Chapter 76: Soul Battle
In the vast darkness.
Lin Chen, who was quickly evacuating Jiangcheng, felt the fireball rising into the sky behind him, awakening the whole Jiangcheng scene in one fell swoop, and his eyes moved involuntarily.
This was a trap set using the opponent's [Qianli Soul Search] ability, but it was unexpectedly successful.
According to Lin Chen's research, after becoming a foundation-building monk, the soul changes, and the monk's senses are further developed, and he can feel the more real existence and appearance of all things.
You can see the blowing of the wind, hear the sound of flowers, trees, and even a stone.
Everything, at this moment, seems to have become a 'breath' that can be understood and stored.
And among these breaths, there are even traces of someone's journey decades ago.
'According to some theories in past lives, wherever you walk, you will definitely leave traces, which will not disappear even for hundreds of years...'
‘If everyone in the previous life had a special magnetic field, then everyone in this life has their own unique aura. ’
'So the action routes of mortals and monks in the Qi Refining Stage, in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment monks, are as obvious as the traces drawn with a highlighter in the dark night... And this, according to rumors, is where the Spiritual Awareness of the Foundation Establishment monks was born. One of the abilities he possesses - Thousand Miles Soul Locking! ’
As a foundation-building monk, of course he has countermeasures against similar Thousand Mile Soul Locking Souls.
They can also use their own spirit to cover up or even erase the various traces left in the magnetic field of nature.
But the action of 'erasing' will also leave a unique aura imprint.
Foundation-building monks whose soul strength is shallower than the operator cannot see it, but those with higher skills can discover it and deduce more information.
Lin Chen used a flesh and blood substitute as a bait on the surface, and tried his best to restrain his aura and cover up his own traces, so that the other party was not aware of it and was fooled.
But once the opponent reacts and removes the cover of his aura, Lin Chen will be chased by a foundation-building stager!
"The explosion caused by dozens of fireball talismans cannot be delayed for long, so we must leave this city as soon as possible!"
In the darkness of the night, Lin Chen's eyes flashed. Surrounded by the breeze, he stepped a few meters away, and not far in front of him was the city wall of Jiangcheng.
"Who?!" The monks who guarded the city shouted sharply when they saw Lin Chen coming.
However, before he had time to take action, his whole body froze, with a look of fear on his face, because at some point, the black-clothed monk who was flying in front of him kept changing, and finally turned into a monster as high as the city wall, with eyes as big as The terrifying beast of a lantern!
As if encountering a natural enemy, this terrible threat caused by the gap in life levels directly made them freeze in place instinctively.
This is an illusion created by Lin Chen with his spiritual sense, which is enough to make monks whose souls are inferior to his own fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate themselves!
Lin Chen felt a breeze all over his body. For a moment, he was as light as a swallow. He landed on the ground, stepped on the house, and then jumped straight towards the city wall.
"Let's go!" In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had landed on the wall and was about to jump off. At this moment, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
The city wall that was brightly illuminated by the bright light suddenly dimmed, and even within the field of vision, the sky and the earth were filled with a layer of blood.
In Lin Chen's eyes, the land outside the city turned into a piece of blood at some point. The soil was mixed with blood and rolled, forming a terrifying bloody hand as high as the city wall!
"Death!" A cold voice seemed to come from Jiuyou, and then the giant hand that covered the sky fiercely slapped Lin Chen!
Lin Chen couldn't help but change his face. He knew clearly that everything in front of him was an illusion, but if he couldn't break it and was blinded by his five senses, he would die!
Just like being psychologically suggested in a previous life and then locked in a cold storage without opening the cold storage, the person was frozen to death at room temperature. This is physical death caused by psychological influence!
Lin Chen roared angrily, and a ball of cold light exploded in his hand, turning into sword light like meteors all over the sky, shooting towards the bloody hand, but it was only slightly blocked for a moment.
But Lin Chen just wanted this moment of respite!
The competition between souls at the same level not only competes with the strength of the soul, but also competes with imagination.
Because the birth of the soul illusion is a virtual world formed by the confrontation between the souls of both parties.
All its existence is based on the imagination and cognition of both parties. If something beyond cognition appears, the other monk will not be able to understand it, which will cause problems in the operation of his own illusion, and it will be easy for the other party to take advantage of it. Losing control of one's own fantasy.
Foundation-building monks will not start this kind of competition easily, because there are risks involved.
But it's different for low-level monks. Unless the opponent possesses the rare soul treasure that can even be used as a golden elixir, it will be impossible to withstand the soul attacks of high-level monks.
But the black-clothed blood cultivator did not expect that Lin Chen, a monk in the Qi refining stage, would actually have soul power close to that of foundation building. Not only was he not helpless to fight back, he could even seize the initiative in the illusion based on his imagination and have a soul battle with him. Fight!
"You, a foundation-building monk, dare to compete with me, who has experienced the information age, in your imagination?!"
Lin Chen sneered, all his soul power continued to condense, and then a silver-gray metal ball as high as a small hill appeared in his hand, and he chanted:
"The mantis's arm blocks the car with great strength, but Zhuang Sheng's dream of butterfly is in vain. The red flag of the eastern torch dances, and the red light explodes thousands of miles away!"
"Imperial order, summon the True Lord Heping to the altar!"
"According to the imperial edict!"
Accompanied by the sound of thunder, a huge light figure with a ring-shaped crown on his head slowly appeared behind Lin Chen.
It directly merged with the metal ball to form an object with a length of nine meters, a width of two meters, and a round body.
"You demons and ghosts dare to be presumptuous in front of me, the True Lord Heping. You really don't know how to live or die!
Take my magic, [Mass-Energy Equation]!!!"
The blood-colored giant hand covered the sky and the moon, and pressed hard on the city wall.
But at this moment, a little light rose from the endless dark night. In a flash, endless light tore the bloody hand and illuminated the vast sky!
Boom——!!!
The great way is simple, and the great sound is silent, as if a big sun in the sky has fallen into the mortal world.
Thunder flashed, and the light illuminated the world. At this moment, the whole world was white!
"Ah!!!" The black-clothed blood cultivator who flew from a distance felt endless light and heat coming, instantly covering his whole body. At this moment, he felt as if he was in the sun, and the endless flames burned himself, and he couldn't help but let out a wail!
On Lin Chen's side, the scene in front of him shattered and returned to reality, but clusters of burning human-shaped torches appeared beside him!
These were the monks or warriors responsible for vigilance on the city wall. They were also involved in the soul battle between Lin Chen and the black-clothed blood cultivator.
Under the influence of the illusion on the soul, the true qi in their bodies automatically turned into flames and began to burn their bodies!
The soul affects the true qi, the true qi turns into flames, and the flames burn the body. Obviously, this is a spontaneous combustion of the human body caused by the influence of the soul!
Lin Chen didn't pay much attention, but jumped and disappeared directly in the vast night.
Not long after, the figure of the black-clothed blood cultivator appeared on the city wall.
He looked at the ashes on the ground, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
In the soul battle just now, he himself was also affected, and the blood essence, true essence, and soul in his body actually burned automatically!
If he hadn't paid a great price in time to cut off the connection with the illusion, he would probably turn into a ball of flowing fire while flying, and then scatter into ashes all over the sky!
"Who is the other party? A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can actually fight with me in the soul, and has such imagination..." After calming down a little, the black-clothed blood cultivator showed an unconcealable deep cold murderous intent in his eyes.
To be able to do this, the other party either has a soul treasure or is a peerless genius. No matter which one, it is enough to see that the other party is not simple.
He even has a premonition that if he can't kill this boy today, the other party will definitely become their biggest worry in the future!
"No matter what, he can't be allowed to grow up. He must die today, no matter what the price!"
