Chapter 294: Soul Confrontation
Translator: wuxia dream Editor: wuxia dream
In the middle of the firm, rough and long icy bones, which were like sharp swords, splendid lights were radiating. The Sky and Earth aura were as dense as gurgling streams. The icy bones were emitting peculiar halos which could blind people’s eyes and daze people’s minds.
This was the dragon’s body of the Icy Crystal Bone Dragon.
The Icy Crystal Bone Dragon’s body was one hundred meters tall and ten meters wide. The insides of the body were empty had no skin nor flesh left except for this enormous skeleton.
At this moment, Shi Yan was standing inside this huge skeleton of the Icy Crystal Bone Dragon.
Surrounding him were shiny solid bones like sparkling crystals. It was as if he was in a room which was made of coarse long bones. Lava rocks enshrouded the outsides of this bone room.
The gurgling Sky and Earth aura flowed out from the icy bones. Staying inside this skeleton, Shi Yan didn’t need to waste his strength to condense the Profound Qi. Instead, he could feel the aura which was like cool and fresh morning dew absorbing into his belly through his breath. The aura was then taken completely in before slowly pouring into the Profound Qi halo on his belly.
That was the first time Shi Yan saw such dense Sky and Earth aura. Even inside the caves on the God Mountain in the Immortal Island of the Yang family, the aura was much less than the one here.
It seemed like he was being immersed in the ocean of spiritual aura. His pores kept absorbing the Sky and Earth aura of this place, which made his body very comfortable. He felt that he could forever immerse himself in this place and didn’t want to leave anymore.
“Be careful. That fellow is in the head of this dragon skeleton.” The Ice Cold Flame inside the Blood Vein Ring sent out a message.
Shi Yan nodded quietly. He didn’t hurry to release his soul consciousness; instead, he calmly observed everywhere for a while before raising his head looking up. From inside of the glittering white skeleton, he could only see thick icy lava layers, on which there were full of cold white frost and tremendous icy aura. An ordinary person could have been frozen if he had touched these frost layers.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the icy lava, he knew that it was not easy to get out of here.
“No need to be too worried,” the Ice Cold Flame continued to send out another message after a while, “The burning fires of the Ten Thousand Year Earth Flame could melt down the entire icy lava around here. Even though that fellow knows how to use the icy aura, it won’t be able to do anything under the heat of the Ten Thousand Year Earth Flame. Together with my help, your body can adapt to the penetrating icy aura. You just need to pay attention to its soul attacks.”
“Yeah.” Shi Yan nodded, dragged a cold half-smile out of his lips and replied, “The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame inside the Blood Vein Ring was originally a soul without an entity. If this fellow can sense the aura of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, it could be more frightened than I was.”
“The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame is its nemesis indeed.” the Ice Cold Flame agreed with what Shi Yan said. “But, are you able to control the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame?”
“No, I am not.” Shi Yan nodded. “It was strictly confined by the Blood Vein Ring. I can’t communicate with it nor check its current status. However, the aura of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame is very special. Perhaps if that fellow penetrates, it will possibly sense it more or less.”
The Ice Cold Flame mused for a while before speaking, “Still have to be careful.”
Shi Yan smiled but didn’t reply. He immediately walked towards the dragon head.
An oval-shaped crystal, as big as a table, was floating around inside the skull. That crystal emitted cold icy white aura like a jade block. A peculiar liquid was moving and gently swaying inside the crystal like a human brain. That liquid projected a tremendous living vibration.
Shi Yan started to condense his forces seriously. He was quietly taking precautions, moving step by step to the dragon head in which that crystal was floating around.
From ten meters far away, looking at the motionless floating dragon crystal and the lurching liquid like a human brain, he coldly spoke up after contemplating for a while, “What do you want to do?”
That liquid which looked like a human brain boiled up all of a sudden; many snow-white bubbles came up. Those bubbles then exploded inside the Dragon Crystal, discharging faint white smokes which flew out of the Dragon Crystal and quickly dispersed everywhere.
At the same time, a weird sound came out from the Dragon Crystal, “I want your body. If you give me your body, together with another body to exchange, I can help you enhance your soul, make your host soul’s forces stronger. I will also find another consigning body for you, and you can stay at my place to cultivate in condensing auras which will help quickly increase your cultivation speed.”
Shi Yan was amazed.
He didn’t expect that this Holy Spirit God of the Holy Spirit Sect would proactively propose such strange suggestions like this instead of hastily using its powerful soul forces to occupy his body right away without saying a word.
That was out of Shi Yan’s expectations.
“Sorry, I don’t agree with this deal.” Shi Yan shook his head. He said when he was facing the Dragon Crystal, “I am satisfied with this body and don’t want to change to another one. Moreover, if I want to promote my soul, I will devotedly cultivate step by step. I don’t need your help.”
It was ridiculous. His body possessed not only the Immortal Martial Spirit but also the Petrification Martial Spirit. His heart could absorb star spirits. The meridians of his entire body could ingest negative forces and condense them as well. There were many other marvelous secrets in his body.
This entire body was a treasure. It was some sort of his protective charm that he relied on to survive. Sacrificing this body to promote the soul was not something a person with an undamaged brain would agree.
Shi Yan refused determinedly.
“You don’t agree?” The speed of the advancing bubbles was getting faster and faster inside the Dragon Crystal. “I have given you a chance. If you decline, I will then forcefully seize what I want, which can make your soul and spirit perish. You should not force me to act that heartlessly.”
“You can also go easy on me graciously?” Shi Yan burst into laughter, shook his head and said, “If you have the guts, come and take it. I want to see if you have this ability.”
Just right after finishing speaking, Shi Yan’s face became frigid without waiting for the Holy Spirit God in the Dragon Crystal to have any actions.
Boom!
Shi Yan’s palms launch a bunch of fiery Heaven flames which then turned into a flock of burning fires with their scorching heat power, instantly dashing towards the Dragon Crystal.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
A cluster of Heaven flames engulfed the Dragon Crystal which then transmitted a strange sound all of a sudden while a lot of white frost spread out from the inside of it. Two flows of extreme cold and extreme hot forces were fighting with each other, and the temperature inside the dragon skeleton kept changing constantly.
“Heaven flames!” The Holy Spirit God inside the Dragon Crystal suddenly screamed out. As it obviously didn’t expect that Shi Yan would have that move, it couldn’t help but launch a part of its spirit power to prevent the Ten Thousand Year Earth Flame from penetrating the Dragon Crystal.
The Icy Crystal Bone Dragon was the beast with the powerful icy trait and a bone-chilling icy skeleton. Inside the Icy Crystal Bone Dragon, the freezingly coldest one was the Dragon Crystal. The Dragon Crystal of the Icy Crystal Bone Dragon was frigidly icy and very solid, could be considered one of a few of the most unusual icy creatures in the world.
Burning fires of the Ten Thousand Year Earth Flame covering the Dragon Crystal couldn’t immediately burn it into ashes. Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit God continually gathered the icy auras to prevent the invasion of the Ten Thousand Year Earth Flame from destroying its extreme heating power, and thus the Thousand Year Earth Flame couldn’t severely harm the Dragon Crystal.
“As you have taken actions first, I won’t continue putting up with you.” The Holy Spirit God transmitted a cold-hearted sound from inside the Dragon Crystal. A violent and horrendous soul flow like a massive surging wave suddenly stormed straight towards Shi Yan. That was the bone-chilling, nebulous soul attack.
Shi Yan was standing there, watching the massive volume of snow and ice all converge, interlace and collide with each other, and shoot out icy power which could tightly tie up all the souls. These two forces intertwined with each other covering the entire Sky and Earth, dashing straight to his Sea of Consciousness as if they wanted to crush his Sea of Consciousness at once.
That was the fatal attack whose target was his Sea of Consciousness and host soul.
The soul attack massively darted, wrapping everything up without allowing him to avoid. He instantly felt that his Sea of Consciousness seemed to have been locked up.
“Five Devils attack!”
The five Devils in the Sea of Consciousness had soon stirred up, instantly flew out of the Sea of Consciousness, altogether plunging into the violent soul flow that was advancing.
Although the five negative Devils had different forms, they were all eccentric with full of brutal and terrifying auras. As soon as they entered the strong soul flow that had been launched by the Holy Spirit God, they immediately showed their claws and fangs, impetuously tore that soul flow into broken pieces of the soul floating and drifting around.
“Devils!” The Holy Spirit God cried. He was inside the Dragon Crystal showing the extreme fear; he then quickly condensed a new soul attack flow.
Shi Yan’s soul consciousness could realize those broken pieces of soul that had been torn down by the five Devils instantly condensed and turned into many beams of frigid, icy light. Those icy lights rapidly extended and were on their way dashing towards Shi Yan; they gradually turned into small transparent Icy Crystal Bone Dragons.
Each of the small Icy Crystal Bone Dragons was only one meter long and splendidly translucent. Its body was full of icy aura, lively and flexible. A bunch of them all opened their dragon mouths, from which icy aura kept circulating in and out.
Dozens of the small Icy Crystal Bone Dragons, which had been formed by broken pieces of the soul assembling, had passed the five Devils’ blockage and attacked Shi Yan directly.
“Hmm” Shi Yan’s face remained unchanged while his Sea of Consciousness slightly transformed.
Countless soul consciousness suddenly emerged in his formerly restful Sea of Consciousness. Strong winds and high waves surged up there. Meanwhile, his host soul kept growing, turning into huge Devil Gods who were as big as high mountains.
The host soul was firmly pulling out the negative feelings which the five Devils had left in the Sea of Consciousness and then transformed them into black shining luminous ropes wrapping around those Icy Crystal Bone Dragons.
The host soul inside the Sea of Consciousness also changed according to the transformations of the Sea of Consciousness. The host soul was moving everywhere uncertainly. After several movements, it left many illusionary figures that attracted the Icy Crystal Bone Dragons which had been created by the Holy Spirit God.
After having waited until those Icy Crystal Bone Dragon came close, the host souls’ hands then swung up. The black shining ropes, which had been condensed by negative feelings inside the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly shot out and accurately tied up those Icy Crystal Bone Dragons. The Icy Crystal Bone Dragons were strangled so tightly that they couldn’t even wriggle and impossibly entered Shi Yan’s Sea of Consciousness, let alone catch his host soul.
“It’s impossible! Your understanding of the Upanishads cannot be that profound.” The Holy Spirit God inside the Dragon Crystal screamed out. It didn’t know how come that marvelous attack, which it had thoroughly thought and planned, was easily dissolved by Shi Yan.
“There are still many of impossible things.” Shi Yan revealed a faint smile. His Sea of Consciousness transformed again. The black shining ropes that were wrapping around the Icy Crystal Bone Dragons, pulling each of them and binding them altogether.
At the same time, the five Devils that had gotten out of the Sea of Consciousness were now returning eagerly, showing their claws and fangs as though they wanted to swallow up all of those Icy Crystal Bone Dragons that had the spiritual aura of the Holy Spirit God.
“Don’t!” The Holy Spirit God shouted loudly again.
