The Second Soul Artifact
The screams coming from the depths of the cave were mournful and echoed Black Abyss Cave, seemingly accompanied by vicious and cruel curses.
Moreover, the voice sounded very familiar, seemingly belonging to the ancestor of the Tai Shang Family.
Lin Yi couldn't help but look into the deep Black Abyss Cave, only then realizing that the person who had stepped into the Black Abyss Cave before was an acquaintance.
If he's not mistaken, those three Eight-Realm Ancestor were dealing with Qiu Heming are probably all doomed.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. If they were to venture any deeper into the Black Abyss Cave, they would have to be careful, as these three were no pushovers...
Then, Lin Yi pried out the Stone Pearl from the rock wall. His heart skipped a beat. Through the System's introduction, he discovered that the Stone Pearl was not some kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but Soul Artifact forged by human hands.
[Profound Origin Wind Bead - Soul Artifact]: It can be melted into the body and refined by the Profound Wind of heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years. It contains the origin of the Profound Wind and can endlessly devour the mysterious Profound Wind. It can also use the Profound Wind wind to defend against enemies.
In fact, Lin Yi obtained his first Soul Artifact from Ancient Pool Village, which was Soul Artifact Strange Stone greatly helped Lin Yi in the early stages of his life.
Within the Black Mountain secret realm, Lin Yi had hunted down numerous Strange Spirit and obtained many Eerie Spirit Core. He originally intended to remelt the Strange Stone, but later he broke through to the Martial Saint realm, and his focus and energy were tied up with the affairs of the Ancient Domain, so he put the matter aside.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi found the first Soul Artifact in this Ancient Secret Realm.
Lin Yi actually had his own guesses about the origin of the Soul Artifact.
Since the Strange Stone Soul Artifact is Ancient Pool Village's Secret Treasure, and Ancient Pool Village inherits the Divine Sacrifice Legacy, Lin Yi guessed that the so-called sacrificial vessel was the Soul Artifact, but it was not reflected on the System panel.
If that's the case, then this Black Abyss Cave is probably related to Divine Sacrifice, otherwise a Soul Artifact wouldn't have been buried inside this rock wall and refined with Profound Wind winds.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi put away the Profound Origin Wind Bead, preparing to study its secrets when he had time.
Just then, the entire Black Abyss Cave suddenly began to shake violently. The cracks in the rock walls around the Profound Origin Wind Bead Lin Yi had taken out instantly spread like a spider web. With a snap, large sections of sharp, hard rock walls, as sharp as blades, fell off and into the depths of the Black Abyss Cave as they absorbed the Profound Wind Power.
And that wasn't all. As the rock wall in front of Lin Yi shattered and fell, the wind pressure that had long been present in the Black Abyss Cave suddenly changed.
The internal suction force of the Profound Wind no longer blew up and down, but instead swept up large pieces of rock fragments at an angle, rushing towards Lin Yi.
"Holy crap..."
Lin Yi quickly dodged and fled. Although he had transformed into the Void Wind Body and was not afraid of the power of the Profound Wind, he still had to be careful when facing the large number of sharp rock fragments enhanced by the power of the Profound Wind.
Seeing large swathes of sharp rock walls being accelerated by the power of the Profound Wind, transforming into deadly weapons and falling into the depths of the Black Abyss Cave, Lin Yi could only apologize to the three Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor below.
He really didn't mean it.
With the support of such Profound Wind power, even a grain of sand could probably pierce through the body of Eight-Realm Martial Saint in an instant, let alone this sharp rock wall that is as fast as a blade and as hard as purple ore.
The power of the Profound Wind is currently unstable, and cracks are spreading across the rock walls around the Black Abyss Cave, making it clear that it is not possible to explore it further.
Lin Yi lost interest in continuing his treasure hunt and decisively turned back to the Black Abyss Cave.
"Unfortunately, I didn't even manage to pick up a single trace of the Heaven and Earth Power..."
Lin Yi shook his head, then took out the Profound Origin Wind Bead. This pearl was his only gain from the Black Abyss Cave, and it was also the culprit that caused the rock wall at the wind gap to fall off. He hoped it wasn't some trashy Soul Artifact.
Soul Artifact, Martial Dao Spirit Artifact, and Sequence Spirit Artifacts are different; they can be directly bound by blood fusion.
Lin Yi dripped a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the Profound Origin Wind Bead. In an instant, the gray Stone Pearl shimmered with a purplish-brown light and merged into Lin Yi's finger.
After gaining control of the Profound Origin Wind Bead, Lin Yi seemed to have some enlightenment. With a flick of his finger, the violent Profound Wind that permeated the Black Abyss Cave converged into the Profound Origin Wind Bead at his fingertip like a whale sucking in waves.
The Profound Origin Wind Bead has a powerful suction force, which reduced the Profound Wind power at the Profound Wind Valley by 30% in just a few minutes.
At this moment, the many Martial Saint in the Meditation Chamber of the valley cliff were the most sensitive. Seeing the new changes that had occurred here, they began to curse again.
"Damn it, there was a fight going on below earlier, and now even the power of the Profound Wind) has weakened..."
"Hmph, if I find out who did this, I'll make sure they pay for it!"
Black Abyss Cave, Lin Yi also noticed that the Profound Wind power at the bottom of the valley had dropped significantly, so he quickly stopped and sealed the suction force of the Profound Origin Wind Bead.
Then, Lin Yi attached a small portion of Profound Wind power to his fingertip and unleashed it. With a snap, the concentrated Profound Wind power shot out like a black lightning bolt, accompanied by a piercing shriek, instantly disappearing into the depths of the mountain in front of him.
This strike actually pierced through half of the thick mountainside at the bottom of the valley, turning countless rocks into powder. Even the Qian Family's Qian Heaven's One-Finger Strike couldn't have achieved that.
Lin Yi looked surprised and delighted, and nodded. Through the simple test just now, he had figured out the secret of the Profound Origin Wind Bead.
It's quite simple. This bead can absorb the power of the Profound Wind and then release it through compression.
It has a kind of Eye of Thunder Punishment similar to his, which absorbs the power of Thunderstorm and releases it.
However, the Eye of Thunder Punishment has a limit, while the Profound Origin Wind Bead in front of us does not.
As long as the power of the Profound Wind is sufficient, the Profound Wind attack released by this object in an instant is enough to easily kill Eight-Realm Martial Saint Ancestor, which is truly terrifying.
Lin Yi has not yet reached the eighth realm, and when facing some Eight-Realm Martial Saint who possess Real Domain, he inevitably feels constrained. Now that he has the Profound Origin Wind Bead, he has an extra trump card.
As Lin Yi, the wind direction in the Black Abyss Cave reversed, changing from the internal absorption of Profound Wind to the external blowing of Profound Wind.
Some sharp rocks and fragments of rock were washed out first, disappearing into the wind overhead.
Lin Yi originally intended to absorb a Profound Wind and use [Wind Intent Perception] to check the situation below. Suddenly, a mangled, bloody severed arm and some rubble were brought out.
"Is this the arm of the Tai Shang Family Ancestor?"
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. The robes of the Tai Shang Family were mostly silver-colored, and this severed arm was wrapped in blood-stained silver cuffs, clearly belonging to the Tai Shang Family.
Looking at the cut of the severed arm, it is very clean, as if it was severed by a sharp blade falling from the rock face.
