Chapter 975: 884 Subdue the True Spirit

Qingniu had not yet managed to stand up when two thick yellow chains burst out from the ground, locking onto its forelimbs.

With a fierce stomp of its right hoof on the ground, the earth trembled and millions of long cracks appeared on the ground. These cracks quickly expanded, and the ground collapsed for thousands of miles around.

It emitted a dazzling green light from its body, flying towards the sky, pulling up one of the thick yellow chains.

When Qingniu’s beastly hoof stepped onto the yellow chain, it shattered instantly as if it were made of paper.

"So easily destroying a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, truly a True Spirit. Submit to me and I can spare your life."

The Yellow Giant Ape spoke.

"Spare my life? It’s not certain yet who will be sparing whom!"

Qingniu, full of bold spirit, shot out another thick beam of yellow light from its horn, heading straight for the Yellow Giant Ape.

With a light tap of its right hoof on the ground, the gravity in tens of thousands of miles around increased dramatically.

The Yellow Giant Ape was fearless. It punched towards the void, and the piercing sound of ripping air resounded as a huge yellow fist appeared and shattered the thick yellow light.

A huge shadow of Qingniu appeared in the sky, which was its Dharma Nature.

The right hoof of Qingniu’s shadow stomped onto the void, causing ripples in the air, as a green-colored hoof appeared, charging directly at the head of the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape responded quickly, punching out with its right fist and crushing the green beastly hoof.

A breeze blew behind the Yellow Giant Ape, and Qingniu materialized, its horn glowing brightly and releasing a thick beam of yellow light that surged towards the Yellow Giant Ape.

At that moment, a tall yellow earthen wall burst forth from the ground, shielding the Yellow Giant Ape.

The yellow light struck the earthen wall, which petrified instantaneously.

Qingniu’s beastly hoof stepped onto the yellow stone wall, causing it to crack open, and a massive red blade of light flew towards it.

Qingniu was about to dodge when a loud bell tolled, causing unbearable pain in the depths of its Divine Soul, making its body tremble.

Before it could regain its senses, ripples spread across the void above its head, and a huge Blue Dragon Claw emerged and swooped down.

The Blue Dragon Claw struck Qingniu, leaving several large bloody holes on its body.

True Dragon Capturing Immortal Claw!

Had that claw struck Qingniu’s head, it certainly would have been dead.

Since Qingniu had become a True Spirit, it had never suffered such a loss. It let out a painfully intense roar as it emitted a bright green light, and its wounds visibly healed at an eye-catching speed.

Self-Healing Body!

A red ring of light swept past, engulfing Qingniu’s body in blazing flames.

Tens of thousands of miles around turned into a sea of red fire, with flames reaching towards the heavens. The void couldn’t withstand such high temperatures and tore apart.

"You don’t think your physical body is very strong, do you? If not for your impressive Divine Skills, I would have killed you already. I even held back with my Divine Sense Attack earlier, otherwise, I could have destroyed your sea of consciousness. Next time it will be a Divine Soul Attack."

Vermilion Bird spoke in an icy tone.

A splendid green light shone from Qingniu’s body as a towering green tornado rose into the sky.

The clanging of bells echoed, and the green tornado dissipated, revealing the figure of Qingniu.

"If you won’t drink a toast, you’ll be forced to drink a penalty. Time to send you on your way; I’ll use your corpse to refine a Treasure."

Vermilion Bird’s tone was icy cold. A bright Spiritual Light shone from its brow as a red Flying Sword that was about two feet long shot out towards Qingniu.

"Mercy, my lord! I am willing to acknowledge you as my master."

Qingniu hastily begged for mercy, realizing that the other’s Divine Skills were far superior to its own.

Had the other wanted to kill it, the Blue Dragon Claw would have targeted Qingniu’s head instead of its abdomen just now.

The Red Flying Sword struck the ground as Vermilion Bird transformed back into a human form, revealing the appearance of Shen Long.

"Submit honestly for me to establish the Restrictions, or I will turn you into a corpse."

Shen Long spoke coldly, spewing out a mouthful of Essence Blood and imprinted several spells.

The Essence Blood whirled around, turning into mysterious characters that flew towards Qingniu.

Qingniu did not resist, allowing the characters to enter its mind.

Shen Long established multiple Restrictions, finally setting his mind at ease, and then landed in front of Qingniu.

Qingniu shone with splendid green light from its body, transforming into a burly young man in a green robe.

The green-robed young man had honest features, looking simple and naive, with three Storage Bracelets on his hands.

"From now on, you will be called Shen Ben! Infuse mana into the Teaching Law Stone; your foundational cultivation knowledge is too scant."

Shen Long took out a Teaching Law Stone and handed it to the young man in the green robe.

"Yes, my lord."

Shen Ben agreed wholeheartedly, infusing his mana into the Teaching Law Stone, as a deluge of information rushed into his consciousness sea.

"This is the collection of resources I’ve amassed over the years, I hope my lord will not disdain them."

Shen Ben took out three Storage Bracelets from his person and handed them to Shen Long.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense swept over them and he took in a sharp breath of cool air, there were no less than five thousand stalks of Spiritual Medicine of over a hundred thousand years old, and plenty of Spirit Fruits as well.

"How did you cultivate into a True Spirit?"

Shen Long inquired.

Shen Ben answered truthfully that in his earlier years, he had found a Spirit Medicine Garden, broken the Restrictions, and consumed the Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits inside, which eventually led to his cultivation into a True Spirit.

"Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit, Seven Stars True Spirit Fruit, Eight-Star Golden Marrow Mushroom; your luck has been good indeed! No wonder you were able to cultivate into a True Spirit."

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

There was a particular synergy among the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit, the Seven Stars True Spirit Fruit, and the Eight-Star Golden Marrow Mushroom. Shen Ben had consumed a large quantity of the Nine Orifices Exquisite Immortal Fruit and Seven Stars True Spirit Fruit, which eventually led to his transformation into a True Spirit.

"My lord has incomparable Divine Skills; even after attaining the True Spirit, I am no match for you."

Shen Ben humbly stated.

"Just call me ’I,’ ’my lord’ is what others call me. By the way, have you ever encountered other True Spirits?"

Shen Long continued to inquire.

Subduing a True Spirit, his strength had greatly increased.

"Yes, but he is no longer here and has likely ascended to the Immortal Realm."

Shen Ben said.

"Do you know where there are powerful Restrictions here?"

Shen Long kept asking.

"I do, I have suffered a big loss there. My Divine Soul was injured, and it took the consumption of many Spirit Fruits and Medicines for healing Divine Soul injuries to recover."

Shen Ben spoke.

"Take me there. If we obtain something valuable, I will reward you handsomely."

Shen Long ordered, and released Shen Peng, Shen Chan, and the others.

Shen Lang flew in from afar; he had just been coordinating with Shen Long to deal with Shen Ben.

"Yes, my lord. It is in the northwest direction."

Shen Ben said.

Shen Long nodded, leading them onto the deck of the blue giant ship.

With a gesture of a cultivation spell, the blue giant ship soared high into the sky and quickly disappeared over the horizon.

······

A vast expanse of green dense forest was suddenly shattered by a deafening explosion, as a huge surge of red light burst into the sky. The ground shook and the trees swayed, and numerous towering trees were lifted into the air by the powerful shockwave, turning into countless wood chips before they hit the ground.

Deep in the forest, Bo Xin and Bo Xiao stood in an open area, their gazes dark and solemn, with the ground covered by a thick layer of ice.

"Hanwu Black Tortoise Dharma Nature! They are from the True Spirit Noble Family of the Lin Family!"

Bo Xin spoke with furrowed brows.

They had encountered two Human Clan Mahayana Cultivators, and after a fierce battle, one of their own had died while they severely injured the two Mahayana Cultivators.

"Only that Female Cultivator could summon the Dharma Nature of the Hanwu Black Tortoise. If they both could, they wouldn’t have fled. They haven’t mastered high-rank Divine Soul Techniques. Their Divine Souls have been severely injured by us. It won’t be easy for them to recover."

Bo Xiao spoke slowly.

"So many years have passed, and it’s surprising that there are still cultivators from the Lin Family who have cultivated to the Mahayana Realm. Fortunately, they haven’t mastered high-rank Divine Soul Techniques, otherwise, we would have been finished here."

Bo Xin spoke with some relief.

"It’s not surprising; the conditions for cultivating high-rank Divine Soul Techniques are stringent. The Lin Family is long gone, and for the Descendants of the Lin Family to master high-rank Divine Soul Techniques isn’t easy. They had Eighth Rank Secret Talismans in their possession, so they could escape quickly. If we encounter them again, we must kill them. Let’s leave this place for now. Hopefully, we can find the control nexus of a Small World."

Bo Xiao said in a solemn voice, and the two left the area.
