Chapter 220: Slicing Houyan Meili

Lu Zheng slashed a large soul beast's belly and it howled in pain. It looked around warily but it could not even see Lu Zheng that stood by it. It blew a strong gale from its nose and laid on the ground again as its wound healed.

"Interesting" Lu Zheng's pupils glistened in the dark. He knew that soul beasts would not be able to sense him but he did not expect it to reach this extent.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Lu Zheng brandished Mei Luan multiple times in a moment, designing the body of the soul beast. It observed its surroundings but did not sense any intruder. It laid down once more to heal itself.

Lu Zheng did not stop attacking the soul beast. He wanted to test the limits of how much he could hide from a soul beast.

"Howl!"

The soul beast howled angrily and charged at another soul beast. Even though it was Lu Zheng that attacked it, it felt that it was this other soul beast that was playing pranks on him.

"Growl!"

The other soul beast growled angrily and soon, both beasts fought angrily.

"Oh no" Lu Zheng quickly ended their lives. He knew that if they continued fighting, a beast tide might erupt.

The Soul Absorbing Gem absorbed the soul beasts directly and streams of soul energy flowed into Lu Zheng. Normally, the streams of soul energy gave Lu Zheng strong battle intent but he wasn't fighting, the streams of soul energy became his soul foundation.

In an instant, his soul foundation rose from the two hundred and seventy thousand man soul level to the three hundred and thirty thousand man soul level. The change was staggering.

Lu Zheng smiled. When he looked around, he did not see soul beasts anymore. All he saw were oversized walking soul path cultivation materials.

Lu Zheng walked deeper into Death Domain. His soul foundation had already reached the six hundred thousand man soul level. He held the jar of Houyan Meili's soul fragments before him.

"This way" Lu Zheng muttered as he walked in the direction the pink flame leaned towards.

Death Domain was filled with a near infinite amount of soul beasts. Lu Zheng killed them as he moved and his soul foundation increased steadily.

Death Domain was meant to be incredibly dangerous because of the many soul beasts but for Lu Zheng, it was only a field for increasing his soul foundation and the soul energy in the Soul Absorbing Gem.

Soon, Lu Zheng saw many souls that had humanoid shapes. They were the souls of dead people that had been absorbed into Death Domain. The dead souls were innumerable but Lu Zheng ignored them.

Even if their soul energy was greater than that of soul beasts, they were incredibly impure. If Lu Zheng wasn't careful, his soul would become tainted with negative emotions.

Time trickled by slowly and soon, he found Houyan Meili's dead soul.

Her figure was dull and grey as she walked around randomly. It was as if she did not notice Lu Zheng.

~The dead souls of Death Domain are constantly searching for Life Domain in order to be revived. Yet, Life Domain doesn't exist anymore. This is the only way to revive a dead soul~

Wind Essence formed around Lu Zheng and a sharp wind blade shot towards Houyan Meili's dead soul. The wind blade sliced her form in two before disappearing.

Houyan Meili's figure scattered into wisps of soul energy before forming into a small sphere the size of an adult's head. It was a soul core.

Lu Zheng sealed the soul core from the absorbing power of the Soul Absorbing Gem and kept it in his pocket. After pushing his soul foundation to the eight hundred thousand man soul, Lu Zheng used the spatial artifact of Gentle Mist Province.

"Gubble, gubble~"

The phantom of a river appeared beneath Lu Zheng, rising to his knees. Strong time path aura radiated from the river.

Lu Zheng was shocked: "This method uses the tributary of the River of Time in the Gate of Life and Death as a method to leave"

Tributaries of the River of Time were present everywhere and they all led to the River of Time. In a way, the tributaries of the River of Time were linked to every place in the world.

The phantom of the river carried Lu Zheng away and in a few breaths of time, Lu Zheng was in a random place in Yama Battlefield.

He could not even see the shadow of the twin pillars of the Gate of Life and Death.

"So the transportation is random" Lu Zheng guessed before storing Houyan Meili's soul core in his spatial artifact.

He willed out a talisman and spoke to someone before flying away. A gust of wind blew past as he moved through the air.
