CHAPTER 384 CONFIRM THE OWNER
Meanwhile, Uriah, Rainbow Glow Unicorn, and Ghostly Ice Fox-wolf surrounded Rocky and Rubygon
under the old towering tree in the forest just outside the Myriad Beasts Ground. They were on high Content held by .
alert, looking around cautiously just like the guards.
Rocky placed his hand on Rubygon's forehead, and both of them started to glow. Countless light-spots
whirled around the two, encasing them in a bright cocoon of spiritual power.
Rocky and Rubygon were performing the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill where the spiritual
sense coursing through Rocky entered Rubygon's body. The last step in fulfilling the spiritual power
connection was to carve a brand into Rubygon's spiritual source.
Because of this powerful spiritual bond, Rocky was able to enter a fantastic world created by
Rubygon's body. His spiritual sense was presented in a tiny human form, just like a cell.
Flickering light-spots shuffled back and forth which made Rocky feel like he was in a high-tech
psychedelic cosmos, the sphere of lights speeding around him. The luminescent macrocosm was from
the spiritual source, which made spirit-manipulated beasts like Rubygon one of a kind.
The spiritual source gave spirit-manipulated beasts special abilities. The light-spots created by the
spiritual source intricately connected the spirit-manipulated beasts to their power. This connection
made spirit-manipulated beasts vulnerable whenever the light-spots or even the spiritual source was
harmed.
The light-spots looked soft and inviting as they fully pulsated with strong spiritual power. Touching the
light-spots would have made Rocky's spiritual sense shake, which could potentially hurt him fatally. It
was also the most dangerous risk spirit manipulators took when using the spiritual power to connect
with spirit-manipulated beasts.
One way of reaching the spiritual source was through Spirit Possession with a spirit-manipulated beast
that had confirmed its owner. Another way was to use the spiritual power to build a bridge. The latter
one was suited for any spirit-manipulated beast, but the process was very dangerous. There was a
narrow and dire single-plank bridge visible through the dense light-spots under Rocky.
The single-plank bridge to the spiritual source was created by Rocky's spiritual power. He had a grim
look on his face as he walked on the plank, for he knew it would be the end of him if the bridge broke. It
was also the only thing obstructing Rocky from advancing the spiritual power connection.
In order not to break the bridge, spirit manipulators needed not only strong spiritual power, but skills
and patience as well. Rushing would have made the bridge too thin while going too slow would have
overburdened it. It required steadiness and the perfect balance.
Rocky spent two months practicing to enable himself to create the bridge towards the spiritual source
and had been at risk several times before. 'No pain, no gain, ' he thought. The bridge created by
Rocky's spiritual power now was extremely perfect. Unless he lost focus, he would succeed.
The only thing Rocky needed to concentrate on was creating the bridge patiently. Because he had
never succeeded before, he did not know how long the process would take.
As time slowly ticked by, Rocky painstakingly realized that this was the longest waiting time he had
ever experienced in his life.
Then, the light-spots around Rocky seemed to be denser and its spiritual power was becoming more
and more strong as well, which even flickered like current.
'Maybe I am almost done.' Rocky thought to himself. As long as he reached the spiritual source and
finished carving the brand, he could finish the first stage of Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill.
Furthermore, Rubygon would confirm him as the owner, becoming Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast. It
was the most fascinating thing that the ritual could achieve. However, carving a brand in the spiritual
source of other spirit-manipulated beasts required a great deal of bravery. A task that even Sheridan
failed at.
'Yes, Sheridan was more than eager to do so. He failed because it was extremely difficult to carve
brand in the spiritual source of spirit-manipulated beasts without the owner.'
Rocky soon realized as he got nearer to the spiritual source. Suddenly, the spiritual power created by
the light-spots crashed into each other, forming a strong spiritual power storm. It made the bridge
shake and crumble as if it would break at any time.
Rocky looked grim with resolve. Although he could still back out, he did not want to do so. He would not
allow this chance to pass him by.
Hence, he did not hesitate in speeding up the coagulation of spiritual power and rushed to the spiritual
source.
After a while, he saw a giant photosphere shining like the sun and surrounded by innumerable light-
spots. It gave off irresistible spiritual power just like the reactor.
'It was the spiritual source of Rubygon!'
The spiritual source was in front of Rocky, nevertheless the bridge had broken, constantly stricken by
the spiritual power storm. Rocky was threatened to fall.
Without hesitation, Rocky did his best to get close to the spiritual source. If he failed, he would be
swallowed by the power of the luminous sphere. This was a race, not only with time, but with death as
well.
He couldn't give up now!
The bridge was still disconnecting. Almost every spiritual power created by Rocky's steps quickly
dissipated after it just formed.
At the same time, the spiritual source was almost within his reach.
The bridge eventually broke, and Rocky fell down defenselessly. The churning ocean of strong spiritual
power underneath could swallow him up easily.
Rocky's life was in danger!
'I can do it!' he told himself. As he opened his eyes, several strands of black spiritual power wrapped
him completely like numerous creeping branches.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of angelic black wings appeared behind Rocky. It saved him from falling
into the turbulent spiritual power beneath and brought him up close to the spiritual source.
'Be my spirit-manipulated beast!' Rocky yelled in his heart, raising his hand with black Evil Flame and
pressing it on the shining spiritual source.
At that moment, the black Evil Flame enveloped the whole spiritual source.
