Xu Long is going to find the Soul-Seizing Divine Flower. This thing can bewitch the minds of Cao Yanbing and others, so it should be a good thing.
Without the obstruction of Tarantula No. 5, Beetle No. 6, or Fire-Eating Lizard Gila, and without those messy modified undead getting in the way, Xu Long quickly found his target.
The Soul-Seizing Divine Flower is indeed a flower.
However, this flower is a bit too big, and its smell is quite strong.
It is about ten meters in diameter, entirely blood red, with a bowl-shaped structure in the middle containing a pool of clear water.
The flowers are very brightly colored, but the smell is like a mixture of rotten eggs, stinky tofu, and durian heated in a microwave. If you touch even a little bit, you'll turn into the person cooking shit behind the scenes.
Name: Soul-Seizing Divine Flower
Level: None
Type: Consumables/Other
Origin: Rakshasa Street
Effect:
1. The petals and stamens of the Soul-Seizing Divine Flower have completely different effects. The petals can greatly enhance physical strength and are effective for those below the Mahayana Stage. The stamens can enhance soul power and are only effective for those below the Immortal Realm.
1. The stamen of the Soul-Seizing Divine Flower absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensing it into a spiritual liquid. After the Guardian Spirit drinks this spiritual liquid, it can reshape its physical body based on real objects.
Description: A legendary spiritual object, possessing extremely powerful effects.
"This is really good stuff!"
Xu Long put away the Soul-Seizing Divine Flower, intending to give it to Xiong Da when the time was right.
Since we're going to reshape his physical body, we naturally have to design it according to Xiong Da's strengths.
Xu Long has no shortage of spiritual energy, but he lacks suitable flesh and blood.
His own flesh and blood were far stronger than any other physique, making him extremely unsuitable for Xiong Da.
This body is perfectly suited to the Power of Oblivion; if Xiong Da's soul were to enter it, it would likely be Oblivion instantly.
Xu Long decided not to go back, as he didn't know how long Cao Yanbing and Yan Fengzha would talk. Instead, he continued walking forward.
According to the plot, Father Honglian should be waiting in Gila's palace at this time.
Because everyone was killed and no one came back to report, Father Honglian had no idea what had happened.
boom!
He kicked the door open, and immediately Father Honglian's mocking words came from inside.
"Where are Tarantula No. 5 and Beetle No. 6? They were both killed? You lost a battle and came back to vent your anger on the door? It's just Cao Yanbing, is he that hard to deal with?"
Father Honglian sat in a chair, legs crossed.
But when he saw who was outside the door, he was stunned as if struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to recover.
"You... you... you... you weren't dead... dead...?"
Father Honglian trembled, his face filled with fear.
"I'm dead? Even if your whole family were to die, I wouldn't die."
Xu Long snorted and stepped inside. "Looks like you have a spy in the Spirit Domain, and not just any spy. It must be some kind of Spirit Controller, right?"
Initially, only Spirit Controller Li knew about Xu Long's trip to the Spirit Domain. Later, after Li escaped, the other seven Spirit Controller and the Da Yutian also found out.
Knowing about this, and that Xu Long was dead, must have been leaked by one of the Eight Great Spirit Controller or the Da Yutian.
Such a shameful thing would normally be kept secret by most people; only those whose hearts are not aligned with the Spirit Domain would tell others.
As a result, the problems in the Spirit Domain were far more serious than Xu Long had imagined.
A superficial harmony is the least of it; perhaps just one spark is all it takes to ignite internal strife within the Spirit Domain.
"There are more spies in the Spirit Domain than you imagine. Not only the Kingdom Organization, but also the Hall of Heroes and the Divine Martial Spirit Legion have them. Even those Second-rate- or Third-rate small organizations have connections with people within the Spirit Domain."
Seeing that Xu Long didn't seem to have any intention of taking action directly, Father Honglian breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that it didn't directly kill someone means it still has value.
As long as there is value, there is a chance to survive.
Xu Long's strength must be extremely high, given that he was able to single-handedly enter the Spirit Domain and fight the Great War of Separation, and even survive the attack of the peerless ferocious beast, the Three-Eyed Qilin.
Without absolute certainty of victory, Father Honglian did not want to engage in a direct confrontation with Xu Long.
"You should have killed Fire-Eating Lizard Gila by now, right?"
Father Honglian asked.
"If they have no value, just kill them; it won't take any effort anyway."
Xu Long took out a chair from his spatial ring and sat down opposite Father Honglian.
Who is the leader of your Kingdom Organization? What are you plotting? How powerful is the strongest member?
"The leader has always been mysterious, always wearing a mask and disguising his voice when he appears. No one knows his identity, let alone his purpose. I'm following him only for cultivation resources, as are the others."
Father Honglian was very obedient and answered all of Xu Long's questions without reservation.
As the saying goes, those who understand the times are the wise ones.
In the face of life, dignity and integrity are meaningless.
If the rest of the Kingdom Organization saw Father Honglian's current state, their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets in astonishment.
Father Honglian, who is usually arrogant and thinks everyone else is an idiot, actually has a time when he is as well-behaved as a primary school student.
Xu Long asked, Father Honglian answered.
Xu Long didn't rush to kill him, but instead treated him as someone to chat with.
About half an hour later, Xu Long was silent for ten seconds, then looked up and asked, "Half an hour, are you ready?"
"You knew all along? And you still dared to let me prepare?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, Father Honglian's face immediately showed a look of horror.
He boasted that he had done it without anyone noticing, but he never expected that Xu Long knew everything from beginning to end.
" Cao Yanbing and the others are too slow. I'll kill some time here before heading over; I should be able to catch up then."
Xu Long said nonchalantly.
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous! You really think you can take me down?"
Father Honglian roared, his face contorted with rage, "I've already wrapped the entire hall with Spirit-Binding Silk Spirit-Binding Silk. With it here, you can't summon your Guardian Spirit Guardian Spirit. Without its help, you're nothing more than a human with a little power. Hahaha, do you feel weak all over? Do you feel your strength draining away? In two minutes at most, without me even lifting a finger, you'll be paralyzed on the ground, unable to move!"
Father Honglian laughed wildly, looking up at the sky; he was genuinely happy.
Those whom even the Spirit Controller and the Three-Eyed Qilin couldn't kill would die right before their eyes.
How could I not be excited? How could I not be happy!
The pressure Xu Long exerted on him was immense, to the point that he couldn't even muster the will to resist.
However, being the fifth knight of the Kingdom Organization, even if they cannot confront him head-on, they will still try their best to achieve victory.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, he still won in the end.
Without the invincible and ferocious Xiong Da, Xu Long would never be a match for him.
The so-called Spirit-Binding Silk, as the name suggests, is a thread that binds spiritual energy.
Once this thing is placed underfoot, it will completely sever the connection between the Spirit Host and the Guardian Spirit.
Not only does it prevent the Spirit Host from summoning their Guardian Spirit, it also rapidly drains the spiritual energy from the host's body.
Regardless of who the Spirit Host, ninety percent of their strength resides in their Guardian Spirit.
Since Xiong Da can't be summoned now, with Xu Long's strength alone, isn't he as easy to manipulate as a chick?
"So what if your Guardian Spirit is powerful? If you can't summon it, it's useless. Heh, arrogance comes at a price, and that price is life."
Father Honglian's face was contorted with rage. He pulled a dagger from his pocket and brandished it as he approached Xu Long's position.
He didn't summon his Guardian Spirit because he didn't need to.
The Spirit-Binding Silk not only severed the connection between the Guardian Spirit and the Spirit Host, but also continuously drained the spiritual energy from Xu Long's body.
After waiting for so long, Xu Long had already become a phantom dragon.
"I am a messenger of God, walking in the world in His place. To be my enemy is blasphemy!"
Father Honglian muttered incantations, his expression growing increasingly ferocious.
At first glance, he looked more like a distorted monster than a human.
Die!
Father Honglian gripped the dagger tightly and plunged it fiercely into Xu Long's chest.
However, he froze the next moment.
His all-out attack only pierced Xu Long's clothes; it was simply unbelievable.
"How... how is this possible..."
The ferocity on Father Honglian's face turned to horror. Let alone Xu Long, a mere human, even Xiong Da could probably stab him.
But why...?
"My strength is far greater than you imagine, even greater than the vast majority of Guardian Spirit."
He calmly took the dagger from Father Honglian's hand and rubbed it into Powder in his palm.
The dagger was covered in runes and possessed considerable power, but it was made of ordinary metal and was therefore useless.
"Your cultivation level is decent, at the Early Body Integration Stage, but your combat strength is barely at the Nascent Soul Stage. You rely too much on your Guardian Spirit, causing your combat strength to be completely incompatible with your cultivation level. When there are certain special moments when your Guardian Spirit cannot be summoned, you are essentially no different from a piece of trash."
Xu Long shook his head dismissively; he had no interest in such scum.
In the world of Rakshasa Street, the Spirit Host are like summoners; they summon their spirits whenever needed, and nine-tenths of their strength resides in their Guardian Spirit.
Just as Xu Long said, fighting enemies in this world is fine, but if placed among cultivators from countless worlds, these Spirit Host have almost no competitive advantage.
Because for those powerful cultivators, there are countless ways to sever the connection between the Spirit Host and the Guardian Spirit, causing their strength to drop significantly.
They can even kill the Spirit Host before the Guardian Spirit can arrive in time.
"My combat power is actually a bit stronger than my Guardian Spirit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying wave emanated from Xu Long's body and spread out in all directions.
Rumble!
Without even launching an attack, the mere fluctuations destroyed the entire hall.
"This..."
Feeling the power that was even stronger than that of an ordinary Guardian Spirit, Father Honglian was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected this to happen.
"Heh, you think you've got me cornered?"
Father Honglian sneered. Although he was shocked by Xu Long's strength, it was not time to surrender yet. He still had some tricks up his sleeve.
"Come out!"
Father Honglian roared, and immediately two figures appeared behind him.
One was a robust demon with bulging muscles, dark skin, blood-red eyes, and two ram's horns on his head.
One was a disabled woman nailed to a Iron Maiden torture device, with wings on her back and no legs. Crimson blood stained the device, making it look extremely gruesome.
" Iron Maiden Alfara and an incarnation of the Fallen Angels Azazel, are two quite good Guardian Spirit, but in front of me, they're nothing special."
Xu Long chuckled lightly, not caring at all.
Just as he said, those two Guardian Spirit were really nothing special.
If it were the fully-fledged Fallen Angels Azazel, Xu Long would be more cautious.
But this kind of disability is really unnecessary.
"Really? Anyone can brag. Let's see if you're really that good!"
After summoning the Guardian Spirit, Father Honglian's faith returned.
He roared at Xu Long and gave the order to his Guardian Spirit: "Kill him!"
At Father Honglian's command, the Goat-Headed Demon immediately took action.
boom!
The enormous fist slammed down, but Xu Long easily blocked it.
A man over five meters tall, with muscles that looked like they were about to explode.
He was less than two meters tall and thin.
The two men were vastly different in stature, yet they were evenly matched.
No! They were not evenly matched!
Because Xu Long didn't use his full strength at all!
"That's it? I remember you were pretty good at magic, why are you starting to throw punches?"
Xu Long sneered, looking at the Sheep Demon as if he were an idiot.
Demons are actually very primitive beings.
Despite possessing an extremely powerful body, he deliberately avoids developing close-combat skills and instead focuses on casting spells.
If demons' bodies and souls enhanced their spells, that would be one thing, but these wretched things are all fire and yin-attribute. Not only are they severely limited in their spellcasting abilities, but they also lack any additional talents.
It's like asking Schwarzenegger to embroider or asking Guo Xiaosi to box.
The former tore the cloth if he wasn't careful, while the latter could only hit up to the knee.
Hehehehe!
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the Goat-Headed Demon let out a series of wicked and arrogant laughs.
The next instant, jet-black air currents emerged from the Goat-Headed Demon's body and quickly enveloped Xu Long.
Legend has it that Azazel was the first angel to fall from grace for betraying Jehovah God, and he possessed immense power.
He is the ruler of Hell, the guardian of goats. Because he has not forgotten God, he still has wings.
This Goat-Headed Demon is merely an avatar of Azazel, possessing some of the power of Fallen Angels.
Even the real Fallen Angels Xu Long killed a large number of them, let alone just an avatar.
A thick, dark fog enveloped Xu Long; it was formed from pain and resentment, capable of corroding the soul, and was one of Azazel's most powerful methods.
Even the mighty Archangel dared not confront him head-on.
However, it was of no use to Xu Long.
Three soul transformations brought Xu Long's soul to a level that Azazel could not comprehend.
Unless one reaches the Immortal Realm, any soul attack will be ignored.
Moreover, some attacks can even be absorbed in reverse to strengthen one's own soul.
call!
With a single breath, he dispersed the mist, leaving Xu Long with a face full of pain.
This stuff is incredibly ineffective, but it really does smell awful.
The stench of decay and decay almost blew his skull off.
