Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

During the attack on Chenyang City, Chu Yuan had also refined a strange object.

But nothing special was discovered that time... perhaps because those strange entities were too low-level and had not yet developed intelligence;

It's also possible that he was too low-level at the time to notice...

A feeling that's hard to describe arose, as if... one's life level was being completed?

This is a good thing, but it's not right;

From the moment a cultivator steps into the Foundation Establishment stage, they cultivate both their inner and outer selves, with their soul and body nourishing each other. They shouldn't have any defects in the first place!

But now was not the time to investigate the cause, so he calmed down and focused all his efforts on refining the strange entity.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

I am a warrior from the First Legion, ordered to carry out a mission here..."

A martial artist suddenly leaped into the air, shouting loudly;

A blood-red chain clung to his head, making him look like a marionette; meaning that in the blink of an eye, his body rapidly withered away...

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly manipulated the Blood Sea Soul Locking Array and looked at Yuan Yang.

Accidentally injuring friendly forces? This is unacceptable!

Yuan Yang said in a low voice, "That is indeed possible. The Soul Soldier Realm is a mixed bag, so it wouldn't be surprising if we planted spies here..."

He Han asked, "How can you prove your identity?"

Although the fifth-realm martial artist was extremely weak, he still managed to curse with all his might: "You son of a bitch... when you go on an infiltration mission, do you bring anything to prove your identity?"

"..."

Chu Yuan quickly made a decision in his heart;

Now is indeed not the time to verify identities, but there are not many humans in the city of withered eyes to begin with.

Whether it's a traitor or one of his own on a mission... he simply won't refine it; the rest is none of his business.

As the great formation activated, the humans whose life essence had been extracted suddenly discovered that the blood-red chains were actually nourishing them.

Immediately, a sound imbued with energy spread throughout the city;

"All humans, leave Withered Eye City immediately!"

......

"If we're talking about delicious food, the souls of the Dark Spirit Clan are the best in the world!"

"I disagree. The souls of humans are the most palatable..."

"On the contrary, the human soul is too mediocre. Although it is delicious, it is always lacking in flavor."

"That's not actually the case..."

"Doesn't anyone find the souls of the Nightmare Insects... quite chewy?"

"..."

Inside the eerie stone hall, a group of strange figures were conversing amongst themselves.

They were bizarrely shaped, but they all exuded a terrifying aura, as if staring at them for too long would plunge one into a horrifying hallucination...

"Mengyue, why aren't you saying anything?"

A wisp of silvery-gray mist trembled, and a slightly impatient voice came through: "A subordinate has reported that there is trouble in Kuyan City."

"...What level?"

"Several humans at the sixth realm."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"Mengyue, you're getting more and more timid. A few humans at the sixth realm, all you're doing is giving us an extra meal?"

Or are you trying to steal food from the younger ones?

A few playful words rang out, and the wisp of silvery-gray mist contracted a few times before falling silent;

Those familiar with the eerie atmosphere know that Mengyue is a little angry...

But there's nothing we can do about it. Today is the day for offering sacrifices. All the spiritual energy accumulated in the cities, as well as the souls collected, must be handed over to the master.

Even if something incredibly important happens, I can't leave now...

Mengyue waited patiently until a chilling sound rang out;

The scene inside the stone hall changed, and the view suddenly opened up!

It was as if an ancient battlefield had descended, the air thick with the smell of blood and fire...

These strange occurrences were nothing new to them, and they all fell silent.

A sound of metal clashing rang out, and then a figure clad in rusted heavy armor stepped down from the void and sat on the throne.

"Let's begin."

His voice was like countless weapons clashing, resounding together;

A bloodlust arose in the hearts of many strange beings... Even though they each had their own strengths in mental techniques, they seemed to have no ability to stop this master of the Soul of the Warrior Realm!

"My lord, the total yield of Yin Xuan Crystals this time is..."

"My lord! These are the souls produced by the City of Dry Eyes in this cycle, as well as the spiritual energy collected!" The wisp of mist drifted forward, cutting off the strange man's report.

The mist surged and condensed into a pair of arms, supporting two crystals.

"Mengyue...you've lost your manners." The sound of clashing weapons rang out, but the tone seemed unchanged.

"My lord! There is trouble caused by the Six Realms Human Race in Dry Eye City;"

My subordinates have already asked me for help... I need to return immediately.

"Then go."

Mengyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the mist immediately surged away.

The adults were very intimidating, but they were always quite understanding of them, which was the source of Mengyue's confidence to do this.

......

Traveling swiftly, it was as if dark clouds were covering the sky;

Even from a distance, Mengyue sensed an aura in the area where Kuyan City was located that made him feel somewhat afraid!

What's going on?

It's not that they're causing trouble, it's just a few sixth-realm humans.

The silvery mist dispersed and gradually merged into the sky and earth;

The hazy moon drew closer, and a blood-red sky came into his view.

Upon realizing the situation in Kuyan City, he almost laughed in anger, becoming utterly furious!

One by one, the strange creatures and natives were refined. As the blood-red chains surged, the purest life essence and soul essence absorbed were infused into the bodies of several people suspended in mid-air.

Their aura was rapidly intensifying, while life in the city was disappearing in droves...

These humans...are they having a buffet here?!

The bizarre annihilation of all living beings in the City of Withered Eyes would lead to his punishment by the adults, but that's a minor matter.

More importantly, where will his food come from in the future?

But the crimson array made him wary, and he dared not enter...

Mengyue finally noticed Chu Yuan in the formation, a figure that seemed no different from other humans, yet exuded a fatal attraction to him!

Every wisp of mist that made up his body was boiling, trembling, urging him to devour that human!

Mengyue has a strong intuition;

If he can devour this human, the gates of the Eight Realms will open for him!

Recalling the time he spent waiting in the main hall, listening to his fellow clansmen discuss which clan's souls were the most delicious, Mengyue felt he had found the answer...

In a very short time, he completely forgot about the City of Withered Eyes...

........

"Chu Yuan, I can't eat anymore..."

"Hmm." Chu Yuan nodded, and Blood Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills fell into his hand like raindrops;

Everyone in the arena was filled with the boundless life force, their faces flushed, feeling an energy that had nowhere to go... Even Jiang Fei and Miao Xiuxiu benefited from it.

"Should we go now?" Yuan Yang asked.

Chu Yuan glanced outside the formation and saw a wisp of silver-gray mist slowly drifting by.

He sighed inwardly; too much time had been wasted...

"You all go first. I've had some insights that I need to cultivate immediately!"

Yuan Yang exclaimed in astonishment, "Now!? Are you crazy?"
