Chapter 448 True Despair!
“Bang!”
Shendao heavily fell to the ground, dragging his feet backward for over ten meters before stabilizing his body.
“Roar…” The spirit dragon opened its mouth wide and unleashed an extremely furious roar at Shendao.
Shendao stood in place, his entire body enveloped in a surging blue light.
“Indeed, as a guardian spirit of this level of origin, its power is truly formidable.”
Shendao’s body slowly lifted off the ground.
“Unfortunately, you no longer pose a threat to me.”
At this moment, he felt an endless supply of spiritual energy coursing through him, every inch of flesh and blood pulsating and boiling!
“Bang!”
A beam of energy shot out from the spirit dragon’s mouth.
“Devour Spirit.”
Shendao brought his hands together, forming a seal, and a layer of mirror-like light shield coalesced in front of him.
The energy beam shot by the spirit dragon crashed into this layer of light shield without making a sound!
It was as if it had been absorbed into it!
A slight smirk appeared at the corner of Shendao’s mouth as he uttered two words: “Counter Spirit.”
From the mirror-like light shield, a surge of energy erupted!
It was the blue energy that the spirit dragon had just unleashed!
“Boom!”
The massive body of the spirit dragon was unable to evade swiftly, instantly struck by this energy beam, producing a tremendous sound as it was sent flying.
The spirit dragon crashed heavily against the rock wall behind, causing the entire underground lair to shake violently!
Shendao looked at the spirit dragon and coldly said, “I have devoured this origin; you should obey me.”
“Roar…”
The spirit dragon roared violently, its head lunging forward, trying to break free from the recessed rock wall.
“It seems I can only calm you down.”
Shendao extended his right palm, directly facing the spirit dragon.
“Boom…”
The dragon’s body, which had just lifted, was immediately pressed back into the rock wall! It roared frantically, twisting its body, but could not move an inch!
At this moment, Shendao pressed his right palm forward by another centimeter.
“Boom…”
The spirit dragon’s massive body sank deeper into the rock wall!
“Roar…”
The spirit dragon continued to roar in anger, struggling desperately, but to no avail.
An invisible immense force held it down firmly!
Not far away, Fang Yu had been observing Shendao, who was radiating a terrifying aura.
Was this bandage-wrapped figure the true form of the three strange masked individuals he had encountered earlier?
“How could he absorb an origin containing such a vast amount of spiritual energy in such a short time? A human body should not be able to withstand such a large amount of spiritual energy…”
Fang Yu scrutinized Shendao, his brow furrowing.
Even Fang Yu, who had undergone body refinement over a hundred times, needed a certain amount of time to refine spiritual veins or origins.
It should be noted that Fang Yu’s physical body was already incredibly close to the limits of humanity.
Yet Shendao absorbed that origin in less than five seconds.
Moreover, he was genuinely drawing the origin into his body.
When Fang Yu’s consciousness first detected Shendao, he had not yet absorbed that origin.
At that time, Shendao’s aura was roughly equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
But after absorbing that origin, his aura was infinitely close to the peak of the Transformation Stage.
The difference was substantial, clearly due to the enhancement from that origin.
Of course, such a forcibly elevated strength could not truly reach the peak of the Transformation Stage.
However, the fact that Shendao could successfully absorb the origin in such a short time revealed something.
He was not human, or rather, his current body was not made of human flesh and blood.
This was something Fang Yu had sensed when he killed the ghostly figure in Huamanlou.
Creating a body capable of containing such immense spiritual energy was already an astonishing feat.
What exactly was this body made of?
Fang Yu pondered.
“Boom…”
Shendao continued to suppress the spirit dragon.
The spirit dragon’s body was deeply embedded in the rock wall.
Shendao’s bandage-wrapped face showed no expression, but he was internally alarmed.
Although it appeared that he had subdued the spirit dragon on the surface, in reality, he was not at ease.
The spirit dragon’s power was immense, preventing him from relaxing even slightly; otherwise, it would break free from its restraints.
There was also Fang Yu, watching closely.
Shendao knew he could not afford to waste too much energy on the spirit dragon; he had to end this quickly!
Otherwise, Fang Yu would definitely cause him trouble!
Gritting his teeth, Shendao clenched his right hand into a claw, increasing the pressure on the spirit dragon.
“Boom…”
The entire underground lair shook violently, debris flying.
The spirit dragon, deeply embedded in the rock wall, continued to emit furious roars.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A series of explosive sounds erupted.
Shendao’s clawed right hand trembled slightly as the force he applied to the spirit dragon reached its peak.
At this moment, from Fang Yu’s perspective, the spirit dragon was no longer visible.
Given the spirit dragon’s previous actions, Fang Yu could only feel schadenfreude.
Evil must be tempered by evil.
The spirit dragon being punished now was well-deserved.
If possible, Fang Yu would never want to help this irritable yet incredibly resilient spirit dragon.
But he had no choice; he had to deal with Shendao, or his trip to the Extreme North would be in vain.
Currently, Shendao was radiating high-intensity spiritual energy.
If he could use the Devour Spirit technique to absorb it, the effect would be extraordinary.
However, Fang Yu was not in a hurry.
He was well aware of how resilient the spirit dragon’s body was.
Even he found it difficult to inflict substantial damage on the spirit dragon, let alone Shendao, who relied solely on spiritual energy.
He could see that Shendao was struggling now.
If it weren’t for the recent absorption of that origin, granting him an endless supply of spiritual energy, Shendao would have long since collapsed.
If Shendao continued to stalemate with the spirit dragon, it would only weaken himself.
Fang Yu just needed to quietly watch the show from the sidelines.
If Shendao remained oblivious to this, Fang Yu would effortlessly take him down later.
At this moment, Shendao’s mind was beginning to waver.
According to his expectations, the entire body of the spirit dragon should have completely collapsed by now.
But the reality was that despite pushing his techniques to the limit, he still couldn’t kill this guardian spirit!
The vitality and resilience of this creature far exceeded Shendao’s imagination!
“How is this possible? I have completed the deficiencies of this body, and my realm is nearing the Transformation Stage! How can I not deal with a guardian spirit!?”
Shendao was shocked internally.
At this moment, he turned to look at Fang Yu, seeing the mocking smile on Fang Yu’s face.
It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Shendao’s heart skipped a beat, and he calmed down considerably.
He realized that after gaining such powerful strength in a short time, his mindset had become a bit inflated.
The current priority should be to focus on Fang Yu!
As for the guardian spirit, there was no need to get entangled with it!
After calming down, Shendao immediately retracted his right hand, lifting the spell he had cast on the spirit dragon.
“Roar…”
From within the rock wall, the spirit dragon immediately let out an angry roar as it lost its restraints.
Shendao no longer cared about the spirit dragon and turned to face Fang Yu.
“You reacted so quickly?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Fang Yu, I will refine you into my human avatar,” Shendao said coldly.
“And I will treat you as a spiritual vein,” Fang Yu replied with a smile.
As the two spoke, the extremely furious spirit dragon was breaking free from the rock wall.
It charged through the rock wall, causing the entire underground lair to collapse completely.
Falling debris increased in number and speed.
A semi-transparent shield rose around Shendao.
As the falling debris touched this shield, it was instantly reduced to ashes.
“Fang Yu, I will make you feel true despair,” Shendao said to Fang Yu, slapping his right palm.
…
The tremors underground also affected the entire mountain range.
Su Lengyun was trying to restore the chaotic true energy within her body but found it impossible!
“Brother Yu…”
Su Lengyun looked toward the cave entrance, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
The strange person from earlier had brought her an immense sense of pressure; he was the strongest person she had ever encountered.
Not long after Fang Yu went down, there were already booming sounds, and now it felt like the mountain was collapsing.
What on earth was happening below the cave?
Su Lengyun clutched her chest, gritting her teeth as she stood up.
The entire mountain range was shaking violently.
No matter what, she had to leave this place first.
It was at least several hundred meters to the surface, and to descend, she had to fly using her qi!
“Poof!”
Su Lengyun attempted to circulate her true energy, only to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Her meridians were in complete disarray, making it impossible for her to support herself in flight.
“Boom!”
At that moment, the ground shook violently again.
Su Lengyun lost her balance and fell once more into the thick snow.
