Chapter 3997: Selfish

What was going on?

Ling Han looked over, only to see several streaks of dazzling soul light soaring into the sky. He could see them clearly even from such a far distance away.

Living souls.

F***, it was the group that had just entered.

They had obviously had a taste of success, and followed those Yin souls all the way here. It was equivalent to entering into a mountain of treasures, with treasures everywhere ready for the taking.

However, the problem was that they clearly weren’t like Ling Han, who had captured a Yin soul that had gained intelligence and found out that there was more than just an opportunity here.

-This was a Yin soul that was on the level of Sect Master, and was incredibly terrifying.

So showy, were they tired of living?

Because they were too far away, and those few people were surrounded by Yin souls, he could not see clearly who was who.

He, this may be a chance.

The strength of Ling Han’s soul had already advanced into the True Self Tier, and added with the terrifying destructive power of Destructive Energy, he would probably be able to defeat even Yin souls that were slightly weaker in the Spirit Transformation Tier.

If a Sect Master-level old yin soul did not appear, he should not be in any life-threatening danger.

This was just right. He could make use of these people to draw out the great yin soul, and he could take advantage of the opening to kill it.

Ling Han made up his mind, and sat on the sidelines, calmly waiting. In any case, the small monsters were completely useless to him, so he’d just let them kill each other and create large monsters, and only then would they be useful to him.

Moreover, it was not like the Ghost Spirit Crystal would run away.

“Hahaha, I never thought that a few living souls would actually barge in here. This is really delicious!” Amidst a long laugh, a great monster appeared. It was also in human form, but its whole body was covered with dark green spikes, that were about a foot long, and looked incredibly vicious.

When this great monster appeared, those small Yin souls seemed to have encountered their nemesis, and they all stepped back, appearing to be incredibly reverent.

Although ordinary Yin souls didn’t develop intelligence, this was an inherent suppression. Even if they didn’t have intelligence, they would still instinctively feel fear, just like how the suppression of high-level vicious beasts against low-level vicious beasts completely came from their ranks.

When these Yin souls retreated, Ling Han could see clearly that there were a total of five people. Judging by the appearances of the souls, they should all be men.

“Yi, there is actually a Yin soul that has gained intelligence!” When the five people saw the giant monster, they too looked surprised.

“Not good, the Yin soul’s oppressive power is too strong, and it’s extremely likely to reach the True Self Tier!” someone immediately said.

This caused the other four people’s expressions to become grim. Though the level suppression on the soul would be considerably smaller, this was still a large tier’s difference in cultivation level, after all. Furthermore, the True Self Tier had begun to cultivate the soul, so the True Self Tier Yin soul would also be considerably stronger in comparison.

“Gaga, living souls, you guys are right.” The giant monster laughed strangely, “I am in the True Self Tier. Your soul light is so dim, and in front of me, it is completely unable to withstand a single blow. However, you guys are living souls, and should taste extremely delicious.”

It charged over, and delivered a palm strike.

Though the five of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, they did not panic. After all, they were all supreme prodigies that had stunned an entire galaxy in the outside world, so how could they possibly not be able to maintain even the most basic level of composure?

“A Yin soul is only a Yin soul. No matter how strong it is, it is still limited!” A living soul said. He waved his hand and shot out a ray of light, which was incredibly dazzling, like it was a ray of sunlight that had pierced through the darkness.

“Yi?” The giant monster was shocked, and stretched out a hand to parry, destroying this ray of light. However, a wisp of smoke rose from its hand, and its soul was slightly weakened.

Of course, for its colossal size, this little loss was negligible, and there was absolutely no need to be concerned.

“Living souls are really quite hard to deal with,” the large monster said. Then, with a shake of its body, a chain was thrown out, sweeping towards the five people.

That was Dark Frost Iron.

The five of them channeled the soul technique and attacked the giant monster.

They were all top-notch prodigies, so it wasn’t strange for them to have mastered soul techniques.

The soul technique could greatly increase the battle prowess of the soul. When the five great prodigies joined forces, their might was astonishing.

However, the giant monster was a True Self Tier elite, and it wasn’t one that had just advanced into the True Self Tier. Instead, it had devoured a great many Yin souls of the same cultivation level, allowing the strength of its soul to reach the late stage of the True Self Tier. Thus, this gulf was massive, and could not be compensated by mere soul techniques.

Even if the five prodigies teamed up, they were still no match for the giant monster. They were beaten into an extremely sorry state.

Ling Han was just about to make a move, when the alliance of five people suddenly crumbled. One of them suddenly turned around and left, leaving his companions behind.

He used the other four people to hold back the giant monster, buying time for his own escape. “Wang En, you are too despicable!” Immediately, someone rebuked. Then, he too turned around and fled.

In this way, the speed at which this alliance crumbled was even faster.

The other three were also unwilling to sacrifice themselves, and hurriedly turned and fled as

well.

Ling Han frowned. He had already decided to make a move, but looking at the appearance of these five people, he felt bitterly disappointed.

This kind of person was selfish, so what was there to save them for?

He withdrew his gaze, and turned towards the centre of the barrage of Yin souls.

The Ghost Spirit Crystal was definitely there.

He charged over. For Yin souls, living souls were a sweet and irresistible temptation. The nearby Yin souls immediately surged over, surrounding him like floodwaters.

Ling Han did not linger in battle. By now, this kind of minor character could no longer be of any benefit to him. He moved swiftly. Only when there was really no other path left for him, would he move, and shatter the Yin soul in front of him.

Not too long later, he had arrived at the central area.

A stone pillar suddenly stood erect here. It was a few meters wide, but its height was 300 meters. After arriving here, Ling Han could clearly sense that there seemed to be something at the top of the stone pillar that was incredibly attractive to him.

The Ghost Spirit Crystal was at the top of the stone pillar.

Ling Han immediately began to climb. Using both his hands and feet, his speed was extremely

fast.

In less than a few seconds, he had arrived at the top of the stone pillar. As expected, there was a black crystal on it. It was almost transparent, but there were countless veined patterns on it. If one stared at it, it seemed to have a powerful attraction that could absorb one’s soul as well. Ling Han didn’t hesitate at all as he grabbed the black crystal. He then wrapped his soul around it and stored it inside his body.

He leaped down. Peng, his soul crashed into the ground, instantly creating a massive shockwave. One after another, Yin souls were sent flying, turning into straws in the sky. There was no more value here. Ling Han rapidly ran. This kind of place that was used to create intelligent Yin souls was definitely not the only one. Thus, he only had to go to another area, and he would definitely be able to obtain even more Ghost Spirit Crystals.

As he ran, Ling Han refined the Ghost Spirit Crystal with his soul. He felt copious amounts of power surge into his body, strengthening his soul. Although its speed wasn’t as fast as slaughtering Yin souls, it wasn’t slow either.

More importantly, he no longer had any profit from killing ordinary Yin souls, so the value of

the Ghost Spirit Crystal was clearly displayed.

“Stop right there!” A voice suddenly rang out from within his body.

He was a soul, so this voice was actually transmitted through his divine sense. Ling Han turned around to look. There was a person chasing after him. It was one of the five people from before, and it was that Wang En who had fled at the first instant.
