Chapter 40 - Serene Moon Cove (2/2)

He also had a profound soul cultivation base that could instantly snuff out the life of an initial-Qi Unification cultivator. What did he have to be afraid of?

”Oh, wait…”

He used his spiritual sense to cover the entire skyship, probing every last bit of it, and found a small spot on the ship that wasn't covered with anything before. He parked the ship temporarily and walked towards the formation. His eyes lit up with surprise.

”Makes sense. Considering it was stolen once, it could be stolen again.” This formation released a unique form of energy and was incredibly discreet. With his soul energies, qi and physical strength, he smashed downwards to shatter the formation. The ship shook violently, but it was still undamaged. As for the formation, it was completely and thoroughly destroyed.

His intelligence was rising as well as his own vigilance. If he had just left without checking, they would've tracked him down. He couldn't allow that to happen.

With a chuckle, he returned to the helm and flew the skyship away.

”I still have five months. I should park this baby, cultivate in a location, and then go to the Xuanwu City for the spatial platform. They should be able to send off a skyship as well.” He thought a bit and decided. Remembering the map from before, he knew there was a good location to land quietly with little exposure. It was the cove mentioned earlier by Ying Yimian. The Serene Moon Cove that Ying Yimian talked about was real, but Yan Zaizen didn't know if that was the case at the time.

During the flight, Ying Yimian informed him of the cove's existence and where it was on the map. It seemed like a good location to land. As he arrived, he discovered why it was called the Serene Moon Cove. The cove was illuminated by soft moonlight and had a wide cavern filled with it.

It was wide enough to hold the skyship, and there was no one inside. There was a reason for that, but Yan Zaizen didn't think about it too much, merely entering and landing the ship.

He stretched his arms a little with a relaxed expression. The world was finally going his way. He was free and obtained all these spoils without lifting a single finger. If there was ever such a thing like a fortuitous encounter in this world, this was it.

”Hahaha!” His laughter filled the cave. He truly felt satisfied.

Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy. The dizzy sensation turned into disorientation, and then he fell to his knees with weakness. He urged his soul energy, but it seemed like it wasn't responding. His body was still filled with powerful vital energies, and his qi was still filled to the brim with energy, but his soul energy seemed to be going inactive as if under attack. Seeing the situation, he immediately activated the formations of the ship to protect himself.

A soft thud after, he laid there unconsciously on the cold deck. His soul form exited his body, and a swirling black hole now replaced the black dot from before. The moonlight in the cove shone vigorously, but then every ray directed itself towards his soul form. The black hole at his glabella swirled even more intensely, sucking in the vibrant moonlight in the cave towards it.

The soul form's eyes shone brilliantly, and a faint trace of moonlight surged within itself. If Yan Zaizen was conscious enough to witness this, he would be shocked.

”What?!” A voice, filled with desolate horror surged out from deep within the cove.

Ying Yimian had chosen the cove because of a distinct and eerie rumor. The rumor suggested that during the full moon, an extraordinary monster would kill all within the cove. She felt it was the most logical way to entice Yan Zaizen's manly and curious side, seeking to protect the beauty and prove the rumors wrong. She never really intended to go.

However, he wasn't a native of the territory and thus had no idea about the rumors. As for her words or schemes at the time, Yan Zaizen didn't give a flying shit. One could clearly see why with the end result of the entire situation. Even if Ying Zhihao didn't take action, Yan Zaizen would've still been able to kill them both.

The black hole at his glabella immediately started growing in size, sucking in more moonlight within the cove, even the rocks and water of the cove started to be drawn into it by the powerful suction force. The horrified voice sounded out once more, ”What the hell is that thing?!”

You see, this monster was a soul form without a physical body, consuming the vital energies of its victims with the intent of reforming its body. Regrettably, only weak individuals approached the cove and thus despite it being more than several decades, he wasn't close to finishing his body. When he saw Yan Zaizen, he immediately used a soul art to attack and invade his soul with the intention to snuff it out, and we all know how that works out for anyone who tries.

Even the Heavenly Annihilation Light had to run away!!

”Wait! Wait!! Wait!!!” The voice tried to plead as its soul was sucked into the black hole. It couldn't resist one bit and felt itself being drawn in. No matter how it screamed, begged, or tried to reason and apologize, the black hole was uncaring. His soul form was devoured as well as all the moonlight that sparkled in the cove.

The soul form released rays of beautiful light, and if one looked closely, they could see a light similar to the Aurora Borealis formed within it. It had a beautiful silver-blue color, and within it was a small inky black shadow and a white flame that danced around each other like lovers.
