Hundreds of thousands of demonic insects and venomous creatures were crawling on the ground. They were so dense that they looked like a gray carpet covering the area of ten miles around. At first glance, people would have a splitting headache.
Those demonic insects and venomous animals could erode people's souls!
Sha Zhao frowned, his face dark and unpredictable. He discreetly observed Shi Yan, his dark eyes dancing like a ghostly flame.
He didn't take action immediately.
The warriors of the Gu God Sect all had a special technique to detect the realm and power of the others. They could use the Blood Qi, spirit, and even the redness of the other's face to know the energy in the other's body. Then, they could determine the real competence of the others.
Sha Zhao understood clearly that the realm wasn't the only standard to measure a warrior's competence.
For example, although he had only Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, he believed that he could subdue ordinary First Sky of Incipient God Realm warriors. He could even kill them.
He understood that Shang Ying Yue, who had left earlier, was also this kind of character. He also knew her identity, which was why he could let her escape easily.
Sha Zhao squinted and looked at Shi Yan. His eyes floated like the wisps of soul that covered Shi Yan like seaweed. He was trying to see the magical features of his body little by little...
Shang Ying Yue didn't retreat.
She used a secret treasure that Shang Chen had given her to hide her body. She looked like a thin, gray cloud that quietly lingered by the edge of those demonic insects and venomous animals. She hid her soul energy and Blood Qi. Even the venomous insects with a sharp sense of smell couldn't catch her.
Shang Ying Yue's long eyelashes shivered. She looked at the two inside the group of venomous insects and waited for something.
After a while, her beautiful eyes showed that she didn't know what to do.
Sha Zhao laughed strangely in the middle of the group of venomous insects. "Friend, you must be joking. We have our own purpose in coming to the ancient continent. If we don't need to, we won't fight to the death. It's not good for either of us if we hurt each other. Yeah, how about this? I will force the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan out and confine it for a while. You will use your flame of the Origin to refine it. Then, we will share the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread. What do you think? "
Shang Ying Yue was hiding. Her face suddenly became odd. Her heart was filled with questions. She looked at the other two in surprise.
Sha Zhao was the strongest expert under Incipient God Realm of the Gu God Sect. As he could bring the Guiding Fruit to the ancient continent, it proved that the Gu God Sect trusted him a lot.
From her mother, Shang Ying Yue had heard about Sha Zhao's terrifying venom. Thus, even though she came here for the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan, she had proactively moved away to avoid a conflict with Sha Zhao.
Although they were both at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, Shang Ying Yue wasn't confident that she could defeat Sha Zhao. She didn't want to engage in an unnecessary battle. Thus, she retreated.
However, Shi Yan had only First Sky of Ethereal God Realm cultivation base. Sha Zhao had purposely driven Shi Yan away. Why was he so friendly to this weak warrior?
Was he very powerful?
Shang Ying Yue couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it. However, her opinion of Shi Yan had changed. She urged herself to be more cautious.
Of course, she didn't know what Sha Zhao had seen with the secret technique of the Gu God Sect...
The secret art of the Gu God Sect was called "Blood Peering Art". It could judge the strength of one's body and the purity of one's soul and consciousness by looking at one's spirit, qi, blood, and complexion. For so many years, it was famous in the universe for its accuracy. It was one of the most famous arts in the universe, and also one of the most important evil arts of the Gu God Sect.
Through the Blood Peeping God Technique, Sha Zhao had observed Shi Yan's Blood Qi, the density of his muscles, the frequency of his heartbeat, and the strange disappearance of his soul. Sha Zhao got an astonishing conclusion: Shi Yan's body was like a refined gold crystal and his Soul Consciousness was like his blood vessels!
It was a height that ordinary Incipient God Realm warriors couldn't reach!
A First Sky of Ethereal God Realm warrior with a body and Soul Consciousness at such an amazing level, how could Sha Zhao dare to underestimate him?
Especially since Shi Yan hadn't shown any fear from the beginning. He had even provoked him. Sha Zhao became more vigilant. He had made up his mind in just a blink of an eye: If it wasn't necessary, he would never have a direct confrontation with this man!
Shang Ying Yue didn't know the strange technique of the Gu God Sect that Sha Zhao belonged to. She was bewildered.
"Share the Hundred Kalpa Soul Thread?" ShiYan faintly smiled, glanced at the depths of the swamp, and said casually, "Alright, let's do as you said. First, force the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan out, then confine it, and then let me refine it. Hmm, I want to see the secret technique of your Gu God Sect."
"No problem. Little brother, don't worry and wait. Just leave it to me." Sha Zhao laughed evilly. A short flute slid out of his black sleeve. The short flute had many tiny holes like the stars in the sky. The flute was carved with a snake pattern. It looked simple and exquisite.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! "
Sha Zhao approached the short flute, squinting and playing it. The flute sounded like the crying of ghosts. It was low and sorrowful as if he was releasing the wailing ghosts into this world.
Accompanied by his low flute music, the surrounding air gradually became bone-piercingly cold, as if a demon soul was flying and drifting, coldly drilling into people's soul and sea of consciousness.
ShiYan's indifferent eyes suddenly flashed up a cold light.
Shang Ying Yue was hiding in the dark. She hurried to pull herself together and urge her power Upanishad.
In Shi Yan's and Shang Ying Yue's Sea of Consciousness, many demonic insects and venomous creatures appeared!
They seemed to be transformed from the soul consciousness, or the demonic or poisonous souls of demonic insects and poisonous creatures. At the moment the flute sounded, they easily got into their Sea of Consciousness, showing their extraordinary power.
"Little brother, be careful. When I play the Demon Sound Flute, this little fellow is restless. I don't mean to target you." Sha Zhao's voice was rough and hoarse. He wore a warm smile on his face, but his eyes sparkled with a cold light that couldn't be detected.
Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue frowned. They knew that Sha Zhao was just trying to sound nice. Although they could see Shi Yan's competence, they weren't willing to admit it. They had used the Demon Sound Flute to control the demonic insects and venomous creatures to deal with the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan to test Shi Yan's competence. They wanted to know if he was really as strong as they had thought.
Shi Yan understood clearly that if he revealed his helplessness and exhaustion, Sha Zhao's bloody deeds would drown him immediately. He wouldn't give him a chance.
Countless venomous insects were floating in his Sea of Consciousness, baring their sharp fangs. They slowly swarmed towards his soul altar.
From the posture of those demonic insects and venomous creatures, they seemed to want to gnaw his soul altar and swallow his soul.
Shi Yan was frightened.
Shi Yan had never thought that the Gu God Sect could have such evil deeds. The demonic insects and venomous creatures in his Sea of Consciousness were just souls, but they were even more intimidating than real bodies. They seemed to be able to swallow the soul altar. This kind of evil technique had frightened Shi Yan so much.
Shi Yan had never experienced such a situation. He didn't know what to do.
Sha Zhao could connect with the souls of those venomous insects and monsters. Each of them was like his eyes. He could enter the center of Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness. He could sense Shi Yan's situation easily. He also knew that Shi Yan didn't have any solution to deal with this.
Sha Zhao sneered faintly. He was proud of the Gu God Sect's evil technique of his sect.
That year, the experts of the God Clan had their soul altars gnawed to death by this evil technique. Today, even if this kid had tremendous power, how could he resist the Heaven Gu Soul Devouring Technique of the Gu God Sect?
The smile on Sha Zhao's face gradually brightened. He was so happy.
After the demonic insects and venomous creatures gnawed the soul, they would evolve one after another. The more refined the soul was, the more benefits the insects and venomous creatures would have.
Sha Zhao could see the beautiful appearance of those little cuties when they evolved...
Shang Ying Yue wasn't Sha Zhao's primary target. The venomous insects and monsters in her head stayed dormant to warn her. They didn't want her to act rashly.
Sha Zhao didn't believe Shang Ying Yue. He thought that Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan were on the same side. They also wanted to take the Hundred Kalpa Ghost Hand Rattan. He didn't trust anyone, so he had two plans.
Once Shang Ying Yue showed that she wanted to save Shi Yan, those venomous insects and monsters would show their ferocious faces. Shang Ying Yue couldn't spare her energy.
Shi Yan was always cautious. He had a thorough plan for each operation.
Many demonic insects and venomous creatures crawled and swarmed toward the tier of power Upanishads in Shi Yan's soul altar. Those tiny insects and venomous creatures buzzed and screeched, giving Shi Yan a head-splitting headache. He couldn't even refine his Sea of Consciousness. As his Sea of Consciousness was stirred up, he couldn't concentrate.
Seeing the demonic insects and toxic animals approaching the tier of power Upanishads, a cold aura that chilled to the bone appeared. A black bead that had been hiding deep in the Ethereal Extent flew out of the Ethereal Extent like a strange, evil eyeball falling on the tier of power Upanishads. It was the Poison-dipped Cold Bead!
The Poison-dipped Cold Bead was condensed from the soul of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish. It could swallow all kinds of toxic things. It was so cold that it could subdue the soul and prevent it from falling into bedevilment.
The Poison-dipped Cold Bead emerged quietly. It sparkled with a strange, black light that rippled like water.
The Demonic Insects and poisonous creatures that had intruded his Sea of Consciousness screamed in fear and hurriedly retreated as if they had seen ghosts in broad daylight. However, no matter how hard the Demonic Insects and poisonous creatures struggled, they couldn't fly out of ShiYan's Sea of Consciousness.
Sha Zhao paled. The flute music in his mouth became more ear-piercing. Many venomous insects under his feet were trembling crazily.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
Each venomous insect in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness covered by the Poison-dipped Cold Bead turned into a wisp of gray smoke that was drawn into the Poison-dipped Cold Bead.
Shortly after, the venomous insects that had intruded Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness were all eaten up.
Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness calmed down. His pupils shrank. He smiled evilly and praised Sha Zhao. "Not bad. It should be a good tonic. Thank you for your generous gift."
Pausing for a while, Shi Yan laughed happily. "Anything else?"
Sha Zhao's eyes were dull. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. When I play the Magic Sound Flute, some of the savage creatures can't be controlled. It's my mistake. I hope you don't mind."
Sha Zhao clasped his hands to apologize continuously. He looked sincere and guilty, which made Shang Ying Yue more frightened.
