Chapter 156: The Terror of Human Immortals (For the Alliance Leader Youth, Extra Update for Dog Feeder)
The Cosmic Dimension Model began to construct the dimensional information of this shadow.
Lan Xiaobu was most worried about waking the individual.
However, Lan Xiaobu had clearly worried too much.
After an hour had passed, the Cosmic Dimension Model had completely built the dimensional model of the individual, and they remained immersed in their cultivation.
As Lan Xiaobu strolled around the great hall, he finally understood the situation.
This shadow was the primordial spirit of a person.
This revelation left Lan Xiaobu extremely shocked.
He was very aware that for a primordial spirit to separate from the physical body to cultivate by itself, it at least had to be of the Human Immortal realm.
This meant that the cultivating shadow was a primordial spirit of a Human Immortal, and it was at a critical stage of its practice.
The technique being cultivated was called Seven Souls Slash.
Cultivating this technique required the seven souls of countless cultivators, and the Soul Capture Array was designed to capture cultivators' seven souls, which were then devoured by this Human Immortal's primordial spirit to practice the Seven Souls Slash.
Once this technique was successfully cultivated, it could effortlessly sever its opponent's seven souls.
Moreover, the individual before him had already cultivated to the fifth soul, the Sparrow Yin.
The Cosmic Dimension Model had not located the individual’s physical body, which meant that they were either not present or did not possess a physical body at all.
Lan Xiaobu suspected the former since the individual was sitting on a teleportation array pattern, which was a soul array.
Such a soul array was considerably more complex than ordinary formations; it could not transport physical objects but could only transfer souls or thoughts.
According to Lan Xiaobu's speculation, this primordial spirit was practicing here for convenience and secrecy.
Clearly, devouring seven souls for cultivation was a universally condemned act.
If such a person were discovered, it would spark a collective rage.
Therefore, this person was quietly hidden away to practice Seven Souls Slash, with the added reason that cultivating the technique required a state of pure primordial spirit.
Even though this was a strong Human Immortal, the lack of a physical body made it difficult for Lan Xiaobu to eliminate this individual.
To strike down a primordial spirit of a Human Immortal was not an easy task for a Golden Core cultivator.
Not to mention, even a Spirit Refinement cultivator might not be able to achieve it.
However, Lan Xiaobu was no ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
He was a formation master capable of stepping into the sixth level at any time, and more importantly, he had the Cosmic Dimension Model.
At this moment, Lan Xiaobu wandered back to the plaza outside the great hall.
Two newly arrived Golden Core cultivators were ensnared by the Soul Capture Array placed in the plaza.
When Lan Xiaobu scanned the two cultivators with his divine sense, he felt two clusters being captured and pulled from the plaza, clearly sent to the inner hall for the spirit to cultivate with.
These should be the seven souls, separated into Stinking Lung, Purging Filth, Non-Poison, Soul Devourer, Sparrow Yin, Hidden Arrow, and Dog Corpse.
According to Lan Xiaobu’s understanding, the seven souls could be separated.
It wasn't that this individual didn't care about whether the seven souls were segregated—it was more likely that they thought there were plenty of souls available here to recklessly consume.
At this moment, the two clusters of seven souls were about to rush past Lan Xiaobu.
With a thought, he activated his Soul Shield to block one of the clusters.
Then, several Soul Thorns merged into that cluster of souls.
Even before stepping into the Spirit Refinement realm, he couldn't restore the captured seven souls in a short time.
So, he decided it was better to make use of this opportunity and give that Human Immortal's primordial spirit a little surprise.
After merging in the Soul Thorn, Lan Xiaobu did not immediately send the cluster of seven souls into the inner hall; instead, he kept it blocked by his Soul Shield.
At this moment, Lan Xiaobu confirmed that this primordial spirit, while cultivating, would not notice what was happening outside the great hall.
Otherwise, he would have been detected when he came out of the seventh-level Soul Capture Array.
This individual was likely overly confident in their seventh-level Soul Capture Array.
With the soul cluster blocked, Lan Xiaobu began taking out formation flags to set up various formations.
He couldn’t set up the teleportation soul array where the Human Immortal's primordial spirit was seated, but with the help of the Cosmic Dimension Model, he could manage to disrupt this teleportation.
After setting up the teleportation disruption formation, Lan Xiaobu began to arrange the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation.
The main offensive method of a primordial spirit was through divine sense, and the purpose of the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation was to prevent divine sense and true essence.
This time, the arrangement was completely different from when he was being chased by Gui Wushou; Lan Xiaobu had ample time.
After finishing, he could use the Cosmic Dimension Model to refine and improve the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation he had set.
After spending a considerable amount of time, Lan Xiaobu successfully upgraded the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation to about the level of a sixth-grade formation.
After setting up three Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formations, Lan Xiaobu proceeded to place the Soul-Stopping Incense.
This incense suppressed the opponent's divine sense, and it was particularly effective against primordial spirits.
Different from his previous encounter with Gui Wushou, where he only used two sticks of Soul-Stopping Incense, this time he used nearly a hundred sticks.
Naturally, he kindled the incense using a fire array, and once the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation activated, the fire array would ignite automatically.
After doing all this, Lan Xiaobu finally took out a long halberd.
Looking at the low-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, he felt a bit helpless.
He truly lacked a suitable attack treasure.
Regardless, he should be able to act now.
Lan Xiaobu withdrew his divine shield, and the cluster of seven souls, integrated with his Soul Thorn, swiftly floated into the inner hall, then merged into the head of the cultivating primordial spirit.
Lan Xiaobu fixed his gaze on this primordial spirit, knowing that only when the individual began to refine that cluster of seven souls would his Soul Thorn truly take effect.
The primordial spirit obviously hesitated and did not immediately refine the seven souls, indicating that they had received an abundant supply.
During the time Lan Xiaobu waited, several more clusters of seven souls drifted by.
After waiting a full hour, Lan Xiaobu sensed the cultivating primordial spirit tremble all over, and the array pattern shimmered to life.
How could Lan Xiaobu not know that the individual had fallen for his trap? Without hesitation, he launched dozens of Soul Thorns while simultaneously transforming the long halberd into a radiant arc aimed at the primordial spirit.
“Looking for death...” The primordial spirit immediately realized it had been ambushed and erupted in anger.
Having cultivated here safely for so many years, the previous belief was that no matter if a Human Immortal came, they wouldn't easily escape the seventh-level Soul Capture Array undetected.
Yet now, just as he was about to complete cultivating the fifth soul, he was actually ambushed.
With an enraged roar, the primordial spirit unleashed a deadly beam of light toward Lan Xiaobu.
The halberd was sent flying, yet the lethal beam surged on directly towards Lan Xiaobu.
Though Lan Xiaobu clearly saw the deadly beam, he was unable to evade it.
“Pff!” The deadly beam struck Lan Xiaobu in the chest, propelling him upward.
With a cold snort, the primordial spirit stepped out, a nearly solid handprint reaching for Lan Xiaobu's head.
This ant had dared to attack with divine sense; had it not been for the barrage of divine sense attacks hitting his Sea of Consciousness, he would have already crushed this ant.
Lan Xiaobu was alarmed and threw a punch of his own, confused as to why the numerous Soul Thorns he fired had little effect.
“Die!” the primordial spirit shouted angrily as the handprint collided with Lan Xiaobu's fist.
A chill ran through Lan Xiaobu as he felt his knuckles fracturing.
His heart sank, and he frantically circulated his true essence, swiftly retreating.
Lan Xiaobu understood that he would likely lose that hand.
To his surprise, after fracturing his knuckles, the solid handprint suddenly lost its momentum.
Soon enough, Lan Xiaobu realized the reason.
His Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation had fully activated.
How powerful was the suppression of divine sense with three formations nearly at the sixth level? Not to mention suppressing a purely primordial spirit.
With over a hundred sticks of Soul-Stopping Incense lit, this primordial spirit, even with a physical body, would have a troublesome time.
Once, it had been easy for Lan Xiaobu to seriously injure this spirit; but this time, against stronger moves, it didn’t manage to restrain him nor lift him up, merely injuring one of Lan Xiaobu's knuckles.
As waves of the Soul-Stopping Incense enveloped the primordial spirit, it quickly grasped what was happening.
This opponent was not only a formation master but had also utilized incense to suppress the divine sense.
In order to kill this ant, it had to remove the suppressive formations and incense.
Seeing that the primordial spirit wasn’t continuing to attack him but rather heading for the incense, Lan Xiaobu knew exactly what the opponent was intending.
The long halberd unleashed waves of thunderous sounds as it surged toward the primordial spirit.
In that moment, Lan Xiaobu infused all of his energy and spirit into the halberd.
The primordial spirit knew that in order to destroy Lan Xiaobu’s Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation, it first needed to severely injure him.
From the void, an enormous fist formed and slammed toward Lan Xiaobu along with the primordial spirit.
Since stepping into the Human Immortal realm, he had never felt so delayed in a battle—being pushed to this extent by a mere Golden Core ant.
Boom! The halberd was sent flying once more, and Lan Xiaobu's attacks seemed like a joke as he was sent tumbling backwards again.
Even though it was just a primordial spirit, it was still a Human Immortal.
This time, the primordial spirit ignored the Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formation and coldly stared at Lan Xiaobu, its two hands, formed from the shadow, continuously weaving various hand seals.
Calmly, it said, “First Slash of the Seven Souls, Fall!”
Lan Xiaobu felt a prickling sensation on his scalp, an inexplicable aura of death pressing down on him, making even breathing difficult.
It felt as if his Sea of Consciousness would tear apart, his thoughts being pulled away from his body.
Lan Xiaobu was well aware that this was the opponent's divine technique, Seven Souls Slash.
He couldn’t understand why the Seven Souls Slash from this primordial spirit could still be so terrifying.
Knowing that the opponent's Sea of Consciousness had already been ambushed and with over a hundred sticks of Soul-Stopping Incense lit, even with three Spirit Locking and Essence Suppressing Strangling Formations, a good portion of power should have been negated yet it was still this potent?
Layers of his Soul Shield in the Sea of Consciousness shattered one after the other, and Lan Xiaobu spurted blood from his mouth.
As that slash weakened, Lan Xiaobu realized that while he had blocked this slash, the opponent had already cultivated to the fifth soul, meaning at least five slashes awaited him, and each one was surely stronger than the last.
How would he block the ones that followed?
At this rate, he wouldn’t even need five slashes; a third slash might just be his end.
(That’s the end of today's update.
Good night, friends!)
