?Chapter 1471: Huo Jinglin(14)
Huo Jinglin read the details on the card with some anticipation. The beast’s wings on the card were somewhat similar to the flying beast Huo Jinglin had seen on the mural after entering the room.
If the beast had great capability, he would have his beast. Huo Jinglin nodded after reading the details, especially the characteristics of the beast.
[Resurgence of Abyss] was an outrageous skill only a few could control. It was also the primary reason behind the beast’s price being so high. He didn’t wait longer to make his decision since that ability was more than enough to purchase the Bestial Cormorant.
Huo Jinglin then left the queue and walked toward the square device, where he would need to complete the following steps. After joining the line, he thought of ways to counter the beast’s skill since he and the beast were of similar cultivation.
Huo Jinglin wouldn’t see any reduction in his cultivation, so the battle was going to be immensely challenging against an ultimate quality beast.
While waiting, time flew by, and soon, it was Huo Jinglin’s turn.
He then put the beast card in the card compartment and placed his hand in the respective section. The next moment, the view in front of him changed.
Huo Jinglin was floating on an endless body of water, and the sky was dark. He felt slightly uncomfortable since Yedrians were a race of fire element users. He felt the element being slightly suppressed.
But Huo Jinglin had expected him to come to an area like that for the taming battle, so he didn’t worry much about it. He looked at the front and waited for his opponent.
The beast didn’t keep him waiting for long, jumped out of the water, and soon took a graceful curve in the air.
Cry!
The Bestial Cormorant let out a bird cry, looking at the intruder. It was also ready for the battle.
Ding!
The directionless bell rang and announced the start of the battle.
Cultivators at True God level and above could fly in the air, so the flying ability of the Bestial Cormorant wasn’t an advantage of the beast.
Huo Jinglin floated upward and rushed at the beast. His entire body was engulfed in red flames.
A blast of vapor emerged as the rich water element in the environment clashed with him. The force from the blast further pushed Huo Jinglin, and in no time, he was right above the beast.
Cry!
The Bestial Cormorant let out a roar, and before Huo Jinglin could do anything, it faded into the darkness.
Trusting his intuition, Huo Jinglin rushed toward his right.
Boom! Splash!
The next moment, the shadow cover around the bird dissipated, and it was knocked down the water.
Its wings had caught fire, but the endless water immediately doused it. Huo Jinglin gained the advantage in the first clash but didn’t think much of it.
The Bestial Cormorant had average abilities. What made it special was the [Resurgence of Abyss]. It was also the reason for its quality being the ultimate tier.
Huo Jinglin decided to push the beast to its edge, so even if it activated the characteristics, it wouldn’t be able to take much advantage of the ability.
CRY!
A loud cry rang in the area, and three Bestial Cormorants jumped out of the water. It was a cloning ability of the beast, which allowed it to create two clones with each having fifty percent of its power. To be precise, the three beasts were equivalent to two Bestial Cormorants at the beast’s full power.
Huo Jinglin was already aware of all the abilities of the beast, so he knew that the beast could only maintain its two clones for three minutes. Huo Jinglin had prepared contingency for it, and immediately after, his red eyes began glowing brighter, and small balls of red fire began to appear out of thin air.
In no time, the number of fireballs had crossed the hundred mark. They then began to transform, and soon, there were more than a hundred miniature versions of burning Huo Jinglin. It was an exclusive skill of the Yedrians, and Huo Jinglin’s bloodline was immensely pure due to being a direct descendant of Huo Pinglu, who had him after he had reached the Sacred Creator level.
The burning miniature versions had no specific power but two abilities. The first one was the ability of self-explosion at the touch. Huo Jinglin ordered, and all of them immediately charged toward the three Bestial Cormorants in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A rain of feathers dawned on the miniature versions, and in response to that, the entire sky was filled with explosions.
Since the miniature versions were sentient, they didn’t just keep crashing on the feathers; some dodged, and soon after, around thirty of them reached the nearest cormorant.
BOOM!
A loud explosion rang as the clone immediately grabbed the beast by its beak and exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The miniature versions exploded with the touch of the force as well. One blast wasn’t enough even to cause any severe damage, but when that number reached the double-digit, it tore apart the clone.
Huo Jinglin had targeted the clone and not the actual body since the original’s defense was immensely higher than the clones and would need at least a thousand blasts of that intensity to cause any life-threatening damage. Unfortunately for Huo Jinglin, one hundred seventy-four miniature versions were his limit.
The remaining one charged at the second clone, barring one, who rushed toward the original.
The second ability of the burning clone was that Huo Jinglin could swap his place with it as long as the distance between the two was less than three million miles.
On the battlefield, the distance was only a few miles, so when the original Bestial Cormorant was about to destroy the miniature version, Huo Jinglin swapped his place with it. He already had the skill activated, and his entire body was engulfed in orange flames.
The sudden situation startled the Bestial Cormorant, who momentarily froze. Huo Jinglin couldn’t let that moment go to waste and attacked.
BOOM!
A booming sound rang in the area, and the Bestial Cormorant was thrown out hundreds of miles away, causing a large wave to rise in the water.
The beast was instantly knocked unconscious, and right at that moment, a dark glow covered the beast.
Huo Jinglin became solemn as he felt the blackness covering the body of water. [Resurgence of Abyss] was a passive skill that would be activated immediately if the beast was in danger of losing its life. That was why Huo Jinglin had made tens of plans to fight against the skill and not just think of ways to kill the beast before it could activate the ability.
The Bestial Cormorant immediately regained its consciousness after the characteristics became active. Its calm blue eyes darkened, and in no time, it had reached the same color as its obsidian-like feathers.
The sky was already dark and was filled with the element of shadow, but after the activation of the ability, it seemed to darken even further.
Huo Jinglin had no choice but to cover himself in fire to retain some visibility. The small fireball he created was instantly devoured by the abyss that had formed in the deep water.
Whoosh!
The Bestial Cormorant jumped out of the water. At that moment, it was three times its original size, and the pressure emanating from it was terrifying.
Even Huo Jinglin felt chilled when the beast stared at him. The beast’s calm blue eyes were now pitch black and devoid of any emotion. It was as if the Bestial Cormorant was the incarnation of abyss.
Huo Jinglin didn’t dare to directly look back at the beast’s eyes since his soul began trembling. He immediately moved his eyes away and began backing away from the scene.
Huo Jinglin was confident that his chances against the beast in that state were zero percent. He knew the real challenge of the battle had just arrived, and he didn’t want to lose that after overwhelmingly destroying the beast earlier.
Cry!
The beast activated [Murmuring Abyss]. In that state, the skill had reached a terrifying level, and Huo Jinglin immediately froze in fear.
Roar!
A beast-like roar originated from his mouth as he tried to fight back against the fear that was slowly enveloping his heart. It was as if he was fighting another opponent altogether.
The Bestial Cormorant didn’t give Huo Jinglin any chance to escape and used [Shadow Jump], appearing behind him.
It activated [Spectral Talonstorm], and immediately after, hundreds of spectral talons appeared out of thin air.
Without the state, the beast could summon ten spectral talons at most, but in that state, even hundreds of those sharp talons seemed like nothing.
In no time, the spectral talons tore apart Huo Jinglin in numerous pieces.
The beast suddenly raised its head and looked up. There was a miniature version of him that was fighting against the devouring ability of the abyss.
The next moment, the torn pieces of Huo Jinglin burst into fire and disappeared, while Huo Jinglin appeared in place of the miniature version.
His already gray skin seemed even grayer, as saving his life from that situation cost him enormously.
It had only been fifteen seconds into the state, and Huo Jinglin had already seen death once. There were still seventy-five seconds he needed to survive if he wanted to win the taming battle.
Huo Jinglin immediately closed his eyes and took a deep breath, ignoring the beast whatsoever.
The Bestial Cormorant had no sanity to think of the reason behind Huo Jinglin’s sudden action, and it used [Shadow Jump] once again.
