In the depths of the secret passageway was a large hall. In the middle of the large hall was a heavy stone door. The stone door was dark blue in color and emitted an ancient aura. Behind the stone door was the final secret chamber.
At this moment, Xing Jue was standing in front of the stone door with his eyes closed. He looked calm on the outside, but his body was accumulating a powerful Soul Force.
Suddenly, Xing Jue's eyes opened. At the same time, a powerful Spiritual Strength spread out. However, when the Spiritual Strength collided with the stone door, it bounced back. The rebound of the Spiritual Strength caused Xing Jue's body to tremble and he couldn't help but take a few steps back …
Seeing this, Xiaoqian quickly came over and supported Xing Jue. She asked anxiously, "Master, can you feel it?"
"I can't. This stone door is very strange. My Soul Force can't penetrate it." Xing Jue shook his head helplessly.
According to the people from the Soul Eater School, this last secret room was very dangerous. However, Xing Jue and Xiaoqian didn't know what danger they were talking about. Therefore, Xing Jue wanted to use his Soul Force to check, but he couldn't.
"Master, let me force it open." Xiaoqian smiled at Xing Jue.
Xing Jue nodded slightly and retreated. In fact, after coming to the secret room, Xing Jue and Xiaoqian had carefully looked for the switch to open the secret room. However, they found that there was no switch at all. Xiaoqian had already suggested to open the stone door by force, but Xing Jue was afraid of the danger and didn't let Xiaoqian do it. But now it seemed that if they wanted to enter the secret room, they could only open it by force.
After seeing Xing Jue retreat, Xiaoqian came before the stone door. She clenched her fist and powerful Martial Qi began to condense in it.
Feeling the powerful Martial Qi in Xiaoqian's hand, Xing Jue couldn't help but sigh.
Because Xing Jue could feel that the Martial Qi in Xiaoqian's hand contained a terrifying power. It was even stronger than Xing Jue's Flame Dragon Bullet. And this was just the Martial Qi that Xiaoqian had casually accumulated.
"Break!" Under Xing Jue's attentive gaze, Xiaoqian swung her arm, leaving behind a series of afterimages as she smashed towards the stone door …
"Rumble!" The powerful force bombarded the stone door and even the hall trembled. But what surprised Xiaoqian and Xing Jue was that under such a powerful attack, the stone door was not damaged at all.
"Damn it, I don't believe it!" Seeing that the stone door was not broken, Xiaoqian was a little angry. She clenched her fist again and this time, a large amount of red light began to condense in Xiaoqian's fist. One circle, two circles, three circles, ten circles … The red light continued to condense and the power in Xiaoqian's hand became more and more terrifying.
"What a powerful Martial Skill!" Feeling the terror of the Martial Skill, Xing Jue couldn't help but take a few steps back to avoid being affected.
"Break for me!" Xiao Qian roared and once again fiercely smashed down on the stone door …
"Rumble." The entire hall started to shake violently the instant it struck the stone door. However, after the shaking subsided, the stone door still did not break. The only result was a shallow dent on the thick and heavy stone door.
"Damn it!" Looking at the stone door that even her strongest Martial Skill could not break, Xiaoqian was completely enraged. She clenched her right fist and circles of red light condensed again. But just as Xiaoqian was about to launch another attack … "Buzz!" Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the stone door. Then, under the shocked gazes of Xiaoqian and Xing Jue, it slowly rose.
"It actually opened by itself?" Looking at the stone door that was slowly rising, Xing Jue said in confusion. And Xiaoqian also hurriedly retreated to Xing Jue's side. She was very afraid of any unforeseen events. Actually, she was not afraid of anything. What she was most afraid of was Xing Jue being in danger.
Perhaps because she was created by the Soul Eater Clan, Xiaoqian had a kind of fear and concern for Xing Jue from the bottom of her heart. In other words, she did not feel disgusted because of Xing Jue's existence. On the contrary, she felt happy because of Xing Jue's existence. Not only was she obedient and respectful to Xing Jue, she was also extremely concerned about Xing Jue. In her heart, even Xing Jue's life was much more important than her own.
After the door rose, the two of them were shocked to find that there was no monster in the secret room as they had imagined. On the contrary, there was actually a young man sitting in the secret room.
The man's eyes were tightly shut and he looked very young. What made Xing Jue feel the most strange was that the man was actually floating in the air. Moreover, his body was a little special and seemed a little illusory.
"A soul body?" Looking at the man, Xiaoqian also said in surprise.
"You said that he is a soul body?" Looking at the illusory man, Xing Jue had also guessed that he was a soul body. However, he did not dare to confirm it. After hearing what Xiaoqian said, he then came to a sudden realization. Following that, he was shocked by the man's strength.
A soul body was a kind of rebirth after a person died. However, the requirements for this kind of rebirth were very high. First of all, one's strength must reach the level of a Martial God. Moreover, one must also have a strong Soul Power. In other words, even if one had reached the level of a Martial God, if one did not have a strong Soul Power, one would not be able to transform into a soul body after death.
"Someone's finally here?" At this moment, the spirit body suddenly spoke. Moreover, his tightly shut eyes also slowly opened.
Seeing that the soul body was actually speaking to them, Xiaoqian hurriedly went in front of them. Moreover, a large amount of Martial Power began to condense in her hands.
Seeming to have seen through Xiaoqian's wariness, the soul body said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I won't harm you."
Seeing that the soul body did not seem to have any enmity, Xing Jue said respectfully, "May I know who you are, and why have you stayed here for so long?"
The soul body smiled slightly at Xing Jue and slowly said, "I am the leader of the Soul Devouring School. I am only here to survive."
"What? The leader of the Soul Devouring School? You … weren't you killed by the people from the Yufeng Pavilion back then? " After hearing the soul body's words, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked. According to the Outer Pavilion's Head Elder, the leader of the Soul Devouring School had already been killed by them back then.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the soul body said to Xing Jue with a smile, "Haha, it seems that you know about what happened to me back then?"
The soul body maintained a smile, giving off an extremely amiable feeling. However, Xiaoqian was constantly on guard against her.
"To be honest, I am also a disciple of the Yufeng Pavilion, so I have heard a little about you." Xing Jue also nodded.
"That's right. Back then, I was indeed killed. However, it was also thanks to them that I woke up from the backlash of my soul and forcefully suppressed that evil thought."
"After that, I fled here. However, due to some reason, I am unable to leave this secret room. Because as long as I leave this secret room, that evil thought will germinate again. And in the state of this soul body, as long as I suffer another backlash, I will never be able to wake up again." The man slowly said.
At this moment, Xiaoqian suddenly said impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense. Is the Soul Devouring Art with you?"
After hearing Xiaoqian's words, the man was a little surprised. Then he looked at Xiaoqian with a smile and said, "You actually know about the Soul Devouring Art?"
"Nonsense. The Soul Devouring Art was originally this mother's." Xiaoqian glanced at the man and said loudly.
"Oh? You are the Soul Eater Witch back then? "The man was still smiling as he said to Xiaoqian. However, there was also a trace of surprise on his face.
Just as Xiaoqian was about to speak again, she was stopped by Xing Jue. Then Xing Jue said politely, "To be honest, this junior's purpose for coming here is for the Soul Devouring Art. May I ask senior if the Soul Devouring Art is still with you?"
"That's right. It is indeed with me." After hearing Xing Jue's words, the middle-aged man was surprised again. Then he looked at Xing Jue with a suspicious gaze and said.
"Senior, the Soul Devouring Art originally belonged to my clan. Since the Soul Devouring Art is with senior, I wonder if senior can return the Soul Devouring Art to this junior?" Hearing the man admit that the Soul Devouring Art was with him, Xing Jue was instantly overjoyed.
"No." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man actually rejected Xing Jue without even thinking.
"Why? Could it be that the Soul Devouring Art is still useful to senior? "Xing Jue asked in a puzzled manner. Logically speaking, the man's current situation was caused by the Soul Devouring Art. He should hate the Soul Devouring Art very much, but why was he unwilling to hand it over?
"That's right. The reason why I am able to maintain my consciousness is because of the Soul Devouring Art. No matter who you are, I will definitely not hand over the Soul Devouring Art to you. Because I don't want to become that bloodthirsty monster again." The man shook his head and said.
"Master, don't talk so much with him. Just kill him." Xiaoqian finally said impatiently.
"Hahaha … A mere Martial God can't even open this stone door, and you still want to hurt me?" The man suddenly laughed and his words were filled with ridicule.
"Hmph, a Martial God at the Beginner Stage. It's more than enough to deal with a Soul Body like you." Xiaoqian snorted coldly. Then, her figure moved and she rushed towards the Soul Body.
Facing Xiaoqian, the Soul Body smiled slightly. Then, he punched out and a powerful Soul Energy surged out.
Xiaoqian was not to be outdone. She waved her sleeve and a powerful Martial Qi collided with the Soul Energy. "Bang!" Following a loud explosion, the Soul Energy actually cancelled out Xiaoqian's Martial Qi.
"So Soul Bodies can really use Soul Energy to fight." Seeing the Soul Body actually use Soul Energy to attack, Xing Jue couldn't help but sigh.
In the Martial Heaven Continent, everyone had Soul Energy. But for ordinary people, Soul Energy could only be used to probe their opponent's strength and search for things. It was practically impossible to use Soul Energy in battle.
However, there was an exception to everything. When a powerhouse's physical body was destroyed and transformed into a soul body, they could use the soul body as a means of battle. Moreover, the soul body also had a power that ordinary people didn't have, and that was self-destruction. The self-destruction of a soul body was no joke. That kind of powerful attack could simply flatten a small city.
"Bang!" Another intense exchange occurred. Xiaoqian was actually blown back by the Soul Body's attack. Moreover, when she landed beside Xing Jue, a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Hmph, to have such strength, isn't it all because of my clan's Soul Devouring Art?" Xiaoqian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said unwillingly.
"Master, when I exchanged blows with that Soul Body just now, I discovered that the Soul Devouring Art is hidden within the Soul Body's body. When I fight to the death with him, at the crucial moment, you should pour your Soul Strength into your hand and then stab it into his chest to extract the Soul Devouring Art." Just as Xing Jue was thinking about whether or not to use the Heavenly Lightning Talisman to deal with the Soul Body, Xiaoqian's voice suddenly rang out in Xing Jue's mind. This was a Soul Transmission. Only experts like Wu Zun knew how to use it.
* whoosh *
Before Xing Jue could reply, Xiaoqian once again shot towards the Soul Body.
"You overestimate yourself." Facing Xiaoqian, the Soul Body's mouth curled into a cold smile as it spoke disdainfully.
But just as Xiaoqian was about to reach it, her body suddenly changed. A faint Soul began to emit from her body. Furthermore, that Soul seemed to be burning, constantly emitting a hot gas.
"Soul Ignition? How is that possible? "Looking at Xiaoqian's change, the Soul Body's expression suddenly changed as it spoke in shock.
Soul Ignition was a method to increase one's combat strength. However, this method of combat could only be used by Soul Bodies. However, Xiaoqian's body was created from Soul Strength, so she could naturally use this power.
