Chapter 334: Esoteric Art! Mystical Pattern!
Seeing the shadow on the back of the giant beast, Luo Yan’s mind was filled with images.
It was the scene from Xiao Shi’s recent classroom lecture.
“Today, let me tell you about the Overlord-level giant beast.”
“I believe you all have some understanding of the Overlord-level giant beast.”
“They are the rulers of the forbidden lands, possessing more powerful abilities than other giant beasts. Their Anti-Membrane can enhance other giant beasts, suppress Elemental Power, and more.”
“However, the Overlord-level giant beast also has another important characteristic that sets it apart from other giant beasts.”
Xiao Shi paused briefly here before continuing.
“Everyone has been practicing the Visualization Technique for some time now, and should know that when we unleash our Elemental Power, different illusions will form depending on the technique we use.”
“Humans practicing will create illusions.”
“What about the giant beast?”
“Do giant beasts also practice?”
“The answer is yes.”
“Yes, giant beasts also practice, but their way of practicing is different from humans.”
“In the previous lessons, everyone has already learned about ‘Youyin’, and knows that giant beasts can enhance their levels by relying on Youyin.”
“How do giant beasts do it?”
“The truth is, giant beasts extract a certain energy from Youyin to help themselves evolve.”
“Is this process similar to how humans practice their skills?”
The classroom was filled with soft whispers all of a sudden.
Xiao Shi pressed his hands down and continued, “In addition to the Anti-Membrane, another important feature of Overlord-level giant beasts is their ability to manifest humanoid shadows through practice.”
“However, unlike the shadows of humans, the shadows of giant beasts are a reflection of their own essence.”
“We call that kind of shadow ‘Beast Soul’.”
“Therefore, a key characteristic of Overlord Giant Beasts is their ability to actively manifest their Beast Soul.”
“Once they manifest the Beast Soul, they can use ‘Esoteric Art’, which is the opposite of mystical art.”
“Esoteric Art allows giant beasts to utilize their energy and abilities more effectively, rather than simply relying on direct use and release.”
In the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan looked at the humanoid shadow on Huan’s back and let out a gentle sigh.
“Beast Soul…”
At that moment, the Beast Soul on Huan’s back suddenly let out a silent roar, unleashing an extremely terrifying pressure.
There was no sound, only pressure.
Yet it made Luo Yan in the cockpit feel a ringing in his ears, his vision blurred, his heart pounding, as if every part of him was shaking!
This was the suppression from a higher life form. Being only at an intermediate level, Luo Yan had no way to resist this kind of suppression, causing his limbs to go weak.
Now he started to understand why the forbidden land could exist, why the underground city couldn’t eliminate The Lord of the Forbidden Area or destroy the forbidden land.
It was because when an Overlord-level giant beast revealed its Beast Soul and manifested its true nature.
The invisible suppression from the higher life form was enough to render low-level pilots unable to fight, only able to be slaughtered by them.
Therefore, without absolute certainty, humans would rather choose not to provoke these terrifying giant beasts.
The forbidden land was turning into a dangerous place, where life was evolving to a higher level.
Guangling and Changping were not afraid of taking risks. They gathered their forces to enter the forbidden land and clear out the giant beasts.
“Luo Yan, cover me.”
On the communication channel, Di Zheng quickly gave orders, then controlled the ‘Mystical Wing’ towards the Huan who was revealing the Beast Soul step by step.
Luo Yan knew he might not be able to participate in the upcoming battle. So, he controlled the ‘White Dragon’ to step back while keeping his ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ fixed on the giant beast to prevent Huan from escaping.
However, Huan, who had revealed the Beast Soul, was not ready to escape yet. It raised its claw, burned to reveal its bones, and slammed it on the ground.
Immediately, black mist emerged from all around, no longer gray but completely black.
Dark as ink, thick black mist that couldn’t be dispersed!
At the same time, the Beast Soul on Huan’s back opened its hands, its human face and mouth moving continuously in sync with its hands, as if performing an ancient ritual.
As the Beast Soul moved, more and more black mist rose from all directions, gathering in the sky, almost like it was blocking out the sun!
At that moment.
In Luo Yan’s view, on the giant beast’s grayish body, the words ‘Esoteric Art’ suddenly appeared!
Unlike humans who need to make seals to release mystical art.
When Beast Soul releases Esoteric Art, it is done through rituals or ceremonial gestures.
At this point, a large amount of black mist gathered in the sky, spreading in all directions, giving people the ominous feeling of an approaching storm.
On the other side.
As the ‘Mystical Wing’ manifested Elemental Power, a faint platinum light appeared on the surface of the outer shell of the mecha.
These lights appeared on the dark mecha, just like sunlight breaking through dark clouds, giving a sense of boundless vitality.
The shining platinum lights kept moving and colliding, making deep muffled sounds.
They first formed a forked shape on the body of the ‘Mystical Wing’, but gradually transformed into spider-web-like patterns.
From Luo Yan’s perspective, the ‘Mystical Wing’ body seemed to be breaking, with some new entity bursting out from within.
Suddenly.
The entire body of ‘Mystical Wing’ shook, and there was a deafening sound of shattering in the space where the mecha was located.
However, ‘Mystical Wing’ did not break apart. Instead, the web-like patterns reorganized themselves, forming a mysterious pattern resembling symbols.
Luo Yan was taken aback.
This pattern, after merging with the two Primordial Stone Fragments, appeared very similar to the ‘Taisu pattern’.
At the same time, in the view of ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’, beside the platinum runes on the ‘Mystical Wing’, a line of information appeared: Mystical Pattern!
Luo Yan slightly furrowed his brow, he didn’t know what ‘Mystical Pattern’ was, and the academy mentor hadn’t mentioned it yet.
But he knew that after the appearance of those platinum runes, the ‘Mystical Wing’ would greatly enhance the mecha’s momentum, and emit an elemental power fluctuation like an explosion, thundering outwards.
Even the azure dragon illusion formed by the Elemental Power was tinged with a layer of gold between each scale, and the illusion expanded several times, becoming earth-shattering and formidable!
Luo Yan squinted his eyes slightly, now in this state of ‘Mystical Wing’, it seemed that staring at it for too long would make his eyes subtly ache.
Like staring at the sun, unable to endure for long.
“Mystical Pattern, could it be the mark of a Divine General-level mech?”
“What purpose does it serve?”
Luo Yan couldn’t help but feel curious, while also feeling anticipation.
Just then, in the distance, Huan roared, and the cat-human Beast Soul on his back abruptly pointed the long spear towards the ‘Mystical Wing’.
Suddenly, the sky roared with thunder, and the sky-covering black mist suddenly carried a heavy meaning. A corner of it seemed to slowly but swiftly descend, like a black waterfall.
The silent black cloud waterfall fell to the ground, surging and spreading. Wherever the black mist passed, the white giant beast skeletons and many mutated plants were all devoured by the black mist.
They were engulfed by the black mist, then internally dyed black from inside out, losing their texture in a blink of an eye. They eventually turned into thin black mist and merged with other black mists, silently moving forward.
All of this made Luo Yan’s ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ feel heavy as he watched things being swallowed and erased by the black mist.
The sky was densely covered with black clouds like a funnel, continuously dropping black cloud waterfalls.
The black waterfalls stood erect in all directions like pillars reaching the sky.
They poured down to the ground, surging black mist, flowing from all directions. It won’t be long before they engulf the ‘Mystical Wing’ and ‘White Dragon’ mechas!
