The Innate Spirit Summoning Technique is the cultivation method from Ye Feng's previous life. The techniques of cultivators do not have ranks; they are only classified as good or bad. Even in his past life, where Spirit Energy was abundant, the Spirit Summoning Technique was considered an Exceptional Wasteful Young Master. Its effects are numerous.
Not only can it help practitioners extract their cultivation from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but it can also evolve into impressive skills. Previously, Ye Feng managed to fight Lan Yuanfeng on equal footing by unleashing the third layer's power.
Now, he has successfully advanced to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement! However, he has not yet had the time to break through the martial artist's meridians; otherwise, even without the Divine Soul's enhancement, he could evolve to the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm!
In just a few months, this speed of cultivation is astonishing. With a calm mind, Ye Feng is aware that outside his Ice Barrier, the Phantom Demon and the terrifying Shadow Phantom's Grieving Tiger are watching him closely! He plans to attempt an unprecedented battle strategy!
"Alright, kid, I admit you are somewhat different. However, you have not fully developed the function of the Soul Guiding Banner. Acting recklessly like this—are you not afraid that the creatures you summon will be uncontrollable?"
Xuan Lao sensed what he intended to do but thought more deeply about the implications of this layer and felt compelled to remind him cautiously.
Ye Feng understood this principle well; however, the current situation was far from optimistic, and he had little time left to consider his options!
"Xuan Lao, everything has to have a first time. It is impossible for me to give up on this Nine Nether Divine Tree! The reason these Phantom Demons have yet to attack is likely because they fear my strength and want me to retreat. Unfortunately for them, I will push against the current!"
Ye Feng spoke with a heavy tone, his expression revealing an unwavering determination.
Hearing this, Xuan Lao sighed, knowing that further persuasion would be futile and chose not to say more.
At that moment, a terrifying shadow suddenly surged forward! The Phantom Demons saw their ancestor take action and immediately followed suit, forming an offensive momentum.
Yet Ye Feng did not move his feet at all. He gazed at those emotionless transparent monsters with a serious expression while his hand holding the Soul Guiding Banner trembled slightly!
It was not fear! He was silently reciting the incantation for the fourth layer of the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique! Once this incantation was completed, unimaginable things would occur!
"Innate Divine Ability, all things born from spirit; with my Vital Energy, awaken Soul Beast!"
A somewhat terrifying phrase was calmly uttered from Ye Feng's mouth! At the same time, the Soul Guiding Banner fluttered without wind! No flag appeared to flash with obscure light~! That was Eerie Light!
Eerie Light surged forth! The atmosphere in the entire space became chaotic! A strange aura permeated around Ye Feng! This aura resembled a Pentagram! The formation's pattern was quite complex! However, the caster deeply understood what it truly was!
"Come forth! My summoned Soul Beast!" Ye Feng sensed the hidden annihilation aura beneath the formation and shouted through gritted teeth! He could no longer care about anything else!
As soon as these words were spoken, the Phantom Demons began to feel anxious! They were the first to sense a wave of fear in the atmosphere! It was as if something extraordinary was about to emerge!
Only Ghostly Grief remained remarkably calm, watching the transformation of the formation without any sign of disturbance!
Until an Armored Soul General flashed into existence from the bottom of the formation!
"Woo woo woo!" The Phantom Demons began to emit sounds of trepidation; they had no eyes but could accurately sense changes in the air!
Before them stood this armored figure that resembled a human but had no face, exuding a ghostly aura, and wielding a Phantom Great Blade! It blocked the path of the Phantom Demons with a menacing presence!
Ye Feng successfully completed the summoning, exhaling a breath of turbid air, his expression slightly pale from exhaustion. The dual effort of innate energy and soul guiding had drained most of his strength; however, this bold attempt seemed to be a good choice!
At least, the fact that Ghostly Grief showed signs of wanting to retreat proved something!
"Wow, you actually managed to summon such a Soul General..." Xuan Lao, who initially wanted to remain silent, could no longer contain his astonishment! He could clearly sense how terrifying this seemingly calm Soul General's combat power was!
Unmoving like a mountain, it emitted an annihilation aura that, once fully unleashed, would at least reach the level of Xuanwu Realm! Such a Soul General would be exceptionally outstanding even in the Underworld!
And for Ye Feng, who had not yet reached Martial Saint level, to summon across levels was truly remarkable!
"Once again, I've expended sixty percent of my strength. Even if I want to recover, it will be impossible in a short time. It seems that once this battle here is over, I will need to prepare to leave!" Ye Feng thought to himself.
He originally intended to fulfill the request of the Haotian Shura True Monarch, but such matters must be based on his own conditions. The Divine Soul he had summoned was about to run out, and due to the strain of summoning the Soul General, his strength had significantly decreased at that moment!
Just as he was contemplating this, a new change occurred in the scene! It was actually the Ghostly Grief that took the initiative to attack!
The terrifying shadow trembled and then lunged toward Ye Feng! Ye Feng's heart tightened, and his thoughts surged forth! The Armored Soul General immediately sprang into action!
Holding the Silent Oblivion Blade, it swung down with a single strike! There was no sound of wind accompanying it! The speed and power were so immense that even the air seemed to distort slightly!
"Boom!" However, this strike did not hit the Ghostly Grief; instead, it grazed its shadowy form and struck a Phantom Demon behind it!
With just one blow, a terrifying sound erupted! The power of the Desolation Slash accurately struck that group of bewildered Phantom Demons, instantly annihilating all of them! It seemed that they were immune to physical attacks and could not absorb the force of this Soul General's assault!
Ye Feng observed this with a calm expression, as it was only natural! It was a pity that he couldn't land a hit on the Ghostly Grief!
However, there would still be opportunities!
"Go! Slay everything you can see! This is the mission I bestow upon you for your existence! Nether Soul General!"
His thoughts echoed in the mind of the Soul General as he shouted from within! The Soul General immediately flashed again and swung its blade toward the Ghostly Grief that had evaded its previous attack!
The terrifying shadow reappeared but could not dodge with composure! The Soul General's attack was not only sharp but also incredibly fast! The shadowy form was struck slightly, causing it to tremble violently!
"Ugh!" This time, even it let out a sound akin to a wail! However, it quickly recklessly lunged toward Ye Feng again! It seemed that this creature was determined to take revenge for the destruction of the Nine Nether Divine Tree!
Ye Feng sneered, "I’m just afraid you won’t come! Soul General! Annihilate it!"
The armed Soul General unleashed its power, striking with the Phantom Blade three times in quick succession! Each strike unleashed terrifying waves of energy! The waves stirred up the dim atmosphere around them, creating an oppressive environment for anyone caught within it!
The terrifying shadow was slowed down by the momentum of the three strikes! Seizing this opportunity, Soul General successfully struck it right in the middle of its body!
It looked as if the attack had split it in half from the head, appearing so frightening that this time, Ghostly Grief couldn't even let out a scream before dissipating into the air!
Was the battle over?
Ye Feng was slightly surprised, squinting his eyes in confusion. The outcome seemed to come too quickly for him to accept. However, he still removed the Ice Barrier of Divine Soul, and after the defense faded, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Idiot! It hasn't died yet! It's just burrowed back into the void! Be careful; it could pop up at any moment!" Xuan Lao hurriedly scolded.
Ye Feng was startled and immediately prepared his defenses again, smiling wryly, "Xuan Lao, you're not trying to scare me, are you?"
"Hmph! If it weren't for your lucky escape from death, I wouldn't bother reminding you!" Xuan Lao replied irritably.
Ye Feng shook his head, feeling weak all over. He glanced at the unmoving Soul General and decided not to collect it for now. This Soul General was summoned by both the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique and the Soul Guiding Banner, possessing exceptional combat abilities.
More importantly, it had its own life; even though it couldn't speak and acted like a puppet, it had to be defeated to disappear. Therefore, as long as it wasn't in use, it could be recalled back into the Soul Guiding Banner!
Due to the need to guard against a sneak attack from Ghostly Grief, Ye Feng wielded the Golden Dragon Sword, ready to strike at any moment. However, Xuan Lao continued, "If I were you, taking advantage of that shadow's hesitation to disappear would be wise. You should quickly continue with your previous task!"
Ye Feng paused slightly and said, "It's already noticed me. Am I not afraid of it coming back out while I'm brazenly harvesting from that divine tree?"
Xuan Lao coldly replied, "Idiot! If it comes out, we can just kill it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt embarrassed; he hadn't reacted quickly enough!
However, he didn't dare waste any more time and returned to the Nine Nether Divine Tree. After carefully examining it, he noticed that the entire tree had shrunk a circle. He felt a surge of joy in his heart but remained vigilant nonetheless!
While allowing the Nameless Soul to guard him, he also began to wield the Golden Dragon Sword, striking repeatedly. It was almost a repetition of what he had done before, but this time, he moved faster while remaining vigilant against the shadows emerging from the void.
This process was both oppressive and dull, with no way to predict when Ghostly Grief would appear for a surprise attack. Ye Feng felt increasingly uneasy; even though the Soul General could suppress the opponent well, the problem was that he did not have the ability to resist!
"Don't think too much for now. Just focus on your own tasks. If I were it, even if I secretly hated you, I wouldn't come out to seek death. What I said earlier was just to be cautious; you need to be careful!" Xuan Lao said earnestly.
Ye Feng nodded in understanding, his hands never stopping their movements. However, he felt a great fondness for the Soul Guiding Banner; its power had been fully revealed through the performance of the Soul General.
Next, he was eager to know what treasures might be hidden at the locations of the other two artifacts.
"If I miss this opportunity, it might not be so lucky next time. Why not take everything here in one go?" Initially planning to harvest the Nine Nether Divine Tree and then leave the Underground Palace, Ye Feng began to contemplate his next move.
However, it seemed he didn't want to leave so soon. Xuan Lao knew he was still being greedy, but this time, he surprisingly shared the same thought!
"Yes, with this Soul General protecting you, as long as you are cautious from now on, there shouldn't be any major issues. I'm just worried that the hidden Ghostly Grief might follow you secretly. If it finds an opportunity, even with the Soul General's protection, you won't be able to guard against it perfectly!"
Ye Feng paused slightly, understanding the gravity of the situation; this decision might require more consideration!
