All the way, he hunted and killed. Before reaching Emperor Grade, these ordinary wraiths were no match for Huo Hai at all. He did not even need to use the Battle Spirit Art; with a casual gathering of a little spiritual energy, he could wipe them all out.
Those below the Spirit Emperor Realm might find dealing with wraiths extremely troublesome, because wraiths were soul creatures, and ordinary attacks were greatly weakened against them. But once one reached the Spirit Emperor Realm, it was different. One's spiritual energy contained a powerful force of will, and this special spiritual energy was not much different against wraiths than against corporeal creatures.
For a Spirit Emperor like Huo Hai, the terrifying force of will contained within his spiritual energy was even more lethal to creatures like these wraiths. A force of will capable of altering the laws of heaven and earth—what difficulty was there in harming a few wraiths?
As he went deeper, the strange wraiths Huo Hai encountered became more and more numerous. These wraiths had no intelligence. Their retaining their original shapes was merely due to remnants of memories from when they were alive. As the wraiths devoured one another, their forms began to turn increasingly grotesque.
Many wraiths were even stranger than the bizarre wolves Huo Hai had seen in the Hidden Assassins trap. He had no idea what these things even were. In that case, no matter what they were, he would kill them all and collect their Mental Power Crystals. Having gone this deep, Huo Hai was no longer worried about encountering anyone. Even a Spirit Emperor team from the Death Soul Sect would not easily venture this far in.
At last, Huo Hai sensed a terrifying power spreading ahead. "Emperor Grade. This is definitely an Emperor-Grade Wraith."
