Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 504 - 501: Ghost Escape Talisman and the Netherworld Giant Wolf

Chapter 504 -501: Ghost Escape Talisman and the Netherworld Giant Wolf

Qin Feng had employed his escape technique to travel downward, and because the Rainbow Bridge directly penetrated space, the journey from the Midgard World to the Netherworld Death Kingdom of the lower realm didn’t actually take much time. This was the unique feature of the Rainbow Bridge.

Otherwise, given the towering height of the World Tree and the vast distance separating the three worlds, even if Qin Feng had flown nonstop, it would have taken days to traverse such a lengthy distance.

The Valkyrie girl warriors of the Divine Country often traveled between the two realms to select the souls of warriors from the battlefields. If it took them several days just to cross the Rainbow Bridge, by the time they descended from the Divine Country, the battlefields would likely have been cleared, leaving no souls for them to choose.

Hence, both Qin Feng and Luo Xiao felt that it hadn’t been long before they crossed through layers of space along the Rainbow Bridge and arrived in the Death Kingdom at the lowest level of the World Tree.

Initially, Qin Feng was somewhat worried that the giants might follow him down, so upon entering this land of death, he immediately transformed into a shadow and slipped into the darkness, concealing himself.

After all, though this kingdom belonged to the deceased, it was not devoid of life. In fact, at the very southernmost tip of the Lower World, there was a separate kingdom exclusively for the Fire Giants to inhabit—Muspelheim.

The Fire Giants who lived there were incredibly fierce, also part of the Giant Clan, except that their power attribute differed from that of the Frost Giants and Hill Giants of Jotunheim in the Midgard World.

But Qin Feng felt that there must be some connection between these different types of giants; otherwise, how could the Fire Giants join the giants from the Midgard World in crossing the Rainbow Bridge and launch an assault on the Divine Clan when the twilight of the gods occurred?

Therefore, Qin Feng carefully concealed himself, and it turned out that the giants did not follow. Instead, he ended up waiting for the still-arrogant Luo Xiao.

He didn’t know if Luo Xiao’s head had been scrambled by the giants, but he dared utter such words.

Since he sought vengeance against Qin Feng, and Qin Feng had no intention to let him go, he promptly summoned his spiritual beast, planning to resolve this matter completely here.

Whether the initial fault lay with one side or the other, now that they had established enmity, and Qin Feng had even taken Luo Xiao’s Netherworld Treasure Pearl and the bloodline-pure Ghost Dragon, even if he returned these items, Luo Xiao was unlikely to forgive him.

Moreover, he never considered the possibility of returning them.

Both the Ghost Dragon and the Netherworld Treasure Pearl were of great use to him; how could he possibly hand them back to his opponent?

Since neither party had any intention of letting the other go, it would be better to eliminate him while in the Otherworld, saving trouble when returning to Biluo later.

Upon seeing Qin Feng, Luo Xiao’s complexion changed drastically.

And as Qin Feng’s spiritual beasts continued to appear at his side, Luo Xiao’s face grew even uglier.

Previously, in dealing with that powerful giant, he had no energy left to pay attention to Qin Feng. He only vaguely sensed Qin Feng escaping from beneath that iceberg, never expecting that Qin Feng, like himself, would end up in the lower Netherworld.

He had arrived here along the Rainbow Bridge in a state of panic, seeing only the benefits of this Death Kingdom for himself. It was careless not to notice that Qin Feng had actually arrived here even earlier than he did.

“You…”

His throat felt dry, “I am a True Disciple of the Ten Direction Ghost City; do you really dare kill me without fearing the troubles you’ll bring upon your Beast Taming Sect?”

“Heh, heh…”

Qin Feng sneered, “There are plenty of True Disciples in the Ten Direction Ghost City; there’s more than one in Ghost Dragon City alone, let alone the other slots for this trial. The Ten Direction Ghost City has sent no fewer than a hundred or two disciples into the Five Higher Domains.

With so many disciples entering the higher worlds, do you really think you all can return safe and sound?

Moreover, as far as I know, the competition among the True Disciples of your Ghost Dragon City is vicious. If one dies, someone else will immediately take their place. It seems you’re not as precious as you make out.

Even if I killed you here, let alone no one knowing, even if your Sect elders found out, would Ghost Dragon City really enter the Southern Domain to settle scores with my Sect over you?”

With a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, Qin Feng continued, “Come on, don’t overestimate yourself. If it weren’t for this trial, you, Luo Xiao, wouldn’t be any different from the many generations of True Disciples in Ghost Dragon City.

Don’t hide behind the name of Ten Direction Ghost City. Not to mention the other nine Ghost Cities wouldn’t avenge you, I doubt even the Ghost Dragon City Lord would care about you; instead, they might find you useless, unable to survive a single trial, of what use are you then?

A disciple who dies in the Otherworld simply proves to be incompetent. With such a vast force as Ghost Dragon City, they can always select even more disciples from below to compete for the True Inheritance.”

After hearing Qin Feng’s speech, Luo Xiao was utterly confused.

He had always felt that he was a True Disciple of a Dominator-Level force, not bothering with other Sects, or otherwise he wouldn’t have been so wild in Lingxiao City, casually targeting other Cultivators.

Qin Feng and his companions were just one of the groups Luo Xiao had provoked. Most other Sect disciples chose to back down, only Qin Feng stood up to him directly, which is why he had such a profound impression of Qin Feng, immediately attacking without a word when they met on the Rainbow Bridge.

Hearing Qin Feng’s words, he realized that this place was not part of Biluo or any of its domains but rather a high-rank world deep within the cosmic void. Just as Qin Feng had said, if he died here, indeed no one would know what happened.

He was nothing more than a small True Disciple; dying during the trial was normal. Would the Ghost Dragon City Lord really go to the expense of asking a Golden Immortal Great Power skilled in calculating the Heavenly Mechanism’s destiny to deduce who killed him to avenge his death?

In fact, this time the major sects of the Five Domains had chosen to let their True Disciples enter the five high-rank worlds for the trial, knowing full well in their hearts that they were prepared for the possibility of heavy losses.

No matter how exceptional a disciple’s talent was, they were still a disciple, with limited cultivation. Dying in the trial of a high-rank world was to be expected.

However, none of the sects wanted to miss out on the chance to seize trial spots and have the possibility of their disciples becoming the Chosen Son.

The same was true for the participating disciples.

With standardized cultivation practices, who could guarantee that they would certainly achieve longevity, much less advancing to immortality and becoming a great power?

After realizing this, Luo Xiao’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Only now had he understood that this place was not Biluo. The disciples from all sects were going all out to compete for the chance to Prove Dao; even fellow sect members might become rivals. Who would care about his status at this point?

Therefore, after his surprise attack, Qin Feng didn’t leave him any dignity, not only snatching away his Netherworld Treasure Pearl but also suppressing his Ghost Dragon.

As they spoke, Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts gradually spread out, subtly surrounding him in a circle. Luo Xiao knew that Qin Feng was serious about killing him, intending to leave him here for good.

If he died in this world, really no one would know it was Qin Feng who had killed him.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiao immediately considered retreating.

Although he was proud and arrogant, and even now didn’t think his combat power was weaker than Qin Feng’s—especially after merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost, pushing his power close to Purple Mansion Peak—his own forces had been diminished. Not only had the Ghost Generals inside the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner been killed by Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts, but even his Ghost Dragon had been subdued by Qin Feng.

On the other hand, each of Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts was formidable in combat strength, and together they could attack in coordination. He couldn’t even defeat these Spiritual Beasts, let alone be on guard against Qin Feng’s surprise attacks.

If they truly fought, he was bound to lose!

So Luo Xiao turned to flee.

He had not considered making peace with Qin Feng. With the situation having progressed to this point, he didn’t believe the two could coexist peacefully.

Boom!

The White Dragon opened its mouth and emitted a breath of Dragon Breath, blocking his path of retreat.

Luo Xiao looked around at these surrounding Spiritual Beasts, frowning tightly, and finally, grinding his teeth, he took out another life-saving item: a Ghost Escape Talisman.

This was one of the rare escape-type treasures he possessed, within which was sealed a Heavenly Ghost Escape Technique.

Before setting out for the Central Region, the Ghost Dragon City Lord had instructed all the participating disciples to prepare various treasures. However, being proud and arrogant, Luo Xiao had chosen mostly powerful offensive treasures, with the remaining focused on defense. For escape treasures, he had only reluctantly taken two Ghost Escape Talismans after some persuasion from his master.

At the start, he had not anticipated that the trial would take place in an Otherworld. He believed that with his formidable strength, coupled with having the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, he could easily dominate and wouldn’t need to rely on escape-type treasures. Regret filled him now—if only he had taken more escape-type treasures initially.

Even if he didn’t encounter Qin Feng, he would need them when facing the powers of this world later on.

Now, after using several powerful offensive treasures and a Daoist Treasure Talisman for defense against the Giant previously, he had few treasures left. He couldn’t possibly use the remaining treasures to fight head-on with Qin Feng, and even if he did, he might not win, for Qin Feng likely had similar treasures.

This was apparent when he had revealed his Mourning Stick earlier.

So he decided it was best to reserve the few remaining treasures for life-saving purposes later on. Since he could not beat Qin Feng, it was wiser to escape quickly!

Upon activating the Ghost Escape Talisman in his hand, a strange black mist immediately rose around Luo Xiao.

Then, under the influence of the Heavenly Ghost Escape Technique, his form became like an illusion, quickly merging into the surrounding mist.

The White Dragon, the Ghost-Faced Spider, the Soul Devouring Vine Demon—all unleashed their spells towards Luo Xiao’s form, but not a single spell hit its mark.

Among Qin Feng’s Divine Sense, Luo Xiao’s fog form swiftly fled toward the distant horizon, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

“Hmm?”

Seeing this, Qin Feng also furrowed his brows and couldn’t help shaking his head.

Indeed, True Disciples from the five Dominator-level forces weren’t so easy to kill.

Unless he encountered him again during the trial, he would have to be cautious of Luo Xiao’s revenge in the future.

But Qin Feng soon calmed down.

He worried, but Luo Xiao must be more concerned than him!

After all, the latter had been repeatedly thwarted at his hands, and the grudge between them was, frankly, initiated by Luo Xiao himself. As long as Luo Xiao didn’t seize the title of Chosen Son, he wouldn’t receive much attention in Ghost Dragon City, and their feud would remain a personal matter, not implicating their Sects.

On the contrary, Qin Feng was very confident about this trial.

With the secrets he possessed, he was confident he could win the Heavenly Dao’s favor. As for how much Power of Qi Luck he would receive and whether he could become the Chosen Son, that remained to be seen after his return.

Since he had an internal assurance, Qin Feng had no fear.

Moreover, the Demon Refining Pot was about to be completely refined by him, and once he completed all Principle Comprehension, he was ready for promotion.

By then, his combat power would undoubtedly surpass that of Luo Xiao, so what was there to fear?

…

The Ghost Escape Talisman was not an Escape Technique sealed by the Immortals of the Ghost City in all directions, but rather an Escape Skill left behind by the Heavenly Ghosts they had subdued.

Such Escape Techniques were not the fastest; many in the Cultivation World were quicker. However, the Heavenly Ghost Escape Technique was inherently strange, making it the most suitable for fleeing.

And this area just happened to be a world of the deceased, which was highly compatible with Luo Xiao’s used technique. It wasn’t just that Qin Feng had failed to discover Luo Xiao’s fleeing figure; even some of the powerful beings within the Netherworld failed to sense Luo Xiao passing by them.

However, this technique was ultimately a foreign object, not inherently Luo Xiao’s, so he could only stop once the power on the Ghost Escape Talisman had been completely expended.

Therefore, he continued to flee into the depths of the Netherworld, not knowing he had delved thousands of miles into it until the power of the Ghost Escape Talisman weakened and dissipated completely, finally revealing Luo Xiao’s figure from the faint mist.

He looked around and found himself in a desolate yet eerie mountain range.

Rugged mountains and boulders stood tall, and the Yin Wind carried the lonely wails of Dead Souls, a chilling sound to the ear.

However, as a Cultivator who had grown up in the ten-directional Ghost City, Luo Xiao naturally didn’t care. Realizing that the Yin Qi was particularly dense around him, he was actually quite pleased.

“Ha ha… What a good place!”

Luo Xiao rejoiced in his heart.

This place, thick with Yin Qi, was perfect for his breakthrough into the Purple Mansion Realm.

Moreover, with such dense Yin Qi, powerful Ghost Creatures were bound to emerge, and he planned to subdue even more formidable Ghost Creatures after his promotion.

Otherwise, he had no significant assistance under his command, and fighting those Ghost Creatures was too time-consuming and taxing.

His Cultivation had already reached the Golden Core Peak; breaking through the Realm was merely a matter of course and not difficult. A few days of closed-door cultivation would suffice!

Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly heard a faint movement behind him, as if Yin Wind was blowing through bones, bringing waves of a rancid stench that made him slightly uncomfortable.

He frowned and turned to look back, his eyes widening at once.

Ten or so yards behind him, there was a pitch-black cave adorned with a pair of eerily glowing lanterns!

No, how could there possibly be lanterns in this world?

Moreover, it was a ghost lamp that could only be found in the Ten Directions Ghost City!

His eyes flashed with a dark gleam, and he could suddenly see clearly what that pair of deep, ghostly glowing lights was!

It was a pair of eyes, larger than the lanterns on the streets of the Ten Directions Ghost City.

And those huge eyes were getting closer, evidently making their way out of the cave.

A hint of confusion filtered through the ghostly pupils, clearly bewildered as to why a human had suddenly fallen from the sky outside its cave!

However, that wasn’t the point.

When its incredibly sensitive nose caught the scent of Luo Xiao’s fresh blood and flesh, drool immediately started dripping uncontrollably from its mouth.

Having been discovered by Luo Xiao, it did not mind. It just let out a low growl and stepped out of the cave.

Luo Xiao could see clearly; it was a giant wolf about seventy to eighty feet tall and at least ninety feet long.

With its fangs bared and a cruel gleam shining in its eyes, the giant wolf stared intently at him without faltering.

“…”

At that moment, Luo Xiao felt like cursing.

What kind of luck was this? How could he be so unlucky? He had just escaped from a group of spiritual beasts led by Qin Feng, only to encounter such a powerful giant wolf!

Given the aura of the giant wolf, it had clearly reached the level comparable to that of a True Immortal—isn’t that something he could handle at all?

No, that’s not right, the Curse Power left on him by the crow had not completely dissipated yet.

Could it be that he was so unlucky because of the curse’s influence?

Thinking this, Luo Xiao cursed inwardly!

Watching as the giant wolf opened its massive jaw for a bite, Luo Xiao, although helplessly, had to take out his last Ghost Escape Talisman.

This was his last Ghost Escape Talisman, and after using it, he would have no more life-saving escape talismans left. If he were to encounter danger again, he would probably be in trouble.

But future matters could wait; what mattered most was taking care of the immediate situation.

After taking out the Ghost Escape Talisman, he immediately activated it, and his figure instantly turned into a shadowy figure and escaped.

“Roar…”

The giant wolf had not paid much attention initially, for Luo Xiao’s power seemed far too weak in comparison to its own.

Just as it casually opened its mouth, ready to enjoy this sweet treat that had come knocking, it realized there was no taste of blood in its mouth; it had bitten into empty air.

It paused for a moment, looking at the empty space before it, and wondered if it had just experienced an illusion.

But being such a powerful creature, it swiftly sensed an unusual aura rapidly fleeing.

The giant wolf leaped forth, covering over a dozen miles in one bound, from one peak to another. Mid-leap, it opened its great maw and bit at that fleeing aura.

Regrettably, the speed of Luo Xiao’s Heavenly Ghost Escape Technique was incredibly fast, and as his body turned into an intangible shadow during the execution, he wasn’t caught by the giant wolf’s bite but managed to escape past its mouth.

While the giant wolf contemplated another chase, Luo Xiao’s figure had already merged into the death qi around him, moving extremely quickly, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Eventually, the giant wolf simply shook its head and lazily strolled back into its cave.

Luo Xiao, in mid-air, while controlling the direction of his escape to avoid areas with strong auras, also desperately drove out the curse on his body—to prevent falling into the mouth of a powerful being once the escape technique wore off and becoming a snack for those creatures!
