Chapter 572: Chapter 540 First Battle with Exotic Spirit_2

There was a faint, ring-shaped haze around it, reminiscent of the protective aura that Cultivators use to shield their bodies, enveloping the creature.

Under the eternal night sky, it emitted a gray-yellow halo; the halo and haze merged, as if draping it with a mysterious veil.

As they approached, Pang Jian was the first to feel the robust Power of Earth, alongside intense Starlight amidst the halo and haze.

The halo it released was something Pang Jian could directly absorb, capable of refining his Immortal Primordial Spirit with Starlight.

"Huff!"

Pang Jian entered the blended area of haze and halo.

Compared to it, Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit was as tiny as dust, hardly worth mentioning.

But the moment this tiny Immortal Primordial Spirit entered the mixed zone of haze and halo, an intense assortment of forces crazily surged into his body.

His Immortal Primordial Spirit suddenly shone with an astonishing light!

...

Below,

the powerful members of the Dark Spirit Clan and Shadow Clan, residing on six continents, were looking up at the grey-yellow star. Suddenly, they saw a point of light around its outer ring flash abruptly.

As if another tiny but exceedingly brilliant star had suddenly appeared.

"It’s Him!"

In the Sky Shuttle Ship, the Dark Spirit Clan’s High Priest, along with several elders with level eight bloodlines, regarded Pang Jian as a God Spirit from an outer world and kept a close eye on the movements of the star above.

The sudden appearance of that piercing light made them certain that Pang Jian had finally decided to act, finally taking action against the Star Devourer that had tormented them for centuries.

"We hope, we hope He can kill the Star Devourer."

Saintess Cui Ling left the Altar of Praying to God, her slender body gracefully curved, her flawless, pale cheeks glowing with a soft luster.

She clasped her hands tightly before her heaving chest, praying in a dreamlike murmur.

The object of her prayers was the last God Spirit of their Dark Spirit Clan—the God of Shadow, but she was unaware that the God of Shadow had long since fallen.

...

"Crack! Crack, crack!"

On the parched surface of the grey-yellow star, suddenly deep chasms split open, and terrifying energy fluctuations burst forth from within.

"Swoosh!"

A limb of the Star Devourer, resembling a tentacle, shot out from one of those deep chasms, striking towards Pang Jian with the speed of lightning.

Pang Jian, who was engrossed in amassing power, hadn’t even had the chance to take a good look at a limb of the Star Devourer before he was harshly struck.

"Boom!"

It felt as though he’d been hit by a long, mountainous range.

Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit, having been struck like this, was thrown out of the haze and halo, most likely thousands of miles away from the gray-yellow star.

Although he endured a heavy blow, his Immortal Primordial Spirit, after stabilizing, was surprisingly unharmed.

This Primordial Spirit, crafted in the Immortal Realm from the fusion of his Spiritual Soul and the Fate Godhood of Purgatory, was more resilient than he expected.

He checked himself again, moving his limbs and quietly gathering strength to test.

He found everything worked smoothly.

Remembering the force of the Star Devourer’s strike, he felt that if he had taken it with his True Body, he would have at least suffered lacerations and several broken bones.

In Purgatory, those normal powerhouses at the Immortal Realm might not have been able to withstand such a hit.

Perhaps, only the physically formidable level nine Demon Kings would have survived a sudden assault from the Star Devourer.

"To call it a divine body would hardly be an exaggeration," he thought.

The formidable resilience of his Immortal Primordial Spirit gave Pang Jian even more confidence.

After readjusting, he flew toward the circular halo and haze region once again.

After its initial strike, the Star Devourer intended to retract its limb.

The being that existed within the star, currently "feeding" on this grey-yellow celestial body, seemed unwilling to waste too much energy entangling with Pang Jian.

At least for now, It didn’t want to interrupt its "meal"; It was still relishing its feast.

It assumed a casual strike would be enough to drive Pang Jian away and had no intention of a follow-up.

But It quickly noticed that the foreign Different Kind, whom It had just blasted, did not retreat but boldly and recklessly approached once more, seeking death.

"Swoosh!"

The limb of It, which was about to retract into Its True Body, struck out again like lightning.

At that moment, as Pang Jian extended his Divine Sense to scrutinize further, he was terrified to discover that one of the tendrils making up the Star Devourer’s web-like body was tens of thousands of feet long!

That was comparable to the true form of a God Spirit.

His Immortal Primordial Spirit could change at will, but even at its largest, it had its limits, and could at most match the scale of a limb of the Star Devourer.

Then, wasn’t the true form of the Star Devourer equivalent to this dusky yellow star?

No wonder it dares to be called the Star Devourer.

"Snap!"

This limb, separated from the body of the Star Devourer, suddenly broke off and hurtled through the Dark Prison Sky with furious momentum.

The information provided by the Dark Spirit Clan was clearly off, where was the slow movement of the Star Devourer?

Perhaps Its entire body moved slowly, but a limb extended from Its body was definitely faster than lightning!

Otherwise Pang Jian wouldn’t have been hit in an instant.

"A section of the limb, like a lizard’s tail, resembling a long snake, with strange patterns upon it, but certainly not of flesh and blood. The two ends of the limb were rather sharp, without head or claws, and within flowed complex and torrential energies, alongside the stirrings of a soul."

"After being severed from the True Body, the limb still maintained its intelligent nature, a truly rare Exotic Spirit."

Pang Jian observed silently, while quietly amassing his own power.

He deliberately slowed down and didn’t rush into that area mingled with smoke and halos of light.

He was waiting for the limb of the Star Devourer to leave.

He didn’t have to wait for long, as the limb of the Star Devourer quickly passed through the outer halo of the star.

In an instant, thunder roared and lightning flashed!

A sea of intertwined lightning covered the limb of the Star Devourer, and Pang Jian’s Immortal Primordial Spirit no longer shrank back in fear.

The Immortal Primordial Spirit suddenly grew immense!

"Boom!"

Following a thunderous roar, Pang Jian revealed a divine form within the Purgatory World that could be referred to as the "Divine Dharma Aspect."

This form towered tens of thousands of feet high, shrouded in a hazy glow like a majestic Divine Mountain.

His presence was vast and grandiose, as the sound of Great Tao resonated from within, drawing the attention of the strong beings in the Dark Prison.

Placing his divine form in the sea of Thunder and Lightning, he was like an ancient god who propped up the heavens, bending down to embrace the limb of the Star Devourer.

Cold Ice transformed into sharp blades, flying out from his chest and underarms, cleaving into the Star Devourer’s limb.

Countless Moon Blades, filled with bright moonlight, sliced through the Star Devourer within the sea of Thunder and Lightning.

The limb of the Star Devourer that had flown from the dusky yellow star struggled to retreat under his relentless attack.

But it could not break free from his embrace.

"God Spirit!"

"A stranger, likely a god from the Outer Star River who has descended!"

"He must have been angered by the Star Devourer, which attracted a star into the Dark Prison, and therefore came down to pursue and kill the Star Devourer!"

"The Dark Prison will be graced with daylight because of His arrival!"

On the six continents, those tribes afflicted by the Star Devourer, seeing no hope and not daring to birth even level-9 Bloodline powerhouses, boiled with excitement at this moment.

The arrival of Pang Jian, and his struggle with the limb of the Star Devourer, was a light tearing through the darkness!

"Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

As the beings of the Dark Prison cheered, more limbs of the Star Devourer shot out from inside the dusky yellow star.

Eight limbs, like eight ancient serpents racing with the stars and moon, some dazzling with blinding starlight, others coated with rocky ice, and still others as virile as earth dragons.

In the Dark Prison World, all sorts of Supernatural Abilitie were displayed within Its limbs.

Having devoured many Fragment Lands of the Dark Prison and three complete continents, It was familiar with all known powers of the Dark Prison, and It had also refined a vast expanse of energy.

It endowed Its various limbs with these energies, and now in a state of furious rage, It truly unveiled Its edge.

At this moment, Pang Jian, still in the form of his Immortal Primordial Spirit, was using the power imprinted on his body to tear and slice at the limb of the Star Devourer.

As the limb burst open, it spilled radiant brilliance, as if the Star Devourer was spraying its blood.

But Pang Jian’s form, lacking a handy blade, and without the Origin Demon Sword, couldn’t in a short span of time shred the limb into tinier fragments.

Faced with more limbs shooting out, and faced with the Star Devourer in a state of fury, Pang Jian felt somewhat vexed for a moment.

...
