Chapter 679: Chapter 309: Ten Million Nascent Souls, Scarlet Ghost Witch
Soul Devouring.
This was the sixth Soul Skill of the Ninefold Soul Tower. Before this, Han Yi had already comprehended the five Soul Skills of Soul Decline, Soul Snatching, Soul Searching, Soul Slaying, and Soul Altering. Each of these techniques belonged to the most orthodox Soul Skills and played significant roles.
The new Soul Skill, as the name implies, was Soul Devouring, which meant devouring Divine Souls. When used by a Nascent Soul, this Soul Skill could devour other Nascent Souls and obtain their Divine Soul energy, thereby strengthening oneself.
Moreover, besides other Nascent Souls’ Divine Souls, this Soul Devouring Secret Skill could also devour spiritual items and convert them into Divine Soul energy.
This was both a combat Soul Skill and a cultivation Soul Skill.
Furthermore, after devouring a Soul, one could temporarily obtain the original imprint of the opponent’s Divine Soul. As long as Han Yi was intentional, the opponent’s Soul Lamp would not even be extinguished.
Han Yi thought that if he used the Soul Devouring, Soul Searching, and Disguise Technique, his ability to kill, replace, and deceive others would become even stronger, to the extent that even Spirit Transformation cultivators wouldn’t be able to detect him.
It took him three days to fully master this Soul Skill. Afterward, he began to practice the ‘Mysterious Freedom’ technique from the Zizai Sutra.
In the uncertain environment of today, he directly used Top-Grade Spirit Stones for his cultivation. Although these Spirit Stones could be considered valuable even for Spirit Transformation cultivators, Han Yi was not a stingy miser. Currently, the most important thing was to convert the resources at hand into visible strength. The more valuable the Top-Grade Spirit Stones were, the more he used them.
Two months later.
Han Yi was awakened from his cultivation by a Spirit Lamp set at the entrance of his cave mansion. The lamp flickered with a red light, indicating that someone was calling for him outside.
He didn’t rush to open the door and go out. Instead, he first looked at his semi-transparent panel.
On the panel.
The Ninefold Soul Tower had already reached the ‘Extreme Realm’ but did not produce any supernatural power. Instead, it condensed the sixth Soul Skill. Perhaps in this inheritance, each Soul Skill was equivalent to a Divine Soul Skill.
Apart from that, there was an improvement in his Realm.
In these two months, Han Yi used Top-Grade Spirit Stones and spent 23 of them, raising his Realm to:
[Realm: Early-stage Nascent Soul (78/100)].
With this level, he was considered at a senior-level in the Early-stage Nascent Soul. Still, Han Yi felt it wasn’t enough.
If he had ample time to cultivate in the Yu Heng World, he would have been delighted with such rapid progress. But on the front lines, the increase in his cultivation base was limited in terms of boosting his combat power.
Han Yi took a deep breath, knowing that he was getting impatient. He slowly calmed his mind and wiped away the anxious emotions.
Then.
He slowly got up, packed his belongings, used his spiritual power to control the entrance, and opened the door.
A strand of scarlet light squeezed in from outside the cave mansion, shining on Han Yi’s face, causing him to squint his eyes.
“Scarlet light? What is this?” Han Yi walked out with doubts.
Outside, the Nascent Soul cultivators in this area gradually left their cave mansions, gathered outside, and looked up at the sky.
“Two months ago, the Immortal Castle emitted gentle Spirit Light. But now this scarlet light comes from the void and makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.”
The White Jade Daoist Friend appeared beside Han Yi, withdrew his gaze from the sky, and flashed a glance at Han Yi, “Daoist Han, it seems that you have gained a lot in these two months.”
Han Yi didn’t conceal his aura, so White Jade Daoist naturally saw that he had made progress in the Early-stage Nascent Soul.
“White Jade Daoist Friend is being humorous. It’s you who have made remarkable progress. In just two months, not only has your Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation stabilized, but you have also made significant advancements. Congratulations!”
Han Yi cupped his hands with a smile on his face.
The White Jade Daoist laughed and stopped boasting. Instead, he returned to the situation at hand.
“Daoist Han, can you see what is emitting that scarlet light in the depths of the void?” White Jade Daoist tried to ask, knowing that Han Yi was no ordinary person. Perhaps he had a supernatural power that could see through endless distance.
However, to his disappointment, Han Yi raised his gaze, stared carefully, and then withdrew his gaze, shaking his head, “It’s too far. I only see several figures in the void ahead. These figures should all be Immortals. Other than that, there’s nothing.”
White Jade Daoist no longer spoke, just followed his gaze and looked up.
At this moment.
The other cultivators in the cave mansion were doing the same, looking at the sky’s anomaly, but no matter what, they couldn’t see the source of the scarlet light.
Perhaps only those Immortals could ignore the distance and observe the source of the scarlet light with the Power of Laws.
However.
This was for the Beidou cultivators who had just joined the Immortal Court. For the original cultivators in the Immortal Castle, they were already extremely familiar with this scarlet light.
These cultivators couldn’t help but show fear and even despair on their faces.
“The Scarlet Dimension, the Scarlet Ghost Witch, how could this happen? How could we encounter a Ghost Witch? It’s over, it’s over this time.”
“A death rate of over 90%, with rumors of total annihilation. Hundreds of Immortal Castles and countless cultivators perished overnight.”
“We’re doomed.”
Han Yi and the other Beidou Region Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t know about the other Nascent Soul practitioners’ expressions since they were somewhat isolated within the same cave mansion.
A moment later.
Zhao Xuan Yi appeared again, but this time, his expression was no longer calm and composed. Instead, it was extremely serious, even suppressing some emotions.
