The 41st level was a desolate and cold desert. It was vast and boundless.
In this desert, there would be a tower every few hundred miles. The towers stretched from the lowest to the highest, stretching all the way into the distance.
Rumble …
A huge dragon-like black whirlwind suddenly appeared in the distance. Before the whirlwind even got close, a piercing chill blew over and frost formed on the surface of the desert.
"What's this?"
Old Ancestor Wuling had a bad feeling. This whirlwind had caused his Soul Sea to become slightly unstable.
"Take a detour."
Yinyang Codger didn't dare to be careless and chose to take a detour.
Unexpectedly, the whirlwind also started to change direction.
"Hmph!"
Old Ancestor Hercules snorted and punched.
The illusory fist shadow affected the void and struck the whirlwind. However, what surprised everyone was that although the fist shadow caused the whirlwind to disperse a little, the actual lethality wasn't that great. It was as if the whirlwind was nothing.
In the blink of an eye, the black whirlwind was already near the five of them. Everyone looked closely and instantly felt their blood run cold. This wasn't an ordinary whirlwind. It was clearly a ghostly whirlwind formed by countless ghostly creatures. Ghostly figures were faintly discernible within.
"It's the Yellow Springs Storm. It's filled with Yellow Springs Ghosts."
Old Ancestor Wuling's hair stood on end as he exclaimed.
The Yellow Springs Storm was one of the most terrifying storms in Hell. This storm wasn't formed naturally but was formed by mixing Yellow Springs Ghosts. Even the rarest Impermanence Ghosts in Hell had to retreat when encountering the Yellow Springs Storm. This was because after the Yellow Springs Storm was formed by the Yellow Springs Ghosts, their disadvantages were weakened and their advantages were strengthened. Once one was caught in it, they would immediately become a part of it.
Old Ancestor Wuling began to suspect if Ghost Weeping Mountain was the territory of a Grade 3 Mountain Ghost. How could an ordinary Grade 3 Mountain Ghost have a large number of ghost beasts and a Yellow Springs Storm? However, it made sense. Since this place was sealed, it was definitely unusual.
"Seal it."
How could Yinyang Codger allow the Yellow Springs Storm to get close to him? He quickly formed a seal with both hands and a ball of white air formed in front of him. Shortly after, the illusory figure behind him injected a black air current into the white air current. In the next moment, a black-and-white Yin Yang Diagram enveloped the Yellow Springs Storm and completely restrained it.
Patriarch Wuling wasn't slow either. The Five-Element Seal descended from the sky and enveloped the Netherworld Storm and the Black-White Yin Yang Image.
Patriarch Golden Light also unleashed his own Golden Light Dimension. Numerous mirrors that emitted intense golden light combined together. The golden light was blinding to the eyes.
As for the Night Ghost Granny and the Herculean Ancestor, they weren't good at trapping, so they didn't interfere.
After doing all this, the five of them rushed forward at full speed. Although the three layers of seals could trap any Quasi-Venerable for a very long time, the Yellow Springs Storm was much more terrifying than a Quasi-Venerable.
About a quarter of an hour later, a loud explosion came from behind them. The five of them knew that the seal had been broken.
Rumble!
The entire desert seemed to be trembling. The Yellow Springs Storm chased after them at a speed ten times faster than before. One could see that as the speed increased, the thickness of the Yellow Springs Storm was also shrinking. However, with the distance between the two sides, the Yellow Springs Storm could catch up to the five of them if it shrunk by ten percent. At that time, any of the five of them would be in danger if they were caught.
"It's too fast. In just a hundred breaths, it will catch up to us."
Patriarch Wuling's heart sank after calculating the distance.
Regardless of whether he had the strength or not, he didn't want to fight to the death with the Yellow Springs Storm. That would be a foolish move that would harm himself.
The Yellow Springs Storm was getting closer and closer to the five of them. The entire Crying Ghost Mountain contained a unique sealing law that prevented teleportation. It would be good if they could reach one-thousandth of the speed in space.
Rumble!
Good things never come in pairs, but misfortune never comes alone.
The surface of the desert not far from the five of them suddenly collapsed. A pitch-black whirlwind rushed up. It was another Yellow Springs Storm.
Because the distance was too close, and the five of them maintained their maximum speed, they couldn't react in time. They could only subconsciously turn left and right.
The result was obvious. The five of them were split in two. Old Yinyang Man, the Night Ghost Granny, and the Herculean Ancestor flew to the right, while Patriarch Golden Light and Patriarch Wuling chose the left.
"Lure it away for me." Patriarch Wuling flicked his hand, and a figure flew in another direction. Upon closer inspection, one would see that it was the Stone Emperor with a dull expression.
Unfortunately, the Yellow Springs Storm didn't care about the Stone Emperor at all. It continued to chase after Patriarch Wuling and Patriarch Herculean.
"Could it be that this Yellow Springs Storm is only interested in powerful souls?"
Patriarch Wuling guessed.
There was no time to think. Patriarch Golden Light and Patriarch Wuling's expressions changed again. In front of them, the desert exploded, and the third Yellow Springs Storm appeared.
"Damn it."
Patriarch Wuling hurriedly turned right, and Patriarch Golden Light flashed left.
Just like that, the two of them had a Yellow Springs Storm behind them, and they ran for their lives.
After chasing for a long time, the Yellow Springs Storm howled. As the wind howled, the Yellow Springs Storm's speed increased tenfold, just like the first Yellow Springs Storm.
Sensing the movement behind him, Patriarch Wuling's pupils shrank.
"Fight!"
Patriarch Wuling flew toward the nearest tower. He was betting that the tower could defend against the Yellow Springs Storm and buy him a breath of time. As for how he would escape, that was a matter for later.
One thousand miles!
Five hundred miles!
Three hundred miles!
Patriarch Wuling was getting closer and closer to the nearest tower, but the Yellow Springs Storm behind him was getting closer and closer. It was less than twenty-five miles away. Given the Yellow Springs Storm's speed, it would catch up before Patriarch Wuling could reach it.
A pained expression flashed across Patriarch Wuling's face. He made his second difficult choice. He waved his hand, and a five-colored light flashed. A figure charged towards the Yellow Springs Storm.
It was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's soul was far more powerful than that of ordinary Sovereigns. Although he couldn't compare to powerful Sovereigns in terms of quantity, in terms of quality, he surpassed them by quite a bit. He wasn't inferior to a Quasi-Exalt. At this moment, Patriarch Wuling had no choice but to abandon Ye Chen. It was just like how he had abandoned his most precious golem formation on the 40th level.
"If I can't obtain the Abyssal Fruit this time, I'll have suffered a double loss."
Ye Chen was one of the best materials he had seen in all these years. Perhaps he was the best. Ye Chen had nearly 80% of his original body's strength. This was much more precious than anything else. If his life wasn't in danger, he wouldn't abandon Ye Chen even if he was beaten to death. Patriarch Wuling couldn't help but hate Patriarch Hercules even more. If Patriarch Hercules hadn't plotted against him, he could have used the golem formation to block the Yellow Springs Storm and buy some time for him. He wouldn't have needed to abandon Ye Chen.
"Patriarch Hercules, just you wait."
With a low roar, Patriarch Wuling scurried into the tower.
The moment he was thrown out, Ye Chen had already woken up. Of course, when he had clashed with Patriarch Hercules, Ye Chen had already woken up quite a bit. Although Patriarch Wuling's control over him was strong, there was a limit. After clashing with Patriarch Hercules, this control had been greatly weakened. Given Ye Chen's willpower, he had naturally seized control of his mind. However, due to Patriarch Wuling's strength, Ye Chen had been hiding his sobriety.
"This is …!"
At this moment, Ye Chen's vision was filled by a dragon-like Yellow Springs Storm. The next moment, his entire body was submerged in the Yellow Springs Storm.
