Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1404 - 144: Elf Domain

The pearl revealed an incredibly human-like energy aura, as if it possessed a unique magical allure that made people unable to resist looking at it again and again.

And after looking at it, a kind of unimaginable bloodthirsty emotion would arise.

This kind of pearl is extremely evil, but it possesses tremendous benefits for the soul body.

Zhou Yan realized at a glance that this was the Soul-devouring Pearl, which could devour unique soul body energy and the power of Eternal Spirits, refining them into Origin Power.

This ability is equivalent to having an extra means of devouring.

And the means of devouring was almost a unique technique of the Thunderflame Emperor, a way to convert evil or various other attribute energies into Origin Energy using the power of Heavenly Punishment Thunder.

Although many Kings can achieve this, the effect is completely incomparable to that of the Heavenly Punishment Master’s ability.

Like Zhou Yan, when a wisp of energy from Loh Jixu was refined, his Realm could advance several times over.

Whereas the Mantis Woman, after refining a living Eternal Life Being, barely showed any significant advancement in her Realm.

This is the difference.

And this Soul-devouring Pearl is equivalent to possessing the Sovereign Power of Emperor Lei Yan, what a heaven-defying treasure this is.

No wonder such a treasure drives people mad and leads to plotting and fighting.

When Zhou Yan saw the Soul-devouring Pearl, he also felt a burning desire in his heart.

Yet, Zhou Yan ultimately did not act rashly, immediately taking action.

Zhou Yan saw the woman reaching for the pearl, and his mind stirred. He immediately used the Three Pure Ones Technique within the bubble and infused a wisp of Original Qi from Loh Jixu’s Eternal Spirit into the Three Pure Ones Avatar’s Eternal Spirit.

Then, Zhou Yan’s figure moved, tearing through a soul body with the Soul Cutting Skill and combining with the Eternal Spirit before suddenly charging out.

As he went out, Zhou Yan released the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, suppressing the woman all at once.

Zhou Yan’s actions were highly unexpected, yet also intentional.

This was merely the first step in the plan, a feigned attack.

Sure enough, the woman appeared to be caught off guard, suddenly hit by the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, causing her to freeze momentarily.

Then, Zhou Yan managed to snatch the Soul-devouring Pearl in one swift move.

However, at the moment Zhou Yan grabbed the Soul-devouring Pearl, before he could even rejoice, the Eternal Spirit was instantly absorbed by the Soul-devouring Pearl.

In that moment, the woman, completely freed from the suppression of the Heaven Breaking Sword Formation, easily broke away and devoured the Eternal Spirit derived from Zhou Yan’s Three Pure Ones.

"Pfft—"

This Eternal Spirit, after all, was of low Realm, at only the second tier of six-fold life, and was devoured by the woman in an instant.

Subsequently, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, casually destroying the soul body that Zhou Yan had created with a Soul Slash.

Then, the woman took the floating Soul-devouring Pearl in her hand, speaking contentedly, "I knew, this Soul-devouring Pearl’s first move would surely devour a soul. Luckily, there was indeed a being watching, or else I would have taken a great risk. But when did beings of the second tier of six-fold life have the ability to seize this treasure?"

"I suppose it possessed a special Concealing Technique, thus happening to pass by here, or perhaps, a pawn secretly deployed by Feng Li and Guang Shu—regardless, this effort of decades has finally come to fruition."

"With this Soul-devouring Pearl, reaching the peak of Cultivation and becoming a King is no longer a problem."

The woman spoke, a hint of fatigue appearing on her face.

After taking the pearl, she immediately exhibited the mantis’s intrinsic traits, unleashing a unique mist that billowed around her, then began to conceal herself within the mist, cautiously making her way out of the sand tower.

The sand tower itself holds certain risks, otherwise, why would such complex Emperor Patterns and rules exist?

Taking the Soul-devouring Pearl from here would naturally cause the sand tower to collapse, unleashing a storm of destruction.

By then, the Bone-Burying Desert would truly face an ultimate sandstorm, capable of annihilating immensely powerful beings.

Such conditions must not occur, so those Array Patterns and Secret Techniques were meticulously and stably managed by One Autumn.

However, as she quietly left, she unexpectedly discovered a slight instability in one of the Array Patterns.

One Autumn frowned, emerging from her concealment, then approached the unstable fluctuations.

Just as she neared the unstable Array Pattern, a section of Array Patterns lit up simultaneously, forming a very complex enclosing force.

The encasing energy directly trapped her within.

Before One Autumn could conceal herself again and trigger a lethal move, yet another unique Sword Array sealed in.

One Autumn’s heart sank; the unique Sword Array was so familiar that her heart turned cold halfway.

Those who come with goodwill do not arrive, those who arrive do not come with goodwill.

The weak one of the second tier of life seemed to die too easily earlier.

The opponent’s Realm might be low, but daring to seize a treasure, how could they not have some trump card?

Realizing this, One Autumn’s heart instantly became uneasy. She immediately understood she had underestimated the enemy.

Yet at this critical moment, One Autumn dared not ponder more, instantly unleashing all the energy of her Eternal Spirit, erupting all her Potential, aiming to break free from this dreadful Sealing in an instant.
