Chapter 886 - 886 138 Spirit Beast Transformation

886: Chapter 138: Spirit Beast Transformation 886: Chapter 138: Spirit Beast Transformation Jiang Wang deliberately extinguished the Samadhi True Fire, certainly not to test the hardness of this Sea Clan’s shell with his bare hands.As his palm touched the shell, scorched hot by the Samadhi True Fire, the black Hidden Snake had already slithered out from the Inner Mansion and instantaneously burrowed into the sea of consciousness of the Sea Clan beneath his feet.

Speaking of the Soul Stealth Snake, it also had the use of taking over the nest of another, although not as mystical as some secret techniques of possession.

Still, when the opponent was incapacitated, it could control the opponent’s body, although Jiang Wang had never tried it on any human before.

Today, he wanted to test if he could control the Sea Clan in the Lost World using the Soul Stealth Snake.

This was crucial for his plans moving forward.

The Hidden Snake swam into a vast sea of consciousness.

With the perspective of the Hidden Snake, Jiang Wang could see, on the island in the center of the sea of consciousness, stood a bald strong man wielding dual axes, clearly the Soul Manifestation of this Sea Clan member.

This was different from the octopus Sea Beast’s Spirit he had observed on Youxia Island.

If both were from the Sea Clan, why weren’t their Spirit forms consistent?

In that moment of hesitation, his opponent had already reacted.

“You want to enslave me!

I’ll fight you!”

The bald strong man raised his axes high and roared upwards in the sea of consciousness—his spirit suddenly swelled, transforming into a giant crab with raised pincers.

Jiang Wang felt, his Divine Soul Strength had suddenly doubled!

The eyes of the giant crab’s spirit had turned into a frenzied blood red, distinctly different from the outside world, as if it had lost its mind in a flash.

Jiang Wang barely had time to contemplate the meaning of this transformation when the giant crab exploded violently!

Soul Self-Destruction!

Jiang Wang quickly severed the connection with the Soul Stealth Snake, tapped his toes, the Qingyun Mark flashed and vanished, and his figure had already soared into the high sky.

The giant crab’s external appearance, now devoid of any signs of life, floated on the spot.

A gentle breeze could carry it away.

Aloft in the sky, Jiang Wang fell into a brief silence.

What silenced him was not the loss of several dozens of Soul Stealth Snakes; such losses could be quickly recovered.

Rather, he suddenly realized the reason for the uncontrollable “Huzong Sea Beasts” in the Near Sea Archipelago!

The body structure of the Sea Clan was different from the Human Race, lacking partitions like the Tongtian Palace, Five Mansions Sea, or the Star Sea.

There was just one sea of consciousness.

This sea of consciousness was similar to the Human Race’s Five Mansions Sea, and the island at its center resembled the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island of the Human Race cultivators.

Of course, these were not the focus at the moment.

The key point was that the form of the bald strong man that Jiang Wang saw at first glance was the proper Soul Manifestation state of the Sea Clan!

Yet this Sea Clan member’s spirit could still evolve into a beast form, boosting the Divine Soul Strength significantly!

The “true form of the sea master” already made the Sea Clan’s flesh body much stronger, arguably far surpassing their Water Race kin.

Now, with this ability to evolve and momentarily enhance Divine Soul Strength, could this evolution be called the “true spirit form of the sea master”?

The octopus Sea Beast he had killed before, now it seemed, was a Battle General Level member of the Sea Clan, stronger than the Sea Clan member he faced just now.

Back when he was in the sea of consciousness of that octopus Sea Beast, and saw the destroyed command flags, he had a feeling that the command flags and the Spirit of the octopus Sea Beast did not seem to match.

Could those capable of capturing powerful Sea Clan members in the Lost World and laying down restraints to control them really make such a mistake?

How could they overlook a problem even Jiang Wang could spot?

Combining what he had just witnessed, Jiang Wang concluded that the transformation of the Spirit of the octopus Sea Beast occurred afterwards.

The beast-transformed spirit directly shattered the restraint, leading to the frequent madness of the Huzong Sea Beasts of the Near Sea Archipelago.

Having never heard before that the Sea Clan’s spirit could undergo beast transformation, does this suggest that the Sea Clan’s strength has undergone a qualitative improvement during this period?

The Sea Clan member Jiang Wang had just suppressed was merely a Soldier-level, the most ordinary amongst the Sea Clan.

Yet even he possessed the power of Spirit beast transformation, although losing his mind in the process of transformation.

This undoubtedly speaks volumes.

This method had widely spread among the Sea Clan.

If a Soldier-level Sea Clan member’s Spirit beast transformation leads to madness, what about the Battle General Level?

The Commander-level… or even the King-level?

Could they suppress the madness and only gain strength?

Without a doubt, the overall strength of the Sea Clan would leap forward significantly.

Just thinking about it sends shivers down one’s spine!

Jiang Wang was sure he was not the first to discover this.

The first time he visited the Lost World, he noticed that the Sea Clan exhibited phenomena of spiritual beast transformation.

Those powerful beings who had battled in the Lost World for years could not have failed to notice it.

It seemed that the Sea Clan had not tried to hide it either.

Or rather, such a large-scale enhancement involving the entire clan could not be concealed.

Yang Liu had mentioned that Diao Hai Building had long begun investigating the phenomenon of uncontrolled sea beasts, and he had previously seen Chen Zhitao, the eldest disciple of Diao Hai Building, running about everywhere.

With the strength of Diao Hai Building, they must have noticed it a long time ago; Jueming Island and Yang Valley were not to be underestimated either.

So, how should the Human Race respond?

The military strength of the Human Race in the Lost World must be enhanced, Qi Country at least needs to send another army of the nine-soldier level…

Perhaps this was the reason why Yang Valley and Jueming Island had both sent True Men to participate in the Sea Festival this time?

To repair and strengthen the human defensive line?

Jiang Wang temporarily set aside these thoughts; he was not yet in a position to decide on major issues like the maritime defense line.

He would discuss other matters after safely leaving the Lost World.

He had waited here for a while, the corpse of that leader of the Sea Clan, now resembling an animal, had been decomposing for a long time, but no sea beast had come to feed on it.

It seemed that the information “The Sea Clan is not food” had been ingrained into the instincts of the sea beasts.

Jiang Wang did not do anything else, but continued to patrol around, looking for the most suitable location, waiting for the best opportunity.

Just before he flew far away, he suddenly wondered—

He didn’t know how those floating corpses were eventually “digested” by the Lost World.

Were they like the corpses in the real world?

…

…

Jiang Wang and Granny Bizhu had already started fighting in the Lost World, yet no more was being discussed about them on the Heaven and Earth Lonely Island.

The lost Heroic Spirits of the Lost World had embarked on the path of return; under Hai Jingping’s leadership, there had been prayers, sacrificial dances, and many other rituals, all coming to an end.

At this point in time.

The Sea Festival Ceremony was nearing its end.

The many guests attending the ceremony were becoming increasingly tense, because the truly crucial moment was just beginning.

The master of Diao Hai Building, Wei Xun, was sitting upright in his grand chair, staring ahead, his expression neither sad nor joyous.

Qi Xiao, Yang Feng, and Jiang Wuyou, also still in the main seats, stood with proper decorum.

Especially Jiang Wuyou, who was growing increasingly uneasy.

Standing near a True Monarch of considerable strength, who was not particularly friendly, was hard for anyone; it was all too clear that he could extinguish your life with a single breath.

But the reason Jiang Wuyou hoped the Sea Festival would end soon was not this.

What disturbed her was the fact that a person of Wei Xun’s stature did not need to appear at a Sea Festival Ceremony—yet he had appeared.

So, what was his reason for appearing at the Sea Festival Ceremony?

Could it simply be to send Jiang Wang to the Lost World?

That would be like blowing an ant away; it could only be a casual act, surely not a significant affair for such a powerful figure.

This kind of variable, beyond control and likely to impact the entire Near Sea Archipelago situation, was the reason the Lord of Hua Ying Palace felt uneasy.

“Those who accompanied me to the Sea Festival Ceremony all those years ago…” After Hai Jingping concluded the ceremony, Wei Xun finally spoke, his words tinged with melancholy, “are no longer here.”
