Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Chapter 16: Strange Space, Unintelligent Soul

Xiao Fan carefully probed his soul power, even though it was already suppressed to some extent within this strange Netherworld Ancient Battlefield.

However, it is not impossible to detect.

However, Xiao Fan's soul power, carefully sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space, did not discover anything strange.

The faint resentment permeating the air seemed to have suddenly emerged from the void.

It has no source and is very strange.

However, Xiao Fan once possessed the power of a Dou Di expert, so although the power he can exert now is limited, his soul realm has already undergone a qualitative change.

Despite his own perception, he still discovered something peculiar about this ancient battlefield of the underworld.

"These resentments..."

A faint trace of resentment appeared out of thin air in Xiao Fan's perception, but it only lingered in the void for a moment before mysteriously disappearing from Xiao Fan's perception.

"laugh!"

Xiao Fan's fighting spirit surged, and in an instant, he appeared at the spot where the wisp of resentment had dissipated.

As you reach out and glide across, it's as if the world is the sharpest knife in the world, easily cleaving through space, and a pitch-black rift suddenly appears.

"No?"

Xiao Fan sensed the usual tranquility in the void, and a strange fire flashed in his eyes.

"call out!"

The next moment, Xiao Fan's fingertips swept across the space in front of him, and the space in front of him slowly fell down like a torn scroll.

Xiao Fan stepped into the void, but the void remained as lifeless as ever.

Xiao Fan closed his eyes and focused all his energy on sensing the battle qi within his body. Soon, he noticed that the Chaos Fire within him was pulsating slightly, as if it had sensed something.

Xiao Fan's eyes gleamed, and dark chaotic fire appeared on his fingers, burning silently in the void.

This time, Xiao Fan immediately sensed an unusual energy in the void by taking advantage of the characteristics of the Chaos Fire.

"This is........."

As Xiao Fan brought the Chaos Fire closer to the void, he immediately discovered that someone had tampered with the void in front of him.

As the Chaos Fire burned, the dark curtain of space in front of Xiao Fan gradually rippled, revealing that the space he was in had already been tampered with.

As the chaotic fire burned, ripples like ocean waves spread across the void before them.

Xiao Fan immediately realized what was obscuring the void in front of him.

"Void Devouring Flames..."

Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed.

Yes!

With Void Devouring Flame's terrifying strength, being a nine-star Dou Sheng, and its fire-related properties, it was able to deceive me.

Xiao Fan immediately understood that this Netherworld Ancient Battlefield was definitely not, as rumored among the Soul Clan, a place opened by the Soul Emperor for his disciples to undergo trials.

This must involve some kind of scheme by the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame.

The fleeting hint of resentment I felt just now must have originated from this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan frowned slightly.

After only a slight hesitation, Xiao Fan made up his mind to go inside and find out what was going on.

"Shh!"

Taking advantage of the ripples caused by the Void Devouring Flame, Xiao Fan directly passed through the strange space isolated by the Void Devouring Flame.

As soon as he stepped inside, Xiao Fan's expression changed drastically.

The surrounding space was thick with resentment, despair, rage, and madness...

All sorts of negative auras instantly enveloped Xiao Fan.

This sudden change surprised Xiao Fan for a moment, but it didn't throw him into a panic.

A faint energy enveloped Xiao Fan's body, isolating him from the intrusion of negative energy from the outside.

However, Xiao Fan soon discovered that even the protective barrier formed by his battle aura on his body seemed to be gradually weakening under the influence of these negative emotions.

This made Xiao Fan start to take everything in front of him seriously.

To realize that even with his peak Dou Zun cultivation, he couldn't completely suppress these negative emotions, Xiao Fan began to understand that the pervasive negativity before him was something extraordinary...

Xiao Fan shifted his gaze from the negative emotions that had gradually solidified in front of him and looked around, only to discover that complex runes were inscribed everywhere in this space.

The aura contained within these runes exuded a rich spatial power, firmly sealing off the entire space. If I hadn't used the Chaos Fire to restrain the Void Devouring Flame earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach this strange space.

"So... I hate it..."

Just then, a faint, weak voice reached Xiao Fan's ears.

He hadn't expected that there seemed to be living people inside this space.

With a thought, Xiao Fan carefully probed the direction from which the sound came within the space where the resentment had almost turned into solid fog.

Within this space, due to the dense resentment and the suppression of the Void Devouring Flame Array, even the soul power that Xiao Fan is currently mobilizing can only probe a very limited range, only a few hundred meters.

The ground was covered with skeletons, and the ground had long since turned dark red. Every now and then, wisps of resentment would rise from the ground and drift into the air.

Xiao Fan avoided the skeletons on the ground and carefully walked forward. As he got closer, the murmurs he heard grew louder.

"So... I hate it..."

"die.........."

Soon, in Xiao Fan's perception, a somewhat ethereal soul appeared in his sight. However, a chain pierced through the soul's body, and the other end went through a cliff face in front of him and entered the mountain wall.

From time to time, this illusory soul body emitted a dark red energy, exuding negative auras such as tyranny, despair, and madness, which merged into the cliff wall along with the chains on its body.

"Roar!"

Before Xiao Fan even got close, the illusory soul power seemed to go mad, roaring incessantly in place, while the chains embedded in his body behind him tightened with each movement.

"collapse!"

The illusory soul roared and howled in place, its body expanding at a visible speed until it was three zhang in size. However, it still could not break free from the chain behind it, and wisps of black and red resentment were drawn out of its soul and carried along the chain to an unknown place.

"Such a bizarre power..."

Even though he wasn't directly targeted, Xiao Fan still sensed the terrifying resentment within this soul's body.

Is all the resentment in the air really like this?

Who exactly is this soul entity?

"Roar... Soul... Clan..."

Seemingly because of the roar emanating from the illusory soul in front of them, a howl filled with destructive resentment also rang out not far away, and soon, it filled the entire space.

One after another, faint roars rose and fell, leaving Xiao Fan stunned in place.

Even at the end of the chains, inside the mountain rocks, underground—it seemed that roars could be heard from every place.

Chapter 17 Weird Resentment

Apart from these illusory souls, no other living beings were found around. Xiao Fan searched carefully around and found nothing except for the piled bones on the ground and the claw marks that were stained with mottled blood.

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Fan's gaze remained fixed on the soul entity in front of him.

Although the other party seemed to have completely fallen into madness, at least this was the only source of Xiao Fan's opportunity to understand this place.

The chains were embedded in that soul, tightening with his madness.

After careful probing, Xiao Fan gradually approached the already swollen soul entity.

Xiao Fan was completely enveloped in black flames, isolating himself from the negative energy in the air, as he stood before this soul entity.

The three-zhang-tall soul entity made Xiao Fan's body appear so small in comparison.

"Roar!"

Sensing the presence of a living being before it, the soul seemed to have found an outlet, its crimson gaze falling upon Xiao Fan.

The resentment and violent aura emanating from him grew increasingly intense.

More black and red energy dissipated from his body and disappeared along the chains.

"Ah... Roar..."

A piercing roar rang out, and the opponent's arm slammed straight down towards Xiao Fan's location.

"Don't you have any desire to communicate at all?"

Xiao Fan frowned, sensing the other party's movements. He stretched out his finger, and a barrier of battle qi formed in front of the soul entity.

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The illusory soul stared intently at Xiao Fan's body, its fist slamming heavily against the barrier in front of it, roaring continuously as streams of energy washed over the barrier Xiao Fan had created.

"Get down on your knees!"
