Chapter 796: Chapter 418: A Sight in the Wilderness, Majestic as a Saint
Jiang Buping's heart jolted with surprise. Despite the great distance between him and his eldest senior brother, the sound of the wind could be heard, and even more stunningly, a green flame was sighted?
"Eldest senior brother, be careful and don't approach the flame."
Jiang Buping urgently warned.
"I had no intention of approaching it, but the strange fire is moving towards me. Let's stop chatting for now; I want to see what's peculiar about this flame."
Reading the message from his eldest senior brother, Jiang Buping couldn't help but feel astonished; he had never come across such a scenario in any text before.
"The sound of the wind is getting louder, and to think that two large eyes have appeared in the darkness, it's truly unconventional."
At this moment, the second senior brother also sent a message.
Jiang Buping was startled. Could it be that the entire wilderness was filled with the sound of wind and these unusual phenomena?
"The big eyes are coming this way. I'll see what's going on."
As he read the message from his second senior brother, Jiang Buping involuntarily tensed up, hastily remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
Both his eldest and second senior brothers had encountered unusual beings. Why hadn't he encountered anything?
In the dark and desolate wilderness, where the sound of the wind howled but no breath of air could be felt, Jiang Buping suddenly noticed a mass of white mist-like substance materializing in the darkness and drifting towards him.
"What is that..."
Jiang Buping's expression hardened as he sensed a chilling and sinister presence emanating from the white mist, a sense of malevolence that he had never encountered before.
"Remnant Soul!"
Practicing Extreme Soul Martial Arts, Jiang Buping was particularly sensitive to matters of the Divine Soul and hence he realized immediately that the white mist was, in fact, some unknown remnant soul.
The remnant soul fluttered, covering a wide area, filled with a dense and eerie atmosphere that made one feel a sense of grim evil at a glance.
"What has happened to the wilderness?"
Jiang Buping frowned deeply.
He didn't dodge, waiting quietly for the remnant soul to drift over. As an Extreme Soul Warrior, how could he be threatened by a mere remnant soul?
"If it harbors ill intentions, then I shall refine it."
Jiang Buping thought coldly to himself.
Whoosh!
The remnant soul drifted over him, enveloping him, and suddenly, it ceased its fluttering and began to converge towards his location.
Enshrouded by the remnant soul, the chilling and malevolent intention was particularly palpable. Ordinary True King Heavenly Venerables, if they encountered it, would likely feel terrified and, without a means to break free, might even go insane.
At this moment, Jiang Buping somewhat understood that the True King Heavenly Venerables who went mad traversing the wilderness probably encountered something similar to this mist of remnant souls.
"This is unusual. Below the level of True King Heavenly Venerable martial artists, one cannot shatter this mist of remnant souls, and might even get lost within it. How powerful must the individual who left behind such remnant souls have been while alive?"
Jiang Buping was shocked, recalling some rumors about the wilderness.
"However, encountering me is your misfortune. Refining the power of these remnant souls will also enhance my Extreme Soul Martial Arts."
Since the mist of remnant souls bore malice, Jiang Buping didn't hesitate to act.
Boom!
He raised his palm and within it, a black vortex seemed to emerge.
Extreme Soul Martial Arts Divine Skill, Swallowing Abyss!
Boom!
With a single palm strike, a dark abyss appeared amidst the mist of remnant souls, swallowing them up.
Faintly, Jiang Buping thought he could hear unsettling and strange noises from within the mist, including sinister laughter.
"Ha, you think you can affect my Divine Soul's will? Too naive," Jiang Buping shook his head.
After attempting to contact his eldest and second senior brothers without getting a response, he knitted his brows, yet he wasn't overly worried. Both brothers had extraordinary martial arts abilities; such unusual entities might threaten True King Heavenly Venerables or even Immortal Heavenly Venerables, but for his brothers, these were manageable threats.
As the mist of remnant souls dissipated, the wilderness returned to its silent solitude.
Jiang Buping set up a Formation and entered into cultivation, refining the power of the remnant soul mist.
…
The green flame flickered as if it were a twisting face, and a creepy atmosphere pervaded the surroundings.
The flame grew larger, spreading wider, eventually wrapping a swath of darkness like a vast sheet of silk.
Xu Yan was enveloped by the green flame, his Yin Yang Undying Sword continuously flowing, and his Imperishable Sword Intent surrounding him, with a faint aura of dragon might also emerging.
The green flame appeared abruptly and swiftly encompassed him.
At times, the flame looked like the amiable and steady face of a man, and at others, it resembled the sinister visage of someone wicked.
It was as if two people were entangled and struggling against one another.
"What is this?" Xu Yan frowned deeply, unable to detect any danger within the green flame.
Nonetheless, he dared not be careless, seeing as the green flame was exceedingly strange.
Hum!
A trace of Imperishable Sword Intent rippled out, stirring within the green flame; suddenly, an upheaval occurred.
The dancing green flame exploded in ferocity, and sounds of thunderous roars, clashing weapons, raging fury, and deep, sinister laughter could be heard.
Boom!
The green flame transformed, and in a daze, the scenery around him changed, no longer the pitch-dark wilderness.
Xu Yan's heart tensed as he remained alert to his surroundings, a Golden Dragon flickering within him while the Imperishable Sword Intent formed a gentle breeze encircling him.
"What is this?"
All of a sudden, Xu Yan revealed a look of shock.
