Chapter 197 Unexpected Gains
When he thought about the fact that there was a lot of high-quality evil energy underground, Jieming was filled with energy.
He soared into the sky again and flew directly to a height of hundreds of meters.
Looking down at the city ruins that he had razed to the ground, the "great light" behind him unfolded in the area again!
This time, his goal was no longer to clear the snow monster, but to... dig.
"Maximum power output! Concentrate and blast it open!"
As Jieming gave the order, thousands of talismanic magic weapons behind him instantly adjusted their angles, and all of them were aimed at the area below where the evil energy was the most concentrated.
Benjamin even used the same tactics he used against the third-level lava giant, using the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror to assist and focus all the attacks at one point.
Thousands of talismanic magical weapons exploded at the same time, no longer bombarding in a scattered manner, but focusing on one point, forming energy beams that were thick enough to destroy mountains. Like a divine punishment from heaven, they fiercely bombarded the frozen ground below!
A beam of destructive light that was more concentrated and thicker than any previous one, with a terrifying power that was enough to penetrate the mountains, bombarded the ruins below fiercely.
Boom boom boom!!!
The city was shaking, no, the entire ice pit, and even the ice fields farther away, were shaking violently under Jemin's terrifying saturation bombing!
The violent energy tore through the hard permafrost and bedrock at the speed of light, the glaciers cracked into huge gullies, and the thick ice layer instantly vaporized under the impact of high temperature, making a deafening roar.
Countless broken rocks and ice chips were thrown hundreds of meters into the air, flying like a rainstorm.
The earth was wailing, and the glacier was blasted into bottomless cracks.
Benjamin was suspended in the air, his eyes calm.
His "Great Light Phase" was operating at full power, and every energy bullet hit the designated area accurately without any waste.
As the bombing continued, it was visible to the naked eye that a huge deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters was extending downwards at an alarming speed!
The resulting shock wave almost completely emptied the surrounding air, forming a huge energy vortex.
He bombarded continuously for nearly ten minutes, consuming most of the energy stored in a "metal disk".
When Benjamin finally felt that the rock layer below was no longer so solid and the energy beam encountered a layer of resistance similar to a "void", he slowly retracted the flames of the "Great Light Phase".
A bottomless, irregular columnar hole appeared before his eyes. Its depth was difficult to estimate, and the lower end was covered by overturned rubble and diffused dust.
Jemin took a deep breath, first turned off the magic network terminal on his body, and then stuffed it into the space inside his body to ensure that this thing could absolutely not detect anything happening in the outside world.
After doing all this, he raised his hands, twisted the magic formulas flexibly with his fingertips, and recited the spell silently.
The pure true energy in the middle stage of foundation building in his body was mobilized in large quantities like a flood, and it continuously flowed into the magic formula, making each hand seal emit a faint white light.
These true essences were eventually condensed into a mysterious "evil-attracting" medium spell, which slowly formed at the fingertips.
"go!"
With a light shout, Benjamin suddenly shot the talisman condensed with true energy into the deep pit!
The talisman left a white trail, disappeared in a flash, and quickly fell into the cold and deep darkness.
This spell is one of the methods of collecting evil spirits, specifically designed to deal with "primary conceptual materials" like Yin Sha Qi.
The "primary" in this name does not mean level, but "sequence", corresponding to which is "secondary conceptual material".
If spiritual power is "electricity", then "secondary conceptual materials" such as refined gold, mortal energy, and flower dew are the "light" or "mechanical energy" created by "electricity".
The production process of these secondary concept materials must involve the participation of spiritual energy. Although it can increase the types of resources to a certain extent, it is indeed inseparable from the existence of spiritual energy.
And "primary concept materials" are probably similar to coal and solar energy.
In essence, these things are not spiritual energy, but they can be transformed into spiritual energy through various methods.
This type of conceptual material was originally created to solve the problem of insufficient spiritual energy, so its biggest feature is that it can be self-generated and create something out of nothing.
The creation of these things does not necessarily require the participation of spiritual energy, as long as there is a "triggers".
For example, this Yin Sha Qi, as long as various conceptual conditions are met, under normal circumstances, the cultivator only needs to send out a wisp of the same Yin Sha Qi as a fuse, and the remaining Yin Sha Qi that meets the conditions can automatically condense.
Of course, if there is no inducer, the spiritual energy can also be "edited" into the required inducer - the so-called method of attracting evil spirits.
In the deep pit, there was a moment of dead silence...
Then, a chilling and cold aura suddenly burst out from the bottomless tunnel!
Tsk!!!
A sinister aura so thick that it seemed to be condensing into substance, like a black torrent bursting through a dam, gushed up from the bottom of the deep pit like a fountain, carrying with it a biting chill and an indescribable stench!
They were extremely fast and instantly filled the entire giant pit, even rushing out of the pit, forming a diffuse gray mist on the surrounding ice field.
Benjamin didn't care about the emptiness and slight dizziness that came with the loss of most of his true energy at once.
A flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took out the magic weapon "Gathering Evil Gourd" that was specially used to collect Yin Sha from his inner space.
He made hand seals and placed the gourd upside down vertically to block the entrance of the cave.
The mouth of the gourd seemed to turn into a bottomless black hole, emitting a "buzzing" suction force, collecting all the evil energy that was gushing up without leaking a trace.
When he first started collecting, seeing the almost visible growth of the Caisha Gourd's reserves, Benjamin was filled with joy.
He knew he had struck gold!
As time went by, he became more and more happy, even ecstatic, because the absorption speed of the Caisha Gourd had hardly slowed down!
But when he discovered that the evil energy was still pouring out of the cave entrance, and within just a few minutes it had reached a theoretically unimaginable amount, Benjamin's expression gradually changed from ecstasy to horror!
He was shocked to discover that as the collection time went by, the amount of evil energy not only did not decrease at all, but was accompanied by some kind of low pulsation coming from deep underground, and the speed of its outflow was gradually accelerating, and even increasing!
Moreover, what really made his scalp tingle was that the quality of these evil auras was still increasing at a terrifying speed!
They gradually transformed from their original gray color to bottomless pure black, as if they condensed all the resentment and death in the world.
In the end, they were even approaching dark black, which meant that their quality had reached top level!
The Caisha Gourd, which theoretically did not need to worry about capacity issues, now made a buzzing sound as if it was overwhelmed, and the talismans on its surface even showed signs of overload!
"It's full... full?!" Benjamin exclaimed in disbelief.
Judging from the information provided by the Dao Book Pavilion, this evil-collecting gourd is able to collect the total amount of evil energy generated when the ecosystem of a continent is completely destroyed!
He had to take the time to mobilize the raw materials from the space in his body, and hurriedly pinched out another temporary Caisha gourd with his other hand!
Although this temporary gourd is simple, it can temporarily absorb the constantly surging evil energy.
However, even though the two gourds and his own "Xuan Gang Hong Chen Zhan" were instinctively devouring the surrounding evil energy, the amount that was pouring out still showed no signs of decreasing!
"Now this quantity is no longer a problem of the ancient battlefield..." The information in the wizard legion database quickly flashed through Benjamin's mind.
According to the information obtained by the wizards after two years of investigation and archaeological research, the two races, the lava giants and the snow monsters, have a known history of just over 10,000 years since their records began!
This level of evil energy would never produce such a terrifying effect even if all the ancient battlefields in the Flame Frost Plane were concentrated in this one area!
"So! There must be a bigger problem underneath!" Uncontrollable curiosity surged in Benjamin's heart!
Looking at the two Caisha gourds in his hands, whose reserves were once again approaching the limit, and the dark evil energy that was still gushing upwards.
Jieming had no choice but to mobilize his remaining true energy and cast a sealing spell.
Since it is impossible to collect all of them, we can only temporarily block the source.
Otherwise, if this thing spreads out, not only the Yeti side, but even the wizards' frontier outposts will be affected.
He didn't hide his whereabouts when he came here before. If he finds something wrong and someone comes to investigate, it will be a big trouble!
Fortunately, the evil energy itself is relatively "inert".
Although the outbreak is terrifying, its spread and diffusion is relatively slow without human intervention.
Therefore, an ordinary sealing spell is enough to seal it.
As the talismans and restrictions around the cave entrance lit up, the surging evil energy was finally suppressed, temporarily stopping the gushing out, leaving only wisps of it dissipating.
This level of spillage is completely acceptable, and the natural ecosystem is capable of neutralizing it before it causes greater negative impacts.
But it’s not a good idea to keep blocking it like this. We still have to solve the source.
Benjamin did not rush down, but sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath, allowing himself to fully recover from the slightly weak state caused by the consumption of most of his true energy at one time.
He took some potions to replenish his mental strength.
Then, his eyes flashed, and he jumped without hesitation into the bottomless pit filled with chilling air!
Benjamin's intuition told him that there was a huge secret hidden underneath that was enough to shock the entire plane!
As soon as he entered the deep pit, a thick evil aura surrounded him like an evil spirit.
With the "Xuan Gang Hong Chen Zhan" protecting him, Jie Ming was not too worried that these wandering evil spirits would have any substantial impact on him.
In a sense, these scattered high-quality Yin Sha Qi will only become the best nutrients for the "Xuan Gang Hong Chen Zhan", nourishing the core Gang Sha and further enhancing its defense.
