Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 289 - 288: The Essence of the Yin Spirit

While speaking, Gu Yuan didn’t wait for the opponent’s response and pointed at the Silver Flood Dragon Sword.

The Silver Flood Dragon Sword rang out with a dragon-like sword cry, then soared into the sky, transforming into a bright full moon.

With the rise of this full moon, the surrounding sky seemed to dim, highlighting the powerful presence of the moon alone.

Under the soft and pure moonlight, cultivators within a hundred-foot radius felt their bodies slightly uncontrollable, and their True Qi flowed more slowly.

Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling felt it most distinctly, their entire bodies seemingly bound by some force, becoming rigid and their movements slowed considerably.

"I want to try my hand against this old demon, test his methods. It would be best for you two Junior Sisters to step back."

The two women were startled, exchanged a glance, and upon hearing Gu Yuan’s warning, quickly retreated. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The two felt they had a good understanding of Gu Yuan’s skills, but it wasn’t until personally experiencing them that they realized Gu Yuan was even more formidable than they imagined.

Meanwhile, the Old Demon of Three Corpses’ face darkened, both furious that Gu Yuan dared to strike at him and recognizing the troublesome nature of Gu Yuan’s divine techniques.

Under this moonlight, even he and the White Bone Mighty Demon beside him were restrained.

At the same time, he sensed a gentle yet strong and razor-sharp Sword Intent faintly locking onto him.

Any slight movement would result in a shocking attack!

The Sword Intent was so fierce that even his Lich Demon sensed a hint of danger!

Clearly, this sword Gu Yuan was preparing was enough to threaten him.

Behind the Old Demon of Three Corpses, strands of black light emerged, rapidly fusing, converging, and twisting to form a towering shadow over ten feet high.

The shadow emitted an overwhelming suffocating pressure, surrounded by black-gray demon flames, utterly filled with demonic Qi!

Clang—!!!

However, at this moment, Gu Yuan’s sword was ready, and as a sword cry sounded, those pure and gentle moonlight rays transformed into strands of Sword Qi raining down.

The Old Demon of Three Corpses’ expression turned grim, as the shadow behind him formed a hand seal, causing demonic Qi to surge and quickly condense into a strange black shield.

The shield was covered with sharp spikes, serrated edges, and featured a menacing ghost face on its front.

The shadow lifted this peculiar black shield over its head, the ghost face sneering ferociously, its eyes faintly blood-red.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The seemingly endless Sword Qi rained from the sky, hitting the black shield with a series of crisp sounds.

Initially, the black shield could block the Sword Qi. But as time passed, the shield gradually thinned.

The Old Demon of Three Corpses’ expression soured.

Crack! Crack!

Finally, the black shield’s surface cracked with dense fissures, then shattered.

"Hmph!"

The Old Demon of Three Corpses snorted coldly, turning into a shadow and merging into the demon shadow behind him.

Roar—

Then, the shadow—Lich Demon—let out a roar and punched out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Fierce winds arose, the punch engulfed in potent demon flames and Gang Feng, crushing the Sword Qi.

Boom!!!

Instantly, the Sword Qi turned to powder under the tremendous force, then dissipated into light in the air.

Yet, the moon swiftly descended, seemingly slow but quick, shrinking into a thread of faint silver Sword Light as it fell.

This streak of Sword Light was extremely dazzling and incredibly fast, aiming directly at the Lich Demon’s brow.

The Lich Demon’s expression changed slightly; the saw-toothed Ghost Head Saber in his other hand quivered as he sliced toward the Sword Light.

The black knife light, carrying wind and thunder, tore through space with ghostly and woeful cries.

In an instant, the saw-toothed Ghost Head Saber precisely slashed at the sliver of silver Sword Light.

Compared to the six or seven-foot-long saw-toothed Ghost Head Saber, the sliver of Sword Light was extremely slender, yet when they collided, there was an earsplitting sound of metal clashing.

The silver Sword Light shuddered, then flew backwards, called back to Gu Yuan by a gesture, like a lively Flood Dragon Serpent.

But the saw-toothed Ghost Head Saber in the Lich Demon’s hand cracked several times, shattered into pieces.

Seeing Gu Yuan had no intention of continuing, the Lich Demon gradually shrank to human size, flashing into the original thin and dark old man’s form.

But his expression remained sour, as the previous exchange had left him no advantage, hinting at being at a disadvantage.

This was hard for him to accept.

If Gu Yuan were a Golden Core Great Cultivator, defeat wouldn’t be shameful.

But he wasn’t; just a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator. Losing to such an opponent was truly embarrassing.

Even the Old Demon of Three Corpses found it hard to accept.

As a veteran of the Primordial Nether Sect, his talent was exceptional, naturally confident and proud.

Yet now he had been bested by a junior, which was hard to stomach.

He was about to speak when he noticed a hint of redness on Gu Yuan’s face, his body faintly covered with golden light.

Even his eyes faintly glowed with a layer of golden brilliance.

He looked almost divine, exuding a touch of inexplicable oppression.

The pressure wasn’t strong, but its essence was unusually high, and even the Old Demon of Three Corpses felt a subtle pressure.

"What, this is clearly the breath of the Yin Spirit."

He was startled, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Gu Yuan now emitted an aura higher than him—a Golden Core Great Cultivator’s aura. The Old Demon of Three Corpses naturally wasn’t unfamiliar with this.

He knew Gu Yuan’s cultivation was merely that of a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator, so how had Gu Yuan suddenly changed like this?

The answer was obvious—it was due to the Celestial King Divine Pill Gu Yuan had just consumed!

This top-grade Spirit Pill could refine the Divine Soul, granting a touch of Yin Spirit essence.

With this essence as a seed, transitioning from nothing, even a hint could greatly increase the possibility of advancing essence for a Golden Core Great Cultivator.

But what shocked the Old Demon of Three Corpses the most was that Gu Yuan had refined the pill and absorbed its benefits so quickly.

He would take at least ten days to half a month to fully refine such a treasure.

Yet Gu Yuan had done it in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea. So... how did he manage that?
