Chapter 3954: Chapter 3954: Soul-devouring Technique (First Update)

In the jungle.

A beast resembling a wild boar, but with a single horn on its head, strolled through the purple mist, its head lowered and nose constantly twitching, seemingly in search of something. Suddenly, the horned wild boar raised its head, a hint of confusion appearing in its small eyes, and it looked around with some caution...

In an instant, a nearly transparent shadow suddenly appeared behind the wild boar, which panicked and turned around, only to see a man enveloped in a destructive aura lunging towards it!

"Pff!!!" The wild boar let out a low growl, and a gray-black light shot out from its horn, aimed at the man!

The light surprisingly contained an incredibly dense Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm!

What the wild boar had unleashed was clearly a powerful soul technique!

The gray-black light instantly sunk into the attacker’s forehead. Seeing this, the horned wild boar seemed to relax, gazing at the never-before-seen creature in front of it. Greed and desire gradually appeared in its small eyes!

But suddenly, the young man in front of the wild boar smirked mysteriously, and the next moment, he lunged, clutching the wild boar’s neck fiercely. The wild boar stared incredulously at this stranger hunter, unable to comprehend why its attack hadn’t caused any harm!

Ye Chen’s tremendous force erupted from within him and, in no time, claimed the life of the horned wild boar.

Xuan Han Yu said, "Kid, unexpectedly entering this Soul-devouring Island has brought you quite an opportunity, allowing you to find soul beasts here."

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "As soon as I entered this island, I discovered living creatures existed here. Others can’t use spiritual sense on Soul-devouring Island, but those martial artists who have mastered the Soul-devouring Technique, along with those soul beasts, are different. Even if Shi Fei is a late-stage Qiankun Realm presence, after being heavily injured, he stands no chance of finding me on this Soul-devouring Island!"

Spiritual sense is akin to a martial artist’s eyes. If both parties lost their spiritual sense, Shi Fei might still have a chance to locate Ye Chen. But now that Ye Chen utilizes the Soul-devouring Technique and can perceive using spiritual sense, everything is drastically different.

Can a blind person catch a normal one?

And what surprises Ye Chen even more is the existence of these soul beasts!

Soul beasts are incredibly peculiar life forms in the universe. Normally, the divine soul power of beasts is relatively weak, but these soul beasts are quite the opposite; their soul power is immensely strong, while their physical bodies are extremely ordinary.

Ordinary martial artists find soul beasts quite tricky, but unfortunately, these soul beasts encounter an anomaly like Ye Chen.

Moreover, soul beasts can only be born in places filled with soul power. This Soul-devouring Island is brimming with dense Soul-devouring Dao Rhythms, able to transform spiritual energy into soul power, making it an evil island in the eyes of ordinary martial artists but a paradise for soul beasts!

Furthermore, the soul beasts on Soul-devouring Island have been baptized by the Soul-devouring Dao Rhythms, with their innate soul techniques containing Soul-devouring Dao Rhythms, making them much more dangerous than average soul beasts!

However, Ye Chen, virtually immune to soul attacks, is almost invincible to the life forms on Soul-devouring Island!

Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, moving his fingers swiftly, piercing into the wild boar’s head to extract a crystal stone radiating gray-black light.

Looking at the crystal stone, Ye Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of fervor!

This crystal stone is known as the Beast Soul Crystal, a unique product inside soul beasts. For Soul Dao martial artists, it’s a supreme treasure, as they can directly enhance their divine soul strength by devouring the Beast Soul Crystal!

However, ordinary martial artists are unable to do so.

And the Beast Soul Crystals on Soul-devouring Island contain not only dense soul power but also Soul-devouring Dao Rhythms!

In other words, if Ye Chen devours enough Beast Soul Crystals, he could even directly enhance his Soul-devouring Technique!

That’s why Xuan Han Yu said this Soul-devouring Island is his opportunity!

After extracting the Beast Soul Crystal, Ye Chen didn’t discard the horned wild boar’s carcass but carried it through the jungle, occasionally picking seemingly ordinary wild fruits. A few hours later, Ye Chen returned to the cave where Qin Hongyue was hiding, with several soul beast carcasses.

At this moment, Qin Hongyue was curled under the glow of the Slaughter Sword, seemingly resting, but her brows were furrowed tightly, and her pretty face was full of pain, drenched in fragrant sweat.

Seeing this, Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, noting that Soul-devouring Island’s drain on Qin Hongyue’s soul power exceeded his expectations.

He didn’t rush to wake Qin Hongyue, instead set up a large pot and began processing the soul beast carcasses.

Ye Chen had hunted three soul beasts: the horned wild boar, a golden calf, and a gray-black giant python with three eyes.

He skinned and deboned the three soul beasts, cutting them into slices. With a flick of his finger, a thread of purple-blue flame landed under the pot, blazing fiercely. Ye Chen had found the wood he used to fuel the fire on Soul-devouring Island, and his innate sense with the Soul-devouring Technique allowed him to detect everything on the island to some extent.

This wood had some soul-nurturing effects, and when ignited, not only did it emit a pleasant fragrance, but it also slightly eased Qin Hongyue’s tense expression.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, adding spring water he found on Soul-devouring Island to the pot, then putting island-grown wild fruits and wildflowers in to boil and flavor. Once the broth emitted a rich aroma, he added the sliced meat into the pot.

Soon, the mix of herbal and meat fragrance filled the entire cave!

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "If Shi Fei entered Soul-devouring Island now, even unable to use spiritual sense, he could follow this scent to find us, don’t you think?"

The reason Ye Chen made this pot of meat broth wasn’t out of greed but to help him and Qin Hongyue survive better on Soul-devouring Island!

Having mastered the Soul-devouring Technique, Ye Chen wasn’t greatly affected, but what about Qin Hongyue?

Qin Hongyue’s soul power was continuously eroded by the island’s forces, and ordinary divine soul replenishing elixirs couldn’t improve the situation. But Ye Chen knew that certain soul beast blood and flesh and some unique plants growing on Soul-devouring Island could nourish the divine soul and mitigate the island’s consumption of soul power!

It’s just that ordinary martial artists entering Soul-devouring Island are unable to use spiritual sense; without awareness, they couldn’t choose the right foods even if they realized this...

Only Ye Chen can accomplish such a feat.
