The figures that appeared in that group were utterly different from the zombie Voids before. Their bodies appeared completely undamaged, and the armor they wore was in excellent condition. The presences they released were all at the low level of the Aspect Condensation Realm.
"Your Highness?" Chen Yuan looked at Ning Xuanyuan, a questioning look in his eyes. They had come here to accompany Ning Xuanyuan on his training and help him gain an initial understanding of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.
Unlike the zombie Voids from before, those before them were genuine Bronze Rank Voids.
Ning Xuanyuan nodded and waved for Chen Yuan and the others to spread out. They were only Bronze Rank, equivalent to the Aspect Condensation Realm. He had no need for Chen Yuan and the others to protect him.
In fact, even if Silver Rank Voids appeared, Ning Xuanyuan would not need Chen Yuan and the others.
Ning Xuanyuan studied the figures opposite him and nodded inwardly. The fluctuations of presence emanating from these Bronze Rank Voids were indeed at the Aspect Condensation Realm. The only difference between them and martial artists was that those fluctuations contained no spiritual power. Just as Ye Xuankong had said, these creatures were manifestations of will.
The figure walking at the front seemed to be the leader of this group of Voids. He strode forward, his entire body bathed in a dense sheen of death. Those powerful fluctuations of death gave one the terrifying feeling that one's flesh was rotting away.
The figure moved with incredible speed. Without a word of nonsense, he reached out a hand, his palm harboring a terrifying power of death.
Clang!
A clear sword cry rang out. Even Chen Yuan and the others failed to see Ning Xuanyuan's movements. All they saw was a flash of sword light in the air before the Void's body abruptly stiffened. A vertical line appeared between his brows, then ran straight down, tearing his body in two.
Immediately afterward, the sword light swept through the air like lightning. The bodies of the remaining Voids all trembled slightly, and every last one of them was pierced between the brows!
Clatter!
Black mist spread, and a series of crisp sounds rang out as spherical crystals the size of thumbs fell to the ground. Chen Yuan and the others' gazes flickered, a trace of emotion appearing in their eyes.
What a fast sword!
Of the four, only Chen Yuan was at the Life Palace Realm. Yet even he had failed to see how Ning Xuanyuan drew his sword.
Someone who could claim the position of Blood Scion was extraordinary indeed.
Ning Xuanyuan stepped forward and bent down to pick up a Soul Jade. The round bead looked exquisitely small, with what seemed to be ripples of water undulating within it. A powerful fluctuation of will spread from it.
"So this is a Soul Jade?" Ning Xuanyuan looked curiously at the bead in his hand, but in the next instant, his body suddenly stiffened. He looked up and saw what seemed to be a trace of unusual light flickering quietly amid the spreading black mist.
"Is that Fortune?!" Ning Xuanyuan's pupils contracted sharply to pinpoints. These Voids not only contained Soul Jades, but Fortune as well?
With a thought from Ning Xuanyuan, those tiny glimmers, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable even to spiritual sense, were drawn into his body.
At that moment, the Chaos World within him gave off a distinct fluctuation.
"It really is Fortune!" Ning Xuanyuan could not help drawing a sharp breath, a dazzling light bursting from his eyes.
The Chaos World within Ning Xuanyuan had only just begun to take shape. It was still an immeasurable distance from becoming a true "world."
For the Chaos World to continuously grow and become complete, it needed vast amounts of the power of rules, the power of laws, and the origins of the Great Dao. Ning Xuanyuan could obtain all of these through his own insights. There was only one thing he could not comprehend and could only seize.
That was the power of Fortune!
Fortune was also known as Heavenly Dao Fortune. Only experts who had reached the Human Emperor Realm could contend with the Heavenly Dao and seize a strand of Heavenly Dao Fortune to empower themselves.
Yet these Voids actually contained the power of Fortune?!
Ning Xuanyuan felt his heart beating a little faster. Even Human Emperor Realm experts could not sense the power of Fortune contained within these Voids. If he did not possess the Chaos Origin, he probably would have been the same.
"Let's go!"
Ning Xuanyuan's figure flickered as he rushed forward. He needed to confirm whether this was a coincidence. Seeing this, Chen Yuan and the others hurried after him.
Before long, they encountered another group of Voids. Without any need for Chen Yuan and the others to act, Ning Xuanyuan unleashed strands of astonishing sword intent, instantly slaying every one of the Voids.
Ning Xuanyuan stood quietly in place. A moment later, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, every one of these Voids contained the power of Fortune!
"Collect the Soul Jades." Ning Xuanyuan gestured to Chen Huang, then looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Which floors do you usually operate on?"
"The fifth and sixth floors," Chen Yuan quickly replied. He was at the Life Palace Realm, and although the other three were somewhat weaker, they were still strong enough to hunt and collect Soul Jades in that area.
"Then let's go to the sixth floor!" Without hesitation, Ning Xuanyuan set off.
The group pressed forward, cleaving through everything in their path until they reached the sixth floor of the Ancient Imperial Mausoleum. To Chen Yuan and the others' astonishment, Ning Xuanyuan handled even the Silver Rank Voids they encountered along the way with considerable ease.
Silver Rank Voids were already comparable to those at the Soul Sea Realm. Yet before Ning Xuanyuan, they had no power to fight back, no different from lambs waiting for slaughter.
At last, the group arrived in an incomparably grand, ancient hall. The Voids active here were all high-level Silver Rank Voids.
In human terms, they were equivalent to experts at the peak of the late stage of the Soul Sea Realm.
A terrifying presence spread out, flowing through the space.
"You only need to collect the Soul Jades. There's no need to interfere with the rest," Ning Xuanyuan said. At that moment, a vast array of figures appeared before them.
Those Voids were all clad in battle armor, like a terrifying legion!
The numerous figures looked at Ning Xuanyuan and the others, their eyes cold and brimming with intense killing intent.
Boom!
The next moment, the legion composed entirely of high-level Silver Rank Voids stepped forward as one and charged at Ning Xuanyuan's group. A destructive power of will gathered, descending like a storm.
Within the storm, countless spears tore through the air, attacking Ning Xuanyuan and the others in a frenzy.
Chen Yuan and the others' expressions hardened, and they instinctively prepared to fight. But then they saw Ning Xuanyuan step forward and wave his hand, sending strands of Sword Qi shooting out.
An endless rain of swords appeared in the air, striking the spears attacking from ahead. Everywhere the rain of swords passed, every attack was shattered!
