Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2177 - 2159: Little Snake Phantom
"I actually survived..."
Fang Yan opened his eyes, unsure how much time had passed. At this moment, he felt immense pain all over his body, as if his soul was being forcibly torn apart. Yet he was very happy now, because he was still alive, and that was better than anything else!
Recalling what had happened before, his heart was filled with lingering fear. Just a little more, and he would have been completely obliterated. Dealing with that old pervert called World Evil Overlord was truly life-threatening. At the last moment, he even felt that his Divine Soul could collapse at any time; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost consciousness.
But fortunately, he survived, giving him a sense of rebirth after disaster. However, the terrifying aftermath of the Soul-Splitting Life-Ending Pill was something he never wanted to experience again. The pain could be described as worse than death, and anyone else would have probably gone mad from the agony.
Regardless, being alive now made him genuinely happy. Although his Divine Soul was injured and his body was even more severely wounded, unable to move at all, he didn’t care about anything else. Because he still had the Space Ring containing Qin Kun, Wu Shan, the Redflame Dragon Wolf Beast, and the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, he reckoned his life was saved.
Forcing the fluctuating Divine Sense, Fang Yan felt his head about to explode with pain. But he had no choice at the moment, and could only barely use Divine Sense to release Qin Kun and Wu Shan.
"Boss!"
"Boss, what’s wrong with you?"
...
Seeing Fang Yan on the ground, Qin Kun and Wu Shan instantly cried out in shock and rushed to his side, their faces filled with horror. They couldn’t imagine what kind of battle Fang Yan went through to sustain such injuries, nor could they imagine how terrifyingly strong that old ghost was. This... this was simply outrageous; they certainly didn’t want to see Fang Yan die!
"Stop babbling, shove all the elixirs into my mouth!" Fang Yan’s head couldn’t even turn, and he spoke to them in an extremely weak voice. He didn’t want to waste time now.
No sooner had his voice fallen than Qin Kun and Wu Shan started rummaging through their Space Bag, quickly finding some elixirs inside. Without bothering to check what kind of elixir they were, they stuffed them all into Fang Yan’s mouth, almost choking him!
But Fang Yan couldn’t care about such things now. He immediately bit down and swallowed those elixirs. As long as his body recovered somewhat, and his Gang Qi could recover a bit, he’d have a way to get up, and relying on his own strength, his body could quickly return to peak condition.
Seeing Fang Yan stop speaking and close his eyes, Qin Kun and Wu Shan immediately understood that Fang Yan was healing. Therefore, they didn’t say much for fear of disturbing Fang Yan’s healing process, and directly sat down beside him, cultivating while protecting him.
Time flies...
After a long while, Fang Yan felt a burning sensation on his body. This feeling brought a smile to his face because it was a sign that Gang Qi had appeared, indicating the Gang Qi in his body had started circulating. Thus, his body recovery would become much easier.
Once the Gang Qi circulated for several Complete Cycles, the crimson Gang Qi on him suddenly vanished, replaced by golden Gang Qi tightly wrapping around him. From the outside, Fang Yan seemed enveloped in a giant golden egg, with nothing but gleaming golden light visible.
"Boss is too severely injured this time!"
"Yeah, seeing Boss’s golden light, I’m relieved!"
Seeing the golden light on Fang Yan, Qin Kun and Wu Shan finally smiled. They had experienced the miraculous effect of Fang Yan’s golden light; when they were seriously injured before, after passing through the golden light, there was no trace of harm as if they were never injured. Therefore, Fang Yan should recover himself shortly, relieving them of any worries.
This was indeed the case. After about four to five hours, the golden light on Fang Yan completely dissipated, and he stood up from the ground, casually putting on some clothes. However, Fang Yan’s complexion was still not very good. Although physical injuries were easy to recover from, this battle severely injured his Divine Soul, which could only be slowly nurtured, with no rush able to change that.
"Boss, how are you feeling?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Yeah, Boss, tell us quickly, what just happened?"
Looking at Fang Yan, whose expression still wasn’t too good, Qin Kun and Wu Shan quickly spoke. They were genuinely curious about what had happened earlier, and what kind of opponent could put Fang Yan in such a state...
"Don’t mention it. I just encountered a Divine Soul Body called the World Evil Overlord. Who knows how long it’s lived—it was practically an old freak. Luckily, I managed to kill it at the last moment, otherwise, you might not have seen me again." Fang Yan lamented, but he still felt a lingering fear in his heart. He truly didn’t expect this Death God’s soul body to be so formidable. If that entity were alive, probably only a Heavenly Immortal Realm powerhouse could stand a chance against such a pervert.
"Heavens! How is this possible?"
"A Divine Soul Body? How can it live so long and even beat you up like this, Boss?"
Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, Qin Kun and Wu Shan were instantly stunned. They hadn’t anticipated Fang Yan would encounter such a thing, but they were both very puzzled. A Divine Soul Body is basically a cultivator whose physical body collapses, forcing their divine soul out to live for a period. However, this period can’t be too long. If methods to preserve one’s life aren’t found during this time, the divine soul will completely dissipate. For Boss to encounter one this formidable truly baffled them.
"What’s so strange? Haven’t you thought about the origin of the Ghost Souls Spirit Forbidden Land?" Seeing them still in a confused state, Fang Yan shook his head and said to them, "Didn’t you notice anything different about that pool?"
After speaking, Fang Yan pointed to the pool not far away and said to the two, "The jade floating above that pool is called Warm Divine Jade. It specifically nourishes divine souls. It’s precisely because of the Warm Divine Jade that the divine souls here don’t dissipate, leading to us encountering so many divine soul attacks earlier."
"Ah! Such an extraordinary artifact?"
"So that’s what it is. No wonder Boss said he saw ghosts earlier!"
Qin Kun and Wu Shan understood what Fang Yan meant only now. If the Warm Divine Jade existed here, then it explained the super powerhouse’s divine soul that Fang Yan encountered. No wonder they were attacked when climbing the mountain—everything was due to the presence of Warm Divine Jade here. Without the Warm Divine Jade, the weaker divine soul bodies might have dissipated.
But just as they were saying this, Fang Yan suddenly froze, looking towards the Warm Divine Jade with an incredulous expression. He could feel his injured divine soul being nourished and healed by the faint seven lights of the Warm Divine Jade—a recovery speed he hadn’t even imagined, thinking to himself how extraordinary this Warm Divine Jade truly was.
Glancing at Qin Kun and Wu Shan, Fang Yan chose not to say anything and moved directly to the edge of the small pool, closing his eyes. The faint golden light on him transformed into a Gang Qi arm, wanting to take the Warm Divine Jade from the pool for serious study.
Yet, unexpectedly, his Gang Qi Giant Hand hadn’t reached above the pool before the pool underwent a change. The originally small pool suddenly surged skyward, and a faint shadow resembling a small snake encircled the Warm Divine Jade. Its golden snake eyes glared at Fang Yan with a warning look.
This...
Fang Yan’s Gang Qi Giant Hand instantly paused, and he retracted it, not daring to continue. The small snake-like shadow gave him an extremely terrifying feeling. Without exaggeration, he didn’t doubt for a moment that this shadow could kill him instantly! Fortunately, after he retracted his Gang Qi Giant Hand, the snake-like shadow vanished. Otherwise, Fang Yan might not have withstood that extreme sense of danger!
At this moment, Fang Yan finally understood something—the Warm Divine Jade was truly a miraculous treasure. It had existed on the Ghost Soul Continent for countless years without anyone taking it away. If not for the small snake-like shadow’s existence, other powerhouses surely would have acted, and the World Evil Overlord he encountered wouldn’t have left it untouched. Would it still exist now!
Although Fang Yan didn’t know what the small snake-like shadow was, he no longer wanted to pursue it. As long as the Warm Divine Jade could nourish his divine soul, he didn’t need to approach the pool itself but could heal his divine soul’s wounds at the side.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan cautiously moved closer to the pool until about fifty zhang away from it, when the snake shadow reappeared. Discovering this pattern, he stopped approaching the pool, sat down, and focused on circulating a Cultivation Technique to nourish the divine soul, using the mysterious aura emitted by the Warm Divine Jade to heal the divine soul’s injuries.
Seeing Fang Yan no longer approach, the snake shadow also ceased to display hostility, hovering over the Warm Divine Jade and curling up as if sleeping, letting Fang Yan absorb the jade’s aura...
This scene almost stunned Qin Kun and Wu Shan. They hadn’t expected the Warm Divine Jade to have a guardian, but the real mystery was the snake wasn’t physical, yet it exerted such pressure on them. In front of the snake, the two of them didn’t even count as ants. The oppressive feeling was terrifying, making their scalps tingle just thinking about it.
Watching Fang Yan sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then looking at the snake, the two could only quietly sit down, practicing their own cultivation techniques, having no choice but to wait here without knowing how long Fang Yan would take.
Thus, Fang Yan remained still in a state of nourishing his divine sense, while Qin Kun and Wu Shan entered a meditative state, and the snake coiled up in the air as if sleeping, everyone forming a tacit balance...
