Chapter 1791: Chapter 356: Stardust Battle Qi and the Cradle of Twinkling Light
"Even the regenerative ability capable of rebirth from a drop of blood couldnât resist it. As long as it couldnât be exempted, it would turn directly into a mass of decaying flesh that regenerates and dies continuously!"
"What a treasure, truly deserving the Alien Fire Seed inheritance dominating the New Continent. I want it."
At this moment, the Crystal Dragon raised its head, locking eyes with the Void Origin Winged Beetle, its expressionless gaze betraying an immense shock anyone could perceive.
[What kind of monster is this?! It can actually withstand the Silent Death Decree?!]
Afar was utterly shocked, barely able to believe it: [And it didnât just divert it, it took it head-on?! Its vitality is this exuberant? Does it have a lifespan limit?!]
In truth, even with the blessing of Fighting Spirit, the Silent Death Decree did take effect, yet it only reduced the Crystal Dragon Bodyâs lifespan by less than fifteen seconds.
And this Fighting Spirit was indeed a research product Ian developed during this time.
In a month, Ian could let Pipa and Big Iron catalyze such a formidable power, how could he not let the Crystal Dragon Body train itself? He also used the Crystal Dragon Body to condense the Douqi Seed, trying to activate the bloodline within.
Initially, Ian thought it impossible to complete, after all, this body had consumed various other Magical Beastsâ materials, theoretically making his bloodline impure.
But who knew, perhaps due to the uniqueness of the Aether Crystal Dragonâs body, or maybe Ianâs Douqi Seed was unusually mighty â he actually awakened part of the âEther Stardust Dragonâ inheritance.
Yes, the Ether Stardust Dragon, not the Crystal Dragon!
The terrifying cosmic Behemoth blood dormant in the Crystal Dragon was awakened by Ianâs power, responding to the Douqi, revealing a method of how the Ether Stardust Dragon manipulates Origin Quality and Aether.
With a slight operation, converting it into Fighting Spirit, Ian grasped the method to use this âStardust Battle Qiâ.
This was an extremely pure and powerful Life Energy Douqi, capable of repelling any attack and curse, and could enhance strength and regenerative capability, one of Ianâs most significant gains in the New Continent. With the constitution of a Crystal Dragon, he could fight in this fully explosive state for nearly an hour!
The reason he dared to expand the Arcane Pathway in the New Continent was precisely that he had absolute confidence to turn the New Continent into his territory!
And those fire seed inheritances of the Magical Beasts, like the âDecreeâ of the Winged Beetle before him, were items well within his grasp!
At this moment, the Glazed-Glass Dragon, enveloped in silver-blue Battle Qi flames, raised its two winged longswords: "All beasts, watch closely."
"This is the power of the Arcane Pathway, and it is also the power you can attain in the future!"
It was only then that Afar noticed several hundred Magical Beasts staying in the underground cavern zone, gazing at the Glazed-Glass Dragon with faces full of awe and reverence, as the dragon cleaved the ground apart upon arrival.
His words were directed at them.
Then, he swung his sword!
BOOM!
In that moment, within a kilometer, the ground gently trembled, then collapsed inward. A silver-blue winged sword light flashed, spanning half the horizon, leaving behind a trail of silver mist like a path.
Afarâs body shattered in response, its head flying high, twirling in mid-air, and in its whirling, the yet-unexpired Winged Beetle saw the sword light that sliced through it had cut across a small hill. The hillâs upper half began to slowly slide down and fell to the earth.
This wasnât any bloodline instinct of Magical Beasts, it wasnât any Origin Quality Sublimation Skill, nor was it any form of Spirit Energy... It was a power independent of the past system of Terraâs Way of Ascension, just like their Void Origin Winged Beetleâs âDecreeâ...
A power that anyone could master.
Thud, with the body disintegrating, a dark golden soul light point spiraled, trying to fly away, but eventually was swallowed by a dragonâs maw.
Dispatching Afar was as effortless as breathing; Ian was merely interested in the opponentâs Decree Magic, thus allowing the opponent to gather power, otherwise, the moment Afar entered his territory, he would be minced directly.
After Ian analyzed the essence of the Decree Magic, he struck, killing Afar.
"Directly commanding Aether, inputting directives into Aether, coercively creating material and Spirit Energy phenomena, even wielding the power to âorderâ a personâs soul and physical body to commit suicide... this is also a method of Aether utilization, and an extremely sophisticated one."
"Itâs just unfortunate, requiring an exceptionally strong Spirit Energy talent to learn. Otherwise, one cannot directly sense Aether via Spirit Energy and issue precise commands."
Ian always liked to freeload various different power systems to advance inspirations for the Arcane Pathway, and this Decree Magic can serve as a technical reserve, to be transformed into the foundation of the Arcane Pathway when the opportunity arises in the future.
But now, focusing on Fighting Spirit is still the best.
Ian looked toward the troop Afar brought, where Pipa and Big Iron were still slaughtering. Two lights intersected and flickered, leaping back and forth among the Spirit Slave Magical Beasts, blooming one blood flower after another.
The force of Magnetic Field Fighting Spirit and Fervent Fighting Spirit swept through like a tide; the squirrelâs claws and the raccoonâs fists shattered all enemies, and all Magical Beasts saw this scene, instinctively holding their breath.
Compared to Ianâs preceding strike that could even cleave mountains, Pipa and Big Ironâs performance was indeed more tangible and more captivating to their eyes.
Half a minute later, all of Afarâs Spirit Slaves, these monsters devoid of any intelligence, were utterly slaughtered.
A Phantom Sun Army capable of easily wiping out any Magical Beast Lordâs force was easily obliterated within minutes.
[Long live the Sect Hierarch!]
[Is this the Arcane Pathway?! Unbelievable, itâs truly an invincible Path!]
[Sect Hierarch, Sect Hierarch, I want to learn the Arcane Pathway!]
When all returned to silence, all Magical Beasts were enamored with the Arcane Pathway and Fighting Spirit â even if without the greatness of Pipa and Big Ironâs Fighting Spirit, with just a tenth of their power, they could be reborn, completely transforming their survival circumstances!
And if they could acquire the power at the level of Pipa and Big Iron... they would be willing to pay any price!
To this, Ian didnât speak; he soared in midair, using gravity to ascend to the sky, allowing Pipa and Big Iron to replace himself in addressing and speaking to them.
As the Sect Hierarch, he didnât need to respond to every query and sentiment of the followers, and ultimately, he is human, not a Magical Beast of the New Continent, so rather than engaging in everything personally, he cultivated Pipa and Big Iron as his spokespeople to address these matters.
Besides this reason, Ian also obtained intriguing information from just devouring Afarâs soul.
"As expected, the Fourth Level Beast Kings and Beastmaster of the New Continent are individuals who obtained power from their civilizationâs fire seed. Itâs merely because the fire seed is incomplete, damaged, or unable to fully decompress, that they cannot attain the Fifth Energy Level."
Ian surveyed this coastal region from the sky, with thoughts swirling in his mind: "After eliminating Afar, the Phantom Sun Country wonât dispatch people for a while, but I wish theyâd send more, as Iâd gain more information this way."
"After all,... this âfire seedâ corresponding âdecompression deviceâ in that guyâs mind..."
"Isnât it exactly the âCradle of Twinkling Lightâ I inherited from the Qing Steel Dragon?"
