Chapter 286: Ice-sealing Throne

Using the high-level Soul Tampering Technique, Yang Ling started tampering with the soul of the little snake bit by bit!

The little snake was too fast. Yang Ling would not have any ways to deal with it if it escaped somewhere else. Unfortunately, not only did the little creature charge toward him maniacally, it also used its soul to attack him after being split apart by the sharp Blood Elf Dagger. It was basically a lamb headed to the slaughterhouse.

The soul of the little snake was powerful, so powerful that it was completely disproportionate to its body. However, in front of Yang Ling’s powerful Soul Tampering Technique, it was basically a moth to a flame!

The cultivation of Wizard Techniques was basically the cultivation of techniques that controlled the souls of other people, as well as the understanding and mastery of the source energy of this world. In this aspect, Yang Ling was much more powerful than the average warrior and Spellcaster.

After struggling for a period of time, the soul of the little snake got tampered successfully. Perhaps it was because it absorbed a substantial amount of Wizard Power, its body became blood red. It was originally only a faint outline, but now, it had materialized a solid body, coiling motionlessly around the Wizard Core.

Other than having obtained the memories of the little snake, Yang Ling had also absorbed a streak of black-colored energy from the body of the little snake, successfully incorporating it within the Wizard Core. The Wizard Core that had been originally red was now mixed with a faint layer of black. The Wizard Power circulating within his body was no exception.

Horned Soul Snake?

A Horned Soul Snake that’s been infused with a shred of source energy from the Dimension of Dark Souls?

Through the memories of the little snake, Yang Ling soon understood many things.

As it turned out, the little snake was a Horned Soul Snake, and was a rare creature within the Dimension of Dead Souls. Several thousand years ago, it had been trapped and captured by Rodriguez and a few other Corpse Wizard Kings, being formed into a snake-shaped staff. The snake-shaped staff was not only a natural Staff of Dead Souls, it can even revert to its original body to attack its enemies after an incantation was recited.

In order to dispel his restrictions, the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez had forcefully obtained a shred of the source energy of the Dimension of Dead Souls at the cost of its blood, soul and life force, infusing the source energy onto the Horned Soul Snake and ordering it to attack Yang Ling at any cost. Unexpectedly, the Horned Soul Snake it spent much effort in obtaining got successfully tamed by Yang Ling, never to return to it.

Hehe, what a blessing in disguise. I now have another exceptional Magical Beast at my disposal!

With a thought, Yang Ling summoned the Horned Soul Snake and looked at its streamlined body. He then instructed it to attack a nearby tree.

The Horned Soul Snake charged forward, fast as lightning, rebounding back with blinding speed after biting down on the root of the tree. After a cold wind blew past, the leaves of the pail-sized thick tree dropped all over the ground. Following that, the bark of the tree started rotting at a rapid rate, turning into a pile of powder before scattering into the wind.

This is the true ability of the Horned Soul Snake?

Even though he knew that the little snake possessed a lethal poison through its memories, Yang Ling did not expect it to be terrifying to this extent. He marvelled at his luck for instinctively blocking its attack using the Blood Elf Dagger back then. Otherwise, he might have scattered into the wind too. It was no wonder that even the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez had to team up with other expert fighters to trap and capture this creature a few thousand years ago.

Not bad, this is indeed a killing machine!

After his joy, Yang Ling stored the extremely powerful Horned Soul Snake into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. With such a powerful little snake, coupled with high-level Magical Beasts like the Dark Dragon King and Chimera King, Yang Ling believed that he would be able to defeat, or even kill, a Domain Expert like the White-robed Cardinal Bishop if he were to face him head on.

Thinking about the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Yang Ling naturally remembered the Corpse Wizard King that was being chased by the bishop, Elder Klive and the rest!

According to the memories of the Horned Soul Snake, the Corpse Wizard King did not even have ten percent of its maximum abilities at this moment. It did not even have time to flee for its life. Whether or not it was able to escape the pursuit of the many great factions was a major problem. There was naturally no time or opportunity for it to cause trouble at his territory.

Of course, as a safety precaution, he had to closely monitor its tracks until he finally sees the dead body of the Corpse Wizard King. After a moment’s deliberation, seeing the high-level Magical Beasts by his side, Yang Ling gave a terse order, “Seylius, go and track the movements of the Corpse Wizard King. Remember, do not take action unless you are extremely confident that you can kill it!”

“Yes, master!” After taking a bow, the Flying Dragon King Seylius flew outward, following the scent left behind by the Corpse Wizard King as it left the underground city.

The level nine Flying Dragon King could already speak, and was just one step away from achieving a human form. Compared to the Unicorn and Chimera King, it not only had stronger abilities, but also had a higher level of intelligence.

Compared to the Flying Dragon King Seylius, the Level Surpassing Magical Beast Dark Dragon King Leopold could not only take on a human form, its abilities and intelligence were also a notch higher. Unfortunately, its injuries were not fully recovered yet. Coupled with the major factions’ feelings of animosity toward it, it was not suitable for the mission of tracking the Corpse Dragon King.

Oh, where’s the Thousand-faced Mink?

After making their way a few rounds around the divine temple and failing to obtain anything, the men of the Church and the Dark Association left quickly. Soon, Yang Ling was the only one left in the underground city. Just as he was about to keep his Magical Beasts and leave quickly, he realized that the playful Thousand-faced Mink had vanished without a trace.

Chitter…

Sensing that Yang Ling was summoning it, the Thousand-faced Mink quickly leapt out from within the divine temple, charging to the front of Yang Ling and spitting out the Space Ring it had in its mouth.

The Space Ring of the thief Karlowitz?

Yang Ling had a thought as he picked up the sparkling Space Ring. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly retrieved the items from within the ring. Indeed, other than a messy pile of items, there was also Divine Weapons like the Snow Divine Sword, Ice-sealing Armor and Ring of Life, none of them missing!

Hehe, obtaining this took no effort!

After summoning his Magical Beast army to protect himself and ascertaining that there was no one in the area, Yang Ling excitedly observed the so-called Divine Weapons one by one. Unexpected actions might lead to unexpected successes. Factions like the Church and the Dark Association had paid a heavy price for these Divine Weapons. To think that these treasures ultimately landed in his hands.

Feylas Magical Staff!

Ring of Life!

…

After flipping through the items, Yang Ling decided to put on the Ice-sealing Armor and raise the Snow Divine Sword. He also put on a sparkling pair of boots and wore the Ring of Life. Unfortunately, aside from an ice-cold sensation, he did not find anything special about the items.

Did they recognize their masters by blood?

Remembering the time when he barged into the Valenia Volcano Valley with the elf beauty Sofia and unintentionally picking up his first Space Ring, Yang Ling had a thought, introducing his blood into the armor.

In that moment, a silver glow moved around within the Ice-sealing Armor as it released an enormous ripple of energy, revealing various mysterious Magical Spell Formations. The temperature in the surroundings decreased drastically, becoming so cold that the Thousand-faced Mink jumped onto the back of the Unicorn, digging into its long fur.

Seeing that introducing his blood produced an effect, Yang Ling hesitated no longer, dripping his blood onto the Snow Divine Sword, Long-tubed Boots and Ring of Life. After a crisp ‘ding’ rang out, a miraculous scene ensued!

The Ice-sealing Armor transformed once again, fusing tightly with the Long-tubed Boot. Other than his eyes, nose and mouth, Yang Ling’s entire body was securely protected by a layer of sparkling armor. The Ring of Life glimmered, releasing waves of an ice-cold sensation, energizing Yang Ling. It was as if his entire body was packed with energy.

The Divine Sword dotted with patterns of snowflakes let out a ring of faint silver light, releasing a tremendous ripple of energy, achieving resonance with the armor and Ring of Life. He could release a blade-like energy with a gentle flick of the sword, severing a tree not far away. The spot where the tree was split was smooth, covered in a thin layer of ice.

At the same time, a dull thump rang out in the sky as chilling snowflakes began to fall. The lava that could be seen anywhere in the plain started to congeal at high speeds, the fog covering the plain scattered. The temperature was decreasing rapidly, but the air was getting clearer and clearer. The sunken, heavy feeling that had been present in the underground city vanished instantly.

Ice-sealing Throne?

Could I have unintentionally obtained a set of Divine Weapons?

Looking at the underground city get instantly covered in ice, sensing the resonant ripples of energy coming from the armor and sword, Yang Ling was incredibly excited, breathing in a mouthful of refreshing air.

There were many Divine Weapons on the Tailun Continent. Some of them were lone pieces, perhaps a set of armor or an individual weapon; However, some of them were a complete set. As long as he gathered an entire set of Divine Weapons, he would be able to increase his offensive or defensive capabilities multiple times.

The Blood Elf Dagger was extremely powerful, but his offensive capabilities would be unparalleled if he could one day assemble the entire set of blood elf items. A Great Swordsman equipped with the complete set of blood elf items might be able to kill a sage level fighter in one blow!

“Sir, something’s not good, Sir…”

Just as Yang Ling was prepared to further explore the mysteries of the Ice-sealing Armor and the set of Divine Weapons, two people suddenly entered the underground city, shouting. Looking over, Yang Ling saw that it was a blood-covered scout and Ashnamov, who had a serious expression.

Not good?

Could it be that they failed to kill the person from the Angus family and instead fell for their ambush?

Yang Ling creased his brows. The notoriety of the Angus family did not spread far and wide just because they were cultivating techniques related to dead souls, but also because they would do anything to achieve their goals. From the deadly glare Harrison had given him before he left, he definitely would have chosen to take action first. However, the other party only had sent a few people on this journey. With Ashnamov’s abilities, they would not have suffered from heavy casualties even if they had fallen for an ambush!

“Sir, pirates, a large group of pirates are charging toward Wissen Town. The harbor at the estuary of the Donau River had already fallen in their hands!” The blood-covered scout took in a labored breath, then continued, “All of the troops, craftsmen and laborers have died in their hands. None of them were left alive!”

Pirates?

Looking at the two long arrows lodged within the scout’s body and seeing that he had came to the underground city to report this with his dying breath, Yang Ling trembled. In order to fight for the resources in the underground city, Yang Ling had brought with him the elites from the Wissen Castle. He had also mobilized a large batch of soldiers to defend the area after finding the Fantasy Crystal Mine in the Chimera Valley.

At this moment, there was practically no one defending Wissen Town. The outcome would be disastrous if a bunch of pirates took advantage of this. Even though he had ordered Goode to lead the army back as a precaution against the attack of the Corpse Wizard King on his territory, it was a considerable journey back. Even if they caught wind of the news, Goode and the rest might not be able to set up their defenses in such a short amount of time!
