Hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast (3)
Jun Xuehan looked at the Sacred Rock Giant Python that had appeared and couldn't help but be surprised. She then carefully examined the Sacred Rock Giant Python.
The Sacred Rock Giant Python belongs to the Mountain Dragon King lineage, but it has a very weak Mountain Dragon King Bloodline within it. It is so far removed from the Mountain Dragon King that it can no longer be called a dragon, but rather a python.
But now, the Sacred Rock Giant Python has actually begun to transform into a dragon, and 40% of its body has already undergone this transformation.
The fact that Jun Xuehan's body had transformed into a dragon was not what surprised her. After all, while Soul Beast capable of dragon transformation were few, they were not nonexistent. For example, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body was already ninety percent transformed into a dragon; it only needed one last great tribulation to break through the million-year barrier and become Beast God.
There's also the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest, whose body is also approaching dragon transformation, but its cultivation level is currently somewhat lacking.
What truly surprised Jun Xuehan was the Bloodline of the Sacred Rock Giant Python. With her Dragon Race Bloodline perception, Jun Xuehan could easily sense that the Sacred Rock Giant Python's Bloodline was extremely pure.
Its purity is almost on par with Zi JI, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, but Zi JI is a dragon, while the Sacred Rock Giant Python is just a python. In terms of Bloodline and race, it cannot compare with Zi JI at all.
The current state of the Sacred Rock Giant Python is clearly abnormal, or rather, the Sacred Rock Giant Python has had an extraordinary opportunity that has greatly purified its Bloodline.
"Xuehan, which Soul Beast have you taken a fancy to?" Bibi Dong asked softly, her gaze sweeping over the Dark Phoenix and the Sacred Rock Giant Python.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan's gaze swept over the Dark Phoenix and the Sacred Rock Giant Python. His Silver Dragon Spear was now only missing the earth and Space Attributes, and these two Soul Beast met the attribute requirements.
After careful consideration, Jun Xuehan pointed to the Sacred Rock Giant Python in front of her and said, "Teacher, this Sacred Rock Giant Python is more suitable for me, so I will choose this Sacred Rock Giant Python."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong glanced at the Dark Phoenix, nodded slightly, and did not speak. Instead, she released her Second Martial Soul: Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
The Soul Devouring Spider Emperor appeared behind Bibi Dong, with seven Soul Ring— six black and one red—appearing beneath its feet. Bibi Dong's gaze fell upon the ethereal Light Phoenix in mid-air, and the sixth Soul Ring beneath her feet suddenly began to flicker.
Bibi Dong seized the opportunity, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and soared into the air. Her two Emerald Giant Sickles rose up at the same time, diagonally crossing and slashing out a huge green fork-shaped wave that pierced straight towards the Light Phoenix in mid-air.
The giant scythe pierced through the illusory body of the Light Phoenix, and crimson blood splattered onto the ground. The Ninth Soul Ring under the Golden Crocodile's feet flashed, and with a powerful strike, it slammed the Light Phoenix the ground.
Cracks appeared on the ground, along with a deep crater. Just as the Light Phoenix was about to struggle to its feet, the Golden Crocodile fell from mid-air, slamming into the Light Phoenix pinning it back to the ground, thus suppressing the wounded Light Phoenix.
"Xue'er, with this final blow, its Soul Ring will be yours," the Golden Crocodile whispered to Qian Renxue, standing on the back of the Light Phoenix.
"Okay, Grandpa Golden Crocodile!" Qian Renxue replied, her Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul rising behind her. The Martial Soul instantly possessed her, and the Fifth Soul Ring beneath her feet flashed in response.
A longsword formed from Sacred Flame appeared in Qian Renxue's hand and thrust straight at the head of the Light Phoenix.
The Light Phoenix looked at the longsword thrusting towards it, its eyes showing no anger or resentment, but rather a cold laugh and mockery.
Looking at the expression in the eyes of the Light Phoenix, Jun Xuehan felt a bad feeling. He pierced the Light Phoenix's head with his longsword, and blood splattered out, but no Soul Ring appeared on the Light Phoenix's body. Instead, it released a dazzling golden light.
"Nirvana Rebirth!" Jun Xuehan looked at the scene before her and didn't have time to think. She released her Silver Dragon King Martial Soul, a blood-red Soul Ring appeared under her feet, and a pair of Dragon Wing spread out from her back.
He reached out and embraced Qian Renxue's delicate body. Silver Dragon Wing enveloped their bodies, and the External Soul Bone, Silver Scale Armor, also appeared on their bodies.
After the blinding light, the wounds on the Light Phoenix healed instantly, and the Golden Crocodile that was stepping on the Light Phoenix was also thrown away at this moment. The scattered light was like sharp swords, shooting out in all directions.
"Humans, you deserve to die!" The body of the Light Phoenix soared into the sky, its voice filled with sneer and mockery.
Nirvana Rebirth is a unique skill of the Light Phoenix, and it can only be used once in a lifetime. Originally, this skill was prepared to be used in response to the great calamity of 200,000 years, but it has been used out of necessity now.
At this moment, the Sacred Rock Giant Python turned its gaze to Jun Xuehan, or more precisely, to the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul behind Jun Xuehan.
Shock and disbelief rose in the heart of the Sacred Rock Giant Python, which then transformed into rage, an immense rage.
"As Dragon Race, why do you help humans?" The voice of the Sacred Rock Giant Python resounded like thunder in Jun Xuehan's Spiritual Sea.
As a descendant of the Mountain Dragon King, the Sacred Rock Giant Python could naturally sense the Dragon Race aura emanating from Jun Xuehan, and it could even distinguish the aura of the Sacred Rock Giant Python Silver Dragon King.
Memories flashed in the eyes of the Sacred Rock Giant Python. Countless millions of years ago, when the Sacred Rock Giant Python was still a thousand-year-old Soul Beast, it happened to see the corpse of the Mountain Dragon King that had fallen from the Divine Realm.
Through the connection of Bloodline, the Sacred Rock Giant Python swallowed the Mountain Dragon King's Divine Core and, after countless years of refinement, became the overlord of the Maze Grand Canyon. It has even begun to transform into a dragon. Given enough time, it will also become a true Dragon Race.
But now, more than ten Titled Douluo have joined forces to hunt them down, and among them, there are even Dragon Race who have become their accomplices. This has filled the Sacred Rock Giant Python with boundless rage.
The voice in Jun Xuehan's Spiritual Sea, the imagined pain did not come. Her Martial Soul returned to her body, and there she saw Bibi Dong standing in front of them, using her Soul Power to block all the incoming light.
"Hehe, I underestimated it a bit." Bibi Dong withdrew her Soul Power, looked at the Light Phoenix circling in mid-air, and muttered to herself.
The Light Phoenix's Nirvana Rebirth was something she hadn't expected; in fact, it was something no one present had anticipated. Even Jun Xuehan only realized the concept of Nirvana Rebirth after seeing the light emanating from the Light Phoenix.
