The sheer number of Soul-Devouring Insects made Chen Lin's expression turn grim.
There were simply too many!
They blotted out the sky.
Points of light filled every direction, their buzzing making the Divine Soul tremble and throwing the mind into turmoil.
Still, the peculiar nature of his Divine Soul kept him from being affected.
With a tremor of his soul source, the strange omen was suppressed.
Even so, Chen Lin did not dare linger in battle. He scanned his surroundings, picked a direction with fewer insects, and swung his axe.
Black light swept from the Giant Axe, carving a passage through the swarm.
Chen Lin felt a little relieved at the sight. Riding his Escapist Light, he charged out through the passage!
"Wait for me!"
Yue Zhaosheng's voice rang out again. He waved his precious tool to fend off the attacking swarm while chasing after Chen Lin.
Chen Lin frowned.
This fellow really was irritating.
With someone tagging along, he could not use some of his methods, leaving him bound hand and foot.
But on second thought, this was precisely the time to get used to his new identity. He would encounter plenty of similar situations in the future, so he might as well test things out now.
With that in mind, Chen Lin stopped feeling so pressed.
He used the newly learned Giant Spirit Art, and his body grew to more than twice its size. Swinging the Giant Axe like a Giant Spirit God, he charged back and forth through the swarm.
In an instant, insects fell like rain.
Chen Lin was delighted.
The Soul-Slaying Axe seemed especially effective against Soul-Devouring Insects.
But he soon realized that what countered them was not the Soul-Slaying Axe, but his soul power.
Attacks using other soul arts worked just as well, though
