Chapter 223 Shadow Devouring Beast

Luo Ling had seen the description of this kind of soul beast in the library of the Spirit Hall.

The Shadow Devouring Beast is shaped like a cat-like soul beast. Its body is covered in black mist, and its eyes emit a faint blue light.

Its body can shrink freely, its limbs are slender, and there is a black energy ball at the end of its tail.

It can devour all energy, even light.

Swallowing light to create a lightless dark area is the Shadow Devourer's strongest ability. At the same time, in the darkness, the Shadow Devourer can also move freely, just like the effect of teleportation.

"That Shadow Devouring Beast is only one step away from a hundred thousand years. Even I can only repel it but not kill it." The Azure Bull Python led the way.

"From the looks of you, you should know about the Shadow Devourer. I will take you there, but it depends on you whether you can kill it."

"You said we are only responsible for guiding you, we won't help you."

The Azure Bull Python glanced at the Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo behind Luo Ling.

These two are Titled Douluo, but judging from their aura, neither of them is very powerful. Even if they were to face the Shadow Devouring Beast, it would probably be difficult for them to kill it.

However, there is no problem in escaping with Luo Ling.

Retracting his gaze, the Azure Bull Python shook its head.

Soon, they arrived at a dark forest.

The forest was extremely dark. It was daytime now, but it felt like night. And the deeper into the forest one went, the darker it became, as if all the light had been swallowed up.

Qian Renxue felt the darkness ahead and felt somewhat uncomfortable, with her six-winged angel spirit trembling.

"The Shadow Devouring Beast is inside. We won't attack. If you want to get the soul ring, just go in." The Azure Bull Python stopped, and the Titan Giant Ape also stopped.

Luo Ling looked at the forest in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his sight, there were countless spiritual lines extending from the darkness, and vaguely, Luo Ling saw a shadow.

"Your Highness, are we going in?" Thorny Porpoise Douluo looked at the forest solemnly and said to Luo Ling who was standing beside him.

"Let's go." Luo Ling nodded and walked into the forest first.

The forest was quiet, and it became darker the further in as one went. Qian Renxue summoned her martial spirit, but it could only emit a faint light, as most of the light was swallowed up by an unknown force.

As they went deeper, the visible range became narrower, but it had no effect on Luo Ling.

His vision was completely unaffected by the darkness, and what he saw were countless lines of spirits.

Luo Ling stopped, and in an instant his martial spirit possessed him, and an evil aura spread in the forest.

Deep in the forest, the dark shadow seemed to sense the danger, and a pair of dark blue pupils lit up in the darkness.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Upon seeing this, the two Titled Douluo, Thorny Porcupine and Snake Spear, immediately stood in front of Luo Ling, with their spirit rings under their feet lighting up, and attacked the figure in the darkness without any hesitation.

The two attacks came one after the other, landing at the place where the dark blue pupil appeared, but they missed.

In Luo Ling's sight, the spirit line moved in the darkness and appeared above his head.

The Shadow Devouring Beast actually bypassed the two Titled Douluo and attacked Luo Ling directly!

"Luo Ling, be careful!" Qian Renxue behind him felt the sense of crisis coming from the martial soul and saw the black figure suddenly appear above Luo Ling's head.

The next second, the Shadow Devouring Beast stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed Luo Ling directly.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and just as a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Devourer, it suddenly woke up. Its claws did not attack anything.

A creepy feeling appeared in the heart of the Shadow Devouring Beast, and the next moment it wanted to leave the place, but at this moment, he felt that the time and space around him became extremely slow.

Not far behind the Shadow Devouring Beast, Luo Ling's eyes flashed with an evil red light.

His spiritual thread had already eroded upwards, and the red light had already covered the entire spiritual thread of the Shadow Devouring Beast.

The Shadow Devouring Beast was indeed a soul beast that was nearly 100,000 years old. The strength of its mental power was somewhat beyond Luo Ling's expectations.

The man and the beast were in a brief stalemate.

You should know that Luo Ling’s mental strength is comparable to that of a Titled Douluo!
At this time, Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo also reacted, turned around and attacked the Shadow Devouring Beast.

Under the attack of the two Titled Douluo, the Shadow Devouring Beast, which had been desperately resisting Luo Ling's invasion, could no longer hold on.

A trace of despair flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Devouring Beast. It didn't know what that strange human had done to it, but it could feel that it was about to lose control of its body.

Time passed little by little, and a quarter of an hour later, the Shadow Devouring Beast fell to the ground.

Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo looked at the motionless Shadow Devouring Beast on the ground with horror in their eyes.

This is a soul beast that is nearly a hundred thousand years old, and Luo Ling actually controlled it for a quarter of an hour!

And now it seems that this soul beast seems to have lost its ability to resist.

The two couldn't help but think of the rumors about Luo Ling in the Spirit Hall.

Luo Ling has the ability to turn other people, even Titled Douluo, into puppets, but that rumored ability only lasts for one minute.

Now this soul beast, which is comparable to a Titled Douluo, seems to have turned into a puppet. This process took more than a minute!

More importantly, they have no idea how Luo Ling controls this shadow-devouring beast. If Luo Ling uses his ability on them, can they resist it?

For a moment, the two of them looked at Luo Ling with some fear in their eyes.

"Thank you both elders for your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to control the Shadow Devouring Beast so easily." Luo Ling slowly walked to the side of the Shadow Devouring Beast.

He could sense something was wrong with Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, but he had no intention of explaining.

He didn't want to expose the horror of the Spirit Line before because he was afraid of being assassinated before it grew up. Now he is not afraid of anyone.

The ultimate evil condensed into a pitch-black sickle in Luo Ling's hand, and Luo Ling slashed directly at the Shadow Devouring Beast.

In an instant, the life luster in the eyes of the Shadow Devouring Beast completely dissipated, and a soul ring with a hint of bright red in the darkness floated out from the body of the Shadow Devouring Beast.

A soul beast that was nearly a hundred thousand years old just died like that without even causing any waves.

Hu Liena and Qian Renxue, who were standing by, felt unreal when watching this scene.

With the death of the Shadow Devourer, the darkness in the forest began to dissipate, and rays of light shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

"I'd like to trouble the two elders to protect me." Luo Ling said this and sat down cross-legged.

Three hours later, a terrifying aura burst out from Luo Ling's body.

Luo Ling opened his eyes.

Soul rings rose under his feet, all the way to the seventh soul ring.

Unlike the first six soul rings, Luo Ling’s seventh soul ring actually has an illusory feeling.
