Chapter 525 – Vajra Baboon
Right at this moment, the Thorn Dragon’s thoughts appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s mind. “My lord, other than those who are truly unsuitable, your partners have all chosen their own partners. What do you think…”
Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance, “Why are they all staying far away from me? Am I a plague or what ?”
“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare.” The Thorn Dragon quickly said in fear, “Your status and bloodline are so noble, how could little beasts like us be qualified to be your partners? If you need us, we can be your servants. But the Federation has a rule that we cannot leave this planet easily, so naturally, no one dares to disturb you.”
Lan Xuanyu was speechless. These were all ten thousand-year soul beasts! Could it be that he was destined to have no fate whatsoever with Spirit Souls ? He was truly unwilling.
When he thought about this, he suddenly thought of his problem and said to the Thorn Dragon, “I once obtained a Gold Silk Ape that is similar to a Spiritual Body from the virtual Douluo World, but as time passed, it seemed to be dissipating. All of you are soul beasts, see if you can help it.”
As he spoke, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes flashed and a figure of light appeared before him.
This Gold Silk Ape was only three feet tall and its body was transparent and illusory.
After following Lan Xuanyu out of Douluo World, its ability had helped Lan Xuanyu fight before, but as time went by, it became weaker. Even though Lan Xuanyu kept absorbing large amounts of life energy, it was unable to absorb any at all, as though it was weak and unable to take any nourishment.
Seeing this illusory figure, the Thorny Dragon immediately felt strange and let out a few roars. Very soon, many soul beasts dispersed and a few soul beasts walked over.
The soul beasts that walked over included the one that followed Ding Zhuohan, as well as the Yin Yang Chaos Bird. There were also a few extremely strong existences.
That little Gold Silk Ape’s eyes were already somewhat dull, as though even its spirituality was about to disappear.
It had been some time since Lan Xuanyu summoned it, and its aura seemed to be dissipating even faster. He didn’t expect it to become like this.
“This is a little strange, my Lord. It doesn’t have a life foundation, but it has an interesting soul foundation. It’s just that this soul foundation isn’t connected to a life foundation, so it can’t be sustained for long. Maybe it’s because it follows you and your life level is high that it could last until now. Otherwise, it should have dissipated in the real world a long time ago,” the Yin Yang Chaos Bird said.
Lan Xuanyu frowned and said, “Is there any way to help it? After all, I brought it out of the virtual world.”
“Roar, roar, roar!” Right at this moment, an excited roar resounded.
“Don’t fight with me, this is mine.” This voice didn’t appear in his consciousness, but was a roar filled with excitement.
Before Lan Xuanyu could see clearly, a huge figure had already pounced over. It opened its mouth and a strong suction force appeared, sucking the illusory Gold Silk Ape into its mouth and disappearing.
Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and immediately raised his head in anger. The big guy in front of him gave him a fright.
This was a large baboon, and it was extremely muscular. When it came over just now, it pushed all the surrounding soul beasts to the side. Even when its four limbs landed on the ground, it was over five meters tall. When it stood upright, it was probably close to ten meters tall. Its entire body was covered in dark gold hair, and it had a long face and small eyes. It wasn’t very good-looking, but it was extremely majestic and big. Its shoulders were about four meters wide, and its thick arms were like giant pillars. The muscles on its shoulders were like small hills. The contours of the muscles on its entire body were extremely obvious, and it was filled with an incomparable strength.
Lan Xuanyu had actually seen it before. It was one of the largest soul beasts, at least on the surface.
While the other soul beasts were trying to choose the first years, this big fellow had been lying low in the distance and didn’t make any movements. It only squeezed over now.
There was no doubt that those that were called over by the Thorn Dragon were the strongest among this group of soul beasts. The one before him was naturally the same.
“What are you doing?” Lan Xuanyu raged.
The large baboon chuckled. “Don’t be angry, my Lord. This is the only way to save that little fella.”
Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully, “Didn’t you eat it to save it?”
The large baboon chuckled. “My Lord, although I’m omnivore, I don’t eat spirits like this! I’m doing this to help you save it. This Gold Silk Ape’s situation is rather unique. It has Spiritual Sense but doesn’t have a life source. It can’t exist in the real world at all. Your powerful aura is the reason why its Spiritual Sense isn’t destroyed. But it doesn’t have a life foundation, so it can’t enjoy the nourishment of your bloodline aura. That’s why it’s gradually withering.”
“If this kind of Spiritual Awareness really wants to continue existing, there is only one possibility, and that is to find a life form that is similar to it. To accommodate its Spiritual Awareness is equivalent to finding a new home for its Spiritual Awareness to a certain extent and using its own life foundation to connect it. But generally speaking, a life form would not be willing to do this because no one wants another spirit in their sea of consciousness to fight for control over the body. So, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for it to survive.”
“But in order to fulfill my Lord’s wish, I am willing to contribute myself. I’ve placed it in my Spiritual Sea, and its Spiritual Sense will gradually fuse with mine and become my second personality. As time goes on, its consciousness will gradually fuse with me, causing my Spiritual Sense to undergo a certain change and completely merge into one. Only by doing so will it be able to survive to a certain extent.”
The large baboon spoke with a strong sense of justice, and there was a hint of grievance in its eyes.
Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “So I was wrong about you? But why do I feel that it isn’t that simple?”
The Yin Yang Chaos Bird tilted its head and curled its beak. It actually spoke in the human language, “Of course it’s not that simple. This fella is just trying to be nice to you. That Gold Silk Ape’s Spiritual Sense has long been left behind. This fella has a cultivation of ninety thousand years and its intelligence isn’t inferior to a human’s. Its Spiritual Sense is many times stronger than that Gold Silk Ape. After fusing with it, the Gold Silk Ape’s Spiritual Sense wouldn’t have any effect on it, and only survive to a certain extent. But the problem is that the Gold Silk Ape formed a contract with you, so the contract will also naturally be transferred to it. How could it be qualified to be your Spirit Soul? Now, it can become an existence similar to your Summoned Beast. It’s really too shameless and despicable.”
The large baboon laughed and said without any shame, “That’s because you guys are dumb and I was the first one to think of it. Otherwise, which one of you wouldn’t fight over it? However, my bloodline is similar to the Gold Silk Ape so I can maintain its Spiritual Sense to the greatest extent. If it were you guys, your Spiritual Sense wouldn’t be preserved well and the contract wouldn’t be complete and you wouldn’t be able to become the Lord’s summoned beast. Gagaga. My Lord, I’m yours from now on.”
Lan Xuanyu felt a chill down his spine when he heard that. ‘I think I can say no, can’t I?’ However, a thought flashed through his mind. The Yin Yang Chaos Bird had mentioned that this large baboon had a cultivation of ninety thousand-year. It was an existence close to one hundred thousand-year soul beasts! That was very extraordinary.
He obviously recognized what soul beast it was—the Vajra Baboon, one of the strongest ape-type soul beasts. Everyone knew that the strongest ape-type soul beast was the Titan Giant Ape, and the only one that could challenge the Titan Giant Ape was the Vajra Baboon.
