Peerless War God

3The inborn talisman was truly mysterious and profound; it contained the fundamental principles of the Heavenly Dao. However, no one could understand it. At the very least, Chen Xiao, who was only at the Saint Exemplary Realm, was completely ignorant.    

    

However, he knew something about this, it was that the clearer and more complete this innate ability talisman was, it meant that this demon beast's ability was stronger and more powerful.    

    

The talisman of the golden threadworm was too clear and complete.    

    

Even Chen Xiao had seen it before. He had fought countless demon beasts, but he had never seen such a complete demon beast. This meant that its potential was enormous.    

    

Especially after consuming a hundred low-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasures, his potential had been completely stimulated.    

    

Chen Xiao's eyes were shining with excitement as he could foresee how powerful the spiritual embryo refined from it would be.    

    

"You can begin."    

    

He sat down on the ground and waved his right hand, taking out countless spirit materials, pills and demon beast blood. The fragrance of medicine filled the air and floated before his eyes.    

    

"Let's go."    

    

He waved his right hand again, and in an instant, these spiritual materials and pills that had cost him almost everything turned into rays of light and shot into the body of the golden nematode.    

    

At the same time, he continued to form hand seals. These Seal s were simply too complicated, and there were usually dozens of different changes to a complete Seal.    

    

At first, the variant golden nematode did not feel anything, but soon it let out a painful cry, like that of a newborn baby, which was extremely horrifying.    

    

The intelligence of insect type demon beasts was very low, almost all actions were based on instinct.    

    

Even though the Golden Nematode had such low intelligence, it still felt uneasy and fearful at this time. However, this didn't last for long before it stopped.    

    

Under the drive of Chen Xiao's Seal, the large amount of spirit materials, pills and demon beast blood began to fuse with the variant golden nematode.    

    

A terrifying aura of Qi and blood that was completely different from before surged out from his body, perfectly blending together with the aura of metal on his body.    

    

The two didn't conflict, and fusing them would only make them even more powerful.    

    

However, at the critical moment of its fusion, it began to slow down. It even encountered resistance. This was the mutated golden nematode's instinct, urging it to resist this process.    

    

However, in Chen Xiao's eyes, it was very uncomfortable and he shouted:    

    

"Come out."    

    

He grabbed with his right hand, and a terrifying suction force came from his palm. A ball of pale golden air was forcibly extracted from the body of the variant golden nematode.    

    

This light golden ball of air was not big, and its shape was uncertain. It was the result of the variant golden nematode's spiritual consciousness.    

    

Compared to the human soul, it was simply too inferior.    

    

At this time, the Black Spirit Sub-Soul, who had been meditating without any reaction, suddenly opened his eyes. His nose inhaled and the light golden ball of air cried out. It was sucked into his stomach. Only then did he close his eyes again.    

    

Even after his spiritual consciousness was separated from his body, the variant golden nematode's body was still alive. There was no change at all. It was extremely magical.    

    

This was similar to a person's body surviving after their soul left it. In the eyes of a mortal, it was akin to being possessed by a soul, becoming hysterical.    

    

In the eyes of cultivators, it was just their soul leaving their body. The truth was, all of this made sense.    

    

Without the help of the variant golden threadworm's body, the fusion continued without a hitch.    

    

The initial appearance of the golden threadworm had also changed, mixing together to form a bloody ball of golden light.    

    

On the surface of the ball of meat, countless magical talismans could be seen rotating, which was quite magical.    

    

At this step, the spirit embryo would be at its initial completion. Next, all he had to do was allow the Black Spirit Sub-Soul to absorb it.    

    

Chen Xiao frowned as he looked at the golden light circulating around the ball of flesh that was a hundred feet tall and had a mystical aura.    

    

"Not enough. Too weak."    

    

That's right, it was too weak, the energy contained in this blood was too weak. Compared to the many demon beasts he had seen, it was nothing, especially the iron-backed sea dragon beast, which was at least ten times weaker.    

    

Once such a spirit embryo was successfully created, the divine ability of metal would indeed be very strong, but the strength of the body would be far from enough.    

    

"I need more blood energy."    

    

Chen Xiao took out all the demon beast blood from his storage ring and merged it all into the meat ball, but it was still not enough.    

    

After a short pause, he took out the Blood Crystals he had taken from the island.    

    

Previously, in order to compete for and protect this mysterious blood-red crystal, the Mojiao clan had lost over a hundred elite warriors, as well as three ancestors. Even the enormous tentacle sea monster had been badly injured.    

    

Chen Xiao snatched food from the tiger's mouth and only got half of the Blood Crystal.    

    

"Let me fuse them."    

    

He took out his sword and cut down a large chunk of the mysterious blood-red crystal, and inserted it into the meat ball. Then, he used a large number of hand seals to attempt to merge the blood energy from the crystal into the meat ball.    

    

Indeed, it was as he had expected. He had released a steady flow of blood energy from the blood crystal and fused it into the ball of meat. But this process was just too slow, just too slow.    

    

He frowned deeply. At this speed, even thirty to fifty years might not be enough for him to fully fuse them.    

    

Right now, what he lacked the most was time. He couldn't wait any longer.    

    

"Fuse, I don't believe it."    

    

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, and his ten fingers formed a series of afterimages as he tried to combine with his full strength.    

    

The only problem was that the effect was not ideal. Although the speed was a bit faster, it was still very limited.    

    

Suddenly, a thought struck him and he slowly turned his head to look at the Black Spirit Sub-Soul in the middle of meditating.    

    

Almost at the same time, the Black Spirit's soul fragment felt something and slowly opened its eyes. It stood up and walked towards Chen Xiao with an incomparably oppressive force.    

    

The Black Spirit Soul Division soul walked in front of the ball of meat, reached out with his right hand and pressed.    

    

A strange ripple surged out from his palm and instantly rushed into the ball of meat. The energy of his blood surged, and the ball of meat began to squirm. It was like a heart, moving rhythmically.    

    

Soon after, blood-red runes began to slowly appear one by one.    

    

As these inscriptions appeared, the qi and blood aura on the ball of flesh suddenly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, it had doubled in strength … It was still going on.    

    

The blood-red symbol and the Golden Divine Talisman were completely fused together.    

    

These blood-colored inscriptions originated from the dried blood art, the Demon Domain power technique on the black stone board.    

    

As soon as the blood symbols appeared, the fusion speed of the blood energy inside the crystal suddenly accelerated by more than a hundred times. Soon, the entire chunk of blood crystal had been consumed.    

    

Chen Xiao immediately cut another huge chunk of the mysterious blood-red crystal and merged it into the crystal. Meanwhile, the Black Spirit Sub-soul continued to stand on the spot, activating the Blood Power.    

    

The two had a clear division of labor and were very harmonious.    

    

Finally, when more than half of the mysterious blood-red crystal had been cut off and there was only a small piece left, Chen Xiao knew it was enough and the Black Spirit Sub-soul also stopped moving.
