This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 581 - 57: The Beast that Never Existed (Part 2)

Chapter 581: Chapter 57: The Beast that Never Existed (Part 2)

Because, this time, the aura on the statue in the heart of the lake was several times more intense than before, no longer faint and elusive but clear and audible.

In this situation, Lu Qingshan finally remembered where that inexplicable familiarity came from.

The aura entwining this statue was…

…the same strange aura that clung to the wound of the You Xiong Tribe’s Sacrificial Spirit, originating from the same source.

It carried an intention of Annihilation that could return everything to nothingness!

However, the intention of Annihilation on the statue was mixed with a mysterious aura that even Lu Qingshan found difficult to comprehend.

...

This had prevented him from associating the two until now.

But why?

Why would a statue harbor the intention of Annihilation?

Why would the aura from a statue, located in the ancestral land and immovable, appear on the body of the You Xiong Tribe’s Sacrificial Spirit thousands of miles away?

Did this statue attack the You Xiong Tribe’s Sacrificial Spirit?

How could that be possible, it’s just a statue, how could it harm someone from thousands of miles away?

Countless doubts flashed through Lu Qingshan’s mind in an instant.

His steps involuntarily paused, and his gaze swept back and forth over the statue, seeking to uncover its secrets.

Previously, he had spent nearly ten days observing the various Sacrificial Spirits of the Barbarian Tribe.

Not long ago, he had observed the Dark Cang Ink Dragon, immersed in the sensation of the Sword Qi Spirit about to break through the sea.

Now his thoughts were in turmoil, making him view the statue, due to inertia, in the way one would observe a ferocious beast.

He observed the statue, which was clearly inanimate, in the manner of observing a ferocious beast.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized his ridiculous action and almost stopped himself.

Boom!

At that moment, his sea of consciousness roared and churned, waves surged, and mountains crumbled.

The feeling of the Sword Qi Spirit about to break through the sea emerged once again.

What was this situation?

Lu Qingshan was stunned.

Wasn’t the Sword Qi Spirit supposed to be useful only when observing Demon Beasts?

And moreover, could it be that the Sword Qi Spirit that best matched his temperament was actually a statue?

No… no!

There was something wrong with this statue!

Lu Qingshan was shocked beyond measure, looked around, moved swiftly, and dashed several miles out of the ancestral land, finally stopping on a small hill.

Because the Barbaric Beast statue was so massive, he could still clearly see its form even from here.

And by using the hill for cover, he could also somewhat avoid being detected.

Although this area was still very dangerous.

But Lu Qingshan understood that if he just left, he would always have regrets.

He took a deep breath, lifted his head, ignoring the chaotic battle between the Demon Race and the great practitioners of the Barbarian Tribe, and gazed intently at the Barbaric Beast statue.

The statue was crudely made with not much detail.

Yet oddly enough, such a crudely crafted statue was pervaded with an intention of Annihilation, and it even triggered his Sword Qi Spirit.

Lu Qingshan quickly immersed his mind in the statue, carefully observing every angle, every small surface, every detail of this Barbaric Beast statue.

At the same time, he outlined its specific shape in his mind.

Boom, boom, boom!

As he outlined, the image of the beast gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg, and the waves in his sea of consciousness became increasingly turbulent.

The roar of a beast from ancient times resounded once again in his mind.

After thousands of calls, the Pipa girl would still start out with her face half-covered.

Even if you are a Water Lotus Flower not withstanding the cold wind, having struggled so many times, it should be time for you to come out, right?

Lu Qingshan’s breathing grew more rapid.

Then…

When the turbulence in his sea of consciousness reached its peak, his outlining ceased.

Because he had completely finished observing the part of the Barbaric Beast statue that emerged above the water.

The remaining part of the Barbaric Beast statue submerged in the lake water was not visible from his current viewpoint, making it impossible to observe.

His sea of consciousness returned to calm.

The Sword Qi Spirit still did not appear.

…

Lu Qingshan finally understood that the Sword Qi Spirit lurking deep in his sea of consciousness was not a ‘Water Lotus Flower’ but a ‘White Lotus Flower’.

Every time, just as he was about to give up, it gave him a bit of hope, a bit of sweetness, to keep him striving.

But when he really started making efforts, he found it was close at hand yet as far as the horizon.

It was nothing more than a wild-goose chase.

Pausing briefly on the spot, Lu Qingshan looked again at the Barbarian Tribe’s great practitioners and the Demon Race, pulling the battlefield further away. He gritted his teeth and made an extremely risky decision.

He intended to observe the part of the Barbaric Beast statue that was submerged in water.

Having made up his mind, Lu Qingshan no longer hesitated, leaped up, and headed straight for the heart of Namucuo Lake.

The closer he got to this Barbaric Beast statue, the more evident the intention of Annihilation became.

With eager eyes, upon reaching the heart of the lake, Lu Qingshan’s body shook slightly, and his robust Spiritual Power completely enveloped his body before he transformed into a Radiance and plunged to the bottom of the lake.

What is this…?!

After entering beneath the lake surface, Lu Qingshan’s pupils constricted.

This Barbaric Beast statue was located in the part below the surface of the lake, yet it wasn’t the entirety.

Because at the bottom of the lake, there was an unfathomably deep cavern.

And this Barbaric Beast statue seemed as if it had grown from within this cavern, with more than half still buried in the depths of the cavern.

At the edge of the cavern, there were whirlpools present.

An extremely vast and wild fluctuation emanated from the cavern, along with massive surges of golden light radiating from it.

This cavern must be the Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixated on this cavern.

Let’s first observe this part of the statue below the lake surface.

Lu Qingshan’s mind stirred slightly, no longer thinking about the Dragon Gate, and once again strange colors appeared in his pupils as he roamed over the Barbaric Beast statue.

Even combining that part of the Barbaric Beast statue which was above the lake surface with this part below it, Lu Qingshan still couldn’t discern what class of Demon Beast this statue represented.

However, that didn’t hinder his observation.

He followed the previously undrafted image of the Barbaric Beast and continued to outline it.

The third storm surged up in his sea of consciousness, resulting in towering waves.

This time, unlike the previous two times, was slightly different because, unknowingly, Lu Qingshan’s mind had slowly entered a state of void.

His consciousness was completely blank; everything had disappeared, leaving only the existence of this Barbaric Beast.

His desire for the Sword Qi Spirit was also temporarily forgotten.

Yet in this state, the roaring and bellowing of the ancient fierce beasts in his sea of consciousness burst forth one after another, resounding continuously.

Regrettably, at that moment, Lu Qingshan had completely blocked out all sounds, including those from his own sea of consciousness.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a colossal towering entity suddenly appeared before Lu Qingshan’s eyes.

This colossal entity was shrouded in shadows, and no matter how much he strained his eyes, he couldn’t discern its specific appearance.

But he could faintly feel that the tail of this figure was very similar to the part of the statue he had been observing earlier.

Above the void of this space, a full sun and a crescent moon hung in Heaven’s Vault.

The sun and moon were out.

Where is this place?

The thought unconsciously emerged in Lu Qingshan’s mind.

At that moment, the terrifying figure whose features were indistinguishable suddenly rose to the sky, opening its enormous mouth and biting towards the sun and moon above in Heaven’s Vault.

Boom!

Lu Qingshan’s consciousness began to spin crazily.

When he came back to his senses, the sun and the Crescent Moon were already before his eyes.

—At that instant, he realized he had become that colossal towering entity!

He opened his gaping maw.

With just one bite, the sun and moon were both swallowed into his stomach.

Then, endless flames ignited the moment the sun and moon entered his belly, burning from within him.

It was unbearably hot.

His flesh began to burn, but as every inch of flesh turned to nothingness, new flesh emerged.

A continuous cycle of life.

This was undoubtedly the most painful torment in the world, akin to heartburn.

Lu Qingshan began to roll continuously in immense pain, struggling incessantly.

He could feel his consciousness, being slowly devoured by these flames.

Suddenly, this void world, under the burning of endless flames, started to shatter, all visuals beginning to dissipate.

Yet Lu Qingshan was still immersed in the pain and shock of swallowing the sun and moon and then being consumed by the flames.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of terrifying creature could possess the peak might to devour the sun and moon, along with a fearless heart, willingly enduring the flames consuming its body.

The heavens fractured and the earth split, all visuals were burned into nothingness.

And above the sea of consciousness, Lu Qingshan’s Primordial Spirit had finally opened its eyes.

Chirp chirp!

Lu Qingshan could feel something slippery roaming about on his Primordial Spirit, accompanied by sharp chirping sounds next to his ear.

His consciousness had just recovered from the void state, still somewhat groggy, his gaze subconsciously looking towards his hand.

Visible on the tiny hand of his Primordial Spirit was an even tinier green snake merrily moving about, continuously licking his hand.

Strangely, this green snake had a completely slick body without any scales, but on its back were rows of extremely tiny, sharp bones standing erect, resembling sword blades.

And atop its tiny head, there were two swollen protrusions.

The most eerie aspect was its eyes—on the left a red, circular sun shape and on the right a cool pale-gold color, shaped like a Crescent Moon.

With these characteristics, calling it a Green Snake was simply illogical.

But Lu Qingshan also truly couldn’t name it, though it looked somewhat like a green snake.

This was a creature never seen before.

And without a doubt, it was also his Sword Qi Spirit.

Lu Qingshan stared blankly at this “Green Snake”.

What are you?
