Chapter 1665 - 1662: Wrath of the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast
Seeing Lu Jianxing mention his own spirit pet, Yang Fei’s expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Don’t."
His expression suddenly turned so tense that Lu Guangyuan and his grandson Lu Jianxing both couldn’t help but laugh.
Cultivation is dull and suffocating, so people look for Dao companions to cultivate together; but besides Dao companions, a cultivator will also raise his own spirit pet—first to satisfy that "raising and nurturing" sense of achievement, and second to ease the loneliness of bitter cultivation while feeding the spirit pet.
So to every cultivator, spirit pets are extremely important partners. To exaggerate a bit, a spirit pet to its master is even more important than children are to parents in the mortal world.
Right now Lu Jianxing wanted to use Yang Fei’s spirit pet to demonstrate the power of the Blackwater Serpents to him; Yang Fei was this nervous, and that was all within the expectations of the grandfather and grandson.
Ignoring Yang Fei’s attempt to stop him, Lu Jianxing had already grabbed that storage bag.
"Heh, it’s actually a High rank Spirit Pet Bag. I want to see what kind of demon beast you’ve raised as a spirit pet." Lu Jianxing snorted lightly.
Yang Fei panicked.
There was a Heaven-devouring Divine Beast sleeping inside this thing.
To the current Cultivation World, a Heaven-devouring Divine Beast is an existence that vanished long ago back in the Ancient era, a Demon Ancestor Level being. Once they discovered it, wouldn’t they try to snatch it away?
Although the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast had already acknowledged him as its master and had grown quite powerful now, wanting it to deal with someone like Lu Guangyuan, an Early stage Divinity Transformation expert, was simply impossible.
It would even struggle to deal with Lu Jianxing.
So once the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was let out, the outcome was obvious.
Yang Fei’s heart was tight to the extreme.
He was already planning to take the risk of communicating with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to tunnel away and give it a try.
However, his Sea of Consciousness Space had just been assaulted by Lu Guangyuan’s Divine Sense, and Lu Guangyuan was so close, staring right at him—his chances of escaping were probably very low.
Besides, the storage bag was already taken out, and the Spirit Pet Bag was in Lu Jianxing’s hand. Even if he could escape right now, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast wouldn’t be able to.
For a moment, Yang Fei was burning with anxiety.
And while he hesitated for that brief instant, Lu Jianxing had already used his powerful Realm methods to directly break the restriction on Yang Fei’s Spirit Pet Bag and opened it.
Yang Fei’s heart sank to rock bottom in despair.
Even if he later found a chance to escape back to Earth, this Heaven-devouring Divine Beast would probably be gone for good.
Fuck!
His heart was bleeding.
"Eh?"
Lu Guangyuan suddenly let out a soft exclamation, his gaze landing on the Spirit Pet Bag in Lu Jianxing’s hand.
Lu Jianxing’s face showed a hint of puzzlement; he widened his eyes, staring at the opening of the Spirit Pet Bag, and sent his Divine Sense in, wanting to see what spirit pet it actually was.
He failed to notice that in the eyes of that small Blackwater Serpents, those tiny black pupils suddenly flashed with terror. Its entire small serpentine body curled up, trembling, and kept retreating backward.
"Be careful."
Lu Guangyuan suddenly spoke out a warning.
Lu Jianxing’s heart jolted; he looked at Lu Guangyuan in confusion.
Lu Guangyuan’s eyes were locked tightly on the opening of that Spirit Pet Bag, but his mouth addressed Yang Fei: "Kid, what kind of spirit pet breed is inside?"
Yang Fei was just about to speak when his expression changed.
He heard an irritated roar coming from inside the Spirit Pet Bag, like a child whose good sleep had been disturbed and was having a huge bout of getting up on the wrong side of the bed.
With that roar, Lu Jianxing’s expression changed drastically; he too felt a strange fear coming from deep in his soul, and he quickly retreated.
Lu Guangyuan burst forth with a powerful aura, his gaze locked deathly onto that Spirit Pet Bag.
Suddenly, a huge gray-white demon beast appeared before their eyes.
This demon beast was bear-like yet not a bear, its form bizarre, its entire body emanating a Desolate Ancient aura that made one’s heart palpitate.
Don’t mention Lu Jianxing—even Lu Guangyuan at this moment only felt his hair stand on end.
"Mang!"
A low growl shook the sky.
Lu Guangyuan and Lu Jianxing both quickly retreated, flying out of the Spirit Ship.
That small Blackwater Serpents, however, didn’t follow its master. Instead, as if it had encountered a powerful nemesis that suppressed its bloodline genes, it lay on the ground, shivering.
As Lu Guangyuan fled the ship suppressed by the innate Desolate Ancient might on the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, a sharp light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes.
The chance had come.
His Divine Sense rapidly transmitted to the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, ordering it to burrow back into the Spirit Pet Bag; at the same time, his Divine Sense instantly wrapped around the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.
"Mang!"
The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast had been forcibly awakened from its sleep and was in a foul mood. Hearing Yang Fei’s order, it let out a disgruntled roar, as if scolding its own master: since you’re making me hide back in there, why did you disturb my sleep in the first place?
It did not immediately return to the Spirit Pet Bag. After letting out that roar that shook the void, it suddenly turned its head and opened its bloody maw toward the small Blackwater Serpents that was crouched on the ground trembling.
Whoosh!
The baby Blackwater Serpents—one of the Ancient Ten Great Demon Beasts that Lu Jianxing was so proud of—was swallowed in one gulp by the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast and vanished.
It didn’t even resist in the slightest.
"Bastard!"
At first, Lu Jianxing had been frightened by the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s massive body and presence and fled the Spirit Ship, but now, seeing his Blackwater Serpents actually swallowed whole by Yang Fei’s spirit pet, he was instantly enraged. Raising his Magic Sword, he wanted to hack the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast to death.
He felt that as long as he gutted the beast in time, his Blackwater Serpents would be fine.
"Stand down!"
Lu Guangyuan barked, and powerful Domain Law instantly covered everything.
Yang Fei’s expression changed drastically.
Just now when Lu Guangyuan left the Spirit Ship, that had been the best chance to escape, but he couldn’t bear to abandon the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast; he wanted to escape together with it.
Now that the other party had instantly cast Domain Law and shrouded the entire Spirit Ship again, Yang Fei knew that this chance was already gone.
Fuck!
He cursed inwardly, but didn’t dare act rashly.
Although when Lu Guangyuan had just cast the Domain Law he’d still been confident he could escape, doing that would mean leaving the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast behind.
However, his inner regret quickly faded.
Because besides being unable to take the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast, Lu Guangyuan had also taken away the Soul Binding Rope just now.
If the Soul Binding Rope were only a powerful Magic Treasure, even if Yang Fei temporarily lost it, he would feel heartache but, compared to his own life and freedom, he could only grit his teeth and give it up.
But the Soul Binding Rope wasn’t just some awesome Magic Treasure; it also contained Li Xuanyu’s remaining soul. If he lost the Soul Binding Rope, Li Xuanyu’s remnant soul would likely disperse and be annihilated.
So even if there was a chance to escape, Yang Fei forced himself to endure.
Wait a little longer. He believed this Lu Family grandfather and grandson wouldn’t kill him. As long as he stayed alive, there would be a chance to escape together with the Soul Binding Rope and the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.
Lu Jianxing was blocked outside the Domain Rules by Lu Guangyuan, his face full of terror and worry. Looking at the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast’s huge mouth, his heart was bleeding: "Black Dragon..."
Black Dragon was precisely the name he’d given that Blackwater Serpents.
On the Spirit Ship, Yang Fei was instantly bound by an invisible Space Law and couldn’t move.
He had already been suppressed by the Demon Suppressing Talisman and couldn’t circulate his Mana. Now, suppressed by Lu Guangyuan’s Domain Law, he naturally couldn’t move even more; even his Divine Sense was sealed.
"Mang!"
An enraged roar.
The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast sensed this invisible and powerful pressure and let out a bestial howl, rearing up on its hind legs and struggling madly.
In an instant, the void shook; the deck of the Spirit Ship beneath its feet was stomped into a large crater, and the entire ship rocked violently.
Yang Fei keenly noticed that cracks and looseness seemed to appear in this Domain Space.
As the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast continued to struggle, the Rules within this Domain Space fluctuated violently. Although they did not collapse and fail, they no longer achieved that invincible effect of completely shackling and suppressing everything within the Domain Rules.
