In the tales of warriors from the Divine Martial Continent, the Soul Eater is referred to as the Corpse Bug. This peculiar name comes from the unique dietary habits of the Corpse Bug, yet no one knows that the origin of the Soul Eater dates back to Ancient Times!
The true Soul Eater, as described by the Flying Spirit Lion, is far more complex than just a mere bug!
What flashed through the mist was indeed a large mass! However, it was completely different from what Ye Feng had imagined. He initially thought he would see a swarm of tiny, disgusting bugs that would make him shudder, but after all, they were just bugs, and he still had the courage to fight them!
But when the true form of the creatures in the mist revealed itself, Ye Feng felt an overwhelming urge to turn and run! Because these were not bugs at all! They were monsters! Real monsters!
With eight legs like a spider, but much larger than any spider he had ever seen, their faces were covered with countless eyes and lacked noses, featuring only a massive mouth dripping with foul saliva! Despite being grotesque creatures, their immense size made them extraordinarily terrifying!
Ye Feng's skin crawled; just ahead, he could see at least a dozen of these giant spider-like creatures. Who knows how many more lurked behind them? It was no wonder that the Flying Spirit Lion had turned into a cowardly bug.
In front of these terrifying giants, even if it transformed, it would be no match!
"Damn it! What on earth are these things!" Although Ye Feng was terrified, he knew retreating was not an option; behind him, several of these creatures were also emerging. He had no choice but to channel his True Energy and keep a vigilant watch around him!
At this moment, the Flying Spirit Lion had not yet transformed. It began to move closer to Ye Feng and said in a slightly improved tone, "Do you still intend to push on to the center of the Underground Palace?"
Ye Feng was taken aback; who would have thought that at such a critical moment, this guy would say something so outlandish! He immediately snapped back, "Please talk about what's happening right now!"
The Spirit Lion Man chuckled awkwardly and said, "What's happening right now is if we somehow survive this onslaught from the Soul Eaters, do you still plan to continue onward?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng fell silent. This question was indeed brutally harsh. He had never anticipated encountering such terrifying creatures in the center of the Underground Palace. Now faced with this dilemma after his battle, it was something he needed to consider!
After thinking for a moment, the group of Soul Eaters could no longer hold back and began to scuttle toward him with eerie sounds!
"If I survive this! Even if I die, I still want to see what's in the center!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and declared! No longer holding back, he took the initiative to strike first!
"Thunder Dragon Burrow! Go!" With that command, his Shattering Immortal Spear soared into the air, unleashing bolts of thunder as it shot toward the swarm of creatures ahead!
"Boom!" A tremendous explosion echoed as several Soul Eaters were caught in such a fierce attack and had their legs blown off while letting out horrifying wails! However, Ye Feng was astonished that despite the Shattering Immortal Spear's ferocious assault, it failed to inflict fatal damage on them!
At this moment, the Flying Spirit Lion emerged from its brief fear, casting a complex glance at Ye Feng, seemingly surprised by the human's courage. However, he soon joined the fray!
"Roar!" A sound like Tiger's Roar in the Mountains echoed through the air. After all, he was a primordial spirit beast, and his initial panic upon seeing the Soul Eaters transformed into fierce determination! With the strength of the Xuanwu Realm, he would not easily be subdued by these repulsive creatures!
The battle was about to erupt! The Soul Eaters no longer attacked cautiously; they moved swiftly, forming an offensive from all directions toward Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion!
Ye Feng held the Golden Dragon Sword in one hand while manipulating the Shattering Immortal Spear with the other. The combination of both weapons was powerful, with colorful light radiating from the Golden Dragon Sword, shooting out countless Light Sword Shadows that slowed down the advance of the Soul Eaters!
The Shattering Immortal Spear transformed into Soaring Dragon, harvesting the straggling Soul Eaters at the edge of the battlefield. In an instant, terrifying sounds of battle filled the air—howls, collisions, and explosions were incessant!
The Flying Spirit Lion unleashed its formidable power, transforming into its true form. With its rugged physique and sharp claws, it tore apart every creature in sight. However, even it suffered minor injuries under the eight claws of the Soul Eaters!
"Be careful! Their saliva is toxic!" During the battle, the Flying Spirit Lion suddenly roared this warning. It seemed that the injury came from a claw of a Soul Eater soaked in saliva; otherwise, with its extraordinary defense, these physical attacks would have been ineffective!
This warning came just in time. Due to their overwhelming numbers and with the Dragon's Dance Spear unable to cover all angles, several Soul Eaters closed in on Ye Feng and opened their terrifying mouths to spew thick venom!
Ye Feng let out a strange cry and swiftly dodged the venom. It splattered against the wall behind him with a sizzling sound, emitting smoke that suggested it was quite toxic!
"Disgusting creatures! Die!" Ye Feng shouted as he unleashed the Void Sword Technique. In an instant, the Golden Dragon Sword erupted with an unparalleled attack that swiftly pierced through several approaching Soul Eaters!
Countless attributes caused an unending assault from the Soul Eaters. From front to back and all sides, they surged forward without fear of death. Even with their companions' corpses beneath their feet, they charged ahead resolutely as if determined to tear apart any living being in sight!
This frenzied behavior made Ye Feng ponder during the battle. Logically speaking, why would they act so recklessly? What drove them to such madness?!
This was a question because any beast would typically exhibit desperate behavior only when faced with danger. Knowing full well they were walking into death yet persisting in such actions meant these beasts were either mindless or under someone else's control!
Ye Feng's gaze pierced through the fog as if trying to sense whether there was a hidden mastermind behind it all! But it was futile; his focus was too scattered amidst the chaos of battle to gather any useful information!
The Killing God summoned by the Soul Guiding Banner remained steadfast in guarding his master's left flank. Under his invincible fists, even when saliva from the Soul Eaters splattered on him, he remained unharmed because he was immune to most physical attacks!
Ye Feng focused solely on what lay ahead. To his right, the Flying Spirit Lion was holding back the enemy, and the defensive formation against the wall was perfect. The triangular positioning effectively resisted wave after wave of attacks. The approaching Soul Eaters were either pierced through the skull by the Dragon's Dance Spear or had their hearts blasted out by the Seven-Colored Golden Dragon Sword. The thick azure blood quickly pooled on the ground, and as he lightly sniffed the air, a nauseating odor filled his nostrils. This smell was dizzying, and a terrible feeling enveloped him, as if the scent of blood itself was toxic.
"This could go on forever! We either advance or quickly retreat to create an escape route!" the Flying Spirit Lion roared again.
Ye Feng found himself in a dilemma. On one hand, he wanted to venture into the center to see what lay there, but heading toward the mist would surely lead to more Soul Eaters. The rear was less crowded, allowing for a potential escape... but that was not the outcome he desired!
After a long moment of contemplation, some saliva inevitably splattered onto Ye Feng's body. It was impossible to maintain perfect defense; he felt corrosion setting in. The martial artist's True Energy immediately surrounded him, trying to expel the infiltrating venom.
The venom truly devoured souls; it touched his skin and caused spasms and nerve pain throughout his body. Ye Feng gritted his teeth as cold sweat streamed down his face. Finally, he decided he could no longer endure!
"Ice Spirit Soul! Block!" With this command, the Divine Soul power he had suppressed for so long surged forth once more. The barrier that formed around him was icy and indestructible; even the Soul Eater's saliva could not penetrate it. Those daring enough to approach were instantly turned into ice blocks by the chilling aura of the barrier.
A gentle touch shattered them completely! Only the Phantom Demon could withstand this cold aura without freezing. These Soul Eaters were ultimately mere monsters of this world, and they were instantly repelled by the Ice Spirit Soul's overwhelming force! Even in their reckless state, they began to fall silent and halt their assault.
Seeing this, the Flying Spirit Lion widened its eyes and exclaimed, "You have such powers! Why didn't you use them earlier?" The reproach in its tone was evident.
It was true; had he used this ability sooner, perhaps it would have spared him some injuries!
Looking at his body, which was now corroded by saliva, Ye Feng felt a pang of guilt. However, there was a reason he had refrained from using Ice Spirit Soul for so long. If he continued to use it recklessly, he would arrive at the Underground Palace's center with little energy left!
In that case, he would be unable to ascertain the fate of the Ancient Demon God. This was also why he hadn't triggered it during his battle with the Flying Spirit Lion. But now, it had come to a critical moment! To fulfill his promise and uncover the truth at the center of the Underground Palace,
he had to do this!
"Now you have two choices: first, continue advancing with me; second, leave on your own!" Ye Feng said through gritted teeth as he looked at the encroaching Soul Eaters.
The Flying Spirit Lion paused for a moment and asked, "What about you?"
"If you choose to go back, I will move forward on my own!"
"Why?" Sky Lion couldn't understand his behavior. What was the difference between this and Soul Eater's reckless attacks?
Ye Feng smiled sadly and said, "I need to verify something; that is my purpose for coming here!"
"Is it more important than your life?" Sky Lion roared. He didn't particularly care about this human's life, but he couldn't comprehend whether this guy was just being foolish or if there was something wrong with his mind.
"You don't understand. Some things, once spoken, must be done!" Ye Feng took a deep breath. At this point, he couldn't tell if he was fulfilling his promise to Haotian Shura True Monarch and Avatar or if he simply wanted to uncover the truth!
Flying Spirit Lion fell silent again. Then, he looked at the group of Soul Eaters who had retreated in fear and chuckled, "Well, since Divine Spear chose you as its master, perhaps it is also my master's choice. Since I have brought you here, I never intended to leave alone. We either go together or we leave together!"
Ye Feng lowered his head, feeling somewhat moved. The other party had no obligation to accompany him to death, as this was a path fraught with peril. Even if he reached the center, it would only be to unleash his final Ice Spirit Aura. At that moment, facing the endless Soul Eaters, neither of them had much chance of survival.
For Flying Spirit Lion to do this was already a form of acknowledgment or perhaps a gesture of friendship.
"Thank you. Then let us carve a path out!"
