Chapter 2711 Spirit-combating Body

First update, requesting subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

The progress bar of the Soul Control Technique skill is still loading... Ocello is severely injured, almost completely losing his ability to resist. Even if Qin Fang were to let him leave on his own now, he wouldn't even have the strength to move.

How could such a body possibly resist Qin Fang's Soul Control Technique?

The progress bar isn't loading very quickly, but everything is progressing smoothly. A smile gradually appeared on Qin Fang's face, especially when the progress bar reached the final stages without any anomalies; he knew the outcome was decided.

Buzz~~

A deep sound echoed in Qin Fang's ears, and he immediately saw Ocello's eyes suddenly open fully... the Soul Control Technique was successfully executed, and Qin Fang gained another Supreme Realm-level expert under his command.

Without any hesitation, Qin Fang quickly took out several Blood Replenishing Pills and made Ocello swallow them...

Ocello was almost halfway through the Gates of Hell. Without treatment, Qin Fang might only harvest a corpse... However, Ocello's injuries were caused by the departure of the Divine Beast Spirit that was parasitizing his body. This involved various injuries, and Qin Fang wouldn't act carelessly before he was completely sure.

Therefore, he could only use the Blood Replenishing Pills to forcefully sustain Ocello's life...

As for further treatment, it would require careful planning!

At the very least, the Divine Beast Spirit of the Golden Bull Sacred Beast needed to be dealt with before making any further decisions.

After swallowing several Blood Replenishing Pills consecutively, Ocello's complexion slightly improved, but he was still quite pale, and his breath was unstable. Clearly, his recovery wasn't going well.

However, Qin Fang didn't care about these issues anymore... His attention had already shifted to the battle between Little Dragon and the Divine Beast Spirit outside.

"Huh?"

Just a quick glance, and Qin Fang was slightly shocked. His gaze instinctively turned to the outside of the temple.

Roar~~

Little Dragon's massive body soared through the air, using its colossal tail to strike the ground fiercely... not only did it raise clouds of debris and dust, but also some bloody and mangled bodies.

Such commotion almost immediately alerted other Temple Executors and Honor Knights in this small city. Although the Golden Bull Sacred Beast only had its Beast Soul left, these members of the Freemasonry recognized it... and thought it was releasing its divine powers!

In comparison, these Westerners weren't as friendly towards the Eastern Divine Dragon, mistaking it for a flying serpent-like Spiritual Beast. Seeing Little Dragon chasing the Divine Beast Spirit, they intervened without hesitation to obstruct Little Dragon.

As a Divine Beast, being attacked in such a way, even without an order to retaliate, Little Dragon couldn't tolerate it, immediately launching a fierce counterattack, ready to sweep away anyone or anything in its path!

While the Divine Beast Spirit temporarily caught a breather, these Temple Executors and Honor Knights of the Freemasonry were truly unfortunate... They had no idea what the Divine Beast Spirit represented to Little Dragon, nor did they understand the intensity of Little Dragon's fury.

This Mystic Realm, though lacking somewhat, barely allowed Little Dragon to exert more than half of its power. With the Barbaric God Stone as a backup, Little Dragon unleashed full force, slaughtering the Freemasonry members indiscriminately.

Among these people, the strongest were merely the Temple Executors and Honor Knights... Most of the Honor Knights had already been taken down by Qin Fang, leaving only a few survivors. Even combined, the Temple Executors were barely considered Great Grandmaster-level experts and couldn't withstand Little Dragon's slaughter.

When facing human experts, Temple Executors and Honor Knights could rely on their Undying Bodies to struggle for a while, but against Little Dragon... none of this mattered. Even with the Immortal Golden Body Technique, they wouldn't necessarily withstand the Dragon Clan's Divine Beast attack at the same level, let alone when they only had an inferior and incomplete secret technique, being far outclassed in level and strength.

In almost an instant, at least twenty or thirty Freemasonry experts were easily killed by Little Dragon, and the number of injured kept rising. Even if everyone in the small city rushed over, they still wouldn't stop Little Dragon's advance.

This was all within Qin Fang's expectations...

What truly surprised Qin Fang was... the Golden Bull Sacred Beast's bold move. Taking advantage of the Freemasonry experts' interference, it unhesitatingly charged into the golden giant bull statue at the Taurus Sanctuary entrance.

"This..."

Witnessing this scene, Qin Fang was genuinely astonished.

Not only has the beast soul almost completely merged in, but the golden giant bull, forged from unknown gold and metal, is slowly beginning to awaken... its bull eyes have opened, emitting a terrifying golden glow.

"Spirit-combating Body?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the golden giant bull, suddenly remembering a crafting secret technique that had been lost to time... the most advanced craftsmanship within puppet secret techniques.

In Thousand Gate, this crafting technique is known as Spirit-combating Body...

The puppet person in Qin Fang's hand, a masterpiece of the ages, also uses the Spirit-combating Body technique, and it is in the most perfect state—it can move freely like a human without needing human soul infusions.

However, such craftsmanship reached its peak, and aside from Lu Ban, no one else has succeeded... thus, that puppet person is almost the only one!

With Lu Ban's passing, although the crafting technique of Spirit-combating Body was inherited, the perfect state of Spirit-combating Body was not included, and was completely lost... Lu Ban's descendants only understand the general crafting techniques of Spirit-combating Body.

And with the gradual division and various struggles of Thousand Gate, accumulated with various historical reasons, the craftsmanship of Spirit-combating Body also slowly disappeared... Lu Ban's descendants at most inherited the craftsmanship of puppet people; Spirit-combating Body has become legendary.

Yet Qin Fang did not expect...

In the distant overseas, at the core of Freemasonry, at the gates of Taurus Sanctuary, such a Spirit-combating Body still exists... Although Qin Fang could not decide whether this Spirit-combating Body was recently crafted or inherited over centuries, this treasure that should belong to Dragon Country is in the hands of Westerners, making him feel frustrated, especially since those people are his nemesis.

"Moo~~"

The beast soul of the Golden Bull Sacred Beast entered the Spirit-combating Body, causing the statue of the golden giant bull to "come to life" instantly; its eyes gleamed, and its bull head was raised, letting out a deafening roar.

Crack crack crack~~~

Not only that, the golden giant bull moved its "body," attempting to adapt to its metallic form, although it was not as powerful or flexible as its original sacred beast form, it was far superior to mere beast soul state.

Thunk~~

After a brief adaptation, the golden giant bull leaped off the statue base, landing heavily on the ground, causing noticeable tremors all around, with a faint, continuous rumbling sound.

"Such formidable strength! Such a heavy body..."

Even Qin Fang, safe from a distance, couldn't help but change his expression... It was said crafting Spirit-combating Body requires extremely rare materials and intricate craftsmanship, yet it can unleash unimaginable power.

This golden giant bull's Spirit-combating Body had an unknown level of power, which Qin Fang was uncertain of yet, but just its terrifying body was already intimidating, definitely more frightening than expected.

Roar~~

The golden giant bull revived; even Qin Fang noticed it, so naturally Little Dragon would not overlook it.

After wiping out all the Freemasonry experts blocking its path, Little Dragon roared skyward, the deafening dragon roar reverberating throughout the mystic realm, while it circled in mid-air, approaching the golden giant bull step by step.

Little Dragon is wise; it would certainly become a divine beast, inherently occupying a high rank, having mingled with Qin Fang in the mortal world for so long, it far surpasses any newly initiated youngster.

This golden giant bull, at a glance, is not to be trifled with, and with the sacred beast's soul housed in the Spirit-combating Body, not only has it not chosen to flee, it even actively battles, which already explains much.

"This Saint Beast... even with only a beast soul, dares to harbor such thoughts! Then it must not remain..."

Even Qin Fang noticed it, mockingly spoke out.

Little Dragon is a divine beast, and also in its infancy, the most vulnerable stage of a divine beast... even entities at spiritual beast king and demon beast levels coveted Little Dragon, let alone a saint beast.

Undeniably, this Golden Bull Sacred Beast's original form may have dissipated thousands of years ago, relying merely on such means for survival... it never chose to possess those formidable human experts for rebirth, as human life is too ephemeral; it would rather exist as a beast soul than dissolve completely after merely a hundred or eighty years.

However... this complete-bodied, yet weakly-powered Divine Beast Xiaolong is distinctly different!
