C47

Luo Hao searched the surroundings while standing at the top, but he did not find Zhao Yuanming and Zhao Yuanming. Perhaps, they were too far away, so they were not within his line of sight.

Putting all other thoughts aside, Luo Hao started to size up the swamp in front of him.

The entire swamp was a deep black, even the aquatic plants on top were the same color, with countless black bubbles rolling inside. It was unknown whether it was the breathing of the soul beasts or the natural gas bubbles caused by the marsh gas.

Other than these, it seemed very calm, without any other dangers.

Further up ahead, several hundred zhang away, there was a pavilion. Behind the pavilion was a long stone bridge that extended all the way to the other side.

In one breath, they could only fly for at most several dozens of meters. There was no rest area in between to exchange breath, so it was simply impossible to reach, not to mention that the soul beasts hiding in the swamp could come out at any time to launch an attack, no matter how strong you were, you would not be able to survive.

"Damn. I've searched everywhere and there is simply no path that leads to the shore. After such a bloody battle, I've finally come here. Could it be that I have to return empty-handed?"

This person was dressed in ordinary clothes and came from a common force. There were several people in his group, but the only one who had arrived here was him. Naturally, his heart was filled with indignation.

"If you don't, don't tell me you can fly over and land on the pavilion opposite."

A martial artist said, his tone full of unwillingness.

The one who spoke didn't have any intention, but the one who heard had his own heart.

After discovering that there was no path that led directly to the other side, everyone's attention returned to the pavilion several hundred zhang away. As long as they could find a way to reach the pavilion, they would be able to reach the other side and obtain countless medicines and treasures.

Under the huge temptation, some of the warriors started to take the risk.

It was also noted that there was a solid meadow in the swamp, which was still exposed to the water, and that it could be used as a temporary foothold. If there was no interference, one could land on it to catch one's breath, then fly up again and land on another patch of grass, and so on, until one reached the pavilion.

After realizing this, some martial artists began to move.

He only saw a middle-aged Peak of the eighth level of Soul Nurturing Stage practitioner leap high into the air, and after flying for a distance, he released his power towards the sky and struck out his palm. Then, using the recoil, his body flipped in the air and fell, accurately landing on a piece of grass that he had observed beforehand.

The middle-aged man stood on one foot and carefully observed the surrounding situation. Sometimes calm was not necessarily a good thing, the middle-aged man had crawled out from a pile of dead people, so he couldn't relax his vigilance at all times. This was the reason why he was able to live until now.

Middle-aged man was on alert as he looked around to find a place to rest. Suddenly he squinted his eyes. There was a pile of water grass about two feet in front of him. There was a solid black soil below it.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man exerted more strength into his legs and his body flew up into the air again, gliding forward. Then, he landed on the spot he was looking at.

The middle-aged man jumped up from the shore, stopped, and then jumped up again. However, he didn't encounter any fierce beasts, which gave the warriors a feeling of fluidity. They guessed that the swamp wasn't as dangerous as they thought, and was just scaring themselves.

With such a thought in their mind, many of the martial artists began planning on jumping onto that piece of land in the swamp, and then finding a place to land again.

However, the cruel reality told them that if they wanted to pass through, they had to pay the price. That was life.

"AHH!"

Countless exclamations were suddenly heard from the shore. Those warriors who wanted to jump out were even more frightened. Their faces became pale and their bodies became weak as they sat on the ground.

The reason why people let out cries of alarm was because the middle-aged man who was about to jump out and stop once again, was still floating in the air, with the momentum of falling, suddenly, what seemed to be grass below him, was actually a creature that had rushed out, which was as thick as a bucket, opening its huge mouth, swallowing the middle-aged man who had not even had the time to let out a cry of shock. Then, it fell head first into the swamp, splashing raindrops that filled the sky.

The people on the shore were still in a state of shock and astonishment. With such a terrifying soul beast, how could they continue living like this?

had already known that there would be such a result. Even if he spread out his spiritual sense, he would be able to spread it out to more than thirty meters away, and he would not be able to escape even if there was any trouble. Naturally, he could sense that there were some unknown soul beasts lurking in the swamp, but even if he did tell others, no one would believe him.

There were many people in the crowd who were not stronger than him, and even they were unable to detect what Luo Hao had said. How could anyone believe what he had said at the early eighth stage?

Standing silently in the crowd, Luo Hao thought of a possible way.

If he wanted to safely pass through, getting a good foothold would be important, but to be able to predict the location of a soul beast was equally important.

Soul beasts also needed to breathe like humans, and only sounds would come out. While flying in the air, one had to guard against the attacks of soul beasts, and also had to use the Soul God to predict the location of soul beasts. The consumption of soul power was extremely high, and this required a large amount of soul power, but Luo Hao had such an advantage.

Those with a higher cultivation realm than him would not be able to sense the creature that had swallowed the middle aged man, but Luo Hao could. This was's display of how he was stronger than them in terms of soul power.

The reason why Luo Hao had such a strong soul power that was comparable to that of a Soul Mirror owner was because when the two souls were transmigrated, the most important reason for the fusion was because of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit. The Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit could devour all humans and beasts that had the soul power and turn them into its own, which was the most terrifying thing about it.

This was because a person's soul power was mostly at the innate level. The acquired level was mainly through advancement in cultivation. There were very few medicinal pills that could increase one's soul power.

"Let's go back the way we came."

Some martial artists began to retreat. It seemed like the treasures on the other side of the lake were not meant for them.

However, Luo Hao began to move.

He held the treasured sword in his right hand and the remaining Soul Nurturing Pill in his left, which could be replenished in time when his physical strength was exhausted. As his strength increased, the rate at which he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Essence would also increase.

"Eh, someone seems to be about to take action again. Could it be that they aren't afraid of trouble?"

"Look, more are going to die. I'm guessing that this person will be devoured by that Black Scorpion when he leaps into the air!"

Humans were like this. They did not have the strength to make it to the pavilion, so they naturally did not wish for anyone to succeed.

"I once saw him use the seventh stage of soul nourishing stage to kill someone at the peak of the eighth stage. Ah!"

The reason why this person was like this was because he discovered that Luo Hao was not at the early seventh stage, but the early eighth stage. A day of breaking through a new realm made him feel that it was unbelievable, as the growth of this kind of strength was unheard-of to him.

Luo Hao raised his spirit to its peak, looking for the first landing point, his feet touching the ground, he leaped up into the air like a great roc spreading its wings, when he landed at the first point, he did not stop, but continued to soar up, his body appearing like he was falling, he activated his Spirit Qi at the sword wielding hand, and used all his strength to slash downwards.

The black python that had attacked the middle-aged man did not leave, but changed its position and continued to lurk on the surface of the swamp. With its sensitive perception, it heard the sound of something breaking through the air, guessed that another human had passed by, and did not suppress its breathing, leaping out of the water and opening its bloody maw to bite at the person in the air. Unexpectedly, what awaited it was a flash of sword light.

The reason why Luo Hao was able to launch an attack first was because he used his powerful consciousness to hear the Black Marsh Python's breathing, which was no longer suppressed and released.

Pfft!

If the huge head of the snake was cut off, the Black Marsh Python's body would have been split into two and thrown into the swamp.

Borrowing the impact of the collision, Luo Hao tumbled forward in the air, and then landed on a few square meters of dry grass. The Soul Nurturing Pill on his left hand was stuffed into his mouth, quickly replenishing his exhausted energy.

That works too?

With Luo Hao's continuous movements, everyone was stunned and dazzled by what he saw. Especially the fact that Luo Hao predicted the death of the Black Marsh Python, everyone who saw it felt their hearts tremble.

Yan Chi was also currently standing in the crowd, so he naturally saw Luo Hao's performance clearly. He could not help but let out a sigh in his heart, and he felt that Luo Hao might be a huge obstacle in his path to snatch the treasure.

He couldn't wait any longer. Yan Chi willed it, and a transparent wing-like object appeared in his hand. He chanted a few words, and the transparent object mysteriously rose up on his back, and continuously flapped its wings.

Yan Chi's feet touched the ground, he disappeared from where he stood and flew forward like a bird.

"Wow, someone's preparing to go over again."

"Holy shit, even the Avians have come."

When someone saw the pair of wings on Yan Chi's back, shouting out a name of a race that they had never heard before, they naturally only felt it was true.

The thing on Yan Chi's back could also fly for a long period of time. When the energy channeled into it wasn't much left, it would stop flapping, and at this time, it would have to be reinfused before it could fly again.

The place where Luo Hao landed was directly facing the pavilion, so from here to the pavilion, the distance was the shortest and it saved him a lot of effort.

Yan Chi also wanted a place to stay.

"My dear friend, I am taking this chance to rest and I do not have any malicious intent. I hope that you do not misunderstand, not to mention that this journey is extremely difficult and dangerous. One more person can provide an extra layer of protection, don't you think?"

Yan Chi flew above Luo Hao, but did not immediately descend.

Luo Hao did not answer, and only allowed the other party to land not far away from him.
