Chapter 284 286 True Power
Rong Xianxian carefully probed her mental power into the red straight knife. She was ready to be attacked immediately. In a battle at the mental level, there were almost no tricks that could be used. She could only use a method similar to that of a wild beast to see which side had greater strength and endurance.
It is precisely because of this fighting style that unless there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they generally cannot do anything to each other.
That's why Rong Xianxian dared to come in and test, because even if she couldn't win, she could still run away.
Rong Xianxian originally thought that as long as she probed her mental power, she would be able to discover the unidentified red object. After all, this red straight knife was only about one person tall. As long as she entered, she would be able to see the internal structure clearly.
However, after Rong Xianxian entered, she found that it was not the case at all. She seemed to have entered a muddy swamp, surrounded by a sticky and stagnant substance, her vision and hearing were blocked, her movements were slow, and her mental power felt like being pricked by dense needles, as if she was being paralyzed, squeezed, and wrapped, until... being assimilated.
Rong Xianxian was eager to withdraw her mental power. She had been thinking wrongly before. She thought she had the home advantage in the misty space of Yushi, but subconsciously ignored that the knife should be the home of the red unidentified object.
This is bad. Before I even found my opponent, I was already attacked.
Moreover, this attack was not led by the unidentified red object, but was the characteristic and instinct of the knife. This sticky and sticky substance could not be escaped or thrown away, and seemed to exist in every corner of the knife.
It seems that devouring souls is the characteristic and instinct of this knife, and sucking essence, blood and the source of life is just a small benefit given to the host.
In this way, this knife can be said to be a weapon specifically designed to defeat the soul. This is the true power of this red straight knife.
That’s not right. If that was the case, how did Ji Cunxi manage to subdue the knife before, and how did he coexist with the red unidentified object in his sea of consciousness for so long?
Rong Xianxian struggled several times but failed to get rid of this sticky and sticky feeling. Instead, her consciousness became a little fuzzy and her reactions gradually became slow. She was pushed and slid deeper and farther without realizing it.
With a "boom" sound, a sound like thunder exploding in the ground came from Rong Xianxian's soul, which made her wake up all of a sudden. In an instant, her whole body felt relaxed, her mind was clear, and her soul became more stable and solid.
Rong Xianxian looked carefully at the place where she was and found that she had unknowingly come to an empty valley. There was no sticky and sticky stuff here. Instead, there were many scattered light balls floating like wandering souls. There was an invisible barrier that trapped these light balls here.
Rong Xianxian grabbed one of the light balls and tapped it lightly. A series of pictures automatically appeared in her mind: tall and dense forests, mottled and swaying shadows of trees, people running away screaming, blood on the ground, and the feeling of the sweet red blood rushing into her throat. Just by looking at these pictures, she could tell that this was the memory of a monster that died at the hands of a knife. Looking at these pictures, Rong Xianxian could also feel the excitement and pleasure of the monster when it ate people.
It seems that these light balls are the memories of the souls who died under the knife.
After Rong Xianxian touched this ball of light, the halo became noticeably dimmer.
Every time these scattered, floating light balls touch each other or the surrounding barriers, the light balls will become smaller and the halo will become much dimmer.
If this situation continues, these floating light balls will gradually dissipate like bubbles, leaving no trace.
Rong Xianxian carefully avoided these floating light balls and looked at the unidentified object emitting red light in the center of the valley.
From time to time, clusters of memory light floated out from this unidentified object emitting red light, as if it was cleaning up garbage.
Every time some light balls were cleared away, the volume of this red light would become smaller. Compared to the last time it was seen, this red light had become smaller, and its color looked much lighter. Its shape had also changed. It no longer had violent aggressiveness, and now it looked exhausted after excessive consumption.
The goal of this trip has been found.
Rong Xianxian rubbed her hands. At this moment, she felt like she was fighting a desperate battle. She had really entered the enemy's lair. She couldn't escape and could only fight to the death.
Rong Xianxian walked closer to the ball of red light, gritted her teeth, and reached out to grab the ball of red light. With a "bang", a large ball of red light was bounced out and she caught it. With a "boom", her mind was like a movie playing, and she suddenly received a lot of memories.
"Dad, Yang Chao is not a good guy either. He actually forced me to give him the knife. Dad, what should I do?" Ji Cunxi shouted unwillingly.
"Buzz" The sickle-shaped knife seemed to sense his pain, the blade vibrated and a buzzing sound came.
Ji Cunxi then seemed to hear Ji Qingli's call, asking him to calm down and feel the inside of the knife.
It turned out that after Ji Cunxi accidentally injured Ji Qingli, because the two of them had the same origin and Ji Cunxi was seriously injured, Ji Qingli's life essence was sucked away by the sickle-shaped knife and his soul was devoured in a very short time.
Ji Qingli's soul was devoured all at once, not bit by bit like the previous victims. In addition, he was a cultivator at the top of the Chongmai Realm after all, and his soul was solid, so he was able to remain conscious after being devoured.
He didn't understand the situation at first, and when he reacted, half of his soul had been swallowed up by the red light ball. The red light ball was a mixture of the human and monster souls swallowed by the sickle.
Ji Cunxi always stops when sparring with others. In the process of slowly wearing away human souls, most of the time their consciousness and memories are wiped out. However, when Ji Cunxi fights monsters, most of the time he kills the monsters directly, so the monsters' souls are relatively intact. At that time, Ji Cunxi's emotional state is easily out of control, which is due to the influence of the monsters' souls.
Ji Qingshi was unwilling to be swallowed up like this. While fighting against the red light ball, he discovered a scene. After the red light ball swallowed up enough spiritual power, the sickle-shaped knife would be upgraded from a spiritual weapon to a soul weapon.
During the upgrade process, the red light ball formed by devouring countless souls will undergo some changes, absorbing the essence and eliminating the dross, thus forming a new consciousness.
When this new consciousness is about to take shape, if you separate a bit of your mental power and inject it into its interior, it will be recognized by this newborn consciousness and you will be able to completely control the knife.
