Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-Chapter 368 - 20: A Strike of the Holy Emperor Stone
Chapter 368: Chapter 20: A Strike of the Holy Emperor Stone
The Three-eyed Demon Wolf, the Great Demon, and the Blood-colored Centipede, three mighty beings, had fallen.
And the Primordial Spirit of Qiongqi clearly couldn’t hold on any longer, as its origin began to dissipate.
"Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit is also at its limit, that last strike was probably the last flash of its remaining light; its origin power has begun to scatter," Sikong Zhaiyue said.
The nine incarnations of the Qiongqi Primordial Spirit reverted to its original form, no longer able to sustain such a state.
Indeed, its body was crumbling and couldn’t hold out much longer.
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit quickly flew off into the distance.
"You go and collect the corpses of the Three-eyed Demon Wolf, the Great Demon, and the Blood-colored Centipede, I’ll chase after Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit!" Lin Feng said.
"Have you gone mad? Even if Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit is about to be destroyed, killing you before its demise would be as easy as flipping its hand," Sikong Zhaiyue said.
"Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit," Lin Feng said.
With no other option, Sikong Zhaiyue nodded and said, "Be careful, I will catch up soon."
Lin Feng nodded; he spread his Golden Body Feathered Wings and chased after it.
Meanwhile, Sikong Zhaiyue headed towards the battlefield to collect the physical bodies left behind by the fallen Three-eyed Demon Wolf, the Great Demon, and the Blood-colored Centipede.
These three beings were formidable existences beyond the Yin Yang Realm Experts.
Their bodies were treasures all over.
...
At the same time, thirty li away, Zhangsun Wuji, an old servant, and two other guards also witnessed the battle between Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit and the Three-eyed Demon Wolf, the Great Demon, and the Blood-colored Centipede.
"It’s Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit! An undying essence of an ancient Qiongqi after its fall," the old servant said.
"That Primordial Spirit of Qiongqi seems to be on the verge of destruction too, this is great, if I could refine Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit, to what level would my cultivation rise?" Zhangsun Wuji said excitedly, trembling all over.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Without pausing, the four of them quickly headed towards the direction of the great battle; they clearly intended to first collect the corpses of the Three-eyed Demon Wolf, the Great Demon, and the Blood-colored Centipede before tracking Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Feng spread his Golden Body Feathered Wings, pushing his speed to the limit, in hot pursuit of Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to make a move, for Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit had not begun its destruction; an attack by Lin Feng would be a death wish under Qiongqi’s impending claw.
Lin Feng was waiting for the moment Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit would be destroyed before he could devour it.
Even if Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit was destroyed, its Origin Power wouldn’t dissipate immediately, it would take some time to vanish.
In the end, Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit rushed into a cave mansion and disappeared from sight.
Lin Feng also rushed in after it.
In the depths of the cave mansion, Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit let out several reluctant roars before turning into a golden bone.
"So that’s how it is, Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit was attached to a Qiongqi Beast Bone, finally it is destroyed, such a strong Origin Power, I must refine the Origin Power of Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit quickly, otherwise it will soon dissipate," thinking this, Lin Feng quickly rushed towards the golden beast bone.
"Roar," but as Lin Feng approached the golden beast bone, a thunderous roar shook the heavens.
Flash.
A light flashed, and Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit reappeared.
"Not good, it hasn’t dissipated yet, I’ve been deceived by Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit," Lin Feng’s face dramatically changed.
He quickly rushed towards the outside of the cave.
But Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit swung its claw, and the cave was instantly sealed by a powerful energy barrier, cutting off Lin Feng’s escape route completely. There was no turning back.
"This is trouble."
Lin Feng’s face turned extremely unsightly.
He gritted his teeth and began to communicate with the Holy Emperor Stone.
The Holy Emperor Stone was quite bizarre and nearly cost the Fire Kirin its life; Lin Feng, with his limited cultivation, didn’t want to have too much contact with the Holy Emperor Stone, but often, circumstances forced his hand.
Like now, if he didn’t use the Holy Emperor Stone, he feared he might not escape death.
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit’s icy gaze turned towards Lin Feng.
"You... possess... Qiongqi Treasure Skill..."
It let out a deep voice.
This moved Lin Feng; hadn’t they said that Undying Primordial Spirits only had "thought" and no consciousness?
And yet, the Qiongqi Primordial Spirit before him not only embodied "thought" but had also formed "consciousness."
This was terrifying.
Of course, this was the simplest form of consciousness.
Moreover, it was no longer the consciousness of the Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi, for the Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi had perished long ago, and with its demise, its consciousness had dissipated as well.
The consciousness formed by the Qiongqi Primordial Spirit before him was a completely new one.
"Very weak..., weak Qiongqi Treasure Skills... Across generations, as the bloodlines carrying the Qiongqi Treasure Skill grow weaker, the skills imprinted within the Treasure Bones become simpler, and their might becomes less potent."
The Qiongqi Primordial Spirit stepped towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng felt a tremendous oppression and did not dare to make rash moves, as he might be killed instantly by Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit.
Even if he wanted to use the Holy Emperor Stone to deal with Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit, he had to wait until it was close enough to strike. From a distance, the Holy Emperor Stone wouldn’t even touch Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit before Lin Feng would be killed.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Feng asked.
"Your Qiongqi Treasure Skill is very weak, but it is still a Qiongqi Treasure Skill after all. Your body has adapted to the Qiongqi Treasure Skill, making it a perfect vessel. Moreover, I can sense that you seem to have practiced some other ancient secret technique..."
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit pondered and appeared somewhat troubled; its "consciousness" hadn’t been formed for long, and many memories were lost. Although it could sense that Lin Feng had practiced another ancient secret technique, it couldn’t recall what it was.
"I am very interested in your body."
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit pounced towards Lin Feng, intending to kill him and take over his physical body.
"Let me devour you, to refine your body into mine."
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit roared, opening its enormous maw to devour Lin Feng.
"Come out..."
Lin Feng roared, taking out the Holy Emperor Stone.
Thud, thud, thud...
As Lin Feng activated the Holy Emperor Stone, before Beast Emperor Qiongqi suffered any harm, he was the first to endure damage from the Holy Emperor Stone. An inexplicable force seeped from the Holy Emperor Stone, piercing several blood holes into Lin Feng’s body. Lin Feng only felt that the Holy Emperor Stone began to voraciously devour his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, seemingly wanting to drain him dry. This was the terrifying and bizarre nature of the Holy Emperor Stone; Lin Feng felt he was doomed. Gritting his teeth, he persevered, hurling the Holy Emperor Stone.
"Bang." The Holy Emperor Stone brutally slammed into Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit.
"Ah, this is... the Holy Emperor Stone, the blood-stained Holy Emperor Stone, how could this be?"
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit looked towards the Holy Emperor Stone with an expression full of shock and fear.
Its body was struck by the Holy Emperor Stone.
Crack, crack...
Then, Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit’s body began to shatter.
"Undying Technique." Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit cast a heaven-defying secret technique to stop what was happening, but it failed.
The Holy Emperor Stone contained a fearsome power that instantly pulverized the Origin Power of Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit.
Bang.
Qiongqi’s Primordial Spirit exploded on impact, its consciousness dissipated, leaving only the most primal energy suspended in mid-air.
