Chapter 66: The True Effect

Inside the silver‑gray spaceship, Zhou Yang clamped his mouth, unable to tell whether to laugh or to cry.

He had just tried to absorb the energy of a blood soul sand.

In his perception, his palm just got hot, and then nothing followed.

Perhaps the effect of Life Yuan Power is too extreme, having already raised his flesh's strength to a terrifying level.

That powerful energy, which can make even the Stellar Level Lei Shen extremely excited, to him was like a droplet falling into the sea, raising not even a ripple.

"That's not right, it's not without any change."

Zhou Yang closed his eyes to sense, and soon he made a discovery.

"My sensing of the space law fluctuations seems to have risen a bit?"

In his perception, the fluctuations of the Fundamental Law of space around his body seemed a little clearer.

Although the magnitude of this change was extremely tiny—perhaps comparable to a hair strand—it was still captured by his keen senses!

"Hmm, this single blood soul sand raised my sensitivity to the space law by about two to three per mille; if each person can absorb fifty grains, that's roughly a ten to fifteen percent boost!"

Thinking of that, Zhou Yang couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

That increase is quite substantial!

So this is the true marvel of blood soul sand!

One must know that a treasure capable of enhancing Fundamental Law sensing would be a prized item even across the Universe.

On some affluent Life planets, it is snapped up the instant it appears.

"That's not right—this Soul River Secret Realm has existed for an unknown number of eras, and surely someone discovered blood soul sand's law‑enhancing effect long ago, so why is the price this low?"

Immediately, he couldn't help but wonder again.

"Perhaps this thing has an absorption limit, and I just absorbed blood soul sand; the heavenly soul sand might be a bit stronger, so the rich don't care and the poor can't afford it?"

Zhou Yang nodded, feeling he vaguely grasped the reasoning.

Those who can afford such rare items naturally have better options.

But people like them, native‑born paupers, tend to venture out themselves to search.

So that's why the price of blood soul sand can't go up?

He let out a soft sigh in his heart and stopped overthinking.

【5】 Seeing Luo Feng and the others still in an excited state, he whispered a reminder:

Seeing that Luo Feng and the others were still in an excited state, he whispered a reminder:

"Luo Feng, Brother Hong, Lei Ge, a quick reminder for you."

"Try to reserve your absorption attempts for blood soul sand; this thing seems able to boost your Fundamental Law sensing!"

The few who were excited froze for a moment upon hearing this.

"Is it real? Can it really enhance law sensing?"

"Quick, try it."

After his reminder, Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen silently tried, and soon their faces showed surprised expressions.

"Heavens, it really works; my sensing clarity of the Thunder‑Lightning Fundamental Law jumped by about one percent!"

"I improved by roughly five per mille."

Even Babata couldn't help but be slightly astonished.

"This blood soul sand has this effect; the data collected in the Virtual Universe didn't have this point."

"Th‑this‑this, this blood soul sand is truly a great treasure!"

Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen and the others' eyes lit up.

"Quick, go to the next location."

The silver‑gray spaceship kept moving at Sub‑light Speed through the dark‑red Xingkong.

Soon they arrived at the next location.

However, the result left them greatly disappointed.

In the small world beyond this spatial vortex, not a single soul beast was found.

It's unclear whether it hasn't fully matured yet or has already been swept clean.

What troubled them more was that their good luck seemed to have run out after the first try.

Even the next three locations yielded nothing.

"Damn! Our luck can't be this bad!"

The white‑robed Lei Shen slapped his bald head hard, his face full of frustration.

Zhou Yang and the others wore grim looks as well.

The first spatial vortex had already brought them a lucky start, making them think blood soul beasts were everywhere in this Soul River Secret Realm.

It must have been a massive luck burst!

Zhou Yang spoke weakly:

"Babata, keep moving deeper into the Secret Realm, and watch for nearby spatial vortices along the way."

"Received!"

……

Deep within the Soul River Secret Realm, a vortex space spanning hundreds of kilometers in radius.

At this moment, an intense battle was raging.

About a dozen human Warriors with sharp horns on their foreheads and fine scales on their cheeks darted and clashed within a massive army of heavenly soul beasts and blood soul beasts.

These people's auras were extremely strong; each possessed at least Stellar Level fourth or fifth tier strength.

Among them, the strongest man's aura faintly reached around Stellar Level eighth tier.

Yet this group, despite such power, found themselves in a dire situation at this moment.

A massive army of over a thousand gigantic soul beasts tightly surrounded them inside.

Among these forces, the number of wholly dark‑red blood soul beasts alone reached four to five hundred.

These are powerful soul beasts comparable to a human Warrior of Stellar Level!

Led by those four to five hundred Stellar Level blood soul beasts, the entire soul‑beast army unleashed tremendous combat power.

One by one, the blood soul beasts, fearless of death, charged wildly at the ten‑plus human Warriors.

Sharp horns, keen teeth, and four claws kept attacking, instantly putting the humans at a disadvantage.

Those human Warriors could only rely on powerful weapons and protective battle suits to keep circling the soul‑beast horde.

However, among the besieged humans, one stood out remarkably—a human youth of Stellar Level, Eighth Rank.

They wielded a massive black War Blade, constantly slashing forward, while a dense yellow aura swirled over the blade, making its attacks heavier and fiercer.

Almost every swing easily dispatched a snarling blood soul beast.

It was precisely because of their ferocious performance that they and a few others barely held back the attack of the thousand‑plus soul‑beast army.

But precisely because they stood out, a powerful presence among the beasts soon set its sights on them.

Three massive blood soul beasts, their bodies drenched in deep red as if clad in dark‑red armor, roared and charged at them.

Those three blood soul beasts were noticeably larger than the other soul beasts, with faint red glows flickering across their bodies.

Their speed and strength far surpassed ordinary blood soul beasts, and the three coordinated so flawlessly that they literally pinned the Stellar Level, Eighth Rank human male.

With his barrier gone, the ten‑plus human companions faced the onslaught of hundreds of Stellar Level blood soul beasts, and their situation instantly became dire.

"A Liu Jin, we can't hold on much longer, think of a way!"

Soon someone in the group shouted for help.

The one they called A Liu Jin was the Stellar Level, Eighth Rank man battling those three powerful blood soul beasts.

At that moment his complexion turned very grim.

He internally cursed his misfortune.

He could never have imagined that these dim‑witted blood soul beasts also knew how to hide and ambush!

When they first entered this space, they clearly saw only a little over a hundred blood soul beasts leading more than five hundred ordinary sky soul beasts.

But when they charged in with solemn vows and clashed with those soul beasts, another three hundred plus Stellar Level blood soul beasts surged up from the ground.

Among them, three blood soul beasts already radiated an aura at the peak of Stellar Level, just one step away from evolving into stronger blood soul beast kings.

Even at full power, he could only stalemate those three blood soul beasts.

Meanwhile, his companions were forced into a peril by hundreds of blood soul beasts.

The human Warrior named A Liu Jin fought those three powerful blood soul beasts while quickly contemplating.

Soon they made up their mind.

"A Mengka, Ku Erte, in a moment I will unleash the Innate Secret Technique; you two find the right chance and lead everyone to break out!"

However, upon hearing him, someone among his companions immediately shouted a loud objection.

"A Liu Jin, you can't do that; casting such a large‑scale Secret Technique at once is beyond your endurance, and what about you yourself!"

These people all come from a Universe clan called the Illusion Heart Clan.

The Illusion Heart Clan ranks only as a fifth or sixth‑tier ordinary group in the Universe, and after reaching adulthood they barely attain Planet Level.

However, a very few outstanding members who break through to Stellar Level have a chance to comprehend a powerful Innate Secret Technique—Illusion Heart.

Once this technique is activated, it can instantly pull any enemy whose realm is not higher than one's own into the Illusion Realm.

The duration of the Illusion Realm depends on the strength of the enemy's soul.

And A Liu Jin is one of those outstanding members.

In past adventures, they repeatedly escaped peril thanks to A Liu Jin's Innate Secret Technique.

However, precisely because of this, his companions know that using this Innate Secret Technique carries severe limitations.

Putting aside whether those three blood soul beasts at the Stellar Level peak can be affected by A Liu Jin's technique, merely unleashing the Secret Technique on hundreds of Stellar Level blood soul beasts would generate such a fierce backlash that it could gravely wound A Liu Jin!

A Liu Jin is the backbone of their squad; under any circumstances they cannot afford a problem!

"Stop babbling, if we don't leave now we won't get out!"

The Illusion Heart Clan man named A Liu Jin roared, thrusting a powerful slash that forced a charging blood soul beast back.

"Prepare to go!"

He no longer hesitated; a hazy radiance flickered in his eyes as he prepared to activate the Innate Secret Technique he had grasped upon breaking through the Stellar Level.

But at that moment, a distant shout echoed from the opposite end of this space.

"Friend, need a hand?"
