After ignoring the corrosive effects of the baleful aura, the phantoms became incomparably weak. At the very least, this was what Xu Mang and the others felt when they saw Xie Tian wantonly killing the phantoms.
"But how many freaks like Xie Tian are there in this world who can ignore baleful qi?"
"Tch tch, he's already suffered tens of thousands of Yin Spirit Arrows, but he hasn't even let out a fart. Ai!"
Envy and jealousy rose in Xu Mang's heart. If he had this ability, he would've long since become the richest man in the eight camps.
Tian Shang expressionlessly sat cross-legged in cultivation, ignoring the battle below. He'd already put in a lot of effort and didn't even tell his three closest brothers about it. He only hoped that Xie Tian could step onto a broad dao and achieve glory in life.
"But will he understand?"
Tian Shang's worry only showed how little he understood about Xie Tian.
Xie Tian, who had managed to figure out the words tremble and speed from nine different techniques, wouldn't let go of any chance to become stronger.
The frenzied killing lasted for only an incense's time. With Xie Sha's help, Xie Tian started to figure out the Evil Soul Warriors. However, what interested him from the start wasn't the Soul Cultivation Path that Tian Shang was thinking about, but the Evil Qi.
"This baleful qi is something even True Element Realm cultivators fear, and the Yin Spirit Explosion can even kill cultivators below the late stage. If I can master this method …"
Xie Tian recalled the reserve soldiers on the battlefield who'd been corroded by the baleful qi. Their bodies would rot, their eyes would turn scarlet like demons, and their souls would soon be in chaos, unable to distinguish friend from foe. This was the effect of the baleful qi.
"I heard from brother Tian that the yin spirit is also a kind of soul. Humans have souls, while the Yin Spirit Fiend Warriors are yin spirits. They're essentially the same."
The more Xie Tian thought about it, the more he came to a realization. The Soul Killing Nine Slashes, the Minor Heavenly Cycle Soul Slaying Formation, the Major Heavenly Cycle Soul Slaying Formation, and even the self-detonation of the Soul Saber in the battle with Wang Tao were the same as the Evil Spirit Warriors. They were all methods that used the soul.
"Could this be the soul cultivator brother Tian spoke of?"
Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat. He was a little excited. He understood that he shouldn't bite off more than he could chew. That was why he had always held the attitude of focusing on refining his body and supplementing his spirit. Even if he deliberately strengthened his spirit, it was also to avoid being targeted by others.
"However, my divine soul is different. It's innately powerful. If I were to give up like this, it would really be a pity."
Xie Tian hesitated for a moment before bursting into laughter. He understood that he had wasted too much time. Even if he insisted on refining his body, he couldn't abandon everything else.
"Everything I have up my sleeve is to ensure my safety on the path I seek. I'm not biting off more than I can chew, it's just that I have more skills than I can chew!"
After figuring this out, Xie Tian felt his mind become clear, and his killing speed skyrocketed. Twelve hours later, more than ninety percent of the evil spirits on the island had been slaughtered by him, leaving only a few hundred or so.
"That's enough."
Xie Tian scanned the area with his Divine Sense, and with a light tap of his feet, he charged at a Yin Soul Fiend Warrior.
"What's this kid trying to do?!"
Xu Mang frowned when he saw that Xie Tian didn't immediately attack the Yin Soul Fiend Warrior.
Tian Shang's brows rose, but he suppressed the joy in his heart and also frowned.
Whoosh whoosh!
Under the full power of Evil Kill, Xie Tian finally saw the Yin Spirit Arrow clearly.
Although it was called an arrow, it was actually shaped like a shovel, with countless sinister barbs on its sides. But the key wasn't its appearance. Xie Tian finally understood why it couldn't be detected by his Divine Sense!
"What a marvelous idea! The barbs on the shovel vaguely reveal the profundities of a formation." Xie Tian's heartbeat sped up. "These barbs aren't meant to harm people, but to hide the Yin Soul!"
Time froze for a moment, and Xie Tian's figure stepped out to meet the Yin Soul Arrow!
Time resumed flowing, and Xie Tian's mind trembled as a complete formation for concealing soul power appeared in his mind.
This was the strongest ability of Evil Slaughter!
"Haha, again!"
Although using Evil Slaughter at full power exhausted Xie Tian's spirit, it didn't affect his excitement. This formation alone was enough to increase the power of his Great Heavenly Cycle Soul Executioner Formation by several times, maybe even dozens of times!
"If I doubled the number of Soul Blades, they would all be hidden by this formation!"
Xie Tian could at least be sure of one thing. If he could reach this step, he could easily kill Wang Tao the next time he faced him!
"Grey Eye Vision!"
Xie Tian finally opened his bloody eyes and looked straight into the Yin Soul Fiend Warrior's grey ones!
Hum!
In just an instant, Xie Tian felt as if his soul had left his body. The power was so great that even his soul, which was comparable to a True Energy Realm cultivator, could not withstand it.
"Evil Slaughter!"
Time froze once more, and this time, the illusory Xie Tian stepped through the air and entered the bottomless abyss of grey eyes.
In the next moment, the illusory figure stepped on the air and returned, bringing with it the secret of the Gray Pupil Vision.
"Not good! Xie Tian was hit by Grey Eye Vision!!"
Only now did Xu Mang realize what had happened, but he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. His eyes were filled with disbelief!
"This, this brat isn't even afraid of Grey Eye Vision!"
Seeing this scene, even Tian Shang couldn't help but be alarmed. The power of Grey Eye Vision was something that even Stellar Fiend Realm experts like them would be affected by.
After comprehending the secret of the Grey Pupil Vision, Xie Tian was no longer in any danger when he looked into the eyes of the Evil Spirit Warrior. He even noticed a deep sense of fear in the depths of the Evil Spirit Warrior's eyes.
"They can also be afraid!"
Xie Tian was slightly startled, but he didn't think too much about it. He hadn't learned the Evil Soul Qi that he valued the most.
"It's a pity that with the Dark Blade around, I've never truly experienced the power of the Evil Soul Qi!"
It wasn't that he was pretentious, but he really wanted to experience it to truly understand the power of the Evil Soul Qi.
The illusory Xie Tian stepped out once more, staying in the thick Evil Soul Qi for an instant, two seconds, three seconds …
Just as Xie Tian's eyebrows were twitching, the festering illusory figure finally returned to Xie Tian's body.
At the same time, Xie Tian's soul instantly fell into chaos!
"Not good! He's comprehending the dao!"
Tian Shang's figure instantly appeared beside Xie Tian. With a wave of his hand, the remaining hundred or so Yin Soul Fiend Warriors on the island were all killed by a black dragon image that emerged from his hand. "Comprehending the dao!"
Xu Mang and the other two's expressions changed. What could Xie Tian comprehend from the Yin Soul Fiend Warriors?
Soul cultivator!
In the next moment, the three of them rushed out of the temple!
Tian Shang abruptly turned to look at the three. "It's just a trick. With Xie Tian's temperament, how could he be charmed? What are you worrying about?"
"Tian Shang, these are the rules!" Xu Mang shouted with a frown.
Tian Shang indifferently said, "The rules also depend on the person. Not only will Xie Tian not be charmed by the black souls, he'll also be able to walk a righteous and honorable path as a soul cultivator. I swear on my dao heart!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Jie shouted, cutting off Tian Shang's words. He immediately cursed, "Don't you think of us as brothers? Are you trying to cut off our paths with this dao oath?"
Tian Shang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"You're thinking too much!" Xu Mang landed on the ground with a dark expression. He glanced at Xie Tian and scolded, "Be honest, you've been planning on this since the beginning, haven't you?"
Tian Shang sighed. "Can you bear to see Xie Tian struggle between two dead ends, only to end up empty-handed?"
The three fell silent.
"I can't bear to."
It was a simple explanation, but it struck the hearts of the three.
How could they not know that even if Xie Tian was unexpectedly growing every day, even if Xie Tian's heart was incomparably firm, dead ends were not so easy to break through. Otherwise, the pinnacle of cultivation in the Nine States World would not be Lu Xian.
"Have you ever thought about it?" Zhang Jie asked quietly, "What if Xie Tian is charmed by the black souls?"
"I've never thought about it." Tian Shang shook his head decisively. "Because Xie Tian's heart is even stronger than his comprehension!"
The four silently returned to the Divine Tomb. They no longer released their divine senses to lock onto Xie Tian. They had all chosen the same path — to believe in Xie Tian.
An entire day passed. At the intersection of the sea and the sky, the sun rose in the east.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Xie Tian's body, he awoke.
The moment he woke up, he looked at the four people on the Divine Tomb and bowed to them.
He clearly heard the conversation between the four people, and he also knew that the debate about soul cultivators originated from the unknown but charming black souls.
However, this unknown black soul was currently struggling and wailing on the tip of the Dark Blade's blade.
And Xie Tian, who had comprehended the profound meaning of the Evil Qi, finally understood the reason why the Dark Blade took the initiative to devour the Evil Qi.
What the Dark Blade devoured was not the Evil Qi, but the seven emotions and six desires in the Evil Qi. These seven emotions and six desires were the culprits that eroded the spirit of a cultivator.
To the Dark Blade, the seven emotions and six desires were nourishment.
To Xie Tian, it was the same.
What he lacked the most in his life was love, and what he hoped to obtain the most was also love.
He bowed to them because he was moved by love.
