Chapter 110

"Help... help me up..." Su Junmo, who had been lying on the ground, opened his eyes and turned in Meng Qi's direction. He gasped as he pressed one hand on the ground, trying to get up.

Li Che, who was by Su Junmo's side, quickly gave assistance and helped him up.

Su Junmo stood up weakly, giving a light nod to Li Che. After a snow fang bee stung him, Su Junmo's limbs gradually froze, making him look pretty shaky as he stood up. Still, he hadn't lost his ability to use his aura at present, which was all that mattered.

Su Junmo raised his hand high and spread his fingers out. His fingertips flickered, and a blue light flew out of his palm with a soft swish. Immediately afterward, a small white figure appeared out of thin air and floated next to him.

The small white figure was surrounded by a blob of spiritual aura that resembled a huge transparent bubble. No sooner than it appeared, the white figure quickly stretched out its limbs. Its small body trembled slightly, and tails bigger than its body shook behind.

Standing beside Su Junmo, Li Che was stunned for a moment: "This is..."

Meng Qi also gave Su Junmo's side a quick glance. The white figure within the layer of spiritual aura was clearly a small white fox cub. One, two, three... five tails! Meng Qi was startled — had Su Junmo reached the Spirit Severing stage?

The cultivation level of the demon race was roughly similar to that of the humans. However, instead of having distinct stages, their cultivation base was categorized into ranks: first rank, second rank, and so on.

That little white fox was a primordial spirit unique to the demon race. Said to be born from the spiritual sea upon breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage, a primordial spirit was said to be connected to its master on the soul level, just like human cultivators' natal magic weapons.

Once the demon cultivator reached the Spirit Severing stage — that is, the fifth rank in the demon cultivation system — the primordial spirit would be able to leave the spiritual sea and assist its master in a battle, just like what Su Junmo was doing at this moment.

Only when this primordial spirit was brought into the stage would the true power of a demon cultivator be unleashed. It was said that a demon cultivator and a human cultivator with the same cultivation base were comparable to one another up to the Nascent Soul stage, sans a huge difference in talent. However, once they both reached the Spirit Severing stage and the demon cultivator was able to utilize their primordial spirit on the battlefield, the human cultivator would hardly be their opponent.

Dozens of thoughts passed through Meng Qi's mind in just but a moment. Meanwhile, Su Junmo began to wave his hand.

"Heaven and earth net!" He shouted. Blue light exploded from his body, morphing into a huge net slowly descending mid-air. The five-tailed white fox next to Su Junmo began to dash upward. For each step it took, the fox's body flickered, turning into multiple copies of itself.

In just a blink of an eye, one fox turned into ten, ten turned into one hundred, and soon, countless little white foxes rushed towards the sky, as if chasing after the red lotus flames.

Su Junmo's foxes then charged toward the swarm of snow fang bees. Some of the bees that managed to avoid Su Junmo's net were bitten, smacked, and chased relentlessly by them.

"Natal primodial spirit..." Sikong Xing stared at the white figures in the sky and muttered dumbfoundedly, "How amazing!"

Sikong Xing's cultivation base had yet to reach the fifth rank, and although she had successfully formed a natal primordial spirit, she was still unable to release it in battle.
