Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Justice Pendant_1

"Mm-hmm!"

Little Butterfly puffed up her cheeks and nodded, already behind Ling Xiao. She seemed nothing more than a tiny dot, yet when she got serious, there was something incredibly trustworthy about her.

Suddenly, Little Butterfly’s two pairs of wings flickered with dazzling light, and astonishingly, when the giant black pillar reached near her, it instantly shrunk from the size of a thick column to the size of a needlepoint, then crazily surged into the small creature’s wings.

"Hmm!"

The little one nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and gave a stunned Ling Xiao a triumphant gesture.

"My goodness, I never expected that I, the mighty Ling Xiao, would be outdone by a little butterfly, how embarrassing."

No matter what, the little creature’s arrival had indeed shielded Ling Xiao from a great crisis.

"Tired!"

Little Butterfly finally uttered a sound exactly like that of a human, only it was babyish, sounding as if from an infant.

Afterward, she turned into a rainbow light and went back into the Mountain and River World, lying among myriad flowers to sleep.

"Sleep tight, thank you."

By now, any anger Ling Xiao had over the loss of his Martial Soul and the exotic flowers and herbs had completely dissipated.

Little Butterfly had shielded him from that strike, effectively preserving his qualification to continue the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

This meant he might have the chance to obtain greater fortunes. Compared to such grand opportunities, what did those losses really amount to?

Right then, he had taken advantage of the opportunity Little Butterfly’s protection provided, arriving at the only clearing in the valley.

"Indeed, I was not mistaken, this place seems odd, the creature dares not come near!"

Ling Xiao stood in that clearing, watching the creature furiously bellow within the black magma. The magma was incessantly slapped and sent flying but never dared approach the clearing.

It seemed this was the so-called lifeline.

The difficulty inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda was still relatively low, since after all, it was just a trial, and the Moon Blossom Fairy wouldn’t really let her successors be killed or eliminated too quickly. Hence, when designing these secret lands, she always left a sliver of hope.

Whether one could reach this lifeline depended on the trial takers’ abilities.

At the very least, Ling Xiao had almost been eliminated by that creature.

Now closely analyzing the creature, Ling Xiao had also ascertained the precise level of its power.

No wonder it was pummeling him; this creature was even more formidable than the guardian of the third challenge, having reached the second phase of the Heavenly Man Realm—the Taiji Heaven Realm.

The Heavenly Man Realm is not like the Transcendent Realm. The Heavenly Man Realm has ten levels, and each one represents a huge transformation.

Each level also has its own unique change.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Man Realm, the Nine Martial Meridians merge into one, forming the "Heavenly Pulse". The ten levels from the first to the tenth are:

First Line of Heaven—Taiji Heaven—Trinity Heaven—Four Symbols Heavenly Realm—Wu Xing Tian—Six Arts Realm—Seven Star Sky Realm—Eight Trigrams Heaven—Nine Heavy Heaven—Ten Directions Heaven.

Of course, for ease of understanding amongst martial artists, it was still typical to describe or translate texts, even teach, according to the tenfold Heavenly Man Realm.

The guardian of the previous third challenge belonged to the first level of the Heavenly Man Realm, also a First Line of Heaven expert.

A First Line of Heaven expert, with the Nine Martial Meridians just merged, possesses a tiny, singular Heavenly Pulse but can contain a total amount of True Essence far exceeding that of Transcendent Realm Martial Artists.

The creature before him was an expert of the second level of the Heavenly Man Realm, also a Taiji Heaven expert.

At this stage, the Heavenly Pulse is divided into black and white and becomes more distinct and considerably larger, naturally making its strength superior to that of a First Line of Heaven expert.

Ling Xiao now felt somewhat fearful in retrospect; no wonder he couldn’t outpace it. This creature was so strong, and it was sheer luck that it hadn’t eliminated him.

But even if the monster can’t get close, what should I do next?

Ling Xiao was almost certain that the creature before him was the Ancient Hell Dragon, and furthermore, a pure-blooded one, not a mixed-blood dragon like the black dragons.

Even if this guy doesn’t seem strong now, once taken as my Martial Soul, he could continue to grow stronger.

But how should I do it?

Fighting is definitely not an option.

It seems there are no other methods.

While pondering a solution, Ling Xiao crammed a large handful of top-quality True Essence Pills and several healing pills into his mouth.

The top-quality True Essence Pills were concocted by himself, while the healing pills had been acquired during the trial in the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

No matter what method I need to take, first I have to heal my body.

Regardless, I must acquire this Ancient Hell Dragon, whether I use it as a Martial Soul or just trap it temporarily in the Mountain and River World for now and tame it later.

However, the difference between a pet and a Martial Soul is quite big.

A pet can only assist in combat as an external force.

But a Martial Soul is bound to the soul of the martial artist, connected by blood. At a certain point, it can not only assist in combat but also allow the martial artist to use various abilities of the Martial Soul.

Therefore, in a sense, Martial Souls are far more useful than pets.

If possible, Ling Xiao would still prefer to make the Ancient Hell Dragon his own Martial Soul.

Pets are too hard to control, and if they betray you, they could hurt you, but a Martial Soul will absolutely not betray you.

But at the end of the day, it still comes down to the same problem, how to defeat this guy.

Without defeating it, there is no talking about subjugating it, let alone converting it into a Martial Soul.

Even experts of the Heavenly Man Realm of the same realm would absolutely not be a match for such a primordial pure-blooded giant beast, not to mention Ling Xiao, who is just a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, and even less likely to win.

Depend on Little Butterfly?

Forget it, Little Butterfly is full and tired now, soundly asleep.

Why not search first? Since this area is somewhere that creature dares not approach, it means there should be something here that can restrain it. Moreover, since the Moon Blossom Fairy left a sliver of hope, there naturally might be a way to subdue the Ancient Hell Dragon.

When his body had recovered to its peak condition, Ling Xiao got up and began searching the clearing.

Others might not find it, but it’s impossible for me not to find anything.

Releasing a True Essence Ball and utilizing the analytical capability of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, in an instant, he found the key point.

On this ground, there was actually an altar completely covered by dirt.

Ling Xiao quickly dug up all the dirt, then approached the altar, hoping to find something useful there.

Atop the altar was a statue, a very beautiful woman. However, why did she look more and more like that Little Butterfly the more I looked?

Never mind.

Ling Xiao shook his head and turned his attention to the necklace around the neck of the statue on the altar.

"High imitation·Justice Pendant!"

This was the conclusion reached after the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analysis.

"High imitation·Justice Pendant, an Immortal-grade Treasure, can only be used once, allowing one’s strength to temporarily reach a stage completely equal to that of the opponent. In ancient times, one of the Twelve Immortals who controlled the laws of the Human Sacred Dynasty, the Law Enforcement Celestial Venerate, possessed the genuine version of this treasure."
