Rank Eight Mutation Immortal Gu
The huge lion pouncing at Dancer Hong Yun is a green claw ghost winged lion, an immemorial desolate beast that eats souls and, though very rare now, was very common in Spectral Soul Demon Venerable’s era. Because it countered soul path, it was a huge hurdle for Spectral Soul in his youth. He later killed such lions and excavated their innate talent, and once he reached rank eight he often captured them to create the unprecedented soul devouring method. The lion is very famous, and Dancer Hong Yun is shocked when it appears. Thousand Transformations’ will has only one rank eight Immortal Gu and much immortal essence, with no investigative methods of its own. ch. 1413
Thousand Transformations’ will judges the lion’s thin ghost wings a sign it is weak and not in good condition, so Dancer Hong Yun pulls clear on dancing red cloud while he channels immortal essence into his rank eight mutation Immortal Gu. A mystical wave turns the lion’s tail into a venomous python. Ghost crying tree buds grow from its fur, and the lion smashes the buds and the python’s head, leaving the coiled python thoroughly dead. Smashing them damages the lion itself, since the mutations share its own origin. Dancer Hong Yun names the power Thousand Transformations’ signature Immortal Gu, Mutation, while the will calls it strange that a beast with deep injuries and only ancient desolate strength should lack food here, yet he keeps attacking. The Gu mutates the lion’s right eye into a venomous bee that stings its brain, then its claws and teeth into ancient desolate plants. The lion tries to flee, but she pursues it until it crashes into the desert and dies. ch. 1413
Thousand Transformations’ will withdraws and tells her to clean the battlefield. Dancer Hong Yun calls the corpse an immemorial desolate beast’s remains, rank eight immortal materials rare even in treasure yellow heaven and able to refine rank eight Immortal Gu. Dissecting it is difficult for a rank seven expert, and after much effort she manages only half. Tearing open its stomach, she unexpectedly finds Han Li, fainted and barely alive because this lion devoured souls and his physical body endured, where a normal immemorial desolate beast would have left meat paste. Curious, she soul searches him, learns his luck is really good, and is stunned to find he is holding Zhen Yuan Zi’s formation path true inheritance. ch. 1413
