Chapter 164: Bi Fang, Fire Spirit Pearl
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Lu Yuan pulled out the divine soul from Bi Fang’s body, Bi Fang’s physical body immediately lost control and began to fall from the sky.
As for Bi Fang’s human soul and divine beast soul, they had not completely given up yet.
Although they were already locked up by the Soul Reaper Rope, it did not mean they could not resist.
Especially Bi Fang’s soul of the divine beast.
Perhaps sensing danger, it struggled the most intensely.
Even the Soul Reaper Rope that was locked onto his body began to shake violently as if it would break free at any moment.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan said coldly, “I have pulled out your soul, and you still think you can free yourself?”
Lu Yuan opened his right hand, and a scorching green flame began to appear in his palm.
Then, he grabbed the end of the Soul Reaper Rope with his right hand.
The fierce green flame quickly spread to the soul of the divine beast Bi Fang.
“Roar!”
The green flame that Lu Yuan had cultivated to the maximum level immediately caused huge damage to Bi Fang.
The original green flame naturally did not have such a terrifying effect.
However, during the process of displaying the green flame, Lu Yuan also used his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
When the two merged, they formed a special divine soul green flame.
This kind of divine soul green flame did not cause much damage to the physical body.
However, it had a very significant effect on the divine soul.
When Bi Fang’s human soul saw the outcome of the divine beast’s soul, the human soul finally felt fear.
Before coming to the Lower Realm, Bi Fang never thought that there would be a cultivator who could not only defeat him directly but also possess divine soul techniques that even many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators may not be able to use.
One had to know that whether it was the cultivation method of divine abilities or the divine abilities of the divine soul, they were very valuable cultivation techniques even in the Upper Realm.
This cultivator from the Lower Realm named Lu Yuan not only had an outstanding divine soul but also wielded a terrifying soul tool.
Indeed, the Soul Reaper Rope was a soul tool in the eyes of the Bi Fang.
The fact that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could use a soul tool was astonishing. If this news were to spread, even some Holy Lands in the Upper Realm would undoubtedly hear of it and likely take any means necessary to bring Lu Yuan up.
Such talent could no longer be described as a genius.
This guy was simply a monster!
Thinking of this, Bi Fang felt that he was extremely unlucky.
“With such power, why are you still staying here as a disciple of a small sect instead of making a name for yourself in the Upper Realm? What are you thinking?” Bi Fang thought.
Lu Yuan didn’t care about the thoughts of the Bi Fang at all.
At this moment, he had already placed all his attention on the divine beast Bi Fang’s soul.
This divine beast soul was even more troublesome than Lu Yuan had anticipated.
Not only was this divine beast soul extremely tough, but also seemed to be bound by some kind of restriction deep within his divine soul.
This restriction not only restricted the Bi Fang but also protected his soul core from being affected.
Lu Yuan felt as if he was facing an ’emotionless’ young lady.
Despite his endless tricks, she remained unmoved.
Her aloof and indifferent demeanor made Lu Yuan feel like he could never gain her affection, no matter how much he tried.
With no choice but to shift his focus, Lu Yuan decided to give up on obtaining the core part of Bi Fang’s divine beast soul and instead focus on the other parts.
He continued to increase the power of his Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
The divine beast Bi Fang’s soul also began to gradually change.
A crimson Fire Spiritual Pearl finally appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
As for the final imprint of the Bi Fang divine beast soul, Lu Yuan had no way to remove it.
When Lu Yuan released the Soul Reaper Rope that had bound the divine beast soul, the mark instantly disappeared in front of him.
Lu Yuan guessed that this mark was probably taken back by the Heavenly Devil Palace that Bi Fang had mentioned.
However, Lu Yuan was not without gains.
The Bi Fang Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand had condensed 90% of the Bi Fang divine soul’s power.
Moreover, this power had become an unclaimed object, making it easy for Lu Yuan to absorb.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave with the Bi Fang human soul, the human spirit’s expression suddenly twisted in pain.
“All!”
Watching the painful expression of the Bi Fang’s human soul, Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and quickly set up the Nine Guard Return to Origin Array beside the Bi Fang’s human soul.
But the power seemed to be bursting forth from deep within Bi Fang’s human soul, and Lu Yuan was unable to stop it.
In the end, Lu Yuan could only watch as Bi Fang’s human soul disappeared in front of him.
He saw a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage fall just like that.
Lu Yuan’s emotions were complex.
Although he and Bi Fang had a life-or-death rivalry, witnessing a Core Formation Stage cultivator die in such a bizarre manner made him uneasy.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little daunted by the Heavenly Devil Palace behind Bi Fang, which seemed much more formidable than he had anticipated.
Meanwhile, the system’s voice echoed in Lu Yuan’s mind.
[Ding! You have obtained 10,000 luck points for killing the person with the luck, Tang Qu (Bi Fang’s host)]
[Current luck value: 32,000 points]
Lu Yuan wasn’t particularly surprised by the gain of 10,000 luck points for killing Bi Fang.
The only thing he cared about was that this was much more than he had imagined.
This was because Bi Fang’s luck value was only around 3,000.
However, Lu Yuan quickly figured out the reason.
A person’s luck value was the power that the way of the heavens had bestowed upon them.
However, the death of a person with luck did not affect only themselves.
With Bi Fang’s death, the fate of many people would have changed.
Lu Yuan acquired the extra luck value as a result of other people’s fates changing.
After realizing this, Lu Yuan hastily searched Bi Fang’s corpse and then decisively left the scene.
Chen Yan’s departure was apparently to find reinforcements.
Although if Bai Dafei had gone to find Shan Yai, he would undoubtedly have encountered Tang Hongzhi and Lian Caijun, two powerhouses in the Core Formation Stage.
However, Lu Yuan couldn’t be sure how many people were behind Bi Fang.
If necessary, Lu Yuan didn’t want to engage in a fight with those people.
Fleeing was undoubtedly the best course of action.
While he was leaving, Lu Yuan also began to organize his gains.
There weren’t many useful items in Bi Fang’s storage bag, only some magic items and pills.
Lu Yuan estimated that Bi Fang probably didn’t plan on staying in the Lower Realm for too long, so he only brought some of his usual possessions.
Therefore, the most useful item in his storage bag was the flaming feather mother-child sword.
[Flaming feather mother-child sword (quantity 5)]
[Quality: Low-grade magic item]
[Effect: The feathers of the demonic beast, Flaming Feather Raven, were used to create a replica of the Bi Fang Flame Feather Sword. Attacks could be imbued with Bi Fang Fire.]
The appearance of the flaming feather mother-child sword could be considered as having filled the gap in Lu Yuan’s arsenal of magic items.
Besides the flaming feather mother-child swords, Lu Yuan’s other acquisition was the Fire Spirit Pearl, which he had separated from the soul of the Bi Fang’s divine beast soul.
[Bi Fang, Fire Spirit Pearl]
[Effect: This item contained a portion of Bi Fang’s soul power. After consumption, there was a chance that one’s fire spiritual root would change and condense the Bi Fang’s power.]
“Hmm?” Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the word “probability.”
To others, it might be a matter of probability, but to him… wasn’t it just a matter of luck?
“Don’t talk to me about luck. I have nothing but good luck!” he thought.
With that in mind, Lu Yuan put away the Fire Spirit Pearl, knowing that it was not the time to absorb it.
He planned to study the Fire Spirit Pearl after the crisis had been resolved..
