Bright!

Ai Li suddenly grabbed behind her, and Xu Le also stretched out his hand towards her.

But the two people's fingers crossed each other, and Xu Le's body actually appeared in a ghostly state at this moment.

Seeing Ai Li's slightly anxious expression, Xu Le calmed down.

"Don't panic, gulu gulu gulu... I'm, gulu gulu gulu..."

It turns out that people can really drown around the ghost ship!

Xu Le stretched out his hand towards the ground and slowly sank into the ground.

…

Under the ground, Xu Le can actually see what is happening on the ground.

But his body was still sinking. It felt like he was looking at a screen in the water but couldn't touch anything on the screen.

After the previous experience of choking on water, Xu Le no longer had the intention to drink water again.

The tree of soul stabilized his mind, allowing Xu Le to feel the river-like state around him.

However, what flowed around him was not water, but wisps of blue liquid soul, mixed with a large number of wailing souls.

These wronged souls will actively release a large amount of negative energy. Fortunately, this energy will be absorbed and filtered by the tree of souls. Otherwise, Xu Le might not be able to survive being mixed in such a river of souls.

The only thing that surprised Xu Le was that he had been swimming in the current of the River of Souls for almost 1-2 minutes.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable. Even if he didn't take the initiative to breathe, it didn't seem to matter. This state...

"Breathing underwater? The ability Suicune gave me can actually take effect in the river of souls?

In this way, this person's ability to breathe underwater is a bit strong. I'd better be polite next time I see Suicune.

Ask it what other awesome abilities it has that can grant blessings, fruits, etc., 3-5 are easy to mention! "

Xu Le felt his condition. He felt that he could still maintain his breathing for 15-20 minutes.

Although this time is not short, he must act.

It takes 15-20 minutes to find the exit of the River of Souls.

…

On the ground, Xu Le and the ghost ship disappeared at the same time.

Ding Ke had already jumped off the toad, and it scratched the ground with its small cat paws, but the ground was a real cement road!

Where was Xu Le taken?

Meow! ~

boom! Ai Li slammed the ground, but there was still no reaction at all, let alone smashing out a portal with a hammer.

"Hey!" Ai Li was a little annoyed. If she had just focused more on Xu Le, this kind of thing might not have happened.

Ding Ke stretched out his paw and scratched Ai Li's trousers.

Ai Li looked at the black cat strangely. Black cats are unlucky things. This is the same saying in almost all cities, but Xu Le seemed to love the cat very much. This behavior did not happen once or twice.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Alley felt a little stupid. She actually asked a cat a question and vaguely expected the cat to answer her question. It was so stupid.

However, under Alley's hesitant gaze, the black cat Dingke stood up on his feet.

It points to the place where the battle is most intense on the far side.

Meow meow meow! ~

Ai Li's mouth twitched. She didn't have Xu Le's ability to understand Ding Ke.

But Ding Ke's almost human actions still surprised her. What do you want to tell me?

Ding Ke raised his eyebrows, why is this dog so stupid?

No, all dogs are stupid, not just this one.

The cat's paw pointed again, and then pointed to the place where Xu Le disappeared before.

Meow!

"You mean, where is Xu Le?" Ai Li felt that the world had gone crazy, and a cat was actually pointing her at such a time.

Ding Ke nodded at this time, indicating that he was correct.

Meow!

Alley was very confused and hesitant. Under normal circumstances, few people would take the initiative to believe in a cat.

What's more, she is also a high-level warrior.

But at this time, Levis, who had been silent until now, suddenly said:

"I think Ms. Alley can actually trust Lord Ding Ke. Lord Ding Ke is an amazing being."

"Ding Ke...sir?" Ai Li looked at Levis.

"Yes, that's what my great-great-grandmother told me."

Keep your chest up! Hold your head high!

Ding Ke looked at Levis with satisfaction. This kid is quite sensible.

With Levi's approval from the warlock, Alley finally nodded.

"Okay, then be careful."

"I'll go with you." Wang Shu, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two parties, also said.

Ai Li glanced at Wang Shu. Wang Shu's strength was very good, at least the kind she recognized. He also had extremely good strength among level 3.

What's more, he also has the fruit ability of the golden light tree, which is very guaranteed.

"good."

After the two left, Ding Ke jumped back onto the toad's head.

The toad raised its eyebrows slightly, as if it didn't like having such a little thing standing on its head, but it also had a feeling that this thing wasn't easy to mess with.

How to do it?

boom!

There was a burst of white smoke, and Ding Ke fell from mid-air.

It scratched around in annoyance, but the toad had already run away. At this time, it couldn't catch it even if it tried to catch it.

Meow! ~

…

Xu Le in the river looked around and hesitated slightly.

It's interesting that the Soul Ferryman pulled him in here and didn't continue to attack him.

The entrance to this river is actually the soul ferryman's boat. Maybe you can get out by finding the ferryman's boat.

Xu Le followed the underground river of souls to the far end. His swimming skills were not very good, but at this time, he still had to swim a little.

He swam towards the north, and as he swam, the current of the River of Souls seemed to become more and more rapid.

Before, he had to make a show of doing a breaststroke kick.

But even if he doesn't move now, the current will take him to a certain place.

Xu Le, who felt something was wrong, took out the black staff and turned it into an umbrella shape, the same form that Ding Ke had used.

Hanging upside down in an umbrella shape, the water flow can be slower than before.

There are more and more wailing souls around. They are struggling to escape, as if there is something terrible ahead.

But the current of the River of Souls is too fast, and these people who are struggling to escape cannot escape at this time.

As the exit approached, Xu Le's body began to float towards the upper level of the River of Souls.

After gradually getting closer to the ground, he saw clearly what was on the ground!

Siege!

Zion's law enforcers, masters of warlocks and warriors, as well as a large number of law enforcers, and various weapons and equipment are all bombarding a strange thing.

They are hunting down this weirdo.

And this one is weird...it looks like a human and an animal, 4-5 meters tall, with thick hair on its lower body, and is kneeling on the ground barefoot.

The upper body is naked, with explosive muscles covering the whole body. There are many scars on it, and each scar looks different, as if it is the trace left after experiencing various battles.

It has red hair like a lion, one hand is holding the ground, and the other hand is holding a big sword like a giant door panel.

Okay, maybe this thing is not a sword, but maybe a door panel sword, or a sledgehammer or axe.

In short, it's just not a normal conventional weapon.

Because it was facing away from Xu Le, Xu Le couldn't see what its face looked like.

[Yam Luo, level 5 weird, Lord Gu Yinduo. 】

The introduction of Yama is very simple. There are only 3 pieces of information marked on it by the ancient Yinduo secret language.

Name, rank, Lord Guyinduo.

But the sense of oppression brought by Yama is completely different from that of the mute girl, the soul-singer, and the old man Ge, the soul ferryman. There is no need to compare.

The power of the lord is too powerful!

Even across the river between soul and reality, Xu Le can feel the strong mental energy emanating from it.

Anger and fear.

Xu Le knew very well that among the masters besieging Yama, several of them had psychic shields.

Now that he is very close, Xu Le can feel the stronger fear and anger being absorbed by Guyin Duo's leaves and flowing towards him.

The fear and anger these masters feel all originate from Yama.

It's polluting, polluting this area, polluting the land of Zion.

When Xu Le saw Gu Yinduo's polluters in the past, his feelings were not that strong. His understanding of the word pollution was limited to injuries and infections in battles.

But Yama is different.

Even across the lake of souls, Xu Le could feel its pollution.

There is no way for a weak person to participate in such a battle for too long. The anima of fear and anger will devour warriors who are not mentally determined enough!

After all, not everyone has enough willpower to fight against anima.

The battle on the ground continued, with ice, fire, darkness, light, and various spells bombarding Yama's body.

But the blows of these spells were all blocked by Yama with his own body and the big sword that looked like a door panel.

The surrounding shelling continues, and there are signs of increasing intensity.

Although the body of the level 5 lord is strong, it cannot withstand such magical attacks and artillery bombardments.

The flesh and blood were blurred in waves, but they were repaired inexplicably.

Xu Le always felt a familiar feeling when he saw Yama's flesh and blood repaired.

"This thing is... the realm of mother trees?"

Xu Le knew very well that in the Mother Tree Realm, whether it was him, Chi Xiao, or other Destiny Fruit holders who could reach the Mother Tree Realm.

They can all be reborn unlimited times with the help of the special state of the Mother Tree Realm.

It was rebirth, not resurrection, because he did not die, and even if his soul was shattered, it could be reorganized in just a few dozen seconds.

Therefore, the battles and hostilities within the realm of the Mother Tree are meaningless.

Yama's current state is the same as that of Xu Le and others in the Mother Tree Realm, almost an immortal existence.

Under normal circumstances, even a weird level 5 lord would have given up on such an intensive artillery bombardment.

But Yama just carried it hard, struggling on the ground, roaring, and roaring in despair.

At this moment, the soul ferryman appeared next to Yama.

"Lord Yama, I have brought you the most tender and delicious soul. Please enjoy it slowly."

With the appearance of the soul ferryman, Yama's angry anima also reached its extreme.

Roar! ~

Ignoring the bombardment of artillery fire, it let out a roar, raised the door panel sword in its hand, and struck at the soul ferryman.

boom! Boom boom!

Two or three large craters were made on the ground by it, but the artillery fire and spells that continued to appear around him were still suppressing Yama.

It really wants to die, but it cannot die at this time and can only continue to be tortured here.

Roar!

Letting out another roar, Yama rushed towards the ghost ship crazily, but the soul ferryman on the ghost ship seemed to be guiding him deliberately.

Old Man Ge paddled the boat and led Yama towards the residential area.

The general headed by the law enforcer quickly shouted:

"We can't let it go to residential areas. Increase the firepower and suppress it."

"yes."

There was continuous artillery fire, and Yan Luo, who rushed towards the residential area, was suppressed again.

It roared and retreated, its body's injuries recovering again and again, and pain and anger constantly tormenting its mind.

Suddenly, Yama held the door panel sword in his hand and threw the sword directly in the shape of a boomerang.

"careful!"

The rotating war sword was unable to stop it at all, and the sturdy spiked rolling-headed chariot was shattered by one blow.

Although the vehicle explosion in the action movie did not occur, the rolling tank was indeed cut into two pieces with the man and the vehicle.

With one successful blow, Yama rushed directly towards the law enforcer army, witnessing a massacre.

In the desperate eyes of several low-level warriors, Luo Ning, the general of the law enforcers, fell from the sky, and his body instantly expanded.

2 meters, 3 meters, all the way to 5 meters, the upright veteran is a head taller than the Yama in front of him.

Soon, Luo Ning punched out in his giant form.

And Yan Luo responded with the same punch.

boom!

Yama flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The veteran Luo Ning's condition was not ideal either. He took a few steps back with difficulty and hit the wall behind him.

In order not to cause too much damage to the city, he himself removed more power than Yama.

If he flew out like Yama, he would suffer less damage, but the sweat beads on the giant's forehead and the slightly trembling arms already showed that the veteran was injured...

Although the power of the Giant Fruit is powerful, the essence of the veteran is still a level 4 warrior.

He has not reached the realm of warrior energy. In other words, purely in terms of the realm of warrior, the veteran is not even as good as the former Bai Jing.

He was able to fight Yama, but it was only due to the increase brought by the Giant Fruit.

"Sir, it it..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm here. Continue the fire suppression and contact the Warlock Group to prepare for hunting big arrows."

"yes."

Underground, as the soul river flows, Xu Le in the river is getting closer and closer to the battlefield. The collision of pure power between the giant and Yama just now made him feel a little surge.

"A warrior who can compete with a level 5 lord! He is much stronger than Alley."

The river of soul becomes clearer in Guyinduo’s vision.

The rapid river made it almost impossible for Xu Le to stabilize his body. Xu Le estimated that at this speed, he would be thrown onto the soul river soon.

Although this layer of river surface is like a mirror, Xu Le has clearly felt its hardness before. He quickly turned the black staff in his hand into a black sword, and then pierced the black sword into the surface of the River of Souls.

Ding!

As the black sword penetrated, the rhythm of Xu Le being washed away finally slowed down.

He looked in front of him with some horror. The ghosts in the soul river were squeezing towards this place. This was a place similar to a vortex.

All souls will be crushed after getting close to the vortex, and become a special kind of fuel flowing upward.

And at the end of this small channel, there is a hairy thin line.

Xu Le didn't know if he should call this thing a thin thread. In short, it was white with many velvet thorns floating on it.

The final end of this velvet thread will spread into a large number of filaments, which are connected to the Yama on the ground, continuously providing it with the energy in the soul river.

Seeing this, Xu Le finally understood why Yama had the ability to be reborn almost infinitely.

It turns out that the whirlpools and thorns here are providing it with soul energy.

"The thread that controls the soul? Is it from a puppet? It doesn't feel like..."

Xu Le couldn't analyze the behavior of this Yama. It showed extreme anger on the ghost ship, which already showed that it and the Soul Ferryman were not weird in the same system.

Then how did this Yama appear here?

Xu Le thought while looking towards the spiral at the exit.

This is indeed the exit, but Xu Le feels that if he wants to get out from here, he may be turned into meat and become a member of the soul nourishment.

"How should we get out now?"

Click! ~

The place where the tip of the black sword penetrated shattered a little, and Xu Le's body suddenly moved forward, almost being sucked into the vortex.

"Gan, I almost got cold!"

Xu Le used his feet to hold the black sword again while forming a seal with one hand.

"Spell-gulugulugulugulu...fuck! @% # "

Although Xu Le did not use the spell correctly, as he formed the seal, a stream of spiritual energy was still drawn out.

He succeeded and successfully summoned several living corpses.

Then, the bodies of these living corpses were immediately smashed into pieces by the soul vortex, and bit by bit they turned into some kind of corrupt substance, flowing towards the Yama who was fighting the veteran.

"It's over, it's no use..." Xu Le thought.

Yama, who had lost his mind, had no regard for the life and death of mere humans. He suddenly jumped up, grabbed the door panel sword from the previously shattered chariot, and rushed towards the giant veteran.

Veteran Luo Ning picked up a mace that was similar in shape to Alley's, but was a bit larger from the truck nearby.

Xu Le doesn't quite understand why Zion's senior warriors like to use this kind of giant iron rod weapon. Maybe it's because this kind of weapon makes it easier for them to exert their power? Please ask again when you have the opportunity in the future.

Yama's body approached rapidly. In terms of speed, it was much faster than the veteran.

The blessing of speed will provide it with too much additional impact. Facing this blow, the veteran's face was very solemn.

Mace and greatsword collide.

boom!

The giant sword struck directly at Yama's shoulder. Starting from his shoulder to his heart, everything was shattered by this blow.

The veteran's condition was also in extremely poor condition, and his fingertips were covered in blood and cracks.

Even he couldn't resist such a heavy blow just now.

At this time, many bones in his body have been broken. If this continues, he may not be able to continue fighting with Yama.

Yama fell to his knees on the ground, as if he was about to die.

The veteran kicked the half-dead Yama away, and then shouted to the law enforcer on the side:

"What are those warlocks doing?"

"Preparing, Lord Luo Ning."

"Ahem." Veteran Luo Ning coughed violently. He knew without looking at him that he had definitely coughed up a lot of blood.

But there was no other way now. He couldn't show weakness or retreat.

We can only rely on those warlocks to seal Yama!

The veteran glanced around. Zion's urban area was destroyed like this. This was definitely not the result the council wanted to see.

Their defense work has been done to the extreme, and the results are very good, even if the battle situation is very tragic, the black tide is unprecedentedly fierce.

They were also able to keep the black tide at bay, with only a few flying species breaking through the defenses.

Moreover, the flying monsters will be immediately killed by the city's defenses, so as to cause no harm to the citizens as much as possible.

But where do these sudden weirdness come from?

After Yama was kicked away, there was another burst of fierce artillery fire. Its body had already been shattered, but even so, the endless energy was still repairing its body.

The broken heart, chest, and shoulders were repaired again by the continuous infusion of soul power.

However, there was another huge wound left on his body, which was the wound on his shoulder just now.

As the body was reshaped, Yama's anger finally broke through the level 2 warning line.

Under the gaze of Xu Leguyin from multiple perspectives, Yama looked up to the sky and roared, and actively began to absorb the red moon spirit floating in the air.

When Red Moon + Ancient Sound + Anima are combined, a more powerful monster will be born.

This set of formulas is still satisfactory even for a Level 5 Lord Weird.

Yama lay on the ground, its body twitching.

The originally very dim red moonlight seemed to become brighter because of its fiery red hair.

Xu Le, who was squatting under the water, had already seen that Yama had completely sublimated his anger and became the medium for the energy of Gu Yinduo and Hong Yue to blend.

It is undergoing secondary distortion!

"He's deforming, stop him!" veteran Luo Ning roared.

He wanted to continue moving forward, but his huge body suddenly staggered, and then he fell to one knee on the ground.

Yama absorbed more and more moon spirits, and its originally animalistic face actually became softer at this time.

Old Man Ge, the soul ferryman on the ghost ship, looked at all this with a smile on his face. It seemed that what he was most looking forward to was about to happen.

But just when Yama was about to break free from the shackles and evolve into a more advanced existence again, some mixed filth suddenly flowed into its body along with the soul thread.

Yama's expression suddenly froze, and his evolution also stopped.

His face, which had gradually softened before, slowly tightened, and his expression became ferocious again.

Then, an incredible scene occurred.

Something strange seemed to be mixed into Yama's angry soul.

It lay on the ground and stuck out its tongue, then touched its lower body.

But when it touched it, it discovered that it had no private parts.

It is a non-fertile creature, a weird creature born of order and anger. He is an angry lawful one.

But it seems very outrageous for a lawful person to touch his crotch.

Yama, who had always been angry, actually dissipated some of his angry anima at this time, and his eyes were a little blank, as if he didn't understand.

It is obviously a sexless creature, so why does it have lustful impulses?

To put it another way, since it has the impulse of lust, why doesn’t it have that thing?

Normally, shouldn’t all male creatures have it?

Where does this sentiment come from?

Yama has no sex, so it is impossible for it to produce lust.

It can only generate anger, fear, and release fear and anger.

The cramming of the soul thread brought it something very special and very pure.

Shattered zombie anima.

As we all know, Xu Le's anima is very limited, although he has worked very hard to accumulate other types of anima.

But there is actually only one kind of mental energy that is really willing to be used, lust.

He summons all weirdness, and the anima he provides is essentially lust.

And it was because Yama absorbed this lust that he interrupted the secondary distortion.

No one expected that a small episode would gradually cause a bug in a weird mutation, an error.

Xu Le seemed to have guessed this, so he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Oh, I seem to have interrupted something big without realizing it..."

At this time, the soul ferryman who had been drifting had also noticed that something was wrong with Yama, and the expected secondary distortion did not appear.

He soon discovered the cause of the matter. Xu Le in the River of Souls... was actually not dead?

How did he survive in the river of souls for 20 minutes?

Shouldn't the resentment, anger, and fear around him have been swallowed up long ago?

Even if his mind is extremely strong and will not be swallowed up by anima, the corrosion of the river of souls in those 20 minutes should kill him, right?

Even if even if...well, even if he could resist this kind of corrosion with his spiritual power, then he should drown, right?

Why didn't he die? Why is the release of lust disturbing the ritual?

jingle!

With the sound of a bell.

The ghost ship actually appeared above Xu Le.

With the appearance of this ghost ship, Xu Le discovered that the previously closed soul lake had actually opened, which meant that he could swim up at this time.

But just as he was about to swim up, the rough paddle knocked him off.

"Gulu, gulu, gulu... you are so gurgling..."

Xu Le was knocked deep into the river of souls.

The ferryman standing on the bow stretched out his hands and used some inexplicable power of ancient sounds to drive the soul river under his feet.

The whirlpool soul thorns originally connected to Yama's body suddenly broke.

The vortex turned sharply downward and began to extend deeper into the river of souls.

As it rotated and stirred, Xu Le himself was dragged into a deeper area by this torrent of souls. He wanted to struggle, but the current situation made it impossible for him to struggle at all.

The soul thorn slowly wrapped around his body, dragging Xu Le towards the endless depths.

He was getting farther and farther away from the lake, that is, the ground, and his vision had become a little blurry.

In a daze, Xu Le seemed to see Ai Li's figure.

When he saw Ai Li rushing towards Yama with a mace, Xu Le was sure that all this was true.

Are you here to find him? She can't defeat Yama...

The effect of underwater breathing is getting worse and worse. Xu Le has already felt a strong sense of chest tightness. He needs to breathe normally. If this continues, he will really be dragged to death...

As the river deepened, Xu Le also felt that the souls around him were getting stronger and stronger.

They were no longer afraid of him, and gradually entangled themselves in his body, and some even began to try to penetrate his spiritual space and enter the world of the Tree of Souls.

"How to do how to do?"

Xu Le asked himself twice, once there was no answer, and the other time there was no answer either.

As he fell, everything around him became darker and darker.

He didn't know what was in the deepest part of the River of Souls. In the endless darkness, he seemed to see something like eyes.

Is that the soul of some powerful monster? What kind of territory does this place belong to?

Suddenly, Xu Le felt a pain in his chest. The soul thorn that was dragging him actually pierced his skin. Was it trying to take over his body?

Xu Le felt like he was about to die. He looked at the lust branch in his mental space. This thing was the core of Gu Yin Duo's heart energy. He wanted to try to activate this thing so that he would have the characteristics of Gu Yin Duo's creatures at this time.

Thus, like Yama, it absorbs the surrounding souls through the effect of soul thorns.

But Lust Branch looked submissive, feeling like a passerby employee who was fishing in the water and didn't listen to orders at all.

"I'm almost dead, and you won't let me use it?"

In desperation, Xu Le suddenly felt a sense of comfort. It was because the Soul Tree actively absorbed those restless emotions for him.

Xu Le suddenly stopped struggling. He immersed his consciousness in the spiritual world and looked at the tree of soul quietly.

Xu Le had been unable to figure out a problem before.

Why when he was promoted to level 2, the anima he actively sublimated was fear, but he was never able to successfully form the core of fear, which is the fear tree...

He could even succeed in lust, something he had given up on.

Why not fear?

Thinking about it now, Xu Le feels that he has always overlooked one thing, and that is the tree of soul itself!

It is something that has existed since Xu Le traveled through time.

Therefore, Xu Le has never regarded the Soul Tree as a product that is comparable to the results of cultivation. Its existence is more like an extra talent, a golden finger, and a link.

Now imagine on the other hand, is it possible that the tree of soul itself is a kind of ancient sound multi-psychic core?

It is from fear that everything grows.

So when I was forming the core of lust, I grew branches of lust.

And because it itself is based on fear, it never grew branches of fear.

Because the tree of soul itself represents fear!

Xu Le pondered for a while, and his ethereal state did not allow him to think for too long, only a few tenths of a second.

But Xu Le himself felt that he had been thinking for a long time.

Xu Le, who was no longer struggling, turned himself over, with his back upward and his face downward, continuing downward in the river of souls.

Then, a small blue sapling poked its head out from the seventh vertebra behind Xu Le.

"If this is really the case, then...please absorb the soul and grow freely, the branch of ancient sound."
