“No wonder the Dark Faction is so powerful. The remnants of their fallen warriors can actually be resurrected. This is far too unfair for our Light Faction!”
Zhou Ye spoke out.
“If that’s the case, then eliminating those Dark Faction War Remnant Souls truly is meaningful.”
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
“If we truly have the time to deal with those Dark Faction War Remnant Souls, of course it's meaningful. These Dark Faction War Remnant Souls are extremely rare cultivation resources for us ghost cultivators. Also, I estimate you could also refine and absorb them using the Soul-Nurturing Tree to enhance your Soul Power energy.”
Huang Shang suddenly interjected.
“That makes sense!”
Ye Yunfei was inwardly stirred upon hearing Huang Shang's words. For ghost cultivators, these War Remnant Souls were indeed precious cultivation resources. The Soul-Nurturing Tree within Ye Yunfei's soul sea could also refine remnant souls, converting them into Soul Power energy—something Ye Yunfei had long tried before. However, refining others' remnant souls to augment one's own energy was a rather cruel cultivation method. For the remnant souls of living beings, that was their last lingering hope of remaining in the world. Refining another's remnant soul meant utterly severing their last hope. Therefore, Ye Yunfei had rarely engaged in refining others' remnant souls. But if they were refining and absorbing Dark Faction War Remnant Souls, Ye Yunfei wouldn't feel the slightest shred of guilt!
“Alright then, if we encounter those Dark Faction remnant souls that are relatively strong, we'll join forces to eliminate them!”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
“Very well, but we must be mindful of the time.”
Yan Xiaoquan nodded. Hearing that the Dark Faction War Remnant Souls could potentially be resurrected, she felt that eliminating those powerful ones indeed held significant meaning and no longer objected.
“There's one over there. Looks like it has decent strength.”
Han Qianzi pointed at a Dark Faction War Remnant Soul in the distance.
This particular Dark Faction War Remnant Soul indeed possessed formidable combat power. Holding an eerily shaped curved blade, it slew a large number of Light Faction War Remnant Souls in moments. It was evident that in life, this was a master at the Earth Immortal level!
“Let's go!”
Han Qianzi was eager for action.
“I remember that fellow! I once clashed with him long ago. His strength was on par with mine. Later, we were scattered in the chaos of the battlefield and never faced each other again! This time, I'll personally blast him apart!”
Another War Remnant Soul shouted loudly. This was a War Remnant Soul of an Earth Immortal. Currently, three Earth Immortal remnant souls of the Light Faction were traveling with Ye Yunfei's group.
“Alright, we'll go together!”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Thus, led by Ye Yunfei, they charged towards that Dark Faction War Remnant Soul.
Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm simultaneously activated their spatial techniques, swiftly carving out the space surrounding the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul. On this battlefield, cutting out space was something the trio had long perfected their mastery of.
BOOM... BOOM...
After separating the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul from the battlefield, Ye Yunfei and the others wasted no time and immediately launched a coordinated assault. Although powerful, the opponent was faced with three Earth Immortal remnant souls, over twenty True Immortal remnant souls, and the five living members of Ye Yunfei's squad. Within moments, they gained the upper hand, suppressing the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul completely.
“Elder Huang, begin refining now. We'll work together.”
Ye Yunfei spoke to Huang Shang.
“Alright!”
Huang Shang nodded and immediately stepped forward, unleashing Ghost Cultivation Arts to begin refining this Dark Faction War Remnant Soul.
Rustle...
The Soul-Nurturing Tree within Ye Yunfei's soul sea shook its branches and leaves, extending its root tendrils, which coiled towards the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul.
“That's Ghost Cultivation Art! You're a ghost cultivator!”
Han Qianzi and the other Light Faction War Remnant Souls were surprised to see Huang Shang suddenly appear and identified him as a ghost cultivator.
Under the combined refinement of Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang, the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul began to panic. Feeling his energy continuously drain away, he roared in rage. However, faced with superior numbers, he couldn't resist at all, being completely suppressed and unable to move.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang jointly refined that Dark Faction War Remnant Soul to nothingness!
Thus, this Dark Faction War Remnant Soul vanished forever, never to appear again! Normally, on this ancient battlefield, even if these War Remnant Souls were shattered, they would eventually reform and rejoin the battlefield's carnage. They had become part of this battlefield—neither disappearing nor ceasing to exist. But now things were different. That Dark Faction War Remnant Soul had been carved out from the battlefield, separated, and temporarily ceased being part of it. Being destroyed in this state meant being permanently eradicated!
“As expected of a remnant soul left behind by an Earth Immortal expert! It's brimming with such potent energy!”
After completely refining the Dark Faction War Remnant Soul, ripples of dark energy undulated around Huang Shang's pitch-black, lustrous ghost body, his strength visibly increasing somewhat.
“Indeed, I gained quite a bit as well.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Han Qianzi and the other remnant souls secretly marveled at this. They recognized the legendary Soul-Nurturing Tree.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei led his group as they continued to move through this ancient battlefield. When they spotted War Remnant Souls left behind by Light Faction experts, they would approach and make contact. When they saw War Remnant Souls left behind by Dark Faction experts, they would move in and attack directly, then proceed to refine them.
As time passed, the number of Light Faction experts they contacted grew, and the number of Dark Faction War Remnant Souls they eliminated also increased steadily. Huang Shang greatly benefited, his energy aura continuously rising. Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy also increased rapidly. This ancient battlefield had essentially become a cultivation ground for Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang!
“Ghost Cultivation Art is indeed profoundly wondrous and infinite in its mysteries!”
Han Qianzi and the other War Remnant Souls watched Huang Shang refine one Dark Faction War Remnant Soul after another, feeling both shock and envy.
“Elder Huang, what about teaching the Ghost Cultivation Art to these Light Faction War Remnant Souls as well?”
Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to Huang Shang. He naturally could see that Han Qianzi and these other Light Faction War Remnant Souls also yearned to cultivate ghost techniques. For these remnant souls, the only cultivation method they could practice was indeed the arts of ghost cultivation!
At the same time.
“What’s going on? What has happened? Why do I vaguely sense that some of the remnant souls left behind by our Dark Faction experts on this battlefield have suddenly disappeared?”
At a concealed location within this ancient battlefield, a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe was seated cross-legged. It suddenly raised its head, gazing into the distance, and spoke in a puzzled tone.
“I must investigate and figure out what exactly has occurred. As the Guardian of Spirits for the Dark Faction on this ancient battlefield, I must ensure that the War Remnant Souls of our Dark Faction here do not come to harm! Especially those of powerful experts cannot be allowed to suffer misfortune; otherwise, I cannot bear the responsibility.”
This black-robed figure stated.
Concurrently.
Deep within the ancient battlefield, inside that crystal-clear coffin resting on the altar within the vast valley, a graceful figure slowly materialized.
This was a woman of unparalleled, heavenly beauty, exuding an aura of noble and ineffable majesty.
She was enveloped in various profound laws, appearing both real and illusory, her form slightly shimmering.
“Someone is disrupting this battlefield.”
This peerless beauty’s gaze swept into the distance, piercing through space and time, instantly landing upon Ye Yunfei and his companions.
