Chapter 502: The Death of the Crimson Demon? Saving the Storm Eagle!

Chapter 502: The Death of the Crimson Demon? Saving the Storm Eagle!

The Crimson Demon Solitude, unable to see Su Ping's gaze, had his eyes turn white from the backlash of his mental power at this moment.

The death of his contract beast brought him an indescribable mental shock.

However, Su Ping, standing before him, obviously didn't have the mind to care about the feelings of the Crimson Demon Solitude.

Instead, he continued indifferently, "Alright, since you still lost, then let's continue!"

His calm voice made the Crimson Demon Solitude, who was in immense pain, suddenly lift his head. His scarlet eyes, like blood, stared fixedly at Su Ping before him. At this moment, he seemed to finally recognize who the young man before him was. In his eyes filled with hatred, there was a mix of relief and shock:

"It's you! Su Ping? The newly emerged genius breeder of the Dragon Kingdom, the new Hall Breeder!"

Meng Yao, standing beside him, disdainfully curled his lips:

"As a member of the Crimson Phantom Clan, you only recognize this now. If the big families of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom were all like you, even with the presence of the Eagle Kingdom, in a few years, these small islands of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom could also be incorporated into the territory of our Dragon Kingdom."

His words clearly confirmed Su Ping's identity.

But Su Ping didn't care.

Long Er was on the ship, and the Pride Dragon could take off at any time.

With Meng Yao, even if a Holy Spirit rank arrived, he could still buy enough time to leave.

The Crimson Demon Solitude stared at Su Ping, "We have no grudges..."

Su Ping impatiently interrupted the little demon's nonsense:

"What nonsense are you spouting? The issue of stance is the greatest source of hatred! If I fall into your hands, the consequences would be the same, oh no, perhaps you might treat me better, and let me work for you, after all, from various perspectives, my value is much greater than yours.

But saying this is meaningless. The only way to gauge my value to you is to test the power of my new contract beast's new skill. If you're unwilling, then hurry up and reincarnate."

He really didn't have the leisure to chat with this little demon.

These were all pointless words.

If that last Great Celestial Dog didn't want to take action, then it was time for Meng Yao's Thunder Wing Demon to step in.

However, the next second, the Crimson Demon Solitude's body trembled, and a spatial fluctuation emerged.

This feeling was very familiar. When Su Ping was attacked in Linzhou, the spatial fluctuation that burst out from his 'Black Blood' containing the Fatty System was exactly like this.

This spatial teleportation array was increasingly precious the farther it reached.

Unfortunately, as soon as this fluctuation appeared, a sealed water prison enveloped the Crimson Demon Solitude, and the aura of spatial teleportation instantly disappeared without a trace.

The water prison blocked all spatial senses.

Meng Yao then disdainfully said:

"Kid, why bother with these impractical thoughts? While Su Ping's pet energy hasn't fully recovered, there's still a chance to defeat and escape. These efforts are useless!"

Inside the sealed water prison, the Crimson Demon Solitude's blood-red eyes glared fiercely at the two before him.

He looked like the Crimson Masked Sword Ghost that had just been burned to death by the dark flames.

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced at the little crow.

He now understood the strength of YaYa.

Transcending levels and even being invincible across levels was enough to explain everything.

Inside the water prison, the Crimson Demon Solitude slowly spoke, "Even if I can defeat it, will you really let me go? Falling into your hands is my bad luck, but my Crimson Phantom Clan is an ancient noble family with a thousand years of heritage in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom! Do you really think you can keep me here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Yao raised his eyebrows, then thought of something, and suddenly his heart stirred, causing the massive water prison to rapidly shrink.

Boom!

The terrifyingly huge water pressure directly shattered the Great Celestial Dog into a bloody pulp, which merged into the gradually reddening water prison.

Even the Crimson Demon Solitude's body directly cracked open with a pattern of crimson magma-like lines.

The next moment, he exploded just like the Great Celestial Dog!

Meng Yao's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he watched the Crimson Demon Solitude's life force and soul gradually dissipate, seemingly also surprised.

At the same time, a final scream like that of an evil ghost echoed:

"Su Ping, Meng Yao, our Crimson Phantom Clan will not let you off! The Special Envoy will not let you off either! You just wait!"

Meng Yao curled his lips, not taking this meaningless threat to heart at all.

Instead, Su Ping, standing beside him, looked at the little crow with regret.

A High Imperial Rank corpse.

In the cycle of death and rebirth, it might just be a High Imperial Rank undead resource!

What a pity.

Thinking of this, Su Ping asked, "Did this Crimson Demon Solitude commit suicide?"

Meng Yao shook his head, "It's like that, but it's also not! He died here, but he's also considered alive."

Huh?

Even after turning into a bloody mess, he could still be alive?

Seemingly understanding Su Ping's astonishment, Meng Yao nodded:

"Indeed, he's barely alive, but it's a different kind of life.

Just as this guy said, the Crimson Phantom Clan is a thousand-year-old noble family in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, and their contract beasts are named Crimson Demons, just like the family name!

This guy's Crimson Masked Sword Ghost belongs to this special kind of contract beast.

Every direct descendant of the family will form a special contract with a Crimson Demon at birth! If the direct descendant of the family grows up and dies normally, then that's the end of it. But if they encounter misfortune, they can detach themselves from their physical body through this Crimson Demon contract.

Through that little contract, their spiritual intelligence and memories can revive in that Crimson Demon! But you should understand what this represents, right?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ping blinked:

"So, this Crimson Demon will no longer be able to transform into a human? It'll become a pet, like the Crimson Masked Sword Ghost that was just killed?"

Meng Yao nodded:

"That's right, but it's not necessarily the Crimson Masked Sword Ghost. The Crimson Demons are extremely special and not limited to the pet category.

Although they are all undead, the Crimson Masked Sword Ghost, as far as I know, is a side branch of the Crimson Demon Clan that would choose the Crimson Demon body.

Given the identity of this Crimson Demon, it's unlikely to choose the more restrictive tool-type Crimson Demon body. It's more likely to choose the pure Crimson Horned Imp. If its potential is sufficient,

there's even a chance to advance and become a Crimson Bodied Demon King, a Holy Spirit Rank ferocious beast in the future."

There are indeed countless types of pets in this world, each more fascinating than the next.

Even just hearing about them, Su Ping found it intriguing.

Meng Yao, however, didn't seem to care:

"It's just a lowly method, seemingly giving insurance to family members. In reality, the souls of the family members, is just a breeding of the Crimson Demons. There's nothing worth praising.

The Crimson Demons' combat power is just so-so. When this guy was human, I could kill him, and now that he's a ghost, I'm supposed to be afraid? You don't need to feel pressured either, kid."

Meng Yao patted Su Ping's shoulder and turned to look at the other person on the field who had been ignored all this time.

The trembling old man from the island nation.

"Spare me, please spare me..."

Meng Yao didn't care at all. Just as he was about to give the Thunder Wing Demon some thoughts, sending it to meet the King of Hell, Su Ping suddenly spoke up:

"Wait, Senior!"

Facing Meng Yao's astonished gaze, Su Ping explained:

"Do you have soul-searching means? When that guy arrived, he seemed to have said something to this old guy. Let's see if there's anything to discover or gain."

The old man, who had been welcoming death with a face as pale as dirt, looked at Su Ping with a gaze as if he were seeing a devil or demon.

The pain of soul-searching was like being devoured by ten thousand ghosts, unbearable:

'Damn it, you want to know something directly, don't you? I'm not refusing to tell! Why bother?'

Unfortunately, at this moment, he didn't have the right to speak!

The old man immediately wanted to end his own life, but Meng Yao stopped him and nodded.

Then, the Ray Saint summoned a special pet that Su Ping had never seen before.

Compared to Cold Grandpa's Blue Flame Heart Demon,

Meng Yao took out a strange star.

A silver-gray star with a little strange pattern on it.

Seeing Su Ping's curiosity, Meng Yao said indifferently:

"Malicious Starfish! An Imperial Rank psychic and water-type pet, Su Ping, you shouldn't look at it. I'll extract this psychic fragment later, so you don't have any psychological shadows."

Hmm?

Su Ping was taken aback.

Even though the soul-searching method was a bit cruel, Su Ping had seen Cold Grandpa perform soul-searching in Linzhou, so he didn't have any psychological shadows, right?

"It's fine, I'm seeing this pet for the first time!"

Meng Yao glanced at the excited Su Ping and didn't continue persuading him. Instead, he began soul-searching the Malicious Starfish.

What is soul-searching?

In reality, it's not as incredible or exaggerated as it seems. It can reveal a person's entire life memory in detail.

After all, there are some things that even the person themselves forget.

The effect of soul-searching will become increasingly unfavorable as time passes.

Moreover, the requirements are not ordinary.

The Blue Flame Heart Demon could directly enter a human's soul and perform soul-searching through burning.

At this moment, Su Ping understood why Meng Yao had advised him not to look.

'SpongeBob, do you know how Patrick eats?'

The starfish's eating had a certain Cthulhu-like beauty.

And that was just an ordinary starfish.

The Malicious Starfish's eating-type soul-searching was a bit different from ordinary starfish. The place where psychic power resides is the brain...

Most pets and ferocious beasts are not those cute and lovable little things on the outside. Combat, hunting, strength, blood, savagery, and terror are the eternal themes.

Su Ping pursed his lips and turned away, choosing to believe Meng Yao's advice.

He put aside his thoughts and focused all his attention on the little Windstorm Azure Eagle.

The formidable enemy was slain.

Two Divine Wind Sparrows, one large and one small, perched beside the Windstorm Azure Eagle, both filled with sorrow.

Su Ping sighed.

Who could have thought of such a thing?

However, it was evident that the life essence was just a Monarch Rank life-type resource.

The little crow's combat speed was already fast, but at this moment, it could also sense that the remaining life force within the Windstorm Azure Eagle, maintained by the life essence, was still slowly fading away.

He had done his best.

The Divine Wind Sparrow was initially an enemy, and although it was now considered recaptured, it wasn't entirely considered family.

His efforts could be considered as having gone above and beyond.

Su Ping could only console himself with this thought.

However, very soon, he suddenly froze.

Then, he directly reached out his hand, fully activating his rarely used talent, 'Rapid Recovery.'

After that, to the astonishment of the two Divine Wind Sparrows and the little Windstorm Azure Eagle, he closed his eyes.

In less than three seconds, Su Ping reopened his eyes, and the next moment, a ray of light appeared, and something was taken out from the Beast Taming Space.

It was an extremely familiar special resource.

An Imperial Rank undead resource: Soul Orb.

The Soul Orb and Soul-Guiding Lampwick had similar functions, but their effectiveness was vastly different.

The latter could guide the deceased soul, protecting it from complete dissipation.

The former, on the other hand, could only accommodate the soul, providing slight assistance in its condensation, preventing it from dispersing completely.

However, it must be said that the abilities of the two are somewhat similar, in that they can both protect the soul from perishing.

They can maintain the life of the soul's physical body for a period of time.

Although this item is quite precious and can only be used by one life form, according to Su Ping's previous self-persuasion, this Windsplitting Lan Eagle is not worth using such a thing.

However, after Su Ping realized that the 'Death Reincarnation' had devoured the corpse of the first 'Two-Headed Ghost Dove', and gradually condensed this resource, he almost didn't think twice before taking it out.

There's no question of worth, only willingness.

Death Reincarnation is indeed the most precious of the undead lineage space characteristics, as Cold Lord had called it.

The Reincarnation Tombstone is also one of the most precious characteristic resources.

After devouring the corpse of an Imperial Rank pet beast, it actually gave birth to an Imperial Rank undead lineage resource!

Su Ping looked at the two Divine Wind Sparrows with their astonished gazes, and then said with great enthusiasm:

"Don't look anymore, this thing might save it!"

With the effect of spiritual communication, the three intelligent high-level birds instantly brightened up.

Su Ping didn't bother to explain further.

When it came to undead lineage research, he was no less knowledgeable.

In pet beast cultivation, the undead lineage's definition of death is the complete dissipation of soul power, with consciousness and self entirely vanishing.

Those scattered undead crystals and soul dust resources are the result of this dissipated soul power over time and in special environments.

Therefore, as long as the soul is protected and remains intact, it is not considered a complete death.

Initially, the soul orb that Water Lord took out, the one belonging to Nie Chuan's pet beast 'Vast Sea Whale', was based on this principle.

However, the Vast Sea Whale's soul had been in the soul orb for too long, and was already severely damaged.

But in the current situation, the Windsplitting Lan Eagle had not yet completely died!

The soul was naturally highly condensed and stable.

As long as the soul orb protected the soul, and the physical body was brought back, Su Ping was confident that he could use other methods to turn this Windsplitting Lan Eagle into an undead lineage bird pet beast.

Moreover, he had an ace up his sleeve! The formula for the Illusory Heart!

It was obtained during the perfect cultivation of the evolution from the Forest Wolf to the Spirit Wolf.

Through elementalization, it was possible to temporarily use the same resources to sustain the Windsplitting Lan Eagle's body, preventing it from completely losing all life and decaying.

If there was no soul orb, this method would be meaningless, as the dissipation of the soul would render the protection of the physical body through elementalization pointless.

But now, things were different!

Action was swift!

Whether it was the Illusory Heart or some of its lower-level conventional resources, Su Ping had them all in his Beast Taming Space.

Under the astonished gazes of the three birds, Su Ping took them out one by one, directly catalyzing them with his spiritual power and infusing them into the dying Windsplitting Lan Eagle's body.

Subsequently, he placed the soul orb' on its forehead.

As expected, the soul about to dissipate formed a small green bird phantom, entering the dark gray soul orb and illuminating it.

At the same time, the battered body was enveloped and fused by a phantom force.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the three large birds staring at him in a daze: "It's done. I have an eighty percent chance of saving this Windsplitting Lan Eagle's life. However, it might change form in the future! But its memories and consciousness will not be affected, so you can rest assured. If you're still worried, you can come back with me and witness it for yourselves."

The Little Divine Wind Sparrow and the Little Windsplitting Lan Eagle could be attracted and controlled by the Little Flame.

However, this Imperial Rank, and already mid-Imperial Rank, Divine Wind Sparrow, was obviously not going to be controlled by the Little Flame.

But Su Ping didn't have the intention to tame it right now, so he just went with the flow.

As expected, upon hearing that their mother/partner had a chance of recovery, the three birds didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

On the return journey, Su Ping wasn't in a hurry. With the soul orb, and a definite route, he could go all out.

He could directly drive the Pride Dragon with Long Er, activating the Wind and Thunder mode, and cover this mere thousand-kilometer distance in even half an hour.

The soul orb could protect the soul for several months without issue.

At this moment, he was more interested in the place beneath his feet.

He had never seen a location where the terrain alone, without powerful wind element resources, could form such a dense concentration of wind element energy.

What interested him even more was that this Divine Wind Sparrow, as well as the Little Divine Wind Sparrow and the Windsplitting Lan Eagle, seemed to have mastered the same wind-based epic skill:

Hurricane Eye!

This skill wasn't even a racial skill for these three.

Although the Divine Wind Sparrow did indeed possess an epic wind-based racial skill, it wasn't the Hurricane Eye!

Regarding the epic skill Hurricane Eye, Su Ping initially thought that the Little Divine Wind Sparrow's talent was high enough, so he didn't think much of it. Instead, he wanted to keep it in the Heart of All Souls.

While it was true that many times, by chance, wind-based pet beasts would enter a tornado vortex, experience a life-and-death crisis, and then comprehend epic skills like this.

But for three of them, especially such closely related pet beasts, to comprehend and master it together was truly remarkable.

Su Ping looked at the strange valley wall on the island,

And above it, that even stranger vortex tunnel,

And couldn't help but exclaim:

'Nature is truly divine workmanship!'
