Chapter 682: 310: Cannon Fodder Battle, Discovering Destiny Seed
Although Han Yi had prepared himself for an attack as soon as he entered, this sudden and unexpected scream still shook his Divine Soul.
Based on his past experiences, he instinctively slapped his Spirit Plate without even thinking. Spirit Light proliferated and simultaneously, starlight emerged from his robe, enveloping him within a meter radius.
Spiritual Treasure, Xuanhuang Taiji Plate.
Spiritual Treasure, All Heavens True Form Diagram.
Bang!
A terrifying fluctuation struck him. The starlight shone, and three stars on his robe shattered after reaching their peak of brilliance.
In just a twinkling moment of resistance, the Spirit Light on the Xuanhuang Taiji Plate completely enveloped itself.
Then, it quickly shrank back, transforming into a single spirit point.
A scarlet bone blade cut through the space, piercing this spirit point. The spirit point silently shattered, dissolving into the void.
In the spirit point’s place stood a giant Ghost Witch over three meters tall.
Ghost Witches, not a race from the Immortal Path world, made their first appearance in the Immortal Path world as one of the Intelligence Realm Subordinate Races after the invasion of the Wisdom Realm.
This is a unique and powerful creature, with a scarlet body, small bird-like head, and three parallel eyes on its face. Its pupils emit a scarlet glow. The body is about three meters tall, slender, and with long arms hanging down. Bone blades of various lengths on the arms make it look ferocious and eerie.
This Ghost Witch, unfazed by Han Yi’s sudden disappearance, opened its enormous mouth, which was almost half the size of its head, making it look extremely terrifying.
Next, with a flash, it appeared beside another Nascent Soul cultivator who had just arrived. It shrieked and waved its arms, the bone blades slicing through the air. Even space seemed like a solid under the pressure of its blade-like arms, ripped open temporarily before quickly mending.
This Nascent Soul cultivator had just enough time to activate a defensive magic skill and was about to use a killing move when he saw his defense skill torn apart by the bone blades, and the Spirit Light on his robe extinguished within a blink.
Whoosh!
The bone blades slashed, and the cultivator’s body was split in two like paper.
This Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had inferior defensive capabilities compared to Han Yi and was killed at the hands of the Scarlet Ghost Witch with just one exchange.
Next.
Before the upper half of the corpse even fell to the ground, the Scarlet Ghost Witch exposed its fanatical expression. Its originally gaping mouth opened wider, and a terrifying suction force targeted the two severed halves of the Cultivator’s body. Instantaneously, the body parts soared into the air, shrank, and fell into the Ghost Witch’s mouth.
Even the Nascent Soul that had just fled its body was not able to escape and entered the Ghost Witch’s mouth with a horrified expression.
Crunch!
The crisp sound of chewing suddenly rang out. In just a short half breath, the scarlet color on the Scarlet Ghost Witch’s body deepened.
This was just a trivial corner of the endless battlefield within the dimension.
If the view was widened, two hundred meters from this Scarlet Ghost Witch, another Ghost Witch was slain by a white-robed youth who had just arrived. The remains of the witch crumbled into pieces and fell onto the scarlet ground below, melding with it and disappearing in a blink. The white-robed youth was none other than Bai Yuya, who had been standing with Han Yi. He raised his eyebrows, looking solemn as he watched the scene unfold.
Near Bai Yuya, the 27-member temporary team assembled one after another. However, all 27 had been attacked simultaneously, and among them, 7 cultivators had already lost their lives to the Scarlet Ghost Witch’s bone blades in the first exchange. One of them had even been a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.
Appearing next to Bai Yuya, Dong Chang had a grave look on his face.
“These Ghost Witches are not right.”
In Dong Chang’s hand, he held a long sword with a scarlet head skewered on it. The head was now visibly decomposing into a scarlet gas that fell to the ground, permeated it, and disappeared from sight.
In just three breaths, the Ghost Witch’s head had vanished without a trace.
Bai Yuya nodded: “Let’s first gather the Cultivators and discuss other matters later.”
“Where is Han Yi?”
As his gaze scanned the surroundings, he could not find the familiar figure. As several Scarlet Ghost Witches approached, Bai Yuya had to deal with the immediate crisis first.
At this moment, from his position, the deeper layers of the territory appeared like a battlefield for Spirit Transformation Level cultivators. This was followed by the Half-Immortal Level battleground.
As the layers descended, the space shrank.
Viewed from a macro perspective, the Scarlet Dimension was an inverted tower. The deeper the space, the smaller it became, eventually culminating at the top of the tower.
As Han Yi suddenly fell from the Immortal Boat along with nearly ten thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, and summoned by Tian Yi Immortal into the Scarlet Dimension, a gigantic heart-like object, with a volume of about one cubic meter, appeared in a space several tens of miles wide at the bottom layer of the dimension—or the top of the inverted tower—and thumped violently once.
This huge heart was entirely white, and countless white tubes connected it to the surrounding space, their other ends disappearing into nothingness.
