King of Creation Chapter 1749 - 1734: The Flaw of the Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl
Previously on King of Creation...
Ye Zhen’s divine sense probed into the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, and an unexpected coolness permeated his Spirit Palace. This phenomenon was entirely new to Ye Zhen, sparking his surprise.
Upon careful examination, Ye Zhen discerned that the sensation was the very essence of wind! With the assistance of the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, the elusive winds from all directions in the heavens unexpectedly resonated with Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Waves.
It synchronized with Ye Zhen’s breathing rhythm, much like breathing itself. As Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power exhaled and inhaled, the invisible wind surrounding him mirrored this cycle.
In mere moments, the omnipresent Wind Spirit Power felt as though it had become an intrinsic part of Ye Zhen’s being. He sensed that with a mere thought, the winds around him would surge and move according to his command.
"Could this be the innate divine ability of the Ancient Fierce Beast, Strong Wind?"
As Ye Zhen meticulously investigated, wind element Dao Marks, brimming with countless mysteries, flickered before his eyes. These marks encapsulated the very essence and mastery of wind power held by the Ancient Fierce Beast.
Under normal circumstances, even if these precious wind element Dao Marks and the Power of Laws were presented to Ye Zhen, he would be utterly incapable of comprehending even a fraction, no matter his efforts. It was akin to encountering an alien language, utterly incomprehensible upon first glance.
However, within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl functioned as a proficient translator between two disparate languages, elucidating Ye Zhen’s complex thoughts with flawless accuracy. The experience was comparable to receiving perfect, standard answers during an examination.
While Ye Zhen might not have fully grasped the underlying principles, he could utilize the power, a fact that proved remarkably advantageous! It felt almost like a cheat code; when Ye Zhen’s divine sense submerged into the Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, he could instantly wield Feng Kui’s inherited bloodline power and his lifetime’s accumulated experience with Wind Spirit Power.
Ye Zhen momentarily envisioned himself soaring effortlessly within this omnipresent Wind Spirit Power. Yet, in the following instant, his expression shifted to one of peculiar discomfort.
How might one describe the sensation of being provided with only half of the standard answers on an exam? What feeling accompanies being interrupted at the peak of enjoyment and excitement?
Consider the feeling of enduring a prolonged period of restraint, finally anticipating release, only to be abruptly halted.
Whatever the degree of discomfort associated with those scenarios, Ye Zhen was experiencing a similar level of unease at that moment. It was truly an unpleasant sensation.
Nevertheless, Ye Zhen could only offer a wry smile, attributing this discomfort to the inherent incompleteness of the Strong Wind Soul Essence Pearl.
As for why an incomplete Soul Essence Pearl resulted from slaying Feng Kui, who had advanced to become the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind, Ye Zhen could only speculate on several possibilities.
Firstly, it was conceivable that the Great Saint of the Tempest, Feng Kui, had not achieved full evolution into the complete Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind by the time Ye Zhen and the others defeated him.
Secondly, perhaps Feng Kui’s downfall was not solely due to Ye Zhen’s efforts but the combined assault of over ten formidable experts, with Ye Zhen merely delivering the final, decisive blow.
Furthermore, it was plausible that due to the significant portion of Feng Kui’s internal organs being consumed by Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and the Nine-Headed Beast, the Mirage Dragon Pearl absorbed diminished power.
Ye Zhen surmised that these factors might have all contributed to the current state.
However, given the opportunity again, Ye Zhen affirmed he would orchestrate the same battle scenario, enabling the kitten and the Nine-Headed Beast to inflict critical internal wounds upon Feng Kui.
After all, under those specific circumstances, Feng Kui’s power was continuously escalating and regenerating owing to his bloodline; prolonging the confrontation without creating a fatal opening could very well have led to the demise of Ye Zhen and his companions.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, Ye Zhen dismissed the unsettling feeling provoked by the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl and once again focused his divine sense into it.
Ye Zhen was eager to ascertain the tangible benefits this incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl conferred upon him.
With a subtle manipulation of his divine sense, following the myriad of mysterious impulses emanating from the Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, he channeled his divine sense and, in an instant, his physical form shifted.
In that fleeting moment, Ye Zhen perceived only the whistling of the wind enveloping him, and his movement felt exponentially lighter than any previous flight. It was as if he had exerted virtually no effort to achieve such swiftness.
Turning his gaze, he observed Ling Qianbi at the edge of his perception, her expression fixed upon him with utter disbelief.
"Uh, what is it?"
"Master... Master, your speed just now?" Ling Qianbi’s voice carried a distinct tremor.
Ye Zhen, genuinely puzzled, inquired, "Did my speed seem particularly fast just now?" He himself had perceived no extraordinary sensation.
Ling Qianbi was left utterly speechless by his response, finding herself at a complete loss for words.
At this moment, the voice of the Great Saint of Jinghai, who was the least injured among the Sky Wing Three Saints, sounded, "Fast? It’s beyond fast! Your speed just now couldn’t be described merely as quick.
It’s like instant.
No, it’s even faster than instant.
It seemed like in the blink of an eye, in an instant, you appeared there. My eye power couldn’t even catch your movement."
"Big brother’s eye power couldn’t catch it?"
This shocked even Ye Zhen.
"Yes, Master, it was just like the previous Great Saint of the Tempest Feng Kui; it seems you swept past and appeared there without clarity on your actions."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart was overjoyed.
It seemed he obtained the speed talent of the Strong Wind from the incomplete Soul Essence Pearl, which was expected as it’s the core innate divine ability of the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind.
However, the extent of the speed talent acquired from Strong Wind needed thorough testing by Ye Zhen.
Subsequently, Ye Zhen compared speed with the Great Saint of Jinghai, Ling Qianbi, and Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to make accurate judgments.
After only a few tests, Ye Zhen’s face showed uncontrollable joy.
Fast!
Truly extraordinarily fast!
When harnessing the power of the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, Ye Zhen’s speed was dozens of times faster than before.
Within a distance of ten miles, Ye Zhen could cover it ten times back and forth while Ling Qianbi, who had breakthrough cultivation at the Realm King Realm, could only make one round trip; Great Saint of Jinghai couldn’t even complete one.
Moreover, Ye Zhen had just begun utilizing the power of the Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl, without fully exerting it. It’s believed that with more practice and full exertion, Ye Zhen’s speed would be even faster.
What’s more exhilarating for Ye Zhen was that during the third attempt, his initial speed surpassed that of the kitten flying at full effort by half a notch.
This thrilled Ye Zhen immensely.
As the kitten’s current speed is quicker than most Dao Realm Experts.
Yet Ye Zhen was faster than the kitten!
In the martial arts world, it’s often said that nothing can overcome speed.
Though not absolute against powerful beings with innate divine abilities, Ye Zhen’s group previously was helpless against Feng Kui chasing them. They relied on the kitten for escape, simply because Feng Kui’s speed was too fast.
Now, Ye Zhen’s speed was twice as fast as the kitten’s full flight speed.
Based on Ye Zhen’s combat experience, using the power of the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl skillfully could exponentially enhance Ye Zhen’s combat power.
Moreover, this speed would gradually increase with Ye Zhen’s cultivation, rendering its value immeasurable.
Ye Zhen tested it, and if the kitten didn’t use its Void-Breaking innate divine ability to teleport thousands of miles instantly, it wouldn’t catch up with Ye Zhen.
However, subsequently, Ye Zhen realized this certainty was only within a limited range.
Through multiple speed comparisons between Ye Zhen and Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen suddenly discovered the true flaw of the incomplete Strong Wind Spirit Essence Pearl!
It remains a flaw that cannot be compensated!
