Chapter 48: The Struggle for the Soul Suppressing Stone (Part 5)

A golden phoenix, radiant and vigorous, stood in the middle of the grassland, observing the scene around a large hole. This vibrant golden phoenix was none other than Fang Xin.

Fang Xin, who should have been lying at death’s door in the crater at the center of the chamber, was now standing unharmed in the grassland outside the chamber’s ceiling. He looked far from severely wounded; in fact, he appeared quite spirited.

What exactly had happened when Fang Xin was about to fall and released the Thunder Feather Kill? What was the truth hidden by the thick dust?

To understand all that had transpired, we must go back to the moment Fang Xin was about to hit the ground.

As Fang Xin was falling, he unleashed the Thunder Feather Kill in his Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body state, bursting through the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power constraints. He swiftly spread his wings and dived to dodge the impact of falling from the sky.

The crater at the center of the chamber was created by the impact of the Thunder Feather Kill breaking through the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power restraint.

When Fang Xin released the Thunder Feather Kill and broke through the water rabbit’s layer of soul power, the unobstructed Thunder Feather directly hit the ground, causing the chamber to be filled with dust.

Amidst the dense dust, Fang Xin spread his wings and dived, avoiding the damage from the high fall. After performing these actions, Fang Xin hardly depleted any of his demonic energy.

The chamber was filled with dust from the impact of the black Thunder Feathers created by the Thunder Feather Kill, and the mysterious water rabbit lost its vision inside the chamber. Under the cover of the dense dust, Fang Xin flew out of the hole he had created in the chamber’s ceiling.

However, all these events took place beneath the veil of dust, and almost simultaneously as Fang Xin broke through the soul power of the mysterious water rabbit, he also hit the ground. The excited mysterious water rabbit did not take the disappearance of its soul power seriously.

It assumed that Fang Xin, having fallen to the ground, was on his last breath, and the soul power, having no target to bind, dissipated. The sound of the Thunder Feather Kill hitting the ground was mistaken by the mysterious water rabbit for the sound of Fang Xin’s fall, dispelling any doubts in its mind.

Even now, the mysterious water rabbit was puzzled as to why Fang Xin, who should have fallen to the ground, was not in the crater at the center of the chamber.

The mysterious water rabbit still refused to believe that Fang Xin had escaped. To the rabbit, it seemed utterly impossible.

Using the Thunder Feather Kill in the Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body state required enormous demonic energy, so Fang Xin’s abundant demonic energy had been greatly depleted.

Having escaped the chamber, Fang Xin lay down in the grass outside the chamber and activated the Heaven Leveling Technique to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the demonic energy he had expended using the Thunder Feather Kill while in the Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body state. He planned to recover some energy before returning to fight the mysterious water rabbit.

As he recuperated in the dense grass, Fang Xin recalled the heart-stopping events of earlier and still felt a sense of trepidation. If he had not released the Thunder Feather Kill in time to break through the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power that bound him, he would surely have met a gruesome end.

All this had happened because the mysterious water rabbit had been overconfident in its soul power, convinced that Fang Xin could not possibly break through the binding force it had cast on him in such a short amount of time. This had given Fang Xin a chance to survive.

However, Fang Xin’s escape was not entirely due to the mysterious water rabbit’s overconfidence. The main reason was that Fang Xin possessed sufficient strength. If Fang Xin had not been strong enough, then even if the mysterious water rabbit had been overly confident, it would not have made a difference.

Fang Xin would still not have been able to break through the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power.

Ultimately, it was because of Fang Xin’s own abilities that he was able to break free from the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power.

The Soul Suppressing Stone was exceedingly powerful. Despite being far weaker than Fang Xin, by relying on the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, the mysterious water rabbit had almost put Fang Xin in a life-or-death situation. This had further fueled Fang Xin’s determination to obtain the Soul Suppressing Stone.

Meanwhile, back in the chamber, the mysterious water rabbit had searched for Fang Xin’s corpse for ages without success and was finally forced to face reality.

The reality was that Fang Xin was not dead at all. The large crater in the center of the chamber had not been created by Fang Xin’s impact, but rather by the attack he had used to break free from the mysterious water rabbit’s soul power. By now, Fang Xin was long out of danger and could very well be watching the rabbit from a concealed location.

The mysterious water rabbit’s guess was correct. At that moment, Fang Xin was indeed outside the chamber, concealed in the grass, observing the rabbit’s every move through the hole he had created in the chamber’s ceiling by manipulating his body.

The sight of the mysterious water rabbit’s bewilderment and disbelief filled Fang Xin with joy. To Fang Xin, the fact that he could disconcert his opponent brought him great satisfaction.

Seeing the mysterious water rabbit in distress filled Fang Xin with immense joy. He felt a sense of elation at having narrowly escaped death and at seeing the water rabbit defeated. In Fang Xin’s heart, he was already delighted at the thought that the Soul Suppressing Stone would soon be his. It’s fair to say, Fang Xin was thinking quite ahead into the future.

Fang Xin didn’t waste any time. He rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth using the Heaven Leveling Technique, swiftly replenishing the demonic energy within his body. Thanks to the absorption speed of the Leveling Heaven Technique. Thunder Chapter, which was on par with sky-grade methods, Fang Xin’s demonic energy was restored at an astonishing rate.

Even with his demonic energy quickly replenishing, Fang Xin was still not fully satisfied. He wished that his energy could be fully restored in just one second because he was eager to quickly deal with the mysterious water rabbit and obtain the Soul Suppressing Stone. It had already been two days since Fang Xin had been chasing the mysterious water rabbit down to this underground cavern.

During these two days, Fang Xin had experienced much, learning firsthand how fine the line between life and death could be, especially for someone with little real combat experience like himself.

More importantly, when he left, he was on a mission entrusted by his master. Now, having vanished without a trace for two days, Yuan Gang and his master had no idea where he was.

Fang Xin now wanted to swiftly end the fight and return to the Demon Wind Tiger King, so as not to worry them any longer.

Several minutes had passed since the dust had settled, and Fang Xin’s demonic energy had already recovered eighty percent. This rapid recovery was thanks to the powerful bloodline of the Thunder Phoenix and the high absorption rate of the Heaven Leveling Technique drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

From the hole, Fang Xin looked down and saw the mysterious water rabbit still hopping around, searching for him, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Fang Xin didn’t want to wait any longer. Even though he had only recovered eighty percent of his demonic energy, the mysterious water rabbit wasn’t in perfect condition either, he thought to himself.

Fang Xin bent his body and retracted his wings, ready to attack.

You’ve tried to put me to death several times, yet I’ve survived. Now, it’s time for you to truly face the end!

Chapter 49: The Battle for the Soul Suppressing Stone (Part 6)

Fang Xin looked down through the hole and saw the mysterious water rabbit still hopping around inside the chamber.

The mysterious water rabbit had been hopping around the chamber, which though not too large, for quite some time now, but to its growing frustration, it could not find any trace of the golden phoenix anywhere.

The mysterious water rabbit had searched every corner of the chamber and had even carefully checked the large crater several times, but it still could not find any sign of a living creature, let alone Fang Xin’s large body.

After searching the chamber for so long, the mysterious water rabbit had never once considered that Fang Xin might have flown out through the hole in the ceiling of the chamber and into the grass above. This was not to say that the mysterious water rabbit was unintelligent, but rather that despite having broken through the bloodline limitations of ordinary water rabbits, its intelligence was still on par with theirs.

If the mysterious water rabbit had been slightly more intelligent, it would have realized that Fang Xin was a bird, and not just any bird, but a Thunder Phoenix, the undisputed ruler of the skies. Although the chamber was indeed quite tall, to Fang Xin, it was as easy to navigate as flat ground, or to put it another way, the sky was to Fang Xin what flat ground was to humans.

However, to the mysterious water rabbit, the height of the chamber ceiling was like an insurmountable chasm, and no matter how much it jumped, it would never be able to reach the ground outside the chamber ceiling. At least, not with its current physical strength.

Moreover, even if the mysterious water rabbit had somehow discovered Fang Xin on the ground outside the chamber ceiling, it would have been helpless, as it would have to travel all the way back through the underground cavern to reach Fang Xin.

In theory, the mysterious water rabbit could have enveloped itself in its soul power and floated up into the sky, just as it had done when it lifted Fang Xin into the air with its soul power.

The prerequisite for this, of course, was that the mysterious water rabbit was capable of doing so. Just as a human cannot lift themselves up by their own bootstraps, so too is it impossible for the mysterious water rabbit to levitate using its own soul power.

Regardless of what the mysterious water rabbit did, it no longer had the time to consider its next move.

Fang Xin, waiting outside the chamber ceiling, had already resolved to kill the mysterious water rabbit, and had adjusted his posture and aura in preparation for a surprise attack on the mysterious water rabbit, who was still hopping around the chamber below.

However, the mysterious water rabbit was no longer able to think clearly due to its dwindling energy. After all, Fang Xin was about to appear before it, assuming, of course, that it could withstand Fang Xin’s surprise attack.

In order to inflict maximum damage on the mysterious water rabbit with this surprise attack, Fang Xin activated his Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body, adjusted his aura, bent his body, and powerfully bent his legs to gather strength, waiting for the moment to explode.

Fang Xin, who had made all the necessary preparations, was finally about to launch his attack.

Whoosh~

Fang Xin rushed out of the hole in the roof of the chamber from the ground outside, using the rebound force to propel himself forward quickly, and at the same time, Fang Xin used Thunder Flash.

Fang Xin, who was already charging down at high speed, was even faster with the rapid acceleration of Thunder Flash, turning into a black lightning bolt. His speed was much faster than when Fang Xin had fallen earlier.

In fact, the two speeds could not be compared at all, because they were not even in the same league. And now, the feeling of being in control of his body was hundreds of times better than before.

Whoosh~

Fang Xin, who had transformed into a black lightning bolt, instantly appeared behind the hopping mysterious water rabbit with his astonishing speed, but the mysterious water rabbit did not react at all.

Fang Xin, who had activated his Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and transformed into a black lightning bolt, was getting closer and closer to the mysterious water rabbit.

But the mysterious water rabbit still did not react.

Fang Xin was confident that if this attack hit the mysterious water rabbit, its physical strength would not be able to withstand it and it would die.

The mysterious water rabbit, who had experienced many battles, had developed remarkable reflexes. Just when Fang Xin, who had activated his Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and used Thunder Flash to transform into a black lightning bolt, was about to strike the mysterious water rabbit’s back, it suddenly seemed to sense the danger and came to a halt.

The mysterious water rabbit, without hesitation, spun around. In that moment, it had sensed a lethal force approaching, thanks to its years of combat experience, and promptly turned to face the danger.

Upon turning, the mysterious water rabbit saw a black bolt of lightning hurtling towards it rapidly. The rabbit couldn’t help but feel fortunate for its battle-honed instincts that had alerted it to the impending threat.

Fang Xin, observing the mysterious water rabbit swiftly turning around, marveled at its keen senses. Despite his efforts to mask his presence, his surprise attack had failed.

However, Fang Xin felt no disappointment at missing the mysterious water rabbit.

Given the rabbit had now spotted him and given the short distance between them, it was unlikely to evade the swift assault.

The mysterious water rabbit, feeling the imminent danger and turning to see the black lightning formed by Fang Xin’s activation of the Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and Thunder Flash, was momentarily stunned.

This black lightning is simply too fast. At such a short distance, I can’t possibly dodge its strike, was the rabbit’s immediate thought upon seeing the black lightning formed by Fang Xin’s special techniques.

At that moment, the mysterious water rabbit had no choice but to rapidly create a soul barrier, amplified by the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone it held, in an attempt to block some of the black lightning’s strike.

Unaware that the black, smoke-emanating lightning was Fang Xin transformed by the Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and Thunder Flash, the rabbit naively wondered if it was being punished by the heavens for breaking some celestial bloodline restriction.

The rabbit was overthinking it; any divine punishment for breaking bloodline restrictions would have occurred right after the breakthrough, not years afterward without reason.

Just as the rabbit hastily formed a temporary soul barrier, the black lightning, a result of Fang Xin’s activation of the Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and Thunder Flash, struck the mysterious water rabbit.

The rabbit’s makeshift soul barrier, bolstered by the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, managed to barely withstand the strike of the black lightning transformed by Fang Xin.

But Fang Xin’s attack was far from over, and the rabbit’s temporary soul barrier, even with the augmentation from the Soul Suppressing Stone, was gradually thinning.

Chapter 50: Finally Obtaining the Soul Suppressing Stone

Crackle...

Fang Xin, in the state of Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and using Thunder Flash, transformed into a black bolt of lightning that struck the intangible soul barrier supported by the Soul Suppressing Stone of the mysterious water rabbit.

The soul barrier that the mysterious water rabbit hastily set up with the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone managed to block Fang Xin’s attack.

However, this was only a temporary respite for the mysterious water rabbit; its crisis was far from over.

After Fang Xin’s black lightning, formed by the activation of his Heavenly Thunder Indestructible Body and Thunder Flash, was blocked by the soul barrier created by the mysterious water rabbit using the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, it did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to strike the intangible soul barrier.

Under the relentless assault of Fang Xin’s black lightning, the soul barrier that the mysterious water rabbit had created with the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone gradually grew thinner, accompanied by faint cracking sounds.

Although the Soul Suppressing Stone was powerful, the time it had given the mysterious water rabbit was simply too short. Even though the soul barrier had been set up with the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, it could not withstand Fang Xin’s full-force attack.

Fang Xin’s attack was not only well-prepared but also executed with almost all of his strength. Although the mysterious water rabbit’s strength was inferior to Fang Xin’s, even with the power of the Soul Suppressing Stone, it could not withstand Fang Xin’s attack in such a short period of time.

Crack...

A few seconds later, the sound of something shattering echoed through the empty chamber. This shattering sound was the
