Chapter 2400 Soul Beads, the Army of the Dead Begins
boom!
Chen Xuan unleashed a sword strike, a terrifying attack that slashed directly at the mid-stage Golden Immortal soul.
Soon, this low-intelligence, mid-stage Golden Immortal ghost did not dodge at all when it saw Chen Xuan's attack coming.
After a ferocious grin, the illusory fist hurtled towards the Dragon-Seeking Sword that Chen Xuan had activated.
boom!
The overwhelming malevolent and ghostly aura was directly aroused by the attack of the dead souls.
It enveloped the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
At that moment, Chen Xuan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he poured a stream of pure immortal power into the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
Wow!
The size of the Dragon-Seeking Sword increased several times in an instant.
It transformed into a crimson flying sword over ten zhang in size.
Above it, terrifying fire-attribute power suddenly erupted.
The terrifying attacks of the undead were completely suppressed by the power of the fire attribute rules at this moment.
His all-out attack, the moment it landed on the Dragon-Seeking Sword, not only posed no threat, but was easily neutralized by the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
Seeing that his attack posed no threat to Chen Xuan, the ghost was immediately enraged.
He roared at Chen Xuan and immediately charged towards him.
call!
Before Chen Xuan could react, the ghost had already appeared more than ten feet away from him.
At this moment, Chen Xuan no longer had time to summon the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
We have no choice but to take this hit head-on.
However, Chen Xuan was not nervous at all.
With a cold laugh, he instantly activated the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique.
His body was rapidly covered with silver-gray dragon scales.
Before the ghost could get close to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan's fist had already swung around rapidly.
boom!
With a single punch, a powerful physical attack struck the soul squarely in the chest.
Not only was the ghost blasted back several feet by Chen Xuan's punch, but a large section of his chest also caved in.
The souls of the dead, ravaged by such a blow, were extremely agitated at this moment.
He roared at Chen Xuan again, and suddenly grabbed at the air with his hand.
Wow!
The surrounding malevolent energy was suddenly stirred up by the spirits of the dead.
Soon, they coalesced into a dark spear several meters long.
The ghost, wielding a spear, swiftly thrust it towards Chen Xuan.
boom!
The terrifying malevolent energy and ghostly aura gathered on the dark spear rushed towards Chen Xuan like a whirlwind.
Such a terrifying attack would be more than enough to deal with even a mid-stage Golden Immortal, let alone an early-stage Golden Immortal.
Naturally, Chen Xuan didn't dare to take it head-on.
With a thought, the Thunder Wings were instantly activated.
Boom!
A thunderous roar followed.
Chen Xuan was quickly swept away by a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, the ghost had no intention of letting Chen Xuan escape.
In a flash, they gave chase.
Upon seeing this, everyone who was fighting fiercely with the dead souls couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
"What's going on? Is Fellow Daoist Chen planning to escape?"
"No way? Fellow Daoist Chen is probably just stalling for time. That's good. He left with this mid-stage Golden Immortal's soul, which relieves us of a lot of worries. Quick, go all out!"
"Alright, let's deal with these wandering souls as soon as possible, and then we'll go and lend Fellow Daoist Chen a hand!"
Just as Gong Fuxian and the others began to hunt down the dead souls in an effort to support Chen Xuan as soon as possible, Chen Xuan activated his Thunder Feather Wings and leisurely led the mid-stage Golden Immortal dead soul away.
Only after he had flown dozens of miles away in one breath did Chen Xuan stop nearby.
"They've chased us this far, and they still dare to catch up? This guy's intelligence is really low."
"But it's fine this way, it's more convenient to make a move here!"
Chen Xuan smiled coldly.
As he watched the approaching mid-stage Golden Immortal soul, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
hum!
The moment the Dragon-Seeking Sword was activated, Chen Xuan directly activated the lightning-attribute Dao Source Pearl in his dantian.
Wow!
Terrifying bolts of lightning power rapidly adhered to the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
Before the mid-stage Golden Immortal's ghost could get close, Chen Xuan's Dragon-Seeking Sword had already swiftly slashed down from the void.
boom!
A terrifying power of lightning erupted from the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
It instantly enveloped the mid-stage Golden Immortal's soul, which was of the lightning element.
In just a few breaths, the souls of the dead began to scream in agony under the terrifying power of the lightning rules.
But this mid-stage Golden Immortal ghost is quite formidable.
Faced with the lightning-attribute rule power attack unleashed by Chen Xuan, he not only withstood the initial attack, but also took the opportunity to directly wield the dark spear and swiftly thrust it at the Dragon-Seeking Sword.
boom!
The moment the dark spear struck the Dragon-Seeking Sword, the lightning power attached to the sword was instantly shattered by the terrifying attack.
Even the Dragon-Seeking Sword itself swayed violently under the blow of the dark spear.
"This……"
Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly.
His attack just now didn't seem very powerful.
However, it has a great restraining effect on the dead souls in front of it.
Even so, the dead can still easily fight back.
This is enough to show that the strength of this ghost is beyond what can be described by ordinary standards.
"interesting!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
With a flick of his finger, the size of the Dragon-Seeking Sword suddenly increased dramatically.
Soon, Chen Xuan simultaneously activated the Free and Unfettered Sword Heart, the Fivefold Sword Bone, and the Thunder Attribute Rule Power within his dantian.
The size of the Dragon-Seeking Sword also suddenly increased dramatically at this moment.
It has grown from a size of more than ten zhang to a size of more than one hundred zhang.
The ghost that was chasing Chen Xuan seemed to have no fear of death.
Even though he saw that Chen Xuan's attack was extremely powerful, he still showed no fear on his face.
Instead, he thrust his dark spear at Chen Xuan again.
boom!
A raging, dark spear, like a black dragon, hurtled towards Chen Xuan.
However, Chen Xuan, who was prepared, easily activated his Thunder Wings and dodged on the spot.
This caused the ghost's attack to completely miss its mark.
However, Chen Xuan's counterattack also began at this moment.
hum!
Inside the Niwan Palace, Chen Xuan completely aroused the vast divine consciousness.
It fell directly into the Niwan Palace of the dead souls.
Wow!
In an instant, the expressions of the souls struck by Chen Xuan's divine sense became extremely distorted.
An indescribable look of pain appeared on his face.
The movements of the dead souls were thus slowed down considerably.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's Dragon-Seeking Sword was already slashing down at lightning speed.
boom!
The moment the giant sword, over a hundred feet in size, fell, the soul of the mid-stage Golden Immortal was cleaved in two without even uttering a scream.
The shattered souls were directly annihilated by the terrifying power of lightning.
Not even a dregs left.
"Finally dead? The power of the Greatsword Technique is indeed extraordinary. Especially when I combine it with the power of lightning attributes to deal with the undead, the effect is even better!"
Chen Xuan looked at the dead souls, his expression turning extremely happy.
The soul before us was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
His combat strength is also somewhat weaker than that of an ordinary mid-stage Golden Immortal.
However, Chen Xuan was able to activate the Dragon-Seeking Sword and use his Greatsword Technique to kill it with a single strike, which is enough to show that the power of the Dragon-Seeking Sword is extraordinary.
Having resolved the immediate crisis, Chen Xuan was about to put away the Dragon-Seeking Sword when he was shocked to discover that at the place where the mid-stage Golden Immortal's soul had fallen, there was a dark, round bead the size of a dragon's eye quietly floating in the void.
A pure aura continuously emanates from the bead.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over the cylinder, and he immediately revealed an undisguised excitement.
"This is... a Soul Bead?"
Soul beads!
This is something that only the souls of the dead can condense within the body.
It has the same function as the nascent soul in a true immortal's body and the demon core in a demon beast's body.
Although the soul bead in front of us exudes a terrifying and eerie aura, the earth-attribute power emanating from it is extremely pure.
Many true immortals collect soul beads and directly refine them to improve their cultivation.
Chen Xuan glanced at the soul bead and then immediately put it away.
"Although it's just an earth-attribute soul bead that I don't need myself, it's a good idea to leave it to Chen Xie!"
Chen Xuan smiled happily.
After dealing with the matter, he did not leave in a hurry.
Instead, he stood there for a long time, estimating that Liu Fu and the others had dealt with the undead, before he quickly disappeared.
Soon, when Chen Xuan arrived at the place where everyone was fighting, he found that all the dead souls who had fought with them had been cleared away.
To Chen Xuan's surprise, only the souls of those who had reached the Golden Immortal realm would have soul beads fall from their bodies.
Those late-stage Celestial Immortals who had died did not even have a single Soul Pearl inside their bodies.
However, other people's focus is not on this.
Seeing Chen Xuan return safely, everyone's curious gaze turned to him.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you're back?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, where is that wandering soul you took away? Summon it here, and I will destroy it right now!"
"That's right, we were just about to go and help you, but we didn't expect you to return safely."
Everyone looked on with great curiosity.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, that wandering soul is not coming back. Not long ago, that guy only tried to kill me and fought a powerful wandering soul nearby. I took the opportunity to kill it and then easily escaped."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
The young master of Tianluan, in particular, laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are truly lucky. If it were me, I wouldn't have such good fortune!"
You Fang, however, took a deep look, but said nothing and began cleaning up the battlefield on his own.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, no matter what, it's good that you've returned safely. This time, you single-handedly took away the soul of a mid-stage Golden Immortal, which is a great achievement. When we arrive at Master Tianhong's cave, we can give you a larger share of rare and precious materials!" Liu Fu comforted him with a smile.
"If that's the case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Soon, after everyone finished cleaning up the battlefield, they continued on their way under Liu Fu's leadership.
Unbeknownst to them, just as Chen Xuan and the others were slaying this small army of undead, in a huge valley less than a hundred miles away, dozens of undead at the late Golden Immortal stage were actually crowding around an undead at the late Golden Immortal Great Perfection stage.
I have no idea what these ghosts are muttering.
After the ghost, who was at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm, finished listening, a terrifying burst of lightning suddenly erupted from its entire body.
The shock caused all the late-stage Golden Immortal souls nearby to scatter in fear.
A moment later, a cold male voice rang out from the body of the soul that was at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm.
"These outsiders dared to hunt down my army of undead. They deserve to die!"
"Issue the order: all the undead armies shall set out immediately and slaughter all those damned outsiders!"
