Xiang Shaoyun was feigning pain, but he was in fact fully on guard against the ghostrune king. He deliberately twisted his body to one side, barely avoiding the stone spike the ghostrune king threw his way.

”Huh? What a lucky fellow,” muttered the ghostrune king in astonishment. He then flew closer to the ground before lifting a few more stone spikes and throwing them at Xiang Shaoyun.

As a King Realm expert, the ghostrune king's offensive power was far greater than a regular ghostrune's even when he was just attacking by throwing objects.

If Xiang Shaoyun was. .h.i.t, death was certain. He stopped pretending to be in pain and instantly soared upward, swinging his Purple Lightning Saber.

Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!

He used his strongest attack immediately, not holding anything back against the ghostrune king. His sudden counterattack gave the ghostrune king a fright. The ghostrune king wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. Xiang Shaoyun's slash was too fast.

Rumble!

The thunderclap shook the area as the lightning slash took the ghostrune king's life. After killing the ghostrune king, Xiang Shaoyun did not waste any time and immediately shot toward a stone mountain not far ahead.

This was the only stone mountain in the area. It wasn't exactly a tall mountain, but it had a very peculiar shape. It looked like an arm, with the peak of the mountain looking like a palm. From far away the mountain looked like the arm of a giant trying to grab some treasure from the heavens.

Based on what Hua Cheng had told him, this was where he could find the soul raising stone, and it might also be the origin of the soul spring strands. The reason he suddenly came here was because when he was on the Moon Gazing Platform, he suddenly sensed an intense calling in his head. It was as if something had formed a resonance with him, making him long to obtain that something.

Traveling in accordance to the call, he eventually reached this place, and when he arrived before the stone mountain, he stopped moving. He did not charge straight toward the mountain rashly. Not a single ghostrune could be seen.

This is too weird, thought Xiang Shaoyun. He then extended the senses of his Nether Soul Domain toward the entirety of the stone mountain. He would plan his next step after scouting the mountain.

Unfortunately, his Nether Soul Domain did not work for some reason. He was unable to see everything hidden within the stone mountain. To be precise, some sort of power seemed to be cutting off the Nether Soul Domain from the inside of the mountain, putting a veil of mystery around it.

After the failed scouting attempt, Xiang Shaoyun found that the call in his head had turned even more intense. The sensation originated from the Nether Soul Domain and Nether Dragon Soul Headband, as if something was waiting for them to devour it.

”There must be some soul treasures in there,” Xiang Shaoyun concluded.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to start climbing the mountain, he sensed a large number of ghostrune kings behind him. All of them were glaring at him ferociously. They immediately launched soul attacks at Xiang Shaoyun, trying to kill him where he stood. Unfortunately for them, the Nether Dragon Soul Headband in Xiang Shaoyun's head was a divine item which blocked all the incoming attacks.

”Stop wasting your time. You won't be able to harm me,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Vile human, you can block our attack? But that doesn't mean you will survive!” said the ghostrune king leading the group before lifting and throwing a large number of rocks at Xiang Shaoyun.
