343: C343 Soul Devouring Beast

C343 Soul Devouring Beast

Death Valley, in the center.

Ye Lan stood quietly on top of a dilapidated palace, looking at the Soul Summoning Array that was burning with black flames. His expression was calm.

Suddenly, he felt that the Furnace of Life within the Sea of consciousness started vibrating, producing a strange vibration.

That trembling sound didn't really come from the Furnace of Life, but from the Divine Devil Pagoda that had fused with the Furnace of Life.

Apart from that, the Devil God Pagoda Fragment that Ye Lan had obtained from the little monk, Jie Se, was also trembling continuously, emitting a strange sound that made one's soul feel comfortable.

"Strange, why would the Divine Devil Pagoda suddenly tremble?"

Ye Lan frowned slightly and his face was filled with confusion.

After that, he took out the Devil God Pagoda Fragment and discovered that the fragment was currently emitting a hazy glow.

The light shot out and pointed at the Soul Summoning Array that was burning with black flames.

"Young Master Ye, what's wrong?"

Murong Dan saw that Ye Lan's expression was serious. In his hand was another seemingly inconspicuous fragment that was emitting a divine light. He could not help but ask.

"There should be something underneath the Soul Summoning Array!"

Suddenly, Ye Lan seemed to have thought of something. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly and a bright smile appeared on his face.

The Divine Devil Pagoda and its fragment suddenly began to tremble. It let out a sound, and it shot out a bright divine beam that shot straight into the Soul Summoning Array. This was definitely not a coincidence.

Ye Lan believed that there must be something underneath the Soul Summoning Array, and that thing was very likely his target for coming to the Hengduan's Border - the rest of the Devil God Pagoda Fragment!

"Do you need our help to search that place?"

Murong Dan asked.

"There's no need for that. You guys just had an intense battle with the Langxu Country, and you guys are seriously injured. Right now, we need to recuperate, so we shouldn't take any more action.

Let me go and investigate that place myself! "

Ye Lan replied.

"Alright, Young Master Ye. If you need anything, crush this talisman and we'll come to your rescue as soon as possible!"

After thinking for a while, Murong Dan did not insist. He took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ye Lan.

Ye Lan smiled and nodded. He accepted Murong Dan's jade pendant as a token of appreciation.

"I will leave now. You all should rest here during my absence. Remember, the Death Valley is extremely dangerous.

Don't believe anything you see here. Do you understand? Or else, you might lose your life at any time."

Ye Lan instructed.

Hearing this, Murong Dan, Zuo Ge, Tang Lei and the rest of the Fire Lotus Army lieutenants and captains all nodded their heads solemnly.

After that, Ye Lan gave them more Corpse Avoiding Pills to prevent them from being corroded by the Death Qi and Yin Qi in Death Valley.

At the same time, he personally set up a strange defensive Formation for Murong Dan and the rest of the soldiers of Fire Lotus Army.

As long as Murong Dan and the rest did not take half a step out of the Formation, no demons or monsters would be able to get close to them.

"There is still a lot of food and water here. It should be of some help to you."

Ye Lan said.

A large amount of food and water immediately appeared in the Fish Scale Sword.

Murong Dan, Zuo Ge, Tang Lei, and thousands of Fire Lotus Army soldiers were touched when they saw Ye Lan doing his best for them.

"Young Master Ye, be careful!"

Murong Dan and thousands of Fire Lotus Army soldiers could only say this sentence.

Although it was a simple sentence, it was full of respect for Ye Lan.

Hearing this, Ye Lan smiled. His body moved and headed towards the direction of the Soul Summoning Array once again.

While he was in midair, he held the Devil God Pagoda Fragment in his hand, and continuously patrolled the Soul Summoning Array.

After an unknown period of time, the Devil God Pagoda Fragment in Ye Lan's hand suddenly shone brightly. The trembling became more and more intense, and the sound became louder and louder.

"It should be here!"

Ye Lan stood on a tall platform. This tall platform was the place where Witch King was chanting the Soul Summoning Spell.

"Break!"

Ye Lan shouted in a deep voice. He stomped his foot and a loud bang was heard. The huge tall platform under his feet was immediately broken. Rubble and dust flew into the sky and rolled up the sky.

The moment the platform was broken, a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters immediately appeared below.

On the ground. The hole was deep and deep. One could not see where it led to, nor could one see how deep it was.

Inside, rolling black fog continuously gushed out. The black fog was so dense that it seemed to have solidified. It emitted a monstrous death Qi, Yin Qi, and evil Qi, causing one's soul to tremble. Even one's back could not help but feel a chill.

All in all, this cave gave people the feeling that it was the entrance to hell.

Just by standing at the entrance of this underground cave, cultivators felt as if their souls were about to be devoured and absorbed.

"It really is here!"

When Ye Lan felt the cave appear, the Devil God Pagoda Fragment in his hand immediately stopped vibrating. He could not help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth and his body began to slowly sink into the cave.

Roar ~

As soon as Ye Lan entered the hole, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth immediately came from the darkness.

A huge evil Demonic Beast suddenly flew towards him.

The Demonic Beast didn't have a physical body, it only had a soul body. It had a ferocious face and looked like a Taotie. Its eyes were like copper bells and its mouth was like a bloody basin. The aura of death emitted from its body made people feel very uncomfortable.

Soul Devouring Beast!

This was a type of soul body Demonic Beast that could only be born in places where the aura of death, Yin Qi, and evil aura were extremely dense!

This kind of Demonic Beast would not harm a cultivator's body. Because it was a soul body, it would harm a cultivator's soul. It would directly attack the cultivator's source and devour the cultivator's Soul Force.

This was the Soul Devouring Beast!

It was different from the ordinary Demonic Beast in the outside world!

And the condition to form the Soul Devouring Beast, other than the fact that it required death Qi, Yin Qi, and extremely dense evil Qi, it also required an unpardonable soul.1

Usually, the existence that formed a Soul Devouring Beast was that kind of unpardonable soul body. It only transformed into a Soul Devouring Beast after absorbing the monstrous death Qi, Yin Qi, and evil Qi.

"Get lost!"

Ye Lan could not help but shout when he saw the Soul Devouring Beast open its bloody mouth and lunge at him.

The Furnace of Life flew out from between his brows, and Ye Lan swung the Furnace of Life, smashing it heavily onto the Soul Devouring Beast.

Although the Soul Devouring Beast was a soul body, physical attacks were useless against it.

Unfortunately, Ye Lan's Furnace of Life specialized in countering all kinds of Soul Force quantities, like the Soul Weapon and battle soul of a cultivator.

Naturally, it was not too difficult for the Furnace of Life to kill the Soul Devouring Beast.

Especially since the Furnace of Life had fused with the mysterious jade pestle and the Divine Devil Pagoda, its power was even stronger. Even if this Soul Devouring Beast was powerful enough to devour a Second Layer of Breaking Embryo Stage warrior's Soul Force, it still wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from the Furnace of Life.

* Kaboom *

With a loud explosion, the Soul Devouring Beast that was flying towards Ye Lan was instantly destroyed. At the same time, the origin power of the Soul Devouring Beast was also used by the Furnace of Life to burn and refine it, helping it grow.

After the Furnace of Life absorbed and refined the Soul Devouring Beast's origin, it continuously fed feedback to Ye Lan, helping him increase his cultivation base bit by bit.

It could be said that in this dark and deathly silent space, the many Soul Devouring Beast that were born were the best tonics for Ye Lan to increase his cultivation base and strength.

"No wonder those old bastards from the Witchcraft Sect and those guys from the Corpse Hall, who are neither human nor ghost, chose to place the Soul Summoning Array here, preparing to merge tens of thousands of Corpse Puppet into their souls.

It turned out that in this underground world, there was actually a place that contained an extremely dense death and Yin Qi."

After Ye Lan used the Furnace of Life to incinerate the Soul Devouring Beast, he began to size up this boundless dark underground world. He felt the heaven overflowing dense death Qi and Yin Qi contained in this underground world, as well as the darkness. Waves of terrifying roars and murderous aura of the Soul Devouring Beast could be heard.

Ye Lan knew that the death Qi and Yin Qi in this underground space was many times denser than outside. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many Soul Devouring Beast to be born in this place!

"However, it's also a good deal for me. If it wasn't for the Witchcraft Sect and Corpse Hall preparing to refine the Corpse Puppet here, I would have merged it with my soul.

I won't follow them all the way here, and I won't be able to find this underground space either!"

Finally, the corner of Ye Lan's mouth lifted slightly, and his face was filled with joy.

He came to this dark and silent underground space, and it was filled with dense death and Yin Qi. There were Soul Devouring Beast that thirsted for human souls everywhere. If an ordinary person were here... They would not have dared to be as shocked and happy as Ye Lan. It was as if they had discovered a secret realm that contained endless treasures.

In fact, to Ye Lan who possessed the Furnace of Life, this mysterious underground space that gave birth to a large number of Soul Devouring Beast was indeed a rare treasure land.

Ye Lan firmly believed that as long as he relied on the Furnace of Life's ability, he would be able to devour and refine the source of the Soul Devouring Beast without restraint. After that, he would be able to rely on the source of the Soul Devouring Beast to increase his cultivation base and strength bit by bit.

Perhaps, he could use this opportunity to break through from the Peak of First Layer of Breaking Embryo Stage to the Second Layer of Breaking Embryo Stage.

With this thought in mind, Ye Lan didn't stop. He held the Furnace of Life in his hand and entered the darkness. From time to time, the painful howls of the Soul Devouring Beast and the sizzling sound of burning flames could be heard from the spatial zone.

At this moment, Ye Lan began his journey of hunting the Soul Devouring Beast!
