69: Chapter 69 Beast Spirit Talisman - Thunder Wolf
"Such speed!"
Chu Feng was a little surprised himself.
Although he had always been fast—far faster than others at the same level—
Under the power of Foundation Establishment Completion Stage magic power,
Both the degree of condensation and the precision of control far surpassed the third level of Foundation Establishment.
This caused his efficiency and the quality of his Talisman crafting to improve significantly.
Having no time to savor the feeling, Chu Feng immediately channeled his magic power and injected it into the Mystic Fire Talisman in his hand.
"Go!"
The Talisman flew out of the defensive barrier and was activated the moment it left!
Sizzle—!
The Talisman paper burned, transforming into a sheet of incredibly hot crimson flames that enveloped dozens of Stone Golems.
Chu Feng watched closely.
The flames lasted for three breaths before gradually dying out.
However, those Stone Golems...
Aside from their rocky surfaces being slightly charred and emitting wisps of green smoke, they were actually unharmed!
They shook their bodies, appearing only slightly uncomfortable from the high heat, and then charged at the barrier even more ferociously, as if provoked.
"What the hell?!" Chu Feng's pupils constricted slightly.
The power of a High Grade Profound Rank Mystic Fire Talisman was definitely not weak!
An ordinary Foundation Establishment Completion Stage Cultivator would be heavily injured at the very least if they took this hit without a powerful defensive Magic Treasure or Spell.
If it hit a vital spot, death was even possible.
Yet these Stone Golems only had charred skin?
"This defensive power... is simply ridiculous!" Chu Feng's brow furrowed.
He originally thought these Stone Golems only had attack and defense at the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage level.
Looking at it now, their defense was a bit perverted.
"Ordinary Profound Rank attack Talismans probably won't be able to cause effective damage to them."
Chu Feng quickly judged, "I either need to use a higher-tier Earth Rank Talisman, or... use attribute suppression, or a Talisman with more concentrated power."
With his current Dao of Talismans attainment and Foundation Establishment Completion Stage magic power, an Earth Rank Talisman wasn't impossible to attempt, but the crafting time would be much longer, and the success rate couldn't be guaranteed.
The duration of the barrier was uncertain; the risk was too high.
So, attribute suppression?
Stone Golems are of the earth and rock category, belonging to the Earth element of the Five Elements.
Fire generates Earth, so the effect of Fire-type Talismans would indeed be diminished.
Perhaps he should try Metal, Wood, Water, or Lightning?
"No, there's an even better choice."
Chu Feng's eyes lit up. "Beast Spirit Talisman!"
A Beast Spirit Talisman isn't a simple elemental energy attack; it condenses a Talisman Beast.
A Talisman Beast's combat style is more flexible and varied, and it can continue fighting for a period of time, making it far superior to one-time consumables.
While crafting a Beast Spirit Talisman was several times more complex than a Mystic Fire Talisman, in Chu Feng's current state, he might be able to complete it quickly.
Furthermore, if a Talisman Beast could tie up some of the Stone Golems, it would buy him more time.
With a clear plan, Chu Feng no longer hesitated.
He rinsed his used Talisman Brush in clean water and shook it dry.
He took out a Low Grade Earth Rank Talisman paper and switched to a bottle of Spiritual Ink shimmering with purple lightning.
He raised his brush and concentrated.
This time, Chu Feng's expression was incredibly focused, and his entire aura settled down, as if he had merged into one with the brush and paper in his hand.
The brush tip descended.
What he sketched was no longer simple runes, but a complete 'Talisman Beast True Form' containing life aura and combat will.
Every stroke required the infusion of pure magic power and Divine Sense; every line had to resonate with the whole, forming an endless cycle of energy.
This was the seventh and strongest Beast Spirit Talisman in the first volume of the [Heavenly Talisman Scripture], named the Thunder Wolf Spirit Talisman.
The condensed Talisman Beast, the Thunder Wolf, would be surrounded by purple lightning, as swift as a bolt of electricity, with claws and teeth that possessed lightning-based armor-piercing effects, making it especially good at dealing with enemies with strong defenses.
Inside the cave, the sounds of impact continued like rolling thunder, and the barrier's light dimmed slowly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Time passed minute by minute, the pressure mounting like a mountain.
But Chu Feng's heart entered a state of ethereal clarity.
External interference was blocked out; there was only the Talisman paper in his eyes and the Talisman runes in his heart.
His wrist was incredibly steady as the brush tip flowed. Spiritual light brightened as the lines extended, gradually sketching the outline of a lifelike purple Thunder Wolf that looked as if it could leap off the paper at any moment.
An hour passed.
The barrier's light had dimmed by nearly half, and the ripples on its surface were violent, looking as though it could shatter at any time.
The Thunder Wolf pattern on Chu Feng's paper was ninety-nine percent complete, with only the final few strokes left to 'dot the eyes' and infuse it with true spirituality.
As the final stroke fell and the brush tip was lifted—
The entire Talisman paper suddenly erupted with brilliant purple lightning!
A miniature, lifelike phantom of a Thunder Wolf flashed momentarily above the paper, letting out a low roar that only Divine Sense could perceive.
The Talisman paper itself became heavy, its texture like leather, with the runes deeply embedded and the spiritual light contained within without dissipating.
High Grade Profound Rank Thunder Wolf Spirit Talisman, complete!
Chu Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on his face, though his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Without the slightest pause, the Foundation Establishment Completion Stage magic power in his body surged out. Controlled precisely by his Golden Core Divine Sense, it was instantly injected into the Beast Spirit Talisman.
"Talisman Beast, hear my command: Slay the evil!"
Whoosh—!
The Beast Spirit Talisman turned into a streak of purple light, charging out of the defensive barrier like lightning!
The moment it left the barrier, the Talisman paper burned, and the purple light intensified!
"Awooo—!!"
A wolf howl that shook the cave rang out. Within the purple light, a majestic purple giant wolf over five meters long condensed into form!
It wasn't a physical entity but was composed of pure lightning-attribute energy. Lightning wreathed its body, crackling loudly, and its wolf eyes flashed with electricity, filled with a violent fighting will.
"Thunder Wolf, kill!!"
Without any hesitation, the lightning on the Thunder Wolf's limbs exploded under Chu Feng's control. It turned into a bolt of purple lightning and pounced on the nearest Stone Golem!
It moved so fast it left only an afterimage in the air.
The Stone Golem seemed to sense the threat; it gave up on ramming the barrier and turned to swing its rocky arm at the Thunder Wolf.
However, the Thunder Wolf was incredibly agile, sidestepping the blow while simultaneously lashing out with a claw!
Blazing purple lightning coiled around its claws as they slammed hard into the Stone Golem's chest.
Crack—!!
A tooth-aching sound of shattering rang out! The Stone Golem's incredibly hard rocky chest was actually struck by this claw, sending stone fragments flying and leaving a clear claw-print indentation. Within the pit, purple lightning raged, continuously eroding the rock structure.
The Stone Golem's body shook violently, its movements clearly slowing down.
The Thunder Wolf pressed its advantage, opening its maw to spit out a pillar of purple lightning as thick as a bucket, which struck the Stone Golem squarely!
Boom—!!!
Lightning exploded, and stone fragments flew everywhere.
The Stone Golem finally couldn't hold on; its entire upper body was blown to pieces, leaving only a pair of stone legs standing in place. They wobbled for a moment before crashing down, turning into a pile of lifeless rubble.
An instant kill!
From the Thunder Wolf's attack to the Stone Golem's destruction, only two or three breaths of time had passed!
"Good!!" Chu Feng couldn't help but shout in a low voice, his heart racing with excitement.
The power of the Beast Spirit Talisman indeed did not disappoint him!
This was only a High Grade Profound Rank one. If it were Earth Rank, or even Heaven Rank... just how insane would that be!!?
