Chapter 19 Soul-Stealing and Fierce Spirits, Rarely Seen Yin Objects
In fact, what Fang Han didn't know was—
It is extremely rare for a Yin entity to choose multiple transformation paths during the evolution of its soul!
It is only possible to appear under special circumstances, and only when the rare resentful spirit of the ancestral bloodline is successfully triggered!
If Fang Han hadn't poured in a thousand years' worth of true essence in one go, forcibly pushing Nie Xiaoqian's soul to the brink of reversion...
In the end, Nie Xiaoqian will only undergo the most ordinary transformation!
just now.
There's an additional route, though it's unclear.
But Nie Xiaoqian made this choice based on her instinct to become stronger from the depths of her soul!
From this perspective, it seems that Fang Han actually struck gold by accident!
now.
As time slowly passed.
Nie Xiaoqian's transformation lasted for a full half day!
at last……
Amidst anticipation.
He saw the cocoon of resentment, glowing with an eerie light, slowly fade and dissipate.
At the same time, a slender figure reappeared in front of him!
On her white robe, strange patterns, alternating between purple and red, resembling ghostly scribbles, appeared...
It looks even more tragic and dangerous than before!
but.
To Fang Han's surprise—
Nie Xiaoqian's soul form, on the contrary, became more solid and delicate!
Compared to the faint, ethereal shadow it appeared before... now, it resembles a wisp of smoke that condenses but doesn't dissipate!
However, the only thing that made Fang Han feel gratified was—
That pale, delicate face, with a touch of scholarly air, is still there!
She didn't turn into the hideous appearance that an ordinary female ghost or vengeful spirit should have!
now.
Just as Fang Han was carefully examining Nie Xiaoqian.
She gave a very faint smile!
She even turned her head slightly in front of Fang Han in a very humane way, showing off the cuffs of her clothes that had turned purplish-red!
His expression seemed to be seeking praise—
Look, I've become very strong!
Seeing this.
Fang Han smiled slightly.
"Xiaoqian... has made progress."
I couldn't help but laugh and say something.
Then, with a look of anticipation, he opened Nie Xiaoqian's attribute panel!
......
[A Soul-Stealing, Vengeful Spirit] Nie Xiaoqian!
Yin Pact Bond: 100

Innate Ghostly Technique: Soul-Stealing Curse (Can inflict ominous resentment upon an opponent, causing them to become disoriented, beset by misfortune, and suffer calamities...)

Synopsis: Your contracted spirit, aided by a return to its ancestral form, has become an extremely rare and vengeful spirit within the Yellow Springs sequence...
The Netherworld Path hints: The limit of Yin Yuan cultivation for a second-realm vengeful spirit is usually 1,500 years. Rare vengeful spirits can break through this limit... During evolution, the deeper the Yin Yuan cultivation, the more it can compensate for the lack of innate soul body.
......
See Nie Xiaoqian's brand new attribute information!
Fang Han's eyes lit up instantly!
I thought that the first soul evolution would at most allow Nie Xiaoqian to advance to the second realm of vengeful spirit.
But what I didn't expect was—
The infusion of a thousand years of cultivation directly triggered her dormant ancient resentment bloodline!
A phenomenon of ancestral atavism has occurred!
Thus, before undergoing metamorphosis, it evolved to the level of a rare vengeful spirit!
This undoubtedly greatly compensated for her innate defects in her soul!
This directly gave her a more powerful foundation during her transformation at the level of life!
The current attribute information is sufficient to explain everything.
A unique, innate demonic technique was born... the Soul-Stealing Curse!
In addition, it also gained three powerful passive and active skills: poison resistance, corrosion resistance, and extreme poison!
Not only that!
What Fang Han cared about most was—
The transformation of the Soul-Stealing Whisper has enabled it to bear and transmit negative power!
This is similar to the difference between ordinary iron and funerary objects—
The former cannot withstand the added burden of yin energy and resentment...
The latter, however, can add their own true essence or the power of ghost techniques to it!
The destructive power is naturally vastly different!
now.
While excited, Fang Han immediately opened his Yin Pact case file!
Attention was focused on [Companion Yin Techniques]!
[Companion Yin Technique: Soul-Sealing Whispers x1000 (Hint: Current Yin Yuan cultivation level can spawn three Yin-related skills)]
Although his own cultivation had reached more than three thousand years.
However, the number of accompanying Yin techniques available has not changed!
This means that Fang Han can only choose two more spots from the remaining slots!
"Companion Yin Arts should only allow the selection of orthodox skills..."
"As for the innate ghost technique, it originates from the bloodline of soul-devouring, fierce, and vengeful spirits, so I'm afraid I can't choose it."
Fang Han muttered to himself in a low voice.
Although I really wanted to choose the terrifying innate demonic technique "Soul-Stealing Curse".
But he knew that was unrealistic—
After all, he didn't possess the bloodline of a female ghost's vengeful spirit!
and so.
After some deliberation, he finally identified two more of Nie Xiaoqian's skills—
Highly Toxic LV1... Corrosion Resistance LV1...
The former can imbue one's own Yin energy with highly toxic properties!
Furthermore, it can be released and transmitted through soul-capturing whispers!
The latter, however, is resistance.
According to Fang Han's understanding, he could increase his resistance to corrosive forces by using his magical artifacts or soul-capturing whispers!
This greatly enhances practical combat skills!
As for why poison resistance wasn't chosen, the reason is quite simple—
Fang Han believed that, at least for a long time, the preferred fighting style would be ranged suppression!
Simultaneously.
One of the combat techniques he's practicing is using True Essence to protect his body!
If one can spread true essence throughout the body, forming a protective barrier of power like a magic shield or a golden bell shield.
It will significantly improve defense against physical attacks, and even magical attacks!
and so.
Toxin resistance is currently less practical than corrosion resistance.
of course.
As one's cultivation level increases.
The options for accompanying Yin techniques will definitely increase as a result!
So... I'll make it up when the opportunity arises!
after all.
Nie Xiaoqian belongs entirely to him... and she can't run away!
now.
After selecting the accompanying negative postoperative period.
Fang Han felt as if he had suddenly gained two more ghostly techniques!
In addition, there's Nie Xiaoqian's transformation.
His overall combat strength has been completely elevated to a new level!
After calming down a bit, I realized I had calmed down.
Fang Han then turned his attention to the Ghostly Path.
"I wonder if those guys have found any clues about the leader of the Underworld. Let's go in and take a look."
......
Soon, the ghostly whispers echoed in the underworld.
[Brothers... I just saw a vengeful spirit coiled around a bone! It was terrifying! It was dozens of meters long! And it was coiled around an ancient, corrupted tree!]
"Tch, just a Bone-Entangling Yin Fiend, what's there to be afraid of? Come on, give me your location! I'll lead the team to take it down, and tonight I'll treat you all to Fiend Soul Soup!"
[Tens of meters? How many meters exactly? Is it that exaggerated? Could it be the leader of the Underworld?]
[Leader? Are you stupid? Didn't God Fang say that the leader is the king of a horde of resentful spirits? How could a single, bone-binding Yin Sha be the leader? It doesn't make sense in the underworld!]
[Oh, right... the king of the horde of vengeful spirits is the leader. Since this Bone-Entangling Yin Fiend isn't the leader, it shouldn't be strong. Let's just kill it!]
[Come on! Let's team up! Let's raid! Although I'm not the leader, I think we really can't take down this evil creature with just a few people. Location: the northernmost part of Zhenhun Village, just keep walking, you'll see it soon!]
"You all, be careful... Although Fang Shen said that the king of the gregarious vengeful spirits is the leader, the first leader, the Netherworld Bull Demon, didn't seem to be a gregarious one!"
[Don't worry, we'll just test the waters first... If it really is the leader, so many people can hold out for a while. Then we'll call for God Fang in the Ghostly Whisper Path!]
The group chat was buzzing with excitement!
When a contract reveals the location of the Bone-Entangling Yin Sha.
Soon, many people formed teams and charged in!
now……
After reading the message, Fang Han quietly exited Ghostly Whisper Path.
A thoughtful expression appeared on his face!
"A bone-wrapping evil spirit several tens of meters long..."
"Although it's not a gregarious vengeful spirit, the probability of it being a leader is actually quite high!"
Fang Han was making these plans.
In fact.
The reason he said the leader might be the king of the gregarious vengeful spirits was simply to give the contracted members in the group a general direction!
after all.
They live in groups of resentful spirits, and their numbers are so large that they are easier to find!
However, this does not preclude the possibility that the leader is a powerful individual!
and so.
After hearing that those contracts had led to the discovery of a bone-wrapping Yin Sha several tens of meters long.
The first thought that popped into Fang Han's mind was—this is the third leader!
Thinking of this.
His gaze shifted, immediately turning to the north towards the underworld shrouded in gray mist!
"Alright, get to work—"
Fang Han greeted him.
The next second, Nie Xiaoqian floated down and landed right next to him!
Then, she subtly showed off the purplish-red cuffs of her garment!
A wave of eager anticipation emanated from within his soul!
Immediately afterwards, the powerful true essence within Fang Han's body surged wildly into the soles of his feet!
He leaped high into the air!
Boom—
Like a cannonball, it shot towards the gray fog-shrouded underworld to the north!
After his figure completely disappeared.
The spot where I just stood has been left with a large crater, at least five or six meters wide!
The bottom of the pit was still emitting icy cold air!
(Although I haven't fully mastered flying yet.)
(But when the true energy is channeled into the soles of the feet, the explosive speed is simply outrageous!)
With its terrifying propulsive force, even the viscous air in front of it was forcibly torn apart!
In an instant, a pale, explosive phenomenon similar to the sound barrier was created!
With a single leap, a distance of hundreds or even thousands of meters can be covered in the blink of an eye!
that's it.
He leaped repeatedly!
Deafening sonic booms echoed continuously through the desolate, misty forest!
Because it's too fast.
Nie Xiaoqian, who had been floating serenely beside him just moments before.
At this moment, she had no choice but to awkwardly extend her slender white fingers and tightly grab Fang Han's clothes!
They even used threads of resentment!
Only by firmly binding his soul to Fang Han's body could he avoid being thrown off by this terrifying speed!
A flurry of panic and excitement surged through my soul!
'Bang bang bang... bang bang bang... bang bang bang...'
This rapid advance lasted for a full half hour!
Finally, Fang Han arrived at the location that the guys in the Ghostly Path had mentioned!
......
This is a strange underworld region.
Unlike other places, the surrounding area is filled with all sorts of different kinds of skeleton wood demons...
Looking around, all you could see were twisted willow trees!
And they are enormous, with an average height of fifty or sixty meters!
The one in the very middle looks to be over a hundred meters tall!
The enormous canopy of the tree, like a dark cloud, covered a large area!
As gusts of cold wind swept by, the gray-green willow branches swayed like the long hair of a vengeful spirit!
It gives off an indescribable sense of gloom and eeriness!
After arriving here, Fang Han did not rashly step into this strange willow forest.
Instead, they stood on the edge, observing warily.
"Is that 'bone-wrapping' evil spirit here?"
He muttered something to himself, preparing to go in and test the waters.
But Nie Xiaoqian, who was beside him, suddenly moved!
She floated directly to the ground!
Then a continuous, mesmerizing whisper came from his throat!
The next second, that chilling sobbing sound instantly solidified!
It became like an invisible sonic blade imbued with yin energy, piercing deep into the willow forest ahead!
"Swish, swish, swish!" Whoosh whoosh! 』
Wherever it passed, the thick branches of the willow tree were easily pierced!
It was as if there were no obstacles at all!
Only smooth-edged holes remain!
Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's actions, Fang Han instantly fell into thought!
"Is this... using a soul-capturing whisper to sense danger and probe enemy positions?"
Nie Xiaoqian's proactive behavior seemed to have opened a new door for him!
This gave him a completely new understanding of how to use his power!
that's it.
After some thought, Fang Han also imitated Nie Xiaoqian.
A surge of yin energy welled up in my throat!
A chilling, soul-capturing whisper drifted out instantly!
The abundant true energy within his body flowed precisely through the meridians in his throat, merging into this whisper!
In an instant... this captivating whisper, just like Nie Xiaoqian's, instantly coalesced!
It became as sharp as a blade!
Effortlessly overcame all the obstacles in front of him!
Simultaneously.
Just as I had guessed—
He could clearly feel everything that his soul-capturing whisper had "experienced"!
It was as if the area touched by that whisper had become his extended perception!
It can make some vague identification and judgment of objects touched by the aftershocks of whispers, whether they are hard wood or soft soil!
"Although this area is full of Nether Willows, they are all quite ordinary, and we haven't encountered any danger yet."
After making his first preliminary judgment, Fang Han immediately looked at Nie Xiaoqian beside him.
"Alright... there shouldn't be any danger for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped into the eerie willow grove!
however.
Just as he set off—
A deep, muffled thud suddenly came from the depths of the willow grove!
*Crack! Crack! Crack!*
Simultaneously.
One after another, crisp sounds, like invisible silk strings being snapped by tremendous force, rang out!
As for Nie Xiaoqian, it was as if she suddenly suffered a backlash from an invisible, enormous force!
The fragile soul was directly blasted back several steps!
A surge of anger emanated from his soul!
It's obvious—
These were the soul-capturing whispers she had previously sent out to investigate, which were forcibly dispersed by some powerful force!
"Um?"
"Have you found the leader of the Underworld?"
Upon seeing this, Fang Han's eyes lit up!
They were just about to rush in and kill the leader who was hiding there!
But a slender figure in white robes with purplish-red patterns flashed by—
They actually rushed ahead of him!
It is clear.
The Soul-Stealing Whispers were dispersed by the leader, completely arousing Nie Xiaoqian's dissatisfaction and ferocity as a rare vengeful spirit of the second realm!
As a soul-devouring, fierce, and vengeful spirit that has successfully transformed and returned to its ancestral form.
She believed that her dignity as a high-ranking Yin entity had been challenged!
So without even saying hello to Fang Han, he transformed into a blur and charged into the depths of the willow forest!
Upon seeing this, Fang Han immediately smiled.
"Xiaoqian... after her transformation, her temperament has become quite fiery!"
"However, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, with her current strength, she's already at the pinnacle in this first-realm wandering soul-level underworld."
Fang Han muttered to himself in a low voice.
Despite saying that, he immediately circulated his true energy and chased after them!
......
Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...
Only a few minutes had passed.
Fang Han hadn't gotten completely close yet.
From deep within the willow grove ahead, a violent tremor and a loud noise were heard!
Looking up—
Countless enormous, gray-green shadows crashed down from the sky!
It was pounding the ground wildly!
Each lash sent a terrifying tremor through the air!
Accompanied by the groans of the earth!
It was like an earthquake in the underworld!
