Chapter 283: Opportunistic Kill
With a flash in his eyes, Yi Yun’s vision penetrated through the layers of haze. He instantly saw the scene a distance away. It was a teenage boy and girl fighting a gigantic red ant.
Yi Yun also recognized this red ant. It was the tallic Fire Ant. Its body was covered in red armor that made it virtually invulnerable.
Its weakness was its antennae. Once its antennae were cut off, the tallic Fire Ant would go blind. Not only would its perception be slow, it would also receive a great deal of damage.
When that happened, killing it was much easier. But the tallic Fire Ant would protect its antennae very carefully. Anyone who tried attacking its antennae had to deal with the tallic Fire Ant’s ferocious tallic pincers first!
The male-female duo were clearly weaker than the tallic Fire Ant, so they were in a dangerous situation.
“They should be cultivators from the Tai Ah Divine City...”
Yi Yun determined that the duo ca from the Tai Ah Divine City through their attire and their cultivation techniques
He was in a slight dilemma. He did not rush forward imdiately. He saw that the duo were barely handling it, but they would not be defeated anyti soon.
He had to try absorbing the pure Yang beast mark first. This was the first pure Yang desolate beast Yi Yun had killed in the teorite Abyss. He could not waste his first auspicious kill as the beast mark could not be condensed if he did too late after the desolate beast’s death.
Yi Yun interfaced with the Purple Crystal with his spiritual energy and a whirlpool like force appeared, attaching itself to the Double Winged Ox Demon that Yi Yun had just killed.
Wo! Wo! Wo!
Energy began to swirl as the desolate beast’s Yang essence was extracted. A Double Winged Ox Demon beast mark, the size of a fist that looked very lifelike, ford in the air
Once the beast mark appeared, it tried to fly away imdiately. With a thought, Yi Yun used a large suction power to draw it in, and the beast mark was instantly engulfed by his body.
After the beast mark entered Yi Yun’s body, his body trembled. He could feel the pure Yang energy flowing within his body before entering his bones and blood, slowly entering his Dantian.
The pure Yang Yuan Qi that Yi Yun absorbed was like a furnace that burned. It tempered Yi Yun’s body’s bones and blood, completing the harmonization process even more.
“As expected, the desolate beasts in the teorite Abyss have extrely rich and pure Yang Yuan Qi. I can finally condensed a pure Yang totem...”
Yi Yun followed the records in the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ and tried to use the beast mark to form a pure Yang totem. This was the first ti that Yi Yun was attempting to condense a ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ Aspect Totem. The Thousand Feet Black Silkworm he had previously killed was not a pure Yang desolate beast, so Yi Yun only absorbed its beast mark. It was unlike today, where Yi Yun used the beast mark energy as a foundation to construct the Aspect Totem.
As top grade totem mystic technique that received poor assessnt and one that sages could not even understand, Yi Yun was full of anticipation with the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ Aspect Totem!
As his energy circulated, Yi Yun felt his body subtly tamorphosize. He was inexplicably delighted and he beca even more serious.
But when Yi Yun completely broke down the Double Winged Ox Demon’s beast mark, he found it hard to be happy when he tried to form the Aspect Totem.
Although the Double Winged Ox Demon was relatively weak, it had quite a lot of pure Yang energy contained in its body. But it could not even complete 1 in 10,000th of the Aspect Totem.
So little?
Yi Yun was speechless. He had the Purple Crystal Origins help, so he was confident that he had an incomparable advantage in the condensation of the beast mark. But even so, to really master the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ was still difficult to a certain degree.
Did he really need to kill 10,000 Double Winged Ox Demon desolate beasts to barely condense an Aspect Totem?
The number 10,000 might sound simple, but to kill that many would take an unknown amount of ti. Also, Yi Yun did not know if there would be any accidents when he used the energy to condense after he killed thousands of desolate beasts.
Many warriors might lose all their hard work just before they condense their Aspect Totem due to various reasons!
It was also because of this that people who could condense an Aspect Totem before the Yuan foundation realm were viewed as peerless geniuses. Even Qin Haotian did not have any advantage in condensing an Aspect Totem.
“This ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ sure is tricky...Other people’s totem mystic techniques are easier, so even if they lose all their hard work, it would not be too significant a loss. But my totem mystic technique is different...If I were to fail, I would suffer a great loss...”Yi Yun grimaced.
Originally, he believed that with the Purple Crystal Origin’s help, it would not be difficult to master the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’, but now it seems that even the Purple Crystal Origins had to follow certain rules.
The ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ wrote that to completely master the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’, one had to kill 10,000 primordial species.
The greatest difference between a primordial species and an ordinary desolate beast was in their energy qualities.
The Purple Crystal could control energy according to his wishes, but it could not change the quality of the energy. The Double Winged Ox Demon’s energy quality was clearly too low. It was not qualified to form the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ Aspect Totem!
“It’s impossible for to try killing primordial species. It looks like I need to try to kill even higher ranked pure Yang desolate beasts. I need to see if those pure Yang desolate beast’s energies are able to barely build up the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ Aspect Totem.” Yi Yun sighed.
This was the problem with an extrely high grade mystic technique. Even sages could not master it, it was easy to understand the difficulty he faced with his Purple Blood realm level.
“It’s no wonder that even senior Cang Yan tried all ways to prevent from choosing the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’. Even though I had used only a few days before to gain insight on the Saber Truth’s 32 Words, he still did not think I could learn the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’. This totem mystic technique sure is difficult...”
As Yi Yun was thinking it through, a girl’s scream resonated not far away. It seed like she was in great danger.
“Oh? Can’t hold on anymore?”
Yi Yun turned around and glanced in that direction. He saw that the tallic Red Ant was covered in a layer of ice crystals. It was in a rage as it attacked the duo crazily.
These ice crystals were clearly caused by an explosive array bead that the duo used. But not only did they not injure the tallic Fire Ant, they angered it.
Since they were all from the Tai Ah Divine City, even if they did not know each other, Yi Yun would not stand by without helping. He pulled his Thousand Army Saber out and his body ford a series of afterimages as he charged towards the tallic Fire Ant!
With the saber wind blowing, Yi Yun’s appearance made the energy of the surroundings fluctuate dramatically.
The duo, that was struggling to handle the tallic Fire Ant, had no ti to notice other things and they finally realized that there was another person nearby.
Seeing Yi Yun, they were overjoyed. The youth imdiately shouted. “Friend, let the three of us join forces and kill this tallic Fire Ant. Don’t be stingy with any life-saving trump cards you have. After we kill the tallic Fire Ant, you can have all the best materials!”
Because of the tallic Fire Ant’s attack, the youth’s voice was in a hurry. He felt that his conditions were very favorable.
But before he finished saying his words, Yi Yun had rushed towards the tallic Fire Ant’s head like a strong gust of wind!
Yi Yun’s target was naturally the tallic Fire Ant’s antennae!
That tallic Fire Ant did not seem to expect that a small human would suddenly rush in front of it. After a montary hesitation, it jerked its two antennae back!
At the sa ti, it opened up its tallic-like pincers and tried to bite Yi Yun!
The tallic Fire Ant’s tallic pincers could even snap a black iron column!
“Ah!”
The girl, who was not far away, let out a scream. The tallic Fire Ant was extrely difficult to handle and everyone knew its weakness was its antennae, but attacking its antennae was easier said than done.
The tallic Fire Ant’s reaction was extrely fast and hastily rushing up would not only be difficult to attack the tallic Fire Ant’s antennae, one would also face the tallic Fire Ant’s most powerful attack!
The girl subconsciously thought of the scene where Yi Yun was bitten to death and her heart swelled up.
In a split second, Yi Yun’s reaction was fast. He used the large success stage of Minute Subtlety movents to change directions midway in the air. At the sa ti, with a wipe of his interspatial ring, a black beam flashed, and Yi Yun attacked with the golden brick.
“Ka-cha!”
The golden brick hit the tallic Fire Ant’s mouth directly!
Yi Yun’s brick may not have any rune inscriptions, but as the highly tempered frost tal was the hardest and most heavy material, the tallic Fire Ant’s brain received a shock when it bit forward, not to even ntion the tallic Fire Ant’s pincer.
This feeling was as if a person had used a million pound sledgehamr to smash its head. No matter how strong one’s body was, it still caused dizziness.
In that split second when the tallic Fire Ant was in a daze, Yi Yun used the Thousand Army Saber and aid at the tallic Fire Ant’s two feelers as the blade cut down!
“Cha!”
The Saber Qi flared and shone through the sky like a white waterfall!
Although the tallic Fire Ant had retracted its antennae, it could still not escape the powerful blade.
“Cha!”
Two of the tallic Fire Ant’s antennae flew up. It had been chopped off by Yi Yun!
“Ah–!”
The tallic Fire Ant let out a scream that pierced the eardrums!
The tallic Fire Ant beca blind imdiately. Its pain made it crash haphazardly, causing large rocks to fall.
The tallic Fire Ant’s armor was hard not because of the shell itself, but because it contained a layer of pure Yang energy.
The antennae of the tallic Fire Ant allowed it to interface with the world’s pure Yang energy. Without its antennae, all the the energy would leak out from the tallic Fire Ant’s wound. So it beca much easier attacking it.
Yi Yun waited for about ten seconds as the tallic Fire Ant went crazy. He eyed an opportunity and with a flash of his body, he appeared before the tallic Fire Ant’s head and stabbed the saber into the tallic Fire Ant’s mouth!
“Phuah!”
Yi Yun withdrew the Thousand Army Saber and green juice splattered out. The tallic Fire Ant struggled crazily for a few tis before it crashed into a large boulder the size of a house, eventually falling to the ground.
Yi Yun let out a sigh of relief.
Done!
This tallic Fire Ant was much stronger than the Double Winged Ox Demon from before. If not, the duo would not have been in such a pathetic state.
At this mont behind Yi Yun, the duo, who were planning to join forces with Yi Yun and wanted to use all trump cards to deal with the tallic Fire Ant, were completely stunned.
They looked at Yi Yun’s back in a daze. Their mouths were slightly agape and they took a long ti to close them.
This small guy looked about thirteen years old, and he was definitely a rookie cultivator, yet he could cleanly kill the tallic Fire Ant?
He was practically a humanoid desolate beast!
