Chapter 434
Chapter 434
All the warriors present in the valleys were alarmed. As long as they were in the Nirvana Realm, their Sea of Consciousness became chaotic, and they couldn’t control it. Their thought was pressed by some strange force.
Eventually, the evil lair arrived at the Spirit Potion Valley.
Members of the Dark Spirit Clan slowly walked out from the green light. They were like a cloud of grasshoppers overflowing towards the two valleys.
The strange, evil energy attacked first!
The souls of the warriors who had their Sea of Consciousness affected flickered like a dying candle. The power of their entire body was restrained.
Nearly one thousand members of the Dark Spirit Clan swarmed over the two valleys, attempting to slaughter.
“Ready to fight!” Ferrell shouted, “We have to defend. Or else, everybody has to die! We need to resist for half a day and the rescue team will come! True God Realm warriors will help us! Everybody, we have to hold on until the end!”
Neville, Ferrell, Linus and other Spirit rank warriors assigned their people to put forth everything to withstand and defended.
Meanwhile the overbearing and evil green energy continued to attack them.
Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan started their invasion, officially entering the two valleys! The bloody war has begun!
The weakest members of the Dark Spirit Clan had Sky Realm cultivation base. Their soul power consisted of many kinds of strange, evil energies. Right when they got in, they started to use the erosive soul power that they understood the best to attack the warriors in the valleys.
Warriors with Sea of Consciousness would be affected immediately as their powers would be oppressed wholly.
On the contrary, warriors whose realms were lower than the Nirvana Realm were unaffected by the green energy. They could still use their powers. However, warriors in such realms had limited powers. The clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan didn’t need to use the erosive soul energy to kill them.
The situation gradually favored one side.
Members of the Dark Spirit Clan had gained the upper hand right when they arrived at the valleys. They all looked cold and sinister, with intimidating power. They souls seemed not to have a split. Shortly after they had entered the valleys, dozens of warriors were killed.
Whenever a warrior died, his soul didn’t scatter, but was dragged into the dead souls’ evil lair.
The dead souls’ evil lair was like a soul-devouring beast that opened its giant bloody mouth to swallow the souls. After it had taken in one soul, the evil energy emitted from it seemed to be increased a bit.
Strong warriors of the Dark Spirit Clan jumped in and entangled Ferrell, Neville and the others.
Although Ferrell, Linus and other top experts from seven factions had the Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base and countless secret techniques, under the attack of the Dark Spirit Clan, they still struggled hard, revealing many shortcomings.
Within fifteen minutes, the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley had lost one-third of their warriors.
The ones who remained were all the strong warriors of the Radiant God Cult, the Devil Valley, and the Pure Land. Because of the treasures, profound techniques, and their will of steel, they were able to endure in the battle with the Dark Spirit Clan.
“Run!”
Fifteen minutes ago, Ferrell and others told everybody to be persistent in defending. But now, they ordered to retreat almost at the same time.
Warriors who were still alive all ran away, using their max speed to leave the two valleys.
The dead souls’ evil lair approached deliberately, hovering above the two valleys. Rings of evil green energy rippled densely like shower covering the two valleys.
Human warriors retreated disorderly, didn’t dare to engage in battle with the Dark Spirit Clan anymore. They used their technique to flee away despite hurting their limbs. They just wanted to get away from this troublesome land as fast as possible.
The streak of blood light flashed as human warriors used the treasures to run away from the two valleys.
Members of the Dark Spirit Clan spread out from the two valleys, chasing after those who ran away.
A great rout!
Warriors in the valleys couldn’t stand even half an hour, fleeing away, leaving almost one thousand bodies in the valleys. There were no living people in the two valleys now.
A part of the Dark Spirit Clan pursued the run-away, and the others stayed to search through the stores to collect something.
The Dead Soul Mountain range became a hunting ground where mankind was the prey
….
Leylin who was cultivating strenuously in the Precious Tool Valley obviously knew all about the onslaught outside.
He was one of the first people to be aware of the incoming force, but obviously he didn’t care.
None of the pagan tribe members were True God Realm experts, and with his expertise in soul he wasn’t afraid of them so he didn’t leave immediately but stayed in the Dead Soul Mountain to investigate.
Inside his secluded cultivation room, Leylin has built various arrays and formation which disguised his presence while he carefully observed the situation outside.
In these past months Leylin was concentrating on comprehending the mysteries of Teleportation Formation, trying his best to learn how to use the space power.
While he divulged in the research more and more, his understanding of the Teleportation Formation became deeper.
Inside the mysterious space of Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success, countless nodes were blinking inside the arrangement of the Teleport Formation. He gradually learned each part of it.
Countless symbols crossed his head. Some kind of understanding started to grow, multiply, and flood his brain as he was devotedly learning them all.
Leylin with his already high cultivation base, help of A. I. chip to record and analyse the formation as well as previous experience of Space power of real body had an easier time understanding the space upanishads.
‘I really gained big this time, *sigh* and was probably just a bit away from reaching Second Sky of Spirit Realm but these nuisance won’t stop pestering me. What a man gotta do to cultivate in silence.’ Leylin sighed, but he wasn’t very concerned. Unlike the inhabitants of Dead Soul Mountain, there is a simple solution to this problem for him. Just bail and go somewhere else!
Leylin has no hesitation to leave those above in misery, it’s not as if he owes them any favour.
‘Well before going, I should probably test out my new powers. The best way to evaluate yourself is to exert your prowess.”
Leylin smirked with a playful smile and all of a sudden, soul consciousness embedded with mysterious space power jumped out like a beam of light.
Flows of Soul Consciousness scattered in that stream of light. He used his consciousness as the route to cross the array like a shuttle to find deeper meanings.
Inside the cultivation room, space around Leylin suddenly twisted.
Space slits as thin as paper appeared around him, constantly swaying and twisting like snakes swimming. Multi-colored light emerged from the space slits.
Flows of bizarre space energy released from the space slits, entering his Sea of Consciousness, fusing with each strand of his Soul Consciousness.
The space slits around him widened, as big as a willow leaf. The power that twisted the space expanded from Leylin as the center.
“Hope you enjoy my gift. Its nothing personal, I am just checking.” Leylin thought as he commanded his soul consciousness. The evil lair that had arrived in the Dead Soul Mountain obviously is some type of secret plane, Leylin could feel dreadful dead beings wailing inside it.
Leylin was rather surprised knowing about these strange beings that people call Dark Spirit Clan.
Leylin has always kept surveillance outside and also came to know of the conversation between the top powerhouse, concerning the Dark Spirit Clan.
The Spirit Realm warriors from Pure Land and Radiant God Cult weren’t exactly hiding their conversation so Leylin was able to eavesdrop.
This type of information is obviously classified but with the pagans right before them and ready to invade Divine Land, it would soon become common knowledge.
Leylin can feel the fear brewing inside everyone hence he took a backseat and evaluate the situation up ahead. It’s just convenient that he had a breakthrough in his space powers and thought to test it out.
And what’s better to test his space power in the boundaries of the secret sealed plane like Evil lair and the Grace Mainland. Probably a stroll there can increase his understanding of the space upanishads.
The chaotic space of evil lair constantly barged by the Dark Spirit Clan members is a rare opportunity to carefully study the anomaly of ancient space formations
…
The dead souls’ evil lair suddenly twisted in the sky above the Spirit Potion Valley.
Members of the Dark Spirit Clan packing the place inside all felt fear when they looked at that change happening to the dead souls’ evil lair.
Space cracks similar to that around Leylin appeared near the dead souls’ evil lair.
Leylin’s soul consciousness created a strange connection with the dead souls’ evil lair. It seemed there was an invisible link between him and the evil lair via the space power that tied them together.
Space cracks opened around the evil lair as the dead souls’ evil lair was getting narrow.
Members of the Dark Spirit Clan gathered at the entrance of the cave were dismembered by the space blades, but they didn’t bleed.
More than ten pagans of the Dark Spirit Clan seemed to be cut off by numerous spaces. People then saw many limbs, heads, or even half a body in the entrance.
Their other halves or limbs seemed to stay in another space, which they could never find back.
All members of the Dark Spirit Clan panicked. They worriedly flew outside the entrance, trying to get the pagans in the entrance out.
The dead souls’ evil lairs were the space cracks that led to the foreign land. It was formed by numerous stable space cracks, built by experts of the previous generations of the Dark Spirit Clan. At this moment, the dead souls’ evil lairs were pushed by the new generations of the Dark Spirit Clan. They had used some secret techniques to break the space, combining five cracks into a big one.
They didn’t know that their deeds had made the evil lair extremely unstable.
Moreover, at the same time, Leylin who was studying the mysteries of the Teleportation Formation and Space power actively urged the space power to form a connection with the evil lair, which was also made from the space cracks not far from him. This caused another change.
Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan were flustered. Pagans who were collecting something in the two valleys also got back while screaming. They stood and observed the evil lair from afar. No pagan dared to come near the entrance. The others who were at the entrance were struggling hard to escape.
All members of the Dark Spirit Clan, with or without a body, tried to get out.
The dead souls’ evil lair stopped releasing the strange green energy.
The entrance of the evil lair shrank. Five-colored beams shot out, weaving in the entrance. Members of the Dark Spirit Clan who hadn’t escaped yet had their souls and bodies dragged into different space cracks under the twisting attack of the space blades.
Inside the cultivation chamber Leylin observed everything outside, as he was able to gain some inspiration and further explored the Blacksmith’s Secrets of Success.
In his Sea of Consciousness, flows of Sea Consciousness and the space power were fused. Each strand of Soul Consciousness seemed to have the aura of space power.
Gradually, his Soul Consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness seemed to turn into space slits too, appearing with a strange gloss.
At the same time, the dead souls’ evil lair above the Spirit Potion Valley had light flash in the entrance before it closed completely.
Leylin with a strand of his soul consciousness still remaining saw a vast area, where space seemed to be cut open by some kinds of sharp weapons, with many fine cracks.
This sea was dark green, and he couldn’t see where it ended. In the dark green soul sea, souls were floating around without the fluctuations of life. However, they had generated some kind of power that could urge the space power, which made the space slits shine like sharp sabers.
All of a sudden, from the bottom of the dark green sea, a flow of cold, evil will shot out. It seemed there was some sinister life that was swallowing all the energy of the bobbing souls to wake up.
Leylin’s soul consciousness was also affected, becoming weaker and faint, almost at the end of it’s existence.
It observed everything attentively and quietly. It then saw more hiding dead souls, which were attacking the space slit.
Sometimes, he could see one or two dead souls dragged into the dark green sea when it changed its position, or the twisting force around it disappeared.
Once the dead souls were pulled into the green sea, their auras disappeared instantly as their soul powers were snatched away. They became the stupefied dead souls in the quiet atmosphere of death.
The dark green sea was trying to swallow all dead souls to strengthen and enlarge itself!
After observing for a while, Leylin found the abnormal situation of this place, in which the dead souls were like lambs about to be slaughtered. This virescent sea had enslaved them.
Flows of gray soul shot out from the evil lair one by one, discharging into the green sea.
They were human warriors’ souls!
Another gray soul entered, also the soul of a human warrior. There were ten of them in total.
Once they fell into the dark green sea, those souls then soaked into the atmosphere of death. They went numb without any vitality left in them. Their soul powers then were taken.
When human souls were pulled into the place, the suction force of the sea would reduce. Sometimes, it released some sort of strange and evil energy, pouring into the dead souls and strengthening them.
This situation was bizarre…
This virescent sea would pull and swallow souls, including the dead souls! At the same time, it could release a green energy that could improve the power of the dead souls.
Leylon watched everything for a while but due to inability of perception he wasn’t able to truly understand the situation.
But it seemed the green sea needed a constant supply of soul energy. If the dead souls gave it enough souls, it would gift them some energy to repay.
But when it didn’t have enough the soul energy, it would swallow the dead souls to supplement the missing amount. It seemed the sea’s existence consumed soul power continually.
Soon Leylin’s connection with his soul consciousness broke and all the strands of Soul Consciousness he had released were destroyed or retreated back to him.
Leylin did actually suffered a few injuries but it wasn’t anything serious that he can’t fix with his all encompassesing sentinet force.
Leylin also gained more grounds in his space upanishads but he wasn’t happy or excited but instead musing about the last scene he witnessed
Before his soul consciousness was destroyed, he vaguely saw a giant shadow in the deep place under the dark green sea.
That shadow was like a living creature, a seabed demon, which released the cold, sinister thought that affected the aura of the whole foreign land and changed some rules of nature.
The silhouette of that strange creature appearance is he could saw because after that…
Boom!
The soul strand was eliminated, and Leylin’s host soul was struck hard. The connection with the foreign land stopped instantly.
“Well its not like I can do anything, anyway the evil lair’s entrance is closed and I did gain some inspiration.”
Leylin discarded the matter at the back of his head. The space slits were still wandering around him, he calmed down his emotions and used the Comprehending Spirit Change of the Spirit Realm, which depended on the host soul as the base to make another step in controlling and promoting power.
The entrance of the evil lair above the Spirit Potion Valley and Precious Tool Valley had been closed a long time ago. Now, it only had a green light shimmering. Space slits around it disappeared all of a sudden.
The dead souls’ evil lair closed. It was still there, but it was gradually shrinking until it looked like a green dot.
Under the fearful, attentive watch of many members of the Dark Spirit Clan, after the entrance was closed, the evil lair turned into a flickering green light dot, which seemed extremely unstable, as if it could disappear at any minute.
‘This feeling…’ Not so long after, Leylin’s eyes opened as he released his Soul Consciousness again. Flows of Soul Consciousness disregarded the space or distance, operating in every corner of the Dead Soul Mountain range.
His understanding of the space power reached a stage, greatly increased limited the distance that the Soul Consciousness could travel.
Flows of Soul Consciousness with space power were operating in the Dead Soul Mountain range. Now, his understanding of the situation in the region was much profound than anybody else.
He focused on perimeter of the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley.
After sometime, three silhouettes zoomed over and arrived at the valleys like lightning. They were two men and one woman. The two men were muscular and good-looking, while the woman had a veil to cover her face.
All three of them had a profound vision. Although they looked like they were in their middle ages, their real ages should be much greater than what appeared.
Leylin’s Soul consciousness didn’t detect the aura of any one of them nor see through their cultivation.
Strange!
Right when the three of them arrived, the Dark Spirit Clan was startled.
Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan saw the three appear, and started screaming in fear, looking at a spot of green light hovering above the two valleys.
It was the dead souls’ evil lair with its closed entrance.
The group of three then released waves of energy covering the entire sky and earth. The Dead Soul Mountain range seemed to tremble under the effect of that energy.
Some of the Dark Spirit Clan’s high-level members were urging some of their strong secret techniques, which shot out beams of green light into the dead souls’ evil lair, which had shrunk into a green spot.
The closed evil lair was forced to enlarge, as the crack appeared again.
A strange, evil green energy burst out from that cave entrance, covering the whole Dead Soul Mountain range, which could shake even the earth.
The group of two men and one woman slightly changed their faces. They looked at the cave entrance with serious face. No one knew what they were thinking.
At the same time, Leylin got the gist of the situation.
Light crossed his eyes as he took a deep breath.
True God Realm warriors!
“Three of them at the same time? I even spied on their actions, although it’s unlikely they could trace me who knows what these people are capable of. I need to go.” Leylin became focused as he immediately retreated, although Leylin has became exponentially powerful and isn’t afraid of anyone it doesn’t mean he is arrogant enough to face three True God Realm warriors.
Leylin knows of the extent of his personal ability, Leylin hasn’t had any opportunity to test out the utmost fighting prowess of a True God Realm warrior but from an educated guess it’s no less than a Radiant Moon Magus.
Leylin is keenly aware that even at his peak power with all of his Trump Cards he can mostly handle a First Sky of True God Realm warrior but the three warriors coming here are all at least Second Sky of True God realm not to mention all of them would most likely be leaders of seven factions holding many secret treasure and uncanny skills.
As long as he’s not at Third Sky of Spirit Realm, Leylin would prefer not to exchange blows with any of them. It’s not fear of fight but rather clairvoyance of the obvious outcome, it’s almost impossible to kill a True God Realm warrior.
Even if by some stroke of luck Leylin destroys their body, their soul altar which has developed into a God Soul can run away to either possess someone or reincarnate by entering a pregnant woman womb.
‘Why bother fighting with them, it’s not as if we have any clash of interest. Speaking of interest, what should I do now? Dead Soul Mountain is no more and I can feel that a huge calamity is going to befall the Divine Land or the whole Grace Mainland for that matter….. In situations like these, it’s best to draw things out as much as you can and strike when you are 100% ready.’
Leylin’s body vanished in the void and he retreated with an unbelievable speed. With his Radiant Moon Magus like physical attributes and the assistance of space power his speed isn’t that bad compared to Three True God Realm warriors.
…
Magus World
Adishesha Castle was now a mottled building, filled with a sense of history. It was the residence of many high-ranking Kemoyin Warlocks, as well as Leylin’s own bloodline.
*Rumble!* Suddenly from deep within the castle, in the inner most area where Leylin’s true body resided a gentle tremor erupted that shook the whole castle.
Having long since developed its own conscient, the castle automatically protected the Warlocks within. It didn’t allow a single person to be injured, and at the same time it transmitted an enormous sense of joy.
At the bottom of the laboratory. Leylin had long recovered from his injuries of splitting his truesoul into two parts, but he had been awaiting something else. He finally opened his eyes, and the strange phantom of a giant serpent slithered across his pupils.
“My plans over these many years, as well as the risk of splitting my soul… They have finally showed some path.” Leylin sighed. His true soul rapidly communicated with the A.I. Chip, and in an instant he had comprehended everything.
“The smelting of various laws, and creation of a new path. My advancement to rank 8… It happens today!” Light flashed as Leylin was completely enveloped by a blood-red fireball. He quickly moved outside the boundaries of the Magus World, arriving at the boundless astral plane.
