"That's only a remnant soul. It doesn't have any intelligence, and is only a guardian. I can't stop it."
"I'm afraid that those who entered the spirit formation gate today will all die," the Soul Exalt concluded.
That was the truth. No one was able to escape from Old Man Yun Gui. In a panic, Bai Ye unleashed his Pseudo Exalted Artifact.
Although it was only a replica, it was still extremely terrifying. When it was unleashed with full power, it was capable of withstanding an attack from a mid-level Asura Martial God.
But even so, it was completely useless before Old Man Yun Gui. In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye and the others were all devoured by the black gaseous substance.
After devouring all the people that had attempted to enter the spirit formation gate, Old Man Cloud Ghost looked at Xing Jue with a gaze filled with killing intent. He did not say anything, and with a shift of his body, he entered the spirit formation entrance.
It was as if the spirit formation gate was truly a lake, and he was the guardian of the lake. He would mercilessly kill anyone who dared to enter.
"How terrifying. What kind of soul skill is that?" Xing Jue gasped in admiration. The black gaseous substance was simply too terrifying. It was like a bottomless pit that could devour everything.
"It's not a soul skill. At least, I've never seen Old Man Yun Gui use it before. It should be a special technique," the Soul Exalt explained.
"What do we do now?" Xing Jue asked. After witnessing what had happened earlier, he didn't dare to approach the spirit formation gate again.
"Earlier, Old Man Yun Gui's remnant soul said very clearly that those without a Man's Key will die. What are you afraid of with a Man's Key? Just jump in, "the Soul Exalt replied.
"Are you certain?"
Xing Jue felt a little guilty. Although he had already guessed that the Man's Key he gathered in the Unknown Domain might be a Man's Key, he didn't want to die without knowing why.
"Is there anyone in the world who understands Old Man Yun Gui better than this Exalt? Trust me. There's no mistake, "the Soul Exalt said with certainty.
"Very well, I'll risk it this time."
Seeing that, Xing Jue deeply breathed in. Then, he strode forward and prepared to walk towards the entrance of the Spirit Formation that took the lives of several hundred experts.
"Buzz."
But right at this moment, Xing Jue's expression changed drastically because he could feel a powerful force approaching him from behind at an extremely fast speed. It was so fast that Xing Jue was unable to dodge it.
"Soul Eruption!" At this critical moment, how could Xing Jue dare to be negligent? With a thought, he displayed his strongest life-saving technique.
"Rumble ~ ~"
A loud bang resounded and a violent energy ripple swept out. However, Xing Jue stepped out of the ripple unscathed.
"Whooo ~ ~ ~"
At this moment, Xing Jue was surrounded by black souls. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at the deep hall in front of him. He really wanted to know who was plotting against him.
"You do have some tricks up your sleeve. Unfortunately, you will still die here because only one person can enter the barrier, and that person is me!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. At the same time, a familiar figure appeared from the depths of the hall. After seeing this person, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked.
"It's you?" Xing Jue's face was filled with astonishment.
"What? Are you surprised? Surprised that I didn't jump in with the others when we both opened the spirit formation gate? "The person smiled faintly. This person was naturally Lu Yuan, who had inserted the key with Xing Jue.
"I didn't expect you to be so scheming." Xing Jue suddenly came to a realization.
Previously, the situation was tense, so he did not notice Lu Yuan's movements. After that, when the Remnant Soul of the Cloud Ghost appeared, he did not see Lu Yuan either. Only now did he know that Lu Yuan had long hidden himself. He seemed to have guessed that the spirit formation gate would be dangerous.
"It's not scheming, it's intelligence."
"It's clearly written outside that there are three keys, and none of them can be missing. In the end, someone still chose to jump down. Who can they blame?" Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly as he walked toward the execution room.
"Earlier, Old Man Cloud Ghost said that those who enter the remnant without the Human Key will die. It's useless even if you kill me," Xing Jue said calmly.
"Fool."
"The Human Key does not exist. It represents the human body."
"This remnant is the remnant of Old Man Cloud Ghost's inheritance. Those who are able to enter the final spirit formation gate are fated to become Old Man Cloud Ghost's successor."
"Old Man Cloud Ghost was so powerful back then. Naturally, his successor cannot be too stupid. Thus, this is a test of intelligence. Only those with quick thinking can pass."
"Those people before have already lost their qualifications. As for you and I, we are the final candidates. As long as there is one of us left, we will definitely be able to pass through the spirit formation." Lu Yuan spoke his analysis as if he understood it very well.
"Heh, it would appear that I have no other choice," Xing Jue said with a light smile.
"Don't resist. I will give you a quick and painless death," Lu Yuan's gaze was filled with contempt. He simply did not think that Xing Jue could be a match for him.
"Let's give it a try then!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, Xing Jue took a step forward. The soul power surrounding him instantly surged into his body. With the Emperor-level soul power and the effect of Soul Burst, Xing Jue's strength instantly broke through to that of a low-level Asura Martial God.
"Heeahhh!!!"
At that moment, Xing Jue resembled an invincible god of war. He slowly walked forward. With every step he took, the earth would tremble. The surrounding air would undulate as if it had submitted to his feet.
"Heh, so this is the power of an Asura Martial God.
What a comfortable feeling, "Xing Jue's face was filled with excitement. He could sense how powerful he currently was. This was the feeling that Xing Jue loved.
"You … you … who on earth are you? You actually hid your aura? "
"Could it be that you are from Mount Wu?"
At that moment, Lu Yuan started to panic. He could sense that they were both low-level Asura Martial Gods, but Xing Jue's aura was much stronger than his. He could not help but feel fearful.
"Heh, you will soon know who I am."
"Zzzzzzz ~ ~ ~"
With a sway of his body, Xing Jue turned into a bolt of lightning that tore through the air. Wherever it passed, space would collapse and the earth would tremble. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived before Lu Yuan.
"You … you are actually from Hermit Peak?" Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with shock.
"Boom!"
However, Xing Jue did not reply. He suddenly slammed his palm down, and the extremely sturdy earth was shattered. Countless fragments of stone flew into the air, flying past Xing Jue. Lu Yuan had long since been smashed into the ground by his fist.
"A Pseudo Venerable Weapon is indeed extraordinary." Although he had successfully hit his target, Xing Jue was not happy. Instead, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Zzzzz ~ ~ ~" Then, the tip of his foot suddenly touched the ground, and he turned into a bolt of lightning and retreated.
"Boom!"
Just as he left, a majestic purple gas suddenly shot into the sky from where he had previously stood. It was like a poisonous gas, and it emitted a terrifying power.
"It's actually not a Pseudo Venerable Weapon? What on earth are you? "
Xing Jue had originally thought that it was the Pseudo Venerable Weapon that had blocked his attack, but now he realized that he was wrong. He could clearly see that within the purple gas, there was a pair of blood-red eyes that were as big as lanterns, staring at him.
It was a demonic creature with an extremely terrifying aura, even more terrifying than the current Xing Jue. Most importantly, Xing Jue could actually feel Lu Yuan's aura from it.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that you would force me to reveal my true form. Since you're so curious, I'll let you have a look." An extremely horrifying voice came from within the purple gas.
At the same time, the purple gas began to dissipate, and Lu Yuan's true form finally appeared in front of Xing Jue. After seeing its current appearance, an indescribable expression appeared on Xing Jue's face.
This was because the current Lu Yuan was no longer a human. It was a purple cobra that was dozens of meters long. However, its body was not covered in scales, but more like human skin. Coupled with the sticky liquid, it was even more terrifying than a real snake demon.
"You're actually a demonic beast?" Xing Jue exclaimed. Even with his current soul, he could not see through Lu Yuan.
"Demonic beast? I think you're mistaken. I'm not a demonic beast. I'm born with the body of a demon snake, "Lu Yuan roared.
"The body of a demon snake?"
Upon hearing this term, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked. He could tell that it was obviously a special physique. Xing Jue had met people like this before, such as Blood Sister. Blood Sister's body of an evil spirit was extremely terrifying and possessed strange powers.
He had never imagined that Lu Yuan would have such a special physique. Moreover, he had hidden it so well that he could not see any flaws from his appearance.
"How is it? Are you afraid? I'm not someone a small fry like you can deal with right now. "
"To tell you the truth, I hid my strength so that I could defeat Yuwen Junhao in one fell swoop at the Wuzhi Peak Conference in two years. I didn't expect to use it on you today."
"But it doesn't matter. You're already a dead man anyway, and my plan is still flawless. No one can change it." At that moment, Lu Yuan's voice was very strange and terrifying. Especially when he roared, it was even more eerie.
"Hmph, then let me have a taste of your so-called demon snake body."
Xing Jue did not retreat. He moved his feet lightly and stood in a horse stance. He suddenly swung his arms and displayed the highest secret of the Limitless Palm Technique.
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
Like the roar of an azure dragon, the momentum was like a golden meteor shower. Countless giant golden hands flew out, each of them containing enough power to shatter a mountain peak. When several of them gathered together, it was enough to raze a mountain range to the ground.
"Don't underestimate my real body ~ ~ ~"
However, facing Xing Jue's Limitless Palm Technique, Lu Yuan did not dodge. Instead, he charged at Xing Jue. Moreover, he was extremely fast. As his body moved, there was a special power that seemed to make the space tremble.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
Several large golden hands continuously bombarded its body, but it was not affected in the slightest. Not to mention being injured, even its speed did not decrease. The toughness of its body caused Xing Jue to be greatly shocked.
"Damn it."
It was rare for him to fight Lu Yuan alone. Originally, Xing Jue wanted to kill him to prevent future troubles. However, he did not expect him to be such a monster. Furthermore, the power of his Soul Eruption could not last for too long, so he could not continue fighting.
"If you have the guts, come after me."
Seeing that the situation was bad, Xing Jue turned around and turned into a bolt of lightning, charging straight for the spirit formation gate. At that moment, he had no time to think. If he jumped down, he would still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die.
