Chapter 700 - 699: Soul Attacks Ineffective! The Ancestral Will Descends
Chapter 700: Chapter 699: Soul Attacks Ineffective! The Ancestral Will Descends
"Hm?"
Orochi felt the Soul Suppression reflect back at it, and all of its heads wrinkled in confusion.
’What’s going on?’
It didn’t understand what had just happened.
How could a tiny Emperor Realm mosquito possibly block its soul attack?
And even reflect the attack back at it?
’It must be a coincidence!’
Orochi comforted itself with the thought.
It decided to increase the pressure of its Soul Suppression.
It wanted to get to the bottom of this.
This time, it channeled all the Divine Power in its body.
It condensed its Soul Suppression to a terrifying degree.
The entire sky trembled in fear from its soul attack.
It turned a suppressive, dark black.
"Damn you, mosquito! Face my wrath!"
Orochi roared in fury.
It concentrated the solidified Soul Suppression into a sharp spike.
Then sent it hurtling mercilessly toward Chu Sheng’s body.
The big black dog and Asia, standing a short distance behind Chu Sheng, weren’t even the primary targets, yet the aftershock alone forced them back hundreds of steps!
The big black dog’s face turned pale.
"Mosquito, don’t try to act tough!"
the big black dog yelled urgently at Chu Sheng.
"Orochi’s soul is too powerful! You can’t withstand it."
"If you keep holding on, your Divine Soul will be completely annihilated!"
"We only have a chance of fighting it if we attack together!"
But no matter how the big black dog yelled, Chu Sheng remained motionless, floating silently in the air as if he hadn’t heard a word.
"Dammit!"
The big black dog pawed furiously at the ground.
Its claws left deep scratches on the hard rock.
It was Chu Sheng’s Contracted Beast.
If Chu Sheng died,
it wouldn’t survive either.
"This emperor doesn’t want to accompany you to hell!"
The big black dog gritted its teeth.
Black flames began to flare up around its body.
It was preparing to burn its Life Force to forcibly raise its Realm and save Chu Sheng.
But just then, a shocking scene unfolded before its eyes.
Chu Sheng was still floating in the same spot, unmoving.
The soul spike, launched with all of Orochi’s power, slammed viciously into Chu Sheng’s body.
Not only did it fail to cause Chu Sheng any harm,
but on the contrary,
it was all reflected back at an even faster speed.
"BANG!"
Caught completely off guard, Orochi was struck hard by its own soul spike.
Its massive serpentine body shook violently.
It almost fell from the sky!
All six of its heads hissed in agony at once.
’How is that possible?’
’How on earth did it do that?’
The big black dog stared, dumbfounded, at the scene.
The black flames in its mouth unconsciously extinguished themselves.
It had been on good terms with countless prodigies.
It had seen enough stunningly talented individuals to fill a Peach Banquet.
But it had never seen such an incredible ability.
To be able to reflect a full-power soul attack from a Divine Realm expert almost perfectly!
Asia was just as shocked.
She had always thought
that Chu Sheng’s rapid growth
was at most due to possessing a sliver of bloodline from some ancient forgotten species,
combined with good luck and a few fortunate opportunities.
But!!!
Even if a true Ancient Giant Beast were here in person,
it would be absolutely impossible to so easily withstand a full-power soul attack from Orochi!
"Is... it... really... just... a mosquito?"
Asia felt her entire worldview shattering into pieces.
The shock felt by the big black dog and Asia was, at most, a visual one.
Orochi’s shock, however, was visceral.
It knew very well
just how powerful its soul attack was.
Forget a tiny Emperor Realm mosquito;
even if all the Ancient Gods of East Japan were bundled together, they wouldn’t last a single move against it.
Moreover,
not only had Chu Sheng blocked its soul attack,
he had even used a special ability to reflect almost all of it back.
Orochi had lived for a million years,
but it had never seen such an insanely powerful Skill!!!
After a moment of shock,
Orochi slowly calmed down.
It knew its plan to crush Chu Sheng with a soul attack had completely failed.
Since soul attacks didn’t work,
it would use a physical one!
It refused to believe
a tiny mosquito’s body could be that tough!
Its enormous serpentine body twisted, stirring up furious gales as it shot toward Chu Sheng.
It believed
that a single flick of its tail
would be enough to easily obliterate this damned mosquito.
Then, it would absorb all of his Power of Origin
and evolve into a true Divine Beast!!!
Just as Orochi arrived before Chu Sheng, filled with dreams of its future,
Chu Sheng’s originally small body suddenly began to expand rapidly.
His mosquito form, originally less than a meter long,
instantly...
transformed into a Chaos Saint Mosquito over a thousand meters long!!!
His black carapace gleamed with a cold, metallic luster.
His six sharp, long legs were like the scythes of the Grim Reaper.
Every flap of his transparent wings sent ripples through Space.
Although in terms of overall length,
Chu Sheng was slightly outmatched by Orochi, which stretched for several miles.
his body was much stockier.
He had a much more imposing presence than a long, slender creature like Orochi!
Facing Orochi, he didn’t seem outmatched in the slightest!
Orochi faltered for a moment.
A trace of surprise flashed in its eyes.
But it paid it no mind.
’So what if it’s big?’
’In the face of an absolute difference in Realm, everything else is meaningless.’
It continued its previous Attack.
It prepared to swat Chu Sheng into mosquito paste with a swing of its tail, which was a hundred times thicker than a thousand-year-old tree.
But just as its serpentine body began to twist,
in the instant it prepared to whip its tail,
a wave of terror from the depths of its soul suddenly washed over it!
Like a tidal wave, it instantly submerged all of its consciousness.
Orochi’s movements froze abruptly.
It raised its six heads in terror.
Its twelve compound eyes, larger than lanterns, were instantly filled with deep dread.
Its colossal body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What... what did you do???"
Orochi whimpered in disbelief.
Its voice was filled with trembling and fear.
At that moment,
it found it incredibly difficult to even raise its heads to look directly at Chu Sheng.
It was as if it weren’t facing a mosquito,
but a high and mighty Primordial Divine Beast!
"Nothing much."
Chu Sheng’s enormous body hovered above Orochi’s heads.
He looked down slightly, gazing at the trembling Orochi, and spoke calmly.
"While you were busy with that soul attack, I just took the opportunity to level up a Skill."
Orochi listened, completely bewildered.
It had no idea what Chu Sheng was talking about.
Chu Sheng didn’t feel the need to explain to Orochi.
Just a moment ago,
he had simply spent one hundred million Evolution Points
to raise his level 40 Origin Pressure directly to level 100,
turning it into Origin Pressure MAX.
Immediately after, the system’s notification tone rang out.
[Ding! The Host’s Origin Pressure has reached Full Level. The Skill has received a special enhancement.]
[Origin Pressure MAX has evolved into the special ability, Ancestral Will.]
[Ancestral Will: All serpentine and insectoid Exotic Beasts below the Divine Beast Level will be completely suppressed by the Host’s Bloodline.]
[Suppression Effect: Target’s strength is reduced by 90%. They are unable to initiate any active attacks against the Host.]
The Sakura People had always called Orochi a Divine Beast.
But it was clear that Orochi hadn’t actually reached the Divine Beast Level at all.
At best, it was a Fierce Beast.
The moment Chu Sheng unleashed his Ancestral Will,
Orochi was instantly crippled!!!
Ninety percent of the power in its body was drained in an instant.
Forget about attacking Chu Sheng;
even maintaining flight in front of him had become incredibly difficult!!!
