Chapter 863: Crimson Tail Scorpion
TL: BluVerse
“I understand,” the Treasure Seeking Beast’s voice sounded again. “Master, the energy here is divided into two types: essence and dregs. The Immortal Spiritual Energy absorbed from the Douluo Planet converts some of the essences into Soul Beasts, while the remaining part after refining becomes the environment here. These energies are low-level, not nonexistent, but they’re not of much use to you, so you don’t feel them much.”
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said, “So, in other words, these Divine Realm fragments have been silently absorbing the energy from the mother planet all along? Is that why the mother planet has gradually declined in ten thousand years ago? And then it devoured another plane that attacked us, which enabled it to evolve. If the energy of the mother planet increases, the energy provided by these Divine Realm fragments will also be stronger, right? Is it possible that the Immortal Energy could evolve ? Or even the Divine Realm fragments gradually restored and grown into a Divine Realm?”
Treasure Hunting Beast wasn’t quite sure and said, “In theory, it’s possible.”
Lan Xuanyu took a sharp breath, as he suddenly thought of a possibility. If this possibility was true, then this game set by the Spirit Pagoda would be huge. At least spanning over tens of thousands of years!
All the fragments had turned into Ascension Spirit Platforms, scattered across different planets, and absorbing the energies of those planets. If these fragments absorbed enough energy, could they possibly create another Divine Realm? This was truly difficult to say!
If this was the plan of the Spirit Pagoda, then it was really remarkable.
No one thought of this before because nobody knew that the Ascension Spirit Platforms were formed by Divine Realm fragments. However, the unintentional speculation by the Treasure Seeking Beast made everything seem clear. If the Spirit Pagoda could still control these fragments, then it was truly possible for this scenario to happen!
Since ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Pagoda had been clearly in a disadvantageous position under the suppression of the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. Although the Spirit Pagoda remained wealthy and prosperous, they seemed to have been very low-key and had not attempted any actions against the Shrek Academy or Tang Sect in public for at least the past ten thousand years. However, it was unexpected that they were possibly making such a big move.
Of course, all of this was still just Lan Xuanyu’s conjecture. To confirm it further, he needed to find a piece of the Divine Realm Fragment and find the immortal energy within it to prove it.
Currently, Im still too weak. When I become stronger, I must explore this matter thoroughly, starting with the Elementary Ascension Platform.
As he pondered, suddenly a low roar sounded.
Lan Xuanyu instinctively turned his head and saw a huge brown scorpion appearing on a tree crown not far away.
“Wow, this Crimson Tail Scorpion is so big, it must have a cultivation of at least 50,000 years, right?”
Undoubtedly, the Crimson Tail Scorpion was attracted by the sound of the just-fallen tree.
Its icy eyes stared at Lan Xuanyu. Its body was over four meters long, with its tail raised high, and also about four to five meters long. The tip emitted a faint reddish-brown color. Although its body was huge, it was as smooth as jade, with a kind of ferocious beauty.
Red spikes protruded from its back like a hedgehog. However, it did not take any further action while staring at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu did not make any reckless move and also stared at it.
The Crimson Tail Scorpion was a highly aggressive and solitary soul beast among the scorpion-type soul beasts. Its tail hook was extremely venomous and it also possessed many innate abilities. Lan Xuanyu had never heard of one as big as this before, so he couldn’t judge its specific cultivation age. It shouldn’t be 100,000 years old, but at least it was over 50,000 years old.
He was getting excited now. If he could kill such a powerful soul beast, how much energy would it provide him to upgrade his soul ring? And what changes would there be to his soul ring, which was already at the one hundred thousand year level?
Just as he was getting excited, the Crimson Tail Scorpion moved.
Its sharp claws suddenly grasped the trunk, and its raised scorpion tail trembled in Lan Xuanyu’s direction. Suddenly, a series of red lights shot out.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t dare to be careless. The green light on his body flickered, and he quickly moved backward like lightning.
But the speed of those lights was extremely fast. They almost reached him in an instant. The sharpness of the attack made his skin tremble. He could feel the scorching heat on the red light, which was not the power of fire elements but the burning and corrosive power brought by the potent venom.
The Crimson Tail Scorpion also had a nickname: King of Fire Poison!
Taking advantage of the split second of time he gained from his rapid retreat, Lan Xuanyu had already swung his right hand and punched into the air. The surrounding air burst, as if the entire space had been shattered in an instant.
Amidst the intense rumbling sound, all of the lights were shattered. It was the Titan Divine Fist.
After shattering the attack of the Crimson Tail Scorpion, Lan Xuanyu swung his left hand, and large patches of spikes made of mud emerged from the ground, covering the Crimson Tail Scorpion and the surrounding space. He controlled the earth’s elements.
The huge body of the Crimson Tail Scorpion trembled, and a dark red halo burst out all over its body. The halo spread out, with a diameter of about fifteen meters, and everything within a range of fifteen meters was turned into ashes.
This was the Fire-Poison Halo, a range-type soul skill and an innate ability of the Crimson Tail Scorpion, which could only be awakened by Crimson-Tailed Scorpions with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years.
The terrifying fire and poison erupted within the range, instantly corroding everything around it.
“Wow, amazing!” Lan Xuanyu’s pupils contracted. The tail of the Crimson Tail Scorpion trembled again, and another burst of lights shot towards him.
This time, Lan Xuanyu was fully prepared. He held out both hands at the same time. With the sound of a dragon’s roar, a golden dragon emerged from his palms. The dragon bared its teeth and claws, instantly crushing the burst of lights. The fierce poison on it could not corrode the dragon, but only made it slightly more elusive. The golden dragon flashed and rushed towards the Crimson Tail Scorpion.
The Crimson Tail Scorpion lifted its front pincers and smashed down fiercely.
“Boom!” A violent roar was like a thunderbolt from the blue. The golden dragon bloomed, and the powerful bloodline force oppressed the Crimson Tail Scorpion’s breath, and its huge body was also blasted away by the impact.
Leaping up, Lan Xuanyu’s body shot forward like lightning, his right hand grabbing a blue long halberd out of thin air. With a flick of his wrist, the long halberd shot out like lightning, instantly catching up to the body of the Crimson Tail Scorpion that was flying backward.
With his cultivation level breaking through to the fifth rank, he was no longer limited to using the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd only in his Dragon God Transformation state. This powerful weapon that ignored defense could finally be used to some extent.
The Crimson Tail Scorpion had practiced for many years and had a strong sense of crisis. Flipping its body and landing on the ground, it subconsciously wanted to dodge. But at that moment, a deafening dragon’s roar sounded out.
A huge golden dragon head appeared in front of Lan Xuanyu, its wild dragon’s roar filled with a ferocious aura. The furious roar seemed to make all creatures submit, shaking the surrounding space.
The Crimson Tail Scorpion’s body instantly stiffened and the speed of its blood flow slowed down. All it could do was lift its front claws in an attempt to resist.
“Spurt!”
In front of the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd, there was not much difference between its extremely hard front claws and tofu. They shattered instantly, and the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd nailed its huge body to the ground.
With a wave of his right hand, Lan Xuanyu retrieved the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd that had just begun to devour and turned it into a dark blue light shadow that flew back and landed on Lan Xuanyu’s thumb, transforming into a ring.
