King of Creation-Chapter 650 - 642: The Method of Passing Through the Spatial Barrier
Chapter 650: Chapter 642: The Method of Passing Through the Spatial Barrier
This five-mile-long "earth wall" that materialized out of thin air astonished Ye Zhen so much that his eyeballs nearly popped out.
"This ability...."
"Ah!"
Before Ye Zhen could fully revel in his surprise, his vision darkened abruptly as he clutched his head and let out a wretched scream. As he collapsed to the ground, the ’earth wall’ that had just appeared out of nowhere crumbled into specks of earthen yellow radiance and dissipated into the air.
Enduring the waves of sleepiness washing over him, Ye Zhen stirred the last vestiges of his Divine Sense and entered the Demon Soul Hall hanging in front of his chest. He enveloped the imprisoned Demon Spirit Phantom within the hall in his Divine Sense.
A normally effortless task, as easy as drinking water or breathing, was extraordinarily difficult at this moment.
Ye Zhen felt like he was moving at a snail’s pace, exhausting all his effort just to send a single ordinary Demon Spirit Phantom into the Mirage Dragon Pearl. If it weren’t for his strong willpower, Ye Zhen would have given in to sleep several times. A good sleep would have restored the just-depleted Divine Soul Power.
But if he truly fell asleep in this Secret Realm of Demon Souls, perhaps Ye Zhen would never wake up again.
The moment the Demon Spirit Phantom was transferred into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, a turn of brilliance within the pearl and an extremely chilly power surged directly from the Mirage Dragon Pearl in Ye Zhen’s chest to his Soul Sea.
Like rain after a long drought, the overwhelming urge to sleep, the darkening vision, the splitting headache, and all other ailments were thoroughly alleviated by the influx of this cooling power.
Ye Zhen didn’t dare to stop; he drove his Divine Sense and extracted ten ordinary Demon Spirit Phantoms from the Demon Soul Hall. Ye Zhen’s depleted Divine Soul Power began to recover rapidly.
When Ye Zhen first arrived in the True Spirit Domain, he collected nearly a thousand Demon Spirit Phantoms from the Secret Realm of Demon Souls, most of which were ordinary phantoms, a minority were Soul Generals, and among them was a king of Demon Spirit Phantoms—the Soul Marshal.
Later, to quickly enhance his Divine Soul Cultivation, Ye Zhen used more than half of these Phantoms, elevating his Divine Soul Cultivation to the Divine Soul Fifth Realm in a short period.
The other Demon Spirit Phantoms remained imprisoned in the Demon Soul Hall.
As for the reason for their imprisonment, it was precisely for situations like today.
Demon Spirit Phantoms are the only treasure Ye Zhen has found so far that can directly enhance or restore Divine Soul Power. Yes, a treasure, even if it requires the refining of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Whenever Divine Soul Power is overexerted, it can swiftly restore Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation.
However, Ye Zhen had always been very careful. Once the Divine Soul Power was overexerted, he was cautious in utilizing his Divine Soul Power.
But today, in an attempt to test the Goldback Stone Beast King’s Talent Ability and unaware of the consequences, he stretched his Divine Sense too far, and in an instant, that five-mile-long wall of earth—solely composed of Earth Spiritual Power—caused a violent depletion of Divine Soul Power and nearly exhausted it completely, almost sending him to a deep sleep.
This forced him to use the Demon Spirit Phantoms that he had been reluctant to touch; after all, each use meant one less available. Ye Zhen’s current stock was just about four hundred, with ninety percent being ordinary Demon Spirit Phantoms.
After consuming nearly twenty ordinary Demon Spirit Phantoms, Ye Zhen restored about forty percent of his Soul Power in the Soul Sea. Only then did he relax and wiped away his cold sweat with lingering fear.
He had almost perished unwittingly.
However, the next moment, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on Ye Zhen’s face.
The recent experiment had finally allowed Ye Zhen to understand the Goldback Stone Beast King’s Talent Ability.
It turned out to be the control over Earth Spiritual Power!
Control!
That’s how Ye Zhen understood it.
This ability to directly invoke Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was said to be exclusive to Establishment Kings. Ye Zhen, far from reaching the Establishment Realm, didn’t have a clear understanding.
But through the Goldback Stone Beast King’s Talent Ability, Ye Zhen had some insight into the strength of this ability and, perhaps, the strength of Establishment Kings.
In some respects, having this Talent Ability or breaking through to the Establishment Realm would exponentially increase one’s endurance in battle.
Furthermore, the power of Martial Skills would also increase exponentially. After all, the Spiritual Power within one’s body is limited, while Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is virtually infinite.
The next instant, an earth wall nearly two meters tall and one meter wide unexpectedly sprung up in front of Ye Zhen, like a thick shield, with its thickness still increasing.
In less than half a breath’s time, the thickness had exceeded five inches.
As long as Ye Zhen willed it, this heavy Earth Spirit Shield could change its size, shape, and position at will. Most importantly, it didn’t consume a shred of Ye Zhen’s Spiritual Power, only his Divine Soul Power, and the shield’s defensive capability could vary as desired.
After over one hour, Ye Zhen had almost mastered the Goldback Stone Beast King’s control over Earth Spiritual Power. As long as he managed the range, the consumption of Divine Soul Power was quite limited.
Another key point was that the closer to the ground, the stronger the Goldback Stone Beast King’s Earth Spirit Power control was. When Ye Zhen stood on the ground, he could even instantly condense an Earth Spirit Shield a meter thick. This must be related to the distribution of the Five Elements; the ground is where Earth Spiritual Power is most abundant and active.
In the sky, the effect was much weaker. Of course, it would be excellent for saving one’s life in critical moments, adding a powerful layer of protection on top of the Protective Spirit Armor.
Over an hour later, Ye Zhen mounted the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and, under the starlight, set off once more. He currently only possessed two Trial Tokens and still needed to find one more to pass the trial.
Yet, with five and a half days remaining, Ye Zhen believed that even with the worst luck, he would be able to find the third Trial Token.
However, two days later, Ye Zhen’s confidence began to waver. freёweɓnovel.com
Having searched the Trial Secret Realm for two days and nights to no avail, Ye Zhen hadn’t achieved anything.
It wasn’t that Ye Zhen was unlucky but that he couldn’t find any Demon Beasts at all.
All the Demon Beasts, whether they were Heavenly Level High Grade, Heavenly Level Middle Grade, or Heavenly Level Lower Grade, avoided him from afar—at a distance of dozens of miles from Ye Zhen.
And it wasn’t just one or two beasts avoiding him; all beasts within dozens of miles centered around Ye Zhen kept their distance, offering no opportunity for him.
Even when Ye Zhen applied multiple enhancements to the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to surge its speed to around 20,000 miles in an instant, at best, he could catch up to only one or two Heavenly Level Demon Beasts.
The Spirit Wisdom of the Demon Beasts was fully demonstrated here; as Ye Zhen pursued them, they would scatter and run. Even if the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten under Ye Zhen’s command was incredibly fast, after catching one or two, the rest of the beasts would vanish without a trace.
Basically, the one or two Demon Beasts he managed to chase down were unlikely to carry the Trial Token.
It was at this point that Ye Zhen realized the parting words from the old ancestor of the Demon Race, although having reduced many dangers for Ye Zhen, also made the chances of obtaining Trial Tokens exceedingly slim.
Fortunately, there was still the option to snatch Trial Tokens from other forces’ Trial Martial Artists. Yet, Ye Zhen’s luck continued to be poor for the past two days, as he hadn’t encountered a single Trial Martial Artist.
This had something to do with the vast expanse of the Trial Secret Realm. However, Ye Zhen was beginning to feel anxious as half the trial period had already passed, and he urgently needed to find the third Trial Token.
Ye Zhen hadn’t found the third Trial Token yet, but he had come across the Space Barrier unique to the Trial Secret Realm that Feng Qingyue had mentioned.
Ye Zhen unexpectedly collided with this Space Barrier while chasing a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beast.
Were it not for the highly intelligent Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten abruptly coming to a rapid halt tens of meters away from the barrier, dramatically decelerating its pace.
Otherwise, colliding with a transparent Space Barrier at a speed of 20,000 miles in two hours would have had horrific consequences; Ye Zhen surmised that even if it didn’t kill him, he would’ve been perilously close to death.
On the other side was a picturesque scene of birds singing amidst the fragrance of flowers, with long grass and orioles flying around. Ye Zhen even spotted two or three pieces of precious Spirit Grass at a glance, yet he couldn’t get through, no matter how he tried.
Ye Zhen attempted various methods, and even his skill in breaking barriers, the Floating Cloud Finger, was of no use against this barrier—his attack producing merely a ripple.
Ye Zhen couldn’t get in himself, but perhaps a Demon Beast could?
However, this attempt was declared a failure before it even began, as the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten had already bumped into the barrier before.
And, dozens of miles away, Ye Zhen could only watch as several Heavenly Level Demon Beasts leisurely entered and exited the barrier. Every time Ye Zhen thought it was due to the location and rushed over, he still couldn’t get through.
The curiosity for what’s unattainable is always the strongest. At that moment, Ye Zhen pondered deeply in front of the Space Barrier, unaware of what he might find inside but desperately eager to enter.
High above, Ye Zhen cast his gaze as far as he could see. In the distance, along the Space Barrier, numerous Demon Beasts were freely moving in and out. Occasionally, one or two juvenile Earth Level Monster Beasts, playing around, would burst out, followed swiftly by powerful Heavenly Level Demon Beasts roaring and blasting them back in.
This indicated that entering the Space Barrier was not related to Cultivation level.
So what was entry to this Space Barrier related to?
Ye Zhen thought of two words—indigenous!
It must be Demon Beasts born here, or those granted special permission, that could enter.
Clearly, Ye Zhen didn’t qualify in either case and normally wouldn’t be able to enter.
But then, Ye Zhen considered a possibility.
Could the Goldback Stone Beast King move freely in and out of the Space Barrier?
Although the Goldback Stone Beast King was dead, Ye Zhen possessed its Essence Spirit Pearl and could recreate almost all other aspects, including the aura and even Divine Soul Waves, using the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Goldback Stone Beast King.
The next moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense swiftly plunged into the Mirage Dragon Pearl containing the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Goldback Stone Beast King. As Divine Sense moved, Spiritual Power circulated, and Ye Zhen’s appearance suddenly began to change.
After a few breaths, a mountain-like Goldback Stone Beast King abruptly materialized on the ground.
Roar!
A low roar, a tilting of the head, and then this Goldback Stone Beast King smashed headfirst into the Space Barrier! (To be continued.
