Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 316: Chapter 233: Terrifying Destructive Power, Star Flash Burst

"Lingling~"

Yin Yi looked at Egg Pancake crouching not far away, and a flash of lightning sparked around her body.

The next moment, Egg Pancake suddenly felt all its scales stand on end as a current of electricity passed through its body.

"Scree!"

It shrieked and shot two meters into the air, then looked down.

A petite Wood Demon, shimmering with lightning, was quietly floating by its belly.

’Tsk... Such incredible speed. It’s comparable to Fei Lin’s Instant Teleportation back then.’

Yin Yi was a turret-type Soul Beast; speed was not her strong suit.

Besides this godlike speed, which was like Instant Teleportation, Yin Yi could also wield lightning to fire bolts of thunder.

But as for the power... it was mediocre at best, and couldn’t compare to the might of her own Soul Techniques.

Moreover, the Demon Spirit possession only lasted for ten seconds before the Thundering Falcon was knocked out of Yin Yi’s body, tumbling dizzily in midair for a few rotations.

"Whoo~"

Afterward, the Thunder Falcon waved a wing at Yin Yi, then turned, dove into a newly appeared rift, and vanished.

"Lingling~ Lingling!"

Yin Yi flew back to Han Ning’s shoulder, happily chittering to him about the joy of making a new friend.

’This Soul Technique... its utility is greater than its destructive power. If Yin Yi befriends some Demon Spirits with rare Attributes like Space in the future, it might grant her even more wondrous abilities...’

Based on Han Ning’s observations, the Thunder Falcon’s strength likely hadn’t reached the Lord Level. It was at most War General Level, or perhaps even just Extraordinary Level. He wasn’t sure if this was due to the Skill Level of the Demon Spirit possession technique or simply Yin Yi’s luck.

’...Let’s try her other Soul Technique.’

Han Ning’s gaze shifted to Qingyao, who was off to the side. He smiled and said, "Elder Qingyao... if you would be so kind..."

Having been through the experience of helping Egg Pancake test its moves last time, the intelligent Qingyao knew exactly what Han Ning meant. It was also very interested in the abilities Yin Yi had Awakened after her new evolution, so it nodded immediately.

They were deep within the Abyss, and there was no immediate danger. As long as they controlled the range of the Soul Techniques, the Five Ancestor Families on the surface shouldn’t find out.

Qingyao glanced around and thoughtfully flicked its chains, moving Ah Yu and the others farther away. Then, with a flash in its eyes, a cyan Barrier spanning several kilometers instantly materialized.

"Lingling~"

The fiery light in Yin Yi’s eyes flickered. The faint, bright Jade Disc above her head suddenly flared with brilliant light, enveloping her entire tree-like form.

Two seconds later, Yin Yi’s physical body vanished, replaced by a form made entirely of jade-white starlight.

Her body, wings, and head were all composed of shimmering starlight.

[Your Soul Beast is not a Pure Elemental Creature. Time remaining in Elementalization state: 19s]

[...18s]

WHOOSH~

Yin Yi spat out a burst of starlight, blasting a deep crater into the rocky floor before her.

"Ling!"

Yin Yi, her form shifting and unstable, let out a light, ethereal cry toward Qingyao, as if to warn it to be careful.

"*Clang*~" Qingyao beckoned with its dragon claw, signaling for Yin Yi to bring it on.

WHIRL~ WHOOSH~

The dust beneath Yin Yi shot outward relentlessly.

In an instant, her jade-white body transformed, glowing with four colors: red, yellow, blue, and cyan.

In the sky, the three Star Cores orbiting the Night Nether Tower glowed faintly, casting three beams of starlight that drilled into Yin Yi’s Elemental Body.

A terrifying pressure of Spiritual Energy instantly condensed within her Elemental Body.

"*Clang*..." A solemn expression appeared in Qingyao’s Dragon Eyes.

It hastily brandished its dragon claws, flinging out a dense web of cyan chains, attempting to envelop Yin Yi just as it had with Egg Pancake last time.

However... a Soul Beast that had entered Elementalization could unleash its Soul Techniques far faster than it had imagined.

The chains had just formed when Yin Yi’s body suddenly erupted with a resplendent, blindingly brilliant light.

Even Han Ning instinctively shut his eyes.

The dazzling starlight illuminated most of Night Nether City as if it were broad daylight.

In the next instant, Qingyao’s pained grunt echoed through the air, followed by a series of deafening impacts.

When the brightness began to rapidly fade, Han Ning sensed the dimming light and quickly opened his eyes.

He saw that Yin Yi had already exited her Elementalization state. The ground before her was completely unscathed, but Qingyao was nowhere to be seen.

In the distance, towering spires had been blasted with gaping holes, and from an extremely far-off place, Qingyao’s low dragon cry could be heard.

The Barrier that spanned several kilometers now also sported a dragon-shaped hole.

On the gray-black rocky ground, drops of blood remained, pulsing with intense Spiritual Energy, still boiling violently and giving off wisps of white smoke.

"Elder Qingyao, are you all right?"

Han Ning glanced at the equally anxious Yin Yi, and together, they hopped onto Egg Pancake and flew toward the place where Qingyao had disappeared.

"*Clang*~"

Egg Pancake had only flown a little over a hundred meters when they saw Qingyao, its Dragon Scales cracked and oozing beads of blood, slowly flying toward them from out of the darkness.

Drop by drop, the bluish Dragon Blood fell from the sky, splashing onto the ground and corroding deep holes into the floor.

"A Soul Beast that can injure a Flood Dragon powerful enough to easily defeat a Gorging Worm... Lord Han Ning is truly formidable." Ah Yu’s eyes went wide, staring blankly at the constantly dripping Dragon Blood from Qingyao. Deep shock and fear flickered in their blood-red eyes.

’A Lord II Soul Technique’s destructive power can actually injure a Soul Beast at the Lord Limit? And Elder Qingyao is no ordinary Soul Beast...’ Han Ning’s face couldn’t help but show his shock as he saw Qingyao’s grievously wounded state.

"No... injuring it wasn’t entirely due to your Soul Beast... Didn’t you notice? When it used that Starlight Soul Technique, the three Star Cores in the sky provided it with abundant Energy. You could say that it was only with the blessing of the Star Cores that it could unleash such immense power."

Hom’s Spiritual Message came through. "However... even so, this special Soul Beast of yours is more than enough to be considered the best among Soul Beasts of the same level. I have never seen such a unique Soul Beast. Interesting..."

"Furthermore, its Soul Technique carries a very strong radiation. Even for a Flood Dragon that excels at sealing, this kind of radiation damage seems to be quite a headache."

"Ling!"

Yin Yi hadn’t expected her Soul Technique to be so destructive either. Qingyao was practically half a teacher to her, so upon seeing it injured, she quickly rushed forward. She extended a jade-white branch, wrapped it around its wounded abdomen, and began to Purify the injury.

Since Yin Yi was the one who had produced the strong radiation that permeated the dragon’s body, Purifying her own radiation was naturally no difficult task for her. Soon, with the radiation removed, Qingyao’s body began to rapidly heal, returning to normal.

"Elder Qingyao, I’m so sorry. Neither Yin Yi nor I expected this Soul Technique to be so powerful..."

Han Ning sincerely apologized to Qingyao. The fact that the three Star Cores would project power was something he had not anticipated at all.

One could imagine that in the future, if they were in a place with dense starlight or strong radiation, Yin Yi’s destructive power would be greatly amplified.

"*Clang*~"

The gentle-natured Qingyao gave a low cry and reached out a claw to pat Yin Yi’s cheek, its Dragon Eyes filled with utter amazement.

"Chirp~"

Sensing Yin Yi’s mood turn cheerful again, Egg Pancake nudged Sister Yin Yi onto its forehead and happily shook its head.

Although Yin Yi’s cries were ethereal and she usually appeared soft and delicate, even a fellow Soul Beast like Egg Pancake knew that she actually cared a great deal about her own strength. Seeing that even Soul Beasts who joined later were stronger than her, her spirits were usually not very high.

"Ling~"

"Yin Yi, let’s continue..."

Just as Han Ning was about to continue testing Yin Yi’s new abilities, his Spiritual Power suddenly stirred. He sensed several strange auras rapidly approaching.

Just then, a Spiritual Message also came from Hom: "It seems your test just now triggered a mechanism here and has attracted the attention of the Guardians slumbering in this place."

As the message was being transmitted, dark figures streaked across the sky, landing with a BOOM on the ground and atop the towers around them.

They fixed their cold, crimson gazes upon them.
