Chapter 9: The Red Moon Disaster! Chapter 38: Soul Clan Life!
Chu Zhou was frantically collecting soul stones in the Black Mountain Secret Realm, with a spirit of scraping the ground three feet deep and plucking feathers from passing geese.
Sudden.
A large amount of strange gray fog rushed towards Chu Zhou.
The surging gray fog, as if someone was manipulating it behind the scenes, surrounded Chu Zhou from all sides, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
There were also dense groups of soul slaves who walked out of the gray fog and surrounded Chu Zhou.
"Is the person who secretly controls the soul slaves going to show up?"
Chu Zhou stopped and watched the scene calmly.
"You are very calm!"
A cold voice came from the gray fog.
Then, Chu Zhou saw a figure shrouded in milky white light.
This figure seemed to be a ball of white light, with all four limbs intact, but no flesh or blood, and no facial features.
Moreover, the light emanating from this figure was also very strange. It was not bright, but very soft, yet it could shine deep into a person's soul.
At this moment, Chu Zhou felt that his soul space was illuminated by the other party's light.
The moment he saw the other person, Chu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly.
The other party gave him the feeling of an alien life form that was completely different from humans.
At this moment, information about many races in the universe immediately emerged in Chu Zhou's mind.
"Life from the Source Clan?" Chu Zhou stared at the figure intently.
In the universe, there are six top races: Human, Zerg, Mechanical, Mana, Crystal, and Source.
Among them, humans and Zerg are both flesh and blood life forms.
The mechanical race is an intelligent life form.
The Mana tribe belongs to the plant life.
Crystal family, belongs to rock life.
The Source Clan belongs to the energy life form.
The creature in front of him had a body that was clearly made up of pure energy, which was consistent with the characteristics of energy life.
Therefore, Chu Zhou judged that the other party was an energy life.
"According to your human race classification, I do belong to the Source Clan. To be more precise, I belong to the Soul Clan within the Source Clan!"
The white figure spoke very calmly.
"Soul Clan?"
Chu Zhou frowned and asked Shen Lan to immediately find information about the Soul Clan in the database in his mind.
Shenlan quickly and accurately found the information about the Soul Clan among countless materials.
But there is not much information.
Just a short paragraph:
"The Soul Clan is a type of life form of the Origin Clan. They are usually born in places where a large number of souls gather, or in the burial places of some powerful people, or when the previous Soul Clan member died, they were bred from the soul. The Soul Clan has strange abilities and is proficient in various soul techniques!"
Just this one sentence briefly explains the Soul Clan 's affiliation, birth method, and ability characteristics.
Although there was not much information, Chu Zhou became alert.
The Soul Clan is a peculiar life form born from soul energy.
One look at it shows that it is closely connected to the soul.
Such a life is definitely not simple.
In particular, the other party seems to control many powerful soul slaves.
Such a role cannot be overemphasized.
" Did you create all the soul slaves in Black Mountain?"
Chu Zhou continued to ask.
"That's right!" The figure in white light nodded and said very frankly: "Anyway, they all died in the Black Mountain. Instead of wasting them, we might as well make use of them. I used some means to control their bodies and made them soul slaves!"
"Unfortunately, my strength is still not enough. I can't retain 100% of their strength when they were alive... I can only retain a part of it."
Chu Zhou didn't expect the other party to be so frank.
But the more honest the other party is, the higher the risk.
Generally speaking, when a person faces an enemy, he will only be honest with the enemy if he feels that the enemy is doomed to die and there is absolutely no chance of a comeback.
"There are so many soul slaves in this Black Mountain Secret Realm, and some of them are probably from very ancient times..."
"...According to this calculation, the time you spent in the Black Mountain Secret Realm should be extremely long."
"But, it seems that even the staff of the Space Adventurers' Alliance don't know you exist."
"This shows that you have been hiding in the dark and never showed up!"
"Why did you suddenly come out to see me today?"
Chu Zhou asked doubtfully.
"No reason? Because of you!" said the white figure.
Although the white figure had no facial features, at this moment, Chu Zhou could still clearly sense that two pairs of eyes were falling on him.
"Because of me?" Chu Zhou frowned.
"We, the Soul Clan, were born with abundant soul energy. Our wisdom, logical thinking, spirituality, and so on are far superior to other creatures. We can be said to be born strong, and it is much easier for us to comprehend the rules of the universe than other creatures."
"It can be said that if the difficulty for other creatures to comprehend the rules of the universe is ten, the difficulty for us Soul Clan is one!"
"Therefore, we in the Soul Clan can basically be said to be born geniuses in cultivation!"
"But... our Soul Clan also has a fatal flaw. That is, when a soul is born, if it is slightly incomplete or damaged... then its growth potential is destined to grow to the realm master level at most. Throughout a lifetime, no matter how hard you try, how long you practice, or how much you accumulate, you will never be able to be promoted to a universe master."
The white figure spoke slowly, and Chu Zhou listened carefully without any impatience.
"...This Black Mountain is where my father died. Before he died, his soul was severely damaged. He tried his best to use the remaining soul power to give birth to me... However, although he succeeded in giving birth to me, his own condition was too bad when he gave birth to me, which caused my soul to be incomplete..."
"That's right. Although I inherited my father's legacy, cultivated here for nearly 100 million years, and created and controlled many Realm Lord-level soul slaves, I am still stuck at the Realm Lord level. I can't break through to the Universe Venerable Realm no matter what."
"I know that if I continue like this, I will probably have no hope of being promoted to the Universe Venerable in this lifetime... Therefore, I decided to use the secret method of my clan to possess the bodies of other living beings. Only in this way can I break free from my own shackles and have a chance to be promoted to the Universe Venerable."
"Ever since I made this decision, I have been looking for someone to possess for tens of millions of years."
"Unfortunately, the Realm Masters who entered the Black Mountain Secret Realm before did not satisfy me..."
"...Until I met you this time!"
The figure in white light, perhaps because he had not communicated with anyone for a long time, or perhaps because his mind was extremely pure, told everyone his background, shortcomings, plans, etc. without reservation.
He wants to take over my body?
When Chu Zhou heard the white figure's plan, his pupils shrank slightly.
"You are so frank and you directly said that you want to possess my body... Is this really okay?"
Chu Zhou said this and suddenly took action.
His figure pounced towards the white light figure like lightning, with the five fingers of both hands spread out in the shape of tiger claws, and he grabbed the white light figure fiercely like a tiger catching a sheep.
Two black holes the size of babies appeared in the palms of his hands, emitting an extremely terrifying devouring force.
In an instant, the surrounding void was swallowed by the two black holes, and the distorted space flowed towards the two black holes like water.
"it's useless!"
The white light figure spoke lightly. At some point, a large number of soul slaves had already stood beside him, launching earth-shattering attacks towards Chu Zhou.
All the attacks were quickly swallowed up by the two black holes in Chu Zhou's palms.
Those soul slaves who took action were all swallowed by the two black holes.
But after Chu Zhou devoured the soul slaves that had taken action, the white light figure took the opportunity to retreat into the depths of the gray fog.
Afterwards, dense swarms of soul slaves, like locusts, rushed towards Chu Zhou from all directions.
Faced with so many realm lord-level soul slaves, including a large number of super-limit realm lord-level soul slaves, any super-limit realm lord would probably be terrified if they came.
But Chu Zhou's face was very calm.
His entire body suddenly disappeared, turning into a black hole with a human-shaped outline.
At this moment, the entire Black Mountain instantly turned dark, and all the light in it was swallowed up by the black hole in the shape of a human figure.
Montenegro has truly become the real Montenegro.
Not even a glimmer of light remains.
All the attacks were swallowed up by the human-shaped black hole.
There were still dozens of soul slaves who could not control their bodies and were swallowed up.
Then, the human-shaped black hole suddenly turned into a human-shaped white hole, and a wave of unimaginable bright light suddenly burst out from the white hole.
The originally pitch-black Black Mountain was suddenly illuminated by endless light, as if the polar day had arrived.
At the same time, unimaginable repulsive force swept across the entire Black Mountain like a tsunami.
Countless soul slaves exploded into pieces under the impact of the terrifying repulsive force.
Even if some soul slaves did not explode, they were blasted into the depths of the gray fog like meteors.
"Such strength is so strong, so powerful... Even if I have been a super-limited master for more than 60 million years, I am still not as strong as you!"
"It's a pity that you are destined to be possessed by me today."
The white figure, seeing the terrifying power that Chu Zhou unleashed, was not shocked or frightened, but was extremely delighted.
"Only such a powerful being is qualified to be my target for possession."
The white light figure said this and took out a dark gold book engraved with countless mysterious cosmic secret patterns.
And the moment this dark gold book appeared, an unimaginable pressure swept over in an instant.
The entire Black Mountain Secret Realm seemed to have suddenly stopped in time.
The gray fog sea, which was always surging and boiling, suddenly stopped.
The howling black storms in many places in the Black Mountains suddenly stopped.
Even the soul slave that was flying backwards maintained the backwards posture and suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Chu Zhou, at this moment, also felt unimaginable pressure.
Surrounded by this terrifying pressure, he found that not only could he hardly move a finger, but even his thoughts had almost come to a standstill.
In the outside world, Wu Ka and other Adventurer's Alliance staff members also changed their expressions at this moment. An extremely terrifying pressure descended upon them. Like Chu Zhou, they could hardly move, and even their thoughts stopped.
“Damn it, what on earth happened in the Black Mountain Secret Realm? How could such a terrifying pressure spread out from the Black Mountain Secret Realm…”
Wu Ka was shocked.
In the Black Mountain Secret Realm, a white figure, holding a dark gold book in his hand, walked towards Chu Zhou calmly step by step.
"In front of the 'Book of Souls' left by my father, as long as you are not a Universe Master, no matter what means you have, it will be useless..."
"During this period, I have been observing you. I know that you are proficient in the way of devouring. It seems that you can not only devour the flesh and blood of living beings, but even devour their souls."
"But... this doesn't work for me!"
"...The 'Book of Souls' will make your body and soul unable to use any tricks."
"… Stop struggling in vain, your body is mine!"
A white figure walked in front of Chu Zhou. The face without facial features suddenly transformed into two eyes, staring at Chu Zhou deeply.
Then, he pressed a finger on Chu Zhou's brow, and the whole thing quickly turned into a beam of light and penetrated into Chu Zhou's brow.
Chu Zhou watched helplessly as the white figure turned into a ray of light and penetrated into his body, but he was unable to activate the black hole to devour the other party, nor could he use any other means.
It seemed that, just as the white light figure said, no matter what means he had now, he could not use them.
He seemed destined to be possessed by the white light figure.
"Eh... It's rare that you have condensed four layers of soul armor. Could it be that you have practiced the legendary "Soul Armor", this supreme skill?"
The surprised voice of the white light figure rang out in Chu Zhou's soul space.
"According to the information left by my father...Soul Armor is an ancient secret technique that has been lost for countless years. It was created by an ancient and mysterious supreme being."
"This supreme and unique skill is coveted not only by the universe's venerables and the universe's princes of all races, but also by those universe's overlords who are almost at the top of the golden characters of all races."
"For countless years, countless giants in the universe have been searching for this unique skill. But no one has found it!"
"This unique soul skill has a huge impact on other living beings... but it is even more important to our soul clan."
"My father also spent more than 100 million years searching for the whereabouts of this unique skill, but unfortunately there was no clue at all."
"I didn't expect you to get it!"
“This…this is really great.”
"Chu Zhou, right? Thank you so much for leaving me such a great gift! From now on, when I reach the pinnacle of the universe, it will be thanks to you!"
The white figure entered Chu Zhou's soul space. After seeing the four layers of soul armor on the surface of Chu Zhou's soul body, he became extremely excited.
Then, he prepared to activate the "Book of Souls" to break the four layers of soul armor, and then use the technique of possessing Chu Zhou's soul and body.
However, at this moment, Chu Zhou also heard the voice of the attribute on the attribute panel in his heart.
"We have found an invading energy body that can be converted. Do you want to convert it into attribute points?"
The sound of the attribute panel was like a blessing from heaven to Chu Zhou.
“Transform…!”
Chu Zhou immediately conveyed his orders to the attribute panel.
