Chapter 1656 Make Sure You Avoid Them

  Celis’s words were right. Somewhere else, Roan’s group was being assaulted by some kind of pollen that drained Soul Power. “This thing is quite annoying.”

However, Roan was doing better than the others since his Soul Power was fused with his Divine Energy. Thanks to that, he wasn’t too badly affected.

Krikei, as the one with the highest Soul Power among them, was having a much harder time. “Arrgh! It doesn’t matter what I do. I can’t keep this pollen away from me. It’s as if they’re following me.”

He wasn’t wrong. The pollen seemed to gather around the participants who had the highest concentration of Soul Power. In the end, having strong Soul Power in the Soul Land doesn’t always mean a good thing.

Roan also tried to get rid of the pollen, and his Dark Element could more or less do so. However, there was way too much for him to take care of. Even with the battle formation and Celis recovering Divine Energy, it would be impossible for him to keep fending it off forever. “It’s just another obstacle. Try to use as little Soul Power as possible and have Vrie carry you. That should make things easier.”

Krikei nodded and immediately jumped on Vrie’s back. Vrie, as the sole demon beast in the group, had the smallest Soul Power among them all. Thanks to that, the pollen barely gathered on him. “Roan, Lita, you two should jump on my back as well. Use your Soul Power in case some other obstacle appears, or something else attacks us. Leave the movement to me since I’m the least affected here.”

Roan and Lita agreed with Vrie’s plan and jumped on his back. Vrie, who was in his Silver-eyed Black Tarantula form, shot his webs everywhere. He then used them to move through the field and tried to avoid the places with the highest concentration of pollen. Since his webs were just his natural ability, they weren’t affected by the Soul Land. Well, they would be useless to stop any Soul Power attack as well. That’s why he told Roan and the others to deal with anything that might appear.

The Dimensional Realm itself wasn’t that big. If Kentucky was able to fly in a straight line, he would reach the end in just three hours. However, it was anything but that for all the groups. Rean’s group, of course, wasn’t doing any better.

*bang, bang, bang!*

*Arrgh!*

Erla suddenly screamed in pain as something that looked like a spear came out of her body. 

”Erla!” Min immediately stopped and grabbed Erla.

Rean narrowed before shouting, “Break!”

*crack, crack, crack…*

*Shatter!*

Using his Divine Soul Power, Rean destroyed the spear, leaving only a hole behind. ‘Just what the hell is happening here?’

Habac bitterly smiled as he hurried his group. ‘Just keep running. This is the materialization of Soul Power Weapons. I don’t know how they do it, but the Soul Power Weapon can literally materialize inside one’s body. Once that happens, what happened to Erla can happen to any of us.’

’Wait!’ Min asked. “Erla can’t move straight away. This spear materialized close to her Demon Core. Her meridians got affected. She needs time to recover.” 

’Don’t worry. Just carry Erla on your back.’ Rean hurried Min as well. ‘Don’t forget that I’m here.’

Min then remembered Rean’s healing powers and immediately nodded. ‘Alright!’ All those words were exchanged with Divine Sense Messages, so they happened almost instantly.

’Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!’

As they ran, Erla’s injury began to close up at fast speeds. However, the weapon materialization wouldn’t stop just because Rean was working on Erla.

*Argh!*

Another one, this time a Soul Power Saber, appeared out of nowhere inside Habac’s leg. Fortunately, it appeared in a mostly vertical position, so Habac’s leg wasn’t cut off by that. “Fuck this shit!” He immediately used his own Soul Power to drive his Divine Energy and attacked the saber, destroying it, just like Rean did with the spear.

”I’ll heal you in a second. Can you hold on?” Rean said, concerned.

”Hmph!” Habac steeled his resolve. “I’ve seen all of this shit before. These materializations are definitely dangerous. However, they will never materialize inside one’s vital points like the neck, head, heart, or dantian and demon core.” Once the saber was destroyed, it dissolved into Soul Power again, so the injury itself was pretty much clean. Habac simply drove his Divine Energy into his body with his Soul Power to stop the bleeding. “I can hold it for as long as I need.”

Rean quickly finished with Erla before moving to Habac. Unfortunately, he was the next one as a half-moon blade pierced through his chest from inside, quite close to his heart. Normally, it would open up a hole that would make most cultivators stop straight away. Well, Rean wasn’t just anyone. His Third Grade Star Body wasn’t at Kentucky’s level, but not too far off. Because of that, the half-moon blade itself couldn’t materialize completely. Only a third of it took form before it couldn’t push aside Rean’s flesh and bones anymore. “Break!”

Rean wasn’t going to wait for it to keep trying, of course. He immediately used his own Divine Soul Power to destroy that blade. At the same time, he finally understood what was happening. ‘So that’s how it is…’

Rean focused on his own injury first when suddenly, he grabbed Habac’s shoulder and pulled him aside. As soon as he did that, a weapon that looked like a huge shuriken appeared right where he was a fraction of a second ago. The shuriken then simply fell to the ground and transformed back into Soul Power a moment later. “This…”

’Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!’

He also took the chance to heal Habac’s leg as he used his Divine Sense to explain, ‘Divine Energy! Use your Soul Scan not to look for physical things. Instead, use it to look for Divine Energy. A few spots around us have a very tiny and almost imperceptible amount of concentrated Divine Energy. They’re all moving too. It’s very hard to notice, but they’re there. Divine Energy is ethereal, so it can pass through our bodies without a problem. When our bodies pass through them, they transform into Soul Power Weapons. Make sure you avoid them.’
