Chapter 4 The Demonic Sound Calls Taotie
The human-faced demon sheep was still struggling desperately under Ye Tianming's suppression, crying like a baby.
That miserable sound seems to disturb people's minds, making them unable to bear to do anything to it.
"Xiaochen, kill it quickly!"
Only then did Long Chen react, pulled out the sharp dagger, came to the human-faced demon sheep, and pierced its neck with the knife.
The Man-Faced Demon Sheep struggled painfully for a few times, and then fell to the ground.
Only then did Ye Tianming restrain his soul power.
"Judging from the number of rings on the horns, the cultivation level of this human-faced head should be around four hundred years. Xiaochen, when you absorb its soul ring, your body may suffer a big impact."
"Uncle Ye, I have no problem."
Ye Tianming patted Long Chen on the shoulder.
"Well, just absorb it with peace of mind later. I will protect you from the side."
A trace of mist slowly rose from the body of the human-faced demon sheep, gradually condensing into a soul ring that released a faint yellow light.
Long Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusted his breathing, and then used his mind to slowly pull the soul ring over.
As the soul ring got closer, Long Chen could feel strong energy fluctuations.
He took a deep breath to calm down his mind, and carefully guided the energy in the soul ring to merge with his soul according to the method taught by Ye Tianming before.
The energy in the soul ring penetrated into his body like a trickle, flowing slowly along his meridians.
Long Chen could clearly feel that the energy was nourishing every cell in his body, slowly increasing his strength.
However, the good times did not last long. As the absorption deepened, the energy in the soul ring suddenly became violent, violently impacting his body like a storm.
He felt as if his body was being torn apart.
"Hold on, Xiaochen."
Ye Tianming and Ye Lingling stood aside, watching Long Chen.
This is the only way for every soul master to grow.
Long Chen gritted his teeth, sweat sliding down his face.
He focused deep within his heart and used his willpower to harness that violent energy and turn it to his own use.
As time went by, the violent energy was gradually tamed and turned into a gentle force, nourishing every inch of Long Chen's skin, every bone, and even the depths of his soul.
His breath gradually became calmer, and there was a faint light flickering around his body.
When the last trace of energy is completely absorbed, the soul ring turns into nothingness.
Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power in his body, and his heart was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
"Uncle Ye, I succeeded!"
Ye Tianming smiled and nodded, his eyes full of relief.
"Xiaochen, you did a good job, how do you feel?"
Long Chen stood up and moved his limbs, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Uncle Ye, I feel that my strength has increased a lot, the soul power in my body is more powerful, my control of the soul power has become more refined, and my perception has become much stronger."
"This is the benefit after absorbing the soul ring. Your strength has obviously been promoted to a higher level. Only with the soul ring can you be called a true soul master. However, this is just the beginning. As you continue to improve , obtain more soul rings, your strength in all aspects will be further improved, and you will also face greater challenges.”
"I understand, Uncle Ye."
Long Chen looked determined.
"I will continue to work hard to live up to your expectations."
Ye Lingling looked at Long Chen from the side with a bit of admiration in his eyes.
"Brother Long Chen, you are so amazing. You have the first soul ring so quickly, and your soul power has also improved a lot, right?"
Long Chen turned to look at Ye Lingling and said softly:
"My soul power has increased by two levels, and it is now level 12."
"Winning two levels in a row, what about soul skills?"
The father and daughter looked at Long Chen at the same time, both curious. Long Chen frowned.
"Uncle Ye, this soul skill I obtained is a bit strange. I can't explain what it feels like."
"Oh?"
Ye Tianming was slightly startled.
"Then show me how to use it."
"Okay."
Long Chen released his Dark Night Demon Qin Wuhun.
The black magic piano was suspended in front of him, and his ten fingers gently plucked the strings.
Along with the sudden flash of the first soul ring, a black mist was released from the magic piano, and in the blink of an eye it condensed into a shadow in the air.
Looking at the shadow with a faint black light, Ye Tianming and Ye Lingling were both startled.
The black shadow was in the shape of a goat with a human face. It looked somewhat similar to the demon goat with a human face, but it was different.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It is more than five meters tall, with two sharp horns, tiger-like teeth and human-shaped claws.
What's even weirder is that between its armpits, there is a huge eye, glowing with blood-red light.
Although it is a phantom, it looks extremely vicious.
A baby-like sound came from its mouth that made people's heads tingle.
"What is this? A mutant of the Man-Faced Demon Sheep?"
Ye Tianming couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He had never seen such a strange beast.
Long Chen's heart tightened.
He knew that this was a ferocious beast in myths and legends from ancient times, named Taotie.
Taotie, together with Taotie, Chaos, and Qiongqi, are also known as the four most ferocious beasts in ancient times. They are ferocious and gluttonous beasts.
Long Chen never expected that his Dark Night Magic Piano could actually summon the Taotie phantom.
"Uncle Ye, it seems to be an ancient mythical beast called Taotie."
"Taotie?"
"Yes. I heard a storyteller mention it when I was wandering on the street. I thought he was making it up, but I didn't expect such a strange beast to exist."
Ye Tianming nodded doubtfully.
"After living for most of my life, this is the first time I have heard of Taotie. I wonder where the storyteller learned about it. Xiaochen, what is this soul skill you obtained?"
Long Chen put away his martial spirit, and the Taotie shadow disappeared.
"Uncle Ye, my first soul skill is also a bit weird. I call it 'Demon Sound Summons Taotie'. When I use this soul skill, I can summon Taotie through the sound of the piano. Taotie is gluttonous and has the ability to devour everything for hundreds of years. Level soul skills also have a certain devouring and weakening effect on soul skills above a hundred years level.”
"? Devour?!"
Ye Tianming's expression changed drastically.
He was originally worried that Long Chen would be controlled by his inner demons, but he didn't expect that the first soul skill Long Chen obtained would be so evil.
Long Chen already had the ability to devour evil martial spirits.
Moreover, the devouring ability seems to be very powerful.
If he cannot control his inner greed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Long Chen seemed to sense what Ye Tianming was worried about.
He didn't know why he could use this kind of soul skill.
Long Chen felt that his body was like a carrier, carrying an unknown force. With his current strength, he was still unable to fully control that powerful force.
He guessed that as his soul power increased, Taotie's devouring power would become even more powerful.
