Chapter 1388 - Battle of Martial Souls
The second level had descended into a brutal contest over martial souls. Even experts from the Grand Unity Sect set Liu Wuxie aside. They threw themselves into the hunt, utterly obsessed with absorbing martial souls to strengthen their soul energy and soul seas.
Liu Wuxie followed a different path. Using Ghost Eye, he locked onto more than thirty martial souls and seized control of them one after another.
He clashed with several cultivators during this process, but he relied on his controlled martial souls to kill his enemies. With each attempt, he grew more adept at inscribing soul runes, and his control over martial souls became increasingly precise.
The path to the third level was not a staircase this time but a light curtain hanging in the air. Liu Wuxie used the Great Spatial Mythical Art to appear on the light screen first, stepping through it ahead of everyone else, followed closely by other cultivators and blood fiends.
The third level was yet another desolate and lifeless world. Liu Wuxie felt instinctively that the remaining levels would be the same, with the martial souls growing stronger each time.
As soon as he entered the third level, Liu Wuxie vanished into the depths. Before long, a martial soul flew straight toward him. The martial souls here possessed strength comparable to the third- and fourth-level Void Realm.
"Human martial soul!" Liu Wuxie exclaimed.
The martial soul charging at him clearly belonged to a human and not an astral beast. As he had suspected, human cultivators had been captured by the loulan race and forged into martial souls. Human martial souls were even stronger than those of astral beasts because they still retained a wisp of their memories.
Liu Wuxie didn't need to make a move himself as the martial soul lunged over with the clear intent to possess his body. If it succeeded, it could undergo rebirth through him and escape this place alive.
"You're courting death!" Liu Wuxie growled. Instead of acting personally, he summoned three martial souls under his control to surround and attack the human martial soul.
The four martial souls clashed violently while Liu Wuxie stood to the side, calmly watching. He even activated Ghost Eye, examining the internal structure of the human martial soul.
He soon noticed that a human martial soul's structure differed from that of astral beasts. He traced his finger through the air and formed a soul rune, driving it straight into the human martial soul.
