Heavenly Tomb, second layer.
Xiao Yan's figure darted through the deathly silent dunes. His soul power was like an invisible fishing net, silently cast before he began his dash and covering dozens of miles around him.
"Three to the front left, the strongest around an eight-star Dou Zun; six ahead and slightly to the right, the strongest has a nine-star aura; two directly to the right, around seven-star..."
The perception of a Heavenly State Soul was terrifyingly sharp, clearly relaying the locations of those wandering undead energy forms to Xiao Yan. Their bodies were shrouded in murky gray mist as they aimlessly roamed the territory they knew so well. They possessed no intelligence, only the instinct to devour the energy of intruders.
"You'll do!"
Xiao Yan immediately selected his final target, moving as swiftly as a streak of black lightning.
The first to block Xiao Yan's path were three energy forms at the level of seven-star Dou Zuns. The moment they sensed his presence, they attacked him together. Though these spirit bodies had lost all intelligence, their combat instincts remained. They would not attack one another, so if one lacked sufficient strength, facing them simultaneously would still be rather troublesome.
"Get out of my way!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a sweep of the Heavy Profound Ruler, Xiao Yan casually harvested the three energy forms, reducing them all to diamond-shaped energy cores. Energy forms of this level could hardly cause Xiao Yan any trouble.
Without even looking at them, Xiao Yan made a grasping motion with his left hand. A gentle suction force drew the three spoils into his palm, and he casually stuffed them into his Storage Ring. The entire process was smooth and decisive.
Xiao Yan moved quickly. Only then did the strongest energy form at the center react.
