Chapter 1056: Ancient Serpentwoman
The two beauties had long hair flowing like a waterfall, with perfectly oval faces.
Their facial features were deep and captivating, with especially enchanting eyes.
Their tightly closed eyes had long lashes, like extended false eyelashes.
One was wearing a robe with a main color of sapphire blue, while the other wore a pale pink garment.
The style was somewhat different from ancient times, evoking a sense of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
Their waists were slender, standing in the center.
Like two pieces of art, compelling one to take a second glance.
That glance was enough; as soon as I looked, I felt as if my heart was pierced by a sharp weapon.
Instantly unable to withstand the intense pain, I clutched my heart, sweating profusely, and fell to my knees.
The pain came without reason and continued to intensify.
Beside me, Qing Li experienced the same situation and fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
She had fought with the Demonic Cave before and had her power absorbed.
Her body was much weaker than mine; after experiencing the same heart-wrenching pain,
her whole body began to convulse, her face turning bloodless, her skin starting to shrivel, "Wanwan... these two corpses have issues... it seems they have the ability to absorb... our Spiritual Power..."
"No! That’s not right! Our Spiritual Power is sealed, it’s impossible that they’re absorbing our Spiritual Power." I had a feeling, an eerie connection between their forms and appearances with Qing Li and me, suddenly I realized, "I understand now; are they absorbing our souls? It seems... they’re using our souls to repair their incomplete souls after death!"
"I’m really unlucky, just had my power absorbed by the Demonic Cave, and now I’m going to have my soul absorbed." Qing Li, experienced as she was, realized what we were facing after my reminder.
Her resistance was weaker than mine, almost instantly thinning to skin and bones.
One of the two corpses, the one more similar to Qing Li, with originally shriveled skin,
started to fill out, appearing more like the skin of the living.
The blocked blood vessels seemed to have fresh blood flowing through them.
The female corpse absorbing my soul showed little change in appearance due to absorbing less.
I recalled last night’s conversation with Qing Li, that without a soul, the body is but biological waste.
But these two ancient corpses had some differences from the theory we discussed last night.
Our souls being absorbed by the ancient corpses wasn’t about them possessing us.
Their consumption of our souls wasn’t to make us take possession.
It felt more like they needed to consume living souls to restore themselves to awaken from the cycle of reincarnation, after experiencing millennia of incomplete souls.
Understanding this, my Primordial Spirit sank into the Sea of Consciousness.
In an instant, it transformed into a sharp intent, piercing the membrane sealing the Spiritual Power in the Sea of Consciousness.
Immediately, the Spiritual Power in the Sea of Consciousness surged out like a river, though this sudden release couldn’t last long.
In a fleeting moment, the invisible restriction might once again seal the Qi Sea.
Without any hesitation, I recalled the memory of materializing Spiritual Power and turned the explosive energy into an indestructible blade.
With the remaining strength in my body, I lunged at the corpse absorbing Qing Li’s soul.
The dagger in my hand stabbed fiercely into the corpse’s heart, piercing it completely, "No matter who you are, with your heart shattered, you won’t survive."
Upon piercing the woman’s heart, her eyes suddenly opened, filled with hatred.
She opened her mouth, full of fangs, to bite me.
Yet I didn’t dodge, fearless as I withdrew the dagger and stabbed it into the woman’s core, "Die!"
