The Land of Soul Springs was divided into several regions for the different races staying there, such as the cannibals, the demonic beasts, and the ghostrunes. Of the three, the ghostrunes occupied the largest territory. It was also in their territory that the soul springs normally sp.a.w.ned.

Through the efforts of the people before this, many of the humans had a map of this place. Thus, a lot of them rushed straight to the territory of the ghostrunes after entering. On the contrary, the territories of the cannibals and demonic beasts were much more peaceful.

At present, Xiang Shaoyun had appeared within the territory of the cannibals. He had been heading there after killing Luo Wen's group. It was an extremely desolate area occupied by rocks and oddly shaped mountains. Every now and then, some sinister and chilly wind would sweep past, making the area look even more desolate.

Xiang Shaoyun was busy roaming around the area, seemingly looking for something.

There should be a lot of good stuff in the cannibal territory as well. I heard that someone had once discovered a spirit crystal mine here. Some had also discovered an earthstone heart here as well. All those are treasures, especially the earthstone heart which can multiply the defensive power of someone cultivating the power of earth. Now that I am going to cultivate nine different powers, I need to gather many different unique powers to create the strongest battle physique possible, thought Xiang Shaoyun as he wandered around.

The earthstone heart was his main target at the cannibal territory. It was an extremely rare spiritual treasure. Similar to the millennium earthcore fire, it was something that could help a human grow even stronger. However, it wouldn't be easy to locate the earthstone heart. He had to slowly search around patiently. The most likely location of the earthstone heart was the cannibal territory. There was also a possibility that the cannibals had long kept it away.

Obtaining it wouldn't be easy, and Xiang Shaoyun had to be ready to risk his life for it. The cannibals were extremely vicious beings with extraordinary combat prowess and physical flesh that was even more terrifying than a demonic beast's. If Xiang Shaoyun encountered them, things would get extremely troublesome.

Thankfully, with his Nether Soul Domain, he was able to sense everything in his surroundings clearly. Nothing could hope to hide from him. However, even with the 360-degree detection, some dangers would arrive in a form he never expected.

A good example was what was happening currently. He had just pa.s.sed through a bush when, suddenly, some green vines stretched out and wrapped itself around him. The vines had arrived noiselessly and were extremely hard to defend against.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Shaoyun was tied up. Thorns grew from the vines and stabbed into Xiang Shaoyun's flesh.

Thump!

Suddenly, Xiang Shaoyun's body ignited.

The vines were instantly burned to a crisp before they could deal Xiang Shaoyun much damage. However, there seemed to be endless vines as new vines kept growing toward him. But the vines were completely helpless against Xiang Shaoyun, who had Yun Flame's protection. The green vines eventually realized that and started retreating.

”Trying to flee? Not so fast,” Xiang Shaoyun sneered and chased after the retreating vines.

He had already realized that they were in fact maneater vines, a type of plant that grew by trapping and devouring the blood of numerous life forms. Because of that, the maneater vines were also extremely beneficial by enriching one's vitality. In fact, a stalk of maneater vine was comparable to a top spirit medicine.

Xiang Shaoyun was not going to let such treasure escape him. With his Nether Soul Domain, he was able to sense that the vines came from a certain crack in a pile of rocks. He punched at the pile of rocks without any hesitation.

Gold Helix Fist!

His sharp golden fist energy shot out.
