Chapter 551: Death Rules! The Death of the Holy Spirit!
Chapter 551: Death Rules! The Death of the Holy Spirit!
Winter Snow Demon King.
Su Ping had some knowledge about it.
And he knew quite a bit.
It wasn't that he had any particular interest in this Companion Beast.
It was purely because he had initially done it as a side task.
Half a year ago, when he first arrived in the Northern Plain, as a Beastmaster of the Commander level, Yin Luo had mentioned it to him.
Among the super-tier skills cultivated by Charles,
There was a super-tier skill called 'Frost Whispers',
and the Companion Beast cultivated for this skill was a Monarch-ranked Undead-type ice-element Companion Beast called 'Cold Frost Succubus'.
Yes, this Winter Snow Demon King was the Holy Spirit-ranked evolved form of Cold Frost Succubus, and it was the only Holy Spirit-ranked evolution channel.
Therefore, Su Ping wasn't surprised or concerned.
Even compared to the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword and the Little Origami Figurine, the appearance of this Winter Snow Demon King was absolutely worthy of the Holy Spirit rank.
Endless frosty white mist surrounded it, swirling on the outskirts.
Substantial snowflakes constantly floated around its body.
It had to be said that from this scene alone, the Winter Snow Demon King seemed ethereal and incredibly beautiful.
However, in the center, there was a figure encased in a frosty armor made of ice.
It had a humanoid form, but behind the armor, there was no face or other features, only a pair of dark blue eyes.
At first glance, Su Ping thought this thing also held a sword in its hand, a sword called Frost Sorrow.
But obviously, it didn't.
Although it looked like a filial son, its lower body wasn't completely humanoid; instead, it was similar to the Wind Element Spirit, hidden in a blue mist of cold.
This thing resembled an Elemental Spirit Companion Beast, but the snowflakes around it and the wailing sounds within them proved that it was not only thoroughly Undead-type, but also of a high purity.
However, Su Ping obviously didn't care about any of this.
Even Qian Yi didn't mind.
As a precaution, he took one last look at the Winter Snow Demon King's abilities and transmitted them to Qian Yi, then retreated, creating a narrow battlefield of several li within the Heavenly Tomb, where the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword and the dark mist converged.
For the combatants, this battlefield was not only small but also cramped.
Holy Spirit-ranked beings often fought with their full abilities, and life-and-death battles between them usually took place in the starry sky.
On the Blue Planet, there were suppressive forces, and many skills couldn't be used to their maximum potential.
Moreover, the Blue Planet was special and couldn't be easily destroyed.
Otherwise, if the impact was too great, it would be normal for Legendary-ranked beings to intervene.
However, neither the Winter Snow Demon King nor Qian Yi had any objections to this battlefield.
The former believed that even if the situation was special, and even if the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword didn't know why it would submit to such a small thing, it was because the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was attracted to the Legendary Totem behind this small thing and chose to submit and become its servant.
After all, Tool-type Companion Beasts, like Plant-type, didn't care much about freedom.
So, even if this guy's strength was a bit strange, it was impossible for it to cross twelve small realms and a major realm gap to pose a threat to it.
Transcending realms in battle?
That's something done by low-level brats.
What is the Holy Spirit rank?
If not for the vastness of the universe and the often insufficient energy supply, Holy Spirit-ranked beings could even cross the starry sky.
They are truly high and mighty.
And it still wants to transcend realms in battle?
It's thinking too much!
However, Qian Yi's thoughts were simpler.
Small battlefield? The quicker it's resolved, the better, right?
The Ghost Tide in the Northern Border had lasted for over four months, from the end of the Youth Professional Examination in July to the end of November.
For four months, there had been Holy Spirit-ranked battles, but most of them were brief and mainly standoffs.
On the contrary, there hadn't been many full-scale battles, making Cold Sir impatient.
But now,
This battle, which had reached the Holy Spirit rank, began in the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb, and it was Su Ping's Companion Beast that started it.
Without a referee's judgment, in the deep part of the Heavenly Tomb where the dark mist lingered, the battle began the instant the cold, piercing wind blew away the mist.
Qian Yi held a black sword.
A wave of light appeared behind him as the Five Elements energy was suddenly released.
However, not a trace of it materialized on his body.
The Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body, in this cultivation and evolution, had completely merged with Qian Yi himself.
It had become Qian Yi's inner core skill.
Even in this situation, others couldn't observe the progress of the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body's operation as they had in the previous assessment competitions.
The endless cold wind was enough to instantly shatter titanium and explode mountains, but on Qian Yi's body, it only condensed into a faint layer of cold, which was then absorbed, digested, and disappeared without a trace.
And Qian Yi, of course, wouldn't wait for the Winter Snow Demon King to make its move.
The cold wind pierced.
Qian Yi, however, paid no heed to this.
He swung his sword, and the boundless sword aura that followed cleaved a ten-meter-deep pit into the frozen ground. Only then did he seem to finally loosen up his body and enter a combat state.
Then, in Su Ping's line of sight, Qian Yi unleashed the two most powerful skills from his recent evolution!
In an instant, the world of howling winds created by the domain-type skill was shrouded in darkness.
"Clang!"
Within the Soul Furnace, the sword resonance was so intense that Su Ping almost heard PTSD. It seemed to reverberate throughout the entire Heavenly Tomb.
The Winter Snow Demon King was one thing.
However, the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, which precisely hit the 'Death Sword Master' with its three tags, trembled all over.
The massive crimson eyeball was filled with excitement, fear, and madness.
The boundless sword aura emanated from its body, shattering some of the nearby low-level undead creatures.
They had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
However, it was evident that the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword deeply revered the position of the Death Sword Master.
Old Sha, when facing wooden targets, could only suppress a portion of their power.
Qian Yi, facing this Winter Snow Demon King, merely felt a slight resistance in his energy.
Nevertheless, Qian Yi's true killing move was apparently not limited to this.
Accompanied by the resounding sword resonance,
The entire world seemed to transform into a world of swords.
Death Sword Domain!
Domain-type skills were the hallmark of high-tier companion beasts, and the vast majority were even super-tier skills.
But every skill had its strengths and weaknesses.
Domain skills were no exception.
The Winter Snow Demon King's domain-type skill was called Winter World.
It was a pure domain of ice and wind fusion, with the most common effects being elemental attacks and speed reduction.
However, this skill did have its effects.
But after the Death Sword Domain appeared, Su Ping's eyes twitched.
Aside from the energy amplification that was practically useless to Qian Yi, the Death Sword Domain currently had no practical use.
Because the Death Sword Domain manifested the roles and power of the Sword Puppet, Sword Ghost, and Sword Weapon.
But Qian Yi had just finished evolving; where would he get these things?
The Origami Sword was barely sufficient, but after the evolution, the Commander-tier Origami Figurine, at most, could be enhanced through the abilities of the King of Origami. However, using this against a Holy Spirit-tier opponent was clearly unrealistic.
Therefore, this Death Sword Domain only had the effect that Su Ping most anticipated.
As expected, the first opponent after the evolution was a Holy Spirit-tier, and even Qian Yi couldn't gauge the extent, so he unleashed his full power.
Qian Yi's entire evolved strength was on display at this moment.
Accompanied by the resounding sword resonance,
Qian Yi's body seemed to transform like mercury, undergoing a substantial change.
Unlike the previous origami-style folding transformation,
This time, the small paper figure's body was shaped like a liquid mold.
And the mold was the Death Sword itself!
The Death Sword in his hand was suddenly thrown into the sky, and the black blade pierced through Qian Yi's head, merging with his body.
Within the mercurial transformation, the Death Sword took on a peculiar posture, growing with the wind.
In just a second, it transformed into a giant sword twice the height of a person!
Is this the Divine Sword Form?
Su Ping understood.
Behind him, Lord Bai was also dumbfounded.
As the supreme legend-tier existence of the gold element, he had seen countless weapon-type companion beasts, but it was evident that Bai Hu had never seen anything like this.
The results were even more surprising, and what he hadn't seen was yet to come.
Qian Yi, transformed into a giant sword, didn't hesitate for a moment.
With simplicity and straightforwardness, he instantly overcame the energy interference of Winter World and simultaneously faced the freezing ice that enveloped him. The ice instantly disappeared.
As soon as Qian Yi transformed, the Winter Snow Demon King launched its attack.
Absolute Zero, a super-tier skill, was so challenging to use in Mu Hanshan's hands, but for the Winter Snow Demon King, it was just a momentary effort.
However, the condensed ice, which was supposed to thoroughly freeze Qian Yi's vitality and movement, had just taken effect when Qian Yi's figure disappeared.
No one saw how Qian Yi appeared in front of the Winter Snow Demon King.
But that sword had already pierced through.
Bang!
The previous Winter Snow Demon King had launched numerous attacks on Qian Yi, all to no avail, but Qian Yi's single strike directly hit, simply shattering the opponent's Frosty Armor!
The wind and snow instantly enveloped him, and his figure appeared in the distance, startling the Winter Snow Demon King.
But even with its speed, in a small-scale battlefield, how could it compare to Qian Yi's agility? Qian Yi also seemed to finally get used to this combat frequency.
He didn't even use any other skills or sword techniques; he merely slashed with the sword's blade, forcing the Winter Snow Demon King to retreat step by step.
This is a battle between an Emperor Rank 3 and a Holy Spirit Rank 5.
Teleportation! And it's not an ordinary teleportation!
This teleportation has no spatial disturbance, no casting animation, and no cooldown time!
At this moment, not only the Winter Snow Demon King, but everyone else understands.
But why is a death-type, undead Companion Beast using teleportation better than a spatial-type Companion Beast?
This, they don't understand.
However, soon they have one more thing they don't understand.
Qian Yi seems accustomed to this style of combat.
It still doesn't use any offensive skills, and there's no leakage of energy aura.
Even the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body, after rising, only resists the Winter World and the ubiquitous Absolute Zero super-tier ice attacks, and doesn't unleash any other offensive abilities.
From start to finish, Qian Yi's only attack is slashing and stabbing!
Just like when Su Ping first encountered Qian Yi, it's like the little guy is practicing.
Although the attack is unpredictable due to teleportation, it has limited damage against the Winter Snow Demon King.
Undead and elemental Companion Beasts are generally not afraid of direct physical attacks.
These types of Companion Beasts are high-tier, and their rarity is due to this.
As a half-elemental, half-undead Companion Beast, even if the layer of solid ice armor is shattered and the energy is slightly overturned, it can quickly recover.
As for the cluster of primordial souls within, physical attacks have almost no effect.
But Qian Yi keeps slashing and stabbing.
Although it can't defeat or kill its opponent, it annoys the Winter Snow Demon King.
It had boasted so much.
Yet, facing an Emperor Rank little guy, it's getting beaten.
How can it accept this situation? But there's no way out!
It wants to leave the Death Sword Domain, but first, it's difficult to escape a domain skill, which is why it's so powerful.
To escape, one must possess special means or directly crush it with their own domain skill.
Otherwise, it's troublesome.
Secondly, it agreed to the battlefield's expansion, so if it withdraws now, doesn't it mean admitting defeat?
A Sacred Spirit-tier Beast has human-level intelligence and dignity! After all the boasting, it wants to run? Since this opponent has no lethal attacks, it can just keep fighting.
The Winter Snow Demon King isn't stupid. It doesn't believe the opponent can maintain this level of teleportation combat for long.
That's impossible!
Although it has an inexplicable sense of crisis, at this moment, it trusts itself.
It's this self-confidence.
So, amidst the inexplicable, after enduring one slash, it never gets up again.
That's right,
It's dead.
This Sacred Spirit-tier Winter Snow Demon King is dead.
If not for the disappearance of the Winter World domain skill, if not for the collapse of the Winter Snow Demon King's soul, leaving behind a Sacred Spirit-tier soul crystal, and if not for the faint shadow absorbed from its corpse into the Death Sword, along with the disappearance of the Death Sword Domain,
Perhaps no one would have realized it.
This Sacred Spirit Rank 5 Winter Snow Demon King is dead.
It died inexplicably, in a mysterious way.
All the previous attacks were ordinary, casual slashes, but the opponent died from them.
Sacred Spirit Rank!
Without grand energy explosions, without terrifying skill waves, and the battle could barely be considered intense.
But the ending left everyone, both openly and secretly watching, with a chill running through their bodies.
The terrifying skill effect isn't the most frightening.
What truly terrifies is not knowing how it died.
Bewilderment.
Everyone is bewildered.
Even Lord Bai, with his vertical green-yellow eyes, has a hint of confusion, as even he didn't fully understand.
He only felt that in that instant, a force named 'rule' was triggered.
However, only Su Ping remains silent.
He now understands a little.
He understands how powerful and absurd Qian Yi's skill, 'Death Mark,' is.
Yes, only Su Ping, through Qian Yi's feedback, knows why such a simple attack could unreasonably cause the Winter Snow Demon King's death.
It's because of that Death Mark, which should be one of the most powerful skills of the God of the Dead, in a fragmented state.
It was triggered.
Then, the Winter Snow Demon King, a full twelve levels higher, died without ever knowing the reason for its demise.
This is the rule of death.
