David’s chaotic power was like invisible scissors, cutting the threads of spiritual energy that restricted him one by one.
The barrier light flashed several times, then dimmed, and finally went out completely.
The second layer of restrictions is a restriction that traps the enemy.
Once triggered, the trapped person would be confined within a prison of golden light, unable to move an inch.
David didn’t trigger it. Instead, he used the power of chaos to open a small gap in the barrier and, like threading a needle, slipped in silently.
Third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor
It took him about an hour to finally get past all the obstacles and reach the bottom of the valley.
The fog at the bottom of the valley is actually thinner than the fog at the top.
He could see that the ground was filled with various kinds of spiritual herbs, including Crimson Fire Grass, Blue Ice Heart Lotus, Purple Cloud Cloud Fungus, and Golden Golden Dragon Beard, all of which were emitting a faint light amidst the dense fog.
Each of these spiritual herbs was priceless; even one can be sold for exorbitant prices out there.
But David ignored those ordinary spiritual herbs.
He headed straight for the deepest part of the valley.
Soul Gathering Grass grew in the deepest part of the Soul Abyss, near the huge rock wall.
The appearance is very special. It is silvery white all over, with slender leaves that look like small silver swords. There are fine patterns on the leaf blades, like blood vessels or meridians.
There are seven leaves in total, arranged in a spiral, extending from base to tip.
At its top bloomed a small, pale blue flower, with petals as thin as cicada wings and golden stamens that emitted a faint light.
The neon lights flickered, as if they were breathing.
David crouched and observed carefully.
The roots of the Soul Gathering Grass were embedded in the cracks of the rock walls, from which seeped a silvery white liquid, the unique “Soul Fluid” of the Soul Abyss, which was the nutrient needed for the growth of the Soul Gathering Grass.
Soul fluid is extremely precious, just a drop is worth tens of thousands of immortal stones, but David doesn’t care about that at all at the moment.
He reached out to take it.
Just then, a frightening aura emerged from behind the stone wall.
The aura was like a mountain pressing down, like a deep abyss staring down.
David’s pupils suddenly narrowed, his chaotic power automatically activated, and purple light flowed around his body, isolating the aura from the outside.
A giant spirit beast appeared from behind the stone wall.
Its body was as big as a small mountain, covered in black scales, each scale as big as a palm, with sharp edges like knives, reflecting cold light in the dark valley.
The creature had two curved horns on its head, the tips were sharp like needles and there were still dried blood stains on them.
His eyes were blood red, with vertical pupils, like snake eyes or dragon pupils.
Its limbs were as thick as pillars, and its claws had five sharp, blade-like nails, each a foot long, enough to tear through the protective spiritual power of a True Immortal Realm expert.
His cultivation level was at the sixth rank of the True Immortal Realm.
The guardian spirit beast of the Abyss of Souls, the Black Scaled Beast.
He looked down at David from above, his blood red eyes devoid of emotion, only filled with pure killing lust.
Two bursts of hot white air shot out from his nostrils, carrying a strong and pungent smell of blood.
It opened its mouth wide, revealing rows of sharp teeth, each tooth like a dagger, tightly packed together.
Then, there was a deafening roar.
The rumbling sound was like thunder, and the entire canyon shook.
The rocks on the cliff shook, the thick fog was torn apart by the sound waves, and the spiritual plants on the ground were blown away.
The roar contained a soul attack, which turned into invisible ripples that crashed into David’s sea of consciousness.
Wherever the ripple passed, the air was distorted, and even light underwent refraction.
Within David’s sea of consciousness, the Golden Scripture of the Great Luo trembled slightly.
Golden light radiated from the Great Luo Golden Scripture, sweeping across the entire sea of consciousness like a tidal wave.
Those invisible divine soul ripples collided with the golden light, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly evaporating and disappearing.
David didn’t even blink.
A glimmer of unease flashed in the black-scaled creature’s eyes.
He felt that there was something in this human’s mind that made him afraid.
His soul attack was enough to make a rank five True God lose consciousness instantly, but this human didn’t even flinch.
However, they did not back down.
He is the guardian of the Abyss of Souls, and his mission is to eliminate all intruders.
Over thousands of years, he had wiped out countless cultivators who dared to enter the Soul Abyss, including humans, demons, beastmen, and monsters.
No one could get out alive after being trapped in its claws.
He pounced on David.
He moved as fast as lightning.
Even though its body was very large, its movements were very agile.
He took a step and shot ten zhang away in front of David.
Its right claw was raised high, and its five sharp claws formed five cold scratches in the darkness before hitting David’s head.
The power of the claw attack was enough to destroy a small mountain.
