Chapter 1571: Chapter 1569: Soul Remnant (Fifth Update)

Immediately, the dark light vanished completely, and the four strong ones from the Dark Clan were directly annihilated by the ice and flame. Two turned into ice shards, and two were burned to ashes.

”Overestimating themselves!”

Xiao Yifeng sneered. These people could barely hold their own against him outside, but within the Ancient Tombs, constrained by the Gathering Elixir Realm’s limits, he was the king here.

No matter how many people came, none were a match for him. Even if they were at the ninth level of the Gathering Elixir Realm, however many came, he would kill them all, and ultimately, victory would be his.

Within the Gathering Elixir Realm, Xiao Yifeng was absolutely an invincible existence.

After destroying these members of the Dark Clan, Xiao Yifeng continued to advance. At this time, he was also concerned about the safety of Beiming Shuang and Luo Qianyu. Even if they didn’t encounter danger within these Ancient Tombs,

if they ran into forces like those from the Shrine, it was inevitable that the opponents might take action against them. They only had the strength of the Fifth Layer of the Gathering Elixir Realm, and it was uncertain if they could cope.

Next, Xiao Yifeng encountered a large number of Spirit Beasts, masses of them at the third and fourth levels. However, all these Spirit Beasts became beasts dead under his knife, slain one by one, and their Beast Cores were collected by him.

Later, Xiao Yifeng arrived at a dilapidated great hall, filled with a cold and eerie aura.

”Be careful, there are a few powerful Soul Remnants here!”

Long Qian said abruptly.

Xiao Yifeng quickly discovered the presence of several white, human-like figures within the hall, which were the condensed Divine Souls of strong ones above the Divine Soul Realm.

Once reaching the Divine Soul Realm, one could condense a Divine Soul, which was equivalent to a Martial Artist’s second life. Once the physical body was shattered, this Divine Soul could continue to survive.

A powerful Martial Artist’s Divine Soul could survive for a thousand years, or even possess another’s body to be reborn, known as soul snatching.

However, within this hall, there were several Divine Souls, but these Divine Souls were all incomplete, only considered as Soul Remnants, evidently after a long time with little remaining Soul Power.

”These Divine Souls have probably survived for hundreds of thousands of years!”

Long Qian said abruptly, a statement that startled Xiao Yifeng.

”Hundreds of thousands of years! No way, how terrifying!”

Xiao Yifeng said with a shocked expression, finding it hard to imagine that these Divine Souls could survive for hundreds of thousands of years.

”Indeed, it’s terrifying. As far as I know, even a super strong one at the Zhu Zai Jing Jie Bie level can only maintain their Divine Soul for ten thousand years, and that’s if their Divine Soul is exceptionally powerful.”

”Or it may be due to certain special tools and weapons plus some special methods to survive for so long, but these Divine Souls in the hall indeed have a history of hundreds of thousands of years, possibly due to the nature of these Ancient Tombs.”

Long Qian said gravely.

At this moment, these few Soul Remnants appeared directly in front of Xiao Yifeng, causing him to immediately exhibit a cautious expression, fearing that these Soul Remnants might attempt to seize his body.

However, unexpectedly, these Soul Remnants, upon seeing Xiao Yifeng, revealed expressions of shock and fear.

”You... you’re still alive!”

”Weren’t you dead? How is this possible?”

These immensely powerful Soul Remnants expressed shock while looking at Xiao Yifeng, as if witnessing something unbelievable.

Xiao Yifeng was completely bewildered, utterly baffled by what they meant.

”Could the legend be true?”

”This... this can’t be!”

These Soul Remnants continued speaking in a language that Xiao Yifeng couldn’t understand, looking somewhat deranged.

”Senior, what’s wrong with them?”

Xiao Yifeng asked, full of confusion, completely unaware of what these Soul Remnants were up to.

”They must have mistaken you for someone else, someone who should have been dead or doesn’t exist, which is why they appear so surprised!”

Long Qian said gravely.

”Mistaken me for someone else!”

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with light, yet he felt an inexplicable sensation in his heart, a strange feeling rising within him, leaving him uncertain.

”Then what should we do now, Senior?”

Xiao Yifeng asked.

Just as Long Qian was about to speak, the Holy Artifact Soul Locking Chain within Xiao Yifeng’s body suddenly acted up, as if it wanted to break free from his body.

”What’s up with this Soul Lock Chain?”

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, feeling puzzled.

”This Soul Lock Chain is a weapon designed specifically for devouring souls, hence its name. It seems to want to devour these Soul Remnants!”

Long Qian explained.

”It can do that?”

Xiao Yifeng asked in surprise, then summoned the Soul Lock Chain.

As soon as the Soul Lock Chain appeared, it moved toward these Soul Remnants, releasing a dazzling light with terrifying devouring energy spreading from the chain.

Still in shock at Xiao Yifeng, these Soul Remnants screamed and were devoured by the Soul Lock Chain.

After devouring these Soul Remnants, the Soul Lock Chain exuded an immensely powerful aura, much stronger than before.

Xiao Yifeng grabbed the Soul Lock Chain, instantly feeling it filled with very powerful energy, its might enhanced.

”I didn’t expect that devouring souls could actually enhance the Soul Lock Chain’s power!”

Xiao Yifeng exclaimed in surprise.

”The Soul Lock Chain is most formidable against soul attacks. Now that it has devoured these Soul Remnants from super strong ones of hundreds of thousands of years ago, holding it, even a strong one of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Severing Realm is no match for it.”

Long Qian spoke gravely.

”Indeed, it’s a good weapon!”

Xiao Yifeng nodded with a smile, put away the Soul Lock Chain, and left the hall. However, he hadn’t gone far when he heard intense fighting, and quickly rushed over to see Beiming Shuang battling two experts from the Kunlun Divine Palace.

Beiming Shuang had now advanced to the Seventh Layer of the Gathering Elixir Realm, wielding a powerful King’s Sword, making her power comparable to a Ninth Layer expert. However, both of the Kunlun Divine Palace experts were at the Ninth Layer of the Gathering Elixir Realm.

Furthermore, they also wielded King’s Swords, and together, their attack power was terrifying. Although Beiming Shuang struggled to resist with all her might, she was still injured, with a long sword scar on her back, flowing with blood.

Bang!

At this moment, Beiming Shuang was knocked to the ground by their sword, and the two wielded their swords, charging at her to finish her off. Beiming Shuang’s expression turned indifferent, and her eyes closed involuntarily, flashing with a hint of regret.

Bang! Bang!

Just then, two dull crashing sounds rang out, and Beiming Shuang opened her eyes, seeing the two Kunlun Divine Palace experts who were about to kill her lying dead on the ground, with the one who acted being the arriving Xiao Yifeng.
