Almighty Alchemist

Today, Xiu Yi was standing in the empty valley, his flowing hair covered his eyes, but they couldn't block the deep light in those eyes.

"Spirit of the atmosphere, respond to my call and give severe punishment to those who disrespect..." Following a series of whispered spells, the wind element in the air condensed again, and the wind spirit blue appeared beside him.

"Wind Strike!" Xiu Yi said.

"Hiss!" Lan let out a long scream, turning into a whirlwind and enveloping Xiu Yi.

The wind blows and moves, and a raging wave rolls across the flat ground. The sharp long sword expands and contracts in the wind, and stabs the imaginary enemy in the target—Xu from different angles.

Xu howled wildly, his body swelled in an instant, and his sharp claws tore a strange air ripple in the air.

Xiu Yi's body spun around in the wind, bypassed Xu's sharp claws to attack, and turned to attack its outside. The two blazing birds hissed at the same time, and spit out a large piece of flame at Xiuyi.

At the same time, a high-pitched chant sounded: "In the name of the elements of heaven and earth, grant us the power not to be harmed by evil... Conservation enchantment!"

The figure covered by the enchantment shining with space energy forcefully rushed out of the sea of ​​flames and came to Xu's back. Then, Xiu Yi kicked Xu's chest hard.

"Oh!" The little guy rolled in the air unwillingly and howled angrily.

Then it fell heavily to the ground, looking at Huey angrily.

It didn't expect that Xiu Yi would use a tactic that would hurt both sides, just to kick his ass.

Xiu Yi sneered: "Do I have to use the wind spirit shield to delay the timing of the battle? The vindictive energy shield of the samurai can also weaken the damage of the elements. This is a punishment for you still using the instinct of monsters to fight and not able to comprehend the combat skills. Next time if you don't know how to combine * and combat skills, I will kick your face."

The two blazing birds were very annoyed at Xiu Yi's "outrageous words", and they cried out loudly.

"I know you didn't use all your strength." Xiu Yi smiled, the wind on her body finally stopped at this moment, and Lan showed her face again. "Blue, good job."

Using Lan's ability to help him complete the wind strike, so that he can have more opportunities to use other weapons, is what Xiu Yi thought of after many days of training. As of today, Xiuyi has completely completed the preliminary plan for the combined use of space system *skills and wind system *skills.

This is the first time that Xiuyi has tried to combine different types of *spells, but in the future, he is confident that he can create more powerful *spells.

Today, he is unknowingly embarking on a growth path with a strong self-color.

Apart from practicing, Xiu Yi was full of curiosity about the jade ring she got from Ablit back then.

This quaint jade ring has a peculiar texture, even with the eyes of an alchemist, he can't tell what it is made of.

Back when Ablitt yelled at him to hand over the map and the Soul Devouring Ring, Xiuyi realized that the value of this jade ring was definitely higher in Ablitt's mind than Electra's notes.

But how to use this jade ring?

These days, Xiu Yi has studied the Soul Devouring Ring more than once.

But every time he pays attention to this jade ring with his heart, his soul energy will have a strong sense of tremor, as if his whole body and mind will be sucked into it. Every time, Xiuyi relied on strong willpower to get rid of the terrible soul attraction of the crown.

The soul * technique itself ignores the level, and the will is the only reliance to restrain the soul * technique. It was precisely because of this that Xiu Yi was able to escape from this thing. Considering the name of the Soul Devouring Ring, Xiu Yi felt that this jade ring was probably related to the soul-like magic. It is precisely because of this that Ablitt will solemnly collect it instead of using it himself.

Today, Xiu Yi first blessed herself with a firm will to ensure that she would not be corroded by the spirit-devouring ring, and then boldly took out the jade ring for research.

Perhaps because of the long history, the surface of Yuhuan is a layer of gray color, giving people the feeling of vicissitudes of history. The jade ring was covered with nicks, which looked like the imprints left by countless knives and axes.

However, Xiu Yi discovered that these scratches did not seem to be the result of random chopping.

The engravings seem to be arranged according to certain rules, and there is a unique connection between each engraving. It looks like a formation, but it doesn't know where the energy comes from.

Could it be that this jade ring was sealed by a certain formation? Such a thought suddenly popped up in Xiu Yi's mind*.

He hurriedly examined the notches on these jade rings carefully, and faintly, he found that the tracks of these notches were somewhat similar to the formation map of the power-absorbing array used by Electra that he had learned from the Space Gate.

It's just that it's not the same as that power-draining array in some respects.

Xiu Yi carefully distinguished it, and found that it was the part that was aimed at the power attribute. It was precisely because of this change, coupled with the extreme secrecy of the notch itself, that he couldn't recognize this * formation all at once.

Could it be that this formation is a power-absorbing formation specially used to seal soul energy?

There was a burst of ecstasy in Xiu Yi's heart.

"Xu!" Xiu Yi screamed wildly.

The little guy rushed over, not knowing what was going on.

"Stay here and don't move." Xiu Yi said, and then he shouted loudly: "Red, Green, don't let anyone approach me, I want to do an experiment!"

Blazing Bird responded loudly from the sky.

The next moment, Xiu Yi took out the materials from the ring, and began to arrange the array according to the notches on the jade ring.

He didn't know whether his guess was correct, but he knew that if he guessed wrong, at worst he would lose a batch of materials, but if he guessed right, then he would have another weapon that could target soul healers in the future.

It's a pity that the Lance Empire will not have a high-level soul master to hunt him down, but no matter what, it is always good to have a little more power.

The first array will be completed soon.

Xiu Yi chanted a mantra to Xu in the formation: "Sink in the sea of ​​lust, wake up when everything is silent, the will of nothingness controls everything... the spirit burns"

A ray of spiritual energy went towards Xu **.

At the same time, the * array on the ground emitted a strong light, covering Xu.

Spiritual energy is like a mass of flowing light in the * array, wandering endlessly, but not disappearing.

Sure enough, it is a power-absorbing array!

This is exactly the characteristic of the power-absorbing array, it does not eliminate any attacking power, but only absorbs them and utilizes them.

This kind of array can be invincible for the energy attack of a single attribute. Even with the powerful energy storm in the gate of space, it is impossible to break through the power-absorbing array. However, attacks with different attributes can easily destroy it.

Casually released a wind blade, and the formation in front of him was immediately smashed to pieces. It had already completed its task, but Xu was left, screaming at Xiu Yi.

It is very dissatisfied, why is Laozi the test object every time?

Picking up the jade ring again, Xiu Yi's heart was filled with fiery brilliance.

He knew that this sealed jade ring must have an extremely close connection with Electra, and it was likely that Ablit found it from Electra's laboratory at the beginning, but this guy cunningly did not report this treasure.

No wonder he dared to kill himself at the beginning, I'm afraid he was also very worried that he would expose this matter.

But Ablit obviously didn't try to break the seal of this jade ring.

Perhaps it was because he knew that the consequences of breaking the seal would be extremely dire?

Even if the power of this jade ring is sealed, it will affect one's soul power, once it is opened, what will be the result?

Should I open the seal?

Looking at the jade ring in front of her, Xiu Yi thought over and over again.

There is no doubt that this will be the most risky decision he has ever made. The fanatical worship of Electra's knowledge, the pursuit of power, and the imperial pursuers who stalked him like tarsus maggots finally forced him to make a decision.

"Xu, stay away from me. If you find that there is something wrong with me, use the energy gun to break the connection between me and this jade ring. Remember, no matter what, don't get close to me." Xiu Yi commanded in a deep voice.

"Woo..." Xu responded.

Perhaps he sensed the prudence in Xiu Yi's heart, and he also knew that Xiu Yi was risking his life this time.

As if he was looking at his enemy, Xiu Yi's eyes showed a burning aura, and his hand lightly slid across the surface of the Soul Devouring Ring.

A subtle energy fluctuation blew across the jade ring like a breeze.

The power of the wind element contained in the gentle wind.

The notches on the surface of the jade ring suddenly emitted a strong light at the same moment, and a transparent circle of light floated around the ring. At the same time as the circle of light soared outwards, a huge wave of soul energy rushed in like a sea wave, instantly submerging Xiuyi...

The blue wind was blowing slowly, and the clouds were light and faint.

On the wilderness in the valley, Xiu Yi was alone.

In front of him, a jade ring floated in the air.

The bandits didn't know what happened, they only knew that just now, the Blazing Bird suddenly threatened them and drove them away from the practice field. Then the light of energy shot up into the sky in the wilderness, and the huge energy made the bandits feel as if someone had stepped on their hearts. Immediately afterwards, everyone felt an indescribably uncomfortable feeling at the same time.

That is the feeling that the soul is being drawn, as if the soul is about to come out of the body.

Fortunately, this energy ** came and went quickly, and disappeared in an instant.

"What happened just now? Why do I feel as if someone is calling me?" Lei Lei rubbed his head in confusion.

"That's right, head, I feel it too, it's so strange, it's as if some power wants to separate my consciousness from my body." Another bandit replied.

"I feel as if something is going to get into my head."

Bandits have different opinions, but everyone's feelings are different.

An older bandit said hesitantly: "I heard that there is a kind of * technique, which is very similar to this situation."

"What surgery?"

The bandit hesitated for a moment before saying a single word: "Soul * Art."

Soul surgery?

The name scares almost everyone.

As soon as the old bandit said this, Lei Lei's face turned pale green: "Are you joking? You mean that we experienced the attack of the soul * technique just now?"

"It's impossible. The soul spell may not be the most powerful spell in the world, but it must be the scariest spell. I don't think many of us have enough willpower to resist the temptation of soul energy." A bandit said this.

"That's probably because it's not coming for us." The old bandit said suddenly.

All the bandits looked into the distance at the same time.

There, Huey stood quietly alone.

Soul attacks are never gorgeous, even the most ferocious soul storms can only produce effects inside the body and mind.

When that wave of soul energy swept over Xiu Yi like a storm, the magic power of the scroll seemed to create an energy black hole between the heaven and the earth, pulling Xiu Yi into it.

Surrounded by a stern white light, there is no trace of the scene outside, and the whole person seems to be in the void.

Life seemed to be floating between sobriety and dizziness, and Xiu Yi didn't know where she was.

It's like a waking dream, where you know you're in a dream, but there's no way out.

Around Xiu Yi, countless light gates suddenly appeared.

Xiu Yi looked carefully, and saw an image flickering on each light door.

Xiu Yi looked towards the light gate on the left, and on the screen there, he was working hard on the island, carefully pruning a magic plant.

He looked to the right, where the little princess's laughter sounded like the sound of a bell.

In front of him, Daisy and Lanti were looking at him affectionately.

He looked behind him at the killing at the Lanya Grand Theater, walking in the blood-stained mud like a **** of hell...

There are countless doors of light, and each door describes an incident, which is exactly what I have experienced, including beauty, killing, conspiracy, and framing.

The hesitation and helplessness when I first came to the island, the first time I was recognized when I worked hard, and then the release of the blazing bird, the arrival of the little princess, the love affair between Neil and Pierre, the dialogue between himself and the dragon Rita, and finally the destruction of Purgatory Island, the death of Ablit...

All events and scenes flickered and danced among the various light gates.

It's like replaying old movies, bringing people back to the old time and space.

It is also as if a person saw different fragments in the river of time at the same time.

"What is this place?" Xiu Yi asked in shock.

"This is the labyrinth of the soul." A delicate voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Xiu Yi abruptly turned around.

I saw a golden boy standing behind me.

He looks exactly like himself, but his size is much smaller.

"Who are you……"

"You know who I am, don't you?" The boy looked at each other with a smile.

With a slight movement of the boy's hand, a door of light not far away suddenly moved over.

Xiuyi looked towards the light door, and he saw that in a dilapidated house, a fat woman with a vague image was beating a thin boy desperately. The boy hid in a corner, crying silently...

With a light wave of his hand, Guangmen retreated backwards.

Xiu Yi looked at the boy: "I thought you didn't exist anymore."

"It is true that I no longer exist. The me now is just a comprehensive projection of the Soul Devouring Ring and the memory in your heart." The boy replied softly.

"Then why am I here?"

"The Devouring Ring will bring every lost soul here."

"I'm never lost," Huey replied.

"Are you sure?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the boy's eyes: "Are you sure you've never been lost?"

Xiu Yi was slightly taken aback.

The boy pointed to the countless light doors around him that shone with the light and shadow that Xiuyi had experienced: "Every door here represents your past experience. It represents your past actions and reflects the hesitation deep in your heart. The labyrinth of the soul is the true reflection of your inner image, and its exit lies in the goal you really pursue deep in your heart. If you are not confused, then your pursuit should be consistent with what you really desire."

"You mean that there are different pursuits hidden in these countless doors, and only the door that truly represents the desire in my heart can let me out of this maze?"

"Yes. All painful and beautiful memories have their meanings. There are ordinary life, high power desires, longing for beautiful love, and the pleasure of revenge. Are you sure which one you desire most? Remember, when you choose a door, you have no room to turn back. You have to face the truest feelings in your heart. Only in this way can you get out of the labyrinth of the soul.

"What if I can't get out?"

"Then you will be a permanent nightmare."

The boy's memory gradually disappeared.

Xiu Yi found herself standing alone in this space again.

In his surroundings, all the things he had experienced were repeated repeatedly. He saw himself walking on the dilapidated ruins of Purgatory Island, and felt the incomparable joy in his heart when the revenge was successful; he saw himself working hard to study the flesh and blood puppets, and worked hard for the survival of those young servants; he saw the pride in his heart when he killed Ablit, and the satisfaction of gaining great power; Sweet; he saw the hearty feeling when he and Daisy Lanti hugged left and right when they were madly in love...

He saw many, many pasts.

All of a sudden, he found that he was not as he imagined.

The past here represents almost all the pursuits of a normal man, whether it is the pleasure of revenge, the satisfaction of counterattack, the sweetness of love, the ordinary reality, the life of lust or the pinnacle of power...

What should he choose?

What is his heart really longing for?

The little princess's laughter still rings in my ears, she is eager for Electra's knowledge, the flames of Purgatory Island are burning into the sky, and Lan Ya's blood smears the picture.

The trembling soul began to be overwhelmed, and all the memories rushed to his brain like a flood, almost overwhelming his thinking. Noisy voices echo desperately, sweet, crazy, ferocious, vicious, like gongs and drums; dazzling images densely cover the field of vision, and countless images of human heads overlap.

"Ah!" Xiu Yi cried out in pain holding her head.

He squatted down, panting heavily. The door of light kept shining in front of his eyes, and the movement of the picture was getting faster and faster. He gradually couldn't see clearly, couldn't hear clearly, as if he was going to be completely lost in this labyrinth of the soul...

Ever since Xiu Yiglaer opened the seal of the jade ring, the little guy Xu has been staring at Xiu Yi nervously.

It was very curious why Xiu Yi remained motionless after the seal was released.

He just stood there quietly.

"Woo..." the little guy called out, looking very confused.

Since there is no danger of what Shengxiuyi said, should he use the energy gun to isolate the jade ring as he ordered?

This complicated question made it difficult for the little guy to make a decision.

It looked up at the sky.

The two blazing birds are still faithfully maintaining order and not allowing any bandits to approach.

Two silly birds. it wants to.

Then it walked cautiously towards Huey.

It didn't look like it was in any danger.

It tried to touch Huey, but nothing happened.

After thinking about it, it reached for the jade ring floating in the air with its claws.

The tip of the claw touched the jade ring, and a chill pierced through the bones.

The vacated Yuhuan once again released a wave of powerful soul energy that suddenly swept towards the little guy.

"Woo..." Xu's hair stood on end.

The next moment, it found itself in an empty space.

The surrounding area was empty, but he didn't step on any solid ground.

where is this place?

"Wow woof!" it yelled, "Wow woof woof!"

No one answered it.

Countless light gates swirled around it, and Xu was surprised to find that it had seen its own past.

Dormant in the body of Hugh Igles; being taken out by the mother and gaining freedom; enjoying maternal love freely in Rita's arms; and enjoying his care in the arms of Hugh Igles; helpless when he was forced to practice the devil;

Scenes and scenes reappeared at this moment.

This made him extremely curious.

What makes it excited is that among those light gates, there is actually a light gate shining with its favorite monster.

After the skinned and boned Warcraft is added with human spices, the taste is extremely exquisite. It clearly remembered that it was a delicacy that Xiuyi had put in so much effort to make for it in order to reward it for successfully mastering the Vacuum Blade a few days ago.

"Woo! Wow!" the little guy yelled.

It rushed towards the light door recklessly, and then jumped into the door without hesitation.

In the wilderness, Xiu Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the little guy Xu Zheng looking at him with a confused face, he couldn't help laughing.

He hugged Xu up: "My God, do you know what you did just now?"

Xu was confused.

Xiu Yi smiled and said: "I must admit that you are the happiest monster in the world, and all adventures always belong to you."

"Woo... woof!"

"Okay, I don't think you understand yet, but you did succeed, and you saved me once." Xiuyi smiled.

Even though he had prepared in advance, Xiu Yi still did not expect that the Soul Devouring Ring could pull a person's soul into an independent space, forming a labyrinth of the soul by refracting the images of one's own memory.

This kind of powerful and weird *spell does not exist in the human soul *spell. Once it is pulled into the soul maze by the ring of devouring, unless it has enough power to break through the barrier of the soul maze, there is only one way to get out of the maze, which is to rely on instinct to do things like Xu did.

For most low-intelligence life forms, this choice is not difficult, they just need to act according to instinct. Therefore, the ring of devouring spirits is ineffective against most monsters. But for human beings with complicated desires and confusing emotions, it is like a real killer, with just a little bit of confusion, it will be swallowed by the soul maze, and finally transformed into soul energy. When the ring of devouring spirits has collected enough soul energy, it will generate a nightmare spirit seed that is similar to an elemental spirit, but much stronger than it. It is also the only summoning spell among soul spells.

What is amazing is that although Warcraft can ignore the effect of the Soul Devouring Ring, they also cannot * use the Soul Devouring Ring. Because the soul of the monster is not enough to cause the energy fluctuation of the Devouring Ring.

But Xu is an exception.

It has the ability to learn human demons, and it keeps in touch with Xiu Yi at all times, and its wisdom is actually infinitely close to that of human beings. But at the same time, it is just a child, the enlightenment of wisdom has not yet been fully opened, and most of the time it is still as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

For countless adults, the world of the maze of souls, which is like a terrifying hell, is a simple multiple-choice question for Xu.

If I want to eat, I will go. It's that simple.

It has the intelligence and creativity of human beings, but it does not have the complex desires of human beings, nor the feelings that are difficult to let go. Its thinking is simple and straightforward.

In contrast, as a human being with the highest intelligence, the more intelligent a person is, the more they think, the more they will find that they have more desires. When he is really faced with a choice, what he cares about is not what he gets, but what he loses.

Xiu Yi also fell into this problem when making a choice.

He didn't know whether what he was really pursuing was the thrill of revenge, or the ordinary life, whether it was endless knowledge, or tyrannical power, or whether it was sweet love or wild joy.

Choosing any one means giving up all others.

As a result, the confusion of the soul arose, and for the first time Xiuyi began to doubt what he was after.

This is the horror of the soul labyrinth, it will not simply wait for you to choose. The deeper your confusion, the greater its pressure, creating a vicious circle until it destroys you.

As a result, Xiu Yi was almost lost in the maze of souls.

However, Xu's appearance brought him a turning point. It was at that time that Xiu Yi found that the pressure in the Soul Labyrinth suddenly dropped, and he had another chance to choose...

Only those who have passed the test of the soul labyrinth are eligible to use the Soul Devouring Ring. Therefore, Xu would become the master of the Soul Devouring Ring, but no one could have imagined it. Fortunately, Xiu Yi also passed the test of the Soul Devouring Ring, and is also qualified to use the Soul Devouring Ring, but he found helplessly that he was one level lower than Xu in terms of usage authority, that is to say, he could only use this terrifying weapon with Xu's permission.

This made Xiu Yi dumbfounded, that's why Xu was said to be the happiest monster in the world.

At this moment, Xiu Yi made a casual move, and the jade ring suspended in the air flew into its hands.

The ring of devouring spirits swirls in Xiuyi's hand, shining with a faint brilliance of magic, and the bracelet that has exhausted all the energy of the soul has lost the ferocious arrogance when the seal was broken just now.

No one can tell exactly how the Soul Devouring Ring is made. Alchemists will never be able to make such a powerful and terrifying weapon. If anyone can make it, it may only be a god.

Xiu Yi doesn't know whether there are gods or not in this world, but at least he knows that the Soul Devouring Ring in front of him is equivalent to the artifact of a soul healer.

It's just that using this kind of magic weapon once consumes too much soul energy. At this moment, the Soul Devouring Ring used the Soul Labyrinth twice in a row, almost exhausting all the energy of the soul, and needed its owner to recharge it.

Xiu Yi tried it, and found that with her ability as a second-level soul healer, it would take at least ten days to meet the requirement of using it once to fully charge the spirit-devouring ring.

Slowly putting the Soul Devouring Ring on his wrist, he said:

"Do you know? Xu, you are much happier than me. At least for now, your pursuit is still beautiful, and you are not affected or deceived by foreign objects."

"Woo." The little guy shook his head and didn't care.

Under the wilderness with long white clouds, Xiuiglaer, who walked out of the maze of soul, showed incomparable firmness in his eyes, even with a hint of cunning cruelty.
