Chapter 1142 - Absorption



Chapter 1142: Absorption

The demonic phoenix’s feathers stood on their ends.

Followed by an eruption of flames from its body.

“I ask you again, are you willing to work as our mount?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

The demonic phoenix scoffed: 「 With just the two of you? 」

As soon as it said that, it turned into a blurred shadow that immediately escaped from the encirclement of the Xie Dao Ling incarnations.

Xie Dao Ling chuckled and abruptly vanished.

Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!

Zi zi zi zi zi——-

Flashes of fire and lightning clashed against one another in the air.

Thousands of Xie Dao Ling incarnations were swinging their whips to attack the demonic phoenix.

Outside of the battle zone, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes, concentrating on absorbing the residue power of the two dragons.

One minute would soon be up.

With Xie Dao Ling’s help, he was undergoing a complete reshaping of his strength.

This was a result of misunderstanding and miscommunication.

Xie Dao Ling didn’t know that he had the power of two dragons, so she had been on constant guard.

He didn’t think that Xie Dao Ling was so careful up to now simply because her goals were secrets rather than passing the Tribulation.

Fortunately, now that the two of them had met up and Xie Dao Ling had taught him her Secret Art, Gu Qing Shan no longer felt any type of suffering or pain as he absorbed the power. After this, Gu Qing Shan would be able to guard Xie Dao Ling while she searched for the secret without worrying about her own safety.

Since Gu Qing Shan’s mind was now cleared and he had time to spare, he checked the War God UI.

The numerous notifications on the screen still remained there, only disappearing after he read them, for the newer notifications to appear.

[Attention, please immediately stop this power fusion, otherwise...]

Gu Qing Shan skipped through all the notifications of this nature and checked the other ones:

[You’ve eliminated a great number of evil entities, forcefully converting them into Origin power for the Divine Mountain]

[Because of that, your Mahesvara Thaumaturgy – Orange Lance had evolved]

[Evil Suppressor – Orange Unseen]

[Mahesvara Thaumaturgy, evolution possible]

[This Thaumaturgy must be affixed to a long-handled weapon]

[While utilizing this Thaumaturgy, the long-handled weapon will obtain the characteristic of ‘Unseen’, unable to be discovered by enemies weaker than yourself]

[Furthermore, this Thaumaturgy will help you suppress all evil, forcefully converting them into pure Origin power to provide for the Divine Mountain of Sumeru]

[The more evil you suppress, the more feedback you will receive from the Divine Mountain of Sumeru]

[Specifically, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru will help you evolve your Mahesvara Thaumaturgy bit by bit according to your contributions, gradually turning stronger]

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

After [Orange Lance] came [Orange Unseen]

Seems like this evolving Thaumaturgy still has a lot of room for growth.

Unfortunately, the epithet that I happened to be bestowed was something like [Big Tabby Cat].

If the epithet that I got was something at the level of [Wielder of Heaven and Earth] or [Starflame War God], who knows how strong I would have gotten already.

Tch.

Fine, at least having the Mahesvara Thaumaturgy is better than not having it.

Perhaps, when [Orange Unseen] grows, it’ll become a decent Thaumaturgy as well.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan no longer felt regret.

He looked at the battle zone not too far away.

Xie Dao Ling was still fighting against the demonic phoenix.

The demonic phoenix had just avoided several dozen whips, tilted its body, and flew above the clouds.

The thousands of Xie Dao Ling incarnations smiled and spoke in unison: “Very decent speed indeed, that should be more than fast enough. I ask you again, are you willing to become our mount?”

The demonic phoenix mockingly shouted: 「 Tsk, damn debauched couple! No matter how many tactics you try, you’re still too green to actually defeat me! 」

As soon as it said this, Gu Qing Shan felt the atmosphere change.

Xie Dao Ling’s smile slowly disappeared.

“This monster, has no one ever taught you how to speak properly?” she lightly muttered.

Gu Qing Shan silently prayed for the demonic phoenix, then quickly retreated.

It’s done for.

Shifu is angry.

I should move as far away as possible.

Sure enough, he then heard Xie Dao Ling talking to herself: “Those feathers are certainly very beautiful, I originally didn’t want to ruin the pattern and style, but it seems I’ve been putting the cart in front of the horse. Let’s first show this thing what pain truly is...”

Invisible spirit energy fluctuations exuded from her body.

Gu Qing Shan checked Xie Dao Ling’s expression, then quickly retreated a bit further.

——-Shifu isn’t taking her child form, nor is she concerned with collecting information, she had truly entered a state of battle and decided to pull out all stops against this demonic phoenix.

I should take a bit more distance, just to make sure I don’t get involved in Shifu’s rage.

He wasn’t at all worried about Xie Dao Ling’s battle and was now focused on absorbing the cleansed power of the two dragons while browsing through the notifications from the War God UI.

Numerous combat messages remained on top of the UI.

“Wait a minute!”

Gu Qing Shan pointed at a certain message and asked: “Why did I suddenly lose 2 million Soul Points here?”

The War God UI replied: [Because you used Earth’s Choice to slay an exceedingly powerful and strange corpse]

“Why don’t I remember that?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

[You were in so much pain you couldn’t even think clearly] the War God UI replied.

Gu Qing Shan quietly pondered and found that it was plausible.

2 million Soul Points!

He smacked his lips, feeling a bit regretful for the loss.

Fortunately, killing that strange corpse and a bunch of monsters finally settled his total Soul Points to be just a bit above 4 million.

The loss was acceptable.

A new notification appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve gained the Thaumaturgy: Demon Dragon Transformation]

[Because you are human, and because you have your own combat style, you will personally decide how you transform into the Demon Dragon]

[You’ve obtained the full power of the Azure Dragon]

[Your Thaumaturgy: Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding had been strengthened and became harder to detect]

[You’ve fully absorbed the power of the two dragons]

[Your strength is equivalent to the strength of both the Demon Dragon and Azure Dragon combined]

[According to the Bygone Era human standard, you’ve become a sturdy young man]

[When your cultivation reach Sumeru Lord realm, you may begin cultivating ‘Enemy-killing Sword Technique’]

[Please continue to work hard and mature!]

After reading through everything, Gu Qing Shan uttered a long sigh.

[Enemy-killing Sword Technique]!

This was the strongest swordsmanship technique of the Bygone Era humans, one that not even Xie Gu Hong managed to cultivate.

Unfortunately, it will have to wait until I reach Sumeru Lord realm.

Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and silently adjusted the power in his body.

Endless power started to surge within his body, with the slightest thought, it would explosively exert itself like an erupting volcano.

After examining his change, Gu Qing Shan silently judged the Demon Dragon’s power.

During the Age of Old, Gu Qing Shan had once transformed into the Immortal Giant to fight against the Demon Dragon and Soul Shrieker.

The Demon Dragon’s power alone would not be able to defeat the Soul Shrieker at the time.

But combine that with the Azure Dragon’s power and Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t be any weaker compared to the Soul Shrieker of that era.

At the moment, the Soul Shrieker had successfully undergone apotheosis and become even more powerful.

——I might still not be able to win against it, but I now at least have the qualifications for a direct battle!

Gu Qing Shan’s fighting spirit boiled.

He turned back to the battle zone.

The demonic phoenix had already been beaten to the ground, its wings now used to cover its head, unable to move a single bit.

Xie Dao Ling held her lightning whip and struck the demonic phoenix’s head with a ‘sha’.

Followed by a desperate screech, the demonic phoenix’s feathers all stood up.

Three Xie Dao Ling incarnations then came forward and attacked at once.

Boom boom——

Lightning struck the demonic phoenix’s body, exuding the aroma of cooked meat.

Ten Xie Dao Ling incarnations stepped forward and whipped it again!

Twenty Xie Dao Ling incarnations surrounded the dozen-meter long demonic phoenix and whipped it!

Thirty Xie——-

「 Wait! 」the demonic phoenix panted heavily.

“What do you want to say?” Xie Dao Ling curtly asked.

The demonic phoenix caught its breath, and sternly said: 「 You look down on me too much, forcing me to be a mere steed to be ridden on! 」

Forty Xie Dao Ling walked forward, brandishing their whips——-

The demonic phoenix immediately continued in a single breath: 「 You underestimate me too much! In truth, not only can I carry you, but I can also serve tea, do your laundry, make pills and even cook, my Divination and talisman creation skills are also top-notch. You can easily see, I’m an all-rounder mount! 」

Xie Dao Ling paused and didn’t swing her whips.

The demonic phoenix sighed in relief and tried to flatter: 「 Sir, no, great ma’am, what are your orders? 」

Xie Dao Ling thought a bit and turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “We can go, I’ve fully absorbed the power of the two dragons”

Xie Dao Ling then placed her hand on the demonic phoenix’s head and placed the strictest lock seals she knew on it.

“Where did the demonic beasts in this world come from?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

The demonic phoenix replied: 「 They were a useless bunch who couldn’t achieve anything in the upper realms, so they ran down to the foot of Mount Sumeru. Most likely, they’ve already peed their pants in fear and ran back to the upper realm 」

Seeing how well it answered, Xie Dao Ling tossed something over.

“There, if you’re going to follow me from now on, I won’t mistreat people on my side, eat”

Since the demonic phoenix was already restricted by lock seals, it didn’t have anything else to be afraid of so it swallowed.

Sweet.

Soft and chewy.

——what is this thing?

It glanced at Xie Dao Ling, but didn’t have the courage to ask.

However, since it came from such a powerful ene—— no, such a powerful master, it’s definitely a good thing.

For some reason, the demonic phoenix felt a bit of gratitude and respect.

Gu Qing Shan silently sent his voice: “Shifu, what did you give it?”

“Jelly beans” Xie Dao Ling replied.

“Jelly beans?”

“Hm, jelly beans. Just earlier, it profanely called us a debauched couple, so how could it actually receive anything decent to eat? Impossible”

Saying so, Xie Dao Ling walked onto the demonic phoenix’s back.

The demonic phoenix hurriedly lowered its body, carefully lifting Xie Dao Ling with its wings, afraid that she might lose her footing.

Seeing how flattering the demonic phoenix was acting, he sighed and muttered: “Preferring discipline rather than encouragement, who would’ve thought that the exact same principle for training people would fit for training demonic beasts?”

He also stepped onto the demonic phoenix’s back.

It really must be said, although its skin was a bit charred from being struck by the lightning, it was still soft and warm.

The demonic phoenix cawed out loud before flapping its wings and took to the sky, flying above the layer of clouds.
