Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 573 The Two-Headed Bone Giant of the Earthhound Clan [Please Subscribe]

In the eerie, dark underground city littered with corpses, Zhou Chun felt as if he had entered a land of death.

Based on the known intelligence, the alien race in this underground ancient city should be the "Earthhound Clan," a semi-humanoid race with canine teeth and tails, who were exterminated by humans and were skilled in earth-attribute magic and supernatural powers.

The "Earth Dog Tribe" prefers to live in caves and underground caverns. They have large, strong joints and are relatively short in stature.

Their race is said to have an extremely strong ability to find minerals, and they like to mine minerals to create various magical artifacts and treasures. They are also very skilled in carving and mountain architecture.

As Zhou Chun walks through the underground ancient city, he can see many carvings left by the "Earth Dog Clan".

For example, there is a giant statue sculpted in the shape of the "Earthhound Tribe" in a circle. It is the image of a warrior holding a large axe, with a large mouth full of interlocking canine teeth, which makes a deep impression on people at first glance!

On other walls or stone pillars, you can also see reliefs of various animals and snakes, which are still very exquisite despite the passage of time.

Of course, at this time, the city was filled with corpses, the corpses of the "Earthhound Clan".

Corpses were scattered everywhere—on the streets, inside houses, and even in cellars.

Besides the remains of these "Earthhound Clan" members, there are also many other animal remains in the city, including some enormous monster remains.

Most of these corpses appeared to have intact skeletons with no breaks, suggesting they were not killed with a sharp weapon.

Zhou Chun didn't pay much attention to these corpses from who-knows-how-many years ago. Soon, he arrived at the depths of this underground ancient city with his spirit pet.

This place was originally a temple or something similar, but now it is in ruins.

The surrounding corpses were mostly incomplete and significantly different from the other corpses outside.

Crucially, Zhou Chun also discovered some human remains here.

Some of these humans only had a few parts left, such as hard skulls, but one human skeleton was relatively well preserved, and even now the bones still emit a faint glow!

The jade-like bones gleamed, a characteristic unique to the remains of Nascent Soul stage cultivators!

When Zhou Chun saw this scene, he was also startled.

But what exactly caused a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to perish here?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his expression suddenly changed.

wrong!

Since a Nascent Soul cultivator perished here, and a broken top-grade magic weapon was found nearby, why are the Nascent Soul cultivator's storage bag and other belongings not found at the scene?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun quickly spread his divine sense, trying to find more clues.

But at that moment, a surge of black, malevolent energy suddenly burst forth from the ruins of the temple and swept rapidly toward them and their servants.

Seeing this, before Zhou Chun could react, the two guardian spirit pets on his left and right had already quickly taken action.

Suddenly, the Fiery Phoenix raised its head and let out a clear cry. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of seven-colored flames to meet the raging Yin energy tide, directly creating a fire defense line in front of it.

Lei Jiao Bai Bai let out a dragon's roar and spat out a huge silver lightning ball that blasted towards the Yin Sha Frenzy.

Rumble!

After the extremely powerful and yang [Heavenly Divine Thunder] exploded within the Yin Sha frenzy, the blazing lightning instantly cleansed all evil and swept away all ghosts, directly extinguishing the overwhelming waves of Yin Sha frenzy.

However, the good fortune did not last long. As the continuous stream of Yin energy continued to surge in, the remaining power of thunder was quickly submerged and annihilated.

Immediately afterwards, even the fire defense line set up by the Flame Phoenix with the [Glazed Pure Fire] quickly collapsed under the impact of the Yin Sha frenzy!

Ultimately, the [Liuli Pure Fire] is not the [Nanming Li Fire] and has no special function of refining demons and eliminating evil.

However, Zhou Chun had already realized what was happening.

He immediately unleashed the fourth level of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," transforming himself into a body covered in silver-scaled dragon armor.

In this state, his body is also filled with lightning power, making him even more resistant to yin energy.

He then leaped onto the back of the Thunder Dragon, transforming into a dragon knight.

Seeing that there was no need to protect Zhou Chun anymore, the Fiery Phoenix quickly flapped its wings, and seven-colored pure fire instantly ignited on its body, transforming into a true Fiery Phoenix.

"Don't rush into action. Let's see what's causing this trouble!"

Through telepathic communication, Zhou Chun first calmed down the Flaming Phoenix, who was eager to rush into the Yin Sha frenzy to explore, and decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

As endless Yin energy surged out, the entire underground ancient city instantly seemed to transform into a hellish underworld—gloomy, cold, and terrifying!

Click, click!

Suddenly, one after another, the sound of bones grinding together rang out from all over the city, echoing throughout the entire underground ancient city.

Then a chilling scene unfolded.

Under the infusion of Yin energy, all the corpses in the city came back to life!

These corpses, awakened and driven by an unknown force, soon surged towards Master Zhou Chun from all directions like an army of the dead.

And on their way here, they continuously absorbed Yin energy to strengthen themselves.

A member of the "Earth Dog Clan" whose original aura was not even as strong as a cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining stage was strengthened by Yin Sha Qi to the point that it was comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage in just a few dozen breaths!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression changed.

The number of "Earthhound Clan" corpses in this city is well over ten thousand!

If each of these corpses truly possessed the strength of the Foundation Establishment or even the Purple Mansion stage, let alone him, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would probably feel a chill run down their spine.

"Fire Phoenix, go and deal with those undead. Burn them all to ashes!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he released the Wood Spirit and Wood Mulberry again, allowing them to use the [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldier] divine power to cleanse the undead.

Upon receiving the order, the Fiery Phoenix let out a clear cry and immediately swooped down towards the densely packed army of undead.

Like a grim reaper spreading natural disasters, wherever it passed, flames rained down, burning the corpses of those who had been resurrected to ashes!

To conserve mana, after burning away the undead in an area, the Fiery Phoenix will return and retract the still-burning flames from the ground into its body.

On the other side, Mu Mei Mu Sang also released his nine Dao soldiers in one go, driving them to transform into "Bone Crushers" and smashing the charging undead corpses into fragments.

Thanks to the two spirit pets' hard work, most of the undead corpses that surged up were burned and shattered before they could even attack Zhou Chun.

If this continues, even if all the undead corpses are exhausted, it will only deplete the magic power of Zhou Chun's two spirit pets.

This clearly did not satisfy the spy in the shadows!

So it quickly revealed its true killing move.

A white shadow flashed in the sky, and a white figure quickly approached Zhou Chun.

The Mountain Shield beside him activated instantly, bursting forth with a dazzling yellow light and blocking the white figure.

Then a loud bang was heard, and the magic shield, as heavy as a mountain, was blasted away!

Fortunately, Lei Jiao Bai Bai reacted in time and unleashed a bolt of silver lightning that struck the white figure.

The exorcising lightning seemed to have a restraining effect on the white shadow, instantly freezing it in mid-air and revealing its true form.

What they saw was none other than the radiant remains of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that the Nascent Soul corpse was paralyzed and stiffened by the lightning, Zhou Chun unleashed the [Taibai Dragon-Slaying Sword], which slashed fiercely at the corpse.

To his utter astonishment, this sword strike, capable of cleaving even the body of a dragon, failed to shatter the Nascent Soul corpse; it merely severed some unimportant ribs!

Is it because it was tempered by Yin energy?

Zhou Chun quickly figured out why the Nascent Soul corpse was so hard.

Otherwise, let alone a mere Nascent Soul corpse, even a true Nascent Soul cultivator would be unable to escape being cut in two by a single sword strike without using defensive divine abilities!

After being cleaved away by his sword, the Nascent Soul corpse finally expelled the lightning power from its body and resumed its normal function.

With a swift movement, it retreated into the temple ruins, where the aura of yin energy was dense, and did not launch another attack.

But Zhou Chun instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, his feeling soon became reality!

Suddenly, a series of "crackling" sounds came from the temple ruins, which were filled with yin energy, and then a two-headed skeletal giant emerged from them!

This two-headed skeletal giant has two skulls with different shapes. One is the skull of the Nascent Soul corpse that just disappeared, and the other is the skull of a member of the "Earth Dog Clan". Its skeletal body, which is more than ten feet tall, is also a combination of the bones from the Nascent Soul corpse, the bones of the "Earth Dog Clan", and the bones of demonic beasts.

This bizarre and incongruous two-headed skeletal giant exudes an aura of the highest rank, equivalent to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

Even in terms of sheer magical power, it was more powerful than any late-stage Golden Core cultivator Zhou Chun had ever seen.

However, Zhou Chun was still full of doubts about what kind of existence this was.

He immediately looked at the two-headed skeletal giant and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a name?"

"Pasitas...Pasitas..."

A dark, eerie flame suddenly erupted from the head of one of the Earthhound Clan members, accompanied by a deafening roar.

But just as Zhou Chun thought this was its name, the nascent soul's head also flickered with a ghostly green flame and let out a low roar.

"I am Li Xuangang, the Mysterious Fiend True Man..."

What's going on here? Two souls in one body?

Zhou Chun looked at the two-headed skeletal giant with surprise, also very astonished by its condition.

Before he could ask any further questions, the two-headed skeletal giant roared and attacked him.

He casually ripped a rib from his chest, which quickly transformed into a bone spear, which he hurled at Zhou Chun.

In an instant, Zhou Chun sensed a deadly danger from the bone spear. He hurriedly activated the defensive divine power attached to the Mountain Shield, directly using the shield as a fulcrum to transform into an earthen-yellow mountain in front of him.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the earthen-yellow mountain in front of Zhou Chun was blasted apart by the bone spear, and the [Mountain Shield] itself was also sent flying.

But the bone spear only exhausted its power and flew back to the two-headed bone giant, transforming back into a rib and returning to its original position.

Meanwhile, the two-headed skeletal giant detached two more ribs, transforming them into two bone spears which it hurled at Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he hurriedly had Lei Jiao use his Thunder Escape Technique to dodge the attack.

However, the bone spear was not magic. After missing its target, it quickly changed direction and shot towards Zhou Chun again under the control of the two-headed bone giant, showing a determination to fight to the death!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to go all out.

He unleashed the Taibai Dragon-Slaying Sword, directly unleashing a burst of "Taibai Tianxin Sword Qi" nurtured within the sword.

A streak of silver-white sword energy flashed through the air and struck a bone spear that was being shot at. Upon impact, the power contained in the bone spear was immediately consumed by the sword energy, and then it was cleaved back to its original form by the silver-black flying sword that followed in the fierce battle.

At the same time, Zhou Chun's natal magic weapon, the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], also erupted with sword energy. A golden sword energy flashed and struck another bone spear, knocking it back to its original form and returning it to the two-headed white bone giant.

How could Lei Jiao Bai Bai watch its master fight alone? It immediately unleashed the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] divine power once more, spitting out a huge silver thunderball that blasted towards the two-headed white bone giant.

Seemingly sensing danger, the two-headed skeletal giant suddenly roared and howled at the same time, its body surging with Yin energy, which instantly condensed into a jet-black battle armor that it wore, while a jet-black rune shield protected it inside.

Rumble!

The silver lightning ball struck the black rune shield, triggering a violent explosion. The surging silver lightning instantly engulfed the two-headed skeletal giant.

But only a few breaths later, it emerged from the sea of ​​thunder, clad in jet-black armor.

However, before it could launch a counterattack, a seven-colored fireball flew through the air in a parabolic arc and exploded on its body.

This attack seemed to inflict even more damage on the two-headed skeletal giant than the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] that Lei Jiao Bai Bai had just unleashed, causing both of its heads to let out miserable howls and roars.

It turns out that although the [Glazed Pure Fire] does not have the properties of refining demons and slaying evil, it can burn the divine consciousness and soul.

It's hard to say exactly what kind of being this two-headed skeletal giant is, but its soul protection is clearly inferior to that of a cultivator who possesses a physical body and a sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the moment it was touched by the [Glazed Pure Fire], its soul was shaken and its consciousness was dazed.

This discovery also made Zhou Chun's eyes light up, and he immediately assigned tasks to the two spirit pets.

He and Lei Jiao Bai Bai would break through the defenses of the two-headed white bone giant, and then Yan Yu Huo Feng would offer up the ultimate killing fire!

The two-headed skeletal giant, of course, would not sit idly by and wait to die.

It quickly found a way to resist the [Glazed Pure Fire]: it completely wrapped its head in white bones to form a sphere and laid down a thick layer of Yin energy for protection.

In this way, although it cannot completely block the burning of the soul by the [Glazed Pure Fire], it can maximize the reduction of the damage to oneself.

Enraged by Zhou Chun's attack, it quickly launched an even fiercer counterattack.

Suddenly, a black aura burst forth from its body, and the surrounding Yin energy was immediately drawn in, merging into the black aura like moths to a flame. Soon, a giant black Yin python took shape.

This giant, malevolent python was hundreds of feet long, and its body even had solidified, jet-black scales, as if it were alive.

Hiss!

A hissing sound rang out, and the Yin Sha Giant Python immediately rushed towards Lei Jiao Bai Bai and Zhou Chun on its back with a gust of cold wind.

Before it could get close, a bolt of silver lightning struck it.

Although this attack shattered part of its snake body, the dense Yin energy in the area quickly flowed into its body and repaired the missing part.

In a sense, it can now be said to be immortal!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately flew away from Lei Jiao Bai Bai's body, allowing it to unleash its close combat abilities without restraint.

Lightning burst forth in the void, and the white-haired Thunder Flood Dragon, its body crackling with lightning, charged head-on at the giant Yin Sha Python!

Despite the significant size difference between the two, when they clashed, the Thunder Flood Dragon, surrounded by lightning, gained the upper hand, tearing apart and scattering parts of the Yin Sha Giant Python's body with each collision.

However, the opponent's immortality was truly troublesome, as it was always able to take advantage of the terrain to continuously absorb the Yin energy to recover.

Because the place is filled with yin energy and is deep underground, Lei Jiao Bai Bai is unable to draw upon the power of heavenly thunder to strengthen himself, and his magical power is decreasing with each use.

The same situation occurred with the Fiery Phoenix.

It had already expended a lot of its magic power cleaning up the corpses of the dead, and with the magic power it had used to break the formation at the beginning, it now had less than 30% of its magic power left.

On the contrary, Zhou Chun, because he had made fewer moves and had been consuming the [Great Replenishing Yuan Pill] to recover his mana, now had more than half of his mana left, making him the one in the best condition.

"This won't do; we need to finish this quickly!"

Upon receiving the message from the spirit pet, Zhou Chun's expression hardened, and he felt considerable pressure.

He is currently dealing with this two-headed skeletal giant, and his two spirit pets are his biggest helpers. If either of them loses its fighting ability, the battle will collapse directly, and it will even be difficult for him to leave this place in the end!

After weighing the options in his mind, Zhou Chun quickly made a decision.

He swiftly formed hand seals and used the "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique" to merge with the Thunder Flood Dragon, transforming into a human-faced Thunder Flood Dragon.

In this way, Lei Jiao's lack of magical power was completely improved, and he could freely use his lightning magic.

The effect was obvious. In the blink of an eye, through several waves of fierce attacks, the Human-Faced Thunder Dragon quickly and completely dismantled the Yin Sha Giant Python, annihilating the black aura that was supporting its continuous recovery.

The disappearance of this black aura seemed to have dealt a significant blow to the two-headed skeletal giant, as its magical power instantly dropped, though it remained at the late Golden Core stage.

Immediately afterwards, the human-faced thunder dragon swung its tail and pounced directly at the two-headed white bone giant's main body.
