Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 257 Visitors from the Upper Realm
Although the Wild Soul World has a planetary structure, it is not located in the universe.

Outside the atmosphere should be outer space, which is called the Sky Beyond Heaven by the indigenous people. At the end of the Sky Beyond Heaven is a crystal wall that wraps the entire world.

This is the barrier that isolates the world from the void, and it is also the world's first line of defense.

The second line of defense is the outer world where terrifying strong winds are everywhere.

The originally peaceful energy became violent under the influence of this strong wind. Even a Soul Saint from the past might die if he stayed here for too long.

This is not alarmist talk, but a result of bloody incidents that have occurred in this world.

"We have arrived at the highest point in the world, Tianwaitian. It is so beautiful. Isn't this the remains of a Soul Saint? Let's take a look at the strong wind in the distance."

The crow on Chen Xingzhi's shoulder cackled, and in a flash it brought back the half body of the Soul Saint.

Chen Xingzhi squatted down and examined the remains. Based on the clothes he was wearing and the shape of the wound, he made an inference:
"This Soul Saint has been dead for about 1,700 years. The cause of death is likely that he got lost in the strong wind and his soul was pulled out by the chaotic energy, and half of his body was torn apart."

He glanced at the place where the body had been before and added, "The other half of the body was able to be preserved for so long, probably because it fell into that ball of cold and pure energy and was frozen and sealed very well."

After hearing his words, the crow appeared again, picked up the cloud formed by the cold and clear energy, and swallowed it into its stomach in just a few bites.

"It tastes good, with a faint smell of rot. Besides that, there is also a hint of the smell of gray goo."

As soon as it finished speaking, two rays of light flew out from the remaining half of the Soul Saint's body, one flew straight to Chen Xingzhi's face, and the other sank into the mothership.

"It's a soul virus. It should be the work of the Heavenly Demon Soul Saint. Combined with the nanorobots left in that group of cold and pure energy, it seems that I have found the right place."

Raising his hand, Chen Xingzhi grabbed the flying soul virus and crushed it after taking a glance at it.

As for the other soul virus that invaded the mothership, he ignored it. Today's nano-cluster consciousness is not the first generation, and its firewall has been perfected. The small soul virus was suppressed without causing any trouble.

"You didn't let the two soul viruses spread the news?"

Hearing him ask this, the crow nodded.

"I have plenty of abilities to intercept information, and I can even help you figure out their destination address."

A ray of light came out of its mouth, revealing to Chen Xingzhi the destination of the information it had just transmitted.

"Coordinates confirmed."

A dull mechanical sound was heard, and the Gray Gu mothership adjusted its course and headed towards the target.

Thanks to the mothership's huge mass, as well as its solid and reliable shields and armor, wherever it passes, the strong winds cease, the energy becomes calm, and a calm windless belt is left along the way.

“We are close to our goal.”

Not long after, the nano-cluster consciousness issued a prompt sound. Chen Xingzhi stood on the empty bridge, looking at the gust of wind on the screen that was no different from the one next to it, and smiled slightly.

"Through the illusion created by the strong wind and the manic energy, this Heavenly Demon Soul Saint is as his name suggests, a character as changeable and cunning as the Heavenly Demon."

Since he knew that the gale before him was an illusion and the Demon Soul Sage was his enemy, Chen Xingzhi did not hesitate and ordered the mothership to open fire at full force.

The energy arc and the gray poison energy torpedo sank into the illusory strong wind, tearing a corner of the illusion and revealing its original appearance.

The gale dissipated, and what remained standing was a dark and gloomy palace. Every brick and tile on it bore traces of knife and axe cuts. Spots of blood were scattered on the stone pillars and steps. It seemed that many fierce battles had taken place here.

Chen Xingzhi looked at the plaque on the main entrance of the palace, which had three large characters "Palace of the Heavenly Demon" written on it.

"There is no breath of life inside, and no soul fluctuations." The crow cawed twice, "Could that Heavenly Demon Soul Sage be dead?" "Who knows?" Chen Xingzhi shook his head, looked at the data displayed on the screen, and said: "Based on the readings sent back by the multi-dimensional sensor, I have reason to suspect that there is a gap leading to the void inside."

He began to suspect that the Demon Soul Sage had been lost in the void, or had already been killed by an outsider in the void.

"The most urgent thing is to investigate the situation inside."

The moment they stepped into the Heavenly Demon Palace, Chen Xingzhi and Crow felt prying eyes falling on them.

The next moment, the spiritual power field shielded their surroundings and even traced their gazes in reverse.

Disturbed by the spiritual power field, the prying gaze quickly disappeared, but was eventually caught by Chen Xingzhi.

A strange wave swept through, and the entire palace was frozen except for Chen Xingzhi and the crow. No one could move freely, including the unknown existence that was about to move.

Deep in the hall, an indistinct black shadow was crawling on the ground. He saw the approaching figure and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Heavenly Demon Soul Saint?" Chen Xingzhi showed an interested look. "As expected of a Soul Saint with the title of Heavenly Demon, he is also very cruel to himself."

The black mass in front of him had nothing to do with the word "human". It was just a movable void crack. If it weren't for the nanorobots barely maintaining its frame, this black shadow would have fallen apart long ago.

The location of the last Gray Gu Soul Box is right inside this active void rift.

The black shadow tried to struggle, and a thought was conveyed.

"help me."

After a careful look, Chen Xingzhi discovered that there was another consciousness trapped in this black shadow. This consciousness obviously did not belong to the Wild Soul World, and it carried the unique aura of another world.

"The characteristics of this energy are somewhat similar to the spiritual energy of the upper realm recorded in a certain ancient book. Could it be that this consciousness is originally a creature from the upper realm?"

Although the Wild Soul World has a planetary structure, it is only a subsidiary of another world with a higher energy level.

According to his observations, even the sun and the moon that have been hanging in the Wild Soul Realm since time immemorial originated from the upper realm and are projections of the two celestial bodies in the upper realm.

According to ancient records, there were many examples of strong people in the Wild Soul Realm ascending to the upper realms. This was not until nearly three thousand years ago, when it suddenly stopped and no one succeeded in ascending. Even the highest combat power dropped from Soul Emperor to Soul Saint.

This problem occurs either because the world's energy level has fallen and cannot support higher-level powers, or because a key element from the upper realm is missing.

For example, the spiritual machine of the upper realm.

Chen Xingzhi's eyes became dangerous as he pondered how to get this consciousness out so that he could study what this so-called upper realm was all about.

"It's a bit difficult to deal with. What on earth is wrong with this Heavenly Demon Soul Saint? It's ok that he transformed himself into a void rift, but he even locked the consciousness of a creature that seems to be from the upper realm into his body."

If he acts rashly, it is very likely that everything imprisoned inside the black shadow will be sucked into the void. Then he will be like looking for a needle in a haystack and will never find the things inside.

He had no choice but to change his thinking and try to plug the crack in the void first, and then go and get what he needed.

After a while, Chen Xingzhi stopped what he was doing and frowned.

Unlike what he imagined, the things in the black shadow, whether it was the Gray Gu Soul Box or the two entangled consciousnesses, were already on the edge of the void. If the crack was closed, he would miss them.

"If you close the void rift, you will be isolated from the things in the shadow. If you open the void rift, it will be difficult to fish out the things inside. Which little genius designed this structure?"

"If I find out, I will definitely slap him twice."
