Chapter 133 A Shot Awakens a Dreamer
The gray fog was like a wall.
At the entrance to the Valley of Broken Souls, the wind howled mournfully, and countless wronged souls whispered in my ears.
Every inch of this land has an unsettling dark brown hue.
That was the color that had dried and settled after being soaked in blood for millions of years.
Xiao Fan stood at the entrance of the valley, the black tip of his spear pointing diagonally at the ground.
He took a deep breath.
Decay, bloodshed, and that hidden deep within... demonic energy.
"A taste I haven't had in a long time."
For once, a rare expression of "nostalgia" appeared on Xiao Fan's perpetually icy face.
In his previous life, he unearthed that object here and used it as a foundation to forge the Demon Emperor's golden body, which struck fear into the hearts of all three realms.
Now we're retracing our steps.
Things have changed, but the killing continues forever.
"open."
Xiao Fan raised his hand, his fingertips quickly tracing lines in the air.
Several eerie black runes appeared out of thin air and then suddenly imprinted themselves onto the churning mist in front of them.
"Buzz—!"
The barrier, which was originally as solid as an iron wall, would instantly disperse to the sides when a subject encountered the king.
A narrow passage, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, was revealed.
Xiao Fan stepped inside.
The fog behind them immediately closed in, completely blocking any outside prying eyes.
……
In the valley.
The field of vision did not become wider.
Instead, it made me feel even more depressed.
The ground beneath my feet was no longer soil, but a thick layer of withered bones.
With each step, it made a crisp "crack, crack" sound.
Crushing forgotten pieces of history.
Sudden.
"call--"
A gust of cold wind suddenly rose from the ground.
The scattered skeletons on the ground began to tremble eerily.
Dark red lines, like living blood vessels, spread across the white bones.
In the blink of an eye.
Within a radius of a hundred feet, a huge circular magic circle lit up on the ground.
Blood splattered across the sky!
That oppressive force actually reached the intensity of a perfect Core Formation stage cultivator!
"roar!"
"Give me back my life..."
Accompanied by a mournful roar.
Hundreds of translucent phantoms emerged from the ground.
Some of them were missing limbs, while others were simply a jumbled mass of flesh and blood.
There were human cultivators as well as ferocious demonic beasts.
These are all intruders who have died in the Valley of Broken Souls over the centuries.
Its resentment lingered after death, and it was imprisoned by this great formation, transforming into an evil spirit guarding the formation.
"Outsiders...die!"
A vengeful spirit, as large as a house, roared and pounced on Xiao Fan.
The enormous claw, emanating a soul-corroding black aura, slammed down.
If it were an ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivator, even one with a slightly weaker mind, their Dao heart would probably have collapsed from the overwhelming resentment.
But Xiao Fan merely raised his eyelids coldly.
He didn't even raise his spear.
"Blood Spirit Refining Soul Array?"
His tone was laced with undisguised contempt.
"Shoddy work."
"What a waste of such high-quality soul power."
Faced with the giant claw that could shatter rocks, Xiao Fan advanced instead of retreating.
He slipped and stumbled.
He slipped into the embrace of the vengeful spirit of the demon beast like a ghost.
"Disperse."
A low shout.
Xiao Fan's right eye suddenly turned completely black.
The Eye of Annihilation!
An invisible wave swept out instantly.
"Bang!"
The seemingly ferocious and vengeful beast was actually a punctured balloon.
It exploded into a sky full of black mist in an instant.
however.
This is just the beginning.
Seeing their companion killed, the hundreds of vengeful spirits around them did not retreat; instead, they were aroused to become even more ferocious.
The magic array accelerated its operation.
Streams of crimson light erupted from the ground, converging on Xiao Fan like a cage.
These beams of light can not only imprison the physical body, but also directly refine the soul!
"That's interesting."
Xiao Fan sneered.
"Is this the old man's backup plan?"
"pity."
"You're still too green to try and use formations against me."
Xiao Fan suddenly leaped up.
He did not choose to use brute force to fight against the gradually closing blood-red cage.
Instead, it transformed into a black lightning bolt, weaving through the gaps in the dense attacks.
Three steps to the left, the Kan position.
The first seven steps involve dismounting.
Take a step back, and you'll find the Zhen position.
Every step he took was precisely placed on the nodes where the spiritual energy of the array flowed.
It's a highly skilled butcher dissecting an ox, like a master butcher carving up a cow.
"Give me... the reverse!"
Xiao Fan thrust his spear into a seemingly ordinary pile of bones on the ground.
"boom!"
A domineering and incomparable black demonic energy surged wildly into the ground along the gun barrel.
The blood-red array, which was rotating clockwise, suddenly stopped.
Followed by.
It made a teeth-grinding, grinding sound.
They've actually started to force a reversal!
"ah--!"
This time, it wasn't Xiao Fan who screamed.
Instead, it was the vengeful spirits that pounced on them.
Originally the hunters, they suddenly discovered that the tiny human had become a huge vortex.
An irresistible suction force pulled their souls toward the black spear.
"Since you're here, don't leave."
Xiao Fan's eyes were indifferent.
"Perfect timing, my cultivation level still needs some work."
"You are the best nourishment."
He sat down cross-legged.
The Demonic Eyes of Annihilation are fully activated.
The spear seemed to suck in water like a dragon.
Those hideous vengeful spirits transformed into the purest soul energy, continuously flowing into Xiao Fan's body.
This is a feast for the senses.
It was also a massacre where the thieves doubled over each other.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The valley returned to a deathly silence.
The crimson array had completely collapsed, and even the runes on the ground had become dim and lifeless.
As for those vengeful spirits...
Not even a crumb was left.
Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed.
The spiritual energy fluctuations within his body were at least 30% more concentrated than before he entered.
The sense of disharmony between the soul and body caused by rebirth has also dissipated considerably.
"That feels good."
Xiao Fan stood up and shook off non-existent dust from the hem of his clothes.
"I am very satisfied with this welcoming ceremony from the Valley of Broken Souls."
He drew his spear.
His gaze passed over the shattered bones scattered on the ground and looked into the deepest part of the rift valley.
There.
An ancient and decaying aura is reviving.
"Next."
"Time to go get your main meal."
……
The further you go in, the narrower the path becomes.
Until there is nowhere left to go.
Only a bottomless, pitch-black abyss lay before us.
Above the abyss.
Nine black iron chains, each as thick as a water bucket, stretched across the void.
One end of the chain was deeply embedded in the rock face.
At the other end, a huge bronze coffin was locked tightly.
The coffin floated in the very center of the abyss.
It is covered with intricate and ancient cloud and thunder patterns.
Time has left its mottled patina on it, but it cannot conceal the overwhelming primordial demonic aura.
Even just a glance.
It made one's soul tremble, as if being sucked into the coffin.
Xiao Fan stood on the edge of the cliff.
Looking at that coffin.
A complex emotion flickered in his eyes.
In his previous life, he had survived countless near-death experiences here before finally obtaining the contents of the coffin.
But this time.
He doesn't need to be so pathetic anymore.
"Old friend."
Stop pretending to be asleep.
Xiao Fan's voice echoed in the empty abyss.
"Now that you're awake, come out and greet the guests."
Dead silence.
Only the wind howled from the depths below.
The bronze coffin remained completely still.
"Oh."
Xiao Fan sneered.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."
His spear jerked violently.
A black, phantom-like dragon roared out from the tip of the spear.
They headed straight for the bronze coffin.
"when--!"
A loud bang.
The entire canyon shook from the shock.
The dragon crashed into the coffin lid, sparks flying everywhere.
