The blood-red stone was precisely the Blood Evil Stone. As soon as it came in contact with the sword intent, it immediately underwent a transformation. A blood-red haze spread out from its surface, shrouding Ye Chen within.
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill …
A large amount of Evil Qi appeared out of nowhere and battered Ye Chen's Sea of Soul, raising huge waves. Soon after, a grotesquely shaped demon head was condensed. These demon heads didn't have real bodies, and were illusory and misty. They would occasionally let out ghostly wails and wolf howls, their voices soaring into the sky.
"Suppress for me!"
The Misty Longsword floating above the Sea of Soul blossomed with layers of halos. The demons condensed from Evil Qi were swept away by the halos, vanishing like smoke. Following the disappearance of the demons, strands of silver mist gradually pervaded the Sea of Soul, no different from the mist surrounding the longsword.
"Silver mist, will?"
If Ye Chen's guess was correct, this silver mist was an illusory will. Will was formless, relying on the soul. The stronger the soul, the stronger the will. However, having a mountain of treasures without a method to obtain them was not enough. Blood Evil Stones could refine even more wills to a certain extent.
"My soul power is several times that of ordinary people, and the potential of my will should also be several times that of ordinary people. I wonder if four Blood Evil Stones are enough."
Adding the Blood Evil Stones from the half-beast Blood Evil Beast, Ye Chen had a total of four Blood Evil Stones. The first one was obtained from killing the Blood Evil Beast himself, and the second and third ones were obtained from White Bone Ghost General's storage ring while Shen Tujue and the other three were surrounding the half-beast Blood Evil Beast. The Evil Qi contained in the fourth Blood Evil Stone was equivalent to the sum of the previous three Blood Evil Stones. Moreover, the purity of the Evil Qi was far higher than normal Blood Evil Stones. One Blood Evil Stone was equivalent to five or six Blood Evil Stones. Therefore, although Ye Chen only had four Blood Evil Stones, he could use them as eight normal ones.
Three days passed in a flash.
The first Blood Evil Stone had dimmed, its Evil Qi disappearing.
Originally, there was only a trace of silver mist around the Misty Longsword. But now, the silver mist was ten times more than before, as if a layer of fine muslin had been laid down.
"Transforming will into sword intent and fusing it with the Misty Longsword is a long process. Right now, laying a good foundation is not a bad thing. With enough will, I won't have to worry about insufficient reserves when comprehending sword intent in the future."
Taking out the second Blood Evil Stone, Ye Chen continued to absorb the evil energy within it.
During the process of refining his will, Ye Chen realized that the stronger his will was, the faster he could absorb the evil aura. It took him three days to use up the first blood evil stone, two and a half days for the second one, and two days for the third one. The silver mist in his soul sea had turned from a thin layer of silk to a thin mist. The total amount was thirty times more than before, but until now, there was no sign of it being full. It seemed like his will and soul power were equal, and the quantity of his will had not exceeded the limit of his soul power.
"In the past, my soul power was powerful. Its direct effect was a wide range of search, and its indirect effect was my high comprehension, which allowed me to learn things quickly. But now, my soul power has shown a new function, and that is my powerful willpower. Willpower is basically the means of Sea of Soul realm. My soul and willpower potential has undoubtedly surpassed Sea of Soul realm experts. All I need to do is to excavate more."
Without much hesitation, Ye Chen took out the fourth Blood Evil Stone.
This Blood Evil Stone came from the body of a half-beast Blood Evil Beast. Its color was bright red, as if it was dripping blood. Strands of extremely pure evil aura pervaded the air, dying the void red.
"In terms of quantity and quality, it surpasses ordinary Blood Evil Stones!"
With a thought, Ye Chen urged his sword intent toward the Blood Evil Stone.
Buzz!
A huge amount of evil aura gushed out, causing faint ripples.
As the evil aura entered his brain, Ye Chen's mind gradually became dizzy, and a bloodthirsty impulse filled his heart. Not good! The purity of this evil aura is too high, and its might far surpasses ordinary evil aura.
Ye Chen promptly bit his tongue and urged the Misty Longsword to suppress the evil aura.
The Misty Longsword was an amalgamation of sword intent. As soon as it was activated, a frightening halo of sword intent spread out, clashing with the extremely pure evil aura.
Pitter-patter!
The evil aura shattered into pieces, and the halo of sword intent also dimmed. However, Ye Chen's sword intent was not an ordinary sword intent, but one that contained an immortal nature. No matter how strong the evil aura evil aura was, the sword intent never showed any signs of dissipating, wearing down the evil aura evil aura evil aura.
Time flowed like water, passing in the blink of an eye.
When Ye Chen opened his eyes, six days had already passed.
"The Misty Longsword doesn't contain much sword intent. After all, the sword intent has just reached completion. Only its might surpasses the perfect sword intent, not to mention the level above the perfect sword intent."
Without considering the immortal nature, Ye Chen knew that he was still lacking a bit. The sword intent at completion was the perfect sword intent, and the perfect sword intent was at the same level as Shen Tujue. Of course, Shen Tujue walked the path of a warrior, while Ye Chen walked the path of a swordsman. Their wills were very different, but their realms were the same.
Huff!
Letting out a mouthful of groundless killing aura, Ye Chen slowly stood up. After absorbing the evil aura from the fourth blood evil stone, the total amount of his will had increased by ninety times, ten times more than what he had expected. This ninety times increase allowed Ye Chen's future path to be incomparably wide, giving him an absolute advantage. More importantly, even with so much will, it still did not exceed the capacity of his soul.
"The strength of my will has allowed my mind to become much clearer, and the Misty Longsword is also receiving nourishment. Unfortunately, the sword intent is not perfect, and the efficiency of the Misty Longsword in absorbing will is very low. I need to accumulate enough foundation to push my sword intent to the perfect realm."
The realm could not be ignored. Without the realm, everything would be done with twice the effort for half the result. Once the realm was reached, it would be twice the result with half the effort. This was the gap.
"En, a part of the meridians has already been repaired."
Suddenly, Ye Chen felt the Zhen Yuan core in his dantian recovering a trace of vitality. The natural Yuan Qi flowed along the intact meridians and was refined into a small amount of Zhen Yuan.
"As long as I have Zhen Yuan, it's fine. Without it, the recovery speed is too slow."
...
As the days passed, Ye Chen's injuries were recovering bit by bit. He had to admit that the Heavenly Demonic Flower's effect was too powerful. As long as he had Zhen Yuan to absorb its medicinal power, all the injuries on his body could be healed. It had an all-rounded effect.
Unfortunately, compared to other injuries, the meridians were the hardest to recover. After all, they were an important part of the circulation route for Zhen Yuan.
Therefore, even though most of the injuries on his body had recovered, his damaged meridians had only recovered by less than forty percent. This directly caused his Zhen Yuan to be sparse, and the output of his Zhen Yuan had also decreased.
Shoving a Seven Star Pill into his mouth, Ye Chen continued to meditate.
Rumble!
After an unknown period of time, a splash of water splashed onto Ye Chen's face.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen noticed that the outside of the spatial crack had been filled with lake water. Wave after wave crashed onto the rocks.
"The island is about to drown!"
Frowning slightly, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. Right now, he had to find a suitable place to treat his injuries. He did not want to soak in the lake water all day.
Standing up, Ye Chen walked out of the spatial crack and jumped onto a tall rock.
As far as the eye could see, the surrounding fog was boundless, and the resolution was extremely low. Pushing his eyesight to its limit, he could only see things within ten meters.
Rumble!
A huge wave, dozens of meters high, split the fog in two.
Ye Chen neither retreated nor dodged. With one punch, he scattered the huge wave, which would be a nightmare for ordinary people. Although his battle power had dropped a lot, which was equivalent to a beginner Astral Reaching expert, the natural wind and waves posed almost no threat to him.
Spreading out his soul power, Ye Chen followed his intuition and chose a path with smaller waves.
In order to save Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen did not fly in the sky. Instead, he gathered strands of Zhen Yuan in his feet and ran on the surface of the lake.
The lake was boundless, and there seemed to be no end to it.
A human figure shuttled through the fog, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
"What a chaotic gravitational field! It's clearly not a straight line."
The gravitational field of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone was extremely chaotic. Sometimes it was big, sometimes it was small, sometimes it was twisted, and sometimes it was straight up or down. Previously, there was a slight difference, but in the end, there was a deviation of hundreds of li. If his guess was right, this was the frightening part of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone.
…
Standing on top of the turbulent lake, Ye Chen took out a large water bottle from his storage ring. The scale of the bottle pointed at the number seven.
"The second seven days have passed. I wonder where I am in Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone."
As time passed, Ye Chen thoroughly felt the terror of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone. Once he entered, he lost all sense of direction. As time passed, his willpower began to weaken, and his mood became fidgety.
Hualala!
In his soul power perception, there was a sound of water breaking twenty li to his left.
"Eh, there is a large object sailing."
Raising his brows, Ye Chen followed the sound by treading on the lake water.
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at his destination.
The fog here was much thinner than other places. It was just a thin layer, and one could see hundreds of meters away. In Ye Chen's sight, a ten-meter-long, several-meter-wide ship was anchored there. A lot of people jumped into the water, and a lot of people jumped out, carrying large and small demonic beasts in their hands.
"Haha, this water region is indeed rich with demonic beasts. There is even a rank 4 demonic beast." On the deck, an old man smoking a pipe revealed a faint smile.
"Grandpa, how about we stay here for a while and go back after collecting a large amount of demonic beast pellets?"
Next to the old man stood a young woman in a green dress. She was not extremely beautiful, but she was small and cute with a well-proportioned body.
The old man shook his head, "No, if we stay too long, we might not be able to go back. The gravitational field of Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone is constantly changing. After a certain time, the light ball will also lose its effect."
The woman sighed, "You are right, but every time we enter or exit the city, we have to pay a rank 3 demonic beast pellet. The rest is not enough for us." Raising her head in a depressed mood, the woman suddenly noticed a human figure a hundred meters away, "Grandpa, there is someone over there."
"Someone?" The old man followed the woman's line of sight.
