Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 557 Soul Devourer

“How come you become a coward now?” Hongyue curled her lips.

“It’s not called a coward, but being cautious, alright?” Yun Lintian retorted.

“Anyway, you must check it out. Perhaps once this person got released, everyone here, including the entire island, would become his prey.” Hongyue rolled her eyes.

,m “Right. They said they had encountered a kind of strange energy….” Yun Lintian began to narrate what An Shan told him.

After listening to Yun Lintian, the frown on Hongyue’s face grew deeper. In the next moment, a certain figure flashed across her mind as she said. “I think I know who this person is.”

“Oh? Who is it?” Yun Lintian asked in surprise.

“Soul Devourer,” Hongyue replied solemnly.

“Soul Devourer?” Yun Lintian was startled for a moment. Last time he met Soul Reaper and Abyssal Devourer, this time he was going to meet Soul Devourer?

“Soul Devourer is born from several vengeful and resentful souls gathering together. It would continue to devour any living beings’ soul to increase its strength. Once its strength reached a certain degree, it could take shape, regenerate fleshes and blood and become a creature not inferior to humans.” Hongyue explained.The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

“If I’m not mistaken. The red dot you saw back then should be its power, trying to control the profound beasts. Its goal is naturally destroying this place and freeing it.”

Yun Lintian immediately understood the seriousness of this matter. It was no wonder those profound beasts had attacked the island blindly like that.

“How to deal with it?” Yun Lintian had never fought with a soul creature before. Would he need holy water or something?

“This Soul Devourer’s true strength is definitely above the middle-level of Monarch Profound Realm. Worst case, its strength could be beyond the Monarch Profound Realm… Think about it. Why would someone have to painstakingly create this place to imprison it?” Hongyue analyzed the situation.

“That strong?” Yun Lintian was surprised. He thought that this Soul Devourer was at most the peak Monarch-level.

“Thankfully, you got the Thunder before coming here. If you utilize it well, you might have a chance to finish it.” Hongyue said in a relaxed manner.

Yun Lintian was immediately enlightened. How could he forget about this? The lightning element was a natural bane of soul attribute lifeforms. He didn’t need to be afraid at all.

“Heh. This Soul Devourer is quite clever but also stupid at the same time. He probably detects your abundant soul power. That’s why he tries to lure you in.” Hongyue chuckled.

“And you still tell me to go in?” Yun Lintian rolled his eyes.

“Of course. Don’t you think it’s weird for this Soul Devourer to last this long without devouring any soul in this place?” Hongyue responded.

According to Yun Lintian’s words earlier, there was no strange accident happening in this place at once. It meant Soul Devourer had never devoured anyone’s soul until now. Perhaps it was afraid of being discovered or in a dormant state before.

Yun Lintian’s eyes flashed with a strange light. “There must be a treasure then.”

“And it’s likely to be a soul pond,” Hongyue added.

“Soul pond?” Yun Lintian recalled a piece of information about the soul pond. It was said soul pond was a precious treasure from the netherworld. It usually appeared in a place where Yin energy was gathered. He looked around this place again and discovered this place was indeed abundant with Yin energy.

“If we can take this soul pond….” Yun Lintian’s eyes lit up. As long as he obtained this soul pond, the soul power of everyone in the Land of Beyond Heaven would increase drastically. With the combination of [Goddess of the Nine Heavens], he couldn’t imagine how powerful they could become.

“Now you have a motivation. Just move already.” Hongyue urged.

Yun Lintian put his greedy thoughts aside and glanced around the place, trying to locate An Shan. When he found An Shan and was about to walk toward him, suddenly, An Lang appeared with three unconscious men on his shoulders.

“Jiukai, come here now!” An Lang shouted loudly. His voice startled everyone, including Xiao Lian’s group.

A middle-aged man in a white robe suddenly rushed toward An Lang and quickly checked on the three men. His brows tightly twisted together as his face was unsightly. “Their souls… Their souls have gone.”

The expression of everyone instantly changed. Especially An Shan. He had just told Yun Lintian about the past event, yet how could it appear here now?

Yun Lintian glanced at An Shan and discovered the latter had also looked at him. Yun Lintian nodded and walked toward the middle-aged doctor named Hu Jiukai.

“Senior, can I take a look at them? I have learned some medical skills from my master. Maybe I can help.” Yun Lintian said sincerely.

Hu Jiukai looked at Yun Lintian with a frown and asked coldly. “Who is your master?”

“Mu Qiuxue.” Yun Lintian replied promptly. “You might know her as Snow Maiden Mu.”

Hu Jiukai’s expression changed slightly. He said in doubt. “I have never heard Snow Maiden Mu is proficient in a medical art before. Are you sure you can help them? Even if it is the case. Their souls have already gone. What can you do about it?”

Yun Lintian didn’t reply but squatted down beside the three men and took a few silver needles out. He skillfully pierced them onto the tree men’s Soul Gate, Heaven Gate, and Heart Gate to prevent their bodies from deteriorating.

He then turned to Hu Jiukai and said calmly. “If their souls are gone. We will just find them.”

An Lang’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope. He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and waited for the following explanation.

“Find them? How could it be easy?” Hu Jiukai frowned.

“Of course, it’s not easy.” Yun Lintian replied. “However, from what I know. The Black Jade has the ability to restrain one’s soul. I believe their souls didn’t go anywhere far from where they have been attacked.”
