Fury Towards The Burning Heaven-Chapter 1684 - Heaven-Swallowing Beast Final Transformation
With Jiang Yi’s help, dispelling Netherworld Aura became very fast. He walked past many soldiers as he lightly laid a hand on each of them as a Xiaozhuan character shot out from his hand into these soldiers’ soul spirits. Just like that, all their Netherworld Aura was cleansed.
“Uh?”
Although all the soldiers had received orders from their Senior Captains that someone was going to help them cleanse their Netherworld Aura and for them not to be alarmed, many were just that. Some were almost on the verge of succumbing to the Netherworld Aura and were holding on bitterly; these men didn’t expect that one pass from Jiang Yi, and the Netherworld Aura was completely gone.
Almost ten thousand soldiers were present and their advance just now had been so ferocious; a majority of them were severely wounded or affected by the Netherworld Aura. Jiang Yi only managed to help hundreds of them in five minutes. He paused and frowned as he thought of a solution. A red pearl appeared in his hands as his divine senses swept inside, and he shouted, “Come out, Little Ferocious.”
Buzz!
A dark-gold small beast flew out. Little Ferocious blinked its eyes as it sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, you called me?”
“These mens’ soul spirits all have Netherworld Aura; help me to swallow all the Netherworld Aura inside them.”
Jiang Yi relayed his instruction. As the little beast was only a Primitive Spiritual Treasure spirit beast and wasn’t considered that precious, Yun Bing and company wouldn’t get greedy; no ordinary person would snatch the beast from him.
Swish!
The Heaven-Swallowing Beast transformed into a red light as it flew forward and directly entered one person’s brain. That person’s face changed and instinctively wanted to attack the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. Jiang Yi hurriedly cried out, “Don’t move; my beast is helping you to cleanse your Netherworld Aura and will not harm you.”
That man hesitated for a moment but finally chose not to resist. Little Ferocious spun about a round as it then shot out from his glabella and flew towards the next person. The Heaven-Swallowing Beasts’ devouring speed of the Netherworld Aura was very fast. That time in the Black Snow Sea, that Netherworld King’s clone’s Netherworld Aura had been swallowed whole by it, and that was how Jiang Yi had survived.
“Eh? The Netherworld Aura is all gone?”
The first person shouted in delight as everyone else looked at him and relaxed, allowing Little Ferocious to enter their soul spirits. After a few people had their Netherworld Aura cleansed and were fine, everyone finally settled down and also started to look at Jiang Yi differently.
The way Yun Bing looked at Jiang Yi changed slightly once more. She twitched her lips and sent a voice transmission: “Staff Captain Jiang, are you some powerful lord or elder’s illegitimate son? Why do you have so many treasures? You even have the extremely rare and precious Heaven-Swallowing Beast.”
“Bah!”
Jiang Yi sent back a voice transmission, slightly displeased: “General Yun, you can humiliate me, but please leave my parents out of this. I am quite lucky, and I pick up cardinal treasures wherever I go; is something wrong with that?”
Jiang Yi actually wanted to say that he also had a Heavenly Thearch Divine Weapon with him and if he took it out, even Yun Bing’s grandfather would have to kneel down. What was a mere Heaven-Swallowing Beast to him?
Of course, he could only silently think these thoughts. He didn’t have the balls to take out the Fire Dragon Sword at all. He had also taken out the Fire Spirit Pearl very carefully just now, hiding it within his sleeves and had kept it immediately after.
With the Heaven-Swallowing Beast assisting Jiang Yi, his job was much easier. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast’s speed was much faster than his; after tens of minutes, everyone’s Netherworld Aura had been purged.
“Let’s go!”
After resting for two hours, Yun Bing led the army and charged towards the Netherworld River Mountainous Region once again. This time, Jiang Yi was similarly by her side. At Yun Bing’s command, Jiang Yi had no choice but to control Little Ferocious out to help those martial artists at the front line to cleanse them of the Netherworld Aura.
After obeying his commands for a while, Little Ferocious actually called it quits. It flew back, looked at Jiang Yi, and sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, I am hungry. If there isn’t something nice to eat, I wouldn’t continue to help you.”
“…”
Jiang Yi did not have that many powerful burning flames left. He only had two balls left, and he couldn’t let them be eaten. His gaze shifted as he looked at General Yun and asked, “General Yun, do you have black rainstones, golden hearthstones, or Tian Qi flowers?”
“Nope!” Yun Bing glanced over and asked, “Why do you want these items?”
Jiang Yi pointed at Little Ferocious and said, “My spirit beast needs to eat; if it doesn’t eat, it won’t work. Could you ask if someone has these items? I will use divine roots to purchase them.”
Yun Bing sent a few orders down as the message soon spread to the entire army. In a few moments, thirty-odd black black rainstones and eighteen Tian Qi flowers were actually collected. However, no one had any golden hearthstones.
Creak-creak!
Little Ferocious cried out excitedly. Jiang Yi tossed a black rainstone and a Tian Qi flower to it as it devoured them quickly. After it finished eating, Jiang Yi chided it gently, “Little rascal, hurry up and do your job!”
Creak-creak!
Little Ferocious spun around the sky as it transformed into a red light and flew forward, helping each soldier to cleanse the Netherworld Aura within them. Jiang Yi’s gaze turned to Yun Bing and asked, “How much?”
“No need. They heard that the items were to be fed to the little beast, and they gave them for free.”
Yun Bing glanced over at the little beast flying here and there as she said seriously, “Staff Captain Jiang, you have to nurture this Heaven-Swallowing Beast well. It is said that a Heaven-Swallowing Beast can transform three times. Once it undergoes the Final Transformation, it would be no weaker than a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist.
“However… I remember that it is very difficult for the Heaven-Swallowing Beast to transform. Thousands of years ago, one great family clan had obtained one such Heaven-Swallowing Beast but it only managed to undergo the second transformation; that Heaven-Swallowing Beast was King-Ranked-equivalent only.”
“Thearch-Ranked?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He had figured that this Heaven-Swallowing Beast could become very powerful in the future; he did not expect it to be so powerful? However, hearing Yun Bing’s last sentence, Jiang Yi grew dejected again. If even a Heaven Domain great family clan couldn’t nurture a Heaven-Swallowing Beast to undergo the highest transformation, he would have no luck on his own.
…
With the Heaven-Swallowing Beast’s assistance, everyone ignored the Netherworld Aura and gave their all. Yun Bing also rendered her aid many times, allowing Jiang Yi to finally witness her battle prowess. This lass was fully equipped with cardinal treasures and had merged three quintessences together; she was very deadly.
The Flying Feather Army’s battle strength also deeply impressed Jiang Yi. He saw many mystical and incredible combined battle formations and also that many had cultivated the baneful aura, allowing their attacks to grow in strength.
Yun Bing floated back and saw that Jiang Yi was observing the troops while silently nodding his approval. Her mouth opened slightly as she said softly, “Staff Captain Jiang, although you’re a Staff Captain, you had only joined the Nine Yang Army for a short amount of time; you still are not qualified to cultivate the baneful aura or battle formations. Give it a month! However, if you continue to fight valiantly, I can make an exception and teach you earlier; do your best!”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help it but laugh as an old guqin appeared in his hand, and he played a single note on it. Harsh guqin music traveled towards Yun Bing, bringing with it a thick concentration of baneful aura; this baneful aura was no weaker than Yun Bing’s bodyguards’. Jiang Yi smiled slightly and said, “I had long figured this mystical ability out when I was little…”
“Uh?”
Yun Bing’s mouth was wide open. Although she had not been affected by this baneful aura, it was indeed present and very terrifying. Also, that guqin music probably could affect all who were not King-Ranked; this was a powerful group-attack mystical ability.
“Hur-Hur!”
Her face soon grew cold as she sneered. “What are you so proud of? Yours is the lowest-level baneful aura. If you have the fortune to participate in a huge battle, have a good look at the Nine Yang Army’s Baneful Aura Heaven Formation. This was something passed down from the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch and is very terrifying; you might even wet your pants from fear!”
“Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch?”
Jiang Yi’s heart skipped a beat. This lass was a Heavenly King’s granddaughter and was very familiar with the thirty-six Heavenly Kings. He could actually try to find out from her how loyal each of the thirty-six was to the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch. If all of them were absolutely loyal, he could then take out the Fire Dragon Sword at any time and take command of the Nine Yang Army.
