Chapter 220: Chapter 73 Devouring (1)

Bone Staff Space.

Dozens of black energies danced wildly, constantly colliding within the space. It was as if prisoners were trapped in a cage, desperately seeking an escape route.

At this moment, the Ghost Taoist’s soul was hidden within, his eyes flickering with a ghostly light, and overwhelming resentment surfaced.

"I can’t outmatch the opponent in terms of physical body. After all, I just possessed an ordinary disciple. The opponent doesn’t understand the mysteries of the Void Spirit Body and only applies it preliminarily. The essence of Hundred Ghosts Old Demon’s Ultimate Ghost Path isn’t physical strength but the ghost specter."

The Ghost Taoist sneered coldly, "Now that I am left with only my soul, I will transform into a soul-devouring ghost specter, invade Lin Yuan’s body, devour his soul, and make it my own."

"Moreover, there are the souls devoured from the Pei family, all refined into ghost specters. When released, they will disrupt his mind."

The Ghost Taoist closed his eyes in thought for a moment. His hands slowly lifted, then crossed instantly, beginning to craft one complex and profound handprint after another.

They left trails of ghostly blue light in the air, weaving a strange talisman chain, like in the night sky. As the talisman changed, the black energies inexplicably grew more agitated.

But they couldn’t escape at all. The moment the talisman was completed, several ghostly lights shot out, merging into the black energies.

The Ghost Taoist watched all of this, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

As the handprints layered continually, the atmosphere within the space became more oppressive, as if even the energy within the space was gathering towards him.

In the depths of the dark curtain at the bottom of the space, a pair of blood-red eyes quietly watched him refine the ghost specters.

The Ghost Taoist muttered incantations, his voice eerie like a fox’s cry. His fingers danced faster and faster, and the light from the handprints grew more intense.

"The True Explanation of Hundred Ghosts, Soul Transformation into Ghost Specter."

With a low shout from the Ghost Taoist, countless black energies exploded from his soul, constantly transforming.

In a breath.

The Ghost Taoist’s face completely vanished, his features piled chaotically together, with only primal greed and desire remaining. His eyes turned into hollow black vortexes, constantly moving across his distorted face.

Within his massive maw, sharp teeth gleamed coldly, his form like a bizarre mantis, a pitch-black soul-devouring ghost specter covered in barbs.

In an instant, seven or eight soul-devouring ghost specters materialized. They bared fangs and claws, emitting waves of chilling howls.

"Activate. Hahaha." The ghost specter into which the Ghost Taoist transformed roared, saliva dripping from the giant maw onto the ground.

On the outside.

Lin Yuan squinted at the conspicuous bone staff.

This bone staff, even in death, the Ghost Taoist held tightly. This he observed carefully.

"Could there be some secret within it?" Lin Yuan did not release his Light Leaving State.

He squatted down again, gently pinched the bone staff with his right hand, and examined it closely.

But the bone staff was snow white like jade, reminiscent of a relic, extremely valuable.

"Imbue it with the True Meaning of the Great Sun and see." Lin Yuan’s mind stirred, "Any object, once invaded by true meaning, has nowhere to hide."

"Let’s see where you are hiding!" His face showed a calm expression, but his heart was secretly vigilant.

Whoosh!

Primal energy and true meaning swirled within, continuously infused.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

Like high-temperature roasting, as the True Meaning of the Great Sun was infused, wisps of white smoke emerged from the bone staff.

"Sure enough, there’s something strange."

Lin Yuan squinted, holding the bone staff a little further away.

For weapons like swords and blades, as he infused them with his True Meaning of the Great Sun, he could gradually feel the blade absorbing the true meaning and eventually manifesting the shape of the blade.

This way, he could bring weapons into the Void Spirit Body as well.

But the bone staff felt entirely different to him. It seemed as if something were wrapped inside it. No matter how much he infused, he couldn’t penetrate completely through it.

But Lin Yuan was in no hurry, at this moment, his energy consumption was minimal.

Continuing to infuse the bone staff with true meaning and energy.

Five breaths later.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but frown.

Because he felt that a special force seemed to be guiding his True Meaning of the Great Sun away without affecting the bone staff.

Lin Yuan increased the infusion power again. Still, there were not much effect.

"What is this?" Lin Yuan suddenly felt like an ignorant fool in this peculiar Canglan Realm, knowing nothing.

"I should ask Brother Zhan Ting."

Thinking of Zhan Ting and the others from the Upper City, they must know the reason.

Without further delay, Lin Yuan moved to Zhan Ting’s side.

Zhan Ting was startled by Lin Yuan’s sudden appearance beside him and couldn’t help but shrink back slightly.

After sensing Lin Yuan’s presence, he sighed, "Junior Brother Lin, you’re too fast."

Lin Yuan smiled and handed over the bone staff, "Brother Zhan, this bone staff is peculiar, I can’t quite figure it out. What’s going on?"

Calming his racing heart, Zhan Ting took it.

He held the bone staff in both hands and infused it with energy as well.

A moment later, his face showed a hint of astonishment, "Array Device?"

"What is an Array Device?"

"Junior Brother Lin." Zhan Ting stepped closer, guiding his energy into the bone staff, and pointing to the faintly visible blood-red patterns, "Look, these symbols are array patterns. No wonder!"

"Junior Brother Lin." Reflecting on Lin Yuan’s situation, Zhan Ting explained, "Array Devices are weapons with array patterns that enhance their effects."

After speaking, Zhan Ting drew his own blade, showing the cracks to Lin Yuan, "Here, when I fought the Ghost Taoist, his bone staff almost shattered my long blade, yet the bone staff remained undamaged. That’s the power of an Array Device."

"Senior Brother, apart from this effect, do Array Devices have other functions?" Lin Yuan nodded and continued to ask.

"Yes, they’re various and extremely complex. Why are you so curious?" Zhan Ting looked up, sensing something might be amiss.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I suspect the Ghost Taoist’s soul is hidden within. I tried to burn him with the True Meaning of the Great Sun, but wasn’t successful."

"Without understanding array patterns, it’s indeed difficult to destroy them." Zhan Ting was equally helpless, "Moreover, Array Devices are very precious, I haven’t been able to obtain one myself."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the bone staff.

At that moment, the bone staff suddenly exploded with a cloud of black energy.

The black energy kept expanding, its aura indistinguishable from the Ghost Taoist’s black flames.

"Senior Brother, step back first."

Zhan Ting knew he couldn’t provide much help at the moment and nodded slightly, "Be careful."

After speaking, Lin Yuan tossed the bone staff, embedding it a yard away.

"It was indeed hidden inside."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

Energy and true meaning surged continuously within him, sweeping towards the bone staff.

Yet the black flames emitted by the bone staff grew more abundant, even stickier, nearly as dark as ink.

The chilling aura continuously spread, and the ground beneath the bone staff froze with a layer of frost.

Lin Yuan heightened his vigilance to the extreme.

Just three breaths later, the black energy forcibly split apart the True Meaning energy gushing from Lin Yuan.

Whoosh!

A three-inch large mantis-like monster suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lin Yuan’s heart sank, as he sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

Boom.

Lin Yuan punched downward.

The black mantis, like blue smoke, continually infiltrated along his energy.

"What is this thing!"

Lin Yuan was shocked, ceaseless energy surged forth, continuously flushing against the black energy.

The rampant energy finally washed away all the black energy.

But in the next moment, a series of strange mantises appeared one after another.

Lin Yuan was greatly surprised.

One was so troublesome; what would he do if several more appeared? Moreover, this thing was both tangible and formless, entirely different from the Void Spirit Body.

Too strange.

Innate wariness filled him with an unreachable feeling.

"Leave this place first."

Lin Yuan’s figure flashed, intending to flee.

The next moment, a gust of sinister wind blew past.

"Hahaha. Got you!"

A burst of wanton laughter abruptly filled Lin Yuan’s mind.
