Ominous! Chaos! Filth! A Real Monster!
The terrifying maw, filled with gleaming, gaping teeth that had swallowed the Night Shadow Demon Eagle, didn't sink into the ground. Instead, it moved with a chilling, writhing motion directly toward the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger.
It felt as if the ground itself was churning, carrying that gigantic maw as it moved across!
It felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Lin Xia's mind!
"Spirit Bone!"
He instantly remembered the strange light on the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger!
What else could make a top-tier Soul Beast, five or six thousand years old, emit a unique light after death, besides its Spirit Bone?
Moreover, judging from the intensity of that light, it's definitely not an ordinary item!
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Lin Xia had that thought, the Poison Vine Bone Wings on his back moved as if they were his own limbs!
The six dark green vines instantly disintegrated, with two of them, like venomous pythons brimming with power, shooting out like lightning with a sharp whooshing sound!
Sizzle!
The vines precisely wrapped around the enormous, withered, and charred corpse of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger, and suddenly pulled it back with force!
Boom!
Almost the instant the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger was dragged away from its original spot, its terrifying maw slammed shut like a gate to Abyss!
The enormous fangs bit down hard on the spot where the corpse had just been, and the hard rock ground was shredded and swallowed up like tofu, leaving a bottomless black pit!
Gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air!
The instant the Poison Vine Bone Wings retracted, Lin Xia's right hand shot out like lightning, his fingertips touching the fist-sized, irregularly shaped, pale white crystal on the Soul Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger's corpse— the Head Spirit Bone —which emitted a warm yet powerful energy fluctuation!
It feels cool to the touch, yet it contains immense spiritual energy and a hint of the ferocious aura of a tiger!
A surge of ecstasy welled up inside me!
It really is Spirit Bone!
Moreover, it is an extremely rare Head Spirit Bone that perfectly matches one's Mental Attribute!
With a thought, the Spirit Bone was instantly Storage Soul Tool.
However, this ecstasy didn't even last a moment!
"Roar--!!!"
A roar that defied description, as if ten thousand souls were weeping and the earth were shattering, burst forth from the ground with a blasphemous rage!
Its Psyshock far exceeds that of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger by a hundred times!
The sound instantly struck Lin Xia and Ivysaur as if they had been Bolt Strike. Blood trickled from their seven orifices, their minds went blank, and all they could hear was the destructive roar!
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
The earth churned and tore apart violently! It was as if some ancient, slumbering monster had been utterly enraged!
Amidst the flying boulders and dust that blotted out the sky, an unimaginable behemoth burst forth from the earth's crust!
Lin Xia and Ivysaur barely managed to steady themselves amidst the dust and smoke. Looking up, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their blood freezing instantly!
That was a terrifying being, hundreds of meters tall!
Its main body is not flesh and blood at all, but is made up of countless twisted, rotten, and stuck-together corpses!
Human heads, arms, torsos... severed limbs, shattered carapaces, broken wings of various Soul Beast... even the remains of some strangely shaped, ominous unknown creatures...
They were as if Sheer Force mixed and cast together, forming the "body" of this monster.
Countless severed limbs twitched and twisted on their own, eerie green Will-O-Wisp flickered in their empty eye sockets, and their open mouths opened and closed silently, uttering chilling murmurs.
At the top of this enormous aggregate of corpses, the gaping maw Abyss with menacing teeth that had just devoured the Night Shadow Demon Eagle, was its "head"!
The maw was deep within endless darkness, reeking of suffocating sulfur and the stench of decay.
Ominous! Chaotic! Filthy!
Merely witnessing its form, an extreme aversion, fear, and... eerie sense of belonging, stemming from a life-or-death instinct, overwhelmed Lin Xia and Ivysaur's minds!
"To blend... to integrate into..."
"To become a part of it... forever... the final destination..."
A Captivate yet nauseating whisper resonated deep within their souls, like countless maggots gnawing at their reason!
The urge to give up resistance, to walk towards the hill of corpses, and to merge one's body and soul into it, surged through their will like a tsunami, wave after wave!
My vision began to blur, as if the twisted mountain of corpses possessed an indescribable allure.
"Wake up! Wake up, Lin Xia!"
Lin Xia roared inwardly, and without hesitation, slapped herself hard twice across the face!
Snap! Snap!
My cheeks burned with pain, but this pain only briefly pierced through the Captivate fog. The next second, the whispers and the urge to merge returned with even greater force!
It was as if the Grudge and deathly aura of the entire Death Canyon were calling out to them through this monster!
"Dana!!"
Ivysaur also let out a painful hiss, its scarlet eyes filled with struggle, the light on the flower bud on its back flickering, and its roots trembling.
No! If this continues, they'll walk over and become part of the monster's body without the monster even lifting a finger!
"Damn it! I'll fight!"
Lin Xia's eyes were bloodshot. She felt her Soul Power, which had barely recovered somewhat under the perpetual motion cycle but was far from being replenished, and a fierce rage surged into her heart.
"Ivysaur! Solar Beam! Target—that mouth! Interrupt it!"
This is a desperate gamble in a hopeless situation!
It's also the only way I can think of that might interrupt mental pollution!
"Dana--!!!"
Ivysaur Sheer Force suppressed the tremors deep within its soul and let out a resolute roar!
Under the Sunny Day, the giant flower bud on its back, disregarding its own depleted Soul Power, frantically squeezed out every last bit of Soul Power, once again condensing into a dazzling golden pillar of light!
Boom!!!
A sacred beam of light tore through the smoke and dust, carrying the determination to purify everything, and shot towards the Abyss maw of the abyss atop the Corpse Colossus!
However--
An irresistible suction force suddenly emanated from the depths of the monster's gigantic maw!
Like a black hole in the universe!
The surging, Solar Beam, upon touching the gigantic maw, not only caused no harm, but were swallowed up and vanished without a trace by the endless darkness, as if the giant maw were connected to another dimension!
"Puff!"
"Dana--!"
A powerful backlash struck, causing his Soul Power to be completely drained in an instant!
Lin Xia and Ivysaur simultaneously Spit Up a mouthful of blood, their bodies feeling as if their bones had been removed, unable to support themselves any longer, and collapsed to the ground!
Although the Grassy Terrain, the Leech Seed feeding back, the Ingrain, and the continuous Sunny Day were still functioning, the trickle of recovery was a drop in the ocean in the face of this overwhelming monster!
Despair, like a cold, venomous snake, Wrap around Lin Xia's heart.
After consuming the Solar Beam, the hundred-meter-tall skeletal monster seemed even more "satisfied," its writhing limbs and flashing ghostly eyes twisting excitedly.
The enormous "body," composed of countless corpses, began to turn heavily but resolutely toward Lin Xia and Ivysaur. With each step it took, the earth shook, and countless pebbles and bones fell down.
It's over...
