Chapter 4745 Soul-Binding Night Demon

The full-force strike left only a shallow mark on the ground, causing a look of seriousness to appear in Liu Wuxie's eyes.

He was quite certain that the eerie aura was emanating from deep underground, and with his current cultivation level, he was unable to detect anything underground.

Sheathed the Ink Shadow Sword and continued deeper into the mountain path.

Another day passed, and with figures appearing on the mountain range ahead, Liu Wuxie immediately perked up.

"Whoosh!"

Using his full speed, he reached a speed that was less than one percent of that of the Heavenly Realm, but still much faster than walking. Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the mountain range where people appeared.

Strangely, when Liu Wuxie arrived at the mountain range, those figures vanished into thin air, as if they had never appeared, making Liu Wuxie immediately feel something was wrong.

"I'm absolutely certain that the figures that appeared earlier were here. Why did those figures disappear after I arrived here?"

Liu Wuxie frowned. Looking across the entire Heavenly Domain, there were few who could surpass him in speed. He had already traveled at full speed just now, and even if those people had left, they would still leave some clues.

Just as Liu Wuxie was about to leave, a rustling sound came from afar, and shadows emerged from behind a rock.

That's right, after crawling out, there was actually a crack more than a meter wide behind the rock.

Liu Wuxie was on high alert. These people who suddenly appeared had empty eyes and expressionless faces. He recognized some of them; they seemed to be disciples of Shenye City. Why were they here?

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a group of about twenty people appeared in front of Liu Wuxie. They formed a circle and surrounded Liu Wuxie, their empty eyes suddenly revealing a bloodthirsty aura.

"Gentlemen, what happened to you?"

Liu Wuxie scanned these people with his eyes and found that they still had life force in their bodies, but they seemed to have lost consciousness, each of them like a walking corpse.

He asked them questions because he wanted to know if their thinking had been affected.

"Drink..."

Several of them opened their blood-red mouths, and a foul stench emanated from their mouths, causing Liu Wuxie to cover his mouth and nose. He then used his divine sense to enter their bodies through their mouths and discovered that their internal organs were full of pustules, emitting a foul stench.

Normally, if the internal organs rot, even if one doesn't die, their vital essence will be lost. Strangely, they still live well, and their vitality has not been greatly damaged.

Without a word, the group of people, their mouths agape, pounced on Liu Wuxie, intending to devour his flesh and blood.

Seeing this, the others opened their mouths, sharp fangs emerging from them, baring their teeth and claws, and lunged straight at Liu Wuxie's body.

Suppressed by the rules of the Amazing Domain, their speed was very slow.

Liu Wuxie immediately drew his Ink Shadow Sword and slashed at the people attacking him. Since things had come to this, he could only protect himself first.

"Crack!"

The Ink Shadow Sword slashed down from mid-air, and one of the people's bodies exploded, turning into a large amount of flesh and blood that scattered between heaven and earth. Liu Wuxie dared not easily devour it.

The moment the cultivator exploded, a strange gas shot out from his body and headed straight for Liu Wuxie.

There was definitely a problem. Could it be that these gases were controlling their bodies?

Liu Wuxie dodged, trying to avoid the cloud of gas.

What's terrifying is that these gases seem to possess sentience, and they attacked Liu Wuxie once again.

After several dodges, the gas floating in the air gradually dissipated and then sank into the ground.

With the gas no longer chasing him, Liu Wuxie finally felt relieved. He wasn't sure if he could withstand the corrosive effects of the strange gas.

Just then, the others closed in, and Liu Wuxie had nowhere to avoid them, so he had no choice but to unleash his killing move.

"A sword that cleaves the heavens!"

A terrifying sword aura swept out, slicing through more than a dozen people who were nearby, and a large amount of blood filled the sky.

Looking at the corpses lying motionless on the ground, Liu Wuxie's brows furrowed even more deeply.

More than a dozen streams of gas suddenly attacked from all directions.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Liu Wuxie used the Free and Easy Step to avoid the gas attacks as much as possible. After a while, the gas gradually dissipated and eventually sank into the ground.

After the gas dissipated, Liu Wuxie breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and examined the corpses.

"Dragon Spirit, can you see anything?"

Liu Wuxie asked Long Ling.

It's a pity we parted ways with Liu Wu and the others, otherwise, with Liu Wu's knowledge, he should have been able to understand the origin of these strange energies.

The fourth primordial spirit was preserved only in terms of common knowledge about cultivation. As for some secrets about the Ancient God Realm, he didn't know much. Most of the time, he learned about them from Liu Wu.

"It seems to be a Soul-Binding Night Fiend, but I'm not sure if it is. If the mistress were here, she would definitely recognize the origin of this thing."

Long Ling sat on the edge of the Dragon Pool, and she could see the strange gas from earlier very clearly.

What is the Soul-Binding Night Fiend?

Liu Wuxie asked in confusion, as he had never heard of this name before.

“I don’t know the specifics either. I only know that the Soul-Binding Night Fiend is the most peculiar kind of evil energy in the world. It can devour all kinds of creatures with souls in the world, bind their souls, and take over their bodies. Whether these people in front of you are controlled by the Soul-Binding Night Fiend, you only need to use your Yin God to test it. If it is the Soul-Binding Night Fiend, your Yin God can absorb it. Master probably doesn’t know yet that the Eighteen Yin Gods have a magical ability, which is to bind the souls of living people.”

Since meeting the mistress, Long Ling seems to have completely accepted her master, unlike before when she would speak with some reservations.

"The Yin Spirit Who Pulls Out the Tongue!"

Without any hesitation, Liu Wuxie immediately summoned the Tongue-Pulling Yin God, wanting to know if the Eighteen Yin Gods could absorb the Soul-Binding Night Fiends that had not yet dissipated.

The Tongue-Pulling Yin God quickly emerged from the Hell Temple and stood beside Liu Wuxie. Sensing the aura of the Soul-Binding Night Fiend, the Tongue-Pulling Yin God's pincers were itching to strike.

"Go!"

Upon hearing Liu Wuxie's command, the Tongue-Pulling Yin Spirit swiftly sprang forth, easily seizing a wisp of Soul-Binding Night Fiend and devouring it with relish.

Liu Wuxie couldn't bear to look. The strange energy that had been grabbed by the Tongue-Pulling Yin God was actually struggling, trying to break free from the control of the Tongue-Pulling Yin God.

The tongue-pulling Yin spirit put the strange gas into its mouth and quickly ate it all up.

The other Soul-Binding Night Fiends sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

The tongue-pulling Yin spirit seemed unsatisfied, as if it wanted to devour more Soul-Binding Night Fiends in order to awaken its own Soul-Binding ability.

Once the Eighteen Yin Gods master the Soul-Binding Technique, they can easily imprison the soul of their opponents using this technique.

The Soul-Locking Chains that awakened in the Hell Temple were actually a type of soul-binding device. They could control the primordial spirit of others, but could not imprison their souls.

As his cultivation level increased, the Hell Temple successfully evolved, giving birth to the Eighteen Yin Gods, whose abilities were many times stronger than the Soul-Locking Chains.

"Long Ling, if those people are still alive, can I use the Yin God to absorb the Soul-Binding Night Fiend within them, so they don't have to die?"

Liu Wuxie was forced to kill these people just now.

"I'm not sure about the specifics either, but you might want to give it a try, Master."

Long Ling had only heard of the Soul-Binding Night Fiend; this was the first time she had ever seen one.

"Do you know how the Soul-Binding Night Fiend is formed?"

Liu Wuxie asked again.

His wife, children, relatives, brothers, friends, and members of the Heavenly Dao Society were all in the Jinghong Domain. If they encountered this evil energy, he didn't know if they could withstand it, so he had to find out the reason.

"Only a truly malevolent place can form the Soul-Binding Night Fiend. This place was the center of the battlefield back then, and countless human cultivators and aliens died. After they died, the malevolent energy in their bodies gathered and eventually formed the Soul-Binding Night Fiend. These are just my guesses, and whether they are true or not still needs to be verified."

Long Ling revealed everything he knew, but these were all speculations, and there was no evidence to prove that the Soul-Binding Night Fiend was formed from the condensation of those fiendish energies.

Besides the ominous places, some extremely ominous places will also give rise to a small number of Soul-Binding Night Fiends. As time goes by, the Soul-Binding Night Fiends become stronger and stronger, eventually occupying a part of the world.

"All things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Since the Soul-Binding Night Fiend can be born, there should be something to restrain it."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wuxie continued to ask.

“You’re right. As long as you find the Soul Cleansing Fruit, you can cleanse your soul and prevent it from being corrupted by the Soul-Binding Night Fiends. The mistress seemed to have mentioned to me that wherever the Soul-Binding Night Fiends gather, Soul Cleansing Fruits will surely grow. Master, you can keep an eye out for that in the future.”

Long Ling suddenly remembered that the mistress seemed to have mentioned this matter before.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Wuxie looked around but couldn't find the Soul-Cleansing Fruit.

"Over the years, the Soul-Binding Night Fiends have probably grown to a considerable size, appearing in various places. To find the Soul-Cleansing Fruit, one must reach the core area of ​​the Soul-Binding Night Fiends; that's where you should be able to find it."

Long Ling replied without hesitation.

Where venomous snakes are found, antidotes are often found, and the same is true for the Soul-Binding Night Fiend.

The stronger the Night Evil of Soul Binding, the more suitable it is for the growth of Soul Cleansing Fruit, because Soul Cleansing Fruit needs to absorb the energy in the Night Evil to grow rapidly.

After figuring out the reason, Liu Wuxie quickly flew away to reunite with his family as soon as possible.

Since Long Ling knows about the Soul-Binding Night Fiend, those cultivators from the Ancient Divine Realm should also know about its existence. Hopefully, Ancestor Huai Ling will pass this message on to the others in the Taihe Sect as soon as possible.

Liu Wu and Liu Shi should also know about the existence of the Soul-Binding Night Fiend, but it's unknown whether they know how to resolve it.

The patriarchs of the major super sects have all lived since before the Heavenly Domain split apart. Some of them should know about the existence of the Soul-Binding Night Fiend. I believe that it won't be long before the news of the Soul-Binding Night Fiend spreads throughout the entire Jinghong Domain.

As he ventured deeper, he discovered that the Amazing Realm was far larger than he had imagined.

Since it is the center of the battlefield, the area that splits out is much larger; compared to the Sky Domain, it is only one-tenth the size.

In other areas of the Jinghong Domain, a terrifying scene was unfolding as large amounts of evil energy rose from the ground and invaded their bodies.

Those cultivators tainted by the Soul-Binding Night Fiend became walking corpses, devouring their companions.

Any cultivator who has been devoured instantly becomes a walking corpse, continuing to devour those around them, like a plague that is spreading uncontrollably.

In just a few days, a large number of cultivators who entered the Jinghong Domain were killed or injured.

Tianyu!

From the Soul Stele Halls of various sects, cracking sounds rang out. Whether it was elders or disciples, soul steles kept exploding. This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Heavenly Domain.

Many disciples and elders who failed to enter the Jinghong Domain were initially resentful, but now they are filled with relief, never expecting the Jinghong Domain to be so dangerous.

So many people have died in just a few days. What will happen in a few more days?
