Grudging Souls (1)
"Because I'm here, and I've sensed countless vengeful spirits. Those things are useful to my soul," Fanxin said with a smile upon hearing this.
Actually, he had already sensed the presence of many vengeful spirits as soon as he entered the Impel Down. However, at that time, he was focused entirely on Fire Fist Ace, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
Now that he has freed Fire Fist Ace, he has decided to go there to purify those vengeful spirits and absorb them all into his soul, which will greatly benefit his soul cultivation.
"Oh, are there that many?" Ren Fang asked curiously.
"That's absolutely true. The Impel Down has existed for hundreds of years. People die here almost every day. Over the centuries, the number has been terrifying. It's understandable that there are so many vengeful spirits here," Fanxin said with certainty.
The Impel Down has another name: Hell on Earth. Once you enter, unless there are special circumstances, you will never be able to leave. You will be punished here, you will suffer here, and in the end, you will die here.
The more people die, the more vengeful spirits there will be; this is undeniable.
"Alright then! We'll stay inside the Diamond Space to avoid causing you any trouble," Ren Fang said, nodding. The others all nodded in agreement, indicating their decision to do so.
"Alright, it's safer for you to stay in the Diamond Space. That Magellan is not easy to deal with. Once he releases his poison, you'll all suffer greatly, and you might even be captured. Right now, Senior Li Kecheng isn't here, so if you get poisoned, that would be troublesome." Fanxin Xin nodded without objection and said.
Magellan's poison was potent; it could even corrode walls. He had his protective Haki, so he was unharmed. But the others were a different story. They hadn't yet mastered their Haki.
If they get the venom on them, they'll be in big trouble.
More importantly, Magellan's venom can vaporize, and once it fills the air, Ren Fang and the others will be in trouble without Magellan even having to lift a finger.
Fanxin was not at ease letting them fight against such a dangerous person.
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing! Be careful." Bingfeng nodded and said. The others nodded in agreement, without any objection.
Fanxin nodded, and then immediately left the small world and went outside.
Using his Soul Perception, he began searching for the location of the vengeful spirits. Soon, he found a gathering place of vengeful spirits on the fifth floor.
There are many human bones here, piled up like a mountain, clearly the remains of prisoners. There are many teeth marks on their bones, indicating that they were bitten by something.
Roar roar roar roar...
As Fanxin was observing what kind of teeth marks they were, Fanxin suddenly sensed a sense of crisis, though faint. It was clear that his opponent was extraordinary.
Fanxin used his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings and discovered dozens of wolves charging towards him from a distance.
Fanxin observed that these wolves were tall and powerful, with blood-red eyes, unlike ordinary wolves.
"Military Wolf?" Fanxin thought carefully for a moment and remembered a type of wolf called the Military Wolf.
The Military Wolf are tall, powerful, and extremely ferocious. They dare to attack both wild animals and humans, showing no mercy even to large creatures. They are a pack of fierce beasts; if you are targeted by them, death is the only outcome.
Once they catch you, they will devour you completely.
Fanxin looked at the large pile of human bones in front of him, and at the teeth marks on the bones, and seemed to understand something.
"Heh, you want to eat me too? How arrogant!" Fanxin Xin chuckled, dismissively saying.
If he hadn't mentioned his Haki, I might have been worried. However, he has now Haki and his body is incredibly strong; even without lifting a finger, the Military Wolf have no way to deal with him.
If the Military Wolf are oblivious and insist on attacking him, he will show them what terror truly means.
He ignored the Military Wolf and looked at the pile of human bones, from which many vengeful spirits had gathered, their numbers reaching a terrifying level.
"How many people must have died to have so many vengeful spirits!" Fanxin muttered to himself.
There are so many vengeful spirits here that even he has lost count.
Shaking his head, Fanxin stopped thinking about it. He sat down cross-legged and began to purify the vengeful spirits. He clasped his hands together and released Light of Purification, which shone on the large pile of human bones.
A moment later, many blurry human figures appeared inside the bones—some fat, some thin, some tall, some lovely—these were the owners of the bones.
This is what they used to look like. Usually, they would attach themselves to the bones and couldn't come out because vengeful spirits can't see the sunlight.
Now, he used the Light of Purification, which allowed them to reveal themselves.
"Alright, you can leave now. Since you're already dead, there's no need for you to remain in this world," Fanxin said, looking at the resentful faces of the group.
He didn't listen to any of their opinions, because everyone imprisoned here had committed some sin, more or less. Their deaths here were a punishment for their lives.
They deserved their fate, so naturally he wouldn't show them any pity.
He used the Light of Purification to purify them one by one.
After a day and a night, Fanxin finally finished purifying all the souls. He then obtained many pure souls. These souls held no resentment or consciousness; they were pure Soul Power.
Without any hesitation, Fanxin Xin accepted it and placed it into the Soul Pool of Souls.
He needed these things just the way they were. He constantly absorbed them from the Soul Tower, and now that they were readily available, he naturally wouldn't give them up.
After absorbing the energy, Fanxin Xin immediately got up and headed towards other levels.
Many people died on each level. He has only purified the fifth level so far; he has not yet purified the remaining five levels.
He planned to visit each floor, so that he could obtain a large amount of Soul Power.
"Hehe, it's time to go." Fanxin Xin chuckled and walked away into the distance.
The Military Wolf around him remained, drooling, seemingly wanting to eat him. However, they dared not approach. They were wary of Fanxin, as if Fanxin were terrifying.
Fanxin walked along, he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Stop following me, or I'll wipe you all out!"
These guys might not dare attack him, but having them following him would be a problem. He didn't want to be followed by a pack of wolves.
Under his reprimand, the Military Wolf seemed to be frightened and stopped following, looking at Fanxin.
Fanxin was relieved to see that those guys were no longer following him.
He then left the fifth floor and headed towards the sixth floor.
He was using a soul form, so no one knew.
After reaching the sixth level, Fanxin spent another day purifying the vengeful spirits there, absorbing a large amount of their Soul Power.
He was overjoyed; his trip to the Impel Down had been incredibly rewarding! He felt that his soul would undergo some kind of transformation afterward. He was eagerly anticipating it.
After dealing with the sixth level, Fanxin Xin immediately headed towards the fourth level. He was going to purify the vengeful spirits there.
However, as soon as he reached the fourth floor, he sensed that something was wrong.
He noticed that many of the prison guards were on high alert, as if they were targeting him for something.
Since Fanxin eyesight wasn't very good, he had no choice but to rely on his Observation Haki to sense things. A moment later, he knew what had happened on the fourth level.
"Straw Hat Luffy? What's he doing here! It seems he has a close relationship with Fire Fist Ace." Fanxin looked on, his brows furrowed, and muttered to himself in confusion.
Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace are fighting side by side, which shows that their relationship is extraordinary. After all, they are both pirates, but not on the same pirate ship. Generally speaking, it's impossible for them to trust each other that much.
However, they both entrusted their backs to others, which shows that their relationship was extraordinary. They wouldn't trust each other like that if they weren't the closest people to each other.
"However, the Straw Hat Boy coming here is undoubtedly just causing trouble!" Fanxin muttered to himself.
While the Straw Hat Pirates are quite strong among the Supernovas, this place is Hell on Earth, and their strength is somewhat lacking here.
Now, Fire Fist Ace is caught in a dilemma, having to face Magellan's attack while also taking care of Straw Hat Luffy!
"Damn it, it seems I won't have a chance to absorb Soul Power," Fanxin said helplessly.
His two close friends were both there; he couldn't just stand by and watch them die! If he hadn't seen them, he could have ignored it. Now that he had, he naturally couldn't just give up.
He then released Wang Yan and Bingfeng.
"You two, we're about to have a big battle. You must be careful not to get Magellan's venom on you, not even in the air, understand?" Fanxin shouted.
Magellan, that poisonous man, is a real problem. Whether you attack him or not, you'll suffer. If you don't attack him, he'll attack you. And if you do attack him, you'll get his venom on you.
He wouldn't want to provoke such a person unless absolutely necessary, because the other party was too troublesome.
"We understand," Wang Yan and Bingfeng said.
"Okay, that's good. Let's go, let's fight." Fanxin nodded, and he immediately summoned his body, letting his soul reside within it, appearing in his true form.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the fourth floor, Fanxin pushed open the door without hesitation and went inside.
At this time, the entrance was blocked by a large number of prison guards. The entrance to the third floor was also blocked by a large number of prison guards.
At the entrance to the fourth floor and the entrance to the third floor, there is a very long and wide corridor.
At this moment, in the middle of the corridor, Fire Fist Ace, Magellan, Straw Hat Luffy, Jinbe, Knight of the Sea, and other powerful figures from the prison were all gathered.
Fire Fist Ace, Jinbe, Knight of the Sea, and Straw Hat Luffy were trapped in the center and couldn't move at all.
There were many people around, and it would be extremely difficult for them to escape.
Fanxin sighed. If Ace and Jinbe had listened to his advice, everything would have been fine. He could have easily led them away and regained their freedom. But they wouldn't listen, and as a result, not only did they fail to escape from the Impel Down, they were also stopped.
Now, Magellan is definitely prepared. Even if Fire Fist Ace, Luffy, and Jinbe escape from here, they probably won't be able to leave Impel Down.
If Magellan could simply move the ships away, the three of them would be unable to escape. After all, the sea was right outside.
Both Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy are Devil Fruit users. Although Jinbe is Fish-Man and can travel by water.
However, if they are unlucky, they might encounter Sea Kings. In that case, they would be doomed.
"Hey, you guys are too focused! I'm still here! You can't ignore me!" Fanxin chuckled as she entered, addressing everyone.
Upon hearing this, the jailers guarding the fourth-floor entrance were startled and turned around to look at Fan Xin and his Fanxin. They drew their weapons, ready to attack at any moment.
"Chief, there are intruders!" the jailers shouted.
"Ah, I know, that bastard freed Fire Fist Ace and Jinbe, Knight of the Sea. Hmph, but I'll catch them soon. None of them will escape." Magellan said coldly.
"You guys hold him off first, I'll deal with these people first," Magellan added again.
"Understood, Chief Warden," the jailers nodded in response.
"Boy, you can die now." After receiving the warden's permission, the jailers all revealed fierce expressions, as if they were about to extinguish Fanxin in him.
Fanxin looked at them, gave a cold smile, and didn't say a word. He walked forward.
Wang Yan and Bingfeng immediately followed.
Seeing that Fanxin Xin ignored them, the jailers were furious and were about to open fire.
However, at that moment, Fanxin suddenly unleashed Conqueror's Haki attack. An immense power erupted from his mind, instantly sweeping across the entire fourth level.
Everyone hit by this attack felt a chill run through their body.
Those with weak willpower collapsed to the ground, lost consciousness, and were no longer able to fight.
Those with strong willpower stared at Fan Xin in Fanxin, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
A being who can freely wield Haki is not someone to be trifled with. To them, that would be a formidable foe.
"Conqueror's Haki?" Magellan sensed it and stared at Fanxin in shock. He could no longer ignore Fanxin. Because Fanxin could use Haki freely! And it was the strongest Conqueror's Haki! This wasn't just a Supernovas, but a powerful figure who could rival them.
