The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1017 - 398: Sun Temple

"Awooo—woo woo!!"

On the raised mound, a fire fox stood on all fours, its roar piercing the heavens and its aura unmatched.

This was truly the Storm Fierce Fox, its wild nature swirling in its eyes, sharp fangs, and blazing flames enhancing its exceptional stance.

"Eh? Where did this come from? What strong Fire Element!"

Above their heads, the Golden Crow fledglings circled, each showing a curious expression.

In the blink of an eye, beneath the Sun God Child, how did another riding beast appear?

Was this the fledgling of the Storm Fierce Fox family? There were similarities in their bloodline, but the changes in appearance were quite distinct.

"Child, if you don’t wish to stay in the clan, we won’t force you..."

"Being able to follow Lord Hanba and the Sun God Child, you will definitely learn skills that can shake the heavens and the earth; we sincerely bless you..."

The aged Storm Fierce Fox stood at the mouth of the cave, gratified yet sighing with deep emotion.

Suddenly, a male and female fox dashed out of the hole, one chasing the other like lightning.

"Your Highness, you saved my vixen; the grace is as heavy as a mountain, and cannot go unrepaid!"

"This is my lifelong collection, please feel free to take anything you fancy!"

The male fox spoke with a bag of beast skin in his mouth, bulging with items stuffed inside.

It tore open the mouth of the bag, scattering a large pile of crystalline stones.

Additionally, there were many bones of beasts.

Such as antlers, skulls, teeth, claws, tailbones... all trophies obtained from hunting, their honorific value greater than their practical use.

"Take the rest back, I will take just two items,"

Ye Hanjun didn’t refuse because he spotted items of personal interest, and symbolically chose to accept.

One was a "Chaotic Magic Stone," internally mixed with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

With Huazhu, who had absorbed the sap of the Fusang tree, if it practiced with this stone, it could possibly ascend to Great Completion in forty to fifty years.

The other was a "Riding Wind Fox Tail," originating from the Near Ancient Era, a treasure left by the ancestors of the Storm Fierce Fox.

Whoever attached this tail could temporarily gain the ability to harness hurricanes.

To use this in battle was of negligible importance.

To use this to escape the battlefield and elude enemies was of monumental significance.

"Your Highness, the old fox also has treasures to offer!"

The old clan leader of the Storm Fierce Fox family slowly approached the Storm Fierce Fox.

It was very old, its vitality drained, its wrinkled skin frail and withered.

At first glance, its size was no different from the newly born Storm Fierce Fox.

So when it lowered its gaze, the look in its eyes was level, a restrained gentleness emerging:

"Little Storm Fierce Fox, you almost died in your mother’s womb, your innate fate troubled..."

"You hold great ambitions, wishing to fight across the lands, with the spirit of an iron-blooded fox cub, we rejoice..."

"The old clan leader here has a ’Fire Continuum Branch,’ a Spiritual Object for your bone marrow cleansing and bone spurting when you were young, it might be enough..."

Upon saying this, the old fox extended its paw.

In its palm lay a red plant, about three meters long, resembling bamboo in shape, its surface glossy, twinkling like a twinkling star.

"Fire Continuum Branch?" Ye Hanjun was slightly surprised.

According to his knowledge, a Spiritual Medicine like this grew only one meter per epoch.

Being over three meters, its actual age was over thirty thousand years.

This caliber of divine medicine was more than sufficient to be defined as "precious" for a Supreme Saint fledgling.

"Woof!"

The Storm Fierce Fox did not stand on ceremony, howling once and directly biting the bamboo into its mouth.

It chewed at most three times, swallowing it whole.

Instantly, Ye Hanjun sitting on its back distinctly felt a fiery power surge from its abdomen into its limbs.

"Hula! Hula!!"

A cluster of heart-searing flames lit up the tip of its tail.

Following were the second cluster, the third cluster, the fourth cluster...

After nine cycles of breathing, there were a total of nine balls of flame, boiling on the entire fox tail like a string of stars.

"Awooo—woo!!!"

The Storm Fierce Fox howled at the sky, its flesh under the fur turning even redder.

Ye Hanjun suddenly felt scorching under his seat, as if he was sitting on an Ancient volcano that, once fully erupted, would even make him experience the immense pain of being burned by fierce flames.

"Bang! Tad tad tad! Dad dad dad!!"

Under its boiling blood state, the fire fox, carrying Ye Hanjun, randomly chose a direction and ran! Ran! Ran wildly!

It was as if it had inexhaustible strength, which it needed to vent immediately.

Ye Liuying and Mu Shoucong quickly mounted the Golden Crow fledglings, whipping their mounts to chase after them.

Though they had lived for decades and received various trainings from Acquired.

Jin Tianpi and Jin Tiandan were shocked to find that the Storm Fierce Fox was slightly faster than them.

After all, they were Golden Crows, veritable Heavenly Fond Spirits, legendary sacred birds of feathers.

Bathing in perfectly matched blazing sunlight, racing in an unobstructed sky, yet they struggled to outpace a terrestrial beast?

"How preposterous!"

"Jin Tiandan, surpass it, Liuying said it was just born, how dare it ride roughshod over us!"

Jin Tianpi’s competitive spirit was ignited.

Growing up together, Jin Tiandan’s temperament was about seventy percent similar to its own.

They flapped their wings, flying and flying, nearly transforming into two red streaks of light as they blazed across the sky like lightning.

Then—the Storm Fierce Fox seemed to realize too that the two birds overhead were competing with it.

It also accelerated, every impact with the ground allowing it to leap high, falling back down with feet touching the ground, invariably leaving deep charred footprints.

"Awooo woo! Awooo woo woo!!"

After three whole days and nights, still maintaining the lead, the Storm Fierce Fox suddenly paused its steps.
