Free Web NovelChapter 744: Chapter 300: Half-Step Saint, Achieved!!_3
Originally, he intended to directly view the other party’s memory, but then he thought again. The enemy’s physical body was still intact and their power was still present. If the opponent resisted desperately while he was peeking, his own soul might suffer backlash.
So!
"I might as well just destroy your physical body. Keeping you alive serves no purpose."
Jiang Shi’s tone was cold.
"No, don’t destroy my body, I am willing to tell you all the secrets..."
The withered elder shouted in horror.
Boom!
Blazing purple demon fire instantly engulfed his body, causing him to let out blood-curdling screams as his entire body rapidly disintegrated. In the blink of an eye, only a red blood pill and a vague soul remained.
Jiang Shi grasped that soul and immediately activated his [Soul Devouring Talent].
In an instant, all sorts of secrets from the elder’s mind began to surface.
To analyze the mysteries of the Saint Origin more thoroughly, he also employed the [True Understanding of the Primordial Soul], hypnotizing the opponent’s soul, forcing it to willingly divulge deeper secrets.
After all, [Soul Devouring Talent] could only reveal recent secrets from the other party’s mind.
Older secrets were utterly unclear.
As information flowed continuously into Jiang Shi’s mind, his brows furrowed deeply in contemplation.
An entire half-day passed.
He finally released the withered elder’s soul, seemingly enlightened, and said, "So that’s how it is, I see..."
He casually tossed the elder’s soul toward Daoist Master Xuan and said, "Watch over him and don’t let him escape. I might need to seclude myself here for a while!"
In his mind, the barrage of information made him vaguely feel like some grand door was opening toward him.
Soon, Jiang Shi took steps out, sitting cross-legged, and began attempting with closed eyes.
Previously, he had viewed the memories of other Half-Saints, but most of the magic techniques he acquired were rather vague.
Moreover, after viewing them, the insights gained weren’t significant.
But now, after viewing the memory of this withered elder, the information clash in his mind brought an unprecedented epiphany.
"Three Elements Converge..."
Jiang Shi remained motionless.
The power surging within him, his soul resonating, and his body emitting ethereal light.
In this state, he seemed to fall into a state of serenity, motionless, continuously intertwining his body, soul, and power.
Not far away.
Daoist Master Xuan sighed inwardly, glancing at the withered elder’s remaining blood pill and soul, and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Wu, why did you have to provoke him? Look where it got you now?"
"I..."
The withered elder’s face was full of bitterness, crying without tears.
Who would have thought that these external experts would be so terrifying now?
Clearly not a Half-Saint, yet he can easily shatter his Saint Origin, leaving him, a Half-Saint, helpless. Had he known earlier, how could he act as he did before?
"Don’t worry, I’ll try to plead with him for your life,"
Daoist Master Xuan sighed softly.
Time passed.
Days went by.
Jiang Shi resembled an ancient stone carving from the moment he sat down, motionless, as various strange and mysterious changes occurred within his body.
Countless pores seemed to have runes appearing.
These runes intertwined and merged, gradually forming a vast and white large serpent, circling around his body.
As the white serpent circled, the scale armor on its surface thickened, its body-like inflation-growing with each round.
A mysterious and eerie power emanated from the white serpent, forming a formidable and terrifying aura that spread all around.
In the distance.
Daoist Master Xuan and the withered elder, who were meditating, suddenly changed their expressions, stood up suddenly, and looked toward Jiang Shi.
"Saint Origin, Half-Step Saint? Jiang Shi... has succeeded?"
Daoist Master Xuan exclaimed.
"How can this be possible, how is this possible?"
The withered elder muttered, shocked beyond belief.
The speed at which he fused with the Saint Origin was far too rapid.
Even with guidance from predecessors, it shouldn’t be this fast.
He recalled how he meditated for ten years before succeeding...
But soon, Daoist Master Xuan and the withered elder’s expressions changed again.
The originally white giant python circling Jiang Shi suddenly broke apart, turning into specks of white light, merging back into his body.
"Failed?"
Daoist Master Xuan was shocked and said, "No, it didn’t fail!"
They saw that after the white serpent shattered, a more massive white dragon appeared on Jiang Shi’s surface, vividly textured, bigger and more magnificent than the previous python.
It had four limbs, horns pointing skyward, its eyes blazing with spirit, scales densely packed, as if a true dragon coiling and roaring over his body, exuding a fearsome authority.
"Celestial Dragon State Saint Origin, how is this possible?"
The withered elder was utterly shocked.
Saint Origins come in various forms.
Most people fused with the white serpent form of Saint Origin.
A rare few emerged as Flood Dragon form.
Only in mythical legends could someone form a Celestial Dragon form.
This young man now possesses Celestial Dragon Origin?
Rumble!
A tremendously terrifying aura enveloped around Jiang Shi, with dark clouds gathering high in the sky, lightning and thunder engulfing, turning it all pitch-black.
Massive tribulation clouds began converging, and rolling thunder struck down toward Jiang Shi.
However, as the lightning struck down, the white dragon coiled around Jiang Shi roared tremendously, opening its huge bloody mouth and inhaling.
Boom!
Endless bolts of lightning rushed toward the dragon’s mouth, even causing the high-altitude thunderclouds to become chaotic, quickly absorbed thoroughly.
The sky resumed clarity and brightness.
The space seemed gnawed by some terrifying beast, leaving gaping voids that didn’t heal easily.
Daoist Master Xuan and the withered elder were instantly astounded.
...
On the high platform.
The pure white dragon, having devoured endless lightning and thunderclouds, slowly retracted inward, gradually disappearing back into Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, finally opened them, a profound and mysterious aura emanating from him.
"Half-Step Saint! Succeeded!"
A divine brilliance appeared in his eyes.
