Chapter 672: Chapter 500 Little Tricks_1

"So it’s you who dare challenge my lord? A bunch of trash trying to hide their tails!"

It wasn’t the Demigod who had arrived, but his servant, seemingly a Divinity creature as well, though not quite at the level of a Demigod. In Zheng Yichen’s eyes, the opponent’s heat signature was not weak, but under his extraordinary mental perception, this person seemed to be seriously ill.

His mental state was abnormally agitated... Could it be due to soul corruption?

With this thought, Zheng Yichen released his ice crystal Heroic Spirit. Its unique form caused Fire Dragon Klakauska to reveal a surprised expression, "You mentioned before that you summoned something remarkable through a summoning ritual, is this what you meant?"

Heroic Spirits summoned through rituals could be of any sort, and Klakauska, having been around for a long time, was merely surprised by Zheng Yichen’s crystalline spirit. But in a world where myriad forms of magic existed, such oddities were nothing out of the ordinary for him.

More importantly, this ice crystal Heroic Spirit had a faint trace of divinity, appearing to be another creature of divinity.

"Is that supposed to impress me? It’s like a mere hand of the Great Evil God."

The Fire Dragon smacked its lips, "I’ve never seen that thing before, and even in the recordings, I can’t sense how powerful that guy is."

"Are you... provoking me?" The Demigod’s servant, having been ignored, spoke in a chilling and deep tone. Judging by his stature, he was most likely a warrior.

To this servant of the Demigod, Zheng Yichen showed no sign of magical fluctuations and thus must be a warrior, and the dragon—while not a rarity in this world—wasn’t anything special either. Klakauska did not seem particularly strong among the dragons he had killed.

But after Zheng Yichen summoned an unusual ’energy creature,’ his impression began to shift. Could this be a summoner?

Regardless, as they engaged in casual conversation and continued to ignore him, he realized it was time for this man and dragon to die!

After all, their fate had been sealed during Klakauska’s challenge, but now he wouldn’t mind making their deaths even more miserable.

Today, he would drink Dragon Blood and feast on dragon flesh!

"That guy is gnashing his teeth," the Fire Dragon whispered to Zheng Yichen, "those whose souls are corrupted are usually seriously ill. Can you handle him? Otherwise, I think he wants to eat me."

"Of course, I can. I’ve found that I don’t even need to take action against him myself. But people still eat dragon meat? Didn’t you say it’s looked down upon for intelligent beings to cannibalize each other?" Zheng Yichen whispered back, reaching out to touch the ice crystal Heroic Spirit beside him. The rotating ice crystal Heroic Spirit stopped as he touched it.

It accepted Zheng Yichen’s influence over soul control unreservedly. He did not use the dominating aspect, merely maintaining the effect of mutual feedback, which augmented the Heroic Spirit’s power.

"That is true, but it depends on the situation," whispered the Fire Dragon, explaining the issues with Dragon Blood. Bathing in dragon blood could indeed bring enhancement but was not something the average person could handle; how could a normal human bathe in Dragon Blood and escape fate? It’s likely those dragons allowed it on purpose. Most who bathed in Dragon Blood died, and Fire Dragon’s blood was hotter than boiling water and full of fire elements; a mere human bathes in it? A Dragon Blood Bath is for those who are too strong to need it or too weak to withstand it.

"You... you really deserve to die!!"

The Demigod’s neglected servant finally burst out in anger, swinging the weapon in his hand. It was a giant sword with an uncomfortable pattern on its surface and a filthy power on the blade. However, before his attack could land, the ice crystal Heroic Spirit unleashed a ring of ice.

Fire Dragon Klakauska shuddered, staring at his hands in astonishment and confusion. He touched his head, feeling an extraordinary state of mind... it was as if his mental state had been ’frozen’ at its current level, yet he did not feel any discomfort or distress, just a bit cold.

Meanwhile, the Demigod’s servant who had attacked was now frozen into a block of ice, which made the Fire Dragon’s expression even more peculiar, "Such a special attack, and hardly any element fluctuations?"

With no elemental fluctuations, a servant of the Demigod, a creature of divinity, was frozen solid, and by the look of it, he was unable to break out of this ’freeze’ any time soon. As his rage intensified, the freezing seemed to deepen.

"Impressive, huh?" Zheng Yichen approached the Demigod’s servant, raising his fishing rod and stabbing it directly into the ice block. The servant’s face contorted in agony.

As Zheng Yichen drew blood, he made another attempt, frowning slightly. During the process, he utilized his own soul control and the fishing rod’s Soul Subduing reversal. Both reversed soul control and reversed Soul Subduing were ineffective, indicating that after the soul was corrupted, it was not considered forcibly dominated or suppressed.

Through his perception, Zheng Yichen could confirm that this change was of a structural nature, akin to genetic modification, whereas Soul Release and Soul Control were intended for individuals who were intact but imprisoned or fitted with restraining control devices.

For those whose soul nature had been altered like this, they were no longer affected by the former two processes. Additionally, souls corrupted in such a way were filled with an aura that made Zheng Yichen feel somewhat nauseous; he had little desire to gather this being’s soul into the Soul-Subduing space.

Then just annihilate it completely.

Crack——

The ice in front of Zheng Yichen completely shattered, and the Demigod minion encased within turned to dust along with the breaking ice. Zheng Yichen shook the black spear in his hand, "Next!"

"Tsk tsk, a Divinity creature, ah. It would have taken me a long time to deal with it, but you managed to win so easily. Attribute suppression is really powerful," the Fire Dragon spoke with some emotion; that was his assessment.

The kind of peculiar Spiritual Freeze exerted by the ice crystal Heroic Spirit obviously restrained the Demigod minion, or rather, it countered souls that had been corrupted and were weak in certain resistances.

"Are you sure you can beat him?"

"Uh, with some cost I should be able to, yes. It’s true that its Divinity is strong, but that doesn’t mean that beings without Divinity can’t defeat Divinity creatures," Klakauska retorted softly. Anyway, that guy was already killed by Zheng Yichen, so he could say whatever he wanted.

Zheng Yichen then looked in the direction of the city: "This should prove our strength, right? How come our main challenger still hasn’t appeared?"

"Well, it might take a little longer," Klakauska said hesitantly. This place was a Demigod’s territory; under normal circumstances, after all that had happened, the opponent should have shown up by now. He rubbed his chin, and after realizing something, his expression turned to one of shock.

"I suspect that guy plans to corrupt us!!"

"Small fry tactics." Zheng Yichen glanced at Klakauska. The ring of ice that had erupted just now wasn’t merely for show, was it? How could they be easily corrupted?

The force of corruption acted on the mind and soul. He could disregard the power of corruption, and Fire Dragon had already been affected by the Constant Freeze of the ice crystal Heroic Spirit, effectively wearing a layer of protection; the corrupting forces wouldn’t easily take effect.

"Then I’ll just provoke them a bit more," said the Fire Dragon after waiting for ten minutes, as he brought out a new scale. At first, it was a challenge, but repeating the same action now crossed over into provocation.

This act of provocation was rather successful. The Demigod might not care about the attitudes of the people in his domain, but the Demigods also had their own circles and required respect.

Two minutes later, another figure arrived at the location, followed by the opponent’s ’followers.’

Seeing this, the Fire Dragon sneered, "How shameful..."

A Demigod bringing his minions along while accepting a challenge could only mean the difference between Demigods was as vast as that between humans and dogs. Nevertheless, such caution was probably a major reason why this one had managed to survive until now.

The Fire Dragon seemed to understand; during this period, the opponent might have been waiting for the power of corruption to take effect, or possibly taking the opportunity to investigate whether there were any ambushes in the surrounding environment.

"Considering it’s from the Dragon Tribe, I naturally have to be more cautious," the arriving Demigod said with a smile, unfazed by the Fire Dragon’s provocations. As long as he emerged as the final victor, everything happening now would be as if it never occurred.

Unlike his attitude towards the Fire Dragon, the Demigod looked at Zheng Yichen with an unusual gaze, pausing on the ice crystal Heroic Spirit beside him. As a Demigod, he recognized the essence of the ice crystal Heroic Spirit.

A product of the summoning ritual, he was familiar with the summoning rituals performed by summoners; it was almost like drawing cards, where most would fail, while only the lucky few or gifted summoners could make their summons unique.

Without a doubt, this ice crystal Heroic Spirit was distinctive. Not only did it possess very special abilities, but what was even more rare was its Divinity. Some non-Divinity creatures who wished to acquire Divinity could either seize it from another Divinity creature and transform it to their own use.

Alternatively, they could become strong enough to directly break through to the Demigod level. Naturally, Divine creatures were usually the offspring of a Demigod and another being, with the strength of their bloodline not enabling the offspring to reach the level of a Demigod, yet still possessing Divinity.

Such beings among humans were considered one in ten thousand talents, with extraordinarily rapid cultivation progress due to their advantageous foundations, making their breakthrough to Demigod status even more straightforward.

However, none of these scenarios seemed to apply to this summon. The Demigod doubted anyone would be so generous as to leave seized Divinity with a summon instead of using it themselves, given the precious nature of Divinity. Even retaining half of it after a heist would indicate skillful ability, as retaining even one-tenth could be difficult if it didn’t match the victor’s nature.

This summon was most likely a naturally Divine creature...
