Chapter 76: Xun Er: Strange, Why Are There So Few Energy Bodies in the Tian Mu?
Deep within the Ancient Holy Mountain Range.
Before the Tian Mu about to open.
Three men and one woman stood together.
They were all of the Yan Clan's younger generation, and at the center of each brow was a striking flame mark.
Under the sunlight's reflection, they flickered with a different kind of radiance.
At this moment, they were discussing heatedly.
"Among the current younger generation, I'm afraid only Lei Dong can go challenge that Yun Yi!"
A burly Yan Clan youth, his eyes revealing a trace of admiration.
He held his arms across his chest, his body emitting a scorching aura, as if it would ignite at any moment.
"Indeed, born from a mundane minor power, yet able to achieve such heights, truly a remarkable person!"
A comparatively thin youth beside him chimed in, his eyes full of amazement.
"Hmph, though that Yun Yi is formidable, Lei Dong is no slouch either; if they truly fight, it's hard to say who wins and who loses."
Another youth curled his lip; although he acknowledged Yun Yi's power, he was also full of confidence in Lei Dong.
After all, Yun Yi was not one of their Ancient Races.
Between the two, they perhaps leaned more toward Lei Dong.
"Sigh, don't know when we'll get to see the scene of the two of them exchanging blows."
That woman wore a red dress and a veil.
As her beautiful eyes turned, she reached out and gently fiddled with a strand of hair by her ear, her voice clear and crisp, her tone filled with curiosity.
And just like these four Yan Clan youths.
Not far away, within the Ancient Clan, four young people had also gathered together, likewise discussing Lei Dong and Yun Yi.
After all, they were all young people who admired the strong.
Only those stronger than them among their peers were worthy of their discussion.
Just like Lei Dong and Yun Yi.
"Strange, how come that Yun Yi hasn't come..."
An Ancient Clan youth frowned, his gaze searching everywhere in the crowd, yet never catching sight of Yun Yi's figure, unable to help feeling quite surprised.
"Yeah, they've all come to the Gu Jie, there's no reason not to come watch the Tian Mu opening?"
Another youth said with a touch of teasing, but his eyes faintly held some anticipation for Yun Yi to appear.
"Maybe something came up, it's also possible he left the Gu Jie early." The last Ancient Clan youth spoke calmly.
Just then, an ancient aura slowly spread out from within the Void Space.
This aura was heavy and far-reaching, as if carrying the vicissitudes of time, making everyone present unable to help but feel a chill in their hearts.
The surrounding air seemed to tremble within this aura.
"The Tian Mu is about to open!"
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over.
Only to see the space ahead as if torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands.
A spatial crack a thousand zhang in size abruptly appeared.
Immediately after, a massive Spatial Gate slowly emerged.
At this time, an Ancient Clan elder appeared.
He wore a simple long robe, white hair abundant, but his eyes were bright and spirited.
He scanned the surroundings, his voice resonant as he said, "Everyone, the Tian Mu is about to open; the rules are still the same, each clan may only send two people."
"Inside, please everyone abide by the agreement and act accordingly."
Hearing this elder speak, among the other Ancient Races' young people two quickly stepped forward.
Clearly, this entry list had long been determined by each clan.
And the Ancient Clan had five people step forward.
Although not explicitly stated, everyone understood tacitly.
As the host, the Ancient Clan could send five people.
Next were some routine rules everyone knew.
The elder's voice was like a great bell, reverberating in the valley, letting every single person hear clearly.
After explaining the rules, everyone prepared to enter.
At this moment, a voice transmission suddenly rang by Yun Yi's ear.
"Yun Yi, I permit you to enter the Tian Mu, but you may only act against Energy Bodies."
"Absolutely must not stir up any other trouble..."
Yun Yi blanked slightly, then the corner of his mouth curved upward, revealing a faint smile.
In his heart he understood this was Gu Yuan's voice transmission.
He did not respond, merely his figure flashed, and he entered the Spatial Gate composedly.
Entering the Tian Mu, before his eyes was a patch of misty, strange land.
Thick mist permeated the surroundings, as if draping a layer of mysterious veil over this space.
The mist now thin, now dense, surging and rolling like ocean waves.
Yun Yi looked around, only to see the surroundings deathly silent, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The heaven and earth energy here contained an extremely strong pressure; below Dou Sheng, it was very difficult to fly for long.
So most people could only rely on walking.
But obviously, Yun Yi was not among them.
He could fly directly to the depths, ahead of everyone!
He waved his hand lightly.
Stowing the Puppet beside him, he then unfolded his figure and flashed away at high speed.
Powerful Soul Power was released instantly, like an invisible great net spreading toward all directions.
Where the Soul Power reached, the mist seemed driven by an invisible force, scattering to both sides.
"Boom!"
As Yun Yi's Soul Power probed the location of an Energy Body, he launched an attack without the slightest hesitation.
His hands rapidly formed seals, streaks of blood-colored light flickering at his fingertips, then condensing into a blood-colored finger that shot out in an instant.
The Energy Body sensed the threat and tried to dodge, but under Yun Yi's terrifying Soul Power it was directly imprisoned.
The blood-colored finger crushed across the Energy Body, exploding in a burst of dazzling light.
The Energy Body was destroyed in an instant.
And at the moment the Energy Body was struck, a shrill scream seemed to be heard.
The Energy Bodies here, though formed after human death, were still effective for Yun Yi's Killing God System.
Therefore, the moment Yun Yi killed this Energy Body, a majestic energy immediately fed back.
At the same time, the Energy Body's demise left behind an Energy Core emitting light.
This Energy Core was very precious; absorbing it could directly convert into Cultivation Base.
This was the purpose of these Ancient Races' young people coming here.
And for Yun Yi, this Energy Core counted as a double increase.
Moreover, the worst Energy Bodies here were all Dou Zun strength.
This was the reason Yun Yi wanted to come in here.
It was indeed hard to find a place where basically everything was Dou Zun strength to slaughter.
Yun Yi impatiently picked up the Energy Core and absorbed it; a warm current instantly spread through his whole body, and he could feel his Cultivation Base slowly rising.
Although this kind of increase was quite little for Yun Yi, he couldn't stand the many Dou Zun Energy Bodies here.
Kill more, gain more!
………
Land of Mist.
Xun Er and Xiao Yan walked side by side.
Mist curled around them.
"Strange, all the way here, why are there so few Energy Bodies in this place?"
Xun Er frowned slightly, surprise showing in her eyes.
This differed greatly from the Tian Mu scene described by the ancestors and in the classics.
Xiao Yan also shook his head with a puzzled face, "Logically speaking, there should be Energy Bodies everywhere in this Tian Mu."
——Let me explain, some people don't recognize Lei Dong; in the Original Work at this period, most Ancient Races' younger generation were Dou Zun, but Lei Dong, as well as Soul Clan's Hun Feng, and that someone from the Medicine Clan, were not among them.
Lei Dong at this period was at least Two-Star Dou Sheng.
Even already reached Three-Star Dou Sheng!
