The power of his soul spread slowly to every corner of the warship like an invisible net. Han Xuanji held his breath and focused his mind, sensing the energy fluctuations around him.
According to intelligence, the Spirit of Hongmeng has no physical form and is extremely difficult to conceal. However, low-level Spirit of Hongmeng sometimes emit a special soul fluctuation. Capturing this moment is the key to finding it.
A moment later, Han Xuanji's expression suddenly hardened. His divine soul sensed a faint yet chilling fluctuation coming from the depths of the corridor on the left side of the warship. The fluctuation flickered, and without a doubt, it was the aura of the Spirit of Hongmeng.
"Found it!"
Overjoyed, he instantly sprang into action, his steps light and silent, his Sword Dao Principle quietly circulating throughout his body, the silver soul Sword Qi at his fingertips growing ever stronger, as he raced towards the depths of the corridor.
Meanwhile, in the cultivation room where Hun Qianling was, she was focused on her cultivation when she suddenly sensed the sharp alarm inside the warship. Her Daoist aura instantly became disordered, and she frowned slightly.
"Is it a Eternal Dao Master Realm Spirit of Hongmeng?"
Her heart tightened, and she instantly stopped cultivating.
She knew all too well how troublesome the Spirit of Hongmeng was, as it had no physical form and was adept at concealment. Although Han Xuanji was exceptionally talented and possessed a powerful soul, in her eyes he had not yet reached the Eternal Dao Master Realm and might not be able to handle it.
Worried that Han Xuanji might be in danger, Hun Qianling didn't dare to delay for a moment. She waved her hand and opened the door of the cultivation room, then rushed off like an arrow towards the direction where the alarm sounded, her Cultivation Method quietly circulating, ready to support Han Xuanji at any time.
As she sped along, she thought to herself:
"I hope Han Xuanji can hold on."
On the other side.
Although the corridor was brightly lit, a chilling atmosphere permeated the air silently, as if it were empty.
However, after a glint of light flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes, he saw a humanoid spirit shrouded in dark gray hovering in the center of the corridor. Its face had no features, its figure was elusive, and it was surrounded by a distorted Qi of Eternity. It was the invading Eternal Dao Master Realm Spirit of Hongmeng.
"Using the Divine Pupils of Fate at the Eternal Dao Master Realm does have some use."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
He discovered that the Spirit of Hongmeng seemed to be probing the Spiritual Qi within the warship. Sensing Han Xuanji's approach, the humanoid spirit suddenly turned its head and emitted a sharp, piercing screech.
The sound was extremely piercing and directly affected a person's soul.
Fortunately, Han Xuanji was prepared; otherwise, being caught off guard like that would have resulted in some minor injuries.
Seeing that this move had no effect, the humanoid spirit lunged at Han Xuanji.
"Good timing!"
A fierce glint flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and the Power of Eternity within his body erupted instantly. The Sword Dao Principle and the Eternal Soul Sword Divine Ability merged perfectly. With a wave of his hand, a silver soul sword, refined to its extreme, suddenly took shape. The sword was surrounded by a sharp and domineering aura, and it pierced straight towards the Spirit of Hongmeng.
Although the Spirit of Hongmeng had no physical form, it was extremely agile. It tried to dodge the fatal blow by turning its body to the side, but Han Xuanji had already used the Fate Dao Principle to vaguely deduce its evasive trajectory. With a slight movement of his fingertips, the silver soul sword instantly changed direction, like a leech, and closely followed the head of the Spirit of Hongmeng.
"Sizzle--"
The silver soul sword struck the core of the Spirit of Hongmeng's head with pinpoint accuracy, emitting a piercing sound. The gray spirit twisted violently, emitting a mournful cry, and the Qi of Eternity around it dissipated continuously, causing the soul to become transparent.
The Eternal Soul Sword is specifically designed to counter soul-type beings. Furthermore, with Han Xuanji breaking through to the Eternal Dao Master Second Layer, his divine soul power surged, and with the blessing of the Sword Dao Principle, the power of his Spirit of Hongmeng to withstand.
Han Xuanji remained expressionless, and with another burst of power from his fingertips, he channeled a continuous stream of Power of Eternity into the Soul Sword. The silver sword light surged, completely enveloping the soul of the Spirit of Hongmeng.
After a shrill scream, the gray spirit completely disintegrated, leaving only a pure white crystal, about the size of a fingernail, slowly drifting down from its "corpse".
Just then, Hun Qianling rushed to the entrance of the corridor. When she saw the scene before her, she stopped abruptly, her eyes flashing with shock and surprise.
The gray spirit had already dissipated, and Han Xuanji stood in the center of the corridor, his aura still intact. In his hand, he held a luminous white Soul Crystal, his expression calm and showing no signs of injury.
" Xuanji Daoist Xuanji, you... you actually killed it?"
Hun Qianling quickly stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over Han Xuanji. Only after confirming he was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief, her tone filled with disbelief.
"This was a Primordial Spirit of Hongmeng at the Eternal Dao Master Realm, extremely troublesome. You managed to deal with it so quickly, that's amazing!"
Filled with curiosity, she couldn't help but ask:
"How did you do that? The Spirit of Hongmeng has no physical form; ordinary attacks can't even harm it. How could you kill it with a single blow?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji smiled faintly, her tone calm and natural:
"Nothing special, it's just that my spiritual power is strong enough to counter these incorporeal spiritual beings."
He didn't explain much about the Eternal Soul Sword and the Sword Dao Principle.
This is something you can't say.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji Hun Qianling nodded slightly. She vaguely felt that Spirit of Hongmeng just now seemed somewhat familiar, as if it were similar to a certain soul-path Divine Ability in her clan. However, she already knew that Han Xuanji had outstanding talent in the soul, and although it was astonishing that he could comprehend such Divine Ability without a teacher, it was also reasonable.
She decided not to delve any further, and simply said:
" Xuanji Daoist Xuanji, you're really lucky; you actually got a Soul Crystal."
Is this thing hard to fall off?
Han Xuanji grasped the Soul Crystal, feeling its cool touch. A surge of pure and powerful soul energy flowed from his fingertips into his body, nourishing his divine soul and making his already eternal-level divine soul even more solid.
"It's naturally difficult, and not all Spirit of Hongmeng condense Soul Crystal after death; it's purely a matter of luck."
Hun Qianling nodded and explained:
" Soul Crystal are extremely precious. They are treasures formed from the eternal-level soul power condensed after the fall of the Spirit of Hongmeng. They are specifically used to enhance a cultivator's soul cultivation. For cultivators at the Eternal Dao Master Realm, they are an extremely rare and sought-after cultivation resource."
Han Xuanji nodded, indicating that she understood.
After all, cultivating the soul is not easy, and the power of the soul affects many aspects of life. Generally speaking, cultivators with naturally strong soul power are basically people with high talent.
Han Xuanji carefully stored the Soul Crystal into his System Space, a smile appearing on his face. With this Soul Crystal, his spiritual strength would surely rise to another level, and the power of the Eternal Soul Sword would also increase accordingly.
It was a windfall.
Han Xuanji's gaze swept across the corridor, then he used his divine sense to scan the entire warship again. He couldn't be careless; if there were any hidden ones, he would be doomed if he were ambushed while in seclusion.
