Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 686: Soul Clan, Special Remnant Soul
This Taoist world is really too dangerous. There is fog all over the sky that blocks the vision. Not only is the direction unclear, but one also has to avoid those sudden cracks in space.

Therefore, Luo Yan needs to be extremely cautious with every step forward.

Now, he also has to guard against the alien creatures that escape from the mist, and he really can't dare to be careless for a moment.

It inevitably makes people feel heavy.

Luo Yan avoided this area and headed further away.

He kept moving forward. He didn't know how much time had passed before he saw a halo again, floating in the mist, shining like a spark that set a prairie on fire.

If you look with your eyes, it's just a little glow, but it's extremely bright.

Luo Yan used his divine eyes to sense repeatedly, but did not detect any great danger, so he slowly moved closer.

The halo was very warm, giving him a cozy feeling as if he was wrapped in sunlight.

When he got closer, Luo Yan discovered that the halo was actually a huge corpse!

In other words, it is a soul body!

This soul was in human form, just like an enlarged version of a human, but its lower body was incomplete, as if it had been cut off out of thin air. Only the mark of an axe engraved between its eyebrows made it look particularly different.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is a bit similar to a giant.

"The blackened axe mark?" Luo Yan carefully recalled the information he had read before.

After a while, he recognized the origin of this soul body. It was the unique creatures in the Dao Realm world - the Soul Clan!
The Soul Clan does not have a fixed form, but is composed of the purest soul energy. However, it is similar to the Nascent Soul of a cultivator, and is an independent individual with a complete consciousness.

They can be in human form, monster form, bird form, etc., all are possible.

The difference between the Soul Clan and ordinary soul bodies lies in the soul strength and independent consciousness between the two.

The former is a real living being, while the latter is in a state of blurred consciousness, like a beast in the mortal world, and has not yet truly transformed into a monster.

Luo Yan gently moved his hand closer, and when he touched the soul corpse, he suddenly saw a sword light cutting through the sky, coming from the darkness, cutting the void, and cutting the heaven and earth in half.

This soul corpse was also cut into two pieces by the attack of the sword light.

"Humph"

Luo Yan felt a powerful sword intent that blinded his eyes. A muffled groan came from his throat, and his entire soul and body shook.

Fortunately, perhaps it was because the imprint of sword intent carried by the sword light lingered for too long, so its power was less than one hundredth of what it was.

The discomfort that Luo Yan felt only lasted for a short while.

'Om! '

The sword imprint disappeared, and the soul clan corpse also turned into a spot of light and dissipated, then gathered into a ball of the purest soul energy, which was absorbed into Luo Yan's body.

"Well, I was lucky. Although it was a little thrilling, I still picked up a ball of soul power for free."

Luo Yan woke up from the pressure of the sword light and muttered softly.

I don’t know what kind of powerful existence made the move, but the sword intent has not dissipated for such a long time after it was slashed out, and it still has residual power now. It is really too terrifying.

With a "pop" sound, the soul power merged into his body, and Luo Yan suddenly felt an extreme coldness, followed by a long darkness.

An extra memory appeared in his mind.

In the darkness, Luo Yan seemed to be wandering aimlessly, without direction or light, as desolate as death.

Staying in a place like this for a long time is enough to drive people crazy!
During this period, Luo Yan saw many similar soul bodies, and then he devoured them without mercy.

As Luo Yan devoured more and more of his own kind, his body became larger and larger, and the fire of his soul became more and more vigorous.

Slowly, he felt his body glowing.

No, rather, it is a special kind of soul light that can only be seen by pure soul bodies.

At that moment, Luo Yan saw countless soul creatures and extraterritorial creatures emerging from nothingness, born from the mist, and then rushing towards this side madly.

Many of those soul creatures are not in shape, but just a group of special energy, a small part of soul fragments, which seem to be the remains of some creatures after their death.
No one knew how long this situation lasted. Luo Yan couldn't even remember how many extraterritorial creatures he had devoured. Even his memory had become a little fuzzy.

He only knew that every time he devoured a soul, his own soul would become stronger.

Finally, all the memories faded away, and Luo Yan finally woke up from that time of nostalgia.

At this time, he found that in addition to his head feeling a little swollen, the origin of his soul had actually increased a little!

If there were a few more corpses of the Soul Clan, his soul power might be perfected in an instant!
But Luo Yan knew that it was almost impossible to come across such an opportunity for free again.

After all, although his luck is good, it is not so good that opportunities will come to him on their own!

However, after acquiring some memories of the Soul Clan, Luo Yan's soul body mastered the instinct to sense those soul fragments, and his spiritual perception became sharper than before.

He moved forward in the mist and captured many fragments of souls.

Luo Yan looked closer and found that it was a ball of pure energy, pure energy that could be absorbed by the soul!

He immediately became interested and wanted to observe the differences of this special energy from multiple dimensions to find out where it came from.

Unfortunately, in the end, nothing was gained.

In desperation, he had to swallow it in one gulp.

In the following time, Luo Yan continued to devour soul fragments, and the strength of his own spiritual consciousness was growing bit by bit.

Perhaps, if he stayed here for a long time, just by absorbing those soul fragments floating from the void, he might be able to make his soul complete.

This is a treasure land for the soul!
"It is rumored that the soul fragments in the Dao Realm world were left behind from the underworld."

"When a living being dies, its soul will be broken into countless pieces, and some of them will be absorbed here."

Luo Yan thought of the rumors about the world of Tao Realm, and felt that although this strange world and the ancient secret realm in the lower world had the same origin, they were actually very different.

The world of Taoism seems to be transforming into a real spatial medium.

As for all matters in the underworld, even the immortal mountain of Five Finger Mountain knows very little about it.

What Luo Yan could find out were basically some gossips.
This wandering life lasted for a long time, and Luo Yan also devoured countless soul fragments, allowing his spiritual power to increase again.

It seems that the world of Taoism is a special place for cultivation.

As time passed, the number of soul fragments in this area became fewer and fewer. Finally, it would take several days for a soul fragment to appear.

Luo Yan didn't care and continued to explore deeper into the mist.

Luo Yan knew very well that this was because he had just entered the world of Dao Realm and was at the outermost edge of this world, so he could not encounter the creatures in the True Spirit Realm.

It is far from the time for those powerful creatures to appear.

Keep going forward, it's other people's territory!
Two months later.

"Don't cross the boundary, otherwise I will swallow you!" A vague divine voice sounded and fell into Luo Yan's ears.

Luo Yan was slightly startled, and immediately realized that he had touched the territory of other creatures. "I don't believe it!"

Luo Yan also responded with a divine thought, and flew forward quickly, full of murderous intent.

The rules in the world of Tao are very simple. Either I swallow you to increase my soul power, or you swallow me to increase my spirit power.

This is a very cruel rule of raising poisonous insects, a devouring rule where either you die or I die!
"eat"

In an instant, the void cracked, and a figure with a powerful energy walked out, carrying misty clouds and rushing towards Luo Yan.

It is not a real living being, but a soul creature, and has not yet completely taken human form.

Once a human form is born, it can be called a soul creature. But now it is only in the early stage of the soul creature.

Similar to the infancy of humans.

"Buzz!"

A strange wave surged out, breaking the tranquility of the space. It spread like ripples on the water and imprisoned Luo Yan in an instant.

This is a terrifying energy different from spiritual power that is surging and rippling here, as if the light of the soul is about to collapse. It is extremely shocking.

‘Wow! ’

Amidst the bright lights, a green figure rose up. He had a slender figure, clear eyes, and rushed over with surging soul energy.

In a moment, there was a terrifying sound of thunder and lightning, "crackling", which kept bombarding, like human breathing, and seemed very regular.

In the end, Luo Yan won the battle of soul light.

He practiced the "Eight Trigrams Soul Tempering Method" and continuously absorbed this ball of pure soul energy.

Not long after, another complicated memory flooded into Luo Yan's mind, and it took him a long time to recover.

"These memories are no different from those of the previous soul race creatures, but the strength of their soul origins is too different. Half of a soul race corpse is enough to match dozens of such soul energies."

Luo Yan whispered, and gained a deeper understanding of the difference between soul creatures and soul energy bodies.

Then he hit the road again.

However, there were very few soul fragments in this area, and they were obviously found and devoured by the energy body.

Another four months passed, and Luo Yan devoured two souls again, further increasing his spiritual power.

One day, he came to the next area and saw two souls, one big and one small, whizzing past like the wind.

The larger soul seemed to be chasing the smaller soul.

The two surging soul lights continued to collide, and even Luo Yan's Taoist body resonated with them, with an inexplicable repressive force.

This is a soul body that has almost transformed into a human form, but its face is still blurry. It is almost a soul creature.

"Eat, eat. Eat you guys."

The moment the blurred soul body saw Luo Yan, it immediately gathered a large amount of soul light and rolled towards Luo Yan.

In an instant, the void was cracked by the invasion, it was extremely terrifying, and the divine power shook the world!

At this moment, Luo Yan felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The space around him was confined and he could hardly move.

Obviously, the opponent's soul power is very strong, there is an essential gap.

Luo Yan frowned, then transformed the power of his soul into thunder to resist.

Suddenly, he found that his pressure was reduced a lot. Although he was still suffocating, he was finally not as depressed.

‘Chi! ’

The thunder transformed from the light of the soul descended upon the world, shaking the area violently with continuous sound of electric arcs, as if an ancient thunderstorm were taking place.

The blurred soul body was also affected, and it trembled subconsciously, as if it was afraid of the thunder.

Although he was instinctively afraid, the other party quickly adapted, changed his momentum, threw away the soul body, and rushed towards Luo Yan like a human-shaped ferocious beast.

Then, a slightly dazzling gray light flashed like a falling meteor, smashing forward with terrifying power.

'puff! '

There was a huge collision between the two sides, and the fluctuations of soul power were intense, creating circles of ripples.

"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"

The roar of lightning was incessant and powerful, like a series of exploding and buzzing sounds, blazing in the fog.

In just a moment, the two exchanged dozens of blows, with lightning and thunder, and strange phenomena occurring frequently.

The stalemate lasted for only half an incense stick of time. Relying on his rich combat experience, Luo Yan found a flaw and shattered the soul body in one fell swoop.

In the end, only a ball of pure soul energy remained.

"It's indeed a bit tricky," Luo Yan said to himself.

The source of power in the Dao Realm world is soul power, so when he fights with those special creatures, there are not as many strange phenomena as in the real world.

Therefore, it is difficult to exert the power of the laws of heaven and earth in this strange world. At least with Luo Yan's current soul power, it is difficult to do so.

Even at the level of magical powers, if they are performed with soul power, there is a sense of awkwardness and the power is greatly reduced.

After all, the power of spiritual consciousness is not very suitable for fighting when it is at a low level.

"Ok?"

Just as Luo Yan was about to collect this ball of soul energy, he caught a glimpse of a figure slowly retreating from the corner of his eye, and it was about to disappear completely in the fog.

Luo Yan's eyes focused, and five arcs of electricity appeared on his palm, and then turned into a large net of thunder, covering the area in the shadow.

Then, he dragged and pulled the soul body in front of him.

"I am willing to split my soul and spirit, just to save my life."

"Don't eat me. Don't eat me"

The voice was intermittent and incoherent, and the soul fluctuations were very unfamiliar. It seemed that the person rarely used spiritual power to communicate with people.

But such words still made Luo Yan feel something was wrong, and he sent out a wave of divine thoughts, asking, "Are you human?"

"Yes, yes!" the soul responded.

"Are you also a cultivator from the True Spirit Realm?" Luo Yan asked curiously, feeling that the other party was a little weird and lacked a sense of completeness.

There's an awkward feeling that's out of place and very discordant.
