not good!”

Outside, Jiang Xiaonu stood up straight like a lion who had its tail stepped on. After she had reached the Heaven God level, her senses had become extremely sharp. She had felt that streak of divine senses previously, and now that the twelve God Kings had moved, she could also feel the auras of these formidable martial artists.

“What should I do?”

Jiang Yi was still having his epiphany moment; if she moved him now, his moment would be disrupted. However, twelve God Kings were coming their way.

Flee? Based on her, Jiang Yi, and Luo Qingyan’s speed, how were they going to flee from the God Kings’ pursuit? Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes flashed her determination as her expression became icy-cold. She had already transformed; however, she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Transform!”

There was still something that she had not informed Jiang Yi or did not have the time to tell him yet.

After becoming a Heaven God, she could now transform twice. Unfortunately, she was still very weak. She somehow felt that if she transformed twice it would be very trying for her, and that would deal a lot of harm to her body. Hence, she had never tried it before.

Buzz!

Jiang Xiaonu’s green hair flayed as green light shot out from her body. Following that, two small green horns appeared on her head. When they appeared, her entire body trembled as her face became twisted and full of pain. She felt as if the top of her skull had been cracked open. Also, the two horns were appearing little by little; every little movement they caused generated huge amounts of pain for her.

Ss, ss!

Sweat covered her entire forehead as her wings flapped. She looked very much in pain, but she kept gritting her teeth, not allowing herself to scream out loud. Jiang Xiaonu was actually also doubtful if she could survive this transformation. If she could not endure it and could not transform a second time—not only would her strength not be increased, but she would also become extremely weak and feeble. She would then be easily killed.

Endure! I have to protect Young Master!

Only one thought surfaced in her mind. At this moment, she suddenly found an inexplicable strong and determined willpower in her. The excruciating pain in her mind gradually lessened, or perhaps she had already become numb to it.

As the twelve God Kings shot forward, the two green horns on Jiang Xiaonu’s head finally fully extended. Both her wings flapped as she shot into the cave.

“Eh?”

At almost the same time, the two horns lit up and as they shone, Jiang Xiaonu felt that her aura became amplified as her green eyes seemed to drive fear into anyone who stared into them. The most important thing was her speed had actually been raised ten-fold to that of a peak-stage God King’s. Her body shot into the crowd of God Kings, and her two green claws swiped at the upper-tier God King leading the group.

“Uh?”

The upper-tier God King had been fixated onto Jiang Yi and had ignored Jiang Xiaonu’s rush forward. Jiang Xiaonu’s speed previously had been so slow, and her aura was very weak after all. He did not think that Jiang Xiaonu’s speed could be raised so much so quickly. When he finally started to react, those two claws glowing in green light had already struck his chest.

Ss, ss!

Something that astounded the remaining eleven God Kings happened. Jiang Xiaonu’s claws had actually swiped through the upper-tier God King’s medial-grade divine artifact battle armor and had pierced right through it, tearing his body into two.
