"Hmm?"
Bu Yan was taken aback. Shortly after, he was startled to see Qin Shi's black robe fluttering despite the absence of wind. His entire body burst out with a towering purple lightning.
"Didn't you want to kill me?
If you have the ability, then come at me. "
Qin Shi's cold eyes opened and closed. A ruthless glint flickered in the depths of his eyes. Shortly after, he joined his five fingers together and forcefully clenched the void. A lightning dragon soared through the clouds and violently charged towards Bu Yan.
Boom!
The lightning dragon was extremely powerful. Bu Yan's pupils rapidly shrank and he hurriedly retreated. His five fingers gathered in front of his chest and barely managed to gather a faint spiritual light. He wanted to open the barrier.
However, even though he had the cultivation of a Seven Curses Devil Master, his spiritual energy was only at the initial phase of the Four Heavens. Although Qin Shi was also at the Four Heavens, Qin Shi's Four Heavens was at the pinnacle of the Seven Heavens. He was an existence comparable to Sikong Lingnan of the outer domain. Bu Yan's Four Heavens was weaker than many Four Heavens cultivators. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Whether it was spiritual energy or mental energy, Qin Shi's spiritual energy couldn't be judged by ordinary standards. There were too many variables in his body.
Rumble!
Bu Yan's spiritual light was as insignificant as a speck of dust in front of Qin Shi. The lightning dragon merely swung its tail and it shattered the barrier that had yet to condense.
Bang!
Bu Yan suffered a heavy blow and spat out a mouthful of blood. He cursed, "Brat, you're only at the Four Heavens, how can your spiritual energy be so dense?"
Qin Shi didn't explain. He only smiled. "If I didn't have this ability, why would I waste so much effort to lure you out?"
"You deliberately lured me out of the Talisman Demon Gathering?" Bu Yan angrily cursed.
"That's right."
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't polite to Bu Yan. His palm controlled lightning and thunder, causing the sky to darken.
Bu Yan's face was ashen as he finally sensed danger from Qin Shi. If Qin Shi was just an ordinary cultivator, then even if Qin Shi was a Seven Heavens Stage cultivator, Bu Yan would still have the confidence to fight against him. After all, Spiritual Energy had an extremely powerful suppressive effect on ordinary cultivators. However, one mustn't forget that Qin Shi was also extremely powerful in terms of Spiritual Energy. Although it wasn't enough to fight against Bu Yan, it was impossible for him to kill Qin Shi in a short period of time. In addition to his Spiritual Energy cultivation, Bu Yan was definitely not Qin Shi's opponent.
Bu Yan suddenly calmed down when he thought of all these, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, kid, your wishful thinking isn't bad at all. I've let my guard down before, but do you really think that you can defeat me just by relying on your spiritual energy cultivation?"
Seeing Bu Yan's strange expression, Qin Shi was slightly surprised. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't tell what was wrong. Because of this, he quickly distanced himself from Bu Yan.
Bu Yan ignored Qin Shi and allowed him to retreat a hundred meters. "If you want to win by relying on spiritual energy, then I'll play with you." With that, Bu Yan suddenly raised his hand and his forehead flashed. "White Wolf, come out."
Bzzz!
Just like that, an extremely ferocious spiritual energy gushed out from Bu Yan's forehead. The fluctuations of the spiritual energy caused even Qin Shi to be slightly shocked. "This power, is it the peak of the Seven Heavens?"
From Bu Yan's forehead, a white flame swirled. A giant white wolf that was a hundred zhang in size stepped out of thin air and crouched beside Bu Yan. A pair of fiendish eyes pierced towards Qin Shi, as if it wanted to tear Qin Shi to shreds.
"Is that a natal demonic beast?"
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. This was the second time he had seen a natal demonic beast. The first time was in the eastern region of the Crimson Flame Empire, from the Yu Family's Little Qing.
Seeing the white wolf, Qin Shi didn't dare to be careless. A natal demonic beast wasn't as simple as an ordinary Wraith Talisman. If Bu Yan and this white wolf were to fuse together, not only would they not reject each other, but there would also be no time limit.
"Brat, didn't you want to compete with spiritual energy?
Then I'll keep you company! "
Bu Yan's left hand clawed at the white wolf. The wolf's claw and his palm collided, instantly creating a shocking cyclone. A white hurricane wrapped around the two.
When the hurricane dissipated, the giant wolf was long gone. Bu Yan's appearance had also changed. His entire body was covered in white fur, his wolf's head was raised high, and his entire body was crawling like a werewolf.
After the fusion, his cultivation had skyrocketed, reaching the peak of the Seven Heavens. In fact, there were even faint fluctuations of the Eight Heavens.
"This is a little troublesome."
Previously, Qin Shi hadn't considered the matter of natal demonic beasts. Many Talisman Magicians were lame in terms of spiritual energy because they didn't need to cultivate spiritual energy at all. All they needed to do was devour a natal demonic beast with powerful talents. That way, as long as they raised the strength of the demonic beast, their cultivation would naturally increase.
"Brat, die!"
Once the transformation was complete, Bu Yan didn't give Qin Shi a chance to catch his breath. His two thick legs stomped forcefully on the ground, causing the void to ripple. Then, like a cannonball, he shot straight towards Qin Shi.
Bang!
Qin Shi raised his hand to block. Instantly, the wolf's claw sent a numbing sensation through the bones of his hand. "Hah, what powerful strength!"
"Hmph, the White Wolf is a descendant of the Sky Shattering Wolf with the divine power of an Empyrean God. How can a mortal like you look down on it?"
Bu Yan sneered arrogantly. With a sway of his wolf's body, he nimbly dodged and chased after Qin Shi. His wolf's claw was raised above his head and swiped down at Qin Shi.
As the cold wind howled behind him, Qin Shi smirked mockingly. "Let's not even talk about whether my mortal body can look down on that little dog of yours. In terms of speed alone, you're far from my level."
Then, lightning flashed all around him. A layer of invisible lightning flashed, and Qin Shi's figure disappeared from where he stood. As if he had teleported, he circled behind Bu Yan.
That wasn't the end of it. After Bu Yan's illusory figure appeared, he clenched his fist and a layer of golden scale armor covered his skin. "Moreover, in terms of physical strength, I'm afraid even you can't beat me!"
As he finished speaking, he threw a punch. The wind generated by the punch was unusual. It was as if it could pierce through the heavens. The air around his wrist was dispersed as the punch landed squarely on Bu Yan's back.
Boom!
The sudden gust of wind caused Bu Yan to turn pale. He spat out a mouthful of crimson blood. He gritted his teeth in pain and retreated a hundred meters away. "Kid, was that the power you displayed just now the power of a True Dragon or a Luan Phoenix?
How is that possible? "
Qin Shi silently shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care about the Empyrean God's divine power or the descendant of the Sky Shattering Wolf. The way he saw it, he didn't believe that a wolf could be stronger than a True Dragon or a Phoenix.
Qin Shi silently agreed, but it scared Bu Yan badly. "That's impossible. The power of a True Dragon or a Luan Phoenix is the Great Dao that all Talisman Demons pursue. However, a True Dragon is the purest form of Yang, while a Luan Phoenix has a body of extreme Yin. It's already extremely fortunate to be able to obtain one. How can the two powers fuse into one?"
He was right. A True Dragon or a Luan Phoenix was an existence that stood at the peak of the Beast Realm. Logically speaking, these two powers were one Yin and one Yang. It was impossible for ordinary people to fuse them together. Otherwise, their bodies would explode and they would die.
However, what he didn't know was that it was completely different for Qin Shi, who cultivated the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art. His current skin was formed from the body of a Golden Luan Phoenix, while his bones were the body of a True Dragon. Combining the dragon and the phoenix into one, Qin Shi's current body was practically the strongest in the world. Even those Domain Realm experts could only look on from afar.
"Do you still think that you can win with that little white dog?"
Qin Shi smiled coldly. Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes. His figure blurred, and he closed in on Bu Yan's chest with a single step.
Bu Yan was slightly startled. He forcefully slashed down with his wolf claws. Even though he was suppressed by Qin Shi in terms of physical strength, the spiritual pressure of a Seven Heavens Realm expert was still present. In a head-on clash, Qin Shi didn't gain much advantage.
A Seven Heavens Realm expert, the body of a Desolate Beast, and the mental strength that could erupt at any moment. Bu Yan's current cultivation level was lower than even Xu Yan's. If he was thrown into the outer regions of the Chaotic Realm, he would undoubtedly be the third strongest person after Fu Jun and Sikong Lingnan.
The violent clash lasted for more than a hundred moves. Qin Shi frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling about this. If this continued, he could indeed win. However, it would definitely take a lot of time. Moreover, this was under the condition that Deng Kai wouldn't come. Once Deng Kai returned, he would undoubtedly die.
While he was worrying, Bu Yan suddenly ambushed Qin Shi. His wolf claws pierced through Qin Shi's shoulder, causing blood to flow. "Brat, you've been too careless!"
Bang!
Qin Shi groaned in pain and quickly retreated.
However, the corner of his clothes tore apart. A pitch-black baleful aura suddenly surged out from his left arm. The baleful aura was extremely ferocious. It tried to break free from Qin Shi's grasp and pounce towards Bu Yan.
Qin Shi frowned when he saw the strange state of his left arm. "Demon, is that you?"
The demon had yet to awaken, but the baleful aura had automatically responded to Qin Shi. It continuously formed a black cyclone around Qin Shi.
Qin Shi laughed excitedly. His gaze suddenly shifted towards Buyan. The anxiety on his face vanished into thin air, and he revealed a relaxed smile instead.
He had forgotten that forget about the peak of the Seven Heavens Realm. Even if Bu Yan advanced to the Eight Heavens Realm, he shouldn't be worried. After all, Bu Yan wasn't like Sikong Lingnan, who relied on his own cultivation and strength. Most of Bu Yan's strength came from his Natal Demonic Beast. And what was the essence of a Natal Demonic Beast?
It was a Desolate Beast.
And the demon was the bane of Desolate Beasts.
"Haha, I'm not the one being careless. You should be the one being careless."
Qin Shi smiled faintly. His black eyes lingered on the werewolf Bu Yan for a moment before he suddenly raised his left hand.
"I've heard that your white wolf is pretty strong. I'll accept it on your behalf."
Bu Yan was puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"
Qin Shi smiled but didn't say anything. He waved his arm and the baleful aura surged towards Bu Yan like a raging river.
Bu Yan was startled, and his expression changed. His chest inexplicably puffed up, and a powerful suction force emerged from the baleful aura. It was as if the suction force had penetrated deep into his soul and forcefully dragged the white wolf out.
"Roar!"
The wolf howled in fear. But just as it was freed from Bu Yan, the baleful aura circled around his body and devoured the wolf. In the blink of an eye, all that was left of the wolf was a pile of white bones.
Bu Yan's pupils shrank as his eyes widened in anger. "White wolf!
No! "
The baleful aura only returned to Qin Shi's arm after it had its fill. The dimmed totem finally flickered with a few rays of light.
