BXBX NOVEL Chapter 657 - City Of Souls
Editor: Atlas Studios
The Spiritual Soul continuously rushed out and gathered in the Soul Sea, spreading in this space.
In less than half a day, the continuously extending cracks and seams were also constantly opened by the soul power that surged out!
It was also at this moment that countless forces scrambled to squeeze into the gap!
Naturally, the few forces that had occupied the front had already entered.
The Death Soul City, perhaps it could not be described as a city. This place was more like a colosseum surrounded by a huge stone wall.
In this colosseum were also ancient towns of various sizes.
Perhaps it could be called a small world.
After entering the crack, in just a few seconds, Ye Qiubai discovered that he had arrived outside a city alone.
There was no sun or moonlight in the sky above the city, but there was a galaxy that was as bright as the Milky Way.
Ye Qiubai could sense an extremely powerful sealing force in the dazzling colors that were like starlight.
Could the seal of Death Soul City be built with the power of the stars as the foundation?
He looked ahead and saw an ancient city standing in front of him.
The surroundings were filled with an ancient aura.
There was a huge pillar-shaped stone pillar that pierced through the sky and the ground in the center of the city!
The star power fell from the sky and gathered in the stone pillar.
As a result, there was a shocking suppressive force around the city.
Ye Qiubai slowly stepped into the city and carefully checked his surroundings.
It was a mystic realm with very little information after all.
Every step might be filled with the danger of life and death.
Walking on the dilapidated street, the surrounding walls and tiles were broken.
All of this meant that someone had once lived here.
However, Ye Qiubai didn’t sense any vitality in this dilapidated city.
On the contrary, there was only an endless stream of divine soul aura.
This puzzled Ye Qiubai.
Since there was no vitality, where did these souls come from?
What puzzled Ye Qiubai even more was that these souls seemed to have stopped wandering after he stepped into this city and locked onto him.
Subconsciously, Ye Qiubai released the power of his soul and scanned his surroundings.
However, the aura that his soul found gave him a creepy feeling.
These souls were all souls.
The appearance of the soul was that of a humanoid, with a head and an upper body.
However, its lower body was like wisps of smoke which caused it to float in midair.
“Outsiders?”
A soul slowly floated over in front of Ye Qiubai.
The old man’s soul revealed a kind smile. “It’s been so many years. I’ve finally seen an outsider.”
Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the situation here?”
“As you can see.” Even though the old man was still smiling, there was a hint of desolation in his smile.
“This was originally a human city. However, the invasion of outsiders not only destroyed the entire city, it also trapped our souls in this city forever. We are unable to die nor enter the cycle of reincarnation.”
Invasion by outsiders’’
Suppressed in this city?
Ye Qiubai couldn’t help but look up at the stone pillar in the center of the city.
Seeing this, the old man followed Ye Qiubai’s gaze and smiled bitterly. “That’s right. That’s the culprit who suppressed us.”
Changing the topic, the old man smiled and said, “But you outsiders should be here to find inheritance opportunities, right?”
Ye Qiubai frowned slightly and nodded calmly.
“Alright, I have a clue about the inheritance in my hands. If you can undo the seal on the stone pillar and free us from reincarnation, I’ll give you this clue. How about that?”
The old man stretched out a finger and released a soul mark, as if he was afraid that Ye Qiubai wouldn’t believe him.
There was actually a wisp of Sword Intent in the mark!
“This is the clue about the inheritance. How about it?”
Ye Qiubai looked at the old man and was silent for a few seconds before nodding. “Sure, but you have to tell me how to break the seal.”
Hearing this, the old man looked a little happy. “Come with me.”
With that, he floated in the direction of the stone pillar.
Ye Qiubai followed closely behind.
The city did not look big but it still took about an incense stick of time to reach the stone pillar.
The closer he got to the stone pillar, the stronger the sealing aura became.
Ye Qiubai could feel his sea of consciousness trembling continuously…
However, the old man in front of him did not show any abnormal signs.
They reached the bottom of the stone pillar.
This place happened to be in the nether region.
Looking up, the huge stone pillar covered most of the starlight, making it look extremely dark.
The benefactor was actually covered in talismans in front of Ye Qiubai!
The talismans connected together to form a formation.
The old man’s soul pointed at these talismans and said, “Young man, you only need to break these talismans to undo the seal of this city and free us.”
Ye Qiubai asked, “What if I can’t break it with my strength?”
The old man smiled and said, “The power in the talisman has long been exhausted after all. However, the soul can’t be removed. Only by touching it physically can the seal be broken.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai nodded.
Then, he walked forward.
Every step forward, every meter closer to the stone pillar.
The old man’s soul behind him slowly widened the corners of his mouth, and the kind smile on his face was slowly filled with evilness!
The moment Ye Qiubai stretched out his hand.
The aura of the old man’s soul seemed to have begun to change!
Just as he was two fingers away from the talisman…
Ye Qiubai suddenly stopped.
Then, he turned around and looked at the old man’s soul, who had a benevolent smile on his face.
“What happened?”
Ye Qiubai suddenly smiled and said, “Perhaps the moment I tear open the seal is when you attack me, right?”
The old man pretended to be crazy and said, “What are you talking about?”
Ye Qiubai put down his hand, turned around, and said with a faint smile under the old man’s slowly cold gaze, “Since you’ve been suppressed in this city for many years, and the outsiders have directly killed all of you, why do they still suppress you? Could it be that you have monstrous strength, or do you have no choice but to suppress you?”
“Moreover, even if you were killed and suppressed for no reason, how would you know about the inheritance in the outside world? Moreover, you have important clues in your hands.”
The benevolence in the old man’s eyes completely dissipated as the corners of his mouth curled downwards.
“Moreover, why did you take out the inheritance of a sword cultivator? I clearly didn’t reveal any Sword Intent, but you already knew. This also means that you’re not an ordinary person, or rather, an ordinary soul..”
