King of Creation
Chapter 121: Chapter 119 Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique
Whoosh!
The moment the piercing screech of the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman tore through the air, Meng Xiaoyue’s cry of alarm rang out once again.
With a light tug, the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger, whose power had surged to the Upper-grade Earth Level, flung the Ink Pattern Whip that was coiled around its right claw.
In a pounce as quick as lightning, it lunged at Luluo.
Previously, Luluo had continually restrained the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger with the Talisman Light, but now, facing the tiger whose strength had escalated to the Upper-grade Earth Level, her efforts were as ineffective as mere firecrackers, posing no threat whatsoever to the tiger.
Driven by a thirst for blood, honed to the extreme by the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master’s secret techniques, the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger, adopting the standard posture of catching prey, pressed down on Luluo with one claw and suddenly opened its massive jaws, intending to swallow her whole.
With no escape and nowhere to hide, Luluo, her body radiating with maximal Spiritual Power, closed her beautiful eyes in resignation—perhaps dying in the maw of a beast was far better than falling into the hands of the Southern Barbarians...
At that instant, the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman slashed through the air, its formidable force cleaving the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master, who had just shown an expression of terror, in two.
Bang bang bang bang!
Almost at the moment the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master was slain, the heads of his four demon servants—whether it was the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger or the three Demon Beasts attacking Ye Zhen—exploded like watermelons.
This scene left Ye Zhen dumbfounded.
"Sister Luluo, get out of the way, quick!" Seeing the dramatic turn of events, Meng Xiaoyue cried out.
"Huh?"
The moment Luluo opened her eyes, she saw a headless tiger corpse crashing down towards her, causing her to jump in fright, and she swiftly leaped to the side.
Bang!
The massive corpse of the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger smashed into the ground, creating a huge pit, startling Luluo so much that she clutched at her chest, thinking that had she not dodged, she would have been severely injured if not killed.
But why did the heads of these few demon servants suddenly explode?
This was a question that puzzled even Ye Zhen.
Cough cough cough!
Having dealt with the Ten Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Dog, Ye Zhen began to cough violently; he had sustained considerable injuries in this battle, especially from the moment he was attacked by the three Demon Beasts.
If it hadn’t been for Luluo’s Protective Spirit Talisman blocking the first hit, relying solely on Ye Zhen’s Hundred Stacked True Qi might have ended his life.
Reflecting on it, Luluo’s Jade Talismans, which she crafted, played a crucial role in today’s battle.
And Luluo, who was only at the Peak of Spirit Summoning, had successfully helped restrain the Green Origin Purple Eyed Tiger through significant consumption of the Jade Talismans.
Unbeknownst to him, Ye Zhen had grown greatly interested in Talisman Refining.
"Ye Zhen, how are your injuries? Take this healing pill first," Luluo, still unsettled, approached and said.
"I’m okay, my internal organs were shaken, but I’ll recover in three or four days."
"Come, let me check, what good things could be on these Southern Barbarian Spirit Cultivators’ bodies?" Ye Zhen said while coughing and began searching the bodies.
Luluo, however, stood staring at the five corpses on the ground, and suddenly realized that Ye Zhen had killed all five Southern Barbarian Spirit Cultivators, including one who was comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Ye Zhen, I’m suddenly beginning to wonder, between you and me, who really is at the True Essence Fifth Realm and who is at the Peak of Spirit Summoning? That last sword light was terrifying; how did you pull it off?" Luluo asked in astonishment.
After Ye Zhen explained, Luluo immediately began to pout.
"Oh, Elder Sister Liao, that’s so unfair, to hoard such life-saving treasures and not give me a few. Humph!"
After searching through the five bodies, Ye Zhen was quite frustrated to find that he had only discovered a Storage Bracelet on the body of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master. The other Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners, including the Advanced Spirit Masters, had nothing of value.
What was even more frustrating was that the Storage Bracelet of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master contained nothing but beast meat.
"Stop looking, Southern Barbarian Spirit Cultivators are very poor, the higher their Cultivation, the poorer they are," Luluo said.
"Why?"
"The main pursuit of Southern Barbarian Spirit Cultivators is to tame and keep demon servants. The higher the grade of the Demon Beast, the bigger their appetite and the higher their demands. For middle and upper Earth Rank Demon Beasts, sometimes even Spirit Crystals are needed for their upkeep.
A Southern Barbarian Spirit Master with five or six Demon Beasts to feed would quickly be driven to poverty," Luluo explained.
"I see..."
Ye Zhen sighed deeply, still skeptical as he went through the Storage Bracelet of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master, nearly dumping out all the beast meat contained within.
Just when he was feeling dejected, thinking there was nothing to gain, he found a thin sheepskin booklet in a corner of the emptied Storage Bracelet.
"Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique?"
The small script on the sheepskin booklet caught Ye Zhen off guard.
Seeing this, Luluo said, "Oh, this must be the Mysterious Technique used by the Southern Barbarian Spirit Cultivators to control these demon servants, and coming from a Spirit Master, it should be considered a high-end item among the Southern Barbarian Tribe."
"Wait, the Beast Taming Techniques of the Southern Barbarian Tribe differ?"
"Of course, they do. While the mainstream Beast Taming Skills are similar, each tribe has its own secret techniques.
"Just like how the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master used a secret technique to make his demon servants enter a berserk state, directly raising their combat power by one level, it must have been some tribal-specific Beast Taming secret technique."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen quickly flipped through the Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique.
Indeed, at the end of the Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique, he saw a secret technique—Berserk Secret Art!
This Berserk Secret Art, just like what happened with the demon servants earlier, also detailed various taboos.
After deploying the Berserk Secret Art, if the practitioner is killed, the already berserk demon servants would suffer a collapse of their divine souls due to the sudden disconnection of the Soul Chain.
Seeing this, the puzzling scene of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Master’s four demon servants having their heads explode like smashed watermelons was completely explained.
"This, do you want it?" Ye Zhen shook the book on Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique in his hand.
Luluo shook her head, "This thing is of no use to us. Our Black Dragon Domain has been at war with the Southern Barbarian Tribe for several hundreds to thousands of years, not to mention killing Spirit Sovereigns alongside Spirit Masters.
The Beast Taming techniques we’ve obtained from the Southern Barbarian Tribe are countless, but no Martial Artist has been able to tame and subdue a mature demon servant with these kinds of Beast Taming skills."
"Why?" This time, Ye Zhen was curious.
"I’m not sure either. Apparently, the Southern Barbarian Tribe has an extremely ancient initiation ritual. Only through that ritual can one tame a mature Demon Beast to become a demon servant," said Luluo.
Ye Zhen was suddenly frustrated, "So, is this thing completely useless?"
"Not entirely, these Beast Taming techniques don’t work on mature Demon Beasts, but they are useful for young Demon Beasts.
It is said, Bu Changtian, the number one young expert from our Phantom Divine Empire fortunately obtained a young Demon Beast of Upper-grade Earth Level using a Mysterious Beast Taming technique from the Southern Barbarian Tribe and subdued it into a demon servant.
Now, that demon servant has become Bu Changtian’s right-hand man and is exceptionally powerful."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled bitterly.
Because that was practically impossible.
He had also heard about the matter of young Demon Beasts.
Perhaps because of the prevalence of the Southern Barbarian Tribe’s Beast Taming techniques, many well-to-do Martial Artists were seeking young Demon Beasts. The price of a young Demon Beast of Lower-grade Earth Level was driven up to one hundred thousand taels of gold, and it was still the kind that was priceless on the market.
As for those below Earth Rank, apart from a few special Demon Beasts, nobody wanted them; raising them was a waste of effort.
As for Middle Upper Grade Earth Level, they were basically unobtainable.
Almost all Demon Beasts valued their young more than their own lives. If they found their young stolen, they would fight with all their might to retrieve them.
In such a scenario, the combat power that a Mid-Grade Earth Rank Demon Beast could unleash when fighting desperately was more than a Spirit Transformed practitioner of the Fourth or Fifth Stage could handle.
But better something than nothing, after skimming through a few pages, Ye Zhen put the Hundred Beast Spirit Communing Technique into his Storage Bracelet.
At worst, relying on that Berserk Secret Art, he could also make some silver.
Having experienced a great battle, countless had died or were injured, yet Ye Zhen and his two companions dared not linger a moment longer.
After a quick gathering, even though the Yin Mountain Range was extremely dangerous at night, they quickly left the area, albeit more cautiously.
Luckily, it wasn’t too far to the backside of Yin Mountain Blood Gorge.
After resting in a safe place for three days to heal their injuries, Ye Zhen and his two companions finally arrived at the backside of Yin Mountain Grand Canyon.
The entire Yin Mountain Gorge looked as though it was painted with blood, even at night, it shimmered with a dense blood light, rightfully earning the name of Yin Mountain Blood Gorge.
But a natural barrier remains a natural barrier.
The whole Yin Mountain Blood Gorge was shaped like an inverted trapezoid, small at the top and large at the bottom, with cliffs hanging as if suspended from above. It was impossible to sneak in from above.
Because anyone stationed within the gorge from Lishui Sect only needed to look up to see any anomalies above.
After a meticulous two-day reconnaissance, Ye Zhen and Luluo identified six Lishui Sect Disciple guard spots along the over fifty li of Yin Mountain Blood Gorge.
At each spot, there were at least six people, rotating between guarding and cultivating, integrating both duties, clearly planning a long-term defense, and they seemed quite skillful too.
The only two natural openings at the back of the gorge were either guarded by Lishui Sect warriors or within their line of sight.
This shows just how much Lishui Sect values the secrets carried by Meng Chuan.
Under such circumstances, sneaking into Yin Mountain Blood Gorge without being noticed was extremely difficult.
"Now, the only way to sneak into Yin Mountain Blood Gorge smoothly is one very dangerous method. If we are discovered, it’s a life-and-death situation!"
"What method?"
Just as Luluo was about to speak, Meng Xiaoyue’s body suddenly began to tremble violently, her True Yuan and Blood Qi seemed to be vibrating intensely at some strange frequency.
"Little Yue, what’s wrong?" Ye Zhen and Luluo were greatly shocked!
Strangely enough, Meng Xiaoyue was not frightened but instead cried with joy, "I can feel it, my father’s Qi, it’s right ahead, really, I can feel my father’s Qi!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhen and Luluo exchanged glances, their eyes simultaneously rising with absurdity and shock. (To be continued.
