Chapter 463: Thunder Spear

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Master Ji, we’ve investigated the area around the city within a 20km radius.

“Apart from the Yellow Turban Army and Old Demon Black Mountain in the west and the Yaksha clan in the south, a few days ago, over a dozen alien creatures resembling mermaids or sirens appeared in the waters in the north beyond the Mirage Monsters’ territory. They tried to lure the navy soldiers with their singing. Luckily, Chief Zhou was there to fight them off with the music.

“But the weirdest thing is in the east.

“There’s this foggy area below us now.”

That was Yan Qing. He held an Extraordinary Rank-9 Radiant Gold Bow and had a pair of semi-tangible wings made from Battle Aura on his back. He was talking to Ji Ye, who was staying in the mid-air on his Dragon Aura.

Below them, the fog was rolling over a gray area that was dozens of kilometers in diameter.

“It’s a strange area, and it’s expanding every day. Based on the current speed, it’ll reach Eagle Peak in seven days.”

Hua Rong stood on the back of a Quasi-Commander Golden Condor and put a black Frigid Iron arrow on his Invisible Bow. He looked alarmed as he watched the rolling fog down below.

Hum!

Golden Buddha Light appeared in Ji Ye’s eyes.

It wasn’t True Dragon’s Eyes. It was the Heavenly Eyes Technique that he obtained from the Golden Buddha. With it, he could see the attributes of his targets.

[Dense Fog]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description: The Dense Fog race is a strange alien race. It has no tangible body, but it is said that any living creature entering the fog would lose its self-consciousness.]

What? This large lump of gray fog was a living creature?!

And it was a Special being.

This was the first time that Dragon City had ever run into a Special alien race, which was even more peculiar than the yakshas and Metal Men, whose members were all Extraordinary.

Of course, being Special didn’t mean that its members all had Transcendent power.

But it was still very dangerous.

According to Hua Rong, a scout of the Golden Condor Camp flew into the fog on the back of a Golden Condor, but he never came back.

The Golden Condor Camp immediately asked Gongsun Sheng, who was stationed on Eagle Peak, to use his skills to summon rain and wind, but even he couldn’t blow away the heavy fog.

Because of that, Dragon City had yet to discover what was inside the gray fog.

“Caw!”

A short distance away, an Ordinary Rank-3 bird seemed to be tired. It descended toward the foggy area, trying to take some rest.

Pew!

As soon as it approached the area, an electric current shot out of the fog, removing all its feathers.

It turned into a ball of charred meat and fell into the fog.

Then, they heard the sound of chewing and swallowing in the fog.

“Is there a living creature inside?”

Qin Yueyu, who was also standing on the back of a Golden Condor, sounded quite uneasy.

“Taichi Dragons!”

Ji Ye lowered his alt.i.tude.

True Qi came out of him, forming a white and a black dragon that flew around each other, forming a Taichi pattern.

Hum!

As they circled, they created a powerful suction.

It drew away the great amount of fog that covered an area over 300m in diameter.

Splash!

Ji Ye’s move seemed to set off the fog, and it started rolling violently.

Sizzle!

Immediately after that, a streak of blinding lightning shot out of the fog and hit Ji Ye like a sharp sword.

“Roar!”

However, the Taichi Dragons could absorb the essence of Nature, which was “energy” in common terms.

The energies of lightning and thunder were also within that category. Therefore, before the lightning sword could even reach Ji Ye, the Taichi Dragons had already absorbed it. The attack was to no avail.

Instead, as the gray fog was drawn away, the being making the attack was revealed.

It was a white “horse” with a 30cm horn on its head and a pair of 10m-long wings. It was glowing from head to toe, and the horn was giving off the power of thunder.

[Lost Unicorn]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: The unicorn race is a race that’s born with Extraordinary power and recognized as being n.o.ble and elegant by many races. It is a pity that its soul has been trapped in the fog, and it would always be manipulated by it.]

Unicorn, another wondrous creature from an ancient legend.

However, it wasn’t from the oriental legend; it was from the western one.

Hum!

An arrow was shot.

The moment after Ji Ye was attacked, Hua Rong shot an arrow with his Invisible Bow. The arrow split into ten as it flew across the air, piercing the unicorn’s head, neck, and other critical points.

Pop! Crackle!

However, the electric current began to run wildly.

Inside the fog wasn’t just one unicorn but dozens of them. Electric currents were running along all their white lone horns.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The electric currents then gathered together, forming a tangible white Thunder Spear as thick as a bucket. It was so bright that even the sun seemed dimmer in comparison.

Immediately after that, it charged at Ji Ye, who was still in the air.

The power of the strike seemed to surpa.s.s Extraordinary Rank-9 and was close to that of a Transcendent level attack.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning moved unbelievably fast.

If Ji Ye were on the ground, he could use Distance Reduction to dodge the attack, but he couldn’t move as fast in the sky.

But he didn’t try to evade either.

“Roar!”

Because the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon tattoo on his back suddenly opened its eyes and turned into a semi-tangible golden heavenly dragon, catching the spear with one of its paws.

Boom!

The next moment, the resplendent Power of Thunder dissipated.

Although it was a fierce attack, it wasn’t powerful enough to pierce the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon that had been fused with Buddha Shadow Radiant Gold.

“Roar… Roar…”

The dragons then roared.

The Taichi Dragons moved, taking over the fight against the Thunder Spear.

“Roar… Roar…”

Compared with the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, the Taichi Dragons that could devour the electric current could handle the Power of Thunder more easily.

With the energy they had absorbed, they spun faster and faster until they began to push the Thunder Spear back down toward the dozens of unicorns.

Boom!

Finally, the Taichi Dragons were 10m over the unicorns.

The powerful suction created by the spinning drew streaks of gray fog out of the unicorns’ ears, eyes, and nostrils. Once the fog around them was gone, the white unicorns immediately stopped attacking Ji Ye and became motionless.

“Wait. These unicorns have no souls. Does it mean that the characteristic of the Dense Fog is that they can devour the souls of living creatures, take the place of the soul, and control the bodies?”

Qin Yueyu seemed to realize something.

Using the Stone of Civilization rewarded to her after the “A Hundred Vying Barges” quest, she learned the “Divine Eye” technique. With it, she could see through the target’s physical body and detect the target’s soul.

“It can replace the souls of living creatures and control their bodies to fight for it. Is this why it’s given the Special evaluation?”

Ji Ye studied the Dense Fog that was still struggling violently after it was trapped by the Taichi Dragons.

Was the fog powerful?

It felt rather weak.

Of course, Ji Ye knew that he felt that way because much of his power had reached the Transcendent level.

In fact, while he was making the advancement in seclusion, Wu Song, Zhang Qing, and Lin Chong had all tried to do something to the fog, but they realized that normal physical attack had little effect on them.

Some mental or spiritual attacks had some effect, but it was nothing significant, mainly because the Dense Fog was too vast. It was hundreds of meters in diameter, if one didn’t have the Transcendent power that the Taichi Dragons had to gather the fog together, normal attacks could only destroy a small fraction of it, even if one was an Extraordinary Rank-9 and had special equipment. While the person was making the attack, the creatures that had lost in the Dense Fog might take the opportunity to attack from inside the fog.

“Roar… Roar…”

Ji Ye’s eyes lit up.

The Taichi Dragons that had expanded to encircle an area over 100m in diameter began to shrink as they spun.

In the end, they compressed the Dense Fog to the size of a human head.

“Die!”

Immediately after that, golden Congenital Energy flashed, cutting the compressed Dense Fog into half.

Congenital Energy was the power Ji Ye gathered after he became a cultivator. Apart from physically attacking its target, it could also attack one’s spirit and mind.

[You’ve killed the Dense Fog (Special, Commander). EXP gained: 2,038. Honor gained: 55. Rare Honor gained: 5!”]

It only took a streak of the Congenital Energy to kill the Dense Fog.

Apart from dropping an Extraordinary Rank-8 Soul of Civilization, the Dense Fog shrank furthermore, turning into a gray Dense Fog Pearl the size of the fist.
