Chapter 731: Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell
“Retreat!”
Yang Ling issued orders in a deep voice and waved his hand to summon a team of Self Destructing Bats that would bring up the rear. Then, he ordered the Golden Roc to carry the crowd and turn around to withdraw from the valley.
The Poison Dragon King had a Wandering Divine Beast’s power, and the numerous poison dragons behind him were very powerful. Still, it wasn’t difficult for the crowd to deal with them with their current power. However, the transparent Ancient Dragon Soul was very frightening, and Yang Ling detected intense danger from it before he even faced it.
After he’d become a low-level Wizard God, he hadn’t achieved any great breakthrough in Divination Wizard Spells, but his intuition had gotten keener at detecting danger.
Swoosh!
The Golden Roc flapped its large wings and soared into the sky. It was a powerful Wandering Divine Beast, and its danger intuition wasn’t any worse than Yang Ling’s. The Ancient Dragon Soul emitted a suffocating wave of pressure and overwhelming murderous aura. The Golden Roc detected great danger from it.
“Roar! I have said that none will escape. Anyone who intrudes into our Poison Dragon Valley will die.”
The Poison Dragon King roared loudly, and he chased them relentlessly with numerous poison dragons. The large, ugly malignant tumor atop its head contracted tightly, then expanded suddenly. Scalding flames shot out of it, accompanied by a terrifying Draconic Breath. The Self Destructing Bats, which were bringing up the rear, were burned to ash by the terrifying flames before they could detonate themselves. The Mother Empress, which was slightly slower than the others, managed to swiftly dodge the sulfur-scented flames, but it couldn’t dodge the Draconic Breath. Several hard scales atop its tail were corroded by it.
The Golden Roc was very swift, but the Ancient Dragon Soul, which made threatening gestures, was unexpectedly swifter. Quietly, it instantly appeared in front of the crowd. It blocked their path, and its transparent body emitted a sharp murderous aura. Many ripples appeared in the air around it, and some fine spatial fissures even appeared.
“Lord, I will block it; you should get out of here!”
The Black-Horned Demon, Natalie, spoke and flew out. She pounced toward the Ancient Dragon Soul, which blocked the group’s retreat route. She snapped her thin Shadowless Whip in the air, and it turned into a viper-like cold light ray, which coiled around the Ancient Dragon Soul’s neck.
Roar!
The Ancient Dragon Soul opened its large mouth suddenly and let out a silent roar. This roar reverberated in the crowd’s minds like thunder. The Ancient Dragon Soul ignored the Black-Horned Demon’s Shadowless Whip, and in an instant, everyone other than Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard Houtu got a splitting headache. They felt like their heads were being smashed by a hammer.
“Lord, you should leave quickly.”
The Black-Horned Demon, Natalie let out a small shout of pain. She continued advancing and brandished her Shadowless Whip. The whip instantly turned into a sharp spear, and it pierced the Ancient Dragon Soul’s belly. Then, it coiled around the Ancient Dragon Soul like a python and constricted it tightly. In an instant, it had destroyed the transparent Ancient Dragon Soul.
“Good; it’s good that you killed him.”
“Let’s go back to launch an attack! Let’s kill all of those poison dragons.”
…
After the Dark Dragon King, the Giant Ape King, and the others witnessed the divine might of the Black-Horned Demon, their spirits rose. They quickly pounced at the poison dragons and launched a counterattack with full power. They moved so quickly that Yang Ling couldn’t obstruct them in time. They were all desperate to tear those poison dragons to shreds. The Mother Empress pestered the Poison Dragon King, while the Golden Roc, the Corpse Wizard King, and the rest carried out a massacre. They formed the Demon God Battle Formation and attacked the poison dragons’ formation.
Is this the power of the Ancient Dragon Soul?
Yang Ling looked nervously at the Ancient Dragon Soul, routed by the Black-Horned Demon, which would shortly dissipate completely. He felt that something was amiss; the danger he detected hadn’t disappeared. Instead, it grew more intense. Sure enough, after a muffled roar echoed out, the body of the Ancient Dragon Soul, which should shortly dissipate, quickly took form again. It was much smaller than before, but the wave of pressure and murderous aura emanating from it were even more terrifying.
“Who is it? Who has awakened the great Desmond?” The Ancient Dragon Soul’s voice was low and strong. It reverberated like thunder in everybody’s mind. It swept everybody with its gaze before it looked at the Black-Horned Demon, who held the Shadowless Whip. “A pure Abyssal Demon Body and a strong Devil God’s power! I didn’t expect that I would come across a high-level Abyssal Demon here. Come over and offer your fresh blood, as well as your soul, to the great Desmond.”
Buzz!
As the Ancient Dragon Soul spoke, it flapped its transparent wings. It emitted a beam of ice-cold silver light and fired it at the Black-Horned Demon’s forehead. The light beam was very swift, and it flew into the distance. When some of the silver light seeped into the body of the Black-Horned Demon, she involuntarily clutched her head and let out a miserable cry.
“It’s awful!”
Yang Ling quickly detected that the cold energy had seeped into the Black-horned Demon’s body through the Soul Imprint in the depths of her soul. This energy attacked her soul like a thousand blades, even beginning to devour her Soul Energy. He was alarmed by this, and he teleported next to the Black-Horned Demon. He wove Wizard Seals with his hand and routed the cold energy that had invaded her body. Then, he pulled the Battle Soul Blade from his back and rushed toward the Ancient Dragon Soul.
“Soul Explosion!”
Yang Ling wove Wizard Seals and released a soul attack before he reached his target. A tooth for a tooth, and blood must be paid in blood. He cast a soul attack directly on the target. Somehow, his sharp attack didn’t affect the enemy at all. It seemed like the Soul Explosion couldn’t inflict any harm on the Ancient Dragon Soul.
“Oh! What a pure Soul Energy! It’s good that you have come here.”
When the Ancient Dragon Soul, which called itself Desmond, detected Yang Ling’s intense Soul Energy, its spirits rose, and it didn’t bother anymore with hunting down the Black-horned Demon, who had a splitting headache. It pounced at Yang Ling, who held the Battle Soul Blade. It flapped its large wings hard and released a large amount of terrifying silver light. The silver light’s power was much, much higher than before, and it attempted to instantly devour Yang Ling’s Soul Energy.
Buzz!
Yang Ling had laid some soul defenses long ago, but he still shivered upon suffering this attack. In an instant, the cold energy that flowed into his body formed a raging river, almost breaking his soul defenses in one go.
“Soul Dissolving Spell, die!” Yang Ling was startled and angered. He didn’t retreat. Instead, he gnashed his teeth and advanced to hack the head of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, with his blade. He chopped its head into two pieces. The sharp Battle Soul Blade couldn’t pose any deadly threat to the immortal Ancient Dragon Soul, but the scarlet light ray around the Battle Soul Blade was different. It caught the Ancient Dragon Soul off-guard and attacked its soul. This soul attack’s power greatly surpassed the Soul Explosion Wizard Spell.
“Aah! Damned lad! I will kill you.”
Sure enough, the Ancient Dragon Soul, which had been cut in two, quickly took back its original form. However, its body’s shaping speed was five times slower than before. If it hadn’t had an unstable form and high speed, it would have been defeated by Yang Ling’s blade strike. It seemed like it suffered greatly from the scarlet ray’s destructive power.
The angry Ancient Dragon Soul roared loudly and pounced swiftly at Yang Ling. However, when it was about to flap its wings and launch another round of attacks, a large hand stretched suddenly out of the void and tore apart its wings. Then, its head was smashed by a fist, and its transparent body was destroyed again.
The Grand Wizard, Houtu, who had been holding the lines, attacked suddenly and silently.
One punch, two punches…
The Grand Wizard Houtu used his great brute power and high speed to launch ferocious attacks. Each time the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, reformed its body, it would be smashed again. In addition, its soul attacks, which even Yang Ling couldn’t take head-on, were useless against Houtu. The soul attacks couldn’t even enter Houtu’s body, let alone smash his soul.
The Grand Wizard Houtu wasn’t adept at soul attacks, but his body’s power was beyond anybody’s expectations. It couldn’t be penetrated by any weapons; even the Ancient Dragon Soul’s soul attacks couldn’t penetrate it. He had practiced the Body Honing Wizard Mantra to the highest level, and even though he wasn’t immune to physical and magical attacks like the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he could still depend upon his powerful body.
“Damn it, where did those monsters come from?”
The Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, was pestered by the Grand Wizard Houtu, and its body was smashed repeatedly. It was startled, infuriated, and so frustrated that it almost vomited blood. Over the years, many peerless powerhouses had intruded into the Poison Dragon Valley. But none was as thorny and hateful as Houtu. It couldn’t kill him, yet it also couldn’t throw him off. It couldn’t use its large amount of Soul Energy.
“Corpse Explosion, explode for me. Explode, explode!”
“Moon Blade Surprise Attack!”
…
The Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, and the others, who weren’t threatened by the Ancient Dragon Soul any longer, quickly formed the Demon God Battle Formation and tried to push out of the encirclement. They had managed to kill many poison dragons, one after another. They didn’t have very many people, but once they formed the Demon God Battle Formation, their offensive power greatly surpassed the ordinary poison dragons. In addition, after the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the Black-Horned Demon joined them, they became invincible. The strong Poison Dragon King also had a Wandering Divine Beast’s power; it wasn’t any weaker than the Golden Roc or the Mother Empress. But it was facing three great Wandering Experts’ joint attacks, and it wasn’t a match for them, despite its great power. It was quickly soaked in blood. It was dying.
“Avoid their vital regions. Don’t kill all of them.” After Yang Ling discerned that the Grand Wizard Houtu wasn’t in danger for now, he joined the ranks of people attacking the poison dragons. He spoke as he tamed the heavily wounded Poison Dragon King with his blood. He moved freely on the battlefield with the Five Elements Evasion Spells, and he tamed many wounded God-level poison dragons.
The poison dragons that had a large malignant tumor atop their heads were very ugly, but their offensive power was greater than Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons at the same level. Just their Draconic Breath with its sulfuric odor possessed a strong corrosive power, and it could deal great damage in large-scale battles.
“Ah! Who are you?”
When the Ancient Dragon Soul saw the poison dragons that it had protected for so many years being either tamed or slaughtered, it flew into a rage and roared loudly. It recklessly attacked the Grand Wizard Houtu, who pursued it. Unfortunately, it couldn’t throw Houtu off despite its high speed, nor could it inflict heavy injuries upon Houtu’s abnormally strong body, despite using every trick up its sleeve. It was very frustrated, and it almost went crazy.
After Yang Ling had tamed a large number of poison dragons, he got control over the situation. He looked at the unkillable Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, who roared loudly, and he suddenly got an idea. He recalled the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell within the sixth floor of the Wizard Pagoda. “An immortal Dragon Soul…can I cast the Soul Assimilating Wizard Spell and take this creature into the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell within the sixth floor of the Wizard Pagoda? Later, I will just have to come up with a way to deal with it slowly…can’t I do that?”
