Chapter 024: Danger! Soul Sacrifice
Once again leaping onto the back of the Azure Giant Serpent, the twin daggers plunged fiercely into its neck. The Azure Giant Serpent writhed violently, trying to shake Yang Chen off. Yang Chen dared not pull out his daggers; otherwise, he would be thrown off by the Azure Giant Serpent. He no longer had any skills for instant teleportation to save himself. Gritting his teeth, he frantically operated the Demon God Strategy within him, gripping the Demon’s Kiss tightly.
The Male and Female Giant Serpents were tightly entwined, unable to use their tails to strike at Yang Chen, only able to twist and vibrate at high frequency. After four seconds, the Death Nail stimulated life, causing the Azure Giant Serpent's attributes to drop by 10%. It was no longer as fierce as it had been at first. However, Yang Chen could only maintain an undefeated state; with Ghost Step not on cooldown, he dared not loosen his grip unless he consumed another 10% of his fighting spirit to activate Demon God and escape.
Yang Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe I can't kill you!" He concentrated all his fighting spirit in his hands, crawling on the back of the Azure Giant Serpent. As he frantically operated the Demon God Strategy within him, with each cycle of true energy, the life essence within him also began to circulate, gradually refining and merging into his Dantian, transforming into a green pearl. This change activated the Nine-Pointed Star on his forehead. The Nine-Pointed Star drew countless life essences flowing towards Yang Chen's body, absorbing life essence and green vitality from the space around him.
Yang Chen felt several streams of green vitality flowing from the neck of the Azure Giant Serpent beneath him towards his forehead.
"Didn't they say I couldn't absorb the vitality of living beings?" Yang Chen said. "No, it's not that I can't absorb it; it's that my cultivation is too low to draw essence from a beast from a distance. I also need to operate the Demon God Strategy."
With this realization, Yang Chen released his grip on Angel's Sigh with his right hand and formed a palm blade. The gray fighting spirit and green vitality surged around his palm for protection before he thrust it fiercely into the neck of the Azure Giant Serpent. The Azure Giant Serpent shook even more violently. With a cold snort, Yang Chen inserted his left hand into the neck of the Azure Giant Serpent just like his right hand did, gripping a piece of flesh tightly while operating the Demon God Strategy frantically.
Streams of life essence poured into Yang Chen's body without restraint. In an instant, the Demon God Strategy reached Second Transformation Fourth Stage and showed signs of breaking through to Second Transformation Fifth Stage.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Ying and others finally finished off the Demon Faced Spider, leaving six shriveled corpses resembling spiders on the ground. Lu Ying picked up six Fourth Stage Seventh Rank Demon Cores and exclaimed in surprise, "The leader soloed a Fourth Stage Perfected Beast? Breaking Army, did I see that wrong?"
"Damn it, can you really be mistaken? If you are wrong, then that's definitely our leader! I'm impressed; I'm really impressed," Zhang Tian swallowed hard and said with difficulty, though cursing came easily to him. It was clear that members of Bloodthirsty Yongbing had been frequently scolded by him.
"Should we go up and help?" one of the Fighting Spirits suggested.
"This, this." Everyone looked at Zhang Tian and Lu Ying, after all, they were the captains.
"Go! If the Leader can take on the Azure Snake alone, what can't we do? Besides, we have so many people here; if anyone is afraid of dying, just stay put and recover," Zhang Tian said.
"Who the hell is afraid of dying? When a person dies, they just return to the earth; what's so great about that? It's just that if we rush in, will it affect the Leader and disrupt the Leader's plan?"
"Well..."
"The Leader is merely lying on the Azure Giant Serpent, motionless, yet can weaken it more and more, driving it to desperation. You think the Leader isn't secretly using some secret technique? I swear!"
"Don't go; didn't you see those Demon Beasts that just died? They died just now, and their essence was sucked away faster than before—three times faster at least! If you go over there, you won't help at all; instead, you'll make the Leader's job harder," Xie Yao interjected to stop everyone.
"The Heavenly Kill Vice Commander sees things clearly."
"Everyone sit down and recover your Fighting Spirit." Before anyone could move, twenty-eight green threads shot out from Yang Chen's Nine-Pointed Star: "Everyone cultivate and absorb; the Male Giant Serpent is about to be completed. Hurry up and recover your Fighting Spirit," Yang Chen urged.
Without hesitation, everyone followed his instructions; right now, if Yang Chen said the sun was flat, they would believe him. Yang Chen frantically operated the Demon God Strategy, stripping away the life essence of the azure giant serpent.
Suddenly, the Azure Giant Serpent stopped writhing. Holding back its pain, it opened its massive mouth in resentment as if wanting to tear Yang Chen apart and swallow him whole! Yang Chen observed the Azure Giant Serpent's unusual behavior without a hint of relaxation; he continued to operate the Demon God Strategy madly, draining its vitality.
The Azure Giant Serpent turned its head with difficulty and leaned against the Male Giant Serpent's head, murmuring as if bidding a final farewell to a lover. Suddenly, a large amount of blood gushed from its neck, and in an instant, Yang Chen was drenched in the Azure Giant Serpent's blood. Xie Yao seemed to sense something but wasn't quite sure.
"Is this snake trying to take us down with it?" Zhang Tian snorted coldly. Even though they had been absorbing the life essence transmitted by Yang Chen, they could still perceive everything happening in reality.
Mutual destruction? Xie Yao thought of something. Upon closer inspection, the blood of the Azure Giant Serpent had already enveloped the Male Giant Serpent. The Male and Female Azure Serpents were continuously hissing, as if chanting something. "No, this is a soul sacrifice. Leader, come back quickly," Xie Yao shouted loudly.
"Soul sacrifice? Demon God, dodge!" In the next moment, Yang Chen returned to Xie Yao's side and asked, "What is a soul sacrifice?"
"It means sacrificing the soul of a beast to another beast of the same kind to promote its evolution."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Any creature covered by its blood will become a sacrificial offering."
"Oh? Then can't we just kill it?"
"If we kill it, there will still be a soul left. Once sacrificed, the receiving beast will possess two souls. The dual souls coexist, with the main soul dominating. I can't kill the soul. Unless one of us is an alchemist with a different fire seed or becomes a Battle Sovereign with Soul Fire."
Xie Yao helplessly glanced at the core members of the Shadow Kill Yongbing team beside her, clearly knowing that there was no alchemist among them.
"A fifth-tier beast will have a soul? Hehe." Yang Chen smirked slightly and said, "Forget about that for now; let's first eliminate its physical body. Remember, just break its neck. I still want its head as a decoration and its skin for a chair." After saying that, he canceled the Nine-Pointed Star ultimate state and stopped absorbing the essence of living beings. Looking down, he saw that the female Azure Snake had been drained completely, leaving behind a piece of grayish shriveled snake skin.
"Got it, Leader. We will take good care of this fifth-tier One Star Jiao Snake; it won't resist, so we won't make any mistakes," Zhang Tian said with a smile. (Snakes below fifth tier are called snakes. When they advance to fifth tier, they will awaken their thin Jiao bloodline within, and then they will grow two horns on their heads, becoming Jiao Snakes. At seventh tier, they will shed their lower skin and grow four claws, becoming true Jiao Dragons. If there is an opportunity during the advancement to ninth tier, they can once again awaken their thin dragon bloodline from the Jiao bloodline and transform into a dragon! However, the chances are so slim that they are negligible.)
