Chapter 96: Soul-Falling Bell, Soul-Catching Chain, Ghost Bone Banner
On the dark earth, a gloomy and terrifying fortress rose up.
The Hell Soul Realm also began to build a fortress on the edge of the battlefield. Originally, they planned to hide their main forces underground and catch the Chongming Realm off guard in the decisive battle. However, how could they not know that they were exposed by the white beams that swept over them several times a day?
This feeling of having no secrets at all is really uncomfortable!
Since it cannot be hidden, just display it openly. Then we will cooperate with the Heavenly Dao to devour the territory of Chongming Realm, and it will definitely be right to press forward to the fortress.
Now only the exterior of the fortress has been completed, and the interior arrangements are still a long way to go.
On the third underground floor of the fortress's central tower, three groups of souls and a petite, dark purple soul beast were surrounding here. In the middle of them was a huge eyeball, which moved left and right, as if observing.
It's a habit they've developed over a long period of time, and they prefer to stay in the dark even when they know they can't hide.
Ripples appeared in the pupils of the big eyes, and soon a blurry picture emerged. The picture quickly became clear. It was the battlefield No. 8 where fighting was taking place on the front line.
As a society that focuses on the study of souls, Soul Prison naturally has means of long-distance observation.
Unfortunately, the fortresses in the Chongming Realm are all shielded by divine patterns, and their means of observation cannot ignore the shielding. They can only see the light of the divine patterns.
The battlefield had just been cleaned by Jiang Yi not long ago. Although the ground was still black and red, all kinds of emotions, desires, and auras were very faint, just like a new battlefield.
"What's going on?" The soul cultivators who were observing quickly discovered the problem.
"The soul disappeared into the warrior's body?"
This kind of situation is everywhere on the battlefield, and it is hard not to pay attention to it.
"No, this is not a sneak attack. How is this different from committing suicide?"
Directly enter the warrior's body with the soul and compete with the warrior for the physical body. As long as the defense of the treasure is broken, the soul cultivator has always won more than lost. But now, as soon as the soul enters the warrior's body, it is gone!
How come it's gone!
"The maximum impact distance is about ten meters."
"Not only the souls of our soul cultivators, but also the souls of soul beasts will be devoured if they enter the ten-meter range. There is no distinction."
After a simple observation, several soul cultivators quickly analyzed the key data.
But when will warriors be able to devour souls?
"This situation has occurred to warriors from all sects. It is not martial will, but the effect of a new type of treasure."
"With so many of them, it should be a seal, not a direct annihilation of the soul. Ordinary defensive Horcruxes are not very effective against a seal."
"It doesn't look like the upper limit is too high, but this thing is killing our bottom-level strength!"
It is true that it is the high-level combat power that determines the outcome of the war between the two worlds, but if the Heavenly Dao wants to devour the territory of another world quickly and with low consumption, it needs the cooperation of a massive amount of low-level combat power.
Therefore, it is impossible to give up the struggle at the bottom.
"Could it be that Jiang Yi?" The dark purple soul beast spoke, its voice neither male nor female, without any emotion.
"Very likely!"
They have been fighting warriors for so many years, how could they suddenly change?
"Give it a try. This level shouldn't be difficult to crack."
"Then I..."
At this moment, the disgusting white beam of light fell again from the unknown void, shining in this underground space, and finally stopped on the giant eye. A breath of destruction arose from the white beam of light.
"not good!"
The four of them attacked almost simultaneously, using all kinds of defensive means to protect the large eyeball in the center. Although the white beam of light could still penetrate their various defenses, the destructive force could not reach the large eyeball. "The attack was quite ordinary, but it was enough to hurt the spiritual pupil."
"too disgusting!"
They were illuminated by this white beam of light every day, and all the shielding methods they tried were useless. If they did not have an absolute advantage, this battle would have been impossible to win.
"I have an idea. Let's withdraw the people at the front first. Don't worry about those soul beasts. If the warriors like, just give them to them to kill. They don't dare to cross the line."
Although this is just a war of attrition, the low-level soul cultivators must die meaningfully even if they die, rather than being killed by the other side like they are doing now.
"I'll ask my servant to get one back."
……
The flying boat arrived at Fortress No. 5, but Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to go down.
"I have 15 points of merit again. What can I redeem this time?"
Although he only gained two or three points of merit each time he swept the battlefield, the lasting influence of the Soul-Sealing Mirror meant that Heaven would reward him with one or two points from time to time.
Moreover, there would be surprises in the merits of preaching from time to time, and no one knew where they came from. Now there were four points of merits of preaching.
The two merits added together are enough for another exchange.
The planned Bagua furnace had to be postponed again. Currently he had no time to study alchemy, and his refining skills were sufficient for the time being. Moreover, he could also obtain the refining inheritance by exchanging other copycat spiritual treasures.
Jiang Yi already had several goals in mind, but he was still hesitating about how to optimize the exchange.
There are five types: Soul-Falling Bell, Ghost Bone Banner, Soul-Catching Chain, Yin-Yang Mirror, and Demon-Calling Banner.
I won’t say much about the Soul-Falling Bell, it is Guangchengzi’s magical treasure, which targets the soul.
The Ghost Bone Banner is the magic weapon of Bian Ji from the Shang army camp in Fengshen, which can automatically attack the enemy's soul.
Just like the Soul-Falling Bell, the two spiritual treasures have the ability to cause people to fall into a coma. Without actually exchanging them and trying them out, it is hard to say what the exact effect will be.
The Soul-Catching Chain, the spiritual treasure of the underworld, the name of the effect speaks for itself. If you exchange for a copycat version, it is very likely that some of the ghost cultivation inheritance will be included.
The Yin-Yang Mirror, one side reflects life, the other side reflects death. Jiang Yi has been coveting the Yin-Yang heritage in it for a long time.
The Demon Summoning Banner can also attack souls and command a group of demons. Jiang Yi is very curious, are the soul beasts in the Hell Soul Realm also within the command range?
There are many soul beasts in the Hell Soul Realm, and many of them are powerful. If the soul beasts were to turn against us in the middle of a battle, it would undoubtedly be like cutting off an arm of the Hell Soul Realm!
You have to know that those soul cultivators like to live with soul beasts. Once they turn against them, a fight will break out inside the soul beast's body immediately.
"I might as well just exchange them all for the Beggar's Edition this time. Anyway, each level can only be exchanged once, and there will be a steady stream of merits in the future. I won't have time to comprehend those inheritances if I exchange them for the copycat versions now."
"And even if the Beggar's Edition is not very powerful, it can be passed on to other practitioners in the future, and it is still a strong fighting force."
What if there is a surprise?
Jiang Yi made up his mind and took out the magic weapon as the exchange carrier. After all, he had already made a plan and naturally prepared the carrier early.
This time he planned to exchange for three beggar-version items, namely the Soul-Falling Bell, the Soul-Catching Chain, and the Ghostly Bone Banner.
There is no need to rush to use the Yin-Yang Mirror and the Demon-Summoning Banner for the time being. Even if they are really effective, the Demon-Summoning Banner is the trump card in the decisive battle and must not be exposed at this time.
I'm too busy today, sorry for the missing chapter, I'll make it up tomorrow.
