The Five Devils in the Sea of Consciousness had gathered despair, fear, bloodthirst, greed, and resentment. After they had absorbed a lot of hollow spirits in the exotic land where the hollow spirits were floating, they had fallen into a dormant period. They didn't have any reaction, as if they were slowly evolving.
Shi Yan had almost forgotten that there were five Devils hiding in his Sea of Consciousness. This time, while he was flying around the Dead Soul Mountain range, the Five Devils seemed to be attracted by some kind of energy. They started to scream in his Sea of Consciousness, as if they were about to wake up. Shi Yan was startled. He couldn't help but sink his mind into the Sea of Consciousness to observe the Five Devils.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Five Devils were like five clusters of gray mist, which were so dense that he couldn't see them clearly. The negative feelings of despair, fear, bloodthirst, greed, and resentment were hovering inside. From time to time, they would surge and release those negative feelings.
The shrill howls came from the center of the five devils. As the shrill howls rang out, the dusky mass of fog gradually underwent a miraculous change.
The energy fluctuations surrounding the outer ring gradually converged and gathered towards the center. The originally rather large cluster of mist rapidly shrunk. In just a short ten seconds, the cluster of mist had disappeared, turning into five tiny fireflies that flickered with a strange and unpredictable brilliance.
Although they were getting smaller, the surging energy became more condensed. Some kind of transformation seemed to be happening fast.
After a while, the Five Devils, which were like specks of light, suddenly swelled up. In an instant, they turned into five ferocious-looking existences that looked like ancient Fiendgods. Some had sharp horns on their heads, some had green faces and fangs, some were covered in scales, and some had wings on their backs. They were all different from each other.
The only similarity was their shapes. They all looked evil, cold, and strange.
The condensing technique of the Five Devils in the Sea of Consciousness came from the Blood Vein Ring. The Five Devils needed to absorb the negative feelings and some kind of consciousness in Shi Yan's Sea of Consciousness. When the Five Devils had just been formed, they weren't strong enough. They could only use the soul attacks to resist the enemies. After a while, when they got out of the Sea of Consciousness, they could condense their half-real, half-illusory bodies.
Now that the Five Devils had undergone another transformation, he could see that the Five Devils were even more condensed. Even in his sea of consciousness, they seemed to have materialized. Strands of gray energy wrapped around their bodies, making them look like human bodies. They were quite refined, giving off a feeling that they were full of power.
Buzz buzz buzz!
In the sea of consciousness, the Five Devils howled fiercely. Like bloodthirsty beasts that smelled blood, they kept flying around, trying to escape from the sea of consciousness.
Shi Yan's pupils shrank, and his expression changed slightly. He could not help but refocus his attention on his surroundings. He wanted to see if there was anything here that could attract the attention of the Five Devils.
"What's wrong with you?" Cherry was surprised, her eyes suspicious. She didn't know what was going on.
This person was walking along just fine, but suddenly, he seemed to have lost his mind and suddenly froze in mid-air. … His eyes were lifeless. Could it be that he had some sort of hidden illness? Or was he possessed by an undead spirit?
Cherry suddenly became tense. Her watery blue eyes sparkled coldly, as she instinctively kept a distance from Shi Yan.
Normally, people who were possessed by the dead spirits would be extremely crazy and evil. They would attack all the creatures around them. They didn't know pain, and they weren't afraid of death. Most of them would urge their most violent power in just a blink of an eye, destroying everything around them.
The dead spirits didn't have a real body, so they didn't need to worry that the explosion of the possessed body would affect them. What they needed to do was to try their best to kill the other creatures and then drag their souls into the dead souls' evil lairs to create new dead spirits.
Cherry lived in the Dead Soul Mountain range, so she knew the features of the dead spirits well. Seeing Shi Yan's appearance, she immediately put up her guard.
A hexagonal blue crystal appeared in her palm like a blue flame. Inside the blue crystal, a misty blue light was moving, as dazzling as the stars. That blue light expanded, silently shining on Shi Yan.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
As soon as the blue light touched Shi Yan's body, it seemed to be ignited, turning into light smoke and dispersing.
Cherry was frightened. She knew that it wasn't good, and was about to leave immediately.
This Soul Testing Crystal of hers could detect whether a warrior was possessed by the dead spirit or not. Once the blue light of the crystal shone on the warriors whose souls were invaded, the crystal light would evaporate immediately.
How could he be possessed by the dead spirit all of a sudden? I didn't sense the aura of the dead spirit around here. Sigh, it's so bad now. I don't know how to explain this to my teacher.
Cherry had a belly full of bitterness. She contemplated inwardly, wanting to leave Shi Yan and run away.
She knew that Shi Yan had the cultivation base of the Third Sky of Sky Realm. After he was possessed by the dead spirit, he could burst out his power in a blink of an eye. She couldn't endure it. Even the Spirit Level treasures in her hands couldn't resist it. Thus, she didn't want to waste her effort. She decided to return to the Spirit Potion Valley first.
When she had just flown one hundred meters away, Shi Yan was shaken. He shouted, "Why are you running back?"
Cherry's soft body shivered. She discolored in fright, her eyes filled with fear. Not only did she not dare to stop, but she also accelerated her running speed.
Shi Yan was surprised. He asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
While talking, Shi Yan moved like lightning, approaching her in just a blink of an eye. He pitched his voice. "What the heck are you doing? I won't do anything to you. Why do you look like you're seeing a pervert? Yeah, although your appearance attracts perverts, you don't think that everybody is a pervert, do you? "
"Ah!"
Cherry screamed, looking at Shi Yan standing in front of her. She mumbled suspiciously, "Although the high-level dead spirit can talk like a normal person after it has possessed the body, it shouldn't be able to talk like that, right?"
The dead spirits in the Dead Soul Mountain range were divided into different levels. The low-level dead spirits didn't have a strong ability to erode the soul. Even if they could possess the body, they couldn't talk. Only the high-level dead spirits could use the host's body to communicate with people because their soul power was too intimidating.
However, even if the high-level dead spirits possessed the body, they could only speak some simple words. Moreover, they couldn't speak fluently.
Could it be that he was possessed by the highest level of undead spirits? In the legends, the highest level dead spirits had the same intellect as human beings. When one was possessed by this kind of dead spirit, the dead spirit's speech wasn't different from a human's. However, this kind of high-level dead spirit couldn't be seen even once in a hundred years. Am I that unlucky?
Cherry was frightened, but she didn't continue to run.
She understood that if she encountered that kind of high-level dead spirit, let alone her, even her teacher wouldn't be able to escape death.
Usually, when the dead spirits' evil lairs had some strange changes, only one or two of the high-level dead spirits would appear.
Once this kind of dead spirit appeared, all the alchemists and blacksmiths in the Dead Soul Mountain range would join hands. They would even invite the hotshots of the Radiant God Cult, the Pure Land, and the Devil Valley to help them deal with the enemy.
This kind of dead spirit was the most formidable existence. Rumors said that only the absolute experts at the True God Realm had the method to subdue it.
A Sky Realm warrior like her could be controlled by a high-level dead spirit with just a wisp of Soul Thought. She couldn't even perform a little bit of resistance.
"You … Who are you after all? Are you a human or a dead spirit? " Cherry was full of regret, cursing her teacher under her breath. Why did he give her such a task? She looked at Shi Yan with a pitiful face, asking weakly.
"It's just a short time. Why did you have such a big change?" Shi Yan was amused. "Did you see ghosts?"
"You're the one who sees ghosts!" Cherry cursed him. She was astounded, looking at him with surprise. "You … You're not possessed by the dead spirit, are you? But why did my Soul Testing Crystal show that there's another soul in your head? Only the evil souls like the dead spirits can burn the light of the Soul Testing Crystal. "
Hearing her words, ShiYan immediately reacted. It turned out that the existence of the Five Devils had made this woman paranoid.
"What's in my head isn't the dead spirit. It's something else. However, the characteristics of the soul are similar to the dead spirits," explained Shi Yan with a smile.
Cherry was surprised, her face odd. "You're a strange man. If there's nothing wrong, who would leave a strange thing in their head? Don't you know that once you get hurt or you're careless, the strange thing can occupy your soul, replace you, and control your body? "
"I know. But I have my way to deal with it," Shi Yan didn't explain further.
He had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame in his host soul, which could kill all kinds of soul creatures. Even if the Five Devils were more intimidating, they wouldn't dare to mess around in his Sea of Consciousness. Otherwise, they would be purified by the light of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame.
With this, any soul-type foreign object that entered his sea of consciousness would be seeking its own death.
"What happened to you?" Cherry was surprised, frowning and asking. Her blue eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Nothing. I just found something." Shi Yan smiled, lifting his head to look in a direction. "We should go there to check. Seems something interesting is happening there."
Cherry followed his line of sight. Her face changed, her face solemn. "That's the area where the dead souls' evil lairs often appear. Dead souls often wander there. Why do you want to go there?"
"To see the dead souls."
"Aren't you afraid that the dead souls will erode your soul? I've seen many young men at your realm intrude into some forbidden areas. The dead souls have occupied their bodies and taken their souls. I advise you not to take risks. "
"It's alright. I believe nothing will happen."
Cherry's blue eyes sparkled with a strange light. She hesitated for a while, then took out a Panacea with a painful face, giving it to Shi Yan. "Take this Panacea. It can make your soul as steady as a rock. Most of the dead souls won't attack you. I can't refine this kind of pellet. My teacher bestowed it to me. Remember, you owe me a favor. "
"No need. You keep it. I don't need the power of pellets." Shi Yan smiled, shaking his head. He didn't say anything else, flying towards the area where the Five Devils had sensed.
