My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration
chapter-342

Looking at the golden figure of Ba Xia, it immediately broke the Nine Nether roots on its body.

With a swing of its tail, it threw the Bloodthirsty Trident and the yaksha clone out.

Only the huge snake formed by the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame clung tightly to the other party’s body and was not easily dispersed by the golden dragon soul.

However, the Ba Xia Dragon Soul was a powerful ancient variant beast to begin with. Its origins were extremely extraordinary, and ordinary Immortals and Gods were probably far inferior to it.

Even though it had already lost most of its strength and was only left with a fragment, barely surviving, this dragon soul that had existed since ancient times was the most tenacious portion tempered by time, and its tenacity far exceeded Jiang Li’s expectations.

Even the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame that had advanced once and had always been successful in dealing with souls could only wear it down bit by bit. In a short period of time, it would at most feel pain, and it was utterly impossible to heavily injure it, let alone completely kill it.

After the Ba Xia Dragon Soul absorbed the other dragon bone remnant souls in the ruin, it became even braver.

As it released a long-standing dragon roar, it collided with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li condensed a Sword Heart Light Sword and slashed out a flying sword that landed on Ba Xia’s tortoise shell from afar.

The Sword Heart Slash was directly shattered into specks of white light and vanished.

Only a shallow mark was left on the tortoise shell.

Jiang Li’s Sword Heart was utterly unable to deal with an existence of this level.

He did not continue to fight. His figure floated back and raised his hand to point at the sky. A Golden Core sun divided into Yin and Yang. Dark clouds surged out from within, and then a large amount of lightning struck Ba Xia like rain.

Then, beast roars sounded. The blood-colored hundred beasts and the Asura Statue surged out from the Five Elements Sword Mountain and rushed towards Ba Xia with killing intent.

The Thousand Hands Divine Statue that was half Buddha and half Demon appeared on the path that Ba Xia had to pass through. The Thousand Hands behind the Divine Statue clone continuously slapped out. Every time it struck down, a bitter world or chaotic will would be sent into Ba Xia’s body, polluting its dragon soul.

This was a tragic battle in the mental world. Jiang Li’s accumulation over such a long time was not useless!

He used all his methods, greatly slowing down the shining Ba Xia’s speed.

This spurt of energy would weaken again and again.

After experiencing the passage of time, even if the remnant soul looked ferocious now, it was still an arrow at the end of its flight.

By the time it broke through the layers of obstructions and finally crawled into the interior of the Five Elements Sword Mountain, the light on its body had already dimmed greatly.

Jiang Li hid in the distance and observed it carefully, and he noticed that the expression in its eyes was already slightly unclear.

Its soul only had a little bit left to begin with. After being tortured by Jiang Li, its rationality was disappearing bit by bit.

This made it easier for Ba Xia’s remnant soul to make wrong decisions.

Ba Xia was anxious. It wanted to find Jiang Li and devour him as soon as possible.

However, after breaking through layers of obstructions, its eyes were attracted by a large golden ball of light that floated in the center of the Five Elements Sword Mountain.

It was something that was protected at the core like the moon surrounded by stars. It was supported by a gorgeous and clean lotus platform, and it emitted a shocking and familiar aura fluctuation.

Dragon Pearl!

“Hahaha! No wonder this kid has such pure dragon qi on him. So he still has a Dragon Pearl hidden on him.”

“Hahaha, the heavens are really helping our Dragon Race! With the help of this Dragon Pearl, I, the Sixth Son, can recover a little.”

A golden light flashed across its entire body, sending the dozen or so demon beasts that were still biting its body flying. The entire tortoise transformed into a golden light and darted into the Dragon Pearl.

“Hahahaha! It’s indeed the Dragon Pearl!”

“Hahaha! Human junior, I see that you’re fated to be with my Dragon Race. How about this? You leave this body yourself. In the future, I’ll find a flood dragon egg and personally reincarnate you. Then, you’ll follow me as my subordinate. I guarantee you’ll enjoy all the glory.”

After entering the Dragon Pearl, the power inside allowed the injuries on Ba Xia to recover. Its aura rose, and its originally blurry rationality began to occupy the high ground again.

The original dragon soul was already difficult for Jiang Li to resist. Now that it obtained the Dragon Pearl, it was even more powerful. Ba Xia believed that victory was already in its grasp.

It suggested to Jiang Li again that as long as he left his body on his own, it would give him another body with excellent talent.

However, soon, Ba Xia, who had recovered its rationality, felt that something was amiss.

This was indeed the Dragon Pearl. Although it had already been refined by someone, it believed that with its methods as one of the Nine Sons of the Ancestral Dragon, it was not difficult to control this Dragon Pearl.

However, the power that surged into its body gave him a very strange feeling.

It did not seem to be ordinary spiritual qi, but a product mixed with some other force.

It was powerful, but it could not control it at all.

At this moment, Ba Xia already felt that something was wrong.

Before it could react, the petals of the lotus platform that was originally dragging under the Dragon Pearl suddenly began to close. Layers of transparent petals tightly wrapped around the Dragon Pearl and also locked Ba Xia’s dragon soul inside the Dragon Pearl.

Four more Golden Cores or Blood Cores flew over and slowly rotated around the lotus platform Dragon Pearl like satellites. The four forces acted together and formed an indestructible binding.

At this moment, how could Ba Xia not know that this Dragon Pearl was simply a trap set by that human junior?

“Hahaha! Kid! Do you think you can trap me like this? When I get out, you won’t even have the chance to beg for mercy.”

Ba Xia was abnormally angry and began to collide with the Dragon Pearl.

With the terrifying brute force of the Sixth Son of the Ancestral Dragon, Jiang Li’s Golden Core shook violently from the collision.

It was not easy to be knocked away by him.

However, if such a force was used for a long time, even the most tenacious Golden Core would probably be injured.

Jiang Li’s Golden Core had just been formed. He did not want it to be damaged like this.

“Master Dragon, since you like the Dragon Pearl, why don’t you stay inside for a while?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright flame appeared under the Dragon Pearl.

At this moment, Ba Xia, the Sixth Son of the Ancestral Dragon could not remain calm.

“What? Human Fire! How can there be Human Fire! This is impossible! You’re really a descendant of the Human Emperor!”

It was hard to imagine hearing such a sharp cry from such a huge tortoise.

There were not many people who knew a legendary flame like the Human Fire, but it was famous in ancient times.

This was especially true when the orthodox Human Emperor was alive. The Human Fire could even unleash a power that could shock the heavens and earth.

With the fire of the humans burning in the capital, there was a saying that immortals and gods could not enter Zhaoge1.

As a result, if they wanted to overthrow the Shang Dynasty, they could only use the method of stirring up the war between the humans.

Now that it was used by Jiang Li, its might was naturally less than a millionth of the Human Emperor’s. However, it still had the ability to burn Ba Xia’s remnant soul until it rolled on the ground.

“Hahaha! Let me out quickly. Kid, let me out quickly! I don’t want your body anymore. Let me out quickly.”

Inside the Dragon Pearl, Ba Xia’s four huge feet seemed to be stepping on red-hot iron. It continuously raised them in turns as if it was dancing, and before long, it began to admit defeat.

However, for the sake of dealing with it, Jiang Li had even taken out his Golden Core to take a risk, so how could he let it go easily?

“Master Dragon, your tortoise shell looks good. It’s spacious and sturdy. It’s useless to leave it like this anyway…”

“Hahaha, it’s for you. I’ll give it to you. I’ll teach you a chant. Little friend, feel free to keep this tortoise shell!”

“I admire Master Dragon’s generosity. However, there were originally quite a number of dragon corpses in this tortoise shell. Now, they’ve all turned to dust. How do you plan to compensate me?”

With the initiative in hand, Jiang Li started to push his luck.

“Hahaha… Little brother is fated to be with my Dragon Race. I have a Dao Technique passed down by the Ancestral Dragon here. Little brother, please accept this and definitely bring the Dragon Race to greater heights.”

The Dao Technique left behind by the Ancestral Dragon!

Jiang Li’s eyes were about to light up. Clearly, this was a huge surprise to him.

He made a few more requests in succession. Ba Xia suppressed its anger and agreed to them one by one.

However, this huge tortoise was not an idiot. It agreed to many conditions, but it was unwilling to fulfill them directly. It had to let Jiang Li release it before it was willing to hand it over.

Of course, it was very easy to talk to it now. He reckoned that Ba Xia would eat Jiang Li as soon as it came out to vent its anger.

“Hahaha! Kid, let me out quickly. That’s the cultivation method and secret treasure left behind by the Ancestral Dragon. It’s enough for you to ascend to the Immortal Realm within a hundred years. If you burn me to death here, you won’t be able to obtain anything!”

The light on Ba Xia’s body had long dissipated, and its four feet were showing signs of melting.

Refining this remnant soul of Ba Xia in the Dragon Pearl Golden Core would actually allow Jiang Li to obtain great benefits.

However, compared to the Ancestral Dragon Dao Technique and secret treasure ruin revealed by the other party, it was obviously much inferior.

Jiang Li showed a look of hesitation and struggled. In the end, he did not overcome the greed in his heart and was prepared to believe Ba Xia and release him.

“Master Dragon, you won’t lie to me, right?”

“Hahaha, Little Brother, don’t worry. You have the Human Fire to protect you. I can’t injure you at all.”

“Moreover, my remnant soul can’t leave the stone monument. If you regret it, you can burn me to death with the fire. I won’t complain.”

When Ba Xia saw Jiang Li waver, it immediately continued to persuade him.

“Alright, I have one last condition.”

“Hahaha, say it…”

Ba Xia held back and only hoped to escape first.

“I once cultivated a Spirit Summoning Technique. It’s said that once I master it, I can invite a god to possess me.”

“However, I’ve always only invited lonely ghosts and small demons in the wilderness. Now that I’ve encountered a Divine Dragon, I wonder if Master Dragon can cooperate with me to execute it once?”

“It won’t take long. Let me experience it for two hours.”

Jiang Li made his last request, and then he started to execute the Spirit Summoning Technique on the spot.

A golden bridge appeared in Jiang Li’s consciousness and landed on his Golden Core. As long as Ba Xia agreed to enter, it would be able to leave the Golden Core that trapped it.

“Hahaha, impolite kid. This Spirit Summoning Technique only borrows strength, but it doesn’t give me the chance to control the body.”

“Hahaha, with your little cultivation, it’s fine if you suppress the lonely ghosts. If you want to subdue me, hmph, there’s nothing you can do!”

As Ba Xia thought this, it took a step forward and stepped on the golden bridge.

In the next moment, it was guided out by the golden bridge, and then chains bound it before starting to extract strength from the soul.

What Jiang Li used was clearly an unfair Spirit Summoning Technique. Typically, only ghosts domesticated by cultivators would agree to such a treatment and lend their strength.

If not for Ba Xia being in a hurry to leave the Dragon Pearl burned by the fire, he would definitely not have agreed to this Spirit Summoning Technique.

This Ba Xia was thinking that it would agree to Jiang Li’s request first. After it went out, it would break free from the Spirit Summoning Technique and make him regret it. At that time, it would definitely make this kid know that the prestige of the Dragon Race was inviolable.

In Jiang Li’s consciousness, as Ba Xia struggled, the golden chains binding it began to break one after another.

It had only twisted its butt three times, but Jiang Li’s Spirit Summoning Technique was about to collapse.

However, at this moment, the chains that represented the Spirit Summoning Technique suddenly recovered to their original state and became unshakable. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to escape at all.

The sudden change confused Ba Xia’s remnant soul.

This Spirit Summoning Technique was not brilliant at all. The person who used it had a soul that was far inferior to it.

In the beginning, this Spirit Summoning Technique’s binding was no different from paper. It could be broken in a few moves.

But what happened now?

Why was it that no matter how it struggled, it could not destroy the fragile Spirit Summoning Technique?

It was finally panicking. What kind of divine technique was this? Was it unbreakable?

This was the dignified Sixth Son of the Ancestral Dragon, it could not be reduced to a tool used by humans, right?

“Hahaha! Impossible! As long as it is the Spirit Summoning Technique, there will definitely be an end! I, Master Dragon, will definitely go out one day!”

As long as Jiang Li was unwilling, this Spirit Summoning Technique would probably never end.

It was not until this moment that Jiang Li, who was in Ba Xia’s tortoise shell, finally opened his eyes.

Feeling the raw strength that had directly doubled, he was abnormally satisfied.

This was Jiang Li’s true goal.

Although the Human Fire could injure Ba Xia, the amount of fire was still too small. If he really waited to refine the dragon soul, his Golden Core would also be injured.

As for the other conditions that Ba Xia agreed to, he did not dare to dream about it for the time being.

Earlier, this huge tortoise had caused a commotion. Jiang Li’s consciousness space was now in chaos.

The few clones were all heavily injured and could not engage in soul combat for a short period of time.

He could not take the initiative to send the Human Fire out of his Golden Core and injure the enemy. Once he released this huge tortoise, Jiang Li would no longer have the capital to negotiate.

Only by finding a way to trap and completely restrain it would Jiang Li have the mood to think about other things.

The unfair Spirit Summoning Technique was what he relied on.

Jiang Li did not need two hours at all. As long as he was given a few seconds, he would be able to seal this huge tortoise within the Spirit Summoning Technique forever.
