Chapter 517: You are playing with your life!
In this Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix, the most mysterious participant is undoubtedly Chu Xinghe, representing the Grand Sky Sect.For three consecutive matches, Chu Xinghe has positioned himself as the second to compete.
There were rumors that Chu Xinghe didn't even have a spirit beast.
Although this information hasn't been fully confirmed, some insiders seem to believe it's true.
In this situation, many people couldn't understand why Chu Xinghe would place himself second. If the person before him from the Grand Sky Sect lost, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Chu Xinghe to go up next?
But facts proved that Chu Xinghe's arrogance had its reasons. Although he placed himself second, for three consecutive matches, no one saw him take the stage.
There were even rumors later that Chu Xinghe placed himself first, but for three consecutive matches, he had a bye.
So, do you want to see Chu Xinghe embarrassed?
You simply won't have the chance.
How strong is Chu Xinghe really? This has become a hot topic of private discussion among many.
The other mysterious figure is Zhu Peng from the Soul Eaters team.
Zhu Peng has always placed himself last in every match, yet even the famously powerful North Mystic City hasn't seen him in action.
So, is Zhu Peng incredibly powerful or just a fluke? Opinions vary.
But today, everything will be revealed.
The first mystery, Chu Xinghe, versus the second mystery, Zhu Peng. The outcome of this battle will soon be unveiled.
Chu Xinghe doesn't know if others are nervous, but he is a bit anxious.
However, his anxiety is somewhat different from others.
Chu Xinghe is worried that Zhu Peng might actually be a fluke.
He brought a Sai Basalt, and regardless of what others think, he's here to make a fool of himself.
But damn it, Zhu Peng better not bring out a Sai Orient Loong God...
If the Sai Basalt and Sai Orient Loong God start tearing into each other on stage, I can't even imagine that scene...
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, this so-called battle between mysterious figures began.
On the platform, Chu Xinghe was the first to step up, and opposite him, Zhu Peng, dressed in black, also took the stage.
Zhu Peng didn't look young, appearing to be around thirty, yet he exuded a composure beyond his years.
In this Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix, the entire Soul Eaters team has risen to fame. It's said that even Martial Emperor City sent people to recruit them.
But strangely, Zhu Peng rejected all invitations.
On the platform, as the referee confirmed both sides were ready, their spirit beasts appeared in everyone's view.
Zhu Peng's Soul Devouring Snake emerged with a black glow, causing many to gasp.
"That's a Soul Devouring King Snake!"
"Look at the horn on its head!"
"The Soul Devouring Snake itself is a rare spirit beast, and the Soul Devouring King Snake is even rarer among them!"
Countless people were astonished by the appearance of such a rare spirit beast.
Compared to others' shock, Chu Xinghe was laughing so hard he almost cried!
He had been worried that Zhu Peng might pull out something like a Sai Orient Loong God to backstab him.
What? You say Zhu Peng doesn't even know me?
These days, if you say someone would backstab Chu Xinghe, I'd believe it!
But now, with the Soul Devouring King Snake out, Chu Xinghe knew he had no idea how to lose!
Tell me, how can a Sai Basalt defeat a Soul Devouring King Snake?
Just as everyone marveled at the Soul Devouring King Snake, Chu Xinghe's Sai Basalt also made its entrance.
Compared to the Soul Devouring King Snake, the appearance of the Sai Basalt caused an uproar!
Everyone who saw the Sai Basalt was dumbfounded.
What on earth is that?
It looks like a turtle... and that's not even the main point. The main point is, this turtle doesn't even have the spiritual power fluctuations a spirit beast should have!
It really seems like just a turtle! Besides being a bit chubby, there's nothing special about it.
There had been rumors about the Sai Basalt, and although many had heard them, they were mostly dismissed with a laugh.
But now, people realized the rumors might have been understated.
This Sai Basalt is even more low-end than anyone imagined.
So, has Chu Xinghe lost his mind? Bringing this thing to challenge the Soul Devouring King Snake? What's he trying to do?
Even Zhu Peng on stage was confused.
Zhu Peng's Soul Devouring King Snake scrutinized the Sai Basalt for a long time, unable to figure out what it was.
But regardless of what the Sai Basalt was, since it was on stage, the battle had to proceed.
With the referee's signal to start, the Soul Devouring King Snake's horn emitted a dark light that swept towards the Sai Basalt.
Chu Xinghe stood calmly on stage, unmoving!
What? You ask why not command the Sai Basalt?
It's not that Chu Xinghe doesn't want to command it, but damn it, I can't even control it.
Commanding a turtle in the river is too advanced a skill, do you think I'm the Dragon King?
But just as Chu Xinghe watched the Sai Basalt get hit by the Soul Devouring King Snake's dark light, preparing to collect its corpse and announce his defeat, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The dark light indeed hit the Sai Basalt, but it dissipated the moment it struck!
And the Sai Basalt showed no signs of being hit, continuing to crawl on the stage...
"Senior Brother Xinghe really has a backup plan!" Ma Liang exclaimed in shock.
"The Soul Devouring King Snake used the Soul Devouring Technique, and Senior Brother Xinghe's Sai Basalt is immune?"
"Could it be that Senior Brother Xinghe's Sai Basalt is immune to all power damage?"
Everyone was stunned by the Sai Basalt's sudden immunity, and even Chu Xinghe was shocked.
Damn it, how could I not know if the Sai Basalt has immunity?
But Chu Xinghe was also confused, what just happened? I have no idea.
However, knowing or not knowing wasn't the point now. Chu Xinghe only knew that something seemed off, maybe he should just concede?
But just as Chu Xinghe was about to declare his surrender, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
The Soul Devouring King Snake didn't continue attacking the Sai Basalt, but instead, it launched a dark light directly at Chu Xinghe.
The sudden dark light enveloped Chu Xinghe entirely, a terrifying devouring force instantly surrounding him.
The scene descended into chaos, this was supposed to be a spirit beast competition, why was Zhu Peng's spirit beast attacking Chu Xinghe instead of the Sai Basalt?
Before anyone could understand what Zhu Peng was doing, the dark light on Chu Xinghe transformed into countless threads, wrapping around him.
The threads carried a powerful devouring force, enveloping Chu Xinghe completely.
This scene left everyone bewildered. The Soul Devouring King Snake had the ability to devour the spiritual power of other spirit beasts, and in previous battles, although Zhu Peng never acted, the other Soul Devouring Snakes constantly used devouring power to absorb the spiritual power of other spirit beasts.
But the power of spirit beasts and humans is different.
Now, what was the Soul Devouring King Snake trying to devour from Chu Xinghe? Did Chu Xinghe have some spirit beast power?
As everyone wondered what the Soul Devouring King Snake was up to, a divine light suddenly flew out from Chu Xinghe.
Seeing this divine light, Zhu Peng, standing in the distance, revealed a strange smile.
The Beast God Talisman!
The divine light was Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman!
Zhu Peng trembled with excitement, he had been waiting for this moment, waiting for Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman.
And Zhu Peng's sole target was Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman.
From the moment he saw Chu Xinghe, Zhu Peng sensed the Beast God Talisman, filled with pure divine power, and even a tiny bit of it would be enough for the Soul Devouring King Snake to undergo a qualitative leap.
Not only the Soul Devouring King Snake, but Zhu Peng himself could also gain immense benefits.
No one knew that Zhu Peng harbored a great secret. He was originally just a rogue cultivator, but half a year ago, he accidentally discovered a secret place, which turned out to be a spatial rift connecting to the Demon Star Continent.
As a rogue cultivator, Zhu Peng gained power from the demon race within, and it was with this power that he obtained the Soul Devouring King Snake on Spirit Beast Island.
Zhu Peng had always hidden the power he received from the demon race within his teammates' other Soul Devouring Snakes, enhancing himself by devouring the spiritual power of other spirit beasts.
Zhu Peng was so discreet that no one discovered the demon race power within him. Initially, he planned to use this method to devour the power within Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman.
Because, logically, Chu Xinghe's spirit beast should be connected to the Beast God Talisman, and by devouring the spirit beast's spiritual power, theoretically, Chu Xinghe's spirit beast could continuously receive those unique powers from the Beast God Talisman.
By frantically devouring, he could still obtain some of the power within the Beast God Talisman.
But Zhu Peng never imagined that Chu Xinghe's Sai Basalt had no connection to the Beast God Talisman at all?
That's why the Sai Basalt was immune to the devouring power.
So his original plan to gain power from the Beast God Talisman by devouring Chu Xinghe's spirit beast's spiritual power was completely unfeasible.
But now, Zhu Peng knew that if he missed this chance, he would never again obtain the power within Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman in his lifetime.
Although directly attacking Chu Xinghe would surely provoke everyone to act against him, Zhu Peng had his trump card!
What about the Grand Sky Sect? What about the top ten in the world? I, Zhu Peng, have the power of the demon race, and as long as my demon lord is not destroyed, you cannot kill me.
Today, I will forcibly devour the power within Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman, then escape using the demon race's self-sacrifice technique, who in this world can stop me?
Even if Gu Mingchao, the Martial God, came personally, he couldn't stop me today!
Zhu Peng could only marvel at this heaven-sent opportunity, Chu Xinghe, oh Chu Xinghe... since you have no spirit beast, all the power within the Beast God Talisman is ownerless, today I will seize the power within your Beast God Talisman for myself!
Zhu Peng knew there was only one chance, so he didn't hold back, the Soul Devouring King Snake combined with the demon race power suddenly erupting from him, aimed directly at Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman, intending to seize the power within.
Chu Xinghe had no idea what Zhu Peng was up to, he was utterly confused watching Zhu Peng and the Soul Devouring King Snake attack the Beast God Talisman.
Out of humanitarian concern, Chu Xinghe couldn't help but speak up: "Um... I advise you not to!"
Brother... you can't be trying to devour my Beast God Talisman...
You have no idea what's in that Beast God Talisman... you're not devouring the Beast God Talisman, you're risking your life...
Just as Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he felt a change in the Beast God Talisman...
The Beast God... had awakened!
