God of Pets-Chapter 597: Endless Primordial Energy

"Who exactly are you?" Chen Guan frowned and asked the River God.

The art of soul-calling—such a skill is scarcely heard of. Even someone like Jin Taohua, a Female Demon, uses the Blood Spirit Banner, which can’t be considered a soul-calling technique, as it merely leaves behind a remnant Blood Spirit Body.

As for the legendary Soul-Calling Banner, Chen Guan has only heard of it but never seen it, nor heard of anyone truly using it.

When most people mention the Soul-Calling Banner, they are nearly always referring to the Blood Spirit Banner.

"I told you, I forgot my name long ago." The River God did not wish to waste more words with Chen Guan; he only wanted to kill Chen Guan and reclaim the Mountain and River Map.

This time, the River God directly struck with a palm.

His Palm Power transformed into a surging river, like a waterfall cascading from a mountain peak, wave after wave, overwhelmingly terrifying.

Such a Palm Technique is somewhat similar to Duan Shulin’s Great River Demon Fist, both of which have an endless flow of Primordial Energy, one wave propelling the next.

Chen Guan’s Body Protection Divine Skill could certainly be tested, but Chen Guan did not wish to use his body to withstand it at this moment. He directly took out the Mountain-Opening Axe and slashed toward the river-like Palm Power.

The waterfall-like Palm Power suddenly seemed to be cut open by scissors; the axe light surged upstream and slashed toward the River God’s body.

"The Mountain-Opening Axe is in your hands!" The River God dodged the axe light with a flash of his figure, his eyes revealing surprise.

"Since you know the power of the Mountain-Opening Axe, why won’t you let me out?" Chen Guan pretended to be timid, seemingly wanting to leave the Imperial Palace quickly.

"If you didn’t have the Mountain-Opening Axe, I might let you live if I were in a good mood. But since you have the Mountain-Opening Axe, I definitely cannot let you escape," said the River God.

"With both the Mountain-Opening Axe and the Mountain and River Map in my hand, what can you do to me? If you don’t let me go, you might be the one who dies," Chen Guan snorted coldly.

The River God laughed: "You think well. If you were level 60, your words might have some truth. Unfortunately, you are only level 31; with that amount of Primordial Energy, it’s not just using the Mountain and River Map—you can’t even release many axe lights. How hard could it be to deal with you?"

With that, the River God struck out with Palm Power again, only to have it cleaved apart by Chen Guan’s Mountain-Opening Axe, prompting him to strike with Palm Power several more times.

Seeing Chen Guan grit his teeth, swinging the axe over and over, his expression growing more ferocious, the River God’s mood only improved.

The Mountain-Opening Axe and the Mountain and River Map are indeed powerful, but without sufficient Primordial Energy support, even the strongest Secret Treasure is useless.

He intended to deplete Chen Guan’s Primordial Energy, leaving him powerless and then easily reclaim the two Secret Treasures.

However, after striking out over a dozen palms, the River God couldn’t help but frown.

Although Chen Guan’s expression grew increasingly contorted, he had indeed released over a dozen axe lights. A typical level 31 Cultivator shouldn’t have such a wealth of Primordial Energy.

"Judging by his appearance, he should be forcing himself to use his body to overdraft energy; he might directly collapse and die soon," the River God thought to himself as he looked at Chen Guan’s face, which seemed to wear a mask of agony.

Yet, after delivering several more palms, the River God noticed that Chen Guan’s expression turned more contorted and unpleasant, but he still wielded the Mountain-Opening Axe to cleave the Palm Power apart.

"Should be nearing his limit..." The River God saw Chen Guan’s face almost scrunched up in pain, so he unleashed several more palms.

As more palms passed, the River God began to feel something was amiss; he realized his Primordial Energy had been consumed by half, yet Chen Guan was still able to endure—it seemed quite unusual, particularly abnormal.

"You’ve consumed many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that increase Primordial Energy capacity; in that case, once I refine your corpse into an Elixir, it will be of great benefit," the River God, unconvinced, didn’t believe Chen Guan’s Primordial Energy could be deeper than his.

But as palm after palm struck out, and as the River God’s Primordial Energy diminished, Chen Guan’s twisted expression gradually relaxed, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Your Primordial Energy is truly deep!" Knowing he had fallen into Chen Guan’s trap again, the River God ceased his attacks.

Chen Guan seemingly sighed with relief and then boastfully said: "You are nothing more than this; so much Primordial Energy was consumed by me. Let’s see how you’ll compete with me."

Upon seeing Chen Guan’s fleeting expression, the River God instantly realized something, wasted no time, and unleashed a palm, coldly snorting: "You’ve exhausted your energy—still trying to trick me."

Chen Guan’s expression shifted dramatically, seeming to panic as he swung his axe to defend.

After several more palms, the River God’s previously confident expression froze on his face because he found himself tricked by Chen Guan again.

Chen Guan continued to wield the Mountain-Opening Axe, clearing all the Palm Power the River God unleashed. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Rather than trapping Chen Guan, his actions merely depleted his own Primordial Energy significantly, leaving only a fraction remaining.

Seeing the River God pause, Chen Guan provided no respite, swiftly swinging the Mountain-Opening Axe at the River God.

The River God did not meet the Mountain-Opening Axe head-on, nor could he afford to waste more Primordial Energy; he could only dodge swiftly.

Although using Body Technique also consumes Primordial Energy, it expends considerably less than using Palm Power.

Watching Chen Guan wield the Mountain-Opening Axe, swinging one axe after another, the River God easily evaded, choosing not to immediately charge in.

He believed Chen Guan’s excessive use of the Mountain-Opening Axe would soon exhaust his Primordial Energy, no matter how abundant.

With only minimal energy spent evading, the River God could let Chen Guan trap himself without taking undue risks.

After a while, Chen Guan still cleaved with axe lights, and after a while longer, he continued to cleave with axe lights, seemingly unchanged.

However, the River God himself, though his Primordial Energy consumption using Body Technique was minimal, had depleted even more, growing increasingly scarce.

"Impossible... A level 31 Cultivator... How can his Primordial Energy be so abundant... How many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures has he consumed..." The River God grew increasingly shocked.

Even in his era, it was rare to see someone with such a deep reservoir of Primordial Energy.

The River God realized he couldn’t keep this up; otherwise, he feared being worn down by this mere level 31 youth.

His Body Technique suddenly shifted; the River God rushed toward Chen Guan like mercury spilling over the ground.

If he couldn’t drain Chen Guan, he would simply kill him directly.

The speed and capabilities of a Fourth Awakening Cultivator compared to a Sixth Awakening Cultivator vary greatly; it wouldn’t be difficult to bypass the Mountain-Opening Axe to slay him.

But just as the River God charged down, he suddenly saw a massive figure appear before him—it was none other than the previously fallen Wu Zhiqi.

Boom!

The River God clashed palms with Wu Zhiqi, forcing Wu Zhiqi back several steps, pausing his own offensive momentum.

Before the River God could recover, a gigantic serpent head spewing icy Primordial Energy reached out, revealed to be the nine-headed serpent, Xiangliu.
