Chirp!

After the Golden Roc got over his shock, he let out a resentful cry and swooped down again. He launched a fierce attack on Yang Ling. In the beginning, he was just probing his opponent’s power, and he didn’t use even half of his power. But now, he realized that Yang Ling’s power had risen greatly, and he didn’t hesitate any longer. He gritted his teeth and made an all-out effort. His body shone with black radiance, and a strong black armor was formed atop his dense scales.

The Golden Roc was a Flying Magical Beast at the level of a Wandering Divine Beast. He still didn’t recover his peak state’s power, but his fighting prowess was still great. His colossal body was like a falling meteor, and it became swifter. He sped up repeatedly, and his large, sharp claws shone with a cold glint. His claws were like a Death God’s sickle, and they emitted intense Energy Ripples. Wherever he passed by, the surrounding space would be shaken intensely, and many spatial fissures would appear. He emitted an ear-piercing tearing noise as he pounced at Yang Ling, who was on the ground.

“Good. It’s good that you have come over. Spatial Fetters!” Yang Ling looked at the swift Golden Roc, which instantly reached his head. His pupils contracted, and he immediately cast the Spatial Fetters before he pulled out the Battle Soul Blade on his back. He didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced and faced his opponent head-on.

After Yang Ling had become a High-Level Soul Wizard, he had felt like his power had risen by a thousand-fold. Both his offensive and defensive power weren’t at the same level as before. But he still couldn’t figure out precisely the degree of his power growth. The Wandering Divine Beast, which recovered just two-thirds of its power, was obviously the best sparring partner.

Buzz!

The black Battle Soul Blade let out a soft cry, and it turned into a cold light that flew at the Golden Roc’s giant claw. If one observed this carefully, he would discover that strange black light was within the cold light, and it was added to it by the Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell. The Battle Soul Blade’s overwhelming murderous aura was already able to inflict harm on souls, and after it was strengthened by the Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell, which was specialized in breaking a soul’s defense, the soul attack of Yang Ling’s blade reached a formidable level.

“Heart Piercing Claw, die!”

When Yang Ling cast the Binding Space, the Golden Roc shivered, and it was obvious that its speed dropped. But it still let out a shout and gritted its teeth to sped up again. Its speed didn’t drop. Instead, it increased further, and its body shone with bright, black radiance. Even its sharp, large claw got a strange, black luster. It waved its claw at Yang Ling’s head and it let out a loud whistling noise. Its brute power alone was greater than the Giant Ape King’s large rod by a thousand-fold.

After Yang Ling’s body was strengthened greatly, he got confident in blocking the Giant Ape King’s attack head-on, but he still didn’t dare to take carelessly the Golden Roc. This was a Wandering Divine Beast that could easily create a spatial fissure with a length of 100 meters. This was why he let out a shout and thrust his sharp Battle Soul Blade fiercely.

Ding

An intense, metallic, collision sound echoed out, and sparks arose between Yang Ling’s Battle Soul Blade and the Golden Roc’s large claw. Air explosions also occurred, and the intense energy collision between both fighters turned their energy into sharp wind blades, which tore into shreds several large trees in the vicinity. The Giant Ape King, who was observing the battle, moved back, but many fissures still appeared on his heavy armor, and his armor seemed as frail as a rag that could be easily torn to shreds.

The Golden Roc didn’t expect that his all-out attack wouldn’t inflict any damage on Yang Ling’s Battle Soul Blade, and Yang Ling was just sent flying by a dozen meters. Yang Ling also didn’t expect that his all-out attack, as well as the Battle Soul Blade, would be unable to injure the Golden Roc’s giant claw. He also didn’t expect that the black light formed by the Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell would be also unable to break through the Golden Roc’s Soul Defense.

“Lord, take another move.”

The Golden Roc had a great fighting spirit, and he let out a whistle before he pounced again at his opponent. He started fighting against Yang Ling again, and both people exchanged moves repeatedly with neither giving an inch to the other. They were deadlocked, and they turned swifter. They left many afterimages in the air, and a whistling noise echoed out.

Yang Ling made an all-out effort, and the Soul Crystal in his brain released a large amount of dense Crystal Mist, which enveloped a perimeter of several thousand feet around him. If the crowd observed the mist from afar, they would notice a black radiance among it. As both people’s speed rose considerably, the crowd was no longer able to follow them with their eyes.

“It’s amazing. I didn’t expect that the Lord’s power would grow so much in this seclusion session. He still didn’t manage to become a Divine Lord, but he isn’t probably far from this.” Ophilia was very excited. The stronger Yang Ling grew, the closer he would be to becoming a Divine Lord, and this meant that the people who had the Magical Divine Rings would get a high chance to achieve advancement.

As long as Yang Ling became the Magical Beast Divine Branch’s real Divine Lord, they would officially become Divine Duty Experts, and they would get endless benefits.

“That is right. I can’t ascertain something else, but I can at least make certain that he can fight evenly against an apex Divine Duty Expert like Borgans, and he may be able to kill him instantly.” The Corpse Wizard King was also very excited, and he saw hope for his daughter’s revival. Yang Ling was able to fight evenly against a Wandering Divine Beast like the Golden Roc, and his great power could be easily imagined.

...

After the crowd witnessed the Earth-shattering battle of Yang Ling and the Golden Roc, they exclaimed in amazement, and they were shocked again by Yang Ling’s practice speed. But, even though it seemed that Yang Ling fought evenly against the Golden Roc, Yang Ling was aware that he still had a long road of training he must walk down.

After 500 years of arduous practice, the Golden Roc had just recovered 2 thirds of its peak state’s power. Yang Ling was clearly aware of whatever every tenth meant to a Wandering Divine Beast at the level of the Golden Roc. If the Golden Roc was at its peak state, Yang Ling would have been probably defeated long ago.

Meanwhile, the more the Golden Roc fought, the more surprised he became. It wasn’t just the Corpse Wizard King and others alone who were stunned, and even the Golden Roc was also stunned by Yang Ling’s practice speed. People usually wouldn’t manage to achieve a breakthrough even after practicing for several ten thousand years or several hundred thousand years, and they would be never able to become a Dimensional Wanderer; this was why he didn’t expect that Yang Ling would reach this level with a practice session of 500 years. If Yang Ling continued practicing at the same speed, he would shortly become a Low-Level Divine Lord and he might even get a Dimensional Wanderer’s power in one go.

...

Both Yang Ling and the Golden Roc benefited greatly from this battle. The Golden Roc discovered that he had a lot of weaknesses that could be exploited by people. As for Yang Ling, he brandished his sword thousands upon thousands of times, and he fought to his heart’s content. This was why he got greater benefits, and he felt like he got some obscure insights. He also got the idea to create a Blade Technique which could break all of the worlds’ laws.

Splitting wind, splitting water, splitting soil...

No matter if it was an ordinary God-Level expert or a Dimensional Wanderer, most of them focused on a single law, and their offense and defense depended upon their comprehension of that law. If Yang Ling could comprehend that law and come up with a way to break it, then he would truly walk down the road of controlling the whole world. He would be invincible, and he could run amok in innumerable Dimensions.

The Battle Soul Blade contained a Great Soul Wizard’s unyielding fighting spirit!

Upon grasping the Battle Soul Blade, Yang Ling was brimming with confidence and expectations for the future.

...

In the next month, Yang Ling continued sparring against the Golden Roc during the day, and at night, he seized the time to study the Ice-Sealing Law, Force Law, Lightning Law, and the blade’s mysteries. He planned to create a Blade Technique that could break all of the world’s laws, and this was why he had to start from the three laws he knew well.

“Lord, the Magical Beast Weapon Factory manufactured new God Slaughtering Arrows, and their might is greater than before by ten-fold. Why don’t you try them personally?” This day, when Yang Ling had just sat cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar, Master Aaron, the Corpse Wizard King, and other people sought him excitedly

God Slaughtering Arrows?

Yang Ling couldn’t help but think about the God Slaughtering Arrows in the hands of the old man clad in luxurious clothes from Longbarton Divine Branch. Even Borgans, who was an expert at the peak of the Eighth Level Divine Duty Stage, dreaded those God Slaughtering Arrows. As a “swooshing” sound echoed out, Yang Ling walked toward the crowd, and he received from Master Aaron a large bow, which reached a man’s waist. He took aim at a distant boulder and took a deep breath before he fired an arrow decisively.

Swoosh!

The sharp arrow, made out of Pure Gold Sand, turned into a black light beam and flew out. It instantly reached the boulder quietly and penetrated it. It penetrated it easily as if it was soft tofu, and it still retained power even after penetrating it. The arrow continued flying and penetrated 100 large trees.

“It’s amazing, it’s stronger than the sample left behind by Longbarton Divine Branch.” Upon getting wind of this matter, the Blood Angel Ophilia rushed over here and she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

“If someone was targeted by 100 strong bows like this one... Even a Divine Lord wouldn’t dare to take them carelessly.” The Golden Roc looked at the longbow, which had many symbols carved on it. This bow was made from Moon Soul Stones, as well as Ten-Thousand-Year Old Eagle Wood. After the Golden Roc observed it, it looked at the sharp arrows made from Pure Gold Sand and sucked in a breath of cold air.

Longbarton Divine Branch’s God Slaughtering Arrows were titled the Master Divine Weapon with the highest offensive power, and their reputation instilled fear in everyone’s hearts. They were always Longbarton Divine Branch’s core treasures. He didn’t expect that Master Aaron and his companions would manage to imitate it, and they still created ones with greater power.

“How many of this strong bow can we craft?” Yang Ling stroked the symbols on the bow. He was very overjoyed. If he could form a team of archers with God-Level Magical Beasts and equip them with this reinforced Godslayer Bow, then, who could still rival their team?

“This is...” Master Arrow let out a sheepish laugh and stroked his white beard before he spoke, “Lord, the rate of defective products is very high, and this is why 100 pieces of ten-thousand-year-old Eagle Wood, as well as dozen Moon Soul Stones as big as a basin, must be consumed to make a single reinforced Godslayer Bow. This is why we can’t manufacture it. We don’t have many pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Old Eagle Wood left over. As for the Moon Soul Stones, they are more...”

“What! Isn’t the defective products’ rate very high?” Yang Ling shook his head. He got many Moon Soul Stones in the Demon Hall, but, if they were squandered by Master Aaron like this, even a mine of Moon Soul Stones wouldn’t be able to support him. “Aaron, I have 30 pieces of Moon Soul Stones. You must craft four other reinforced Godslayer Bows at any cost, and the quicker the better!”

After several hundred years of arduous practice, the purple mouse Little Ice and the Thousand-faced Mink advanced into the God-Level, and it was the same for the Undead Knight Commander Winnink. His Shadow Wizardry reached perfection, and, upon seeing his skill in curbing his aura, as well as hiding his tracks, even the Wandering Divine Beast, Golden Roc, gasped in amazement. After Yang Ling experienced the terror of the reinforced God Slaughtering Arrows, he decided to form a Godslayer Battle Team commanded by the Shadow Wizard Winnink. This team would be specialized in assassinating the enemies’ leader.
