Spirit Ascension Complete

All three of Austin Griffin's heads lifted at once. The darkness in the left head's pupil suddenly deepened, like a compressed blot of ink embodying nothingness.

The right head, meanwhile, blossomed with blinding light, the white of all beginnings.

Light and darkness converged before it.

The next moment, the light was stripped away, and the darkness was stripped away. Neither element could be used here at all.

The Silvermoon Wolf King, especially after taking the attack head-on, was sealed fast.

The Silvermoon Wolf King's expression turned ugly, its pupils contracting violently as it felt a fundamental power within its body—the power of its attributes—being forcibly extracted.

It roared, and the sound waves shook the forest.

"Now, Little Evil!" Ziyang said.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger sprang into action, its body warping through space like a compressed mass of mist as it instantly appeared at the Silvermoon Wolf King's side.

The Evil God Hook lashed out, leaving a dark purple trail as it precisely stabbed into the Wolf King's vital point.

Na'er attacked at the same time, her silver hair trailing behind her in an arc like a thrown meteor.

The Silver Dragon Spear spun in her hand, its tip slicing through the air with a faint hiss.

Her movements were swift and exceptionally fluid, her shifts almost dance-like.

The girl's spear techniques flowed smoothly as she kept shouting:

"Take this! Take this! Take this!"

Silver light flickered through the darkness. Every flash was accompanied by splashing wolf blood, raining red across the forest.

The three Millennium Golden Wolves tried to rush to the rescue, but Austin Griffin's third head locked onto them. Destruction Breath surged forth and swallowed all three beasts whole.

Gu Yue stood in the rear.

Her hands overlapped before her chest as elements gathered at her fingertips. Wind, fire, water, and earth—the four basic elements—revolved around her like a group of tamed nature spirits.

The elements danced.

The four elements intertwined into a spinning pillar of light that swept across the entire area.

Wherever the pillar passed, the Golden Wolves and Silver Wolves were swallowed up, their fur burning amid the Elemental Storm.

The encirclement collapsed at breakneck speed.

Na'er's spear tip pierced the throat of the final Silver Wolf, and her silver eyes reflected the fading motes of light from the Soul Beast.

Gu Yue's Elemental Storm gradually subsided. Four colors slowly revolved around her like dancers who had just finished their performance and were awaiting applause for their curtain call.

The Silvermoon Wolf King fell beneath the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Hook, its pale golden pupils already dim. It had long since been instantly killed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Ziyang stepped forward and watched the immense spiritual energy gather around the three of them. At that moment, the three Soul Rings beneath Gu Yue's feet also turned into three purple Soul Rings.

"Three Millennium Soul Rings now." He looked at Gu Yue's Soul Rings, his voice calm as he felt this battle should already be over.

"That's right. This mission should be complete," Gu Yue said. "If the Soul Rings' age increases any further, our bodies may reach their limits."

Ziyang nodded and ignored Gu Yue's lie. "Then this mission ends here."

Gu Yue and Na'er nodded at the same time, neither of them objecting.

The three of them left the Intermediate Spirit Platform together.

Their consciousness began to rise. The scent of the forest faded from their noses, replaced by a drier metallic smell.

They opened their eyes.

The hatch of the simulation pod slowly opened, and silvery-white light flooded in, glaringly bright.

Leng Yaoyu stood in the middle of the room with her back to them, studying the data on a soul-guide screen.

"You completed the mission well," she said with a smile.

Ziyang nodded. "A little tiring, though. We had to kill so many Soul Beasts."

Na'er jumped out of the simulation pod and stretched. "That was way too easy! There was no challenge at all!"

Seeing Na'er's confidence, Ziyang deliberately joked, "Then do you want to fight Gu Yue again...?"

Na'er's expression immediately darkened when she heard that. She then looked at Ziyang and said, "Don't bring that up. Just wait—I'll beat Gu Yue sooner or later."

Gu Yue stepped out of the simulation pod, her steps light and a faint smile on her face.

Na'er's eyes turned sharp as blades as she shot Gu Yue a glare. "Gu Yue, what are you smiling about?"

Gu Yue denied it. "I'm not."

"You smiled."

"I didn't."

"You did."

Leng Yaoyu watched the three little ones bicker from the side. Her gaze moved among them, and she felt that the Leng Family's future was full of hope.

"Alright, that's enough training for today. You three should go back and rest."

"Yes."

Ziyang and the other two answered in unison, temporarily stopping their bickering.

They turned and left the room. Na'er and Gu Yue headed to their respective rooms, the doors closing behind them.

Ziyang continued onward, pushing open a door as familiar darkness washed over him.

After entering the room, Ziyang turned on the lights.

First, he summoned Austin Griffin.

It curiously looked around.

Ziyang watched it, the pink light in his eyes gradually dimming, especially noticeable in the darkness.

"Austin Griffin, why do you always stare at Tang Wulin?" he asked in confusion.

Austin Griffin's middle head turned toward him, its mouth opening slightly to reveal the sharp teeth within. "I think he smells delicious. I took a bite last time, and he tasted really good."

Ziyang froze for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"He smells good, and he's especially delicious." All three of Austin Griffin's heads made a sniffing motion. "He's like a dessert, with some kind of destructive energy compressed inside his body."

Ziyang recalled the golden trident that had lit up between Tang Wulin's brows, as well as the Golden Dragon King's power that did not belong to this world.

It was probably because of the Golden Dragon King, but he was not sure whether he could definitely win against Tang San.

He also wanted to get a dessert for Austin Griffin. After all, the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core should be able to raise its strength by a huge margin.

Once it digested it, becoming a true God of Heavenly Tribulation in the future might be uncertain, but becoming a God King would definitely not be a problem.

"This is a little difficult. We don't have a way to travel back and forth quickly."

Ziyang pretended to be conflicted. After all, without even a means to save their lives, how could they fight Tang San?

The moment he finished speaking, Austin Griffin directly smashed apart the space before them. "Boss, isn't it just spatial travel? I've always been able to do that!"

Hearing that, Ziyang was speechless. Wasn't this Austin Griffin acting far too much like the real thing?

If you're the real thing, then what am I?

But after thinking about it, he still decided that acting sooner was better.

Tang San had already made a move against him once. In the short term, he should not be able to act again.

He said to Austin Griffin, "Then we'll give it a try tonight. Can you safely take that thing out of Tang Wulin's body?"

"Boss, can't you just fish it out with a fishing line?" Austin Griffin said.

Ziyang nodded, feeling that Austin Griffin's words made sense. If he controlled it carefully, he seemed capable of doing that.

"Then we leave tonight! We go quickly and return quickly. At the slightest danger, we retreat."

"Yes!"
