King of Creation
Chapter 1216: Chapter 1201: The Terror of the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needle
The middle-aged man with two horns leaned his huge head towards the Black Scale Dragon Whip and took a deep, intoxicated sniff. Ye Zhen’s gaze shifted slightly, and the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles at the tip of the Black Scale Dragon Whip suddenly erupted with a blinding green light, blasting towards the middle-aged man.
This sudden change was too abrupt.
Coupled with the fact that the middle-aged man with two horns had leaned his head too close, the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles almost all blasted into his head.
Ye Zhen didn’t worry at all about controlling the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles, leaving their control entirely to the Little Demon within the Yimu Spiritual Vein.
"Kill!"
With a shout, Ye Zhen directly unleashed the most powerful Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire that he’d recently received into his body.
As Ye Zhen acted, the other ten beings who had come with him simultaneously took action.
The first to move was the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, whose Overturning Sea Command Flag swayed, causing the entire seabed to roll violently as if the heavens and earth were flipping over.
With this upheaval, thousands of Water Demons instantly staggered into disarray, especially the thousand six-legged Water Demons at the rear, who were holding Soul Bows and were directly turned topsy-turvy by the seawater.
The greatest threat was eliminated in an instant.
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint shot out thousands of black thread-like glimmers around him, entangling the Water Demons in front of him and binding them tightly in an instant.
At that same moment, Zhu Hong and the Great Saint of Jinghai revealed their true forms, and both opened their mouths to suck furiously.
Hundreds and thousands of Water Demons and seawater were swallowed into their bellies.
However, there was still a difference in their abilities; it appeared that the Great Saint of Jinghai was slightly stronger. His massive maw opened, and over a thousand Water Demons and a large amount of seawater were devoured.
Moreover, as he swallowed, he chewed, the sound of cracking bones and tearing flesh accompanied by screams kept echoing, creating a bloody scene.
Zhu Hong, on the other hand, managed to swallow only a few hundred Water Demons in the same amount of time, and unlike the Great Saint of Jinghai, he didn’t just swallow them into his belly but into the Inner World he achieved through his innate talent.
At first glance, it seemed that Zhu Hong’s ability was inferior to the Great Saint of Jinghai’s.
In reality, it wasn’t the case at all.
The Great Saint of Jinghai’s whale-like devouring ability was quite limited in its application, best suited for swallowing seawater and living organisms, among other things.
If the Great Saint of Jinghai were to swallow a massive amount of Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire like Zhu Hong, he would definitely turn into a roast fish.
But Zhu Hong’s Inner World was limitless, capable of devouring virtually anything.
With the actions of these three, two-thirds of the Water Demons present disappeared, which directly worried the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Sunx Ba. His arms extended like lightning for over a thousand meters, and his giant hands grabbed several Little Demons as if they were small chicks, smashing them together with force.
Some were left with broken bones and fainted on the spot with cries of despair, while the unlucky Water Demons were smashed into meat paste.
In contrast, Xuan Hu and the others were not having such a good time. He, along with Liao Feibai and the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, hadn’t killed many Little Demons when the thousands of Little Demons surrounding them were wiped out.
Bai Zizai, who hadn’t taken action yet, was staring with bulging eyes like a fish, glaring at the Chi Jiao that was screaming and rolling in front of him!
Equally shocked was Ye Zhen!
Ye Zhen even felt that the bundle of Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire he had just unleashed was somewhat unnecessary.
The thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles condensed thirty-six green ghostly glows under the sea, with more than eighteen of these glows vibrating rapidly. Each vibration sent a large amount of power into Ye Zhen’s body.
To be precise, it was sent into the Little Demon’s body within Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Vein.
The power being returned was all the origin power of the Chi Jiao in front of him, which is where the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needle got its name.
This is the effect of the Asura Soul Stealing Grass, another main ingredient for refining the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles.
The Asura Soul Stealing Grass is a parasitic type of grass that grows on other plants, with its greatest advantage being its ability to absorb the essence origin spiritual power of other creatures without limit to grow itself.
However, for the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles to exert their essence-stealing ability, they must remain embedded continuously in the enemy’s body to perform the essence-stealing function.
Originally, it would have been impossible for Ye Zhen to succeed so easily.
But the Chi Jiao was excited beyond control after smelling the Black Dragon’s aura on the Black Scale Dragon Whip and directly leaned its head over, allowing the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles to bombard it.
Moreover, under the Little Demon’s control, the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles could be described as having reached Divine Transformation.
At the moment of penetration, the Little Demon mimicked the armor-breaking characteristic of the Iron Wire Fern, one of the materials used in refining the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles.
The moment they broke through, the traits that the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles simulated were countless.
There was the paralyzing Nine-Night Vine, the Indra that affected Divine Soul Power, the Blood Mosquito Grass that drilled through bones, and the Spirit Devouring Grass that consumed spiritual power, yet the primary trait remained the Asura Soul Stealing Grass’s ability.
The moment the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles penetrated the body, they formed a deadly killing strike.
A variety of toxins and plants with special effects all blasted into the Chi Jiao’s body under the Little Demon’s catalysis.
There was paralysis, intense pain, drilling through bones and marrow, soul devouring, suppression, and even blood sucking.
Ye Zhen roughly calculated that the varieties of plants mimicked by the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles that the Little Demon blasted into the Chi Jiao’s body amounted to no less than nine.
The various negative effects instantly caused the Chi Jiao to collapse, unable to even control its entire body’s strength, directly revealing its enormous true form.
In this way, the Bone-attached Phosphorous Fire that Ye Zhen later unleashed was simply superfluous.
Everyone, including Ye Zhen himself, watched as the Chi Jiao, continuously howling madly, shrank in size and its cultivation aura kept declining.
Within these ten or so breaths, the Chi Jiao, which could have easily annihilated Ye Zhen and his group, not only shrunk to half its size but its cultivation aura also quickly fell to the Mid-stage Dao Entrance Realm.
Bai Zizai and the others, as if seeing Ye Zhen for the first time, scanned him with a new gaze.
He couldn’t imagine that a soul artifact casually used by Ye Zhen could be so terrifying.
In fact, it wasn’t just Bai Zizai; Ye Zhen himself didn’t know the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles would be so terrifying.
Originally, in Ye Zhen’s estimation, these thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles were supposed to assist in ambushes, and their power was definitely not this strong.
However, when tested today and fully manipulated by the Little Demon, they erupted with such terrifying power.
It directly rendered a mid-stage Dao Entrance Realm Grand Demon powerless to fight back. Although luck played a part, the power is indisputable.
This isn’t just a soul artifact, but clearly the combined power of thirty-six soul artifacts into one.
In an instant, Ye Zhen even regretted not crafting seventy-two or even one hundred and eight Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles at the start.
Of course, this idea is just a thought for now.
Though the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles are driven by the Little Demon, every single needle consumes a part of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power.
Compared to other soul artifacts, the Divine Soul Power consumed by the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles is equivalent to that of three to four mid-grade Soul Devices.
If it doubled, whether Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power could bear it would be a question.
Or else, Ye Zhen wouldn’t even think about activating and controlling other soul artifacts.
Of course, Ye Zhen also knew a bit of why these Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles are so powerful.
Firstly, it’s because the main material used is the root of an Ancient Divine Wood, and the pure and indescribable Yimu Spiritual Power attribute allows the Little Demon to simulate at will.
But most fundamentally, it’s because of the Little Demon, this peculiar entity.
The little demon grew from a magical seed nurtured using the power of the bloodline of thirteen Ancient Giant Spirit Tree Demons over nearly eight thousand years within the Huichun Blessed Land. It can simulate the power of any plant it’s seen at will.
Ye Zhen felt that under the control of the Little Demon, the power erupted from the thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles was stronger than the combined Purple Flame Golden Lamp and Black Scale Dragon Whip; in certain situations, like the current one, it could absolutely unleash astonishing power.
"Don’t just stand there, quick, block this so-called Water Mansion; don’t let these Water Demons escape. Capture as many alive as possible!" Ye Zhen suddenly shouted at the dazed crowd.
The next moment, except for Hu Qingtong, who moved inconveniently underwater, the others rushed in all directions.
Before the collapsed Water Mansion, only Ye Zhen and the incessantly wailing Chi Jiao remained.
"Spare me, Immortal, spare me, please spare me......"
The Chi Jiao, whose cultivation rapidly fell below the Dao Entrance Realm, pleaded miserably for mercy.
Yet, Ye Zhen had no intention of sparing its life. Instead, he urged the Little Demon to fully activate the Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles to mercilessly devour the Chi Jiao’s origin power to strengthen itself.
Ye Zhen could sense the aura of the Little Demon within him rapidly ascending.
Just within this time, it had broken through the Dao Entrance Realm.
For plant-type beings like the Little Demon who possess an ancient bloodline, there are absolutely no cultivation bottlenecks until a certain level of attainment.
"No, you can’t kill me!"
"I am the Chi Jiao Xiansheng Water Monarch personally appointed by the Dragon Lord of North Sea, if you dare to kill me......"
Ye Zhen directly ignored Chi Jiao’s final frantic howl, and when its cultivation aura dropped to the Vein Forging Realm, he shattered its head with a palm strike.
This creature had too powerful a cultivation; by its words, it seemed to hold a high position, but keeping it by his side would be too dangerous.
Most crucially, this creature knew about the changes here; if kept, it would inevitably discover the Upper Teleportation Formation here.
It absolutely couldn’t be kept alive.
A demon core the size of a fist, engraved with mysterious Dao Patterns, appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand.
This was the most precious thing from the entire body of the Chi Jiao. Then, a wisp of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power penetrated the innate Divine Soul of the Chi Jiao and directly began a Soul Search!
After fifteen minutes, and after this Water Mansion was completely sealed off, the Slaughter Gods that Ye Zhen brought from True Profound Continent captured those live demons without saying a word and directly activated a secret technique to start a Soul Search.
Instantly, the entire Water Mansion resounded with a chorus of screams.
Having just arrived, until a certain amount of information was obtained, they wouldn’t trust anyone, or any demon!
