Chapter 305: Soul Split

"What happened just now? Could it be that the Soul-Destroying Sword will backfire on its master?" Yuan Ming frowned, his expression uncertain.

Although he found information about the Soul-Destroying Sword from Sha Hao's memory, Sha Hao was not the one who made the sword, so the information he knew was incomplete.

He had actually thought about it a long time ago. The sword energy released by the Soul-Destroying Sword had the ability to ignore the enemy's defense, directly attack the soul, and devour it. Such a fierce and terrifying ability must have a considerable price to use.

Now it seems that this sword can indeed easily cross the level to kill the enemy, but the price is that it will backfire on the master, just like a double-edged sword that hurts others and oneself.

In order to deal with Zuo Qinghui, whose cultivation level was far higher than his, Yuan Ming had almost exhausted his soul power. Facing the backfire of the Soul-Destroying Sword, he had no power to protect himself. Fortunately, he had the trump card of Stealing the Heaven Cauldron.

In fact, if it weren't for the Stealing the Heaven Cauldron's miraculous effect on the soul and soul, he might not dare to embark on the thorny and rugged road of soul cultivation.

Yuan Ming took a deep breath and looked at the Soul-Destroying Sword on the ground beside him. His eyes showed a bit of complexity.

"Huh!" He suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The heat flow from the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron has not stopped until now. It continues to flow out and pour into his soul, and it is divided into two.

Yuan Ming hurriedly looked inside his body with his consciousness. It would be fine if he didn't look, but he was shocked when he saw it.

He didn't know when a crack appeared on his soul. It seemed that it was caused by the fierce and evil spirit of the Soul-Destroying Sword before. Maybe it was too small to notice before. Now, under the blessing of the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron, it not only did not heal, but deepened a lot. It looks like the two parts of the soul may be completely separated at any time.

And the heat flow that was divided into two is being injected into the two parts of the soul divided by the crack.

"How could this happen?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Fortunately, the heart-wrenching soul pain he had previously suffered had subsided. Although the crack had a tendency to deepen, it didn't seem to have much impact on his soul.

In the Five Elements Illusion Formation, Zuo Qinghui had this opportunity to catch his breath. He had already pasted several talismans on his body and took out a pill to swallow. The paleness on his face was getting better.

The golden ruler magic weapon was swirling around him, raising a golden light again, covering his body.

Yuan Ming frowned, and ignored the changes in his soul for the time being. He first dealt with the enemy, and then urged the formation flag in his hand to continue to activate the Five Elements Illusion Formation.

At the same time, he slapped his other hand on his waist, and the King Kong jumped out of the spirit beast bag on his waist, turned into a white shadow, and pounced on Zuo Qinghui.

Huazhi and Lei Yu also went up and down, and went straight to Zuo Qinghui.

Zuo Qinghui didn't care about continuing to regulate the injury of his soul. He pointed to the void with one hand, and the golden ruler flashed and turned into dozens of foot shadows, slashing towards the King Kong.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming made a gesture to activate the five formation flags in front of him. The green shadow above Zuo Qinghui's head flashed, and countless giant trees appeared, like a vast forest.

A huge pressure enveloped Zuo Qinghui, causing him to pause and the speed of the Golden Ruler magic weapon also dropped significantly.

King Kong lowered his body to avoid the attack of the Golden Ruler magic weapon, and clenched his ape claws into a fist, hitting Zuo Qinghui's chest fiercely.

The golden light curtain on Zuo Qinghui's body barely blocked King Kong's attack, but the whole person was knocked back by a huge force.

"Crack"

Three silver lightning bolts shot out from the nearby void and hit Zuo Qinghui's back.

Dozens of purple-black vines shot out from the void on the other side, and the tops condensed into green wooden swords, stabbing Zuo Qinghui's body.

Zuo Qinghui roared, and the golden ruler magic weapon shone brightly, swirling around him at a high speed. A series of ruler shadows emerged densely, crushing the silver lightning and purple-black vines.

He was a Jindan-stage cultivator. Although his soul was severely damaged and his strength was only one tenth of what it was, he was not a foundation-building spirit beast like Huazhi or Leiyu that could deal with him.

Although King Kong's strength was above Huazhi and Leiyu, he was already injured.

Zuo Qinghui's soul was severely damaged before, and this spell made him gasp for breath. He reached out to the storage bag on his waist, and the void beside him fluctuated. A purple spear appeared, with nine blue dragon patterns engraved on the spear body. It was the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear purchased at the auction.

At the same time, a bloody light flashed above his head, and a blood-red cylinder half a foot long and as thick as a fist appeared.

Yuan Ming's face was stern, and he didn't care about the changes in his soul. He cast the crow cry illusion again, and eight soul crows emitted black sound waves together, instantly submerging Zuo Qinghui's body.

If it were his prime, Zuo Qinghui would not be hit so easily, but now his resistance to soul cultivation illusions has greatly decreased, and he immediately fell into the illusion, his body stiffening again.

Yuan Ming gritted his teeth, grabbed the Soul-Destroying Sword on the ground, poured his mana and soul power into it, the sword body made a cheerful and clear sound, and shot out a black sword energy several feet long.

"Cut!"

He shouted and swung the sword in the air.

A black sword energy that was seven or eight feet long and as wide as a door panel shot out, emitting a huge soul suction force, and the nearby flowers, thunder and rain, and even the soul in the body of the King Kong were ready to move, and they even felt like breaking out of their bodies and being sucked away by the sword energy.

The three hurriedly flew back. At this moment, they only felt that the farther they were from the black sword energy, the better.

The black sword energy was as fast as thunder, and it flashed into Zuo Qinghui's head and hit his soul fiercely.

Zuo Qinghui's entire body began to tremble, black light gushed out of his seven orifices, and his sea of ​​consciousness and soul collapsed, directly destroyed by this astonishing sword energy!

The Golden Ruler, the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear, and the Blood-colored Cylinder fell to the ground with a clang due to the loss of control.

Yuan Ming immediately threw the Soul-Destroying Sword to the ground beside him, but this time the Soul-Destroying Sword did not bite back unexpectedly. After leaving his palm, the surface of the Soul-Destroying Sword glowed with a dark light and emitted a suction force.

Groups of scattered soul power gathered and were swallowed by the Soul-Destroying Sword.

The Soul-Destroying Sword trembled slightly, emitting a burst of excited humming. The color of the four runes on the sword body deepened a lot, and it returned to calm after a few breaths.

It is indeed a fierce sword! Yuan Ming was amazed when he saw this.

He pinched the formula to stop the operation of the Five Elements Illusion Array, and immediately closed his eyes and sat quietly, exploring the situation in his mind, and did not even bother to check the spoils.

The heat flow of the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron has basically stopped, but the cracks in his soul have deepened a lot, and the soul power of the two parts is almost no longer flowing, as if it is about to be completely split into two parts.

Yuan Ming saw this and regretted it greatly in his heart.

The problem of the soul is definitely a big problem for a cultivator, especially since he is a soul cultivator.

He thought that with the protection of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, his soul should not be affected too much by a little crack, but now the Heaven Stealing Cauldron seems to have accelerated the complete split of his soul.

Although this split does not seem to have any obvious impact on him at present, who knows what will happen in the future?

At least he has not seen in any classics that a cultivator's soul will be torn or cut open and will be safe and sound, and basically they will face the collapse of the soul.

However, at this point, he also knows that there is no regret medicine in the world, and he doesn't need to dwell on it anymore. If he doesn't make a prompt decision, it may not be as simple as splitting the soul into two, but being killed by Zuo Qinghui, and his body and soul will be destroyed.

When Yuan Ming thought of this, he calmed his mind and concentrated his mind, and operated the Dark Moon Art, trying to repair the soul injury as much as possible.

However, it would be better if he didn't operate the Dark Moon Art. Once he operated this method, the soul power of the two parts of the soul started to operate at the same time, and the crack expanded again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yuan Ming's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped the soul power, but it was too late, the crack had reached its extreme.

With a light "snap", his soul split into two, and a piece of soul, about one-fifth of it, was truly split apart.

Yuan Ming's emotions "boomed" and his heartstrings were instantly raised to the extreme, and he didn't even have time to care about the severe pain in his head. He was like a prisoner about to be beheaded on the execution ground, waiting for the soul to be severely damaged or even collapsed.

However, the situation he expected did not occur. After the soul was split into two, except for a headache, nothing else happened. Everything seemed to be the same as before.

"What's going on? Could it be that the split of the soul is not a big problem?" Yuan Ming was stunned, and continued to look inward with his consciousness to check the soul in his mind.

The larger soul still stood firmly in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness. As before, the surrounding soul power slowly gathered and merged into it.

The incense burner mark once again exuded a stream of heat, which merged into the main soul. The part that was originally missing due to the cutting grew slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that it would be restored in a short time.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized that his soul could still be restored under the protection of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron. No wonder he didn't feel anything unusual.

And the split soul slowly floated in various parts of the sea of ​​consciousness and did not dissipate.

This scene aroused Yuan Ming's interest.

He focused his attention on the split soul, and after careful investigation, he found that the soul power of this part of the soul was not weak, roughly equivalent to two soul crows.

As his thoughts turned to this, the appearance of the split soul suddenly changed, turning into a soul crow, but the color was transparent.

Yuan Ming was very surprised. This soul was so smart. As soon as he thought of the soul crow, the soul immediately turned into a crow? Then can it transform into something else?

As soon as his mind came up, the appearance of the soul crow immediately changed again, turning into a soul bat, exactly the same as Sha Hao's blood bat.

Yuan Ming's mind moved, and he controlled this soul to transform into various things. Its consciousness could spread out and turned into a soul wave like consciousness.

The next moment, this soul flew out of the sea of ​​consciousness, transformed into a soul crow, and flew around the cave.

Yuan Ming looked at the transparent soul crow with a smile, and his smile suddenly froze.

This soul crow looks very similar to other soul crows, but in fact there is an essential difference. It has a certain degree of independent consciousness. It was not obvious in the sea of ​​consciousness just now, but now it is released, and it immediately notices this.

His other soul crows can share vision, and can do other things while controlling the corpse, but they are all completely under his control, but this transparent soul crow is different, and has a certain degree of self-awareness.
