Chapter 220: Soul Attack! Emissary from the Soul Hall!

Chapter 220: Soul Attack! Emissary from the Soul Hall!

Above the distant sky, an invisible light hovers at the horizon.

A vast and mighty soul force, like a tide, rapidly sweeps out in all directions from its center.

At this moment, within the entire mountain range, apart from a few exceptionally strong high-tier magical beasts, the rest of the beasts all feel an intense soul pressure.

Under this soul pressure, their bodies involuntarily tremble slightly.

In the sky, the anomaly is also sensed by the Black Scaled Frigid Python.

"The master is truly formidable, actually breaking through to the spirit realm soul, it's unbelievable."

The Black Scaled Frigid Python looks at the invisible light in the sky, and even he feels a sense of awe at that vast soul force.

As a magical beast, his strength lies in his physical body, but compared to the soul, even two Black Scaled Frigid Pythons would probably not match the current Gu He.

The soul force, spreading like a tide, gradually dissipates after a few minutes, and the invisible light slowly comes into view under the watchful eyes of the Black Scaled Frigid Python.

As the light fades, a human figure vaguely appears - it is Gu He, but now his body seems extremely ethereal.

"Is this... the soul?"

The Black Scaled Frigid Python looks at the ethereal Gu He in the sky, his heart suddenly stirring, and he whispers.

The soul, an elusive concept for the strong in this era, is colorless and shapeless, making it unpredictable and hard to defend against.

Sightings of true human-like souls are rare; after all, condensing an ethereal soul into a human form that lasts is something even some Dou Zun level experts find difficult to achieve.

"Gu He" in the sky suddenly lowers his head, his gaze falling on the cave entrance below, where a slender figure is stepping up through the void.

"Master!"

The Black Scaled Frigid Python realizes that, unbeknownst to him, Gu He's physical body has already approached him.

Gu He's physical body, unresponsive to the Black Scaled Frigid Python's call, walks directly towards the soul "Gu He."

As the physical body approaches the soul, the soul "Gu He" also moves towards it. With each step, the soul form shrinks, becoming a palm-sized invisible light orb that gently lands on the forehead of the physical body and then disappears in a flash.

As the soul re-enters Gu He's body, his body trembles slightly, and the pervasive soul pressure dissipates.

Gu He stands in the sky, his dark eyes finally regaining clarity, revealing an extremely captivating brilliance.

Feeling his current state, Gu He can't help but let out a satisfied laugh.

The Spirit Realm, he has finally reached it!

Then, Gu He takes a deep breath and swiftly forms a hand seal, and as he does, a vast soul force bursts forth from his forehead, ultimately condensing into an invisible soul fist seal at the changing hand seal.

"Black Scaled, try my Soul Fist Seal!"

A low shout comes from Gu He's mouth. He then turns his gaze to the Black Scaled Frigid Python below and, with a laugh, suddenly solidifies his hand seal. The fist seal, filled with a vast soul pressure, turns into a bolt of lightning, striking towards the Black Scaled Frigid Python outside the cave!

"Ah!"

"...Master, you actually ambushed me!"

Hearing Gu He's laughter and seeing the "Soul Fist Seal" he strikes, the Black Scaled Frigid Python is momentarily stunned but quickly reacts. His fan-sized palms clench as he squints at the vast invisible force crossing space.

"Boom!"

The invisible soul fist seal arrives in an instant, colliding fiercely with the Black Scaled Frigid Python's iron-like giant fist. A low, muffled sound echoes across the sky.

Upon collision, the expected energy ripples don't appear. The Black Scaled Frigid Python's punch changes his expression slightly; the force of the soul fist seal isn't strong, but upon impact, he feels a faint pain and dizziness in his head, staggering back a few steps before stabilizing.

"Is this what a soul attack feels like?"

Stabilizing himself, the Black Scaled Frigid Python's expression grows serious. Although he didn't use full strength, Gu He's peculiar attack can't be resisted by physical strength alone, as it targets the soul.

Although it seems unlikely to cause fatal damage, such an attack during combat can cause brief dizziness, enough to turn the tide of battle!

"It is said that ancient alchemists, even some Dou Qi warriors, wouldn't dare to provoke them easily. Their soul attacks are unpredictable. But today's alchemists seem to have lost that cultivation method, so they mostly rely on the strength of Dou Qi in combat."

The Black Scaled Frigid Python ponders, not short on years and thus somewhat knowledgeable about alchemists.

"Hehe, Hei Lin, how do you feel? Are you alright?"

As the Black Scaled Frigid Python ponders, Gu He in the sky slowly descends, smiling at him.

Hearing this, the Black Scaled Frigid Python shakes off his thoughts, looks up at Gu He, and is slightly startled. He always feels that Gu He now has an elusive quality, as if he is facing not Gu He, but his soul.

"It seems this is some change after advancing to the spirit realm soul."

The Black Scaled Frigid Python didn't delve deeply into this matter. He smiled naively at Gu He and said, "Master, your soul attack is truly strong. If it were someone of a lower level, I fear their consciousness would be wounded under such a soul attack."

Hearing this, Gu He's mouth also curved into a smile, clearly satisfied with the power of his recent strike.

"I shall take my leave then!"

The elder, upon hearing this and feeling a shudder in the presence of the man in black, prepared to leave. He couldn't shake off the feeling of terror he felt, reminiscent of what he had only felt around that venerable Dou Venerate.

Thinking this, the elder wished nothing more than to disappear from before the man.

"Leaving?"

"What leaving?"

Seeing his "food" trying to leave, Hei Lin instantly acted, unleashing a terrifying pressure towards the elder.

"What!"

As the terrifying pressure enveloped him, the elder's face turned pale, and his eyes filled with shock.

"A Dou Venerate expert!"

"Senior, I am an earth-level protector of the Soul Hall. I hope you can spare me in consideration of my Soul Hall's position."

After the initial shock, the elder quickly reacted, invoking the name of the Soul Hall, hoping to intimidate Hei Lin.

"Soul Hall?"

"I feast on people from the Soul Hall."

Hei Lin sneered and hurled a terrifying frost fist imprint towards the elder.

Even with the Soul Hall's mysterious methods, the elder had no chance of resistance once the eighth-tier Hei Lin got close. Under the immense pressure, he could only watch helplessly as the giant fist imprint approached him.

In the next moment, a bone-chilling cold surged over the elder, turning him into an ice sculpture.

"Soul Seizing!"

Just after the elder was turned into an ice sculpture, a cold shout suddenly resounded through the void.

In the next moment, a soul form emerged from the ice sculpture, its face showing terror.

Gu He appeared nearby at some point, with a large dark vortex forming in his hand.

After his soul broke through to the spirit realm, the power of Gu He's Soul Seizing technique became even more terrifying, with a powerful devouring force emanating from the vortex.

Facing such a fearsome devouring force, the earth-level Protector Yun of the Soul Hall had no chance of resistance and was directly sucked into the vortex.

Moments later, a black bead formed in Gu He's palm.

Inside the bead, the elder was struggling, his face full of terror.

"Protector Yun, an earth-level protector of the Soul Hall. I didn't expect it to be you."

Recognizing the elder's face, Gu He realized who he was.

In Protector Wu's memories, there was a lot of information about Protector Yun.

After all, Wu Protector's direct superior was Protector Yun.

Inside the bead, Protector Yun also saw Gu He, his face immediately showing a plea for mercy.

"Hehe, once in my hands, don't even think about getting out."

Gu He smiled slightly, then put away the black bead.

Then, Gu He's gaze turned to the ice-encased corpse of Protector Yun.

"Hey hey, master, this guy's body should taste good."

Hei Lin, seeing Gu He's gaze, immediately grinned foolishly.

Hearing this, Gu He paused, then a cunning smile appeared on his lips: "Well, Hei Lin, this old guy's body isn't tasty at all. Let's make a deal. You give me this guy's corpse, and I'll take you out for a good meal."

"How does that sound?"
