“Warring Old Freak, I owe you one for this.” The Illusionary Ancestor’s voice rang out from above. She was currently using everything to restrain the Starfla Demon Lion. She no longer had much strength left.
“It’s just a trifle. You don’t have to be so polite, Illusionary Ancestor.” The Warring Old Freak let out a laugh. He closed his hands in the air, and a spear appeared out of nowhere. Its tip glistened with sharp, cold light, targeting the Starfla Demon Lion’s head.
In the next mont, the spear erupted with blinding light. With a splatter of blood, it pierced the Starfla Demon Lion’s head rcilessly.
However, it beca stuck when it had only penetrated half way. The Warring Old Freak’s attack had failed to pierce the head completely.
However, that was already sufficient for the Master of Profound Secrets. He imdiately controlled the cauldron, absorbing the Starfla Demon Lion’s soul essence at full force under the assistance of the Jade Lotus Master, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt.
By now, the Starfla Demon Lion had already beco extrely feeble. With a major loss of its essence of the five organs, it seed to lose a majority of its strength. Its colossal figure hovered in outer space feebly. It did not even have much strength left to break free from the Illusionary Ancestor’s restraints.
Its resistance also beca even flimsier.
But despite that, its body was still very powerful.
Wisps of power of the soul drifted out from the wound on its head, translucent and glistening like gentle ribbons of light. They were entirely absorbed by the cauldron.
That was the Starfla Demon Lion’s soul essence. It was not so regular power of the soul but a concentrate of the power of the soul.
“This is the last part. As long as we collect enough soul essence, we’ll have gathered all the hard-to-find materials to refine the ancient pill.” Looking at the wisps of soul essence, the Master of Profound Secrets eased up. He felt like a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
After all, this was the mission that the second ancestor of the Waymight clan, the Illusionary Ancestor, had personally allocated to him. If he could not complete it, he truly could not answer back to the Illusionary Ancestor.
At this mont, as the soul essence was being collected, the Starfla Demon Lion seed to be triggered by sothing. It began to struggle desperately.
The Illusionary Ancestor was stern; the laws rapidly manifested in her eyes. Her energy was being depleted at a terrifying rate.
She did everything that she could to maintain the chains, keeping the Starfla Demon Lion firmly suppressed.
The Warring Old Freak did not idle around either. His energy surged like a tsunami, striking out with full force. He struck the Starfla Demon Lion’s head again and again with his fists as if he was trying to knock out the space beast.
Under the Warring Old Freak’s vicious attacks, the Starfla Demon Lion beca dazed, but the depleting soul essence ignited its fury deep within its bloodline. It began to resist fiercely under its instincts.
A powerful force slowly erged from its body, rging with its flesh and allowing it to recover so strength.
“Not good! This animal is refining Tan Yu!” The Warring Old Freak’s expression changed when he saw this.
“Senior Warring, don’t tell soone you’re familiar with has been devoured by the Starfla Demon Lion?” the Master of Profound Secrets said in surprise.
The Warring Old Freak nodded and said, “The person who was devoured is called Tan Yu. He’s an Immortal Exalt of the Hall Brilliance Heaven. I actually ca here to save him.”
The Master of Profound Secrets sighed gently when he heard that. “Given the circumstances, it’ll probably be difficult to save him. Otherwise, it might lead to trendous problems for the Illusionary Ancestor.”
The Warring Old Freak fell silent. He was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
He could tell that the ancient pill was extrely important to the Illusionary Ancestor. If rescuing Tan Yu would result in the failure of collecting the materials for it, the consequences would be beyond severe.
After all, the Illusionary Ancestor was not simply an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. She was also the second greatest ancestor of the Waymight clan.
In this day and age, the influence of that identity alone surpassed the prestige of Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.
“The Starfla Demon Lion is clearly desperately trying to refine Tan Yu to replenish its strength. Looks like Tan Yu is truly beyond saving,” The Warring Old Freak sighed inside. He understood the Starfla Demon Lion. He was aware that under these circumstances, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu could not last very long with his strength.
“Senior Warring, pry open the Starfla Demon Lion’s mouth. I’ll go in and save Immortal Exalt Tan Yu!” At this mont, Jian Chen flew over from afar. The space beneath his feet rippled. In just a few flashes, he covered the great distance and arrived before the Starfla Demon Lion.
Then he approached the Starfla Demon Lion’s mouth directly without slowing down, his eyes filled with determination.
Jian Chen’s action made the Warring Old Freak hesitate. On the other side, the Illusionary Ancestor’s expression changed drastically as she suppressed the Starfla Demon Lion with all of her might. She withdrew part of her strength without hesitation and swung her hand at Jian Chen from afar.
Imdiately, the space in front of Jian Chen split open. A colossal spatial crack appeared. It was like a giant chasm, blocking him from reaching the Starfla Demon Lion.
“What are you doing? Is this a place where you should co to? With your asly cultivation, just the shockwaves of the battle can claim your life. Back off this instance.” The Illusionary Ancestor’s face was sunken as she yelled at Jian Chen from afar. There was undisguised fury in her voice.
It was as if Jian Chen’s suicidal actions had truly angered her.
“Senior Illusionary Ancestor, I am going to enter the Starfla Demon Lion’s body to rescue soone. I definitely won’t affect your collection of the soul essence,” Jian Chen said sternly. Afterwards, the Laws of Space circulated, and he seed to rge into space. He actually made his way around the giant chasm produced by the Illusionary Ancestor, rushing directly towards the Starfla Demon Lion’s body.
But in the next mont, the Illusionary Ancestor suddenly appeared in front of Jian Chen. Her black clothes surged about as a terrifying presence pulsed in the space there like waves, bringing Jian Chen great pressure.
Looking at the Illusionary Ancestor before him, Jian Chen felt like a wall that connected the earth and the heavens stood before him. He felt like he could not traverse it no matter what.
It felt like as long as the Illusionary Ancestor refused to give way, he could not bypass her no matter what he tried.
“You will be very close to death once you enter the Starfla Demon Lion’s stomach. You might not even be able to return alive.” At that mont, the Illusionary Ancestor was no longer as amiable as she was in the god artifact. She stared at Jian Chen frostily, giving off paramount authority that could not be defied.
“Thank you for your concern, Illusionary Ancestor. I must enter to save him.” Jian Chen felt extrely pained. Only he knew that it was impossible for the Starfla Demon Lion to kill him, but he had so trump cards that he could not expose. However, under the Starfla Demon Lion’s desperate digestion, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was already at the brink of death.
If he wasted even an extra mont, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu would be in more danger.
Ti was extrely tight.
“Is this person very important to you?” The Illusionary Ancestor gradually eased up when she faced Jian Chen’s determined gaze.
Jian Chen was rather surprised, staring at the Illusionary Ancestor in bewildernt. With her great status, why did she suddenly care about these asly things?
“Senior Illusionary Ancestor, this seems to be of no significance to you.”
“That is true.” The Illusionary Ancestor’s gaze towards Jian Chen deepened. An indetectable hint of doubt flashed through the depths of her eyes.
At this mont, several of the chains that restrained the Starfla Demon Lion suddenly snapped. The Starfla Demon Lion struggled harder and harder, showing signs of breaking free from her restraints.
