Chapter 187 - 187 184 Great Strength Divine Ape Yuan Powang
Chapter 187: Chapter 184 Great Strength Divine Ape Yuan Powang Chapter 187: Chapter 184 Great Strength Divine Ape Yuan Powang When Mu Gaofeng was spat out onto the ground from the spatial belly of the Swallowing Sky Toad, he still seemed bewildered.
“Did I just lose like that?”
After merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, the Golden-Eyed Camel, his own strength had greatly increased.
Relying on the Golden-Eyed Camel’s innate divine ability to stabilize his stance, even if the Spiritual Toad had kicked him hundreds of times, it might not have been able to kick him off the stage.
But unexpectedly, the Spiritual Toad had swallowed him whole with one bite.
If it had been a common Spiritual Beast that swallowed him into its belly, it would’ve been one thing; even if a Demon Core Realm Demon Beast had gulped him down whole, he could have resisted inside its belly and might have even been able to cut open its stomach and escape.
But the Swallowing Sky Toad was different, with a space of its own inside its stomach.
Even though Mu Gaofeng considered his power remarkable, he only possessed Foundation Establishment Cultivation and had never touched any spells related to space.
…
Naturally, he could not break through the spatial barriers within the toad’s stomach.
Were it not for the Swallowing Sky Toad acting on Qin Feng’s orders, not wishing to harm him, it could have activated its swallowing force and digested him as food in no time at all.
“Swallowing Sky Toad?”
“That’s right, it’s the Swallowing Sky Toad!”
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect had seen much and knew a lot, and quickly someone recognized the origin of the toad through its method.
The group of disciples were all astounded at this.
They hadn’t expected that Qin Feng, a mere Outer Disciple, would dare to keep such a gold-swallowing beast by his side.
However, this was the Beast Taming Sect after all; they had seen all kinds of precious birds and Exotic Beasts.
A Foundation Establishment Realm Swallowing Sky Toad, although rare, still couldn’t scare them.
After all, the Swallowing Sky Toad had already shown its abilities.
Powerful, indeed, but it had not reached the point of transcending realms.
As long as they were careful, it was not insurmountable.
So, very soon, someone stepped up.
“Yue Dongsheng from Sky Wolf Peak, please enlighten me.”
As the newcomer took the stage, he directly merged with his Spiritual Beast, and only after that did he clasp his hands in a salute, warily watching Qin Feng to prevent being caught off guard by a surprise attack.
Qin Feng nodded, “Then I ask Senior Brother to enlighten me.”
Saying so, he raised his hand, preparing to release his own Spiritual Beast.
Seeing Qin Feng raise his hand, Yue Dongsheng thought he was going to use the same old trick and make the Swallowing Sky Toad use its Space Shifting Technique to get close to him.
He couldn’t withstand the toad’s swallowing force, so he suddenly shifted his shape sharply, and with a swish, his form split into four, as he employed the Clone Illusion Technique, occupying the four corners of the stage.
“Uh?”
Qin Feng looked at Yue Dongsheng a bit peculiarly.
What’s wrong with him, spreading out such an important skill when I haven’t even made a move?
Yue Dongsheng, noticing that the Spiritual Toad in Qin Feng’s hand hadn’t attacked, realized he had made a mistake and his face turned red.
But he recovered quickly and shouted loudly, “Be careful, Junior Brother Qin.
My Clone Illusion Technique can split into four.
Be careful not to let me get close, or your Swallowing Sky Toad won’t be able to protect you.”
As he spoke, the four figures moved rapidly, approaching Qin Feng from different directions, each figure brandishing a pair of sharp wolf claws, aiming for different parts of his body.
Qin Feng chuckled lightly, and with a wave of the hand he had raised, a ghastly Ghost-Faced Spider appeared in front of him.
In the instant that the Ghost-Faced Spider appeared, it immediately shot out several strands of spider silk.
An Illusion Clone after all is just an illusion, not a real clone, and it has no ability to fight, serving only to confuse others.
Moreover, as the Illusion Clone required Yue Dongsheng to control it, it was not as responsive as his true body, and not being able to dodge in time, it was touched by the spider silk.
With three soft ‘pops,’ the three Illusion Clones shattered instantly, leaving only Yue Dongsheng’s true body, who evaded the spider silk and approached, clawing at Qin Feng’s throat.
“Croak…”
The Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly opened its mouth.
Yue Dongsheng thought the toad was going to employ its swallowing force and quickly retreated, but he was caught off guard as the toad suddenly shot out its tongue with lightning speed, striking his body with a ‘thump.’
Fortunately, the Defensive Magic Robe on Yue Dongsheng’s body raised a layer of defense in time.
Although the Swallowing Sky Toad’s lightning-fast tongue still penetrated in an instant, the force had depleted, and it didn’t cause him severe injury.
As he stumbled backward, more Illusion Clones surged from his body, spreading and retreating, whirling around Qin Feng on the stage, to prevent being seen through by him.
Qin Feng laughed softly.
He was no stranger to this sort of divine power.
The first time he had been on a mission, Ma Jiu had used this divine power several times before him, and he had thought privately about how he would respond if he encountered this technique.
Speaking of which, the Clone Illusion was quite magical.
Each clone’s presence was the same as the true body, and even Spiritual Beasts with keen senses could not tell which were real and which were fake.
If one furthered their dao with this technique, they could even create clones containing attack power.
Unfortunately, Yue Dongsheng’s current strength was weak, and the Clone Illusion was not without solutions.
Then, the Swallowing Sky Toad opened its mouth again, spouting an torrent of water, spraying out in all directions.
Upon contact with the water, the three clones vanished again in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Yue Dongsheng’s brow furrowed.
He hadn’t expected Qin Feng to have trained the Swallowing Sky Toad to this extent, even mastering the Spell of Water Manipulation, foiling his plan to approach Qin Feng with the Illusion Clone.
But he wasn’t ready to concede defeat just yet.
Since his strongest technique was ineffective, he’d try another method of combat.
He slapped his waist where the Spiritual Beast Bag hung and released a Fire Feathered Heron, which opened its beak and spat a stream of flames towards the Ghost-Faced Spider and the Swallowing Sky Toad.
He intended to use Flame Divine Power to restrain the two Spiritual Beasts, actually feeling that as long as the Swallowing Sky Toad was not by Qin Feng’s side, he could rely on the Illusion Clone to confuse Qin Feng’s eyes, thereby closing in for close-quarters combat.
Disciples from Sky Wolf Peak were very skilled at hand-to-hand combat.
But before he could take his next action, the Ghost-Faced Spider lying prone on the ground suddenly lifted its abdomen and shot out a large amount of spider silk.
Surprisingly, it made no attempt to defend against the approaching flames, allowing itself to be scorched without dodging or evading, seemingly determined to entrap the Fire Feathered Heron even at the cost of sustaining severe injuries.
Yue Dongsheng’s expression changed upon seeing this.
Not all disciples participating in the tournament had several Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts.
Those in the mountains were not so easily tamed, and as for raising one’s own Spiritual Beast to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the required cultivation resources were certainly not few.
Most Outer Disciples already were very tight on their own cultivation resources, let alone having excess to spend on Spiritual Beasts other than their Lifebound ones.
Hence, many of the disciples participating in the tournament only had one Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast.
After all, these disciples were still new and couldn’t compare in accumulation to those wily veterans who had been in the Outer Sect for decades or even centuries.
Yue Dongsheng, aside from his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, only had the Fire Feathered Heron with Foundation Establishment Cultivation.
If the heron were trapped by spider silk, even if those Flame Magic spells severely injured the other side’s Ghost-Faced Spider, he would lose a strong helping hand.
Therefore, Yue Dongsheng found it odd.
Didn’t Qin Feng worry that damaging his Spiritual Beast could affect his subsequent matches?
Even if he could win this round, losing a Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast would still result in a significant reduction in his combat capabilities.
Before he could finish processing his thoughts, he saw a flash of dark red aura on the Ghost-Faced Spider, and as the flames from the Fire Feathered Heron fell onto the spider, not a single spider hair was burnt.
Instead, the Fire Feathered Spirit Sparrow, entangled in its web, showed signs of its beautiful red feathers being singed.
The spider silk actually contained a potent fire toxin that was scorching the feathers of the Fire Feathered Spirit Sparrow.
Without waiting for Yue Dongsheng to act next, he saw the Swallowing Sky Toad open its mouth and spit out another surge of water.
Yue Dongsheng’s hands, covered in wolf claws, flickered with Spirit Light as he tore towards the wave.
He wanted to rip through the wave and then find a way around the Swallowing Sky Toad to launch a surprise attack on Qin Feng.
What he hadn’t expected was that as he dispersed the water, a Cold Ice Arrow shot from the middle of the water and pierced his abdomen with a “thud,” causing intense pain, even through his Magic Robe.
It felt as though his internal organs were being turned upside down, and before he could recover, he saw the tail of a Giant Crocodile swing and whip him away.
Although this Giant Crocodile could no longer keep up with Qin Feng’s Cultivation progress, it was, after all, physically strong and had no small brute force.
When used cleverly, it still had its uses.
Qin Feng looked indifferently at Yue Dongsheng, who had landed outside the arena, and cupped his hands, “I am honored by your concession.”
With that, he ordered the Ghost-Faced Spider to release the Fire Feathered Spirit Sparrow it had entangled with its web.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Qin, for showing mercy.”
Yue Dongsheng wasn’t a sore loser and promptly retracted his Spiritual Beasts, stepping aside.
Having lost his first match, he no longer had any chance to contend for the Inner Sect positions and could only stand by as a spectator.
Qin Feng gave a slight smile and looked at the other contestants, “I wonder which fellow Sect Member would like to take the stage for guidance?”
“I will!”
A thunderous voice boomed, followed by a massive figure landing on the stage with a thud.
Qin Feng looked up and saw the person before him was nine feet tall, extremely brawny, with arms as thick as logs, bared for all to see.
“Spiritual Ape Peak, Yuan Powang.”
This man was direct in both speech and action.
Without waiting for Qin Feng to respond, he quickly Merged with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast.
In an instant, his body became much stronger, making him look like a ten-foot-tall humanoid ape.
He then moved, each stride spanning several meters, and in just a few steps, he had already reached Qin Feng.
Along the way, he ignored the spider silk the Ghost-Faced Spider spat at him.
The fire toxin on the silk could not harm his skin, and the spider silk that wrapped around his legs was torn apart by his stride.
Looking at Qin Feng up close, he grinned, revealing an ugly, fierce smile with a glint of coldness on his teeth, “You’ve got quite a few tricks up your sleeve and plenty of flair, but none of that works on me.
Aside from my Lifebound Spiritual Beast, I don’t have any other Spiritual Beasts.
I believe that as long as I can train my Lifebound Spiritual Beast to a sufficiently fearsome level, I’m invulnerable to all your tricks.”
While he spoke, he flipped his giant hand downward, pressing down like the Five-Finger Mountain.
Before his palm reached him, the violent wind it brought made Qin Feng’s face ache.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, wanting to dodge, but he discovered that Yuan Powang’s palm contained a power of Imprisonment.
Although it wasn’t enough to lock his body in place, it would definitely affect his movements.
If he stumbled while dodging, he would fall into his opponent’s rhythm of attack.
Thus, he chose not to evade, and his body shone with Golden Light as he merged with the Ruyi Golden Snake instantly.
Then, he raised both arms and pulled up the pair of Golden Wings on his back above his head to brace against the other’s attack.
There was a loud boom, and Qin Feng’s body suddenly shortened.
The arena, forged from huge stones and reinforced with Forbidden Techniques, was not easily damaged, but the moment Qin Feng’s body contacted Yuan Powang’s palm, he thought he heard a faint cracking sound from beneath.
And the moment he touched Yuan Powang’s hands, his wings were almost flattened by the man’s wildly powerful force.
Qin Feng, with all his strength, vibrated his wings to push Yuan Powang back three steps.
Only then did he look up at the big fellow before him and show a wry smile, “Great Strength Divine Ape?”
