Chapter 435 Soul Worm
call.
The Lord of the Golden Horn took a step forward and came before the old beast god, bowed and said, "Golden Horn greets the ancestor."
The old beast god nodded, not at all embarrassed that the Lord of the Golden Horn saw his incarnation being defeated by the incarnation of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, and asked softly: "You are not in the floating city, why did you suddenly come to me?"
"Something happened to Xuanmie of my lineage. I can't decipher the secret technique attached to his soul." The Lord of the Golden Horn waved his hand, and the stiff Xuanmie Overlord appeared in the starry sky.
Destroy the overlord?
Xu Yang on the side raised his eyebrows slightly. In the original book, Xuanmie eventually became the master of the universe of the golden-horned beast. Now it is too early and he is still just a small overlord.
“Oh?” The old Beast God took a step forward and placed his fingers on the forearm of the Xuanmie Overlord.
Then divine power surged from his body, but soon subsided. "It's very tricky. I'm not an expert in the soul. I'm afraid I have to ask Xu Zhen for help... No, Tianlang, you..."
As he said that, the old Beast God looked at Xu Yang. He almost forgot that the Heavenly Wolf Lord in front of him was also a master of the soul. It was said that he also possessed ancient heritage. Maybe he was much more powerful than the Xuzhen Demon God in the soul.
"Then let me take a look." Xu Yang did not refuse. He transformed into a flash and came in front of the Overlord Xuanmie.
He put his fingers together, channeled in divine power, and his thoughts also turned into eyes and drilled into Thanos' body.
Here~~~
A perfect and round soul barrier blocked Xu Yang's divine power. The thick divine power fibers could not find any gaps or holes in the soul barrier. It was like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to bite it.
"It's more sophisticated than the methods of the Xuzhen Demon God, so it shouldn't be from the original universe." Xu Yang judged in his heart that the Xuzhen Demon God was proficient in illusion and soul strangling, but he had not studied this kind of soul trapping and sealing technique. However, in the original book, since the Xuanmie Overlord was able to safely advance to the Lord of the Universe in the end, it was obvious that this dilemma was solved.
After much thought, among the existing True God masters, apart from the Xuzhen Demon God, only the Zerg Queen has the ability to decipher this secret technique.
"If I can even deal with them, it will be a piece of cake for me." Xu Yang's eyebrows flashed, and the world of refining heart descended.
The invisible and intangible world of refining the mind simply ignored this soul barrier as nothing, and penetrated directly into the soul of the Overlord of Xuanmie from a higher dimension.
Xu Yang's thoughts passed through the Great World of Refining Heart and he clearly saw the scene deep in the soul of the Overlord Xuanmie.
They were three fat worms, their bodies showing an illusory translucent state, and their surfaces were covered with fine wrinkles, as if layers of rotten pig skin jelly were piled up together. Their bodies were wriggling slightly, emitting an uncomfortable sticky feeling, as if some disgusting liquid would drip at any time.
The worm's head has no obvious facial features, only a round mouthpart with fine serrated fangs on the edge, which are deeply embedded in the soul of the Overlord. Their bodies swell slightly as they absorb the power of the soul. The blood vessel-like lines under the skin are clearly visible, and a turbid liquid emitting an eerie glow flows inside.
What made Xu Yang most uncomfortable was that the tails of these worms kept dancing outside the soul, as if they were looking for something in the air. Whenever they spewed out pale white mist, a sweet and greasy fragrance would fill the air. The fragrance was intoxicating and seemed to arouse the deepest desires in one's heart. However, this fragrance formed an extremely strong contrast with the disgusting appearance of the worms, which made Xu Yang feel an indescribable disgust.
The soul of Overlord Xuanmie had been sucked dry by the three worms. The originally full soul power became thin, and even extremely fine cracks appeared on the surface of the soul.
Maybe there won't be any big problems for a while, but if these worms are allowed to suck for dozens or hundreds of years, I'm afraid that Overlord Xuanmie's soul will be exhausted and shattered to death.
Xu Yang could feel the soul of the Xuanmie Overlord struggling in pain, but he was unable to break free from the shackles of these worms.
"These worms... are not ordinary soul parasites." Xu Yang frowned slightly. He could feel that these worms were not only absorbing the power of the soul, but also constantly releasing some strange energy, eroding the will of the Xuanmie Overlord. This energy complemented the pale white mist, forming an extremely complex soul seal.
Otherwise, with the will of the Overlord of Annihilation comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe, it is impossible for him to be suppressed so tightly by these powerless worms.
Yes, in Xu Yang's perception, the individual strength of these worms may not be able to defeat even the weakest Universe Lord, but the energy and mist they exhale can form a soul seal that can suppress and seal the Overlord, and can also form a soul barrier on the outermost layer that even the strongest in the universe dare not easily break into.
"It's a bit magical. Let's see if I can get it to cultivate in my Refining Heart Realm."
This was the first time that Xu Yang personally encountered a strange soul parasite. The ghosts and resentful spirits in his previous Refining Heart Realm were all templates engraved in the secret art of will by the second-level God King who created "Refining the Demonic Hundred Tribulations". Xu Yang only needed to reach the corresponding realm, and the Refining Heart Realm would be able to outline the corresponding template.
However, these three worms were not in the template. Although they were not as powerful as the templates in the secret technique, Xu Yang still decided to catch them and cultivate them.
"We must first cut off the connection between these worms and the external barrier." Xu Yang's mind moved, and the power of the Refining Heart Realm instantly condensed. Three strands of black magic flames shot out and turned into three invisible sharp blades, piercing the tails of the three worms.
"hiss--"
Just as the sharp blade was about to touch the worms, the three worms suddenly let out a sharp hissing sound instinctively, and the sound was full of pain and anger.
"What a keen perception!" Xu Yang exclaimed with joy.
Their bodies suddenly shrank, and their mouthparts suddenly pulled out from the soul of the Overlord of the Spin, bringing up pieces of soul fragments. Then, their tails danced wildly, spewing out more pale white mist as if it was free, trying to block the impending attack.
However, the power of the Heart Refining Realm that Xu Yang currently possesses far exceeds the resistance of these worms.
The invisible sharp blade was like a hot knife scraping through butter, easily cutting off the worm's connection with the external barrier. The pale white mist dissipated instantly, and cracks began to appear on the outer soul barrier.
The three worms were completely cut off from the outside world, and Xu Yang couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. With a thought, the power of the Refining Heart Realm surged again, and the black magic flames turned into an invisible giant net, quickly covering the three worms.
"Hush-hush-"
The worm seemed to sense the fatal threat and twisted its fat body frantically, trying to escape.
However, the huge gap in rank made all efforts in vain.
The invisible giant net shrank rapidly, trapping the three worms tightly inside.
"Collect!" Xu Yang shouted in a low voice, and the power of the Refining Heart Realm suddenly erupted. The giant net with the three worms instantly disappeared into the soul of the Overlord of Xuanmie and entered Xu Yang's Refining Heart Realm.
Within the great realm of refining the mind.
Xu Yang's thoughts turned into a shadow, floating in the chaotic void. He raised his hand and waved it, and the power of the Refining Heart Realm began to gather, and soon a new area was opened up at the edge of this illusory world.
In the swamp, black mud rolled, emitting a strong smell of decay. Bubbles appeared from the surface of the mud from time to time, making a "gurgling" sound when they burst. Some twisted plants grew on the edge of the swamp. Their branches and leaves showed a sickly gray-green color, as if they would wither and die at any time. "This place should be suitable for you to survive." Xu Yang's shadow floated above the swamp, looking down at the three worms trapped in the giant net, and said lightly.
The black mud is an extremely nourishing substance for the soul, and those twisted gray-green plants are food. After the worms swallow them, it can help them better adapt to the environment of the Heart Refining Realm, and at the same time stimulate their desire to reproduce.
With a thought, the huge net loosened and the three worms immediately fell into the swamp.
The mud instantly wrapped around their bodies, but they did not seem to resist. Instead, they began to slowly wriggle as if they had returned to a familiar environment.
"Goo-gee-gee-gee"
The worms hissed with joy, stretched their bodies in the mud, opened their mouths slightly, and greedily sucked in the black mud of the swamp. Their tails danced quickly, and the pale white mist quickly merged into the air of the swamp, filling the entire swamp with a sweet fragrance.
"Grow slowly. I've invested so much money, I hope you can give me some surprises."
Xu Yang raised his hand and waved it, and the power of the Refining Heart Realm surged again. An invisible barrier appeared at the edge of the swamp, isolating this area from other areas. He did not intend to let these worms spread at will. After all, their characteristics had not been fully understood. If they were to rashly let them come into contact with other areas of the Refining Heart Realm, it might bring unpredictable consequences.
Xu Yang's shadow slowly dissipated, but a trace of his consciousness still remained in the swamp, always paying attention to the movements of the three worms.
At the same time, the soul of the Xuanmie Overlord in the outside world began to recover rapidly.
With the disappearance of the worm, his soul began to actively absorb external energy to replenish itself, and the cracks on the surface no longer spread.
Everyone in the field could feel that the consciousness of the Overlord of Xuanmie was awakening.
"It's solved." Xu Yang took back the power of the Heart Refining Realm and said lightly.
Upon seeing this, the Old Beast God and the Lord of the Golden Horn showed surprise on their faces.
"The Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is indeed worthy of his reputation." The Lord of the Golden Horn bowed and said, "Thank you for your help."
"Don't thank me yet. I have something to ask Overlord Xuanmie when he wakes up." Xu Yang said. He wanted to find out where Overlord Xuanmie encountered these soul worms.
"Okay." Of course I wouldn't refuse something that's just a piece of cake.
The soul of the Overlord Xuanmie was recovering rapidly, and as his soul was repaired, his consciousness began to awaken from the deep darkness.
"Well……"
A low groan came from the mouth of Xuanmie Overlord, his body trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of slightly confused golden pupils. His gaze wandered in the starry sky for a moment, and finally fixed on the Lord of the Golden Horn standing in front of him.
"Master Jinjiao...?" The voice of Overlord Xuanmie was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the trauma of his soul.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of the Golden Horn showed a relieved smile on his face and nodded, "Xuanmie, you are finally awake."
"This is the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf. He rescued you."
Upon hearing this, Xuanmie Overlord struggled to stand up. Although his body was still a little stiff, he still saluted Xu Yang respectfully: "Xuanmie thanks Tianlang Overlord for saving my life!"
Xu Yang waved his hand and said calmly: "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite. However, I have some questions to ask you."
Overlord Xuanmie glanced at the Starry Sky Ancestor and the Golden Horn Lord, and seeing them nod slightly, he replied: "Lord Tianlang, please feel free to ask, Xuanmie will tell you everything you know."
Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked directly, "Why are you sleeping?"
When Xuanmie Overlord heard this, his expression changed slightly, as if he recalled some bad memories, and at the same time he looked at the Lord of the Golden Horn with fear. After all, the Lord of the Golden Horn had expressly forbidden him from going to the Universe Sea.
"Hmph, you're scared now? Why weren't you afraid when you secretly ran to the cosmic ocean before? Answer the questions of the Sirius Lord first, and I will deal with you alone later." The Lord of the Golden Horn snorted coldly with his hands folded on his chest.
Xuanmie Overlord smiled bitterly, but he was relieved in his heart: "I encountered danger in an unknown dangerous place in the universe sea. I just entered and didn't walk far when my eyes went black and I fainted."
"Unknown dangerous place?" Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is it exactly?"
In the universe, those that can be called unknown dangerous places are either newly appeared dangerous places or too weak dangerous places. Generally, as long as they reach the second-level dangerous places, such as "Floating Island Chain" and "Desolate Star", they can have their own names.
"Do you have a map? Let me show it to you." The Overlord Xuanmie said in a low voice.
The Lord of the Golden Horn beside him couldn't help but laugh, and scolded: "You are so clever, you think I can't find out who gave you the map unless you take it out?"
"hey-hey."
Xu Yang ignored their internal affairs and waved his claws to reveal a rough map of the cosmic ocean.
After searching for a long time, Overlord Xuanmie pointed to a remote corner, which was far away from the three Jedi and a place that few people would go to.
"So remote?" Xu Yang raised his eyebrows.
Xuanmie Overlord said embarrassedly: "I can't help it. My Overlord strength is too weak in the universe sea. I dare not go to a busy place."
This is also the current situation of the 'weak' strong in all the major forces.
In the entire sea of the universe, only the two holy universes do not allow strong people below the level of the Lord of the Universe to venture into the sea of the universe without permission. Forces like the three major cosmic eras, especially those ethnic forces in the first cosmic era, will soon face the disaster of extinction, and they will not care about the life or death of any Venerable. As long as the strong people who can withstand the chaotic airflow of the sea of the universe are spread out by them, and try their luck in the entire sea of the universe.
This is a dying struggle, and also a microcosm of the tragedy of the times. (End of this chapter)
