Chapter 302: Chapter 271: Soul Collecting_1

Hum!

Prince Jade squeezed the finger Jue, causing the entire hall to quiver slightly. A black curtain of light rose, enveloping everyone within.

This black light curtain was something Xu Mu had seen for the first time, and a trace of surprise couldn’t help but appear in his eyes.

As the curtain rose, Prince Jade soared to the front of the God Refining Tripod, casting spell after spell into it. The originally calm God Refining Tripod began to show faint traces of golden light, and the dim runes also gradually took effect.

The others quickly flew up to the tripod and started executing their spells, harnessing the power from their respective tripods.

The originally ordinary ground began to display a web of veins giving off a golden light. These veins connected to form a complex formation network.

The light rose from the ground and converged towards the central God Refining Tripod. Xu Mu felt his own spiritual power beginning to be absorbed and depleted.

What it boils down to is that I am basically a battery!

He complained in his heart.

However, this was quite normal. Based on their cultivation and abilities, even if the God Refining Tripod was given to them, they couldn’t control it either.

The majority of the work was to assist. While Prince Jade operated the God Refining Tripod, they could use the nine tripods to help lessen the pressure on him.

The God Refining Tripod, which at first only glowed faintly, immediately shone brightly like it had come to life and turned golden once it received the assistance of the nine grand tripods.

“Open!”

Prince Jade huffed lightly, and the lid of the God Refining Tripod gradually opened.

“If not now, when!”

Prince Jade scanned his surroundings, and people like Xu Lingyu immediately sat cross-legged. Then, ethereal soul bodies flew out of them.

This was a method of soul leaving the body that only soul cultivators could effortlessly employ. It was greatly different from ordinary cultivators simply releasing their souls.

These soul bodies hovered in front of each person. After executing some unknown spell, they suddenly emitted pulsating waves of exceptional fluctuations.

Xu Mu could feel the fluctuations, as if his hand was placed in water. The force of the surge was very clear, but he was not able to see, nor could his Divine Intent capture, anything.

With the mysterious soul waves being released, the originally calm Nine Layered Hell suddenly started howling with gusty winds.

Whoo, whoo!

Just like the eerie winds blowing across the mountains!

The sound of the wind grew louder, and indistinct murmurs of people could be heard.

Like shrieks of pain and despair, mixed with cursing and begging, as if the world was being cursed constantly.

This scene would scare an ordinary person out of their wits, but for the people present, it was nothing to bother about.

They were cultivators, all of whom were great individuals in the middle and later stages of the Golden Pill cultivation. Even if real demons and ghosts appeared, they would have no option but to bow down before them.

“They are here!”

Xu Mu opened his eyes to see strands of black smoke passing through the black barrier and entering the hall.

Its targets weren’t Prince Jade or the grand tripod, but Xu Lingyu and the other cultivators who had their soul bodies outside.

This is the role of bait!

They would attract all the resentful remnants lingering in the prison.

Hum!

At this juncture, Prince Jade activated the power of the God Refining Tripod. An invisible aura appeared, generating a powerful suction force that pulled all the black smoke into the grand tripod.

“Aaaaah!”

Faint cries, like mosquito whines, came from the grand tripod.

Xu Mu also felt that the depletion rate of his spiritual power had greatly increased.

This is soul refinement!

“You all take turns presiding over it!”

Prince Jade’s voice came out.

Everyone could only nod in agreement.

Then Prince Jade left the control of the grand tripod. Relying on the nine separate tripods, everyone took turns to stimulate the power of the God Refining Tripod, absorbing the constant surge of black smoke.

Prince Jade focused on restoring his spiritual power in order to remain in the final moments when he could refine the remnants’ souls.
