Chapter 1460: Earth Wind and Flying Sand Curse

2. Cooling time

Each time you use the Flying Swallow Slash skill, there will be a cooldown period. You cannot use this skill again during the cooldown period. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the timing and target selection when using it.

3. Consume resources

Performing the Flying Swallow Slash consumes a large amount of magic power and special materials (such as wind crystals, etc.). If the resources are insufficient, the skill cannot be continuously performed or the skill effect will be affected. Therefore, you must ensure that the resources are sufficient and be fully prepared before using it.

[Golden Spirit Beast Taming Spell Skill Stone (Purple)]: Made from the secret talismans of the ancient Beast Taming Sect and the essence of Gengjin, it contains the supreme spell that can enlighten all beasts and control the spirits of the metal element. This stone is full of sharp white gold light, and it feels like touching cold iron. It contains the terrifying power to penetrate flesh and blood and control fierce beasts. The holder of this stone will comprehend the domineering spell that uses the power of the gold spirit to directly strike the core of the beast soul, making all beasts bow down and serve as your claws.

[Source]: The Golden Spirit Beast Taming Mantra Skill Stone was born in the core forbidden area of ​​the "Ancient Beast Taming Sect" that has long been lost in the dust of history - the "Golden Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts". Legend has it that this cave is the place where the evil spirit of the gold element of heaven and earth and the essence of the beasts meet. The sect's great powers used supreme secret methods to extract the origin of the gold evil and the essence of the powerful beast souls. After thousands of years, only a few pieces were condensed. This stone is regarded as one of the supreme inheritances of the Beast Taming Sect. Only the core disciples who have a deep understanding of the laws of the gold element and whose souls are as tough as iron are qualified to try to refine it.

【Features and capabilities】：

1. Master the Golden Spirit Beast Taming Spell: After refining this skill stone, the user will immediately know how to cast the "Golden Spirit Beast Taming Spell". This spell is not a group summoning, but a powerful individual attack and control skill against a single powerful beast target.

2. Golden Soul Thorn (Core Attack): The user locks onto a single animal target, condenses the magic power of the gold element and the power of the soul in the body, and transforms it into an invisible and sharp "golden soul thorn". This thorn ignores most physical defenses and low-level energy shields, and directly hits the target's animal soul core (the source of spiritual wisdom or the spiritual center). A successful hit will cause severe soul tearing pain and mental shock, instantly disintegrating the target's fighting will and resistance ability.

3. Gengjin Soul-Locking Chain (Control Effect): While the Golden Soul Thorn severely injures the target beast soul, the power of the spell will materialize into several "soul-locking chains" composed of pure Gengjin Qi, which will entangle and nail into the target's soul essence. This chain not only causes continuous, deep soul pain (continuous damage), but also forcibly suppresses the target's violent wildness, causing it to fall into a short-term "forced taming" or "deep shock" state. During this period, the target's actions are sluggish, and it has an instinctive fear and obedience tendency towards the caster.

4. Beast Taming Mark (Potential Control/Weakening): If the target's beast soul fails to break free in time after being hit by the "Golden Spirit Soul Piercing Thorn" and "Genjin Soul Locking Chain" or is overwhelmed by the caster, the remaining gold spirit power of the spell will leave an indelible "Beast Taming Gold Mark" deep in its beast soul. This mark will continue to weaken the target's ferocity and will to resist (permanently reduce its aggressiveness, wildness and hostility towards the caster), and greatly increase the caster's success rate in taming, enslaving or signing a contract with the target. During the existence of the mark, the caster can more clearly perceive the target's status and location.

[Note]: The Golden Spirit Beast Taming Curse is extremely powerful and directly strikes the origin of the soul. Its use contains huge risks and ethical considerations.

Soul Backlash: If the soul strength of the caster is far lower than that of the target, or the target beast soul contains special protection (such as ancient bloodline, spiritual protection secret treasure), the "Golden Soul Piercing Thorn" may be rebounded or resisted, causing the caster's own soul to suffer severe damage. In mild cases, the caster may suffer from mental depression and splitting headaches. In severe cases, the soul may be damaged, the realm may fall, and the caster may even become stupid.

Erosion of Will: If this spell is frequently cast against powerful and ferocious beasts, the caster must constantly resist the erosion of his or her mind by the target's remaining violent animality and murderous intent. If he or she is not careful, he or she may be assimilated by the animality and become cold-blooded and bloodthirsty.

Neither Benevolent nor Virtuous: This spell is essentially a tyrannical technique that forcibly suppresses and enslaves the will of living beings, which is contrary to the concept of natural harmony or equal contract. Abuse of this technique may lead to collective hatred of the spirit beast tribe, disgust of the spirits of nature, and even trigger unpredictable karma of divine punishment.

Target limitation: This spell is only effective against biological targets such as beasts, demons, and divine beasts that possess souls and intelligence. It is ineffective against undead spirits, elemental creatures, puppets, or pure energy bodies.

[Water Source Spell Skill Stone (Purple)]: A secret treasure from the Endless Abyss and the Lost Water Palace, it contains the original water spirit that is extremely cold and can annihilate life. This stone is formed by the fusion of the core of ten thousand years of black ice and billions of annihilated water souls. It is the forbidden key that controls the end of the flow of life and summons the water of annihilation. Possessing it means gaining the terrifying power to make all things return to silence and deprive them of the source of life.

[Source]: The Water Source Spell Skill Stone is said to have been born in the "Eye of Guixu" at the beginning of the era. It is the ultimate destination of all water flows and the embodiment of the will of annihilation of water. It is not a blessing from the gods, but the product of the accidental combination of part of its origin and the power of Guixu after the ancient water gods failed to fight against the will of annihilation, and was lost in the deepest part of the deep sea or the ancient aquatic ruins. Only those who can bear the pain of the passing of life and understand the true meaning of the ultimate extinction of water can perceive and bear its power.

【Features and capabilities】：

1. Master the Water Source Spell: After fusing this skill stone, the user will instantly know the forbidden spell "Water Source Spell". No lengthy chanting is required, only the mind can be used to control the surrounding water elements or condense the cursed water containing the power of annihilation out of thin air to launch a fatal attack.

2. Tide of Mass Annihilation: The core of the Water Source Spell is its indiscriminate, wide-area mass annihilation effect. When the spell is activated, the target area will be covered by a deep, sticky, deadly cursed water field. All life forms (or energy bodies) in it, regardless of their number or distribution, will be eroded by the cursed water and deprived of their lives at the same time.

3. Vitality Deprivation (Destroy Core): The cursed water is not a physical impact, but directly acts on the "water source" of life or energy (the origin of life, the energy core). It can ignore most physical and energy defenses, forcibly penetrate, freeze and extract the vitality and energy source in the target's body, causing fundamental damage. The cursed person will feel the vitality rapidly fading, the body function rapidly declining, and the energy flow stagnating or even collapsing.

4. Nirvana (Continuous Withering): The target hit by the Water Source Submergence Curse will have its wound or energy core deeply stained by the cursed water, leaving a difficult-to-eliminate "Nirvana Mark". This mark is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, continuously devouring vitality and disintegrating the energy structure, causing continuous damage that cannot be healed naturally (withering effect), and greatly weakening the target's recovery ability, defense and energy limit. Only the purest yang purification power or powerful life source spells can try to dispel this mark.

[Note]: The Water Source Spell Skill Stone contains the most dangerous Law of Water Annihilation in the world. The cost and risk of using it are far beyond the ordinary. Casting this spell not only consumes a huge amount of magic power, but also draws on the user's own vitality and spiritual will as fuel. Those with weak minds or insufficient vitality are very likely to be backfired by the will of annihilation during the casting process. In the mildest case, their vitality will be greatly damaged and their life span will be sharply reduced. In the worst case, their soul will be frozen and their vitality will be cut off, turning into part of the cursed water. This spell is too overbearing and insidious. Everything within the range will wither. It must be used for real great evil or life and death situations, and extreme concentration must be maintained when casting the spell to prevent losing control and causing irreversible suffering to lives.

【limit】 :

1. Use threshold: To fuse and drive the Water Source Life Spell Skill Stone, the user is required to have a very deep affinity with water, strong mental strength, and a deep understanding of the laws of life and death (the cultivation level required is extremely high). For those who have insufficient total magic power or whose life source is not strong enough, forcibly trying to fuse or cast spells is equivalent to suicide.

2. Long Cooldown: Casting the Water Source Spell will severely disturb the Water Annihilation Law. After each successful casting, the skill stone will enter an extremely long cooldown period (much longer than the Fire Rain skill stone). During this period, not only can the spell not be used again, but the user's own water magic recovery will also be severely suppressed.

3. Harsh consumption: Activating the Water Source Birth Spell not only requires tremendous magic power, but also consumes a special medium containing the original water spirit or the breath of extinction.

[Earth Wind Flying Sand Spell Skill Stone (Purple)]: The symbiotic crystallization of the ancient sand soul and the breath of the hurricane, carrying the power of the quicksand that annihilates civilization. This stone was born in the "Burial City Ruins" deep in the endless desert, and was condensed after a thousand-year sandstorm devoured ninety-nine ancient cities. The heart of the stone seals the symbiotic soul core of the Sand Giant and the Wind Demon. The wielder will awaken the Yellow Spring Sandstorm that buries civilization.

【source】

Legend has it that it was formed from the disintegrated left eye of the ancient "God of Sand Erosion" when he fell, and is buried deep under the moving sea of ​​sand in the "Quicksand King's Tomb". Only a sorcerer who draws a sacrificial array with the blood of nine sand scorpions and stays awake for three days in the sandstorm on a night with two moons overlapping can cause the ruins to appear. Those who touch the skill stone must endure the pain of the sand soul devouring their bodies - if the soul is not assimilated by the sand, they can gain the authority of desolation.

【Features and Abilities】

1. Burial City Sandstorm:

When activated, press the ground with both palms to cause the ancient sand deep in the earth veins to gush out. A rotating sandstorm area is instantly formed within a radius of 100 meters. Each grain of flying sand contains armor-breaking gale, which continuously tears apart all targets within the range. The afterimage of the ancient city is hidden in the sandstorm, and those swallowed will suffer the double blow of physical crushing and soul erosion.

2. Mass annihilation:

Thirty-six thousand "quicksand touches" are generated in the sandstorm area, automatically searching for enemies and attacking. Dense sand blades form a strangling network, causing continuous cutting damage to group targets regardless of defense. After the sand and dust penetrate into the seven orifices, it will cause suffocation judgment - if the cultivation level is lower than that of the caster, the internal organs will turn into sand.

3. Bone-Eroding Sand Poison:

Those injured by the sand blade will be infected with the "Desolate Corrosion", and crystallized sand will seep out of the wound. Each grain of sand poison continuously extracts life essence and transforms it into sand dust, forming sandworm parasites (sandworms randomly drill out of the injured part and bite it). This state can only be eliminated by washing with spiritual springs nine times.
