Nine Dragons’ Protection?

The murderous-looking Yang Ling raised his Battle Soul Blade high and instantly beheaded Vladimir before taking out his Godhead. When the crowd saw this, they were all astounded.

Vladimir, who possessed a Divine Power’s power, who was much stronger than ordinary High-Level Deities, was killed by a single strike!

The wanderers in the vicinity were dumbfounded, and the Thousand-Handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, as well as the Chief Elven Priestess and others, who couldn’t come to the rescue in time, rubbed their eyes in disbelief. This was the case even for Dio’s arrogant group. When Algernon Divine Branch’s people witnessed Vladimir display his great magical power to crush everything in his way, they even cheered for him loudly. They didn’t expect him to end up like this in the twinkling of an eye.

No one expected a powerful Divine Duty’s expert like Vladimir to be killed in this way by a trifling Mid-Level Deity such as Yang Ling.

“Is he an apex expert that concealed his aura or a great clan’s descendant, who concealed his status and traveled with a top-grade Protective Master Divine Weapon?

When the crowd looked at the awe-inspiring Yang Ling, who raised his Battle Soul Blade high, they started making guesses about his real status. He managed to chop off Vladimir’s head with a single strike. So, he was either a peerless expert who concealed his aura deliberately or a person with a terrifying Protective Divine Weapon. Any of those possibilities suggested that Yang Ling wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

“Nine Dragons’ Protection?” The black-robed old man Vitaly swallowed his saliva with great difficulty as he thought about the nine berserk giant dragons that appeared, as well as the miserable scream of Vladimir at death’s door.

There were all kinds of Divine Weapons with physical protection or soul attacks in the various planes, and there were also many Master Divine Weapons with great might. But a Divine Weapon that could defend its owner and counterattack by itself was quite rare, and a Divine Weapon that could deprive a Divine Duty’s expert of his power was even rarer. It was only the top-grade Master Divine Weapons in the legends that possessed this terrifying power.

The Spatial Teleportation Law, a Lightning Law with great power, strange Spatial Fetters, a Battle Soul Blade with an intense murderous aura, and a terrifying Protective Master Divine Weapon. Everything demonstrated that Yang Ling’s status was anything but simple, and their group had likely provoked a member of the few ancient clans with an inheritance of a million years. Even Algernon Divine Branch didn’t dare to provoke those ancient clans!

“Young master Dio, let’s go. Let’s go quickly.” When Vitaly noticed that Yang Ling was looking at their group with his ice-cold gaze and detected an obscure Divine Consciousness lock into his Soul Ripples, he felt intense danger and didn’t dare to ignore it. He spoke before he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Dio.

“Humph! Let’s go.” Dio looked at the beheaded Vladimir, as well as the bloodstained Slaughter-God-like Yang Ling, who glared at him coldly. Soon after, Dio gnashed his teeth and turned around to leave. “Vitaly, get in touch with Mr. Battier and ask him to rush over at the highest speed possible.”

Should he order Mr. Battier to rush over here? Vitaly’s body shivered. “Young master, Mr. Battier is looking for the Mother Nest’s whereabouts in the depths of the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, and if we ask him to rush over promptly, this will...”

When Vitaly discerned that the young master Dio still wasn’t giving up on Yang Ling’s Godhead, he couldn’t help but whine inwardly. He was in charge of the young master’s safety, and if Dio suffered any mishap, he wouldn’t just fail to get to practice in the Earth Core Shrine, he might even lose his head.

“Call over Mr. Battier quickly and say that we need reinforcement for the Moon River’s exploration. After we go back, I will explain everything to my father personally.” Dio’s expression was ice-cold, and he spoke coldly. “The Graveyard of Gods and Devils is filled with dangers, and even a Divine Duty’s expert may die at an unknown place by mistake. That hateful guy has a Protective Divine Weapon, but it still wouldn’t be strange for him to die in the wilderness. Even if his family suspects that it’s us who attacked him in the dark, if they don’t have any proof, they won’t be able to accuse our Algernon Divine Branch. In addition, sometimes we don’t have to attack directly.”

Dio sneered coldly as he thought about the group of God-Level Magical Beasts in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, as well as the powerful Demon Battle Teams and the numerous Alien Planes’ experts. Summoning over the powerful Mr. Battier was just a precaution. He still believed that he could draw help from other people to kill the hateful Yang Ling without using his clan’s power.

Dio had an unpredictable and volatile temperament. He was already used to adding fuel to the fire and making use of people to kill others for him due to his clan’s influence. His fighting prowess wasn’t outstanding in comparison to his numerous half brothers, and his talent wasn’t on par with his genius sixth brother, but he could still depend upon his wisdom and ruthlessness to gradually approach the position of the clan’s successor. Ever since he was a child, there hadn’t been anything that he couldn’t get.

Swoosh!

...

Dio’s group was swift, and they shortly left the Wanderer Camp like a gust of wind. They disappeared among the boundless forest.

“Lord, are you all right?” When the beauty Sala saw Yang Ling’s chest bleeding, she quickly rushed over with tearful eyes. The Thousand-Handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, the Chief Elven Priestess, the Sword God Gerald, and others also encircled Yang Ling quickly. They were deeply worried!

“I’m all right. It’s just a minor wound. It will be fine after I recuperate for several days.” Yang Ling forced himself to smile before he put back the Battle Soul Blade into the scabbard on his back. Soon after, he waved his hand and moved Vladimir’s corpse into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension before sealing his soul, which would shortly dissipate with a Restriction Spell. Afterward, he flew quickly toward the tent set up by the crowd before he turned around and instructed them. “Bartley, you should guard this region with Elizabeth and the others. No one is allowed to come inside without my permission.”

After Yang Ling instructed them, he entered the tent and set up a Restriction Spell. Soon after, he quickly entered the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. At that moment, blood gushed out of his chest. The wound made by Vladimir’s blade was so deep that bones could be seen, but what was worse was that he felt a stab of intense pain in his head. The Soul Crystal in his brain was almost destroyed.

At the crucial juncture, the Nine-Dragon Divine Ring around his finger blocked most of the power of Vladimir’s Soul Attack, but some of the Earth Thorns still penetrated his body, and they stabbed his Soul Crystal like blades. It was fortunate that his Soul Energy and Soul Crystal’s defense were quite strong, because if that wasn’t the case, his soul would have been extinguished on the spot.

After he killed the powerful Vladimir with a single blade strike, the Wizard Power and Mental Energy within his body were thoroughly exhausted. However, he persisted and stood firmly despite his grave injuries in order to intimidate Dio’s vile group. If the enemy had sent over another Divine Duty’s expert, the consequences would have been too horrible to imagine. It was fortunate that they misunderstood his status and power and quickly left to go far away.

“It was a close call. It’s fortunate that I wore this ring before fighting.” Yang Ling looked at the serene Nine-Dragon Divine Ring around his finger and rejoiced inwardly. He swallowed in one go several Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs as well as Life Springs’ water before he sat down in the Great Wizard Pagoda’s vicinity. He read the Wizard Mantra in silence and drew help from the white fog emitted by the Great Wizard Pagoda to heal his injuries quickly.

Swoosh!

The dense white fog flowed into Yang Ling’s body. It repaired his torn veins and healed his bloody wounds. The Soul Crystal in his brain also started recovering its power thanks to the white fog’s nourishment, releasing silvery gas that formed pure Crystal Fog.

The injuries recovered to normal gradually, and the Soul Crystal glowed with vitality again. As it released thick Crystal Fog, it seemed like a breathing Crystal Core. His Wizard Power and Mental Energy, which were nearly exhausted, also started recovering to usual.

Two hours, four hours...

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ling opened his eyes and took a careful look. He discovered that all of his injuries had already recovered at an unknown time, while his Wizard Power and Mental Energy had grown even stronger. It was probably because he had absorbed a large amount of Wish Power released by the numerous believers’ prayers, yet it might also have been because he had absorbed a large amount of the energy contained within the white fog. He was closer to advancing into the Mid-Level Soul Wizard Stage!

A High-Level Godhead, a sharp large blade, as well as a precious Dragon-Head Ring and... When Yang Ling looked at the beheaded corpse of Vladimir near him and observed his intense Soul Energy Ripples with his senses, his eyes lit up.

The Soul Energy of an Abyssal Demon with a High-Level Deity power was like a marvelous tonic, and Vladimir was a Divine Duty’s expert with a power greater than a High-Level Deity. The might of his Sky-Reaching Thorns Wave and Earth Cage were quite great, and his Soul Energy was stronger than an ordinary apex High-Level Deity by many folds.

“If I refine and absorb his soul, I may promptly become a Mid-Level Soul Wizard.” Yang Ling became quite excited after he carefully observed the Soul Energy Ripples within Vladimir’s body.

After he practiced until he became a Soul Wizard, what limited his advancement wasn’t the mysterious Wizard Power, but the boundless Soul Energy. He wouldn’t be able to strengthen his Divine Consciousness without enough Soul Energy, and he also wouldn’t be able to practice more mysterious Soul Wizard Spells. He also wouldn’t be able to release the real power of the Soul Explosion, Soul Assimilating Light Ray, Soul Roar, and other Soul Wizard Spells, and he wouldn’t be able to quickly become a powerful Wizard God.

The soul was a Soul Wizard’s foundation, and it was more important to him than the boundless Wizard Power and mysterious Worldly Laws. It was also his greatest advantage and support.

Yang Ling took a deep breath and didn’t hesitate any longer. He quickly walked to the side of Vladimir’s corpse and sat down cross-legged. He stretched out his hand and put it on Vladimir’s head before reading a Wizard Mantra in silence. He cast a High-Level Soul Tampering Spell, and wisps of black fog emerged quickly out of Vladimir’s watermelon-like round, large head. Those wisps were all completely absorbed by the Soul Crystal.

Stealing the world’s fortune and refining myriad beings’ souls!

There wasn’t any soul that a Soul Wizard couldn’t refine, and even the Divine Duty’s expert Vladimir wasn’t an exception. As a large amount of Soul Energy flowed into Yang Ling’s brain, he received many pieces of a strange memory and also a huge volume of information.

After he absorbed a large amount of Soul Energy, his Soul Crystal was strengthened quickly, and it released dense Crystal Fog. The whole silvery Soul Crystal turned scarlet, and it started carrying out another transformation. The Wizard Core also turned stronger and released intense Wizard Power.
