Guardian Soul Beast, Life Angel Shows Its Might

An interesting fellow?

Hearing Ling Luo say that, they were all stunned.

What kind of Soul Beast could make Ling Luo, who had effortlessly crushed a five-thousand-year Azure Wind Demon Tiger, call it interesting?

Yuanen Yehui and the others silently retreated several steps.

Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan knew that, with their strength, they absolutely could not be of any help. Not causing trouble was the best assistance they could offer.

Gu Yue, meanwhile, wanted to use this opportunity to see more of Ling Luo's limits.

She desperately wanted to know just how far this wielder of the power of two God Kings had progressed.

Only Na'er had complete faith in Ling Luo's strength. She believed that even without her help, Ling Luo could handle everything within this Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

Pure white wings spread behind him.

Ling Luo's eyes turned green, the color that symbolized life.

Emerald-like radiance draped over his body like a gauzy veil.

He gently pushed forward with one hand.

Immense Soul Power instantly obliterated the bushes before him.

The interesting fellow Ling Luo had mentioned also revealed its true form.

It was a giant snake roughly ten meters long.

Its entire body was covered in green scales that glittered beneath the sunlight, as though it wore a suit of jade armor.

The vertical pupils in its snake eyes radiated the chilling menace of a forest predator.

Its crimson tongue flickered, and the surrounding grass and trees instantly withered, stripped of vitality.

Two faint protrusions could be seen atop its flattened snake head, seemingly the beginnings of horns.

"Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake."

Gu Yue calmly identified the Soul Beast before them.

"A highly unusual Life Attribute Soul Beast that also possesses a certain amount of Dragon Bloodline."

"Unlike ordinary Life Attribute Soul Beasts, which bring abundant vitality to their surroundings, the life attribute of an Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake strips other living beings of their life force."

"Judging by its size, this Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake has likely cultivated for nearly thirty thousand years."

"Because of its special attribute and Dragon Bloodline, it can probably contend against an ordinary high-ranking Soul Saint."

Yuanen Yehui's expression immediately changed upon hearing Gu Yue's introduction of the Soul Beast.

"Contend against an ordinary high-ranking Soul Saint?!"

"Why would a soul spirit of this level appear in an Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform that only Soul Saints and below can enter?!"

One had to know that Battle Armor could not be brought into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Without Battle Armor, the gap between a Soul Douluo and a Soul Emperor could be called an insurmountable chasm without exaggeration.

With a Soul Beast like this appearing in the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, how were the Soul Masters who came here to undergo Spirit Ascension supposed to survive?

"Normally, it would not appear," Gu Yue said calmly.

"This Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake is most likely not an ordinary soul spirit. It is probably the Guardian Soul Beast of this Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, which is why it possesses strength far beyond what the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform should contain."

Gu Yue, who seemed to know the most about the Spirit Ascension Platform among them, appeared to have thought of something. A strange glint flashed through her eyes as she looked at Ling Luo's back.

Their current location should still be in the outer core region of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

A Spirit Ascension Platform guardian like the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake should not have appeared here.

Its appearance was absolutely no coincidence.

It was most likely someone's doing within the Spirit Pagoda.

Not many people possessed such authority.

Who could it be?

Gu Yue pondered in secret.

At the same time, Ling Luo and the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake began their clash.

As the jungle's apex predator, after sensing that the aura of the human before it was inferior to its own, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake launched the first attack.

Its scales scraped across the ground.

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake shot toward Ling Luo at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Its enormous maw opened wide, exposing sharp fangs.

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake was a special Life Attribute Soul Beast.

Once bitten by its fangs, one's life force would be rapidly drained away, causing them to lose the ability to resist before their vitality finally vanished completely.

Relying on this trait, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake had once been able to eliminate opponents stronger than itself through surprise attacks.

Although Ling Luo did not know much about this exceedingly rare Soul Beast, he was not an idiot. Naturally, he would not stand there and let the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake bite him so easily.

The wings behind him beat.

Ling Luo's body soared into the sky, causing the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake's savage lunge to miss.

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake raised its head and looked at Ling Luo in the sky, a trace of humanlike frustration flashing through its snake eyes.

Before reaching one hundred thousand years, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake had no ability to fly.

In this regard, it had it even worse than human Soul Masters.

After all, once human Soul Masters reached the Soul Saint level, even if their martial souls lacked flight capabilities, they could still fly by controlling their Soul Power.

However, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake was, after all, an apex predator.

Although it could not manipulate the power within its body as delicately as humans of the same level, a fifty-thousand-year Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake was not lacking in intelligence.

Its gaze turned toward Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, and the others who had retreated earlier.

Since it could not reach Ling Luo in the air, it only needed to find a way to make him come down.

These humans should be companions of the human flying in the sky. Then it would start with them!

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake quickly sorted everything out.

Seeing it rush toward Na'er and the others, Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear was already slightly raised.

But before it could approach Na'er and the others, Ling Luo in the sky had already made his move.

The first Black Soul Ring on his body slowly lit up.

Countless vines formed from emerald Life Energy condensed around the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake.

The mass of emerald vines shot toward the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake with lightning speed.

The Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake nimbly twisted its body, constantly evading, but there were simply too many vines.

Seeing that it was truly difficult to dodge them all, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake simply gave up on continuing to evade.

A sharp glint flashed through its eyes.

Its tail swept out like a whip, carrying power capable of corroding life.

Several vines snapped in response, yet even more life vines surged forth immediately afterward.

This was Ling Luo's First Spirit Skill:

Vine of Life.

A terrifying large-scale control-type Spirit Skill.

And this was not even the full extent of the skill.

The most terrifying aspect of Ling Luo's Spirit Skill was that if those vines could defeat an enemy, they could absorb that enemy's life force for their own use, achieving endless, wider-ranging control!

The range of that control would no longer be affected by Ling Luo's own strength, because it could sustain itself. It would only be limited by Ling Luo's Spiritual Power.

Yun Ming had once evaluated Ling Luo's Spirit Skill.

He believed that once Ling Luo's cultivation grew stronger, he could truly be called a walking humanoid natural disaster on the battlefield!

Under the endless barrage of life vines, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake finally made a mistake and was captured, its body firmly restrained.

Immediately afterward, the fourth Black Soul Ring on Ling Luo's body lit up.

Immense Life Energy condensed to an extreme degree.

A holy spear gradually appeared in Ling Luo's hand.

Fourth Spirit Skill, a top-tier assault-type Spirit Skill:

Spear of Redemption!

The spear flew from his hand and viciously stabbed toward the restrained Emerald Shadow Dragon Snake.

Boom!

Vast energy scattered outward like a tidal wave!
