"Wow, this place is much grander than the cave from before."
"Huh? Is that magma down there?"
After passing through the spirit formation gate, what appeared before Xing Jue and Xue Mei was a circular cave. The cave was very wide, but the center seemed to be a small valley. At the bottom of the valley was tumbling red liquid. There was no special aura coming from it, but it looked like the magma deep underground.
There were countless holes that were about two meters in diameter around the cave. They were densely spread around the cave like an ant's nest. Although he knew that there might be deadly and dangerous things hiding in there, Xing Jue was in a good mood because he was getting along well with Xue Mei.
"That's not magma, it's the blood of my people!" Xue Mei looked at the boiling red liquid in the valley with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Blood? What does the blood do? "Xing Jue asked in surprise.
"It's to provide food for the vengeful spirits and blood souls to grow!"
"Look at how much the blood fodder has been reduced. They're growing very fast. They must've reached the stage of evolution."
"If that's the case, they're not just twice as powerful as the blood souls from before. They might be a few times more powerful!" Xue Mei suddenly looked at the holes around the wall. Her eyes were filled with vigilance.
Gulp!
Xing Jue could not help but gulp when he heard that. Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. A few times more powerful than the blood souls from before? He looked at the holes on the wall again. There were at least thousands of them. Xing Jue felt powerless just thinking about such a large number of powerful blood souls.
"W-what's going on with this barrier?"
Faced with such a scene, Xing Jue quickly looked at the barrier that he had just passed through. However, he was shocked to find that the barrier had disappeared, and there was only a thick wall behind him.
Seeing Xing Jue's terrible expression, Xue Mei glanced at him indifferently. "Stop looking. You can only enter but not leave. There's no way out except forward!"
"Are you sure your parents left you a treasure?" Xing Jue's pale face instantly turned purple when he heard Xue Mei's words. This was because he felt that this was not a treasure left behind by parents for their children. This was simply a grave that was meant to send people to their deaths.
"If you're scared, just stand behind me." Xue Mei rolled her eyes at Xing Jue with a disdainful expression.
Rumble! Rumble!
Right at this moment, a series of deafening explosions suddenly sounded from all directions, entering their ears in an unending manner. At this moment, Xing Jue could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet trembling. The walls around him were trembling, and even the blood pool at the bottom of the valley was beginning to churn violently, as if it wanted to rush to the shore.
"Sister, stand behind me!"
"I'll hold them off. You find a chance to refine it!"
Seeing this, Xing Jue also realized what was about to happen. He hurriedly took down the Black Curse Sword on his shoulder and channeled his Soul Force into it, acting like he was ready for battle. This was because he could also sense countless terrifying auras rapidly approaching from all directions.
Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
In an instant, countless strange chirps echoed in the huge cave. The sound was so ear-piercing that it entered one's ears and heart. Not only was one's heart affected, but even one's soul was affected and trembled. At this moment, a large number of figures began flying out of the caves around the cave and appeared before Xing Jue and Xue Mei's eyes.
At this moment, Xing Jue completely regretted entering this place. At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with fear. This was because the Resentment Bloody Soul that appeared before him was no longer the tadpole-like Resentment Bloody Soul that was only half a meter in size.
This was a Resentment Bloody Soul that was more than a meter long and close to the size of a human. Apart from the pair of white eyes that emitted resentment, they also had two long arms with a pair of sharp claws. Most importantly, the aura they emitted was several times stronger than the Resentment Bloody Souls from before.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
When the Resentment Bloody Souls flew out of the cave and saw Xing Jue and Xue Mei, they did not stop for a moment. They waved their sharp claws and pressed down on Xing Jue and Xue Mei with ear-piercing chirps. They looked like a group of hungry vultures that had finally found fresh food and could not wait to eat it alone without sharing it with their companions.
"Retreat behind me and don't move!"
Just as Xing Jue was staring blankly at the Resentment Bloody Souls that he had no confidence in dealing with, Xue Mei's slender, lily-white hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Xing Jue's shoulder. She threw Xing Jue behind her.
"You …"
Seeing that Xue Mei had blocked his way, Xing Jue was even more shocked. Just as he was about to resist, he was shocked to discover that Xue Mei's aura was several times stronger than before. She had actually recovered the strength of an intermediate-stage Wargod.
"Roar ~"
After pulling Xing Jue back, Xue Mei's body trembled slightly. A majestic blood-red gas burst out of her small body like a flood that had broken through a dam or an awakened dragon. The majestic aura was so great that even Xing Jue was shaken.
At this moment, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that the gas emitted by Xue Mei's body was no longer just gas. It also carried the viscous feeling of blood. When the gas spread out, it looked more like a thick bloody mist. Most importantly, her strength was much stronger than before.
At this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why Xue Mei still chose to enter despite knowing the dangers inside. It turned out that she had already recovered her strength. It turned out that she had enough confidence in dealing with these ferocious Bloody Souls.
"Roar ~"
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp ~"
As Xue Mei spoke, the blood-red gas she emitted was like a formless, bloodthirsty devil. It spread out with a terrifying sound that sounded like both the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. In an instant, it swallowed the dozen or so resentful Bloody Souls. The Bloody Souls didn't even have the time to scream before they turned into blood-red gas and were refined by Xue Mei.
"What a terrifying body …"
Xing Jue couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as he watched the scene unfold before him. She recovered her strength in such a short amount of time and even improved it to the next level. Xing Jue couldn't imagine. If Xue Mei refined all the Bloody Souls here, would she directly break through to the advanced stage Wargod level?
Such a terrifying cultivation speed was terrifying just thinking about it. Even though Xing Jue's cultivation speed was already monstrous thanks to the Soul Devouring Art, he paled in comparison to Xue Mei. They couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
"Roar ~ ~"
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp ~ ~"
While Xing Jue was marveling at Xue Mei's Body of Evil Spirits, Xue Mei was already locked in battle with the savage Bloody Souls. The bloody mist she emitted had already condensed into two giant hands that were several meters long. The giant hands stirred in the air, and every time they waved, several Bloody Souls would fall into them and be refined.
However, no matter how strong Sister Blood was and how terrifying her attacks were, she still couldn't gain the upper hand. That was because there were too many vengeful blood souls here. Even though there were already hundreds of them, there were still more blood souls gushing out from the surrounding caves. It was as if there was no end to them.
They didn't seem to have any intelligence, and they seemed to have lost their minds. They didn't seem to be afraid of Xue Mei's blood-red gas at all, and they attacked Xing Jue and the others with no regard for their lives.
Under such a powerful attack, Xue Mei's strength was greatly restricted. Gradually, she could no longer refine the Bloody Souls as she pleased. All she could do was block their attacks with all her might while looking for opportunities to refine the Bloody Souls one by one.
"Roar ~ ~"
"Chirp chirp chirp ~"
At that moment, disturbing cries and roars filled Xing Jue's ears. It was as if two ferocious devils were fighting each other. Even though Xue Mei's power had recovered and she was very powerful, her strength was still insufficient against so many Bloody Souls' attacks.
"What a cunning fellow."
Xing Jue could not help but frown as he watched the scene unfold before him. He realized that it wasn't that the Bloody Souls had no intelligence. Instead, it was the exact opposite. If they fled like the Bloody Souls outside, they would create opportunities for Xue Mei and cause them to die even faster.
On the contrary, if they fought Xue Mei with all their might, they would have a higher chance of winning. In other words, if the stalemate continued, they would have a 100% chance of winning.
"Looks like I can't just watch from the sidelines anymore."
Seeing that Xue Mei was gradually losing, Xing Jue could no longer hold himself back. Even though he was insignificant against so many Bloody Souls and his attacks were completely ineffective against them, Xing Jue suddenly thought of an idea.
However, Xing Jue suddenly thought of a method. It was an almost crazy idea, but in such a situation, Xing Jue would rather stake everything on one throw and boldly try it.
"Bastards, I'll show you the Spirit Eater Race's dark soul!"
Bang!
Suddenly, Xing Jue let out a loud roar, and a thunderous sound erupted from his body. At the same time, the black soul that resided in the depths of his body surged out of his body like a dragon that had emerged from the sea or a ferocious tiger that had descended from the mountains. Its aura was actually not any weaker than Xue Mei's bloody mist. In fact, it was even stronger.
"Roar!"
When Xing Jue's soul power surged out, it actually condensed into a dark black dragon that was dozens of meters long. The dark black dragon circled in the sky, using its lantern-sized white eyes to look down at the Blood Souls that were constantly rushing over. It was like a king that had descended to the world, looking down at a group of weak shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
