Chapter 2788 - 2791: Strange Beast Talisman: Manipulator of Time?

Upon stepping into Qingniu Palace, Ling Xiao immediately felt the Bull God Beast Soul within him roaring.

"It seems that this Qingniu Palace really has some connection with the Bull God Beast Soul."

Ling Xiao felt quite delighted in his heart.

If this time he could truly obtain something from this small Tuoba Mansion to greatly enhance his combat power, that would be wonderful.

"Red Demoness, you wait here first, I’ll go explore a bit."

The reaction from the Bull God Beast Soul could only tell Ling Xiao that there was something he needed here, but it couldn’t pinpoint the exact location.

He still had to find it himself.

However, Ling Xiao was confident in his ability to find things.

The Tai Chi Eye had the ability to see through and see far, and this Qingniu Palace didn’t seem large, so it should be easy to find.

"Ling Xiao, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it."

Red Demoness said.

Ling Xiao saved her from dire straits, yet she hadn’t been able to help Ling Xiao with anything, which made her feel quite uneasy.

"No need, I’ve already found it!"

Within Qingniu Palace, there was an altar filled with scalding lava.

Ling Xiao discovered that within this lava, there was something resembling an oracle bone with some peculiar characters on it.

He could feel that the reaction from the Bull God Beast Soul was related to this oracle bone.

"Red Demoness, stay put here, I’ll be right back!"

Ling Xiao called out to Red Demoness and then jumped directly into the scalding lava.

Upon contact with the lava, he could immediately feel that his Lava Battle Body seemed to be growing stronger, nearly reaching a state of transformation.

Not only that, the Magma Three-headed Dog within him was also undergoing changes, seemingly advancing.

It appears that apart from devouring similar monster beasts, contacting energy of the same attribute as themselves also enhances these Beast Souls.

Yet none of this was as attractive to Ling Xiao as the oracle bone.

The closer Ling Xiao got to the oracle bone, the more excited the Bull God Beast Soul within him became.

"It seems there’s no mistake, this oracle bone might be some kind of cow bone directly connected to the Bull God Beast Soul."

He quickened his pace, finally arriving near the peculiar oracle bone, then reached out and grabbed it.

The moment it was in his hand, there was a feeling of bloodline connection.

This was truly too magical.

It was as if he had interacted with this oracle bone before, or even that this oracle bone was a part of him that died.

Retrieving the oracle bone, Ling Xiao did not leave the lava but lay in it, continuing to cultivate while carefully observing the oracle bone.

"Splash!"

Unexpectedly, Red Demoness also jumped in.

"Why did you come here too? It’s dangerous!"

Ling Xiao exclaimed.

"You underestimate me, don’t forget that I’m the Red Demoness, my Martial Soul is fire! This lava does no harm to me, only benefits!

The energy is truly abundant, I feel my cultivation level is about to break through again!"

Red Demoness said excitedly.

"That’s good, do you know what this thing is?"

Ling Xiao handed the oracle bone to Red Demoness and asked.

Although this thing felt very peculiar, Ling Xiao really couldn’t understand what it was and could only seek help from Red Demoness.

On the black oracle bone, in addition to many strange characters, there was a depiction of a fierce bull monster.

"This is the talisman, only its material is somewhat special, it seems to be made of beast bones.

On our Xuanwu Continent, it’s called a Beast Talisman.

Legend has it that it’s a magical treasure favored by Beast Warriors, able to maximally stimulate their combat power and grant them the ability to use secret techniques, which they’re typically not skilled at using.

In any case, this thing is very useful, it’s also used for Beast Warriors to inherit Martial Skills."

Red Demoness returned the oracle bone to Ling Xiao and explained.

"How do you use this thing?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"I vaguely recall it seems you need to integrate both the Beast Warrior’s blood and the corresponding Beast Soul into it, and the Beast Talisman will naturally react."

Red Demoness tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Sigh, actually, Sister Mu Qing would definitely remember this best. I haven’t really focused on reading books; I’m more interested in fighting."

"Let me try!"

Ling Xiao considered for a moment.

He’s someone who’s absolutely practical, and since he mentioned trying, he immediately began.

A drop of blood already landed on the Beast Talisman.

Then, he activated the Bull God Beast Soul, merging it into the Beast Talisman.

With this completed, the fierce bull monster pattern on the Beast Talisman suddenly glowed with a fiery red light.

Moreover, Ling Xiao’s mind seemed to have new entities within it.

Yet this feeling was elusive, both real and intangible.

However, while Ling Xiao didn’t feel it significantly, Red Demoness, who stood beside him, was completely astonished.

Because she and Ling Xiao seemed to have been suddenly ruptured into two different worlds.

In her eyes, Ling Xiao’s every movement became incredibly fast.

It was as though everything was accelerated several times, tens of times, or even hundreds of times.

"Ling Xiao!"

She shouted desperately, hoping Ling Xiao could hear her voice and realize this terrifying change.

But it was of no use; Ling Xiao seemed completely oblivious to her calls.

At that moment, Ling Xiao also looked up at Red Demoness.

He saw that Red Demoness seemed frozen in place.

Absolutely motionless.

"Could it be this Beast Talisman’s special effect?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Beast Talisman in his hand in surprise.

To find out, a simple test was all it took.

He quickly retracted his Bull God Beast Soul.

At that moment, the Beast Talisman lost its luster, and everything returned to normal.

Then, he heard Red Demoness shouting loudly beside him: "Ling Xiao, stop it!"

This sound came much later.

"What happened just now?"

Ling Xiao and Red Demoness both voiced the same question.

"Actually, I don’t know either, but it must be some trick by this Beast Talisman. Anyway, better not use it randomly for now, otherwise, it’ll be troublesome."

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and decided to store away the item, planning to research it later when he had time.

Regardless, whether it’s the Demon Dragon Sect or the Chen Royal Family, they should have many books detailing the Beast Talisman.

Studying them slowly after returning wouldn’t be too late.

Ling Xiao stored the Beast Talisman directly into the Mountain and River World and stood up from the lava.

He realized that the Lava Cerberus Beast Soul had advanced once again.

Moreover, Scorching Hell had also changed.

All the Fire Snakes within had grown stronger, and a few lava-condensed Lava Demon Hounds appeared.

Their combat power surpassed that of the Fire Snakes.

This would undoubtedly greatly enhance Ling Xiao’s combat power when using Scorching Hell.

Of course, the Lava Cerberus was only a part.

What shocked Ling Xiao the most was the leveling up of the Lava Battle Body.

Previously, his Lava Battle Body had reached a top-level.

And this time, the Lava Battle Body transformed into the Volcanic Battle Body, apparently stronger, although it reverted to the initial stage.
