However, the soul of a human being was not a sentient artificial intelligence after all. Even if their memories were erased, they would still feel pain, suffering, and emotions.
It was especially so for the green-spotted freak, who had to modify the pure, flawless souls of the children into the most brutal devils. The pain that the children suffered was indescribable.
Those children had been thrown into an endless bloody slaughterhouse before they tasted the flavors of the mortal world. They were suffering a hundred times more painful than being minced into pieces, but they could not die even if they wanted to.
Even a Yuanying as strong as Li Yao felt that his tongue was numb and his heart was pounding when he thought of such a feeling.
This guy must be killed!
Li Yao's heart was filled with killing intent, which entangled his belief.
The chaotic battle that he had seen in the forest just now was a conflict between adults. Life and death in a battlefield were determined by fate. However ambitious Li Yao was, he did not intend to stop all the wars in the three thousand Sectors.
However, the wars between adults were one thing, and the slaughter of children was another.
Even if children were slaughtered, the pain would only last for a moment. The victims would at least be killed once and for all.
Capturing the souls of children, polishing them brutally day and night, and sealing them into magical equipment to reap the lives of more innocent people was a hundred times crueler!
Li Yao could not ignore it.
He had to rescue the souls of the innocent children.
Although the enemy was probably an expert of Yuanying, he was new to the place and did not know much about the enemy. Therefore, he should focus on observation.
However, his belief was still there. If he turned a blind eye to such an unpardonable crime and fled at the sight of it, there would be loopholes in his belief, and his level would plummet. He would begin to doubt his outlook on life, his worldview, his values, and the spirit of the Federation. It would be even less likely for him to accomplish the mission well.
After all, I'll have to compete with the local Yuanying sooner or later and experience the expertise of the local experts in person!
This is the deepest part of the hundred thousand mountains and the bottom of the canyon. There is no human habitation in the hundreds of square kilometers nearby. Nobody will notice anything even if I attack them!
"This fellow should be living in seclusion here alone. He doesn't have any companions to help him, so there are fewer twists and turns!"
"Then I'll use you as a sacrifice!"
Li Yao's killing intent was set, and he discovered another great advantage of killing this person. This person's identity seemed to be of great value!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. Like a gray python, he quietly crawled toward the crack from the steep rock wall.
At this moment, a faint sweet smell suddenly came from behind him, mixed with a faint heartbeat.
Li Yao's hair and the hair on his spine immediately stood up. He turned to the left side out of instinct. After a loud noise, as if an iron whip had slapped the rock wall where he had been crouching a moment ago, a ravine more than half a meter deep immediately appeared. Yellow smoke was popping up from the ravine, and the rocks were spluttering. Holes that looked like beehives were gradually corroded on the rocks.
On the rock wall above Li Yao's head, a giant lizard almost ten meters long had appeared at some point. It looked like a hybrid of a crocodile and a dinosaur. A long tongue as thick as a boa was dragging out of its big mouth. Thick, brown venom was dripping from the tongue. When the venom dripped on the rocks, it immediately burned holes into the rocks!
Four brown eyes stared at Li Yao maliciously. In the reflection of the eyes, however, another person behind Li Yao was revealed.
It was the owner of the mysterious residence, the local Yuanying who had a bird-shaped birthmark at the center of her forehead and was nurturing the souls of children!
"Huh?"
The local Yuanying was slightly surprised by Li Yao's agility. Eyeing him up and down, she chuckled and said, "You are indeed capable of avoiding the full-strength strike of the Six-legged Crocodile Dragon. No wonder you are bold enough to peep into my residence! Which family are you from? Who sent you here? Confess now so that you will suffer less. Otherwise, I will purge you for three days and three nights and squeeze your soul out to go with my wine! "
The appearance of the green-spotted freak was between that of the people from the central plateaus and that of the barbarians. It appeared that he was indeed a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator of the barbarians who had been born and raised in the local area. His speech was both polite and brutal. He had even spat out such a nonsensical term as' I '.
However, Li Yao would not look down on this man's wisdom because of this, because he had just made Li Yao fall for a wicked trick.
I've been tricked!
The guy must've set up some sort of barrier outside of his residence, but it is not meant to prevent other people from prying or breaking in. Instead, it is a barrier that will inform him immediately when an intruder is detected!
Li Yao secretly frowned.
The two kinds of barriers were very different.
The purpose of the first one was to stop the intruder and make them retreat. The second one, on the other hand, was to let the intruder in on purpose so that all the intruders would be caught!
This so-called "Esteemed Master" dared to live alone in such a dangerous place and set up such a restriction. It showed that he had great confidence in his own strength. He believed that no matter who entered this place, they would be courting death!
It was understandable. In such a desolate land at the edge of the mainstream civilization, a Yuanying, with a few ancient treasures passed on from the primeval era, could indeed do whatever he wanted!
I made the same mistake as Su Changfa did.
Although I warned myself time and time again, after I realized that this Sector was still in the medieval era and that these guys were half-civilized 'barbarians', I became careless and underestimated them!
But I didn't know that the so-called 'ancients' and 'barbarians' were only worse than modern people in terms of knowledge and knowledge. In terms of schemes and schemes, they might even be better than us!
Li Yao sighed. Now that the ambush had failed, he could only suppress the intruder face to face.
It was not a bad thing. In such a way, he would be able to collect more experiment data and gain a thorough understanding of the maximum combat ability and combat patterns of the local Yuanying.
"Junior, are you too speechless to talk?"
The Yuanying, who had a green birthmark at the center of his eyebrow, thought that Li Yao had been scared out of his wits. He laughed even more hideously.
He was not worried at all.
Before his seclusion, he had already been invincible in the thousands of square kilometers nearby. Besides, now that he had grasped the marvelous arts and produced a few marvelous magical equipment, he could go anywhere he wanted even in the glamorous world of the Great Qian Dynasty. What could an uncanny junior, who was unarmed and not wearing a single piece of armor, be a hindrance to him?
The Yuanying's pupils suddenly constricted to the minimum. His face was frozen between disdain and horror, as if every nerve on his face had been frozen.
The junior was gone.
Not good. Behind him!
The Yuanying's spine seemed to have been slashed heavily by a nine-ringed saber. It was almost broken into halves.
Also, it was just the wind raised by Li Yao's kick.
The more he spoke, the more information he might leak. Li Yao did not want to play games with the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Whatever intelligence he wanted to know, he could simply torture it after he suppressed the guy.
Naturally, the local Yuanying knew a lot of secret arts on the refinement of souls. Li Yao, who had the Blood Devil's Possession and had absorbed the memories of the ancient Cultivators, was an expert in that regard, too!
Li Yao's attack greatly shocked the local Yuanying.
He had been roaming in the Southland of Sorcerers for a hundred years. He had even wandered to the central plateaus occasionally. But he had never met such a cunning and brutal opponent who had killed him without a word!
Also, how could the guy's body be so tough that he could appear behind him like a ghost without using any magical equipment?
His moves were simple and crude, too. There was not the slightest mystery in them at all. They were almost like street performers and did not look like a competition between high-level Cultivators at all.
But as it happened, the guy was extremely fast, and his feet were straightened like a rushing flying sword!
The local Yuanying shrieked and dashed upward. Without looking back, he waved his hands and threw out two streams of rolling green mist, which were condensed into two giant claws and snatched at Li Yao's kick.
BOOM!
Emotionlessly, Li Yao ignored the attack and blew the two giant claws into pieces with one kick.
"Pu!"
The local Yuanying vomited a mouthful of bright green blood. His hands were shaking hard. The kick seemed to have hit his arm bones directly.
It's about the same as what I imagined.
Li Yao was multitasking. He drafted a battle plan while he analyzed the appearance of the high-level warriors of this Sector.
"The spiritual energy of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of this Sector is rather abundant, but they haven't grasped the secret arts to trigger the spiritual energy in the most direct and efficient way. Their moves carry too many glamorous but impractical effects, and their attacks contain too many 'impurities'!
Based on the experience of other worlds of ancient Cultivators, it is exactly because of the abundant spiritual energy in their living environment that they do not cherish it that they do not develop the Cultivation arts that can improve their efficiency.
The Cultivation arts that they use are often developed in a primitive and shabby way. They have never been through thousands of repetitive computations, refinements, and refinements. They have never been tested by reproducibility tests, double-blind experiments, extreme environment tests, or other tests.
The Cultivation arts of the ancient Cultivators are like the difference between a workshop and an industrial assembly line factory. Even if the power of the Cultivation arts can be maximized occasionally, they are far inferior to the latter in terms of stability, reproducibility, and low energy consumption!
Li Yao's ten toes pierced deeply into the solid rock wall like ten nails. He leaped forward and charged at the local Yuanying like a cannonball, leaving a large cluster of rocks behind!
"Fellow Cultivator, what is the grudge between you and me? Why are you attacking me so brutally?"
The local Yuanying's spine and arms were both aching. He addressed Li Yao as' fellow Cultivator 'instead of' junior '. While he asked, his hands did not stop moving. The giant lizard with a long tongue that looked like a weird boa immediately lunged at him from the high ground!
"Pa!"
The giant lizard's long tongue slapped Li Yao heavily.
Before the local Yuanying was overjoyed, 'Li Yao', who had been slapped by the long tongue, turned into ripples. It turned out to be a phantom.
He had the time!
Li Yao's real body, however, appeared behind the giant lizard without a sound. He grabbed the lizard's neck with his legs and spun it brutally!
Who was Li Yao?
He was the guy who had been engaged in a competition of beliefs with Ding Ling Dong for five years!
Even without magical equipment, his body itself had been polished into an indestructible weapon in space by Ding Lingdang!
The core 'strength in his abdomen', in particular, had been trained to a level that was even more brutal and violent than the full-speed charge of a super high-speed crystal train after thousands of high-speed collisions!
With the core strength as the foundation, Li Yao's legs were as sharp as scissors. After a few cracking sounds, the bones, veins, and nerves inside the lizard's neck exploded. Before the lizard had the chance to scream, its enormous head had been cut off! (To be continued.)
