Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3300 - The Undying Yellowspring Variant

"Shut up!" Suishen Yao interrupted, venting her dissatisfaction with her father on Yumo Xue.

The sword in her hand dazzled, as if made of a thousand pink jewels. It was a mid-fortuna-class cosmic artifact called the Kilostar Pearls, a powerful and brutal weapon containing fortuna-class cosmic impulses.

In the face of such an opponent, Suishen Yao manifested her flaregod starsouls and used her eightfold simulacrum, Desolation Swordring, combining the ten swords to form a large loop.

Immortal Starslash!

It was one of the most aggressive, unstoppable sword arts on the myriadpath steles, suitable for sword totems. Combined with Suishen Yao’s eightfold simulacrum, the sword art exuded courage and fearlessness in the face of death.

Suishen Yao’s combat power had indeed won the admiration of everyone in Myriadpath Valley. Although she was just a second-level foundationeer, Suishen Yao could easily take on any ordinary myriadpath saint at the fourth level of the Foundation stage, or even certain elite third-level foundationeers.

However, Yumo Xue had undergone a greater transformation after his tenth drop of starblood. Many were shocked as soon as he manifested his foundation fortress. It wasn’t at all like a youth’s 'cultivation world'. The entire thing seemed filled with baleful souls—ten trillion of them, in fact—who all wailed and struggled. Such resentment undoubtedly had a terrifying impact on Suishen Yao's consciousness!

"What’s that?"

Suishen Yao showed confusion. She had fought with Yumo Xue before, but the resentment was never so strong; or rather, Yumo Xue had never fully unleashed it. But now he seemed fearless. The pain of ten trillion souls became his weapon, a weapon he used to directly suppress Suishen Yao’s foundation fortress. The hellish power of death and resentment permeated the arena as heaven and earth mourned.

"What is this?"

"How’d Yumo Xue cultivate so much resentment?"

"I don't know!"

It was obvious that almost every cultivator outside of the Three Exalted Houses had been kept in the dark. Perhaps Eminent Tiankui might know something, but the others were very confused.

Unleashing the resentment early in the fight gave Yumo Xue the upper hand. His facial features were twisted in madness as he savored the feeling of power. At the same time, his body swelled and turned into a dim yellow fiend with six irises in his eyes.

As a yellowspring variant among the hellfiend skyghouls, his physique had a terrifying ability—that is, his flesh could transform to liquid at any given moment. When his flesh was hard, he could use his hands to resist Suishen Yao’s Kilostar Pearls and could instantly turn into a yellow river when fluid, so her attacks would have no effect on him.

With the overwhelming resentment combined with his foundation fortress and the talent of a yellowspring variant, Yumo Xue awed many people as soon as he made a move. Although he was a second-level foundationeer, he was stronger than most fourth-level foundationeer myriadpath saints, almost on par with Lan Yun, a fifth-level foundationeer.

No wonder the spectators were all astonished by him.

Yumo Xue coldly laughed, breaking through Suishen Yao's Immortal Starslash. In his hands were two snake-like rivers, which was his ability, Grand Python Yellowspring. At the same time, two yellow fireballs shot out of his eyes, rushing toward Suishen Yao as if his eyeballs had left his sockets.

It was his other ability, Sunblaze Netherflame.

"So powerful!"

Although everyone recognized Yumo Xue’s revolting nature, they also saw how powerful he was. Those who supported Tianming felt despair.

Even so, Suishen Yao didn’t give up. She fought very bravely and fiercely, the sword in her hand perfectly synchronizing with her flaregod starsouls. The fact that she had surpassed Yumo Xue on the Prehistoric Path proved that she was excellent at battle arts.

However, House Yumo’s advantage in combat power was demonstrated once Yumo Xue reached the second level of the Foundation stage. In the face of a group of opponents, Suishen Yao would definitely be more efficient, but the battle for the Fortuna Ranking was always single combat.

Relying on the advantage of his order, ten trillion baleful souls, and the 'fluid' nature of the yelowspring variant, Yumo Xue entangled Suishen Yao, whose numerous sword arts impacted his flesh at once. Although she injured him, her attacks failed to disintegrate his combat power. On the other hand, one hit from the specter was all it took to seriously injure Suishen Yao.

That was the difference between the two houses.

Although Suishen Yao appeared to overpower her opponent, bombarding Yumo Xue with destructive sword light, many elders began frowning. With their experience, they knew that Yumo Xue was unperturbed.

The two had fought many times, so he was familiar with Suishen Yao's methods and could prepare in advance. However, the resentment provided by ten trillion souls, his physical talent, and the strength of his cultivation level couldn’t be stopped.

Tianming saw Eminent Jiguang clenching her fists, her eyes red, body trembling, and expression tense. Even she knew that Suishen Yao was unlikely to create a miracle despite risking everything.

The two fought for a long time. It was her best fight against such a powerful opponent. Everyone could see that she had risked everything as she fought more and more fiercely, her sword raging like a storm. Even though Yumo Xue controlled the area with his resentment, her pink sword ki still shone on the Fortuna Arena.

Yumo Xue was almost sliced in half by Suishen Yao! But she failed after all. For a yellowspring variant like him, it was equivalent to missing the target. His wound immediately fused together, leaving his flesh intact. Seizing the moment Suishen Yao exhausted her strength, he launched a fierce counterattack.

“Watch out!”

"Ah, so close!"

The spectators were just as nervous and couldn't help but exclaim at every critical moment. They had clearly witnessed Suishen Yao’s fighting spirit and courage. At that moment, the Little Demon Lord had displayed a fortitude that could rival any man, changing their views of her so they saw her for who she truly was.

However, there were some things in this world that couldn’t be achieved by effort, courage, or risking everything. At the same cultivation level, the overflowing resentment gave the specter the upper hand.

Of course, Yumo Xue was also giving it his all.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
