The figures then each produced a black cloth bag, moving swiftly as they stepped onto this battlefield.
Suddenly, one of the figures opened the black cloth bag in their hand, aimed it at several Remnant Souls not far away, and unleashed a formidable force of suction, instantly drawing those War Remnant Souls over.
The other figures also repeatedly raised their black cloth bags, opened the mouths of the sacks, targeted the War Remnant Souls they fancied, and forcibly pulled those souls over, stuffing them into the bags.
In this manner, these five or six black-robed figures roamed the battlefield, continuously using the black cloth bags to collect War Remnant Souls.
The black cloth bags in their hands seemed to possess a mysterious power that rendered those War Remnant Souls utterly incapable of resisting.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei, Yan Xiaoquan, and the others were bidding farewell to Daoist Wufa and the other War Remnant Souls.
"Wait, young ones!"
Just as Ye Yunfei and his companions were preparing to leave, a Daoist arrived from afar, calling out to stop them.
Daoist Zhenfa!
"I suddenly remembered something," Daoist Zhenfa said. "Before the World-Destroying War, I had discussed with several Earth Immortal experts the possibility that if our Light Faction were to lose this war, and if the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were truly destroyed by the Dark Faction, then we would hide within the Colorless Abyss.
Because even if the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are destroyed, the Colorless Abyss would not be.
The Colorless Abyss has existed far longer than the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Therefore, if my main body is still alive and has gone missing, it is extremely likely it has already entered the Colorless Abyss."
Colorless Abyss?
Ye Yunfei and the others were stunned upon hearing this.
"Yes. Moreover, I suspect that after the last World-Destroying War concluded, a significant number of our Light Faction experts must have entered the Colorless Abyss," Daoist Zhenfa nodded affirmatively.
"What place is the Colorless Abyss?" Ye Yunfei asked, curious, as this was the first he had heard of it.
"The Colorless Abyss is an extremely peculiar world," Daoist Wufa interjected to explain. "It is said to exist on the borderlands between the Netherworld and the Shadow Realm. There is no energy or law there whatsoever; the environment is utterly treacherous.
However, it has one benefit: beings who enter it do not need to expend any energy. Even if only a Remnant Soul enters, it can endure there for a very long time."
"More importantly," Daoist Zhenfa continued solemnly, "even the Dark Faction lacks the power to destroy the Colorless Abyss. It is a world of eternal existence.
No matter which faction's members enter the Colorless Abyss, they would not easily think to stir up trouble there because the waters of the Colorless Abyss run far too deep—it is connected to the legendary Deities.
Thus, among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, many powerful individuals who can no longer survive elsewhere ultimately choose the Colorless Abyss as their place of retirement.
Before the World-Destroying War, my main body had already made plans: if the Dark Faction were to win the war and my main body managed to survive, then it would enter the Colorless Abyss to retire and spend the remainder of his days.
In truth, not only my main body had such plans; to my knowledge, many Earth Immortal-level experts within our Light Faction shared the same intention back then.
Therefore, if you young ones wish to seek the Light Faction experts who went missing back then, you could try looking in the Colorless Abyss."
Colorless Abyss...
Listening to Daoist Zhenfa, Ye Yunfei, Yan Xiaoquan, and the others all committed the name of this world to memory.
"Very well, that is all I have to say. I hope we shall meet again someday," Daoist Zhenfa said, waving to Ye Yunfei and the others. Then he moved swiftly, returning to his original position on this battlefield, once again joining the fighting on this stretch of land.
However, with Ye Yunfei's assistance, this Daoist Zhenfa's Soul Power Energy had increased significantly, and he was now able to maintain his clarity on this battlefield. Henceforth, he would be able to move freely across it.
"Alright, young ones, it is time for me to bid you farewell as well. Strive diligently. With promising juniors like you, our Light Faction has worthy successors," Daoist Wufa said to Ye Yunfei and his group.
Yet, at this very moment, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in the distance, holding a black cloth bag. It directly sucked away several War Remnant Souls.
"Who is that fellow?"
Ye Yunfei and Yan Xiaoquan immediately noticed the distant black figure.
"That's a member of the Dark Faction! The bag in his hand is strange. Even from this distance, I can sense the dangerous aura emanating from it!" Daoist Wufa declared.
"This is a Ghost Cultivator technique! That black cloth bag is no ordinary item. It's a high-level Ghost Cultivator treasure, seemingly specifically designed for collecting fragments of Soul Bodies!"
At this moment, Huang Shang suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, staring at the distant black figure as he spoke.
Although Huang Shang's Ghost Cultivation technique was initially taught to him by Ye Yunfei, as his power grew, his mastery of it had far surpassed Ye Yunfei's understanding. In the field of Ghost Cultivation, Ye Yunfei now had to seek his advice!
"Ghost Cultivator!"
Daoist Wufa and Tan Feng were both greatly alarmed upon seeing Huang Shang.
The current Huang Shang appeared enveloped in a layer of dark, gleaming energy, radiating a deeply sinister, ghostly aura. Numerous phantom images of resentful spirits and fierce ghosts wailed and shrieked around him, presenting a truly terrifying sight.
"This Dark Faction member seems to be collecting the War Remnant Souls from this battlefield," Huang Shang said.
"The Dark Faction is our enemy! Regardless of what he is doing, it surely serves the Dark Faction's purposes. For our Light Faction, that is certainly not a good thing! We cannot let him go!" Daoist Wufa stated grimly.
"How about this: we first disguise ourselves as War Remnant Souls of this battlefield. Wait until he draws near, then everyone launches a surprise attack together, capturing him in one fell swoop," Ye Yunfei suggested.
"Good!"
The others all nodded in agreement.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and his group all disguised themselves as War Remnant Souls and began attacking nearby Dark Faction War Remnant Souls.
A short while later, the Dark Faction member in the distance indeed began moving towards the location of Ye Yunfei's group.
Since there were so many War Remnant Souls on this ancient battlefield, with fighting figures everywhere, smoke and turmoil filling the air, creating an extremely lively scene, the Dark Faction member simply didn't notice Ye Yunfei's group.
"A War Remnant Soul left behind by a Perfected True Immortal. Not bad."
Suddenly, the Dark Faction member seemed to have taken a liking to Tan Feng and raised his black cloth bag.
Rumble…
A terrifyingly powerful force of suction immediately erupted from the black cloth bag, enveloping Tan Feng and attempting to forcefully drag him over.
"That bag is frightening! It seems to have a special restraining power against Remnant Souls!" Tan Feng sent an alarmed mental message to the others.
"Attack!"
Daoist Wufa issued the command.
Boom! Boom!
Daoist Wufa, Tan Feng, Ye Yunfei, Yan Xiaoquan, and the others all joined the assault. A series of furious attacks blasted toward the Dark Faction member.
