Chapter 601 - 271: Symphony of Flesh and Blood (Part 6)
Fang Qingyu’s figure was like a golden comet, furiously racing forward under the lead-gray, sagging sky.
The biting wind like knives whipped against the Thunder protecting him, emitting a faint crackling sound, yet unable to penetrate at all.
Below lay the boundlessly desolate ice plains.
Colossal glaciers retreated rapidly from view like silent ancient behemoths.
The Shenxiao Power brought more than just the ability to fly.
Where the mind wills, the Thunder follows!
A slight movement of thought.
Buzz!
The ancient, simple diagram in front of him unfolded instantly, the book pages flowing with golden light paused on a brand new page:
[Profession: Shenxiao Envoy (★★★★) Level 1 (0/10000)]
[Killing Technique: None] (Pending deduction)
[Core Skills: None] (Pending deduction)
[Shenxiao Authority·Residue Level 1 (0/10000)]
Simple.
Extremely simple.
Completely unlike previously unlocked Extraordinary profession panels.
[Killing Technique: None] (Pending deduction).
The consciousness touched this line of text, a vast flood of information instantly rushed into his mind.
[With ’Shenxiao Authority’ as the core, integrate all your abilities, traits, and insights to deduce and create the unique ultimate killing technique of the ’Shenxiao Envoy’! Deduction requires the consumption of: 100 Skill Points. The deduction process will trigger Shenxiao Soul Tempering, those lacking Will will have their souls scattered!]
points?!
Fang Qingyu’s eyelid twitched sharply.
Then looked at the next one.
[Core Skills: None] (Pending deduction).
Also requires 100 Skill Points, and is accompanied by the same "Shenxiao Soul Tempering" warning.
And to raise the most basic [Shenxiao Authority·Residue Level 1 (0/10000)] to Level 2, it also requires a full ten thousand experience points.
The corner of Fang Qingyu’s mouth twitched.
Expensive!
So damn expensive!
Previously, those profession templates, core skills, and killing techniques were unlocked or enhanced gradually with level advances.
And here, it’s all blank!
Forcing one to "deduce" at great cost.
This Shenxiao Envoy’s star level is as high as four stars, truly not easy to be.
But...
The only downside of expensive things is that they are expensive.
Fang Qingyu could clearly feel that even with the most basic use of this [Shenxiao Authority·Residue], simply wrapping Divine Thunder around his body for flight and defense, the increase in Power and positional suppression it brought was enough to crush his previous peak state!
If he truly could deduce the core skills and killing technique...
Fang Qingyu suppressed the thoughts surging in his heart, forcibly stowing away the diagram.
Now is not the time to ponder.
Jiang Taixuan must die!
The Melted Gold pupils, like two burning golden fire seeds, pierced through the raging blizzard, locking firmly on the northwest direction.
With the Shenxiao Power’s blessing, his perception was magnified to an unprecedented level.
He could clearly "smell" the decayed aura that was like a maggot boring into his bones, frantically fleeing ahead within the wind and snow.
Getting closer and closer!
He could even faintly hear the other party’s wheezing, urgent and painful like a bellows.
Right in front of that deeper area, where glaciers stood like forests!
Boom!
Divine Thunder erupted again under Fang Qingyu’s feet, increasing speed by another three points.
Like golden lightning piercing through the snowy curtain, he burst boldly into a valley surrounded by enormous glaciers.
The vision suddenly opened up.
However.
When Fang Qingyu’s gaze penetrated the flying snow flurries and locked onto the struggling figure escaping at the valley’s center...
The Melted Gold pupils contracted sharply.
The brows instantly locked tightly!
At the center of the Ice Valley.
Jiang Taixuan’s withered, hunched figure was kneeling on an ice crystal emitting a faint blue light.
The ice crystal was not naturally formed.
But a fragment of a chest bone skeleton of an unimaginably massive... ice-sealed behemoth...
At the fragment’s center, remained a heart the size of a house.
Long devoid of life, presenting an eerie dark blue massive heart.
The heart was frozen solid, a thick layer of ice covering its surface, yet the remaining vast and icy Energy within could still be sensed.
At this moment, Jiang Taixuan no longer possessed a shred of the Martial Saint’s composure.
He was drenched in blood.
The dark red scale armor on him was shattered and tattered, exposing the scorched and decaying flesh beneath.
That withered old face was even more like a vengeful ghost.
However.
What made Fang Qingyu’s pupils contract the most...
Was Jiang Taixuan’s current state.
His right arm was fiercely inserting into that massive frozen heart’s center!
The arm was encircled by dense, dark red blood light.
The blood light, like a living thing, was frantically corroding and melting the hard ice encasing the heart.
More bizarrely...
An indescribable, extremely discordant terrifying aura was erupting from Jiang Taixuan’s shattered body like an awakening volcano.
That aura was mixed with his own decayed and withered Martial Saint’s Power, intermingled with the bloody devouring of the Gluttonous Stomach, and even blended with a...
Vast power from that massive heart...
Three distinctly different, even mutually conflicting powers, were forcibly and tumultuously fusing inside Jiang Taixuan in a near-suicidal manner.
Jiang Taixuan’s body was like a balloon forcibly inflated, one hideous cyan-black vein after another bulging under his skin, his body uncontrollably swelling and contracting violently.
Every expansion came with the sound of bones cracking under the weight and the dull sound of muscles tearing.
Every contraction caused him to spew large amounts of dark red, nearly black foul blood that emitted a pungent stench.
He knelt before the enormous heart ice sculpture.
Letting out a beast-like "he-he" hiss from his throat.
"Not enough... still not enough!!!"
The roar resonated in the Ice Valley, full of desperate madness.
"Damn it... devour!!!"
Along with his hysterical roar.
The right arm inserted into the heart suddenly erupted with an even more dazzling dark red blood light.
Crack! Crack-crack——!!!
The hard ice layer covering the massive heart instantly corroded and melted, splintering and peeling off like brittle glass!
Revealing the innermost massive heart body carved from the deepest, darkest ice.
Jiang Taixuan’s right arm, inserted into the heart, was suddenly shrouded in a layer of frost radiating a faint blue light.
The frost spread rapidly upward along the arm, wherever it passed, the skin and muscles instantly lost blood color, becoming ashen gray like a corpse.
"Ugh aaah——!!!"
Jiang Taixuan let out an even more shrill scream, his body convulsing violently.
But not only did he not withdraw his arm, he instead pressed his entire body more madly onto it.
The thick, dark red blood light, like a maggot gnawing into the bone, tightly entwined the massive icy blue heart, frantically absorbing and devouring the remaining vast icy death Energy within!
With the forceful injection of this power.
The fusion speed of the three conflicting powers within Jiang Taixuan’s body suddenly accelerated!
The already swelling and contracting body, at this moment, ballooned sharply like an inflating balloon.
The skin stretched so close to transparent, countless dense Blood Pearls seeping out from pores.
That withered old face contorted sadistically, one eye bulging, almost popping out of its socket.
The aura...
Rose crazily like a rocket!
Although chaotic, jumbled, and full of destructive instability.
But the intensity of that power...
Was already far stronger than before.
Hmm...
Jiang Taixuan.
The old hero passed down through generations at the Arctic Front.
At this moment, he was completely mad.
