If Ye Yunfei were here, he would definitely recognize immediately that the scene within the valley before him was nearly identical to the one within the ancient battlefield in the space near the Hongmeng Continent!
Here too, there was an altar, a transparent crystal coffin, a spotlessly white skeleton lying inside the coffin, and a large number of living beings kneeling reverently!
Though still alive, the beings kneeling around the altar had lost their independent consciousness and were being controlled by a mysterious power, like fervent believers worshiping the supreme deity in their hearts!
“A War Remnant Soul left behind by an Earth Immortal expert!”
At this moment, within this ancient battlefield, Ye Yunfei and the other four had suddenly discovered a War Remnant Soul left behind by an Earth Immortal expert and were immensely excited.
Thus, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm collaborated once more, employing their tried-and-true method. First, they blended into the intense combat scene, participating in the slaughter amidst the War Remnant Souls. Then, they quietly approached the War Remnant Soul of the Earth Immortal expert and took the opportunity to slice and separate the surrounding space, severing that Earth Immortal expert’s War Remnant Soul from the surrounding warfare environment.
That Earth Immortal expert could sense that Ye Yunfei belonged to the Light Faction, so naturally he had no reason to guard against Ye Yunfei.
“So my remnant soul has been trapped in this battlefield for such a long time…”
After regaining clarity, the Earth Immortal expert’s Remnant Soul conversed with Ye Yunfei and the other four for a while. Upon learning what had transpired, he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
At this time, aside from Ye Yunfei and his four companions, over a dozen War Remnant Souls of the Light Faction were following along with them.
Up to this point, Ye Yunfei and his group had already connected with a large batch of War Remnant Souls from the Light Faction on this battlefield. These dozen or so War Remnant Souls were the relatively more powerful among them. They followed Ye Yunfei’s group mainly to observe the situation on the battlefield and also harbored the intention of protecting these five juniors.
“You are Han Qianzi!”
Just as the Earth Immortal Remnant Soul was sighing, another War Remnant Soul recognized him and cried out in surprise.
“Oh?
You recognize me?”
That Earth Immortal Remnant Soul was taken aback and asked.
This Earth Immortal’s name was indeed Han Qianzi.
“I am Huang Tianliang, Huang Tianhao’s younger brother,”
the War Remnant Soul said.
“So you’re Huang Tianhao’s younger brother!
Where is your brother now!
His strength was superior even to mine, one of the best among our generation. I always admired him greatly in my time!”
Upon hearing Huang Tianliang’s words, Han Qianzi came to a realization and immediately asked.
“My brother isn’t in this battlefield. Back then, the two of us brothers went to the battlefield together, intending to fight side by side. However, due to the needs of the war, we were later assigned to different battlefields.
Ever since then, I’ve never seen him again.”
Huang Tianliang spoke to this point, feeling somewhat downcast.
“Don’t worry. Your brother’s strength was formidable; he will be fine,”
Han Qianzi comforted.
“Senior Han, during that ancient war, what became of your main body?”
Yan Xiaoquan asked.
For every War Remnant Soul they encountered, Yan Xiaoquan would ask this question, as it was also part of the mission—to ascertain the whereabouts of the ancient experts of the Light Faction.
“My main body should have perished.
During that battle, I slew ten Dark Faction experts of the same level consecutively, but was myself grievously injured and on the verge of death. I likely perished later on, though I’m not yet certain where in this battlefield my main body fell.
Later, you should take me around this battlefield. I’ll see if I can locate my main body.”
Han Qianzi said.
“Han Qianzi, deceased, leaving behind only a single War Remnant Soul.”
Yan Xiaoquan took out a jade slip and recorded this information earnestly.
Following this, Ye Yunfei and the other four, leading over a dozen War Remnant Souls, began to wander around the battlefield once more. Whenever they saw powerful experts of the Light Faction, they would immediately approach to connect.
As for the weaker War Remnant Souls of the Light Faction, they ignored them for the time being, as Yan Xiaoquan’s team’s primary task was to search for the whereabouts of the ancient experts of the Light Faction.
Moreover, the number of Light Faction War Remnant Souls on this battlefield was far too great; it would be unrealistic to connect with every single one of them.
“Young man, your spatial techniques are too marvelous! Not only can you carve us War Remnant Souls out from the battlefield, you can even carry us as you move around the battlefield!”
Helped by Ye Yunfei to move around the battlefield, Han Qianzi couldn’t help but praise.
The other War Remnant Souls also praised ceaselessly the methods displayed by Ye Yunfei.
“That’s right, young man. Since you can carve us out from this battlefield, you can likely carve out the Dark Faction’s War Remnant Souls as well. Why don’t you simply carve out those powerful Dark Faction War Remnant Souls, and then we can all join hands to eliminate them.”
One of the War Remnant Souls suddenly spoke up with this suggestion.
“Carve out those powerful Dark Faction War Remnant Souls and eliminate them together?”
Upon hearing this War Remnant Soul’s proposal, Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Ye Yunfei hadn’t intended to provoke those Dark Faction War Remnant Souls.
And if he did, it would take far too much time.
“Senior, I’m afraid time doesn’t permit it. Moreover, those Dark Faction War Remnant Souls no longer pose any harm. Whether we eliminate them or not seems not to hold much significance.”
Before Ye Yunfei could speak, Yan Xiaoquan hurriedly answered. She feared that Ye Yunfei might agree.
She just wanted to complete the mission early so she could return and report.
“Who says it holds no significance?
Once the next World-Destroying War erupts, the Dark Faction War Remnant Souls on this battlefield will definitely be summoned back. This has happened repeatedly in previous World-Destroying Wars.
In ancient times, there was such a legend: Those of the Dark Faction who perished on the battlefield, if summoned back, could be reborn.
If this legend is true, then every Dark Faction Remnant Soul in this battlefield, once summoned back, could potentially become a living, breathing member of the Dark Faction and participate in the next World-Destroying War.”
That War Remnant Soul said.
“There’s such a legend?
After members of the Dark Faction perish on the battlefield, their War Remnant Souls can be summoned back and even reborn?”
Upon hearing this, all five—Ye Yunfei and his companions—were greatly astonished and changed color.
If this was the case, wouldn’t every Dark Faction War Remnant Soul in this ancient battlefield potentially participate in the next World-Destroying War?
This would be an entire army!
The Dark Faction’s overall strength was already formidable now. If they could additionally summon back and resurrect the Dark Faction War Remnant Souls from ancient battlefields for re-participation in warfare, the Dark Faction’s overall strength would receive a terrifying boost. For the Light Faction, the pressure would increase tremendously!
“That legend indeed circulated in ancient times.
The Dark Faction is an extremely bizarre race, possessing a freakishly abnormal vitality. Thus, it’s possible this legend is true.”
Han Qianzi added from the side, his tone a bit grave.
