Chapter 490: Chapter 321: Marquis Fengling (2)

The Spiritual Pressure bursting from the young woman’s body was astonishingly immense.

’Could it be the buffs from her accessories?’

His gaze shifted, landing on a pair of Ring Jade Bracelets glowing with a cyan light beneath Irena’s cyan gauze sleeves. Brilliant anklets pulsed with the light of a Thunderbolt on her fair ankles, and a beautiful head-veil inlaid with all sorts of gemstones radiated a magnificent splendor.

"Han Ning, that pitch-black Giant Whale... could it be a distant relative of the Gray Demon Whale?" Cang Tong asked, looking back and forth between the two combatants. A shimmering Elemental Domain enveloped the area, precisely containing the battle’s aftershocks to prevent them from affecting the creatures below.

"It’s possible."

"Everyone, please enter the Elemental Tower first to avoid being caught in the aftershocks."

Just then, a streak of Flowing Light suddenly descended from the sky.

Hassuning reached out and caught it, revealing it to be the guard Irena had thrown down.

The group had just stepped inside the Elemental Tower.

The next second, the hair on everyone’s arms stood on end as if affected by static electricity.

A solemn and majestic chant echoed in their ears:

"Supreme Holy Sanctuary, ruling over thirty-six thousand heavens, manifests in this world..."

Hearing this, Han Ning turned to look again.

In front of Irena, in addition to the initial humanoid figure, five phantoms of Soul Beasts composed purely of Elemental Spiritual Energy had appeared.

The five beastly phantoms each unfurled their bodies and pointed toward the massive wave before them.

The unending net of electricity reformed, transforming into a titanic Thunder Extreme whirlwind that reached from the earth to the sky. Together with a continuous volley of arrows, it completely blocked the menacing, sky-blotting tidal wave.

Irena stood behind the five phantoms. She faced East and closed her eyes. With her palms facing up and fingers naturally extended, she raised the middle and ring fingers of both hands straight up. The posture of her left and right hands was identical. Then, she overlapped her right index and pinky fingers onto her left index and pinky fingers. The middle and ring fingers of both hands were pressed together side by side. The inside of her left thumb pressed against the pad of her right index fingertip, while her right thumb was curled inward, its tip placed on the base crease of her right index finger.

WHOOSH—

In that instant, six titanic pillars of cyan wind formed, reaching from earth to sky. Surging bolts of lightning wrapped around the pillars, looking as if they would tear the very world apart.

"Those are five Pure Elemental Soul Beasts of at least B Talent, all with their own Rare Talents. As expected of someone from a prestigious clan. To have already formed the beginnings of a Spiritual Treasure Body at such a young age..." Sage explained in an amazed tone, his cheeks brightly illuminated by the lightning.

"This... what does this have to do with a Spiritual Treasure Body?" Han Ning asked, his eyes fixed on the incredibly magnificent scene above.

"Her Treasure Body is clearly of the Wind and Thunder Attributes. Wind is likely her Primary Attribute, and Thunder her secondary. Using the Treasure Body as a nexus, she’s unleashing a Spiritual Secret Technique of the Storm Division to link with six Upper-level Soul Beasts that have mastered their own Domains. Spirit, Domain, and Element—a trinity—to activate the most orthodox Elemental Forbidden Technique of the Witch Spirit Race."

"Her Main Combat Soul Beast is a Storm Spirit... The Forbidden Secret Technique must be Wind-Breath Thunder Prison. This little girl is quite a bit stronger than I was back in my day," Hom remarked with a sigh.

「Above the battlefield.」

Chaojing’s eyes revealed a look of deep apprehension, as if he had recalled some terrifying experience. A red glow emanated from a Sea Beast tattoo shaped like a shark on the right side of his chest.

The next moment, the ceaseless roar of the tide filled the sky. A massive, ink-black shark with rows of sharp teeth suddenly leaped from the giant wave, carrying a tremendous amount of seawater as it charged toward Irena, who was behind the Wind Spirits.

Not only that, but the tattoos on Chaojing’s left shoulder and lower abdomen lit up in succession.

A thick, dark-green serpent poked its head out from the waves, opened its massive maw, and spewed toward the sky.

As if the rivers and seas were inverted, an endless torrent of seawater appeared in the sky, forming a deep-blue barrier that blotted out the sun and blocked Irena from channeling the natural lightning.

The six Elemental Soul Beasts simultaneously stirred their elements, shooting out rings of wind and chains of lightning to bind the attacking shark.

Irena finished reciting a part of the Spell, opened her eyes, drew her bowstring, pointed the arrowhead at the sky, and chanted the latter half of the Spell:

"Vast and mighty gales, Wind-Breath Thunder Prison!"

As her voice fell, lightning surged through the clouds above the Sunset Islands. A piercingly brilliant bolt of lightning, accompanied by a biting gale, descended from midair!

RUMBLE...

A grave expression appeared on Chaojing’s face. He looked up to see jagged, forked bolts of lightning descending from the sky, striking right down at him.

BOOM!

The lightning poured down, viciously striking the seawater barrier. In an instant, plasma roiled, transforming the entire lake-like barrier into a Thunder Pool.

TZZT... TZZT...

Seeing this, Chaojing snorted coldly. The blowhole on the head of the Giant Whale beneath his feet let out a sharp, whistle-like sound, sucking dry the surrounding airflow. A constantly tumbling, translucent sphere rapidly formed outside its blowhole.

"ROAR!"

Along with a deafening roar, the sphere accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated again. Trailing a high-speed, spiraling airflow, it shot toward the sky like a cannonball.

The sphere shattered the lightning, soared into the heavens, and dispersed several thunderclouds, slightly weakening the power of the lightning.

However, an endless stream of lightning continued to fall. In just a few seconds, nearly a tenth of the massive wave beneath Chaojing was torn apart and vaporized by the strikes.

Chaojing stared fixedly at Irena, his eyes dark and grim.

The next second, he seemed to make a momentous decision.

His chest, tattooed with six ferocious Sea Beasts, lit up with a blood-red glow.

A thick, bloody mist seeped from the red glow and sank into the waves below.

At the same time, all the free-flowing Water Element Spiritual Energy within a radius of several thousand kilometers was drained away.

Pillars of water rose from the sea behind him, drawn by an unseen force to converge beneath him.

At this very moment, the Sea Race Beast Master was bathed in blood, his eyes crimson. He roared, "Covering Sea!"

Within the massive wave, ten enormous, red-glowing eyeballs lit up.

The net of lightning binding the surface of the wave began to shatter, inch by inch.

Seeing this, Irena’s expression turned cold. An Energy Body that looked exactly like her and was composed entirely of elements appeared behind her.

"Storm True Spirit..."

One of the six Elemental Soul Beasts stopped its work of binding the wave and flew to the eastern position as well.

After reciting a short incantation, it then floated to the southern position:

"Reviving Wind Spirit..."

Then, to the western position:

"Split Domain Wind Spirit..."

And then to the northern position:

"Thunder Extreme True Spirit..."

Finally, it flew to the center:

"Mighty Holy Spirit, shake the realm..."

BOOM—

Far above in the distant sky, a startling thunderclap exploded.

The six Elemental Soul Beasts were distributed across five directions. Before and behind her floated two of them—a Soul Beast of Wind and a Soul Beast of Thunder.

Dense black clouds gathered from all directions above Irena’s head. Within the high dome of the sky, leaden clouds roiled and spun, gradually forming a gigantic, deep, lead-colored vortex. Arcs of lightning surged within it, and furious gales howled.

Irena’s body was lifted by the immense Dual Type Spiritual Energy, raising her several hundred meters into the air. The fierce wind sent her hair flying wildly and her cyan-blue dress whipping about.

"Six Realms True Spirit, descend upon this world!"

The clouds trembled violently. An endless torrent of blue lightning roiled and cracked, seeming incredibly volatile.

The cyan storm winds blew so fiercely that they actually scraped dense black cracks into space itself.

Above the five positions where Irena had floated—east, south, west, north, and center—six thick pillars of thunder and wind appeared, connecting to the sky. At their apex, six deep, cracked-open portals emerged.

Terrifying Spiritual Pressure surged from the portals, pouring into the Energy Bodies of the six Elemental Soul Beasts.

Six massive figures, composed purely of solidified energy, rapidly manifested above the five positions.

"Heh, I was right. The Sunset Islands really do have a fissure linking to the Elemental Sanctuary." Seeing this, Sage showed a faint smile and took the initiative to explain to those around him,

"The True Spirits she mentioned are actually powerful Elemental Soul Beasts that live in the depths of Subspace. They’re probably similar to Ancient Dragons—too powerful to descend into the mortal world. This entire series of Secret Techniques is for the sole purpose of borrowing the power of these Elemental True Spirits."

"Hmm... She’s used two Secret Techniques in total: Wind-Breath Thunder Prison, and this one for borrowing power... I’ve never seen this second one before."

"Only an Elemental Soul Beast that surpasses the Emperor Level can be called a True Spirit. Since they’ve borrowed the power of True Spirits, you could, I suppose, call them weakened versions of True Spirits..."
