…A little over half an hour later.

Jiang Lan looked at his Lifespan on the light screen, a surge of indescribable excitement washing over him.

From Soul Transformation First Layer to Seventh Layer, each wave of twenty Remnant Souls had actually brought him so much Lifespan.

A full 3.5 million.

This number, in the past, Jiang Lan wouldn't even dare to imagine.

“Hoo…”

Jiang Lan took several deep breaths, finally calming down a bit.

Don’t get excited, don’t get excited, there are at least two more waves to come.

According to this rate of increase, after killing the next two waves, his Lifespan could still increase by over a million years.

However, while he could gain more Lifespan, the difficulty of facing enemies also increased linearly.

The twenty Soul Transformation Seventh Layer Remnant Souls just now, although Jiang Lan didn't struggle much, it was definitely not as easy and relaxed as when he first started.

He feared that Soul Transformation Eighth Layer would already be able to put some pressure on him.

Just as Jiang Lan was thinking, at the end of the plain, twenty figures appeared.

However, these twenty figures were all clad in golden armor, reflecting dazzling light even without sunlight.

At Soul Transformation Fourth Layer, which was the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, the armor on the Remnant Souls had changed from the initial black to silver.

And by Soul Transformation Seventh Layer, the silver armor had evolved into gold.

As the distance between them closed, Jiang Lan once again unleashed a palm strike.

The True Qi-condensed palm instantly grew larger.

However, this palm strike did not succeed; the twenty golden-armored Remnant Souls reacted extremely quickly, almost instantly transforming into afterimages and dodging Jiang Lan’s attack.

Jiang Lan's eyes glinted.

Twenty of them, he definitely couldn't engage in close-quarters combat.

At Soul Transformation Eighth Layer, if they were close, he was confident in dealing with three to five of them.

But if the number exceeded ten, he wouldn't have much confidence.

Even if he could win, it certainly wouldn't be easy.

After all, these Remnant Souls were only one minor Realm lower than him.

If it were a major Realm difference, there would naturally be no need to worry so much.

The gap between minor Realms was not as exaggerated as that between major Realms.

A sufficient number could still compensate for it.

Seeing that the twenty golden-armored Remnant Souls were about to close in, Jiang Lan quickly retreated.

He reached for his waist.

“Clang!”

The long blade was unsheathed.

This was what he was best at.

As for the palm prints earlier, Jiang Lan only used them for convenience.

“Whoosh!”

Jiang Lan slashed out with his blade, and the blade light transformed into a streak across the sky.

The blade light was incredibly fast, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, cutting sharply towards the golden-armored Remnant Souls.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

After all, using a blade was immeasurably faster than a palm formed by True Qi; although two golden-armored Remnant Souls reacted, before their bodies could even move, the incoming blade light had already cleaved their bodies apart.

Cut in two.

Killed a Soul Transformation Eighth Layer Bodhi Remnant Soul, gained forty-five thousand years of Lifespan.

Remaining Lifespan: 3.554 million years.

Killed a Soul Transformation Eighth Layer Bodhi Remnant Soul, gained forty-five thousand years of Lifespan.

Remaining Lifespan: 3.599 million years.

One was forty-five thousand years, ten was a full four hundred and fifty thousand years.

And here, there were twenty of them.

This meant that these golden-armored Remnant Souls could bring Jiang Lan a full nine hundred thousand years of Lifespan.

As the two golden-armored Remnant Souls disintegrated, the remaining eighteen all turned their gaze towards Jiang Lan.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan once again pulled back and retreated.

Eighteen was still a bit too many; he couldn't get caught in their encirclement.

Otherwise, he might be in mortal danger.

Jiang Lan's speed was already a notch faster than these golden-armored Remnant Souls.

Moreover, these golden-armored Remnant Souls, apart from their remaining exquisite combat awareness, had no intelligence.

Simply put, they were inflexible in thought, a bit dull.

If they were humans, Jiang Lan probably wouldn't have been able to kill two so easily.

As the distance widened, he once again slashed out with his blade.

The silver-white blade light transformed into a streak, crescent-shaped, and once again cut towards the golden-armored Remnant Souls.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

With three consecutive sounds, three more golden-armored Remnant Souls were killed.

Seeing the three consecutive prompts flash across the light screen, Jiang Lan's spirits lifted considerably once more.

Awesome!

Jiang Lan did not linger in his excitement, but continued to move and maneuver.

Every now and then, two or three golden-armored Remnant Souls would have their bodies separated.

In just a few dozen breaths, the original twenty golden-armored Remnant Souls were reduced to only five.

Watching the remaining five golden-armored Remnant Souls charge towards him, Jiang Lan no longer played cat and mouse, but met them head-on.

Twenty, he still had to weigh his options.

But five… they were just Lifespan delivered to his doorstep.

For a moment, Jiang Lan was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

He bent down and dodged a spear thrust from one of the golden-armored Remnant Souls, then, with his right hand, he reversed his grip on the blade and sliced through the gap between the Remnant Soul's helmet and armor.

“Whoosh!”

The Remnant Soul's brilliant golden helmet rolled to the ground, tumbling several times before slowly coming to a stop.

Four!

Jiang Lan didn't pause at all, as if he had eyes on his back, directly crouching down and using his left hand to grasp a spear that was thrusting from the side.

The weapons of these Remnant Souls varied, but most were spears or long blades.

Jiang Lan suddenly exerted force with his arm, pulling the spear towards himself.

The golden-armored Remnant Soul holding the spear was also pulled behind Jiang Lan by this immense force.

Jiang Lan arched his back and slammed into the golden armor.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing entered his ears, armor scattered across the ground, and the Remnant Soul dissipated along with it.

Three!

Jiang Lan turned his head and saw the last three remaining Remnant Souls, standing in a straight line, preparing to charge at him.

He naturally welcomed them, raised his long blade, and directly chopped into the armor gap of one of the Remnant Souls.

The armor fell apart.

Two!

“Die!”

The two remaining Remnant Souls swung their long blades at Jiang Lan, one from the left and one from the right.

The long blades moved like phantoms, descending through the air, rubbing against it, emitting piercing blade cries.

Still too slow.

Jiang Lan could handle five surrounding him with ease, let alone now that only two remained?

Jiang Lan used his right hand to block with his blade, and his left hand grabbed the hilt of the long blade coming from the other side.

Immediately after, the blade in his hand moved like a nimble snake, directly circling behind the long blade on his right.

He suddenly pulled his two arms inward.

“Bang!”

The last two golden-armored Remnant Souls disintegrated, and the System message lit up at the opportune moment.

The final round!
