Chapter 303 Duct Beast
However, there was no need for Ezra to take such measures. His strength alone was enough, none of his subordinates managed to arrive, he was also an exception, he could only trust his own back in the reservoir
"We should also find a spot for ourselves and find out how to search for the Duct Creation Energy." Ezra smiled at the two cubs on his shoulders.
Spiritual energy rose from under Ezra\'s feet, the cloud moved and took him in a random direction
The energy reservoir was extremely vast, with numerous giant heaven pillar-like mountains towering within it. These giant peaks were akin to the tall walls of a stronghold, leaving one no choice but to make long detours, making the reservoir an enormous maze.
The prince flew for half an hour before gradually slowing down. He found a valley next to the reservoir waters and landed in it.
On a rock next to the water, he stretched out his hand to test its temperature.
"This place is not bad. Ezra, you\'ll have to become one of the rankers so that you\'ll receive a personal portion of the energy reservoir. Then you\'ll be able to come here whenever you want a bath."
The prince sighed. "So the biggest benefit of becoming one of the rankers for me is to come here for a bath? Yeah, sure. As for now, I\'ll go inside the reservoir to have a look." the prince was clearly somewhat eager as he cast his gaze towards the misty mysterious sea.
Ezra did not delay, leaping directly into the waters. Once he entered, he felt his body grow heavier, as if he had jumped into a swamp.
"The waters of the reservoir originate from that Mountain Duct, and hence contain a natural pressure that makes it extremely heavy. It\'s going to be very taxing on my spiritual energy to swim inside it." Ezra Zephyr was already prepared. With a thought, the Chaos Force in his core whizzed out and wrapped around his body with a loud thundering clap.
"Mhm!" The moment his spiritual energy appeared, the prince\'s eyes widened in amazement. In that split second earlier, he had felt the pressure from the water weaken substantially.
The feeling of heaviness also vanished, making him feel as if he was a fish in water.
"What\'s going on?" This unforeseen situation kind of confused Ezra. He had not heard Mubarak mention anything about this. To think that spiritual energy would have the power to block the pressure from the Mountain Duct.
The prince frowned as he fell into deep thought even Fenri was currently answerless. It was a long time later before he looked towards the black lightning swirling around him his heart trembled a little.
"Could it be… because my spiritual energy is not Qi nor Mana but Force, a type of spiritual belonging to Martial Animals?"
Not only that, Ezra\'s spiritual energy exists after devouring countless types of spiritual energies, not even Ezra fully knew the wonders of his spiritual energy.
This was the only conjuncture Ezra had come up with. If not, he could not explain why the pressure from the energy reservoir did not affect him.
In the end, to get himself tied up over such details, especially since it was a good thing for him anyways. Without the pressure, his spiritual energy consumption in the reservoir would be far less than the others, giving him a huge advantage.
With such thoughts in mind, Ezra decided not to tarry any longer. His figure moved, swiftly swimming towards the depths of the reservoir.
As he swam deeper, he discovered the presence of a faint mist inside the reservoir. Fortunately, he could still have his bearings due to his high senses.
After swimming for a long time, Ezra\'s body suddenly paused, because he had felt a faint wave. It came from under some giant boulders below him.
His figure gradually descended, landing on one of the boulders, and stomped on it with one of his feet. The boulder immediately shattered as a thumb-sized ball of light slowly began to rise.
The prince grabbed it and curiously uncurled his fingers.
A thumb-sized white crystal floated on his palm, a drop of golden liquid inside it. The liquid appeared to be extremely viscous, slowly squirming about as if it was alive while giving off peculiar undulations.
"Is this the Duct Creation Energy?" Ezra observed the drop of viscous fluid. If he was not wrong, it should be the most important item for the Divine Spirit Ablution, the Duct Creation Energy.
"But this is a little too diluted." the prince awkwardly scratched his head. According to Mubarak, even the lowest path of ablution would require at least several dozen drops of Duct Creation Energy. Ezra retrieved a bottle from his bracelet and placed the energy inside.
However, while the prince was engaged in this task, the water behind him rippled faintly. A faint silhouette stealthily crept out from the rocks as a somewhat translucent 100 feet look beast appeared behind him.
The beast\'s eyes greedily stared at Ezra\'s figure, as if it was looking at something delicious. Next, it opened its giant mouth and lunged towards the prince.
~SWISSH~
The moment the creature moved, a bluish slash wrapped with black lightning cleaved through the water, bringing with it astonishing slicing power as it instantaneously cut the beast\'s head.
Ezra turned around and gazed at the somewhat translucent giant beast. "Is this the duct beast born from the energy of that Mountain Duct?" The prince observed the heavily injured creature that was still desperately struggling.
It was about 100 feet long, and the prince estimated its strength to be at the 2nd level Core Formation stage.
However, Ezra was slightly taken aback when he saw its eyes because he realised that it was staring at him with extreme desire, still continuously opening its mouth to bite at him, as if itching to swallow him
