With surprise in his eyes, he looked down at the palm of his hand that held the remnant soul.
The frantically struggling Heavenly Martial Realm remnant soul, under the terrifying momentum Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron erupted, actually let out an extremely shrill wail. The struggling movements also became stiff and frightening, and the rich cold Death Qi quickly dissipated!
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart and temporarily suppressed the thought of crushing the remaining soul.
He clearly felt that the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron in his Dantian was conveying a strong, almost greedy desire to devour, aiming directly at the Heavenly Martial Realm remnant soul in his hand!
This cauldron... can actually swallow the remaining souls?
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron's shadow flashed over Gu Sheng's head, and the terrifying aura that suppressed the heavens and smelted all things also subsided.
But Gu Sheng clearly felt that in the space inside the cauldron, the remnant soul of the Heavenly Martial Realm, which was struggling and roaring like crazy, instantly melted and disintegrated!
An extremely pure white energy containing strange life fluctuations was extracted, and condensed into a dragon eye-sized bead in the center of the cauldron, which was completely white and exuded a soft halo!
Soul Bead! Soul Bead containing pure Soul Power!
Almost at the moment when Soul Bead was formed, deep in Gu Sheng's Qi Sea Dantian, the spirit fetus sitting cross-legged and emitting chaotic light shook violently!
An extremely strong desire was passed into Gu Sheng's consciousness, and the target was directed at the newly formed Soul Bead in the cauldron!
Gu Sheng With a thought in his mind, the crystal white Soul Bead disappeared from the cauldron, and appeared directly in his consciousness sea space the next moment, suspended above the chaotic spirit fetus.
Soul Bead trembled slightly and turned into a stream of pure white light, which was absorbed by the chaotic spirit fetus.
The chaotic light on the surface of the spiritual fetus suddenly became a little brighter, and its degree of solidification was also visibly improved!
Although there is still a long way to go before complete integration, the Soul Bead refined from the remnant soul of the Heavenly Martial Realm is far more effective than any previous attempts at Gu Sheng!
"It works! And the effect is remarkable!"
Gu Sheng's eyes burst with light! The problem of spiritual fetus fusion that has troubled him for a long time has unexpectedly found a breakthrough!
This Ancient Martial Artist Remnant Soul is a life-threatening ghost to others, but to him, it is a great tonic!
At this moment, around the mountain col, in the gray mist, several more twisted figures emerged, exuding Earth Martial Realm level of cold Death Qi, slowly approaching the location of the two of them.
Apparently he was attracted by the explosive momentum of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron just now and the wail of the remaining soul.
Gu Sheng glanced at those remnant souls, and his eyes instantly became hot!
His previous plan was to go directly to Hall of a Thousand Souls, but now, the plan must change!
"Let's go!"
Gu Sheng gave a low shout, and rose into the air again, taking Gu Yuan with him, but this time, the direction was towards the ruins of the town that he had just escaped from and was now being flooded by the remaining souls!
"Master? Let's... go back?"
Gu Yuan was confused by this sudden turn. He looked at the approaching remnant souls below and the small town in the distance. He had no idea what Gu Sheng wanted to do.
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately. His speed in the air was extremely fast, and he instantly passed by the few Earth Martial Realm remnant souls that were trying to intercept.
At the moment of flying by, he stretched out his hands, so fast that he left afterimages!
The four Earth Martial Realm remnant souls didn't even have time to react, so Gu Sheng accurately grabbed their heads and lifted them in their hands!
They struggled wildly, Death Qi gushing out, but they couldn't shake Gu Sheng at all.
Gu Sheng's thoughts moved slightly, and above his head, the shadow of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron flashed away again!
An invisible suction force instantly enveloped the four remaining souls!
The four remnant souls quickly melted and refined in the silent wailing, and finally condensed into four white Soul Beads that were smaller than the previous ones and the light was slightly dimmer.
Gu Sheng did not hesitate and sent these four Soul Bead into the sea of consciousness.
The Chaos Spiritual Fetus greedily absorbed these four streams of pure Soul Power, and the fusion progress moved forward again, but the desire has not completely subsided, and it is obviously not enough!
After doing all this, Gu Sheng looked at Gu Yuan who looked shocked and confused, and explained in a calm tone.
"These remnant souls are of great use to me. I returned to the town to collect more."
He paused, glanced at the figure of the warrior below who was running desperately, but was caught up and killed by the scattered souls, and added.
"As for rescuing people... leaving before has caused resentment among the warriors in the town. Now that I go back, whether to save people or not depends on the situation. The first goal is to collect the remaining souls."
Gu Yuan opened his mouth, looking at Gu Sheng's calm eyes that seemed to be talking about harvesting crops, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
She understood that the master returned not out of pity or morality, but purely because those remaining souls were of value to him.
Those life-threatening ghosts that were like nightmares in the eyes of small town warriors, became "materials" for the master to improve their cultivation.
She nodded silently and asked no more questions.
Is this the world of the strong? Treat everything as a resource and use your own needs as your criterion?
The two were extremely fast, and the distance of dozens of miles was covered in an instant.
When we returned to the sky over the town again, the scene in front of us was completely different from when we left.
A small town can no longer be called a small town.
The raging fire was raging among the dilapidated wooden houses and stone sheds, and the thick smoke was billowing into the sky, making the dark clouds covering the remaining souls glow red.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt food, the strong smell of blood, and a disgusting smell of decay after a soul collapsed.
Broken walls and ruins can be seen everywhere, and the ground is stained red with blood and scorched by flames, forming dark brown stains.
Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere. Some corpses were burned black and curled up, while more corpses maintained the horrified posture before death, with eyes wide open and empty, apparently having their souls devoured.
And the most chilling thing is the remnant souls wandering among the ruins!
They pounced on the corpses that were still warm or already cold, greedily chewing and sucking the remaining fragments of the soul!
Some remnant souls even fought with each other for a "fresh" corpse, making silent but violent screams.
The entire camp has turned into a purgatory on earth!
The cries have long since disappeared, leaving only the crackling sounds of burning flames, the roar of collapsed buildings, and... the tiny, scalp-numbing sucking sounds made by countless remnant souls as they gnaw at the divine soul!
"Ugh..."
Gu Yuan only glanced at it, her stomach was turbulent, and a strong feeling of nausea surged into her throat. She quickly covered her mouth and held back so as not to vomit on the spot.
This scene was too tragic and terrifying, far beyond her psychological ability to bear.
Gu Sheng's expression remained calm, as if the place below was just an ordinary ruins.
His eyes quickly scanned the entire battlefield, looking for targets with relatively powerful souls that were worth taking action.
"Go down."
Gu Sheng took Gu Yuan and landed on a relatively empty gravel ground on the edge of the town that had not been affected by the fire.
As soon as they landed, it was like dropping a huge boulder on the calm (actually chaotic) lake!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the shadows of the surrounding ruins, on street corners, behind burning houses...
Twisted, translucent figures gathered from all directions in an instant!
Their empty eye sockets are locked on Gu Sheng and Gu Yuan, especially Gu Sheng's strong blood and powerful soul aura, which has a fatal attraction for them!
But in the blink of an eye, dense remnants of souls surrounded the open space where the two of them were!
There are so many, thousands of them!
They exuded a strong coldness Death Qi, and gathered together to form a suffocating cold storm, trapping the two of them firmly in the center!
Most of these remnant souls are at the Earth Martial Realm level, and there are also dozens of sect-level remnant souls whose auras are obviously much stronger!
They are slowly approaching, their invisible murderous intent and greed almost condensed into substance!
Gu Yuan's face turned pale, his body tensed involuntarily, and he subconsciously took a step closer to Gu Sheng.
Being locked by thousands of malicious eyes, the pressure is enough to cause an ordinary warrior to have a nervous breakdown.
Gu Sheng seemed not to have seen this terrifying formation. His eyes swept across the approaching remnant souls, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"Just in time."
He whispered to himself.
Thousands of twisted, translucent remnant soul figures swarmed out from the shadows of the ruins in all directions, trapping Gu Sheng and Gu Yuan in the center!
The rich coldness Death Qi gathered into a gray storm, which was bone-chilling and could almost freeze a person's soul.
Countless empty eyes were locked on the two of them, especially the majestic energy, blood and soul power of Gu Sheng. For these remnant souls, it was an irresistible temptation!
Gu Yuan felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the sky, the hair on his body stood up, and his heart almost stopped beating!
She subconsciously clenched her fists and dug her nails into her palms, barely suppressing the fear that originated from the depths of her soul.
She had never faced so many remnant souls at such a close distance, and the gathering malice and Death Qi almost engulfed her!
At this critical moment, Gu Sheng moved.
He did not draw his sword, nor did he perform any earth-shattering martial arts, he just calmly raised his right hand.
A low and majestic buzz sounded suddenly, as if traveling through eternity of time and space!
The shadow of a simple, thick bronze cauldron exuding endless vastness slowly emerged from the top of his palm, turning from virtual to solid!
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron!
On top of the tripod, nine dragon reliefs of different shapes seemed to come to life. The dragon's mouth was slightly open, breathing in the breath of chaos.
Mysterious runes flowed on the cauldron wall, and each rune seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth.
An indescribable terrifying pressure that seemed to be able to suppress Myriad Worlds and smelt the universe suddenly descended!
Golden light! Dazzling golden light burst out from the tripod, instantly illuminating the ruins shrouded in Death Qi!
Wherever the golden light touched, the intense coldness Death Qi made a "sizzling" sound and quickly melted and dissipated!
What is even more frightening is that the thousands of remnant souls that were originally madly greedy and fearless in death suddenly froze when Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared!
In their empty eye sockets, a kind of fear that comes from instinct and goes deep into the bone marrow is clearly revealed! It's like I've encountered a natural enemy!
The next moment, without waiting for Gu Sheng to move, Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron shook violently!
An unimaginably huge suction force suddenly erupted with Dingkou as the center!
This suction force is invisible and qualityless, but it seems to be able to swallow everything! It instantly covered an area of several thousand feet in radius!
Countless remnant souls let out silent screams full of extreme fear!
They could no longer control their bodies and struggled wildly, trying to escape from the envelope of the golden light!
Some of the remnant souls near the periphery desperately fled away from the mouth of the tripod!
All in vain!
That suction is so overbearing that it ignores distance and space! No matter how much the remnant soul struggles and flees, it can't escape the pull of that force!
Their twisted figures flew back involuntarily, turning into streams of gray-black light, being forcibly pulled and thrown into the mouth of the cauldron emitting brilliant golden light!
The moment the remnant soul was thrown into the mouth of the cauldron, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only the slight tremor of the cauldron body and the faint, heart-stopping refining fluctuations coming from within the cauldron.
In just a few breaths, the thousands of remnant souls that were originally densely packed and surrounded were swept away!
The entire area instantly became empty, leaving only the cold aura that had not dissipated and the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suspended in mid-air, exuding an aura of suppressing everything!
Gu Yuan stared at this scene dumbfounded, his mind going blank.
The thousands of remnant souls that made her suffocate with fear... were just gone? Was it all sucked in by Master's mysterious cauldron?
This... what level of treasure is this?
Gu Sheng looked calm, as if he had done an insignificant thing.
His thoughts moved slightly, Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron shook again, light flowed at the mouth of the tripod, and Soul Beads the size of longan eyes, all crystal white, exuding a pure and soft halo appeared one after another!
One, two, three... a total of sixteen Soul Bead are suspended above the mouth of the tripod!
Although the Soul Power contained in a single Soul Bead is far less powerful than the previous Heavenly Martial Realm remnant soul refining, it is better because of its large number!
Sixteen Soul Bead are gathered together, and the pure soul fluctuations emitted are still refreshing and refreshing.
Gu Sheng did not hesitate to incorporate all sixteen Soul Bead into the consciousness sea space.
In the sea of consciousness, the chaotic spiritual fetus sitting cross-legged suddenly burst out with an unprecedented bright light!
Sixteen strands of extremely pure Soul Power poured into the spiritual fetus crazily!
The chaotic light on the surface of the spiritual fetus fluctuates violently, and its shape becomes more solid and clear at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A mysterious aura that seems to contain the power of creating the world spreads from the depths of the spiritual fetus!
Gu Sheng clearly feels that the connection between himself and the spiritual fetus has never been closer!
The final barrier that hindered fusion quickly became thin and fragile under the impact of this majestic Soul Power!
The final perfect integration is just one step away!
"Soon..."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and anticipation surged in his heart.
Once the spiritual fetus is completely integrated, his strength will usher in a qualitative leap!
At this moment, three powerful breaths broke through the smoke and dust in the distance and the Death Qi that had not yet dispersed, and arrived in an instant!
The finished glyph of three Dao Body shadows landed dozens of feet in front of Gu Sheng.
