Chapter 767: Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl

The Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade’s head was finally revealed. Like an enlarged bee, it had two big black eyes, which were now trained on Xia Fei.

Xia Fei had never seen such cold and sinister eyes before. With a head the size of a small mountain, its eyes took up roughly 90% of its size; this creature even lacked any mouth or nose!

Aside from the two very nonconforming eyes, there was a round, especially eye-catching, crystal-clear pearl right between its two eyes, looking very much like a precious gem as it glinted temptingly.

“Xia Fei, you must obtain that pearl! Turns out it’s a complete Divine Beast! You must obtain that pearl on its head at any cost! It’ll be greatly beneficial to you!” the old demon lord said with utmost urgency.

Xia Fei was slightly startled. He did not foolishly rush over according to what Oro said; instead, he used his physical agility and speed to hide in the darkness, searching for the appropriate moment to strike.

This was the first time the Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade had revealed its head, and this only aroused the wariness of the ever-cautious Xia Fei. Mistake was the greatest enemy to every warrior. Thus, only after he got a good sense of what the monster was capable of would Xia Fei make his move.

“Is that pearl really that important?” Xia Fei asked quizzically as he moved at high speeds. He had just absorbed a Law Overlord, and if not for Oro’s sharp insistence, Xia Fei would let this Divine Beast off and would, instead, find somewhere quiet to digest the colorful bead of energy in his head properly.

“It’s not merely important; it’s very important!” Oro said urgently. “Just like how Furball needs to transform nine times before he can be officially considered an adult, all Divine Beasts and also Holy Beasts need to undergo a long evolutionary process, too. The moment one succeeds, the brain of that beast will form a singularly unique pearl called the Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl!”

‘Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl! What a very domineering name!’ Xia Fei thought to himself, his eyes inadvertently drawn toward that eye-catching Heavenly Pearl.

“Haha! You’ve really picked up a real prize this time! The Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl will only form once a Divine Beast fully matures. It’ll only be the size of a sesame seed at first, without any unique function, but as time goes by, the Heavenly Pearl will grow in size and gain special traits unique to a Divine Beast. Take Furball for example; the moment Furball is done with his evolution, he will gain a Heavenly Pearl that symbolizes his boundless energy, as the Holy Beast Shatterstar’s body itself is that of an energy-type Holy Beast.

“As for this Divine Beast, its traits ought to be sturdiness. Look at how big and bright that pearl on its head is. Who knows how many tens of thousands of years it took to get to that size? If you obtain that Heavenly Pearl, then you’ll gain a substantial increase in your physical strength! You’re a speed warrior, which makes it even more important to get a stronger body to assist you! So I’m telling you that you must obtain that Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl, for it will be of immense help to you!”

Xia Fei nodded. It was evident that the Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade had an impressively resilient body, and even a hundred over Demon Race warriors attacking it together was not enough to harm even a strand of its hair. This was more than enough to prove the sturdiness of its body.

“If you use that peculiar law power of yours, you’ll surely be able to destroy it!” Oro excitedly exclaimed.

Xia Fei was expressionless. Given how powerful this Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl was, in accordance with the theory of price that Xia Fei stubbornly followed, it would be a worthy score to obtain it even if he risked his life!

With that thought in mind, Xia Fei no longer hesitated. The tip of his toe lightly tapped the ground as he went dashing over with a superspeed of one hundred twenty thousand meters per second!

“Falling Leaves of Twin Decimation!”

He used his most lethal technique upon engagement!

Both his two hands evoked Falling Leaves of Autumn’s Demise, which was a powerful move containing the Law of Primal Chaos!

Xia Fei was very treacherous!

His two palms had very lightly slapped the two large eyes of that Divine Beast!

He intended to rob the creature of its sight!

*Kaboom*

Alas, this was when something absolutely unimaginable happened!

Conventionally speaking, the eyes would be the weakest point for any intelligent lifeform, but the Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade’s eyes had been strengthened to ridiculous heights!

The force from the Law of Primal Chaos seemed to be obstructed by something, and it failed to penetrate through and strike into the Divine Beast’s innards and inflict destruction from within!

‘What?’

Xia Fei was absolutely floored. He took two steps backward and lowered his head to look at his two hands. He simply could not make sense of what had just happened. The move he did was the same from before, and the force he applied was even the mysterious Law of Primal Chaos. Why did his twin attacks appear as if they had struck sponge, softening in an instant?

The Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade was still moving at high speeds without any signs of stopping, and Xia Fei’s attack only made it even more infuriated. Unfortunately, this enemy was even craftier than a loach, and it was not something this creature could defeat by relying solely on its huge size. If the Blackscaled Axeblade wanted to deal with Xia Fei, it would have to first train its physical agility and speed more.

Xia Fei’s two eyes glazed coldly. Just as he strengthened his resolve not to give up, a very curious thought came to his mind.

“Again!”

“Whoosh*

It was the same move, with the same law force as before. Xia Fei attempted to ruin the eyes of that Divine Beast again!

He was not about to give up without achieving his goal. Xia Fei had made up his mind to see just how many blows this monster’s eyes could withstand!

Furball was letting out wild roars in his excitement, while Peacock Blue was dancing as if it was possessed!

Xia Fei, with his two biggest aides, unleashed a wild assault on the Divine Beast, wreaking painful torment!

An astonishing sight unfolded. The Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade was unable to harm Xia Fei, nor could the creature withstand the relentless assault being mounted on it. Thus, it turned around and began to flee in the direction of the heart of the earth!

Xia Fei used Peacock Blue to grab a hold of the Divine Beast, sitting himself on top of its head as he thrust one palm after another relentlessly!

A man, a weed, and a ball madly whaled on the Divine Beast!

*Boom*

The Law of Primal Chaos was ultimately a force that subverted all. The Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade could resist a wave of attacks, but it did not mean that this creature could bear a hundred or a thousand of Xia Fei’s repeated beating!

*Plunk*

The huge head fell to the ground. Due to Xia Fei’s relentless attacks, as if someone had plunged tens of thousands of blades into the skull with an awl, the creature’s head became peppered with thousands of holes, from which thick black blood flowed out!

*Squelch!*

The Blood Crystal stabbed into Blackscaled Axeblade’s eye and rapidly began draining the creature of its last life force!

The over-a-hundred-mile-long body began to shrink in size rapidly!

Surge!

The sensation of the energy gushing out surged without equal!

Xia Fei began to take this Divine Beast as sacrifice after only recently draining a Law Overlord!

The terrain around him was very strange, making it seem like he was in the core of this planet. A huge black stone pillar, filled with green fragmented stones, gave off a faint pulsating light, looking like fireflies dancing in the darkness of night during summer.

This stone pillar was colossal, with a long underground river flowing past it that had white foam churning, looking like a scene from a magical wonderland.

Xia Fei did not waste any time appreciating his mysterious surroundings, though. After absorbing so much energy, he urgently needed to expend the surplus. Otherwise, it could cause his body to explode from all the energy!

Ever since he gained the ability to absorb people’s energy, the speed at which Xia Fei got promoted had greatly increased. The only problem was that he was clueless on how to store the excess energy after absorbing it, for the cramped seventh brain region was unable to take in too much at once. Thus, it became an imperative for Xia Fei to refine the energy the moment he absorbed it.

*Snap*

Xia Fei pried off the Heavenly Beast Spirit Pearl from the Divine Beast’s head and placed it into his spatial ring. He looked around with his two eyes. As a successor of assassins, Xia Fei was well-versed in searching for the most suitable hiding spot in any unfamiliar location, and this time, he still managed to pick up the most secluded yet complex spot in this place.

Surrounded by countless of strange rocks that offered him cover, Xia Fei was like a ghost as he lingered amid rock fragments. With his Breath Control activated, he became one with his surroundings. It could even be said that he was now part rock fragment, part air, and part of nature itself.

Though his body blended with nature well, there were no signs of the energy in his head stopping. The energy within his body right now was abundant with what he had gotten from both a Law Overlord and a Divine Beast. Thus, even though Xia Fei only got 30% of it and 70% went to the Blood Crystal, it was still an unimaginable amount of energy.

Calm his heart!

Steady his breathing!

Stay alert!

Control!

Every step was very natural. The moment Xia Fei refined this external energy, his innate ability to control energy became in full display.

Oro heaved a sigh. When he saw Xia Fei calmly letting this ocean-sized external energy flow through him, he could not help but feel somewhat depressed. The warrior profession relied on energy as the foundation, and Xia Fei’s control of energy was no doubt something that garnered jealousy and envy from others.

Silence.

It was as if time and space was detached from the external world, for this earth core Xia Fei was currently located in was so quiet it induced anxiety.

*Rumble*

Brilliant lights overflowed. The energy shining, which was like a holy glow, seemed to chase away all the darkness around Xia Fei, but it was very quickly absorbed by him.

‘Level 2 Law Emperor. Continue!’ Xia Fei made a mental note to himself.

After the improvement from the rapid promotion channel, Xia Fei was but a step away from getting promoted. Thus, when he calmed himself and focused on cultivation, he very quickly crossed the threshold and became a level 2 Law Emperor.

Every level of promotion through cultivation after this point was very difficult. Xia Fei did not move an inch, continuing to focus as he steadied his breathing, for there was still plenty of energy in his brain region. He was definitely not about to stop at level 2 Law Emperor.

……

*Rumble*

Another halo formed as Xia Fei got promoted consecutively, now a level 3 Law Emperor!

That colorful energy ball in his seventh brain region had already reduced in size, and was now much dimmer.

Though he had absorbed the energy from a Divine Beast and a Law Overlord, 70% of the energy went to the Blood Crystal while Xia Fei barely obtained 30%. Some losses in the process must be considered, which included the waste during his cultivation. Thus, the energy he had remaining was not enough to aid Xia Fei in reaching level 4.

A mere thirty-six hours had passed; being able to advance twice in such a short time could already be described as expeditious.

“You must be the only person in this world who depends on absorbing others’ energy to promote.” Oro shook his head as he mused over this.

Xia Fei exhaled and relaxed. He swept his gaze all around.

“What’s wrong about that? ‘You reap what you sow.’ Though I depend on devouring others to advance, all the energy is from the opponents I successfully kill.” Xia Fei shrugged his shoulders.

Searching through his bosom pocket, Xia Fei produced two spatial rings. One belonged to the Law Overlord Sezsny, while the other was still attached to a half severed finger, most likely belonging to that long dead expert, the Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade’s master. Neither Xia Fei nor even the demon lord Oro had any clue as to what level this unknown person was.

All they know is that he died from the backlash from the Law of Time, and this ring might very well contain the number one law power of the God Race, the Law of Time!

Forcibly resisting the urge to take a look inside the spatial ring, Xia Fei first sent his consciousness into Sezsny’s ring. As a Law Overlord from the Darkpearl Clan, there was sure to be plenty of good items in his hands. Over eight hundred precious grade 5 Origin Crystals were on his person alone, and while the rest of the trinkets he had were exquisite, nothing sparked Xia Fei’s interest, so he did not bother to examine them one by one.

Smiling, Xia Fei pulled out that half severed finger and sent his consciousness into the black spatial ring.

This was when Xia Fei heard the soft humming of a woman from deeper underground. The tune was strange yet familiar.

‘Is someone here?’ Xia Fei was slightly startled as he thought to himself.
