Soul Container Coordinates

That blinding light.

It was a sky full of blood.

That noisy sound.

It was the sound of people crying out.

Standing outside the gate of the secret vault.

Roger looked down from the railing.

But all around, the land was covered in scarlet, barren soil.

The badlands teem with countless crab legs, tentacles, and filthy creatures.

The nearby Gem City had long since been reduced to ruins.

The city's foundations were largely buried by the blood-red tide.

And high in the sky.

The thick, blood-red clouds resembled tongues covered in coating and barbs.

Thousands of eerie faces appeared and disappeared in the Blood Cloud.

The sky was red.

The ground was also red.

The floating Clear Spring Mountain is sandwiched in the middle, like a piece of food being held in someone's mouth!

"Hint: You have entered the ' Blood of Myriad Filth's Meal Ritual '"

"Insight: You realize that the nearby land and sky have been corrupted by Ancient Evil. The greedy, Blood of Myriad Filth is trying to taint Clear Spring Mountain. Once it devours the creatures of Clear Spring Mountain, its power will reach another level..."

Looking at the information in the data column.

Roger's tension gradually subsided.

Instead, there were waves of anger and a trace of regret.

He could sense it.

Today, on Clear Spring Mountain.

The entire mountainside was packed with people! Most of them were not members of the Clear Spring Sect.

The reason they're squeezed into the mountains.

It's simply because the land at the foot of the mountain is no longer habitable!

Before the Ancient Evil ' dining ritual.

They will either be assimilated into evil or become food.

The creatures on this land have no third choice!

Roger quickly arrived at the edge of the floating island.

He looked down.

All that could be seen was a vast expanse of land at the foot of Clear Spring Mountain, which had been replaced by a gaping maw! That gaping maw was a terrifying creature composed of hundreds of tongues, countless teeth, and layers upon layers of mouthparts.

If you erase the details and only look at the outline.

Its mouth, on the contrary, resembles a blooming blood-red lotus flower.

now.

The tongues surrounding the blood lotus were stretching out frantically, licking the bottom of the floating island with each lick!

The power of the Mountain Protection Array was weakened by a fraction! (At the center of the tongue.)

There were dark shadows, like lotus seeds—

Those were the fearless Blood Worship Cultist! They chanted the Honored Name of the Blood of Myriad Filth aloud.

Then, one after another, they jumped into the countless cracks in the center of the blood lotus.

Those mouthparts quickly chewed up the Blood Worship Cultist's body.

Before long, they were digested and became part of the Blood of Myriad Filth.

Roger noticed.

The faces of the dead Blood Worship Cultist appeared above the Blood Cloud in the sky! Those faces let out strange laughter at them.

Laughter echoed in the clouds.

This scene was truly horrifying.

Let alone ordinary people.

Even someone as experienced and worldly as Roger...

They were also stunned by the display of Blood of Myriad Filth!

"Is this guy holding me back so desperately just to devour Clear Spring Mountain?"

"He has endured this for so long."

"Why make a move at this time?"

Roger forced himself to calm down.

Judging from the progress of the ceremony.

The Blood of Myriad Filth was terrifying.

But it's clear that it's been there for more than just a day or two.

Judging from the state of the Mountain Protection Array, it should be able to hold out for a while longer.

"This is an opportunity!"

"I can't rush things."

"We must strike decisively!"

Looking at the Blood Cloud in the sky and the blood-red maw below.

Roger's mind raced.

The next second.

He decisively activated a specialization and then quickly began moving across Clear Spring Mountain!...

"Notification: You have activated the ' Hidden in Plain Sight ' perk."

In order to avoid being discovered by the Blood of Myriad Filth, he suddenly returned to himself.

Roger kept his presence to a minimum.

With the help of the Clear Wind Token and the Jade Spring Token.

He easily traversed the crowded mountainside, extricating himself from the terrified crowd, and arrived at the valley that housed the holy Saint Sword Griffith.

However, this place is no longer the same as Roger remembered.

The valley was crowded with residents of Gem City.

As far as Roger's eyesight could see.

The Holy Sword was nowhere to be found.

His heart skipped a beat, and he squeezed back into the crowd, heading towards the other side of Clear Spring Mountain.

"Where's the zither?"

"Where is Shar?"

"Where is Sonsonia?"

Where is Vera?

Roger swiftly swept across the mountainside.

The fact that familiar faces from the past were nowhere to be found made him feel somewhat anxious.

As soon as they returned to the secret vault.

He then tried to contact Sonsonia and the gargoyle.

But neither responded.

On the servants' column.

The gargoyle is in normal condition, but I don't know where it went.

Sonsonia, on the other hand, was in a much worse situation.

Her condition constantly teetered between near death and severe injury.

As for the specific location.

Roger could only sense a general area at that time.

But at this moment, there are far too many people taking refuge on Clear Spring Mountain.

He had to distinguish them one by one.

It still takes a little time, even as Roger is quickly searching for clues about his old friend.

In that Blood Cloud in the sky.

Suddenly, a painful yet resolute shout erupted! Everyone looked up.

The faces on the Blood Cloud became incredibly distorted, then were dispelled by four different colored lights! A Martial Artist, surrounded by four elemental lights, forcefully broke through the Blood Cloud.

His body was suspended in mid-air.

Deep within the Blood Cloud.

Everyone could see the four sacred beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, engaged in a fierce battle with those ethereal "human faces"!

The Martial Artist only stayed outside the Blood Cloud for a short while.

Then, full of fighting spirit, he charged in again! It seemed that he was inspired by his indomitable will.

The people on the immortal mountain gradually straightened their backs.

"It's the Vice Sect Master!"

"The Vice Sect Master hasn't given up on us yet!"

"Go for it, Lord Ji Qiu!"

Everyone cheered on Ji Qiu, who was engaged in fierce battle.

But Roger, hidden in the crowd, didn't look too good.

He could see it clearly.

Ji Qiu's condition is very bad.

Judging from the outward manifestations of 'Qi' and ' Four Sacred Beasts '.

This Martial Artist Ascension-grade, is now at his last gasp!

As expected.

A low, mocking voice echoed from within the Blood Cloud: "Ji Qiu."

"You are no match for me."

I heard this sound.

Roger's nerves immediately tightened to the limit.

His eyes once again turned into vertical pupils.

The next second.

He saw a man covered in a cloak and with a face full of tentacles in the Blood Cloud!

"Absolute Insight: You have locked onto the ' Blood of Myriad Filth's Human Body '."

"The Blood of Myriad Filth's Human Body: The human form carries most of the will of the Ancient Evil, possessing extremely strong growth potential and formidable strength; to kill the Blood of Myriad Filth, one must simultaneously and completely kill both its 'human form' and ' Celestial God Body '."

"Insight: You realize that the evil mouthpiece beneath Clear Spring Mountain is the ' Blood of Myriad Filth's Celestial God Body '."

"I see..."

Looking at the new information discerned by "Absolute Insight".

Roger already had a plan in mind.

However, he did not act rashly.

Instead, they continued searching for Sonsonia and kept an eye on the fierce battle within the Blood Cloud.

Faced with the mockery of the human form.

Ji Qiu was not discouraged.

He simply commanded the Four Sacred Beasts to charge at the core of the Blood Cloud again and again!

Roger saw it clearly.

The core area of Blood Cloud.

It turned out to be a Blood-Colored Altar floating in the air! The base of the altar was arched.

Like an upside-down bowl.

Its tentacles fluttered.

Three familiar figures were positioned at the four corners of the altar.

The three were Old Bard, Shapeshifter, and Blood Crow Lord.

They were all once Roger's defeated opponents.

But look at how spirited and energetic he is now.

How could there be even the slightest sign of decline? Under the leadership of these three clones.

The barrier on the Blood-Colored Altar was impregnable.

Even though Ji Qiu tried her best.

At most, the altar would only shake slightly; it wouldn't damage its core at all!

"Laughable humans..."

The human form chuckled and shook his head.

The next second.

A strange purple light emanated from the tip of his staff!

The purple light was exceptionally thick.

Its speed was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it locked onto the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Sacred Beasts! The purple light was like a sharp rope, rapidly contracting, as if it wanted to strangle the Azure Dragon to death! The divine beast let out a shrill howl.

This scene forced Ji Qiu to temporarily leave the altar and go to rescue the bound Azure Dragon.

The human form chuckled and waved the staff.

Six "Life-Reaping Bind" arrows shot out in succession.

Upon seeing this, the other three sacred beasts instinctively kept their distance.

The next second.

The Blood Cloud that had been broken up with great difficulty was once again completely filled in.

The human form instantly teleported to the altar.

The moment he reappeared.

The entire altar trembled slightly.

Between breaths.

He stood solemnly in the last position of the four corners! Then he struck the altar floor heavily with the staff in his hand.

In a short while.

Countless gray-white pillars of light rose up, piercing the sky! The world fell completely dark.

An ancient and melancholic ballad began to resonate in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards.

A seemingly endless staircase appeared in the center of the Blood Cloud!...

Hint: You have heard the 'Unknowable Song'.

"You have discovered the ' Immortal Ladder '."

"Insight (New): You have noticed that the ' Blood of Myriad Filth ' is performing the ' Immortal Ritual '."

He attempted to use his human body as a final vessel to complete the ritual—

This is undoubtedly a risky move.

But it is also possible to succeed.

"This guy is going all in..."

Roger gritted his teeth.

However, he was not in a hurry.

He knew.

The Blood of Myriad Filth is more anxious than he is! This guy probably wants to complete the Immortal Ritual in one go while Roger is still in the south, and then deal with him.

It's a pity.

The Clear Spring Sect Master has Mi Mi returned.

Roger's mind was as clear as a mirror.

He's making his move now.

It can destroy the Immortal Ritual of the Blood of Myriad Filth with 100% certainty.

But for him...

Simply disrupting the ritual is not enough.

He was determined to utterly destroy this Ancient Evil! At this moment.

Only one keyword kept flashing through Roger's mind—

"Demon Soul Jar"!...

"We must find their Demon Soul Jar!"

"The three previous dead clones all had it, so the Blood of Myriad Filth's Human Body also has it!"

"As for the Celestial God Body, it probably doesn't exist..."

Roger moved quickly through the crowd.

Ji Qiu, hidden in the Blood Cloud, seemed to have used a secret technique that greatly enhanced his offensive capabilities, and he engaged in a desperate battle with the Blood of Myriad Filth on the altar! The battle had reached a fever pitch.

Roger also sensed a slight pressure.

He maximized his search efficiency as much as possible.

Several tens of seconds later.

He finally found "Sonsonia" in the mountainside area that used to be guest rooms! This Ascension-grade Devil Lord is now no longer human.

She was placed on a stretcher at the edge of the square.

Two disciples of the Clear Spring Sect were taking care of it nearby.

Her limbs were all removed.

Only a lonely torso remained.

What has sustained her until now is the powerful vitality of an Ascension-grade demon.

But Roger could sense it.

She can't hold on much longer.

Because her status had been completely destroyed! Roger gritted his teeth and moved closer.

The two Clear Spring Sect Disciple looked at him with surprise.

Under the influence of "Hidden in Plain Sight".

They inexplicably shifted their gaze.

The next moment.

Roger picked up Sonsonia's torso and carried her to an empty room nearby, whereupon he summoned the Freshwater Five Sisters! "Heal."

Roger said it succinctly.

The Dragon Priestess is highly skilled in Restoration Spell.

Not long after.

Sonsonia's torso was stabilized.

But she was still very confused.

Roger gently stroked her forehead, continuously casting spells like "Unwavering Will" and "Unyielding Spirit" on her to stabilize her mind.

After a while.

Sonsonia slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Roger, she paused for a moment, then opened her mouth and said, "Master?"

"So you died before me, huh!"

"Is this what they call the underworld?"

As he spoke.

Tears streamed down her face from the pain.

"No."

Roger quickly said, "Listen, I know you're in pain right now, but I need your help."

"Can you sense any artifacts nearby that can contain souls?"

Sonsonia's eyes widened suddenly.

Not long after.

Her tears started streaming down her face.

"Master... you've finally come..."

"Waaaaah..."

Why are you asking such a strange question?

"There are corpses everywhere, and 'objects for containing souls' everywhere!"

Roger was momentarily speechless.

The reason he wanted to find Sonsonia was...

The purpose is to find a way to determine the location of the "Demon Soul Jar"!

According to Roger's speculation.

With the cunning and treacherous nature of someone who has been Blood of Myriad Filth.

It's impossible to hold Immortal Ritual without holding back some secrets.

It's highly likely that each of the four containers will have a Demon Soul Jar.

To avoid accidents.

The Demon Soul Jar is most likely not in their own hands.

Furthermore, the Demon Soul Jar has a limited effective range.

Therefore, it must have been hidden somewhere near the site of the Immortal Ritual.

Finding these Demon Soul Jar is not easy.

Roger can indeed use divination to track the Demon Soul Jar.

However, such an obvious action is very easy for the Blood of Myriad Filth to perceive.

At that point, it might not be as simple as just alerting the enemy.

in this regard.

On the contrary, it is the devils who deal with souls all year round.

They have a unique advantage when it comes to seeking objects related to the soul.

Especially the Devil Lord.

Signing contracts and collecting souls are as simple as eating and drinking for them.

This is why Roger, even after sending all his demons out to search for the Demon Soul Jar, was still desperately searching for Sonsonia!...

"Aside from corpses, have you ever heard of the ' Demon Soul Jar '?"

"I need to find them as soon as possible."

At present.

Roger patiently Sonsonia:

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to help you recover."

Sonsonia sobbed for a while with a mournful face.

Then, with a furrowed brow, she said, "A Horcrux?"

"It seems like it sensed a few..."

Roger exclaimed with delight, "Quickly, give me all their coordinates!"

Sonsonia asked hesitantly, "Do you want them all?"

Roger nodded:

I want them all!

"Hint: You have obtained 999 ' Soul Container Coordinates '"

"Damn it!"

Roger's face immediately turned ugly.

"Ah!"

It was at this moment.

Ji Qiu's painful screams echoed from within the Blood Cloud.
