Chapter 1237 Extracting Nutrients
The walls were broken and in ruins, covered in cobwebs, and the air was filled with an aura of decay and misfortune.
Mu Wanling stood in the center of this ancient temple.
She remained calm and composed at this moment.
Around her body, a protective shield woven from emerald green vines exuded a rich life force, firmly protecting her.
Outside the protective barrier, dozens of translucent, twisted, and tormented humanoid phantoms were frantically attacking it!
They let out silent shrieks, tearing with their claws and ramming with their bodies. With each collision, the emerald green shield dimmed a little!
Behind those illusory figures, a cultivator shrouded in a black robe was hovering in mid-air.
He was completely hidden in the shadows, his face was not visible, only a pair of eyes that gleamed with a scarlet light in the darkness!
"It's him!"
When Feng Wanli saw the figure in black robes, his expression instantly turned serious!
"The true disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect, Ghost Shadow!"
"This person specializes in secret techniques of the soul, and his methods are extremely bizarre and vicious! Those around him are all the vengeful spirits of cultivators whose souls he extracted and refined!"
"Each vengeful spirit represents an innocent life!"
Xie Purou's face instantly fell, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Isn't this just a complete pervert?"
"What kind of skill is it to target only girls!"
Youruo's expression also turned cold as she carefully observed the battle.
“Sister Wanling is from the Qingmu Sacred Clan, and her long life force is perfect for suppressing this kind of filthy and evil magic.”
"but……"
She paused, a hint of worry flashing in her cool eyes.
"The enemy has too many vengeful spirits. Every attack is draining Sister Wanling's power!"
"If this continues, won't she be worn down to death?"
In the ancient temple.
The air was thick with a mixture of chilling and decaying odors.
The ghostly figure looked at Mu Wanling, who was trapped in the vine-covered barrier, and let out a grating laugh like that of a night owl.
"The prodigy of the Qingmu Holy Clan... your vitality truly intoxicates me!"
"Just give up and become my perfect collectible!"
"I promise I'll make you the most powerful of all these vengeful spirits!"
His voice was filled with a morbid obsession and cruelty.
Mu Wanling frowned slightly as she looked at the vengeful spirits frantically attacking the protective barrier. There was no fear in her eyes, only a trace of disgust and pity.
"Taking pleasure in the suffering of others, you have gone astray."
Her voice was cool and clear, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.
"Hahaha! It went off-target?"
The ghostly figure laughed even more wildly.
"Naive! In this world, power is everything!"
"What does it matter how many souls I devour as long as I can become stronger?"
He waved his hand sharply.
Tear her to shreds!
The dozens of vengeful spirits seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and their attack instantly became several times more ferocious!
They shrieked and crashed, causing the emerald green shield to tremble violently, its surface gleaming at a visible speed.
On the viewing platform.
Xie Purou was furious, her little fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"That bastard! He's bullying us!"
"You think you can wear him down with a war of attrition? When I meet him, I'll turn him into a pill!"
Although You Ruo did not speak, a layer of frost had formed in her clear and cold eyes.
Only Ye Chen remained calm and composed, sipping his tea with a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
Ancient temple battlefield.
Seeing that the protective barrier was about to collapse, Ghost's eyes revealed a smug sense of victory.
however.
Just then, Mu Wanling sighed softly.
"Stubborn."
She closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, they had turned a pure emerald green, like the finest jade, containing boundless life force!
She stretched out her slender hand and gently clenched it in the air.
"All trees...are welcoming spring!"
boom!
An indescribable life force erupted from her center!
This aura was neither as domineering as Gu Hanchuan's White Bone Power, nor as indestructible as Shi Kai's Mystic Crystal Body.
It is gentle, yet vast!
It nourishes silently, yet it penetrates every nook and cranny!
Emerald green light spots drifted out from Mu Wanling's body, like millions of fireflies, instantly filling the entire ancient temple.
The moment those hideous vengeful spirits came into contact with these points of light, their wildly distorted faces miraculously calmed down.
The violence and resentment they saw were quickly fading away, replaced by a sense of relief and peace.
"What...what's going on?"
The smug smile on the ghost's face froze completely!
He discovered that the connection between himself and those vengeful spirits was being forcibly severed by an irresistible force!
"No! Come back! All of you, come back!"
He frantically activated the secret technique, trying to regain control of the vengeful spirit.
But it's no use!
The vengeful spirits no longer heeded his commands.
They all bowed deeply in Mu Wanling's direction.
Then, their bodies began to become transparent, turning into specks of starlight, and completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
They have been released from suffering!
All resentment was washed away by Mu Wanling's pure and clean life force, and she was sent into reincarnation!
"puff!"
The connection between their souls was forcibly severed. The ghostly figure was struck as if by a heavy blow, and it suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, its aura instantly weakening!
"My vengeful spirit...my collection!"
He let out a piercing scream, his voice filled with disbelief and endless pain!
This is a treasure he spent hundreds of years refining!
Just like that... gone?
Mu Wanling walked slowly toward him, her steps light and graceful. Wherever she passed, tender green grass sprouted from the ground of the dilapidated ancient temple, blooming into splendid flowers.
Death and rebirth formed an incredibly eerie yet harmonious scene at this moment.
"Now it is your turn."
She looked at the ghostly figure, her tone calm.
"No! You can't kill me! I am a true disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect!"
The ghost was utterly terrified, spitting out blood as it roared in a show of bravado but inwardly cowardly ferocity.
"My master is the Soul Devouring Ancestor! If you dare to touch me, he will absolutely not let you off!"
Mu Wanling shook her head.
"Noisy."
She extended a pale finger toward the ghostly figure.
At your fingertips, a tender green bud quietly sprouts.
The tender shoot grew rapidly in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a strong vine that shot towards the ghostly figure like lightning!
The ghostly figure was so terrified that it turned around and tried to escape into the shadows!
But the vines are faster!
puff!
The vines pierced right through his dantian and then grew wildly inside him, splitting into countless tiny roots that burrowed into his limbs, bones, and meridians!
“Ahhhhh——!”
The ghostly figure let out a bloodcurdling scream, and crashed heavily to the ground.
He did not die immediately.
