Murmur had no interest in wasting time talking to a mere mortal.
Although this mortal appears powerful, it is insignificant compared to its true form.
So Murmur began his attack.
A wave of ultrasonic energy enveloped the entire area.
Murmur had lost interest in toying with the Orc Warlock any longer and decided to unleash his ultimate attack to wipe them all out!
However, as light and shadow shifted, all sound waves were silenced.
The Taiji Diagram acts like an oversized silencer, turning this area into an absolutely silent zone.
No sound wave has any meaning.
Murmur is very strong.
However, it is an absolute energy body, not a physical entity.
Therefore, it is naturally weaker than an entity with the same energy intensity.
At least in this state, Murmur is no stronger than " Tyrant of the Dream " Eranikus.
Even if it possesses more insidious attack methods.
Murmur continued his attack.
Since ultrasound didn't work, it had to increase its attack power.
An even stronger shockwave came toward Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie didn't take it seriously and also activated the Holy Light and shadow, increasing their power.
He soon discovered:
Murmur, with its limited attack methods, is actually not that scary.
At this level, it's not a good match.
Or perhaps we could wipe out these Orc Warlock and see just how powerful the Demigod- level Murmur?
no need.
Elemental creatures have very limited attack methods to begin with.
Fire elemental creatures are related to fire anyway, and Elemental Lords of Sound are naturally related to sound, gravity, and vibration, nothing special.
At most, the attack power is just a bit greater.
Jiang Jie had already figured out Murmur's attack methods, so there was no need for him to understand them further.
He raised his hand, and even more Holy Light and shadow froze the entire space.
The Taiji Diagram calms the sound waves, like a rock amidst a thousand waves.
Jiang Jie lost interest and naturally attacked with full force.
Dragon of Holy Light, Shadow Dragon.
Two true dragons burst forth from his body, shattering the Elemental Lords of Sound's form.
It was driven back to its own world.
Jiang Jie did not move, nor did the Light and Shadow Taiji disappear.
He was sensing the power of Murmur.
He had no interest in studying sonic attack methods, after all, he hadn't learned martial arts like " Lion's Roar ".
However, he was somewhat interested in Murmur's ability to manipulate force fields, which would be helpful for him to perfect the Light and Shadow Taiji.
The Orc Warlock, having narrowly escaped death, were overjoyed.
But after the excitement came unease.
They looked at each other, then froze.
Because Jiang Jie didn't move.
The energy wall that was blocking them was still there; they couldn't leave.
They couldn't even communicate because the Taiji Diagram neutralized all sound waves.
Jiang Jie stood there for three hours.
Even after Lord Jaraxxus had killed all the remaining demons and Orcs in the Shadow Labyrinth and arrived here, he was still pondering.
Lord Jaraxxus said nothing and stood there waiting.
The Light and Shadow Taiji slowly rotated, and Jiang Jie opened his eyes.
The light and darkness yin-yang ...
"How did it go?" Jiang Jie asked.
"They're all dead. The Maw of the Damned is full and digesting," said Lord Jaraxxus.
Jiang Jie nodded.
Once fully digested and absorbed, the power of the Maw of the Damned will surely become stronger, which will help maintain the balance of the Three Talents.
"Then, I'll leave this place to you as well."
Jiang Jie took a step and was already thirty meters away.
Looking at the remaining Orc Warlock, Lord Jaraxxus raised his battle axe.
"Young man, your strength is astonishing."
At the entrance to the Mana-Tombs, Haramad looked at Jiang Jie and said, "You drove away Murmur, but that wasn't your full power. Your body is amazing; even the Ethereal detector couldn't detect your full energy. You've impressed me."
"Do you have eyes? Why don't you look at me with new eyes?"
Jiang Jie shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Let's not talk about those things anymore. Prince Haramad Murmur has already been driven away."
"Now you should give me my due reward. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind wiping out all the Ethereal in Outland, and then seeing if I can hunt you down." "Anyone who wants to assassinate me could line up from Auchindoun all the way to Netherstorm. You'd better get a number, young man."
Haramad didn't take it seriously.
His true form isn't here, nor is the Ethereal Headquarters, nor even the main force.
The Outland are merely one market for the Consortium; even if they were to abandon them, it wouldn't matter much.
Although there aren't many Ethereal here, it would still be a pity if they actually died.
Haramad had no intention of defaulting on his debt.
The Consortium operates a business and enjoys a good reputation throughout the universe.
Besides, Haramad really didn't want to offend a powerful figure like Jiang Jie.
"My engineers will help you absorb the pure soul energy from the Ethereal Soul Collector; only they can do that. If you try to absorb it yourself, you'll easily absorb impurities."
Haramad said, "Then I'll be waiting for you in the Netherstorm!"
"Will you participate in the battle against Dimensius?" Jiang Jie suddenly asked.
"I'm too far away to come." Dimensius's image disappeared completely.
Jiang Jie shook his head.
Old fox!
This guy is really careful; he'll never show his true form.
He must be among the most mysterious and difficult-to-kill beings in the entire universe!
"Honorable human, please follow me."
Captain Kaftiz led Jiang Jie deep into the Mana-Tombs with utmost respect.
This is Nexus-Prince Shaffar's private room, and also the core of the entire Ethereal Soul Collector system.
Something resembling a stargate stood in the center of the room.
Many catheters extend from the outside and connect here.
"Of the entire Ethereal Soul Collector system, only this place can absorb the purest soul energy."
Kaftiz said, "Honorable human, you are fortunate. Shaffar's soul has reached a bottleneck; he can no longer strengthen his soul for the time being. Therefore, the Ethereal Soul Collector contains enough for five years, enough to create five Legendary- level souls. Well, the bottleneck still exists; he cannot create any more."
Jiang Jie nodded.
He had already sensed the strength of Shaffar's soul during Shaffar battle.
His soul was stronger than mine, reaching the peak of High-tier Legendary level, probably because he absorbed a lot of soul energy from the Ethereal Soul Collector.
This means that his absolute mental strength and the energy he manipulates are not as powerful as his soul, so his strength is actually inferior to the top Legendary powerhouses, even less than Kael'thas, which is why he was easily killed.
The distance between Legendary and Demigod is a single step, yet it is difficult to cross.
"Then, let's begin," Jiang Jie said calmly.
"Please stand inside," Kaftiz said.
Jiang Jie did as instructed.
Soon, the Ethereal Soul Collector was activated.
A series of Lightning flashed and then focused on Jiang Jie.
Strange conduits connected to Jiang Jie's body via suction cups, and thousands of needles, as fine as cow hair, pierced into Jiang Jie's skin.
Then, pure soul energy flowed into Jiang Jie's body through the tubes and needles.
Then, driven by Jiang Jie's cultivation technique, it merged into Jiang Jie's soul.
There is no absorption rate of 100%.
If you directly absorb soul fragments and soul energy that contain impurities, it's like eating a regular meal—there are too many parts that cannot be digested and absorbed, so the absorption rate is naturally extremely low.
Absorbing pure soul energy in this way is like receiving a nutritional injection; although it's uncomfortable, the effect is indeed very good, with a high rate of digestion and absorption.
The equivalent of five ordinary Legendary- level soul energies was injected into Jiang Jie's body.
Most of it dissipated, while a small portion was absorbed by Jiang Jie.
The entire process lasted for three full days.
Three days later, all connections disappeared, and Jiang Jie opened his eyes.
He felt that his soul was stronger than ever before, twice as strong as it had ever been.
In terms of sheer strength, his soul had reached the pinnacle of High-tier Legendary, and like Shaffar before him, it could no longer be improved in this way.
Soul strength does not represent absolute soul power.
The more important question is how to harness such a powerful soul.
But at least, Jiang Jie made up for his biggest weakness.
This trip was worth it!
"Tell Prince Haramad that I really like this thing, and perhaps we can talk about a long-term deal. You should be able to mass-produce Ethereal Soul Collector, right?" Jiang Jie looked at "Captain" Kaftiz.
"In fact, it's not possible."
Kaftiz shook his head and said, "Creating Ethereal Soul Collector requires extremely rare materials, which are very difficult to find."
"Oh? That's a pity."
Jiang Jie smiled, showing little sign of regret.
It doesn't matter anymore.
At least for the time being, I don't need the Ethereal Soul Collector.
He will need to spend some time getting to know his current soul, and then achieve a breakthrough at the soul level.
"If you have any other good products, please recommend them to me. I think I'm your best customer, without a doubt."
Jiang Jie smiled and left the Mana-Tombs.
There's one last place I haven't visited in Auchindoun:
Sethekk Halls.
