755: Chapter 754 The Strange Behavior of the Vengeful Spirit!

After a slight pause, that voice sounded once more: "Withdraw."

As the voice fell, the golden protective barrier on Jiang Li's body dissipated silently, just as it had appeared.

Seeing this, Jiang Li continued to sit cross-legged and Cultivate.

Her breathing was steady, her expression calm, and golden True Qi circulated around her body, as if nothing had just happened.

Immediately, this space fell into silence once again.

Only the occasional wails of Resentful Spiritss and the rumble of thunder from afar broke this stillness.

...

After bidding farewell to Jiang Li, Qin Yan continued to advance deeper inside.

His steps were firm, his gaze focused, and his white mysterious robe fluttered in the wind.

As Qin Yan walked, he recalled information regarding the Core Zone in his mind.

The Core Zone was the place where the Destruction Venerable of the Guhen Kingdom and the Purple Thunder Venerable of the Canglan Kingdom had fought a great battle years ago.

Both Venerables were at the top tier of Venerables—the Purple Thunder Venerable was at the Peak of the Venerable realm.

The Destruction Venerable was at the Late Stage of the Venerable realm.

The two had engaged in a world-shattering battle in this location, and in the end, both had fallen.

That battle had shattered the Void Realm, torn the earth apart, and altered the landscape of this area.

The power of a Venerable was truly terrifying.

In the air, the Destruction black mist mixed with purple lightning, constantly striking Qin Yan's body.

The Destruction black mist was like a sharp blade, cutting into his skin;

the purple lightning was like a whip, lashing against his body.

Seeing this, Qin Yan mobilized his blood qi and Destruction Spear Intent, forming a blood qi protective barrier on the surface of his body to block these attacks!

Scarlet blood qi and black Spear Intent surged from within his body, condensing into a thin layer of light on his skin.

Because he had comprehended the Destruction Spear Intent himself, Qin Yan found dealing with this Destruction Qi to be quite effortless.

The Destruction Spear Intent and the Destruction Qi shared the same origin, and there was a natural affinity between the two.

The Destruction Qi that landed on Qin Yan not only did not harm him but was instead absorbed by his Destruction Spear Intent, transforming into his own power.

He only needed to expend some effort to block the attacks of the purple lightning.

Just then, a Grandmaster-level Resentful Spirits suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yan!

The Resentful Spirits drifted out from the black dense mist, its form more solid and clearer than the Resentful Spiritss he had encountered before.

It was wearing tattered armor and holding a broken longsword in its hand.

Its two eyes were balls of scarlet light, like burning flames, filled with killing intent and resentment.

Seeing this, Qin Yan immediately stopped in his tracks!

His body instantly tensed, and the moyuan spirit weapon in his hand appeared quietly.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the Resentful Spirits, his eyes filled with solemnity.

A Grandmaster-level Resentful Spirits—this was not one of the Half-step Grandmaster Resentful Spiritss he had encountered before, but a true Grandmaster.

Although it only had the strength of an Early Stage Grandmaster, and although its intelligence was low and its methods were simple, a Grandmaster was still a Grandmaster.

Its attacks were enough to pose a threat to him.

Qin Yan waved his hand, and several spirit talismans appeared in his hand.

Dark Flood Dragon Talisman, Dark Spear Talisman, Dark Protection Talisman—three for attack, three for defense, all prepared.

This was his first time encountering a Grandmaster-level Resentful Spirits, and it was worth him treating it with full seriousness.

And that Resentful Spirits's gaze was also fixed tightly on Qin Yan's direction at this moment.

Just when Qin Yan thought the battle was about to break out, the Resentful Spirits let out a roar, a shrill and piercing sound that echoed in the Void Realm.

Its scarlet eyes lingered on Qin Yan for a moment, flashing with a strange light—then, it turned and left.

The gray-black mist churned, and the figure of the Resentful Spirits gradually disappeared into the black dense mist, leaving only a faint trace of resentful aura slowly dissipating in the air.

Seeing this, Qin Yan was confused.

This Resentful Spirits had clearly discovered him, but in the end, it had not launched an attack on him.

What was this situation?

Qin Yan frowned and thought for a while longer, but he still could not figure out the reason.

Since he could not figure it out, he simply stopped dwelling on it, put the spirit talismans back into his storage space, and continued to step forward into the deeper parts of the Core Zone.

Afterward, Qin Yan encountered several more Resentful Spiritss in succession—some were Early Stage Grandmasters, some were Middle Stage Grandmasters, and there was even one Late Stage Grandmaster Resentful Spirits.

Their forms were more solid, their auras more powerful, and the light in their eyes was even more strange.

However, after these Resentful Spiritss discovered him, none of them actually launched an attack on him.

They just looked at him once and then turned and left.

Once might have been an exception, but with several Resentful Spiritss not attacking him, this was definitely not normal.

Qin Yan stopped his steps, lowered his head, and looked at the Destruction Qi entwined around his body—the gray-black Destruction Qi churned around him like a living thing, shrouding his body in a hazy gray-black mist.

Could it be because of this?

Qin Yan guessed.

If there was anything on him that could make the Resentful Spiritss not attack him, it could only be this Destruction Qi.

The Destruction Qi and the Resentful Spiritss shared the same origin, both born in this Ruined Battlefield.

It made logical sense that Resentful Spiritss would not attack someone carrying Destruction Qi.

Immediately, Qin Yan intended to test this out. He withdrew the Destruction Qi from his body, pulled his Destruction Spear Intent back into his body, and let the Destruction Qi around him dissipate.

Then, he continued to advance.

After traveling a short distance, he encountered another Grandmaster-level Resentful Spirits.

The Resentful Spirits drifted out from the black dense mist, its form solid and its aura powerful.

As soon as it appeared, it locked onto Qin Yan, its gaze fixed firmly on him.

Qin Yan could not help but sigh; the Core Zone was truly worthy of being the place where two Venerables had fallen. Grandmaster-level Resentful Spiritss, which were rarely seen in the Inner Zone, could be seen everywhere in this Core Zone.

He could encounter one just by walking a few dozen steps; the density was astonishing.

And this Resentful Spirits, upon seeing Qin Yan, revealed a fierce light in its eyes and immediately charged toward Qin Yan!

Its speed was astonishingly fast, leaving a gray-black trail in the Void Realm.

Its sharp claws were spread open, the sharp tips gleaming with a cold light in the darkness.

Its mouth let out a silent roar, filled with killing intent and desire.

Seeing this, Qin Yan immediately released his Destruction Spear Intent, shrouding himself in the surrounding Destruction Qi.

Gray-black Spear Intent surged from within his body, pulling the surrounding Destruction Qi to gather toward him.

In the blink of an eye, his body was shrouded in a layer of thick black mist.

And as the Destruction Qi gathered, that Resentful Spirits immediately stopped its body.

It looked toward the direction where Qin Yan was, its scarlet eyes scanning back and forth within the gray-black mist.

In its eyes, a trace of confusion and bewilderment flashed.

Then, it turned its head and walked in another direction, its figure gradually disappearing into the black dense mist.

Seeing this, Qin Yan confirmed his hypothesis.

Sure enough, it was because of this Destruction Qi that he had been spared from the attacks of these Grandmaster-level Resentful Spiritss.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan felt a surge of joy.

One of the greatest dangers in this Core Zone was these powerful Resentful Spiritss.
