An Opening That Had Never Been So Wonderful

A Soul Beast's instincts were all extremely sharp, and the chaotic Spatial Fluctuation in the sky made them feel deeply uneasy.

But that pressure came quickly and left just as quickly. The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake that had descended here seemed to have a very clear purpose, charging straight into the depths of the forest.

Ji Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly as he vaguely sensed the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's intentions. However, he did not pay it much mind and continued in a deep voice, "Starting from the Ancient Era, among the Soul Spirits preserved by our Spirit Transfer Pagoda, not all Soul Spirits could be absorbed by human Soul Masters. Most of the Soul Spirits that could not be absorbed by Soul Masters were proud and untamed because they possessed noble bloodlines, unwilling to become vassals of human Soul Masters. If a Soul Master forcibly absorbed them, it could even endanger their life. These Soul Spirits are also known as Unsubmissive Soul Spirits."

"Relatively speaking, this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake has a fairly weak cultivation among those Unsubmissive Soul Spirits, but its own race is incomparably powerful. You should be able to personally experience that very soon."

Through the equipment inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, Ji Hongyu finally captured the figure of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake.

As its name suggested, the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake was serpentine in form. Its body was long and slender, about five meters in length, and its entire body was covered in fine silver scales. Its snake head was a broad triangle, and its pair of pitch-black eyes were bright and spirited, flickering with a cold, eerie light. From head to tail, it exuded a dignified yet mysterious air.

Most wondrous of all was that a pair of huge, transparent Silver Light Wings had actually grown from its back. When the light wings spread open, they were more than three meters long. The silver radiance shining along the edges of the wings was especially dazzling, with a keen aura hidden within, as if they could cut space itself apart.

Its snake tail possessed that same texture as well.

The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's tail was different from those of ordinary snake-type Soul Beasts. It was not covered in scales, and instead resembled a rhombus-shaped Silver Crystal like the tip of a spear. Its point was long and thin, nimble yet powerful, tracing graceful arcs through the air. There was not the slightest need to doubt its terrifying lethality.

Sitting on the sofa and watching the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's movements on the Soul Guidance Screen, Yu Nanyuan's eyes were filled with burning heat, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. He believed he had already made his decision.

Inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, after sensing the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's aura, almost all the Soul Beasts were desperate to avoid it. But at that moment, a low roar suddenly resounded from the depths of the forest, rolling Sound Waves surging straight into the clouds.

The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake halted in midair, its pair of cold black vertical pupils staring indifferently at the forest ahead. With only a flash of its figure, it had already dived down. Silver light containing terrifying Power of Spatial Cutting burst from the pair of light wings on its back, and countless thick trees were severed at their roots, their cut surfaces smooth as mirrors.

Tree trunks crashed to the ground, unleashing a series of violent booms. A stretch of forest that had once been dense with branches and leaves was forcefully flattened into an open area.

"Hiss—" The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake raised its head high and let out a sharp hiss toward the sky, the sound seeming to carry both warning and provocation.

Opposite the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, a powerful figure also walked out from the shadows. Upon seeing it, apart from Ji Hongyu, who had already guessed in advance, both Yu Nanyuan and his grandfather Yu Zhen showed looks of surprise.

The towering figure was over three meters tall, its entire body densely covered in dark-gold fur. Its eyes, also dark gold, were filled with cruelty and indifference. Its arms were especially huge and thick, and from the tips of its two front claws extended dark-gold blades more than a meter long. Those sharp claws merely swept through the air along with its advancing movements, yet they even produced faint "chichi" sounds.

"This Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's target is this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? No, its goal is to leave this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform." Yu Zhen, who understood some of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's internal secrets, reacted instantly.

He knew that for an Unsubmissive Soul Spirit like the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, in order to save on the cost of storing it, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would place it inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. This was also done to make the Spirit Ascension Platform more complete and realistic. But he had never heard of any other Unsubmissive Soul Spirit that could, like the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake before him, sense the weakest area of the Spirit Ascension Platform and thereby attempt to escape.

This intelligence and Perception Ability were truly terrifying to such an extent.

Under normal circumstances, within the Spirit Ascension Platform, the two areas where the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform intersected with the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, and where the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform intersected with the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, were the most prone to problems. To prevent Soul Masters from mistakenly entering them, or inadvertently entering a higher-level Spirit Ascension Platform, the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would place some especially powerful Soul Beasts at these borders to monitor and guard them.

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had at least five hundred years of cultivation. In theory, no Soul Master below Four Ring Cultivation could possibly kill it. And it was precisely the Guardian of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform here.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Provoked by the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's roars shook the heavens, and streams of light flickered through the dark-gold fur all over its body.

The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake, however, fully displayed the sinister viciousness and calm of a snake-type Soul Beast. Without the slightest warning, it nimbly twisted its body, and its Silver Crystal tail, like a long, thin spear tip, suddenly stabbed forward.

A pitch-black Space Rift appeared. The snake tail directly pierced through the void, crossing a hundred meters to stab into the left side of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's chest.

The dark-gold light misting around the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear instinctively blossomed with intense radiance. Under the impact of that dark-gold light, the silver glow flickering on the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's tail dimmed greatly, but it still broke through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's formidable defense and left a hideous bloody wound on the left side of its chest.

A violent pain came over it. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear first froze for a moment, then its pair of dark-gold eyes were instantly stained blood-red with bloodlust. Amid a mad, furious roar, it suddenly raised its pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaws.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan was born with terrifying offensive and defensive abilities. It did not know how many years it had gone without suffering an injury of this degree. At this moment, it had been completely enraged.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear raised its pair of huge Dark Gold Terrorclaws high, then swiftly swung them downward, as if making a motion that tore apart the sky. A total of ten dark-gold light blades appeared across the air, dropping straight toward the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's head.

Yet the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake showed no fear at all. Its pair of black eyes even revealed several traces of anthropomorphic arrogance and disdain. Just like that, it opened its huge mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth like keen daggers. Immediately afterward, a mass of silver light so dense it was nearly solid began to gather before it.

However, that berserk Spatial Fluctuation only lasted for an instant before stopping. Replacing that mass of silver light was a deep, oppressive black sphere. This was not an Energy Body, but an Absolute Vacuum created by the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake through its astonishing control over the Space Attribute.

No matter or energy existed here; even light would be devoured without a trace.

This was the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's most powerful Innate Soul Skill, Vacuum Domain.

Merely approaching this black vacuum area made those ten Dark Gold Terrorclaws show a tendency to collapse and disintegrate.

Ji Hongyu made a prompt decision and took out his Soul Guidance Communicator, issuing an order to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda staff monitoring the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Bind the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake immediately. Do not let them collide here."

"Yes, Pagoda Master." The Spirit Transfer Pagoda staff controlled the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake cleanly and efficiently. The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake had been teleported through the Special Connection between the Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters' Spirit Ascension Platform, so they had made ample preparations from the very beginning.

The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake's figure vanished from the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform without any warning, and the black Absolute Vacuum it had created disappeared as well. The Dark Gold Terrorclaws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear landed on empty air.

Although everyone did not see the final result of the collision between the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, anyone with eyes could tell that the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake had almost completely suppressed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, whose cultivation was not much different from its own.

After doing all this, Ji Hongyu slowly turned around and looked at Yu Zhen and Yu Nanyuan.

Before Yu Zhen could say anything, Yu Nanyuan had already nodded with a firm expression.

"Grandpa Ji, I choose this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake to become my Soul Spirit."
