Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 355: Chapter 326: Jinhao Celestial Spirit Feather

”A Divine Ability? Do my feathers count as one? The moment my Core formed, some information appeared in my mind. This ability seems to be called Jinhao Celestial Spirit Feather!”

It spread its wings, showing them off to Chen Che.

Chen Che looked and saw that, indeed, at the tip of its wing was a feather faintly glowing with Spiritual Light. It looked extraordinary at a single glance.

The unique bodies and intellect of Demon Beasts limited their learning capacity to a certain extent. This also made it impossible for them to use Magical Artifacts as flexibly as Cultivators, or to cast some of the more profound Magic.

However, the Celestial Dao is fair.

Every time a Demon Beast broke through a Grand Realm, there was a certain chance it would comprehend a Divine Ability originating from its bloodline. Of course, the higher the Grade of the bloodline’s source, the greater the probability of comprehending a High Tier Divine Ability.

This was also why Beast Masters sought out High Tier Spirit Pets.

But since it was a matter of probability, it wasn’t always a sure thing, which was why the Little Chick had not comprehended any Divine Abilities during its Foundation Establishment.

’A feather-type Divine Ability is quite fitting for an avian beast. I wonder how powerful it is...’

Chen Che nodded slightly.

Generally speaking, aside from being related to their own attributes, the Divine Abilities comprehended by Demon Beasts were mostly centered on their own bodies.

Jinhao Celestial Spirit Feather!

Just from the name, it was obviously related to feathers.

”Go ahead and use it. Let me see what it can do. But not here. Let’s find another spot first.”

Besides the Earth Store Profound Tree, there were also some Tier Three Spirit Trees in the woods. These had all been offered as tribute by the Liu Family. Although Liu Yuanqing hadn’t been able to find a Divine Court Tree, he had presented quite a few High Tier tree species.

Ordinary places couldn’t sustain these Spirit Trees; only this forest, rich with Spiritual Qi, was suitable. If they were destroyed while testing the Divine Ability, the loss would be considerable.

Chen Che waved his hand, instantly transporting himself and the Little Chick to a Martial Arts Arena. He lifted his head and shouted to the empty air, ”Array Spirit, seal the Martial Arts Arena! Isolate the sound, and contain the power...”

WMMMM—

As his voice fell, the surrounding space trembled, and something like a curtain of light descended. Before the disciples around could react, they saw a Martial Arts Arena in the corner shimmer and then vanish completely from sight.

SCREEE—

At the same time, the Little Chick let out a high-pitched cry and revealed its true form.

After its Core Formation, its body had swelled by several times. Even without manifesting its Demon Qi, it was a good seventeen to eighteen zhang in size, truly taking on the appearance of a Golden Core Great Demon.

In that same moment, it flapped its wings, kicking up a gale. The glowing feather at its wingtip instantly transformed into a sharp, golden streak of light and shot forward.

RIIIP!

In an instant, the massive Martial Arts Arena was sliced in two. A mark over a hundred zhang long appeared on the greenstone-paved ground. The gash was half an inch wide and unfathomably deep, stretching from in front of the Little Chick all the way to Chen Che’s feet.

And this was merely the power of the Strong Qi slicing through the air as the feather passed.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed across the Martial Arts Arena. A cloud of white smoke erupted directly in front of Chen Che. A wave of what looked like white mist swept outward, and the entire Martial Arts Arena vanished in an instant, replaced by a deep crater.

CRACKLE!

Like a hot knife through butter, the feather instantly pierced Chen Che’s Protective True Essence. It only began to slow down after penetrating more than halfway through.

The space within one zhang of Chen Che was already filled with his surging True Essence. With every fraction of an inch the feather advanced, most of its power was worn away by this True Essence. Finally, with a SNAP, it disintegrated into dust.

”Well now, that’s some impressive power!”

Chen Che nodded slightly.

’Jinhao Celestial Spirit Feather... it uses Demon Qi to sacrificially refine the feathers, turning them into something like Magical Artifacts. Although that feather just now couldn’t break through my Protective True Essence, considering the Little Chick only achieved Core Formation three days ago, this level of power is already very pleasing.’

’Besides, my True Essence is far stronger than that of other cultivators at the Same Tier. Against any other ordinary Golden Core cultivator, that single feather could have shattered their True Essence Shield.’

”I can use this method to condense all the feathers on my body! If I face a powerful enemy, I can launch a barrage of ten thousand feathers, with power rivaling a Sword Cultivator! But since I’ve only just comprehended this Divine Ability and I’m not very skilled with it, I’ve only performed the Sacrificial Refinement on one feather.”

The Little Chick had, after all, seen Chen Che use Sword Control.

Chen Che nodded as well.

’There are Demon Beasts on the Earth Element Star that have comprehended similar Divine Abilities, but the number of feathers they can use Sacrificial Refinement on is limited, nine at most. If all of its feathers were refined to the same degree as the one just now and unleashed all at once, I’m afraid even I would find it difficult to withstand.’

”Not bad. After reaching the Golden Core realm, you’ve finally gained a formidable Divine Ability. It’s worthy of your bloodline.”

It was like with Spiritual Artifacts.

An ordinary Cultivator might have three or four, which was already quite a few. But if someone were to throw tens of thousands of them at an opponent, no Cultivator of the Same Tier could possibly resist.

”Haha...”

Before Core Formation, its lack of Divine Abilities had caused it to suffer quite a bit. It had also been confused as to why it had never comprehended one. But now, even its master was praising the power of this Divine Ability, and the Little Chick couldn’t help but grin and laugh happily.

”And this Divine Ability of mine doesn’t require time-consuming Sacrificial Refinement! I just need to wash my feathers with my Demonic Power, and over time they’ll transform into Jinhao Celestial Spirit Feathers.”

This would naturally make it even more powerful. Chen Che nodded, but then a rather serious problem suddenly occurred to him.

”But... if you launch all your feathers, will you still be able to fly?”

”Chirp!?”

The Little Chick’s laughter died instantly.

”I... I think so...”

However, despite that, Chen Che was still quite satisfied with the Little Chick’s Divine Ability. After all, it previously had too few attack methods, mostly relying on close-quarters combat with its beastly body.

Against versatile cultivators, it was bound to be at a disadvantage.

But now that it had comprehended this Divine Ability, it finally had a way to counter them.

Of course, compared to cultivators, after Core Formation, Demon Beasts could also use their Demon Pill as a means of attack.

However, the Demon Pill was like a cultivator’s Golden Core. If it was damaged or stolen by someone with superior Magical Power, the consequences would be severe—at best, one’s cultivation path would be damaged; at worst, one would perish completely. It was merely a last-resort tactic of trading one’s life for another’s.

In normal times, however, they could also release their Demon Pill to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

...

After being praised for its Divine Ability, the Little Chick was eager to go to Ze State and deal with that Dragonbone Eagle Bird, but Chen Che forced it to stay, ordering it to spend more time in Cultivation In the Valley.

After all, it had only just achieved Core Formation, and its mastery of its Divine Ability was still poor.

「Half a month later.」

Chen Che finished his practice and rose, slowly extending his Divine Sense outward.

As it swept over a mountain peak, he detected three faint auras and couldn’t help but pause.

”They’ve been outside Jinyun Valley for a month and a half without making a move. And they’re focused on what’s going on In the Valley... how interesting. Looks like they’re here for me, nine times out of ten...”

Chen Che stroked his chin.

”It’d be best if they aren’t.”

”But if they are, they won’t be leaving here alive.”
