Chapter 890 Fortune and misfortune (2)
Naturally, the massive bird knew, that there was no way for a peak rank 3 Dao King\'s soul to resist its attack head-on!
This was the price that one had to pay for angering the heavens! Complete extermination of body and soul alike.
And yet, contrary to the \'heavenly roc\'s\' expectations, the crystal-clear soul in front of it didn\'t even tremble or shake, despite its impending doom. Unlike what the \'heavenly roc\' had expected, Shun Long didn\'t seem flustered at all, almost as if he hadn\'t even sensed the incoming danger.
In fact, his soul appeared completely serene, like a tranquil lake with perfectly still waters, while the \'heavenly roc\'s\' attack was no more than a mere pebble approaching the massive lake. Naturally, such a pebble couldn\'t cause any significant ripples!
In the next moment, Shun Long\'s translucent, crystal-like soul burst with a radiant light, before a thin, white-colored barrier suddenly appeared around it.
The \'heavenly roc\'s\' lifelike eyes couldn\'t hide its surprise as it stared at the thin white barrier in front of it, but its actions didn\'t stop or slow down in the slightest, as its mouth closed and bit down hard, as if it was trying to completely crush the soul within it.
However, the scene that followed next left even the \'golden roc\' utterly flabbergasted!
Regardless of how much it tried to close its mouth or how much force it tried to use, the thin, frail-looking white barrier didn\'t even ripple, as it remained protectively around Shun Long\'s soul!
This attack that could threaten the soul of even a rank 8 Dao Emperor had actually failed to pierce through the barrier\'s defenses!
The \'heavenly roc\'s\' eyes flashed with a cold light, but it didn\'t give up. Opening its mouth, it attacked repeatedly, as it tried to crush the soul in front of it again and again.
However, it didn\'t matter how many times it tried, as the barrier around Shun Long\'s soul didn\'t even ripple!
The \'heavenly roc\' had even resorted to using its talons, as well as the \'Dao of Devourement\' innate to it, but for some reason, the white barrier wouldn\'t so much as shake despite its attacks!
At the same time, Shun Long had a cold look in his eyes as he stared at the \'golden roc\'s\' relentless strikes.
He was confident that the white barrier was more than enough to protect his soul even from a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor\'s mental attacks!
Even if the \'heavenly roc\' attacked it for another day, it would be unable to break through its defenses!
Of course, this was only natural as well.
After all, this white barrier wasn\'t something that Shun Long would normally resort to unless there was absolutely no other way out!
The price he would have to pay was one that made even him feel some heartache.
Regardless, what was done was already done!
At this point, Shun Long knew that the only thing he had to do was wait until the \'heavenly roc\' exhausted all of its power.
...
Soon, even the \'heavenly roc\' stopped its attacks and stared at the white barrier around Shun Long\'s soul with a look of bewilderment in its eyes.
Clearly, its intelligence wasn\'t any lower than a human\'s and the massive lightning bird could tell that the barrier in front of it was truly extraordinary.
In fact, it was so strong it was nearly impregnable with its strength.
The golden roc could tell, that even if it exhausted all of its energy, it was very unlikely that it would pierce through it!
Realizing that it wasn\'t going to succeed, the \'heavenly roc\' quickly turned its sights away from the white barrier as it started to inspect its surroundings!
Clearly, it wasn\'t willing to give up like that.
Soon, a sinister look emerged on its face as its gaze landed on Shun Long\'s \'empty\' spiritual space.
No matter what, right now, Shun Long had less than half of his original spiritual energy left within his spiritual sea. Although spiritual energy could be recovered given enough time, this wasn\'t a process that could be done in a few minutes!
After throwing one last look at the translucent soul in front of it that was protected by the white barrier, the \'heavenly roc\' spread out its massive wings and flew forward, as it started to fly around inside Shun Long\'s spiritual space!
... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Originally, Little Black who had just undergone a multitude of emotions couldn\'t understand what the roc was trying to do, but when he saw it releasing its lightning around it indiscriminately, the black dragon\'s killing intent finally reached its peak
\'\'Vile beast! You dare?\'\'
Throughout his life, Little Black had battled with numerous members of the heavenly roc race. However, he had never felt as much loathing and disgust for any of them, as he did right now!
It was to the point where he was even starting to wonder, whether this was really a bolt of heavenly tribulation or a true detestable heavenly roc.
Little Black didn\'t even need to think to realize what the roc\'s current intentions were.
It was obvious that this \'heavenly roc\' had already given up on destroying Shun Long\'s soul, and it had already set its eyes on his spiritual space.
Although destroying a spiritual space was much more difficult compared to eradicating a soul, it actually wasn\'t impossible. As long as it released all of its remaining energy, it truly had a chance to bring Shun Long\'s spiritual space to the verge of collapse. Once that happened... then even if his soul was still intact, as long as his spiritual space was ruined, Shun Long would be no different from a cripple.
Nevertheless, there was nothing that Little Black could do but watch, as the final bolt of heavenly tribulation wreaked havoc within Shun Long\'s spiritual space.
Its power was being expended extremely rapidly, as sparks of white lightning flew around the enormous roc and landed everywhere around it, before cracks finally began to appear on the walls of Shun Long\'s spiritual space.
At this point, Shun Long was trying his absolute hardest to remain conscious, as he took in the scenes that were taking place inside his spiritual space.
From beginning to end, he was trying to keep a clear, focused mind, but as time passed, he could truly feel himself teetering on the verge of unconsciousness.
However, he knew that as long as he let himself fall unconscious this time, there was almost no chance for him to wake up again after this.
Clenching his fists, he tried hard to endure the terrifying pain, as every passing second felt almost like an entire day, as heavenly lightning tortured his body and mind repeatedly, bringing them on the verge of ruin!
\'\'Screeeh!\'\'
Finally, a few minutes later, the \'golden roc\' let out one last unwilling cry and sent out one final attack towards the \'wall\' in front of it, before the lightning around its body slowly dispersed into nothingness.
