Chapter 572 Destroying The Spirit.
Shi Lang cursed, and the sword spirit asked quickly, "What happened?"
The Terran said, "I have no idea what to say, but the heart valves are closed. This thing is protecting its blood essence. Also, the heart is covered in demonic energy."
Raksha asked, "Should I come over to you?"
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Do not worry, I will handle it. I lost my temper because I was not expecting the closed valves."
The sword spirit nodded, then focused on guarding Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue. There was a chance that Demonic Cultivators might still come over to attack them. She had watched the fighting. They went against thirty or something demonic cultivators and managed to kill them all while suffering minor injuries. This was a good achievement. However, her mind was still attracted to how Shi Lang was doing.
...
The terran controlled the palace to stick to the heart muscles, and he stopped the suction. Although the Demon Bane Tree was unwilling, Shi Lang understood something. If he did not stop the suction, the spirit energy of the beast would locate him. He would be serving himself to the beast on a silver platter. He did not wish to make the enemy's task easy.
Shi Lang smiled as he watched the Demon Bane Tree calm down slowly and focus on digesting all the blood it had already absorbed. Shi Lang sensed the palace and found that the five sisters had also found a room each and were receiving the inheritances inside.
Shi Lang could find that because he could sense the seals of those rooms activating. Thinking about this, he asked, "How did they do?"
Raksha replied, "They were fine. I must say, this girl, Yun Xue, has some serious skills. You should try and fight with her again and see how she beats you to the pulp."
The Terran replied, "You say as if that would be a good thing."
Raksha snorted and asked, "How are you doing?"
Shi Lang told her the solution he came up with: "It will be fine as long as I do not go flexing my attainments in the art of spirit sense battle. I cannot come out without injury against this beast's spirit sense, and spirit injuries are not easy to heal."
The sword spirit nodded and said, "You can lure it inside the palace with the spirit liquid."
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "I do not know how strong this beast is, and if it contaminated the spirit liquid, what then?"
Raksha said, "Do you think the spirit presence left behind by the predecessors might lend you a hand?"
Shi Lang thought about it and said, "I do not think so. If they did, it would mean consuming the last of their energy. Let us not bother them. This beast will also exhaust itself slowly because the source of demonic energy collection has been slowly siphoned off."
The Sword Spirit wanted to say something when Shi Lang said, "The enemy is here."
The spirit sense of the demonic beast wrapped around the heart and patiently searched. If the palace made any movement at this point, it would be troublesome for Shi Lang. However, he could not stay in this place for a long time. He decided to wait for a few hours.
However, the spirit consciousness showed no sign of movement after six hours. The terran sighed and mumbled, "Then so be it."
He would attack the physical body since he could not attack the beast's spiritual sense. If the spiritual body tried to defend itself from the attack, it would suffer damage. If it fails, then the body will bear the burden. The young man took out the overlord spear he had just received from the enemy.
He channeled his energy inside the spear and charged it. He forcefully controlled the spear from discharging any of the energy, and when he sensed the weapon tremble, he sighed and said, "Friend, if you manage to survive, I will take you back and use you well."
That said, he threw the spear into the void, and a small portal directly placed the weapon outside the palace. The Demon Snake's spirit consciousness did not have the time to react when the weapon regained its full size. The dimensions changed after the space wrapping was undone.
A black translucent snake made from the demonic energy was the spiritual form of this beast. It sensed a great deal of threat heading its way and moved to fend off the attack, but the next moment, a sense of dread overwhelmed it. The spear grew in size, and its lightning energy exploded.
The energy spread around like a spider web, and the spiritual sense of the demon beast was akin to a fly stuck in the web. Shi Lang did watch everything. The body and the spirit both suffered varying degrees of harm.
Shi Lang was surprised and did not expect such damage to the demonic beast. The spirit energy was too volatile. He sighed and watched as the spear tore through the beast's flesh and was pinned directly inside the cave wall.
The snake spirit did not wish to give up and charged at the palace again, and Shi Lang initiated the suction. The spear had nicked the side wall of the heart, causing the fluid inside to be accessible. The snake spirit watched the bloodstream getting siphoned off.
As the blood essence vanished, the spirit sense of the beast began to dampen and slow down. It tried to attack the palace many times, but the building's small size and spirit barrier kept it safe.
He watched the spirit sense gradually lose strength, and then, when the spirit sense was trying to run away, Shi Lang narrowed his gaze. The beast would leave the body and could seek a chance to possess any other snake-type demon or spiritual beast. He would not allow that.
He said, "Raksha, the demonic energy pressure has lessened, and the primordial soul of this thing is trying to escape. Can you handle it?"
The sword spirit replied positively and moved through the void. Raksha located the primordial soul and pinched her fingers. She then launched a sleek spirit sword energy blade. Following that, a roar echoed in the cave. The demon snake succumbed to the domineering Raksha.
On the other hand, Shi Lang finished absorbing the blood and found that the body of the demonic snake had began to dry up and crumble under the suction. Demon-Bane was sucking every last bit of demonic energy in the body. Soon, there was only a skeleton left.
Suddenly, Raksha exclaimed with gleaming eyes, "Oh, treasures!"
