"Petrification Spell."
In Wen Ping’s mind, the image of the Petrification Spell surfaced immediately.
This spell could petrify people; anyone hit by this spell would become as rigid as an object, requiring matured Mandrake—a special medicinal herb shaped like a baby—to lift the spell.
"This seems more dominating than Wind’s Shackles."
Wen Ping made a mental comparison.
Wind’s Shackles could imprison foes across realms, but has a time limit.
Petrification Spell has no time limit!
If there’s no way to lift it, then basically it’s a dead end.
Looking at it this way, Petrification Spell was indeed far more domineering than Wind’s Shackles.
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded, "Theoretically, it’s more domineering, but only at full proficiency. With full proficiency, release speed is swift. Currently, the mastering of the Petrification Spell has its constraints when compared to Wind’s Shackles—one is limited, the other not. The limitation of Petrification Spell is low hit difficulty, as realm height increases, speed becomes pivotal, and the magical energy may not hit it. Therefore, the best release strategy ought to be sneak attacks."
"I understand."
Like the Vein Technique, timing is crucial.
If the timing is right.
A Petrification Spell can be more fearsome than Wind’s Shackles!
After all, he doesn’t have a way to lift it now, let alone people outside.
Those hit by the Petrification Spell will only face death.
Ending his dialogue with the system, Wen Ping turned to Huai Ye, cautioning, "If you aim to cultivate the Petrification Spell, strive to cultivate its proficiency. A higher proficiency renders swift release. Otherwise, at the current speed, it can only attack enemies unexpectedly. Oh, avoid using this spell on your companions; it’s quite troublesome to relieve the petrified state."
The Mandrake herb for lifting petrification isn’t easy to obtain.
Huai Ye nodded, hurriedly bowing in gratitude, "Huai Ye understands. Thank you, Sect Leader, for your teachings. I won’t use the Petrification Spell on my peers."
After speaking, she instinctively glanced at Yang Lele.
Yang Lele shivered instantly.
Bitterness bubbled up within.
Darn!
Hereafter, if he dares to provoke Huai Ye again, he must think twice.
At least until a solution for the Petrification Spell is found, he shouldn’t antagonize Huai Ye.
After a few reminders, Wen Ping, in good spirits, no longer bothered with unnecessary chat, waving his hand, "Get on with what you should."
...
During the same night, above East Lake appeared a winged Giant Demon, a hundred feet in width, from the Wing Race.
After the Dragon God Sect incident, the Immortal Sect’s reputation soared; many aspired to join, but the long and arduous path demanded strength.
Post the Dragon God Sect’s annihilation, this first exploring team targeted East Lake Immortal Sect.
However, this squad seemed different.
There wasn’t a single person!
All were demons.
Led by two hundred-foot Wing Race Demon Kings, followed by some smaller demons, not so gigantic.
Amazingly, the leading giant flying several thousand meters high, yet along the path, all further demons bowed!
As if they greeted the Demon Emperor!
