Dead Spirit Abyss

Looking at the dark, deep ravine in front of him, Mo Tang felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Back then, I was just a lowly Dou Shi, and I was almost driven to the brink of death by a fourth-tier Gale Eagle...

Now that he had become Dou Zong, Mo Tang felt even more uneasy looking at Wind Ghost Ravine.

What kind of place lies beneath this mountain stream?

As Dou Zun, Venerable Lei was clearly more perceptive in this regard than Mo Tang; he even felt a faint sense of danger coming from below...

Speaking of this, Mo Tang recalled the time when he went down to search for the corpse of the Gale Eagle.

Even though he only stayed there for a very short time, he still felt a chill run down his spine, as if countless eyes were staring at him...

Upon hearing what Mo Tang said, Venerable Lei frowned slightly, but he wasn't afraid of anything.

After all, as a Dou Zun, even if there were any real dangers below, he was confident that he could guarantee the safety of himself and Mo Tang.

But...

"Let's go check out that cave you mentioned first and find my brother's remains."

Venerable Lei spoke up.

Mo Tang nodded, then took the lead and flew into the mountain stream with Venerable Lei.

They found the cave, and everything there was exactly as Mo Tang had left it. Clearly, no one had come here since then.

He led the Venerable Lei to a small grave he had made himself on the rocks, where the remains of the Wind Thunder Emperor were buried.

Because the other party was only Dou Emperor when he died, the remains had become very fragile after a hundred years of corrosion. When Venerable Lei dug out the remains again, they even showed signs of being broken.

With a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze swept by, clearing away all the dust from the remains...

Venerable Lei's hand trembled slightly as he brushed across the grayish-white bone...

"Yes, these are indeed my elder brother's remains..."

Mo Tang couldn't help but widen his eyes...

This is... way too high-tech! You can tell if someone is your brother just by touching them? A human gene analyzer?

Of course, this result is also the most favorable one for Mo Tang, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out and question anything.

With a wave of his hand, he put the corpse into his Storage Ring. Venerable Lei turned his gaze to the outside of the cave, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This mountain stream is quite extraordinary. I'm going down to investigate. Do you want to go up or come with me?"

Mo Tang quickly replied, "Of course I'll go with the teacher."

He had long wanted to go down and take a look, but his strength was limited back then, so he had the will but not the courage... Now that there was such a free expert paving the way ahead, he was naturally more than happy to do so.

Without any hesitation, the two plunged directly into the depths of the ravine...

Upon reaching the bottom of the deep ravine, Mo Tang keenly sensed a chilling sensation approaching him, and his vision was completely black, as if it were the pure darkness before the creation of the world.

Mo Tang had experienced this feeling before, back when he encountered Xiao Yi Xian deep within the Poison Soul Valley of the Chuyun Empire ...

However, the Yin Spirit and deathly aura that permeated the Ruins back then was nothing compared to what the two of them were encountering now!

Even with Mo Tang's cultivation level and physique, he could feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from the surroundings...

It felt as if not only the body, but also the soul, was cold, as if death was right beside them.

As he delved deeper, Mo Tang felt the chill gradually weakening, and it was as if he were now inside a cool, soft bubble...

A faint, delicate fragrance, like the cherry lips of a beautiful woman, gently brushes against one's skin, bringing an ultimate sense of enjoyment.

Just as Mo Tang was about to immerse himself in the moment, he was suddenly startled, and then he was jolted awake from his daze, breaking out in a cold sweat!

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

Just then, a cold snort came from the Venerable Lei beside him, followed by a white light that tore through the darkness and snaked out...

Sizzle!

As if tearing open the darkness before them, the dazzling lightning obliterated all the demons and monsters, instantly revealing a clear and bright sky!

Watching the white figure silently vanish into nothingness amidst the lightning, Mo Tang's heart skipped a beat...

"This is... a soul?"

The figure just now was exactly the same as the soul of Mo Tianxing that was taken away by the Soul Hall.

However, after he exclaimed in surprise, Venerable Lei coldly said, "This is no ordinary soul, but a strange Yin Spirit!"

"Yin Spirit?" Mo Tang was somewhat surprised.

Isn't this term usually found in the world of fantasy and martial arts? It's similar to things like vengeful ghosts and monsters. Although they seem similar to the transformed Demonic Beast in the Dou Qi Continent, they are fundamentally different.

Venerable Lei nodded, looking at the countless white dots of light that had appeared in the darkness, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up by his lightning bolt. Each dot represented the presence of a Yin Spirit...

"These Yin Spirit are formless and intangible; only Power of Destruction like fire and lightning can subdue them... If they come into contact with you, even a Dou Emperor or Dou Zong powerhouse could be bewitched and ultimately die from exhaustion of their soul power..."

Mo Tang grinned, looking at the dense swarm of light points that were already rushing towards him, and suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake by rushing in so rashly.

"Step aside and let me clear these things away first... I'm more interested in seeing what lies at the very bottom of this ravine!"

Upon hearing Venerable Lei's words, Mo Tang quickly took a few steps back.

Venerable Lei opened his two large hands and stretched them forward...

The surging white lightning reappeared immediately, and then, centered on the palms, it crisscrossed and formed a lightning net several tens of feet long, directly covering the entire deep ravine...

"Condense!"

With a loud shout, the lightning grid instantly began to cover the area in front.

Wherever it passed, all the Yin Spirit touched by the lightning instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared into the darkness.

Watching all this from behind, Mo Tang almost couldn't resist turning into a little seal clapping his hands...

Sure enough, it's great to have a powerful figure by your side. You don't have to lift a finger when you encounter any danger; they'll naturally turn misfortune into good fortune and disaster into blessing!

After the Venerable Lei wiped out the countless Yin Spirit transformed from the souls of countless people, the two continued forward without hesitation...

After walking for about ten more minutes, the two suddenly heard the sound of flowing water... (ptererror();)
