Chapter 768: Beast Spirit Orb
The Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's head finally appeared. Like a giant bee, its two large black eyes stared straight at Xia Fei.
Xia Fei had never seen such a cold and sinister gaze before. Its mountainous head had eyes that took up ninety percent of its surface, and it did not even have teeth or a nose!
Aside from the two very uncoordinated eyes, the most eye-catching thing was a translucent orb embedded in the center of its two eyes, like a gem brimming with temptation.
"Xia Fei! You must obtain that orb! So this monster is a Divine Beast! A complete Divine Beast! As long as you obtain that orb, it'll greatly benefit your cultivation! "Oro anxiously said.
Xia Fei was startled, but he did not foolishly charge forward as Oro had instructed. Instead, he used his agility and speed to hide in the darkness, searching for a suitable opportunity.
The Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale's head appeared for the first time, and those soul-stirring eyes immediately alerted Xia Fei. Recklessness was the greatest enemy of all warriors, and before Xia Fei had a clear understanding of this monster's abilities, he would not act rashly.
"Is that orb very important?" Xia Fei asked in confusion as he moved at high speed. He had just absorbed a Law Overlord expert, and if not for Oro's sharp urging, Xia Fei might have let this Divine Beast go and found a quiet place to digest the multicolored energy orb in his brain.
"It's not important! It's very important! " The old demon lord anxiously said, "Just like how Furball needs to undergo nine metamorphoses before he can truly grow, all Divine Beasts and Holy Beasts also need a long evolutionary process. Once they succeed in their evolution, a bead with its own unique attribute will form in the head of a Divine Beast, called the Beast Spirit Bead!"
"Beast Spirit Orb! What a domineering name! "Xia Fei muttered to himself, his eyes involuntarily drawn to that dazzling orb.
"Haha! You've really picked up a treasure this time! The Beast Spirit Heavenly Jewel will form the moment a Divine Beast reaches its complete form. At first, it'll only be the size of a sesame seed, and it won't have any special functions. As time passes, the Heavenly Jewel will grow larger and larger, and it will possess the same characteristics as a Divine Beast. Take Furball as an example. Once Furball fully evolves, it will obtain a Heavenly Jewel that symbolizes endless energy, because the Holy Beast Shatterstar is an energy-type Holy Beast. "
"And this divine beast's attribute should be sturdy. Look at how big and shiny the bead on its head is. I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed. If you take its Heavenly Jewel for yourself, it is very likely that your body's toughness will greatly increase! You are a speed-type warrior, so you need a strong body to support you! That's why I said you have to get this Beast Spirit Heavenly Pearl. It's really helpful to you! "
Xia Fei nodded. It was clear that the Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale possessed an extremely powerful defense. More than a hundred demon warriors attacking him together had not injured him in the slightest, which was enough to prove just how tough his body was.
"If you use that strange law energy of yours, you'll definitely be able to destroy him!" the old demon lord excitedly said.
Xia Fei was expressionless. This Beast Spirit Heavenly Pearl was so powerful that, based on the price Xia Fei had to pay for his stubbornness, even if he had to fight to the death with the Divine Beast, it would be worth it!
With this thought, Xia Fei no longer hesitated. With a light tap of his foot, he charged forward at a super speed of 120,000 meters per second!
"A long underground river gushed past, and the white mist churned. It was like a mystical paradise.
Xia Fei did not have the time to experience the mysterious environment around him. After absorbing too much energy, he urgently needed to vent it, or else his body might explode and he would die!
Ever since he obtained the ability to absorb energy, Xia Fei's path of advancement had become faster and faster. The problem he faced now was how to store the energy he absorbed. His narrow seventh brain region could not hold too much energy, so he needed to absorb and refine it all the time.
* Pa ~ *
Xia Fei pried the Beast Spirit Heavenly Pearl from the Divine Beast's head and stored it in his spatial ring. He looked around. As the successor of the Assassin clan, Xia Fei was very experienced in finding the most suitable hiding spot in an unfamiliar illusion. He chose a place that was not the most secluded but extremely complicated.
Under the cover of the countless strange rocks around him, Xia Fei was like a ghost hiding among the rubble. Using Breath Control, he became one with the environment. It could be said that Xia Fei was now the rocks, the air, and the most natural part of the environment.
His body became one with nature, but the energy fluctuations in his brain region showed no signs of stopping. The complete form of a Law Overlord expert and a Divine Beast contained an enormous amount of energy. Even if Xia Fei only took thirty percent and the remaining seventy percent went to the Blood Crystal, it was still an unimaginable amount of energy.
Focus!
Calm!
Refresh!
Control!
Every step was very natural, and as he refined the external energy, Xia Fei's innate control over energy was on full display.
The worst thing to do when absorbing energy was to panic. He had to follow a set procedure, and the slightest mistake would result in unimaginable consequences!
"Haaa!"
The old demon lord sighed. Every time he saw Xia Fei leisurely combing through the sea of external energy, he would always feel a little depressed. Warriors were a class built on the foundation of energy, and Xia Fei's control over energy had unquestionably reached a level that made others envious and jealous.
Silence.
As if separated from spacetime, the depths of the earth's core where Xia Fei resided was so calm that it was unnerving.
* Bang! *
Light burst forth, and the energy body seemed to shine with Buddhist light, filling the darkness for a moment, but Xia Fei quickly pulled it back.
'Law Emperor level 2, continue!' Xia Fei mentally said.
Through the rapid promotion passage, Xia Fei was only one step away from advancing. Thus, when he focused on cultivation, he very quickly broke through to Law Emperor level 2.
At this level of cultivation, every step forward was very difficult. Xia Fei did not move, continuing to focus. For there was still a lot of energy left in his brain region, and Law Emperor level 2 was not the end.
…
* Bang! *
With another series of halos, Xia Fei broke through two levels and reached Law Emperor level 3!
That multicolored energy ball in his seventh brain region had already shrunk and dimmed.
Though he had absorbed the energy of a Law Overlord and a Divine Beast, seventy percent of it had been taken by the Blood Crystal, leaving Xia Fei with only thirty percent. There were still losses, and there was also waste when cultivating, so the remaining energy was not enough for Xia Fei to break through to level 4.
Only thirty-six hours had passed. To be able to advance two levels in such a short time was a speed that could only be described as leaps and bounds.
"You're probably the only person in the world who can advance by devouring others," Oro muttered to himself as he shook his head.
Xia Fei let out a long sigh, relaxed his body, and looked around.
"What's wrong with that? Every bit of effort is worth the reward. Though I've relied on devouring others to advance, I've also risked my life for this energy, "Xia Fei said with a shrug.
With a flip of his hand, Xia Fei took out two spatial rings. One of them belonged to Law Overlord Szezny, while the other still had half a finger attached to it. It should have belonged to that expert who had already died, the master of the Divine Beast Reverse-Halberd Blackscale. As for how high his rank was, it was not just Xia Fei; even the old demon lord Oro could not guess.
The only thing they knew was that he had died from the backlash of the Law of Time, and this ring very likely contained the power of the God race's first Law, the Law of Time!
Resisting the urge to immediately open the ring and take a look, Xia Fei first sent his consciousness into Szezny's ring. As a Law Overlord of the Profound Pearl Race, this scoundrel had no shortage of high-grade goods. Just the precious grade 5 Origin Crystals alone numbered more than eight hundred. Though the rest were exquisite, there was nothing that could make Xia Fei's eyes light up, so Xia Fei could not be bothered to go through them one by one.
Smiling, Xia Fei pulled out that half a finger and sent his consciousness into that ancient, pitch-black spatial ring.
At this moment, a female voice softly hummed from the depths of the earth's core. The tune was very strange and very familiar.
'Someone's here?' Xia Fei was startled as he mentally muttered to himself.
