The Great Wild God - Chapter 214
Chapter 214 Soul Essence Battle Soul
“Junior Brother Chen actually knows how to refine Dao Weapons?”
Lei Wanhe came over with interest to see Chen Xun refine the Giant Snake Puppet.
When Chen Xun and Li Yu arrived at the Crimson Sun Palace and reported the matter to the Divine Night Sect’s Empyreans, they let them know that he had once refined remnant souls in the depths of the Mount Tu.
At that time, when the Divine Night Sect’s Sovereigns and Ji Lie knew about this matter, they didn’t say anything. Chen Xun knew that the Divine Night Sect didn’t prohibit disciples from refining the souls of living beasts.
Just as Lei Wanhe had said, some sects even specifically refined some tyrannical beasts into “Dao Weapons” to defend against the enemy.
Regardless of whether it was a Dao Weapon or a Demon Weapon, they would have to consume their divine souls and life force to refine a truly powerful Soul Essence Battle Soul and Demon Weapon.
Cultivators who wished to live a long life were usually unwilling to sacrifice their life force cultivation to refine Dao Weapons and Demon Weapons. Therefore, this secret art was not widely spread. It was extremely rare in a large sect like the Divine Night Sect, and few disciples would cultivate this secret art.
Previously, when Chen Xun refined his Soul Essence Battle Soul, he wasn’t willing to fuse his Soul Essence with it, and there was nothing he could do about it right now.
The giant snakes surrounding the valley were exceptionally tyrannical. With Lei Wanhe’s cultivation at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm, the Imperial Envoy’s sword light could only leave some white marks on these giant snakes.
If it weren’t for Chang Xi’s painstaking support with the Spirit Gathering Mountain and River Array, he, Lei Wanhe, and the Yu sisters would have already become a meal in the stomach of the giant snake.
Although Chang Xi’s cultivation was high, killing more than a dozen giant snakes was almost at the end of her rope.
If it weren’t for the twenty-five Cyan Flame Lotus Arrows forcing these giant snakes back, Chang Xi wouldn’t have been able to suppress the demonic fiend’s backlash in her body.
It was already so difficult for them to guard the narrow valley, and it was even harder to break out of the encirclement when they thought of it.
Chen Xun hurriedly refined six Giant Snake Puppets. Although they weren’t well controlled, six Giant Snake Puppets that stood fifty to sixty feet tall could still provide them with a sense of security when they used them as meat shields outside the entrance of the cave.
Perhaps it was because it was intimidated by the power of the Green Flame Lotus Arrow, or perhaps it was because it didn’t understand why the same kind of snake could revive from the dead. The giant snake that was trapped outside hadn’t rushed into the valley for a long time.
Chang Xi completely refined the demonic fiend in her body. Seeing the six giant snake puppets lined up outside the cave entrance, she frowned slightly and asked Chen Xun, “It doesn’t look good. Is that all you have?”
“I am an outer sect disciple. You can’t expect too much from me.” Chen Xun smiled bitterly.
After fusing with his soul and life essence, Chen Xun could clearly sense the tiny parts of the flesh, bones, and muscles of the six giant snakes through his six Soul Essence Battle Souls. He could also clearly sense that the remaining Qi, Blood, and True Yang within the giant snake’s body were surging like tides, and he could also sense the existence of blood pills within the giant snake’s body.
However, these six Essence Battle Souls were refined from low-grade beast souls like sand snakes and sand wolves in the past. They weren’t very powerful and pure, and there was no way to effectively control the giant snake’s powerful body.
A true mo weapon could completely inherit the fighting instincts of its predecessors. As long as it gave orders through its Soul Essence Battle Soul, it could fight the enemy independently.
The six giant snake puppets outside the entrance of the cave were clearly still quite far from being true mo weapons.
Chen Xun didn’t waste time talking to Chang Xi. Taking advantage of the fact that the giant serpent outside the valley hadn’t rushed up yet, he wanted to seize the time to slowly fuse the remnants of the dead giant serpent’s body into the Soul Essence Battle Soul.
******************
Under the flowing clouds of flames, Chen Xun and the others could only judge from the changes in the light in the valley that late at night had already arrived. At this time, the valley was filled with the densest demonic fiends and the fiercest demonic creatures.
The sound of wings flapping could be heard in the air. Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others’ expressions were ugly. They didn’t expect that the giant snake would not retreat, and hundreds of flying demonic rats would surround them from all directions.
Very quickly, the python and the demonic mouse charged towards the valley, and Chen Xun and the others could only resist with their scalps clenched.
The six Giant Snake Puppets weren’t as good at fighting as real demonic weapons. Fortunately, their demonic bodies were exceptionally tyrannical. Demonic rats and snakes could bite apart divine iron with their fangs. The poisonous mist they spat out could corrode hard stones, but it was difficult to deal much damage to the Giant Snake Puppets.
There were six giant serpent puppets that were as firm as rocks, serving as meat shields to attract the fire power of demonic rats and snakes. Chen Xun, Lei Wanhe, and the others only needed to guard the gap and kill the pythons and demonic rats that rushed out of the cave entrance. They were indeed slightly stronger than Chang Xi who relied on the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Array to guard the cave entrance alone.
However, no matter how powerful the Giant Snake Puppet’s body was, it would still be riddled with wounds after a long time.
More importantly, the remaining Qi, Blood, and True Yang within these giant snake puppets were limited. In less than two hours, they were almost completely extracted by the Soul Essence Battle Soul, and their movements became more and more stagnant. At this time, they needed to be replaced with a new giant snake shell in time.
Another giant snake puppet was completely squeezed clean of its blood vitality and fell to the ground in front of the cave entrance with numerous wounds.
Perhaps it was because the Qi, Blood, and True Yang in the giant snake’s body had been squeezed too clean. Just as Chen Xun was about to extract the Soul Essence Battle Soul from the giant snake puppet’s skull, an incomparably pure Qi, Blood, and Essence Essence was released from the blood pill in the giant snake puppet’s body. It was like clear spring water gushing towards the bones …
At the same time, a large amount of demonic fiends were released from the Blood Pill and mixed with Qi and Blood Essence Essence, they all devoured the Soul Essence Battle Soul at the top of the skull.
Chen Xun already had the experience to refine blood pills, so he didn’t fear the backlash of the demon fiend at all.
The Soul Essence Battle Soul was like a strand of divine soul that Chen Xun had separated out. The Concentration Curse could also transform countless mysterious talismans into Brahma Sounds within the Giant Serpent Puppet’s body. When the Demon Fiend encountered it, it was like snow shining through the sun, melting away one after another, leaving behind pure Qi and Blood Essence to circulate within the Giant Serpent Puppet’s body …
Lei Wanhe and the others didn’t know why, but seeing that the giant serpent puppet that had fallen to the ground was standing up trembling again, and even the slightest wound was healing rapidly, and it had become even more flexible between advancement and retreat than before, they knew that Chen Xun was actually able to directly use the Blood Pill Essence to drive these giant serpent puppets …
*****************
After a bitter night of battle, the sky above his head became brighter and brighter.
At this moment, the Heavenly Flame Liuxia also released a faint Profound Yang Qi, suppressing the demon fiends in the valley.
This was also the easiest time for Chen Xun and the others to enter the depths of the Absolute Mountain Ridge. The Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation could absorb more spiritual energy without worrying about the demonic fiend’s backlash.
As this increased and then decreased, the fierce aura of the demonic beasts and magical creatures was also severely suppressed.
Around noon, when the profound yang energy in the depths of the Absolute Ridge was at its strongest, the group of snakes and hundreds of flying demonic rats retreated in a swarm, leaving behind rat corpses and snake corpses all over the ground.
Chang Xi sat on the mountain rock to regulate her spirit energy. Chen Xun fused with the remnant souls of the demonic rats and giant snakes. Lei Wanhe and the Yu sisters tried their best to cut some useful items from the corpses of the demonic rats and giant snakes.
“Let’s go!” After Chang Xi finished regulating her breathing, she suddenly stood up.
Chen Xun re-sealed the five Soul Essence Battle Souls into the Soul Locking Seal, leaving behind only one Giant Snake Puppet. However, he also picked up a few more Giant Snake corpses and threw them into his spatial ring in case of an emergency.
Although the six Soul Essence Battle Souls were only the size of a bean, they were more than ten times more refined than yesterday.
Chen Xun told Lei Wanhe and the others that this was the result of a night of refining the remnant soul of the giant serpent. However, he was clear in his heart that when he used the Concentration Curse to refine the Blood Pill, a large amount of Qi and Blood Essence was consumed while driving the giant serpent puppet. At the same time, a considerable portion of its true essence was also fused into the Soul Essence Combat Soul.
Almost until the end, the giant serpent puppet driven by the Soul Essence Battle Soul already had the appearance of a demon soldier. Its sharp fangs almost killed no fewer than twenty demon rats.
The small amount of soul power he had absorbed into his Soul Essence Battle Soul had now become extremely vast. This meant that these six Soul Essence Battle Souls could fuse with more remnant souls of desolate beasts without him having to pay more soul power.
Lei Wanhe looked at the giant serpent puppet standing beside Chen Xun and was secretly shocked.
He knew how difficult it was to cultivate a mo weapon, and how much effort it would take to refine a real mo weapon.
The giant serpent puppet beside Chen Xun was only a lifeless and stagnant meat shield last night. After just one night, it revealed a bit of fierce aura. The scarlet red serpent eyes were like precious jade condensed from fresh blood. The power of the attack of the attack of the attack of the attack and retreat was comparable to that of an early Reincarnation Realm cultivator.
Why wasn’t Lei Wanhe surprised?
If a mo weapon could really be refined so easily, what was the point of losing a bit of its soul and life force?
Thinking back and forth, there was only one possibility, and that was, like Chen Xun’s distracted Weapon Refining Technique, Chen Xun definitely had a secret technique to refine magical weapons.
“What should we do now?” Yu Wenying and Sister Yu Wenyuan had cultivated much longer than Chen Xun, but they were all immersed in cultivating when they entered the Divine Night Sect. Their natures were naive like young girls. This was the first time they had experienced such bloodshed, and they didn’t know what to do for a while.
“There’s flowing water in the depths of the cave. I’m worried that the underground rivers are all connected.” Chen Xun said worriedly. The Transformed Heavenly Yao was afraid of the Heavenly Flames and didn’t dare to leave the underground cave easily. However, it was clear that the Transformed Heavenly Yao wouldn’t be trapped in a small cave and wouldn’t show its head for the rest of its life.
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Lei Wanhe frowned deeply and said, “If these dark rivers lead to mountains beyond the flames, the problem would be very troublesome.”
Chen Xun nodded. This was also what he was most worried about.
Heavenly Yao’s intelligence wasn’t any weaker than that of humans. In the past, no one knew that Heavenly Yao was hiding in the depths of Tu Mountain. If these Heavenly Yao didn’t want to alert the snakes, they naturally wouldn’t show themselves so easily.
After they discovered the Heavenly Yao’s tracks, if the Dark River really connected to the surrounding mountains, these Heavenly Yao would very likely attack first.
Chang Xi shrugged her shoulders and said, “We were trapped for a day and night. It’s too late to report. It’s safer here now. The rest of us should be blessed.”
“I’m afraid this isn’t appropriate, right?” Lei Wanhe asked hesitantly.
If the sect knew that they had discovered the danger, but did not report it in time, the punishment would not be light.
As an outer sect disciple, Lei Wanhe was much more fearful of the laws of the Divine Night Sect than Chang Xi, who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth.
Chang Xi frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she said to Lei Wanhe, “You, Wen Ying, and Wen Yuan will immediately return along the same path. It seems that the mountain area outside the Heavenly Flame Range is abnormal. Chen Xun and I will walk further inside. You must be careful not to leave the Heavenly Flame Range easily …”
Chen Xun smiled helplessly in his heart. He didn’t expect that Heavenly Flame would be their greatest barrier at this moment. Walking out of the Heavenly Flame range, if they encountered a Heavenly Yao level demonic creature, it would be extremely difficult for them to survive.
Lei Wanhe and the others walked towards the outer perimeter. It was relatively safer. As long as they didn’t walk out of the area covered by the Heavenly Flames, they didn’t have to worry about encountering Heavenly Yao-level magical creatures.
Seeing Lei Wanhe and the Yu sisters disappear on the distant ridge, Chen Xun packed his bags and asked Chang Xi, “Where are we going?”
Chang Xi took out a blood red blood pill from her bag of holding and said, “Refine this blood pill first.”
Chen Xun was shocked. He didn’t expect Chang Xi to know the secret of his ability to refine blood pills.
