?Chapter 1472: Huo Jinglin(15)

The Bestial Cormorant appeared behind Huo Jinglin and struck.

The next moment, a shocking scene played out as Huo Jinglin was torn apart in pieces. The bird showed no expression in that state, whereas the torn Huo Jinglin suddenly turned into flames.

The flame then began to gather together and soon formed the silhouette of Huo Jinglin. At that moment, his skin had turned even grayer, and the pattern between his brows was turning lighter.

The pattern wasn't just for decoration, it had a specific ability. It was a powerful effect, allowing a Yedrian to become an incarnation of fire for as long as the pattern held out. In that state, the Yedrian was almost invulnerable, as no type of attack caused any injury. It was just that the ability could only be used once since after the effect's end, the pattern would disappear, and with it, the Yedrian bloodline would also evaporate, leaving the user dead.

Huo Jinglin wasn't sure whether he would be able to use the ability when he was making strategy, but after finding out he could activate it, Huo Jinglin could only put his hope in it to survive the Bestial Cormorant's onslaught.

He didn't need to fear the aftereffects of the skill since the store owner had told him that no sequelae were left of the taming battle in reality. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovelEnglish.net

The state didn't only allow Huo Jinglin to defend himself. If that were the case, it wouldn't mean much other than just being a turtle shell in the last moments of life.

In that state, Huo Jinglin could borrow a skill from his ancestors. Since Huo Pinglu, his father, was the strongest Yedrian in the existence of the race, help would come from him.

Huo Jinglin couldn't just borrow any skill but a fixed one, which was an exclusive skill of the Yedrians born after any member of the race stepped into the Sacred King cultivation level.

The skill's power would be as strong as the body could bear, and since in that state, Yedrians were at their peak power irrespective of the situation before the activation, it was akin to a skill released at full power at the peak of the Supreme God.

Huo Jinglin didn't immediately activate the skill since, in the state, the beast was in, the skill wouldn't cause a life-threatening situation but would end in severe damage. He knew he needed to bore the brunt of the beast's power for some more time, and when the beast was at the end of the state, he could activate the skill.

Thinking like that was easy, but implementing it wasn't since it meant Huo Jinglin needed to survive for more than seventy seconds, which was easier said than done.

Despite being invulnerable in that state, the pattern slowly dimmed after every damage he took. Based on how things were progressing, Huo Jinglin wouldn't be able to survive for thirty seconds, let alone seventy seconds. To survive, Huo Jinglin needed to dodge as many attacks as possible so that he could extend the state's duration.

The Bestial Cormorant might have lost its sanity, but it still had its battle instinct, so it also felt that the battle needed to be quickly ended.

It immediately activated [Shadow Jump] and appeared above Huo Jinglin. Huo Jinglin's senses also turned sharper in that state, so he immediately sensed the beast's presence and moved away from the spot.

The next moment, a storm of shadow blades tore apart that location. Huo Jinglin's eyes remained calm when he saw the scene since it was only the start of the chase game between the two.

Time flew by, and thirty seconds passed. It was only thirty seconds, but for Huo Jinglin, every second was no less than an entire span of battle.

In the last thirty seconds, Huo Jinglin dodged many attacks, using his heightened senses, but the beast was no pushover, so it succeeded in landing one attack.

At that moment, the pattern on Huo Jinglin's face had almost turned gray, the same skin color, and it was only one death-

level attack away from complete fading.

Huo Jinglin couldn't let himself get struck, so he gave up on all other instincts and only focused on running. The Bestial Cormorant was a quick creature itself, so it wasn't easy.

Huo Jinglin gave up on physical form and turned into a ball of fire, which helped in his speed increase. The chase game between the beast and the ball of fire got intense since, with every passing moment, the beast could feel the coming danger. It was aware that the intruder was holding something back, so it wanted to end the battle before its enhanced state came to an end.

Unfortunately for the two, things didn't always go the way people wanted them to.

The Bestial Cormorant chased Huo Jinglin to no avail, but when only three seconds were left in its state, it succeeded in reaching the intruder. Huo Jinglin wanted to dodge, but he couldn't see any hope from that situation.

Since things were like that, Huo Jinglin decided not to wait anymore and immediately activated the borrowed skill.

The next moment, the ball of fire turned into a raging incarnation that looked like Huo Jinglin, while its color had changed to pitch blue.

A chilling sensation emerged from Huo Jinglin, and a freezing wave began. Even the elements in the air seemed to struggle against that, but in the end, they had no choice but to be frozen.

The skill's name was [Frozen Domain of Hell], granting the Yedrians control over the ice flame, one of the types of natural flames in existence.

Since Huo Jinglin was only a peak Supreme God, he couldn't fully utilize the skill. As the skill's name implied, the user would have a domain filled with ice flames, freezing enemies to death instantly inside its range.

Huo Jinglin could only extend the effect of the skill up to a hundred meters, but that was more than enough since the beast was only twenty meters away from him.

The skill began to erode the attack released by the beast by freezing the elements in it to extinction, but the elements involved in the attack fought back.
