Wherever the light shone, the souls in Huang Quan River had a deathly stillness on their faces. Their eyes revealed an expression as if doomsday was coming. Under the light, they could not even struggle. They could only watch as the souls dissipated one by one, leaving behind tiny specks of light that quickly flew into the dark ghost lamp.
It was like a myriad of techniques returning to the origin!
When these light dots entered the Ghost Lantern, they all merged into the core of the lantern. Under the continuous influx of light dots, the core of the lantern, which was originally the size of a sesame seed, continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every time it increased in size, the light would burn even brighter, and the area it covered would be even larger, allowing it to absorb even more souls.
Everything was developing in a positive way.
Within a few breaths, with the ghost lamp as the center, hundreds of thousands of souls were mysteriously taken away. Moreover, there was no resistance at all. The ghost lamp was so strange that it made one's hair stand on end.
"Old Meng, among the eight Demon Kings, you are the most knowledgeable. Your 'Mortal Dream' cultivation method is cultivated with the help of other people's dreams. Few in the Demon Clan can compare to the things you know in other people's dreams. Do you recognize … this lamp?" The Golden Winged Bat King looked at the ghost lamp in Huang Quan with an unusually solemn expression as he asked Silver Hair.
"I've never heard of such a strange thing happening in the Sky Demon Mystery Land before. If you know, Old Meng, hurry up and tell us. Don't keep us in suspense." The moment the Blood Wyrm King saw the ghost lamp, the evil aura on his body involuntarily withdrew. This was a natural behavior.
Although Bi Ziyan didn't say anything, her beautiful eyes quietly fell on him.
"Haha!" A bitter smile appeared on the silver hair's lips. He shook his head slightly and said, "If we're talking about the most famous lantern-type treasures since the primeval times, I'm pretty sure that I can count them all. They are the 'Treasured Lotus Lantern' that was born in the ancient Ten Thousand Lotus Pool, the 'Li Huo Lantern' that was born in thousands of flames, and the 'Heaven's Heart Lantern' that was born from the essence of jade and earth. All of them had been famous since the ancient times. They had once displayed their supreme power in the hands of peerless experts. However, regardless of whether it was the Treasured Lotus Lantern, the Li Flame Lantern, or the Sky Heart Lantern, none of them had the same color as the one before him. It also doesn't have the terrifying power to devour souls and condense the flame. "
"In my opinion, this Ghost Lantern is not a treasure that appeared in the ancient times. Instead, it might be another supreme treasure that was born recently. It's a Connate Spirit Treasure that evolved on its own." Silver Hair said hesitantly. He sounded uncertain. After all, nothing was clear about what had happened in the ancient times and how many powerful treasures had appeared. The lamp in front of him was one such example.
What he could say was merely a guess.
"Connate numinous treasure?"
Blood Dragon King, Golden Wing Bat King, and even Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up at the same time. Others might not know, but how could they not know about the power of Connate Spirit Treasures? One had to know that there was a clear hierarchy of Dharma Treasures, Dharma Treasures, and then Spirit Treasures. However, above Spirit Treasures were Connate Spirit Treasures.
Connate Spirit Treasures were not necessarily stronger than Spirit Treasures, but they were born of the world. They contained the principles of the world and the charm of the Great Dao. If one could comprehend it, it would be a great improvement to one's cultivation. It was extremely miraculous. Unfortunately, these treasures were not refined by humans. They were naturally formed by the heavens and the earth, and they were extremely rare. Even in the ancient times, they were extremely rare.
If this lantern was a legendary Connate Spirit Treasure, then it must be said that it was a kind of supreme luck.
"Haha!" Silver Hair glanced at their expressions and said with a faint smile, "Don't think about those impossible things. We can't be sure whether it is a Connate Spirit Treasure or not. Even if it is, we can't get our hands on it with our strength. Putting aside the power of the strange lantern, the Huang Quan alone is a natural barrier that no one can cross. It is said that every Connate Spirit Treasure is created by fate. If that's the case, then this lantern will definitely leave on its own to find its destined owner. Unless we can find the owner of the lantern and kill him in the future, if we want to snatch it, we won't be able to stop it unless we're a Demon Saint or even a Heavenly Demon. "
There was a hint of regret in his words. Clearly, he was not completely uninterested in the lantern. Unfortunately, he did not have enough opportunities. He could not keep the opportunity even if it was right in front of him.
"If this lantern was really born from the Huang Quan, then it must be a treasure. Unfortunately … "
Sakra also muttered a few words in his mouth, but his eyes didn't blink as he looked at the scene above the yellow spring. He did not want to miss the next half of the scene.
At this moment, the light of the ghost lamp had already spread to the ancient bridge. All the living beings on the ancient bridge were enveloped by the light at the same time. Within the light, there seemed to be a mysterious power. Sakra only felt that in an instant, the soul in his body suddenly went into a trance, as if it was about to leave his body and fly out of his body.
Fortunately, this scene only lasted for an instant and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was as if it had never happened.
"Strange indeed!"
After this incident, Di Shitian's vigilance was raised to the maximum. He stared at the strange lantern.
As the area covered by the lantern grew larger, more souls were drawn into the lantern. Naturally, the speed at which the lantern expanded also increased rapidly. In just a few moments, the lantern's flame covered the entire world. It was like a black sun. It was unknown how large the area it covered was. One could only see countless dots of light pouring into the lantern from all directions.
"Whoosh!"
After a short while, the size of the lantern's core had changed to the size of a thumb-sized pearl. After this, the size of the lantern's core did not change anymore. However, the flame emitted from the lantern's core slowly turned into a strange green flame, like the will-o '-the-wisps that one would see in the unmarked graveyard. The color of the flame was almost exactly the same.
The lantern suddenly shook, and the dots of light around it were all drawn into the lantern. The lantern's light that covered the entire sky was instantly retracted and returned to the lantern's core. Then, it suddenly flew into the air, and the lantern's light burned brightly, bursting out in all directions. However, it did not completely disperse, but instead condensed above the lantern.
"Tsk tsk!"
A huge ghost monster with a strange black horn on its head condensed in the lantern's light. Its eyes emitted a green light, and it let out a strange ghostly cry. It looked at the ancient bridge, and there was an indescribable look in its eyes that caused the hearts of all living beings to violently contract. They secretly tightened, and they had the illusion that a calamity was about to befall them.
Then, the ghost king stretched out its hands, and ten slender and sharp ghost claws emitted waves of pitch-black ghostly qi. It stabbed into the void.
"Rumble!"
For a moment, it was as if the entire space was trembling, and there was a violent roar. A terrifying scene appeared in front of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators. The solid void was torn open by the ghost king's claws, and in the space, violent turbulence was constantly being destroyed and created. It was incomparably chaotic. If the people on the ancient bridge were to enter, there was no doubt that there would be no accidents, and they would be torn to pieces on the spot. Even their souls would not be able to escape.
Space was not as easy to pass through as one would imagine.
"Whoosh!"
However, the ghost lantern shook slightly, and a faint green light emitted. With a soft sound, it directly rushed into the crack. At the same time, the ghost king's entire body exploded, and it turned into countless green lights that entered the lantern.
"Bang!"
After the ghost lantern left, the spatial crack closed in an instant. The surrounding space trembled violently, and strange distortions appeared. Slowly, everything disappeared.
The black lotus in the Huang Quan suddenly withered and sank into the river.
Everything, in the blink of an eye, was completely silent. The lotus, the ghost lantern, the spatial crack. Everything was like a dream. It was illusory, as if it did not exist. If it was not for the fact that the densely packed souls in the Huang Quan had completely disappeared, it would have been like a dream.
"It really broke through the void and left."
Seeing this, the silver-haired man sighed and collected his thoughts. He said, "Well, don't think too much. The appearance of the ghost lantern this time was just an accident. Don't forget our purpose of coming here, which is to rush to the other side and snatch the ten places. We are only halfway there now, and the latter half will not be peaceful. Be careful of the water spirits in the Huang Quan. "
Taking a deep breath, without much hesitation, they rushed forward first. There were no other immortal cultivators in front of them, but their expressions were more solemn. It seemed that there was an inexplicable danger in front of them.
"Kill!"
As soon as the ghost lantern disappeared, although the scene just now was very strange and seemed unreal, the ghost lantern was just an accident. Everyone's real goal was to rush to the other side of the bridge. To seize the limited places. After a moment of silence, suddenly, sharp battle cries rang out once more.
All kinds of magic treasures and spiritual talismans flashed wildly on the ancient bridge.
The Monster Race relied on their strong bodies to use the most barbaric methods, such as tearing with their claws and biting with their mouths full of sharp teeth. Their entire bodies turned into the sharpest weapons, displaying ferocious battle prowess. The cultivators who had died at their hands had all been torn into pieces. Not a single piece was left intact.
The blood turned into a bloody mist that filled the air. The sky was dyed with a layer of blood.
Di Shitian swept his gaze forward and looked at the densely packed figures in front of him. His body once again overflowed with an indifferent aura. He held the Tiger Soul horizontally in his hand and a sharp killing intent surged out.
