Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 432: Soul Golden Liquid

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yang Ling used Soul Refining Wizard Spell to devour and absorb Fabris’s Soul Energy.

Fabris was a Low-level Deity’s powerhouse, and his Soul Energy was extremely powerful. It was even more powerful than 100 Demon’s clones. The reason why he ended up easily succumbing to Yang Ling’s Soul Attacks was that the Roar of Dead Souls and Soul Assimilating Light Ray’s attacks were too strange. The other reason was that Fabris focused his whole energy on Power Domain and Death Domain, and his soul’s defense was quite frail, while the powerful Fabris was also quite careless, and Yang Ling managed to take avail of such a matter to overwhelm him.

Fabris had a powerful soul, frail defense, as well as loose guard. Those were the reasons why Fabris was overwhelmed and ended up stupidly dying in the hands of Yang Ling. Fabris was like a reservoir filled with a large amount of water, but its dike was old and wasn’t repaired frequently, while it still wasn’t overseen strictly. This was why after it went through heavy rain, it crumbled due to a little ant hole.

One ant hole might cause the collapse of a dike that stretched for a thousand miles!

After Yang Ling absorbed a large amount of Soul Energy, the number of Soul Wisps in Yang Ling’s brain became higher, and they all started tangling together, before fusing slowly. They turned into drops of a golden liquid, and the number of drops was only becoming higher.

Soul Golden Liquid?

Yang Ling managed to understand his body’s changes through the Inner-Observation Technique, and he got delighted. According to the Stele’s explanation, the soul could condense gaseous Soul Wisps that could turn into Soul Golden Liquid, before condensing once again and turning into Soul Crystals. At that time, he would be able to advance into Soul Wizard Stage formally.

Once Yang Ling trained until he became a Soul Wizard, his Wizard Power, and Mental Energy wouldn’t just advance by leaps and bounds, he would still get in touch with greater high-grade Wizard Spells, and would be to get control over souls. Currently, if Yang Ling used any Restrictions, Magical Beasts, and poisons in his hands, he would be able to kill a Low-level Deity. It was unknown how great would be his power growth once he became a powerful Soul Wizard.

At that time, he might be able to forcefully eradicate the whole Church, as well as capture the lofty Pope, and take him into the Magical Beast Realm. He could then look for just an insignificant person such as a village chief or a clan chief, and start a trial on the Magical Beast Plaza. He would expose and unmask all of the evil done by the Church and Pope!

As Yang Ling recalled the story of the American that had once captured and interrogated a little nation’s president in one of the United States’ regions, he couldn’t help but chuckle evilly.

The Church was tyrannical, and had many blood debts. It didn’t just massacre a whole race, it still had discriminated against other races, and killed the innocent willfully. It had committed many crimes, while its lofty Pope kidnapped some women. Moreover, it still had formed a feudal system and created a superstitious belief, as well as swindled people. It would be good if he could accuse it of such crimes, and if it wasn’t possible, he would come up with another solution to do so.

The Church’s followers were just bandits and swindlers that enveloped themselves with a beautiful halo.

After Yang Ling extracted Fabris’s Soul Energy without letting off even a wisp, he managed to smoothly get his memory, and he quickly understood many of the Church’s secrets.

It turned out that the Church’s Holy Hall was divided into an Outer Hall and Inner Hall. Even though the Inner Hall had many experts, most of them were only apex Domain Experts, and they didn’t even have several powerhouses such as Fabris.

The Inner Hall’s experts had a broad origin, some of them were experts recruited from the whole continent by the Church over the years, and others were Guardian Knights and Spellcasters trained by the Church, while some of them were believers that joined the ranks of followers willingly. Moreover, some of them were still from distant and strange Alien Planes.

Fabris was born in a declining noble family several tens of thousands of years ago, and he joined the Church in his childhood. He was endowed with high intelligence, and that was why he was trained vigorously by the Church, and he became a Guardian Knight before he was promoted into a White-Robed Priest. Afterward, Fabris was sent into the City Amongst the Clouds to take his baptism there. Fabris’s training speed was so high that none could reach him, and he made many outstanding battle merits as he went on campaigns for the Church.

After the Land-Sea War, Fabris started standing out, and he got to train peacefully in the Holy Hall’s shrine. After several thousand years, he finally managed to break through his bottleneck. He didn’t just advance into the rank of apex Low-Level Deities, but he had even comprehended the Death Law’s Knife Domain.

According to the Holy Hall’s rules, anyone who trained until he became an apex Low-Level Deity could travel into the City Amongst the Clouds to train further. Fabris had planned to kill Yang Ling, steal Elder Brent’s Godhead, before traveling into the City Amongst the Clouds that had innumerable experts. However, he unexpectedly didn’t just fail to steal the Godhead, he had even lost his own.

The City Amongst the Clouds?

What kind of place is it? Is it possible that it’s the faction backing the Church?

According to Fabris’s memory, the City Amongst the Clouds was in another plane, and it had innumerable experts. But he still didn’t have a clear idea about its concrete situation, and he just knew that all Church’s experts yearned for such a place. Such a city was closely related to the Church, and every Pope was appointed by an envoy dispatched by the City Amongst the Clouds, while it was also that said envoy that would appoint and test any Inner Hall’s elder.

An Alien Plane! How many planes did the world have, and how many hidden factions existed?

Yang Ling looked around in Fabris’s memory for a long time, yet he still couldn’t get any more secrets from him, and he could only shake his head. He understood that the world was more complex than he imagined. He then directed his attention to studying the Godhead within Fabris’s body. According to Fabris’s memory, the Godhead and soul were a God-Level Expert’s foundation, and if they lost their soul, they would just become a moving puppet, while if they lost their Godhead, they would become a useless cripple.

There were two methods for advancing into Deities’ ranks, one of them was comprehending one of the six laws, life, order, nature, power, death, and chaos, before breaking through the bottleneck, and becoming a God. Their Domain would then advance, and become a powerful Divine Domain. As for the other method, it was refining and absorbing another person’s Godhead, and using his memory to comprehend a law. One would then manage to advance into God-Level through the second method quickly.

An expert who became a God through comprehending a force’s law was quite powerful, but even the experts who advanced into Gods’ ranks through absorbing other people’s Godheads were also not weak. The crux depended on whoever had a more powerful Divine Power or Soul, or whoever had a deeper comprehension of Laws.

One who managed to ascend into Godhood through comprehending a force surely had a unique understanding of a certain Law. But this still didn’t mean that he would get a deeper understanding of said Law in the future, as most people wouldn’t manage to take a step further in their whole lives, while people who absorbed other people’s Godhead would manage to comprehend Laws quicker, and their power would advance by leaps and bounds in a short time.

This was the reason why Godheads were quite precious in all Planes, while everyone wanted to absorb other people’s Godhead and quickly raise his power. Those two types of people were like illiterate people, one of them was trying to study by himself every day without making headway, and was just trying to understand why one plus one equaled two. As for the other one, he went to question a teacher, and check resources. He would use everything in his hands to quickly grasp the knowledge he wanted.

As a result, after several years, the former guy would cross bitter days with water and steamed buns, while still anxiously studying why one plus one equaled two. As for the latter guy, he would have already grasped all knowledge he required to join the society, and he would be able to earn a large sum of money.

Both people had a similar starting point and a similar amount of time. But one of them had to cross day with water and steamed buns, while the other got himself a car and a beauty. This was the disparity between them!

This was the reason why even though God-Level experts were quite powerful, they were still surrounded by perils, as if they weren’t careful, they would be jointly attacked or set up by other people. Their Godheads would then be stolen, and both their bodies and souls would be exterminated. According to Fabris’s memory, the situation in Life and Order Planes was still good, but in Death and Chaos Planes, danger lurked everywhere, and if someone didn’t have enough power intruded into those places, he was just courting death.

Tsk, tsk. It’s no wonder that all great factions wanted to get the Teleportation Gate and enter into the Graveyard of Deities and Demons to look for several Godheads. It turned out that this was the reason behind it.

After Yang Ling understood a Godhead’s function, he suddenly saw the light, and he recalled the Teleportation Gate in his Space Ring, while a smile appeared on his face. According to the legend, the Graveyard of Deities and Demons was filled with Godheads, and if he could one day stealthily enter it to pick a pile of them, he would be able to provide the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King and the other people a piece, or even more. Wouldn’t it be too terrific?

At that moment, he would have a large number of God-Level Magical Beasts by his side, and even if they just urinated, their urine would be enough to drown the Church and the Holy City. If the Pope dared to bark again, he would just crush him to death with Godheads, or even stuff a Godhead into his mouth, and seal his rear with it.

After Yang Ling fantasized for a while, he got rid of all distracting thoughts and sat down cross-legged. Most of the time, a legend was just nonsense, and none had any idea about the current situation of the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. It didn’t even matter for now whether there was any Godheads or Divine Weapons there, as the current pressing issue was still how could he avoid the Demons lurking there, and how he could leave safe and sound after intruding into it. Those were still grave issues!

As Yang Ling recalled the powerful demons that had almost come out of the Teleportation Gate while he was still in the Underground Tomb, he felt his scalp becoming numb. He wouldn’t easily and rashly touch the Teleportation Gate without enough assurance, as if he ended up releasing several powerful Demons by mistake, he might end up devoured by them before he could respond back. But, if he could one day tame several God-Level Magical Beasts, or become a Soul Wizard, he might be able to set a Restriction Spell and give this matter a try.

Fabris’s Godhead wasn’t big, and it was dark, swarthy, and inconspicuous. It was round and like a small iron bead, and if it didn’t emit many intense energy ripples, none would notice it even if it was thrown onto the roadside.

Does its consumption have any detrimental side effects?

Even after Yang Ling studied the little iron bead repeatedly for a long time, he still didn’t dare to swallow it down, as if he ended up inadvertently swallowing down a deadly poison, it would be done for him. He had managed to kill Fabris only with great difficulty, and nothing would be more frustrating than being killed by his Godhead.

Should I first try it with a spider, an Evil Eye, or another low-grade Magical Beast?

After Yang Ling pondered over this for a moment, he shook his head once again. If a spider became a God in one go after consuming a Godhead, he would only be able to look at it helplessly. So, wouldn’t he suffer a greater loss? Yang Ling pondered for another while before he came up with a solution. He soaked the Godhead in the lake water, before he fed the water into the Spider. He waited for an hour, yet it didn’t seem like the spider suffered any detrimental side effects. Instead, it even became full of energy as if it had gotten great benefits. This was why Yang Ling could set his mind at ease and swallow down the Godhead.

But Yang Ling still put Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs and Life Spring’s water in front of him as a precaution and he made thorough preparation. However, when Yang Ling swallowed Fabris’s Godhead, an unexpected accident still occurred.
