C54 Peerless Martial God!
C54 Peerless Martial God!
"I never thought that the full release of the Dragon-fighting Twisting's power would be so terrifying."
Ji Lei clearly remembered that the Dragon-fighting Twisting's power had destroyed the entire Azure Cloud House. Even Ji Lei never would have thought that the Ji Family's martial skill would have such shocking power, and this level of power almost pulled Ji Lei into it. Fortunately, she had woken up now …
"But where is this place?" Ji Lei looked around and found that he couldn't see everything clearly. There was only a misty, white area. When he reached his hand into the mist, he couldn't see his own fingers.
The white fog seemed to be endless, Ji Lei could not even see the end of it. This made Ji Lei panic, and he wanted to call out the Unparalleled Martial Soul to clear the surrounding fog.
However, just as Ji Lei was about to summon the Unparalleled Martial Soul, he was horrified to find out that he couldn't feel any movement from it! His lower dantian was completely empty, as if nothing had ever been able to live inside it.
"What's going on?" Ji Lei panicked. If the Unparalleled Martial Soul was gone, then Ji Lei would be crippled. Without his Martial Spirit, there was no meaning for a warrior to exist. The Unparalleled Martial Soul was no less important than life to Ji Lei, so Ji Lei was extremely anxious!
"Come out right now!" Ji Lei frowned, he kept trying to communicate with the Unparalleled Martial Soul, but the final result made Ji Lei discouraged. The Unparalleled Martial Soul was like a kite with its string cut, Ji Lei could no longer find any traces of it.
"How could this be …" Ji Lei slumped to the ground. His eyes were filled with despair. There was not a trace of spirit in his dull eyes.
"Sizzle sizzle ~ ~ ~"
Within Ji Lei's body, there was a slight sound. Ji Lei thought it was the Unparalleled Martial Soul and was about to sense it, but the moment Ji Lei immersed himself into his consciousness, a clump of blood-red light suddenly shot out from Ji Lei's body!
The blood-red light floated in front of Ji Lei and gradually condensed into the shape of a small beast. However, this small beast emitted a vicious aura and had a ferocious look on its face.
"This... "What is this …" Ji Lei looked at the motionless dragon in front of him. His eyes were filled with shock. Why did it become a dragon? Furthermore, from the aura emitted from its body, this Flood Dragon does not seem to be a Unparalleled Martial Soul …
"Hiss!"
While Ji Lei was observing, the blood-red dragon suddenly opened its mouth wide. Its body suddenly became hundreds of thousands of feet large. It roared at Ji Lei, revealing its sharp and densely packed teeth.
Ji Lei was scared by the sudden change in size of the dragon. He thought that the dragon was trying to devour him and Ji Lei had no way of escaping right now, so he had no way of resisting and could only become its food. However, he didn't expect that after the dragon roared at Ji Lei, it froze where it was, maintaining its original position without moving at all.
Ji Lei was curious. He walked closer to the flood dragon. As he looked at its stiff eyes that were still filled with blood, Ji Lei felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
Suddenly, under Ji Lei's astonished gaze, the body of the flood dragon began to crack and specks of golden light scattered out from the flood dragon's body. Soon after, the golden light shone brightly! A dazzling light flashed from the dragon's body. A figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Ji Lei. Finally, it arrived at Ji Lei's hand.
"Unparalleled Martial Soul!" Ji Lei was shocked and overjoyed. The one that returned to his hands was the Unparalleled Martial Soul that Ji Lei had been bitterly looking for. Seeing it appear, Ji Lei immediately heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the Unparalleled Martial Soul was around, Ji Lei had full confidence.
"Hong!"
The Unparalleled Martial Soul became a small dragon and occupied the top of Ji Lei's head. Soon after, Ji Lei saw another cyan ray of light suddenly shoot out from the body of the huge Red Jiao and also landed in Ji Lei's hand.
Ji Lei looked carefully and almost dropped the thing out of his hand out of fright. That was because the cyan ray of light in his hand was the Cyan Faced Ghost Face that Ji Lei had seen in the Unparalleled Murderous Heart Art!
While Ji Lei was curious, a golden light flashed in Ji Lei's eyes. Under the framework of the ghost face's empty eyes, there was a golden dot that looked like a teardrop, shining brightly.
Driven by his curiosity, Ji Lei touched the dot with his finger. The moment Ji Lei touched it, the golden light on his teardrop mark immediately became brighter! An illusory figure slowly appeared from within the golden light.
That figure wore a purple and gold crown with a phoenix tail, dragon pattern mail, and the Cloud-Stepping Silk Boots. Although his eyes were closed, his handsome face carried a hint of coldness. His entire body exuded the dignity and holiness of a powerful being.
What made Ji Lei even more surprised was that in his hand, there was actually a drawing halberd that was exactly the same as the Dragon-tattooed Halberd!
Ji Lei was startled. That illusionary figure slowly opened his eyes. Then, he put a green half-mask on his face.
Ji Lei looked at the mask in his hand, then looked at the mask on the face of the figure. Ji Lei found that the broken mask perfectly fit the green mask on his face!
Ji Lei suddenly raised the mask in his hand and wanted to put it on the other half of his face.
"It's useless. I am destined to not be able to wear this half mask again."
Just when Ji Lei was unable to put on the mask no matter how hard he tried, the figure suddenly opened his eyes and said to Ji Lei with a gentle smile.
Ji Lei retracted his hand in embarrassment, "So you were awake."
That person smiled at Ji Lei and then turned his gaze to the Unparalleled Martial Soul above Ji Lei. Suddenly, he waved his hand and the Unparalleled Martial Soul immediately flew away from Ji Lei and towards himself.
Ji Lei panicked when he saw the Unparalleled Martial Soul had left him and asked: "What are you doing?"
That person laughed, and said indifferently: "Don't be nervous, it's just that I haven't seen Unparalleled Martial Soul so close to others in a long time."
Soon after, a trace of emotion appeared in that person's eyes. He stroked the head of the holy dragon and said gently, "Long time no see."
The Unparalleled Martial Soul lay in his hands quietly, like a pet, and even intimately rubbed against his large hands.
"You … "Do you recognize it?" Ji Lei pointed at the figure, then pointed at the Unparalleled Martial Soul. Hearing what was said, the person said to Ji Lei: "I am the previous master of the Unparalleled Martial Soul, and also the first master."
"Last one?!" Ji Lei's eyes were filled with shock. Then, he started to get nervous, afraid that he would steal his Unparalleled Martial Soul.
That person, however, seemed to have already predicted Ji Lei's reaction, and explained while smiling: "Don't worry, I have long since lost my divine form, and am only an afterimage in front of you. At first, I wanted to let the Unparalleled Martial Soul break through to the Heavenly Rank, but I didn't expect that this breakthrough would cause the Unparalleled Martial Soul to go back to its original form, and I also perished because of it."
Ji Lei was surprised when he heard it. According to him, Unparalleled Martial Soul must have been of a very high rank, at least it was a martial spirit from Heavenly Rank! Ji Lei didn't even dare to think about such a thing.
"This is my debt to the Unparalleled Martial Soul. This is a pity, I no longer exist in this world." That person softly sighed, then he took off the ghost mask and handed it over to Ji Lei.
"Young man, can I ask you something?"
Ji Lei took over the ghost mask and looked at the serious face of the figure. A trace of solemnity also appeared in his eyes, "Senior, please speak."
"Unparalleled Martial Soul is the world's most prideful martial soul. It has its own intelligence, so naturally, it is unwilling to be limited to only this kind of grade." That person's voice was like flowing water that flowed into Ji Lei's heart, "So I beg you, can you bring the Unparalleled Martial Soul back to its former height to compensate me for my debt to the Unparalleled Martial Soul?"
Ji Lei was a bit hesitant, "But I don't know what to do …"
"This Ghost Face, it has a name, it's called Exorcism. At the beginning of the Primordial Era, the Heaven of Martial God was wreaked havoc by the ancient Vicious Beast. The Unparalleled Martial Soul was created to drive out and kill these Vicious Beast.
"Because of the appearance of the Unparalleled Martial Soul, the Vicious Beast that once wreaked havoc in the Heaven of Martial God was alleviated. I spent my entire life's effort, but was still unable to purge these Vicious Beast, which was why I was able to think of a way to strengthen the Unparalleled Martial Soul. I originally wanted to raise the Unparalleled Martial Soul once more, but who would have known …" That person's eyes were slightly drooping. It was likely that he had experienced many dangers back then and was someone he would never forget.
"But at that time, the Unparalleled Martial Soul was already at the Heavenly Rank. Could it be that above the Heavenly Rank, there was another rank?"
The person sighed and said with infinite frustration, "Who knows … "Maybe there really is one …"
Ji Lei took a deep breath, then said to the person: "Senior said, the meaning of Unparalleled Martial Soul's existence, is to eradicate the Vicious Beast, but right now, within the Heaven of Martial God, the Vicious Beast is no longer there."
"He's gone?" The man smiled and shook his head, then said: "You're not right, all the Vicious Beast back then had the ability to destroy the heaven and earth. I used my entire life to kill ninety of them, but there are still ten of them that escaped the net.
Ji Lei was shocked, "Senior, you mean they are hiding?"
"Perhaps," the person sighed, "Perhaps they have hidden themselves, or perhaps they have fallen into a deep sleep, but in short, their existence is all for the sake of destruction. If they are unable to kill the last ten ancient Vicious Beast, their Heaven of Martial God will never be at peace.
"May …" I don't know where those Vicious Beast are … " Ji Lei was still hesitant.
When the figure heard this, it smiled faintly. However, its figure had become extremely dim at this moment. It passed the Unparalleled Martial Soul to Ji Lei and then floated away.
"Their existence might be extremely secretive, or perhaps they aren't living in the body of a Vicious Beast, and the Evil Beast might be able to help you find them. They might also appear on their own, so you need to be prepared at all times. Don't be afraid of being weak, Unparalleled Martial Soul will always be by your side. When you can combine the two halves of the bandit, you will be able to inherit peerless strength … Finally, please remember me, Peerless Martial God, I hope … "You can pass my name down …"
Ji Lei's heart suddenly felt empty as he looked at the disappeared Martial God. He could feel the grief of the Unparalleled Martial Soul in his hand …
Ji Lei could only comfort his feelings.
The white fog in front of his eyes suddenly began to dissipate. The fog gradually disappeared and a clear thing slowly appeared once again.
After calming himself down, Ji Lei's gaze became determined and pure.
"Senior, don't worry. I will definitely not let Wushuang's reputation go down the drain. When I become stronger, I will definitely let her name resound throughout the entire Heaven of Martial God!"
