Chapter 909 - 895: The Terrifying Battle of the Soul Artifact
"Be careful, retreat, it’s a Soul Artifact, a Soul Artifact!" cried Jian Qianxiong urgently, his voice transforming into a scream.
With a sinister grin, Yan Wuji’s eyes narrowed, and the Yama Pen, a Low Grade Soul Artifact he rarely used, transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight towards Ye Zhen!
Where the black light passed, even the air rippled. In the mere instant of the glow’s appearance, the forms of the two Supreme Elders, Nian Sijing and Cai Xingchang, protecting Ye Zhen on either side, uncontrollably retreated.
As for Ye Zhen, who was locked onto by Yan Wuji’s Yama Pen, he felt his heart suddenly contract, as if all the blood in his body had frozen at that moment.
Ye Zhen’s pupils shrank to the extreme, and his Divine Sense swiftly settled on the Wind-swallowing Beast he’d recently activated at his chest. Simultaneously, another Divine Sense silently opened the entrance of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Originally, the Red Moon Guardian on the Red Moon Soul Ring should have been the most reliable, but unfortunately, it had been exhausted in the battle with the Monster Serpent Man earlier, and it would take at least eight more days to reactivate.
Thus, he could only resort to second-best options.
However, Ye Zhen wasn’t overly confident that the Wind-swallowing Beast could swallow the attack from this Soul Artifact.
Because the Wind-swallowing Beast, an Exotic Beast, also varies in strength.
The three Wind-swallowing Beasts delivered by Yangh Yiguan to Ye Zhen were merely three to four months old hatchlings. Even with the Secret Techniques of the Beast Taming Sect, they had only just passed the juvenile phase and entered the maturity phase.
To reach the level of swallowing a full-powered strike from a Dao Realm expert in one gulp, it must be a Wind-swallowing Beast that has reached maturity.
Under typical circumstances, a Wind-swallowing Beast needs time to transition from maturity to the adulthood phase, which varies depending on the growth environment but requires at least ten years, sometimes twenty years or more.
