Ye Xiao smiled and played with a ball of water in his hands for a while. The water ball has already become docile for some reason after encountering the lightning.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit funny. it was very violent just a few moments ago, but now, it has become as docile as a dog.
The water ball was swimming in Ye Xiao’s palm. After playing for a while, Ye Xiao put it on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
For now, he has no idea what the Holy Spirit or Demon Spirit actually is. He has to continue moving.
Ye Xiao didn’t waste time and ran straight ahead, but to his disappointment, he didn’t gain much in the next two days.
Until the third day, he encountered a big guy who was hidden in a big river. Ye Xiao had just flown over the big river when the big guy emerged out of it, swallowing Ye Xiao in one gulp.
Ye Xiao was not prepared for this attack. Because of the trial and this strange dark environment, not only his cultivation, even his senses have been suppressed. He found that although he could observe his surroundings using the Divine Sense, he can’t react to something unexpected that suddenly appears out of nowhere soon. He needed time to react.
It turned out that what Pygon said was true.
Every trial is filled with danger.
At first, Ye Xiao only thought that his cultivation was suppressed slightly. Only now did he understand that not only his cultivation sense was suppressed, but his senses were also suppressed, and at the same time, his reaction has also become slower.
Just like now, even though he had clearly seen the big Holy Spirit emerging out of the water, he was unable to react in time even though he wanted to, and was swallowed.
If it was anyone else instead of Ye Xiao, that person would have been dead by now. It is because after the Holy Spirit swallowed Ye Xiao, it actually started attacking Ye Xiao’s soul.
“Boom!”
Ye Xiao deliberately tested the method of the Holy Soul and collided with it with the power of the soul. As a result, Ye Xiao gained some understanding of the soul power of the Holy Spirit.
It was also at this time that Ye Xiao understood why there was the word ‘spirit’ in its name. It is because this damn thing’s soul was really very strong.
Ye Xiao had never met anyone whose soul is stronger than his. Even this guy’s soul was not stronger than his soul. But its soul was stronger than most of the Gods, and it might rival an Ancient God in terms of soul force.
The power of the soul of the Holy Spirit was extremely powerful, it was like a vast sea, although it suffered a great loss under the collision, it was not to the point where it’ll be killed.
“Sigh!”
Ye Xiao sighed and used his strong soul force to attack. The holy spirit actually gave out a human-like exclamation and wanted to escape when it sensed Ye Xiao bursting with stronger soul force.
However, it was like fish that has been trapped in a net. It failed to escape. Ye Xiao’s attack landed on its soul, instantly reducing its soul force to one-fourth. It was also the time Ye Xiao tore apart its water-like body and emerged. Then using the power of thunder, he tamed the Holy Spirit, causing it to immediately turn docile once again.
Its body was actually different from the previous one. The previous Holy Spirit was really like a water ball, but this Holy Spirit was originally milky-white in colour. Although its properties were also like water, it was still different. But after Ye Xiao used the power of thunder, its originally milky body gradually faded and finally became transparent.
After becoming transparent, the Holy Spirit began to be silent, all the violent breath disappeared as if it was purified.
Although the violent aura disappeared, the horrible soul fluctuations in it still remained.
The holy spirit is simply incredible. Even though it was left with one-third of its original soul force, it was still very powerful, enough to rival any Ruler.
After taming the Holy Spirit, Ye Xiao once again kept it on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
…..
Time flies fast, Ye Xiao runs wild in the vast and dark world, the search scope was getting wider, and he encounters three powerful holy spirits and seven slightly weaker holy spirits.
The holy spirits are very strange. They all have their own territories. Some were in the mountains, some were hidden in rivers, and some lived in rocks.
But no matter where they hide, one thing in common was that as long as Ye Xiao enters their field, they will instantly attack him on their own initiative, only to be tamed by Ye Xiao in the end.
These holy spirits, without exception, were very afraid of Ye Xiao’s power of thunder. Whenever Ye Xiao used the power of thunder, they seemed to be purified and clean of something evil, turning docile immediately.
When Ye Xiao was walking wildly in the vast and dark world, he encountered a very incredible thing. He encountered a figure.
The figure was taller than the Ancestral Dragon he could transform into. It was also carrying a huge bone knife behind its back. Its body was full of vitality. and when it stared at Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao felt like an insane amount of soul force pouring like a tsunami in the surroundings.
Seeing Ye Xiao, the figure was startled at first and could not help but call out: “Human?”
Ye Xiao was already shocked after feeling such soul force. Even he, who has the Ancient Divine Emperor Soul, can’t help but admire the powerful soul force of this being. If not for his Ancient Divine Emperor Soul, he wouldn’t have been able to stand firmly in front of such vast pressing soul force.
And when he heard this giant figure speaking, Ye Xiao’s surprise grew stronger: “It can speak?”
The huge figure suddenly stretched out his big hand, and the bone knife behind him cut open the space and chopped down at Ye Xiao. The aura that it suddenly erupted with was shocking. Ye Xiao estimated that this figure’s strength should be equal to at least a powerful Ruler or even an Exalted Ruler.
“Boom!”
Ye Xiao didn’t show any interest in fighting this figure. Seeing this figure attacking him, he also punched out.
When he punched out, the bone knife in the opponent’s hand also burst with powerful energy.
However, in front of Ye Xiao’s terror, the bone knife had no resistance at all. The bone knife was shattered into pieces. Ye Xiao also stepped out and hit the giant figure’s chest with a powerful punch.
The giant figure had no time to react and his giant body was broken. At the same time, Ye Xiao pointed out with an index finger and poked at its brows.
“Soul Search!”
“Puff!”
The moment, Ye Xiao used the soul search on this giant figure, its soul seemed to have suffered a huge but unexpected blow. It was instantly injured which surprised Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was surprised because it was not his soul search ability that damaged the giant figure’s soul. He was surprised because the giant figure damaged his own soul when it sensed Ye Xiao was about to search its soul. Its soul is very powerful, so it was able to immediately sense what Ye Xiao was about to do.
Although its soul was damaged and many memories were lost, it still gave Ye Xiao some useful information.
“It seems that I’ll not be lonely in this world of darkness.”
Ye Xiao smiled and then quietly ran in one direction according to the memory of the giant figure.
Ye Xiao learned from the giant figure’s soul that the Holy Spirits are actually a race. Just like Human Race, Demon Race, Holy Spirit is also a different race. The Holy Spirits that Ye Xiao encountered till now were low levelled Holy Spirits that don’t have intelligence.
In fact, there are also powerful Holy Spirits and the more powerful a Holy Spirit is, the more intelligent that being would be. It was no wonder that the previous giant figure could think and talk. That giant figure was also a Holy Spirit and was a High-levelled one at that.
The location where Ye Xiao was heading to now is where many powerful Holy Spirits are hidden.
Sure enough, after more than three days, Ye Xiao once again encountered a strong Holy Spirit.
After fighting for a few seconds, Ye Xiao once again tried to use the Soul Search on this Holy Spirit, however, just like before, it sensed Ye Xiao’s course of action and immediately destroyed its own soul.
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but curse his slow reaction at this moment. He has also started getting frustrated.
