Ch 98: Successfully Cleared
The Void Shadow Beast, seeing this, suddenly closed its eyes slightly, and the space around its body began to twist violently.
Chu Qiu and Diting immediately felt a powerful attraction coming from all directions.
Chu Qiu immediately used “Taiji Step: Thousand Mile Teleport,” instantly moving dozens of meters away, with Diting closely following behind, escaping the range of the spatial distortion.
However, the Void Shadow Beast seemed to have anticipated their actions, and with a flash, it reappeared in front of them.
Chu Qiu realized that the Void Shadow Beast’s Space-Time Shuttle skill had reached an extremely high level, and he had to find a way to break the deadlock, otherwise they would be exhausted to death.
Just then, Diting suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its body began to gradually expand, a powerful Dragon Soul Power surging within it.
Its fur began to grow longer and harder, like sharp steel needles, and its eyes became as hot as flames.
In Chu Qiu’s perception, Diting’s strength and speed were rapidly increasing.
At that moment, Diting suddenly leaped forward, rushing towards the Void Shadow Beast like a bolt of black lightning.
Its claws, like sharp blades, tore through the Void Shadow Beast’s scales, and blood spurted out.
The Void Shadow Beast let out a shrill roar, clearly not expecting that Diting, which had been at a disadvantage, would suddenly explode with such powerful strength.
Its body gradually became transparent, merging with the surrounding space, and Chu Qiu and Diting immediately lost track of it.
Chu Qiu’s heart tightened, and he immediately activated the “Samsara Eye: Insight into the Future” skill, his eyes becoming as mysterious as a deep universe.
In his perception, a transparent figure was quietly approaching them.
“Bang!”
Diting suddenly turned around and swung a claw at the transparent figure. With a loud bang, the Void Shadow Beast’s figure reappeared.
However, the Void Shadow Beast, whose body trembled slightly from Diting’s attack, waved its claws, and a spatial rift rapidly expanded in front of it.
Then, it suddenly burst open, and countless sharp spatial fragments shot towards Chu Qiu and Diting like arrows.
“Ding ding dang dang!”
Chu Qiu immediately activated the “Netherworld Shield” skill, and a layer of dark shield instantly appeared around him and Diting. The spatial fragments collided with the shield, making a crisp sound.
The attack power of these spatial fragments was extremely strong. Even with the protection of the Netherworld Shield, Chu Qiu and Diting felt bursts of vibration.
The Void Shadow Beast flashed in front of Chu Qiu and slammed a palm heavily on the Netherworld Shield.
Chu Qiu felt his Soul Power rapidly decreasing, and the Netherworld Shield made an ear-piercing friction sound, with faint cracks appearing.
Chu Qiu knew that the Void Shadow Beast’s skills were truly too abnormal. Relying on Diting alone would not end the battle quickly. After thinking it over, he decided to try a risky move.
He exchanged for two cans of Liquid Bread, gulped them down to restore his Soul Power, and then exchanged for a can of Red Bull and a can of ET beverage, throwing them to Diting.
Diting opened its mouth wide, threw them directly into its mouth and crushed them, and then activated the Dragon Soul Power in its body, transforming into five clones and quickly merging, instantly reaching its maximum combat power.
“Soul Fusion!”
At the same time, Chu Qiu shouted in a low voice. This was the second time he had performed Soul Fusion with Diting since obtaining the “Soul Fusion” skill.
On his body, golden runes emerged, emitting a dazzling light, then floated up and instantly poured into Diting’s body.
As the golden runes continued to pour in, Diting’s body gradually grew larger, eventually transforming into a huge beast shadow, enveloping Chu Qiu within it.
The beast shadow then dissipated, and Chu Qiu’s body exuded a powerful aura. He waved his hand, feeling as if he could break mountains and rivers with a single punch.
Feeling the surging Dragon Soul Power within Diting’s body, he shouted at the Void Shadow Beast, which was attacking the Netherworld Shield, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in blazing Netherworld Flames.
Accompanied by the roar, the sound waves erupted along with the flames, forming an unstoppable storm that swept towards the Void Shadow Beast.
Under the shock, a trace of chaos flashed in the Void Shadow Beast’s eyes.
At the same time, in the center of the storm, a giant fist formed from Netherworld Flames rapidly advanced, directly bombarding its chest.
This punch contained the full power of both Chu Qiu and Diting, tearing through its defenses and directly penetrating its body.
With a loud “boom,” the Void Shadow Beast’s massive body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string under this punch, heavily crashing into the wall of the palace.
Its body began to gradually shrink, every inch of skin, every hair, rapidly contracting.
Eventually, it transformed into a wisp of ethereal light, gently falling on the dusty ground.
Chu Qiu quickly stepped forward, carefully picked up the ball of light, and carefully examined it using the “Soul Insight” skill.
However, all that appeared before his eyes was a row of flashing question marks. He shook his head helplessly and finally put it into his Storage Space.
At the same time, the task completion notification sounded in his ears. Chu Qiu felt a surge of energy in his body, like a rushing river, and then slowly returned to calm.
He closed his eyes, feeling the surge of power within his body, knowing that he had successfully advanced to Gold Second Order, greatly increasing his strength.
Chu Qiu couldn’t wait to open the “Book of Life and Death” and carefully check Diting’s information. When he saw that Diting had also successfully advanced to Gold First Order, a burst of joy surged in his heart.
What surprised him even more was that Diting had unlocked a new skill โ ใSoul Absorptionใ.
ใSoul Absorptionใ: Draw power from the souls of enemies for your own use, making Diting stronger and stronger in battle.
Looking at the description above, he seemed to see the existence of a perpetual motion machine.
However, this joy was quickly shrouded in a trace of weirdness. Although the task completion had been prompted, Chu Qiu searched the entire Storage Space but still did not find the Contracted Beast.
Just then, a strong tremor came from the depths of the palace. Chu Qiu looked up and saw a dazzling light in front of him gradually expanding.
Through the light, he vaguely saw the broken light gate in the distance.
Vaguely, he could already see Fang Tian Ce and Fan Debiao’s anxious faces, waiting anxiously outside the light gate.
What made his eyes light up even more was that the figures of Xia Mo and Sister Xiao Ya also seemed to appear faintly behind the two of them. Their figures looked particularly soft and beautiful in the light.
Chu Qiu touched the peace charm on his chest, and a burst of pride and warmth surged in his heart. He quickly summoned Diting back to the Contract Space and lifted his leg to walk towards the light gate.
Back in the space, Diting quickly picked up the Intelligence Testing Device and began to fiddle with it, its eyes fixed on the Soul Orb inside, drooling.
It tried various methods to open the testing device, but it couldn’t find a way, so it could only shake its huge fist helplessly and put it down again.
Finally, it put the Intelligence Testing Device back in its place, sighed, and lay down into a deep sleep.
