Chapter 1874: The Souls of Mortals

Blood oozed out of the armor’s helmet . The ancestor of the Mo family’s eyes no longer shone . A few cracks were even clearly visible on his eyeballs as they constantly bled .

The ancestor of the Mo family fell out of the sky powerlessly, striking the ground heavily . With a resounding thud, he created a huge crater on the ground, kicking dust into the air .

Jian Chen stowed the Startling Rainbow sword away while his turbulent presence was gradually dismissed as well .

He arrived before the crater created by the ancestor of the Mo family . The dust immediately cleared as soon as he stood there while the ancestor’s body slowly floated out of the pit under an invisible force . Blood constantly flowed from within the armor .

Jian Chen removed the armor from the corpse of the ancestor . Only then did Jian Chen see his head .

His entire head had already been reduced to pieces . Red and white matter mixed together . It was indescribably disgusting .

Apart from his head, even the top half of his body had been reduced to a bloody mess . He did not possess a body as powerful as Jian Chen’s, so even his body had almost been shaken apart .

Fortunately, the Space Ring on the Mo family ancestor’s finger was not destroyed . Only a series of densely-packed, web-like cracks had appeared on it .

Currently, the Space Ring was close to destruction .

“This Space Ring might break at any time, so I have to remove everything from inside as soon as possible . ” Without any hesitation, Jian Chen immediately moved all the items in there into his own Space Ring .

However, to his surprise and joy, he discovered quite a lot of high grade divine crystals in the ancestor’s Space Ring . There were close to ten blocks .

Moreover, there were a few loose mid grade divine crystals . Mid grade divine crystals were not particularly effective for Overgods during cultivation, so there were only a few thousand of them in the ancestor’s Space Ring . Each one was only the size of a finger .

Jian Chen also discovered a few cultivation methods and battle skills within the Space Ring . However, they were all demonic and extremely evil, far more than the Empyrean Demon Arts that Houston practised . Jian Chen directly frowned when he saw them .

In the end, Jian Chen destroyed them all . They were simply too disgusting .

Jian Chen only looked over the materials and heavenly resources roughly as they were not of particularly high quality . After that, he put them all away in his Space Ring .

“Although these items are basically useless to me, I can keep them for the Tian Yuan clan . Whether it’s heavenly resources or materials, the elders in the clan can never have enough,” thought Jian Chen .

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Jian Chen produced an interjection of surprise . He discovered a black box in the Space Ring . It laid in an inconspicuous corner, protected by a layer of formations .

Jian Chen took out the black box . After examining it closely in his hands, he removed the formation .

Suddenly, a cold presence radiated from the black box . At that moment, Jian Chen seemed to hear the wails and screams of countless ghosts . It was an extremely chilling sound .

Jian Chen furrowed his eyebrows, and he became rather stern . He slowly opened the box . Immediately, a black mist surged out from there, engulfing Jian Chen .

Jian Chen’s eyes shone brightly . The thick, black mist was unable to obscure his vision . Through the mist, he could clearly see that a palm-sized banner laid within the black box .

When Jian Chen saw the banner, various mixed sounds rang out in his head . He heard the screams of ghosts, the pleadings of a woman, and wails filled with endless pain .

He even began to see things in his head . The images were brutal . They were either pitiful, or they were evil, hair-raising spirits . There were many of them, forming a great black mass that blocked out the sun . It seemed like a living hell .

“Collect the souls of mortals and assist me in creating a demon artifact . I will gift you a fortune in exchange such that you will accomplish great things…”

It was also at this moment that an obscure sound rang out in Jian Chen’s head . It seemed to be filled with a mysterious charm, making it seem bewitching . Even Jian Chen’s eyes became confused as if he had become lost .

In Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, the obscure voice seemed to become the voice of the world . It seemingly represented the will of the universe, making it irresistible . It boomed through Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness and affected his mind .

It seemed like the voice was forcibly planting its own will within Jian Chen so that it could affect his thoughts .

However, Jian Chen’s soul was nothing short of extraordinary . It was formed from a fusion between fighters and Radiant Saint Masters, so it had undergone a transformation, making it mutate . It greatly differed from the souls of other people and could use Martial Soul Force .

According to fairy Hao Yue, even with the entire Saints’ World in perspective, Martial Soul Force was basically mythical . The people who could use it truly could be counted with two hands .

The daze in Jian Chen’s eyes only lasted for a few seconds before it cleared up .

However, the demonic voice that had directly tried to plant itself in Jian Chen sensed nothing . It continued to speak like a robot, and it also informed Jian Chen of the method of collecting souls .

After hearing that, killing intent immediately boiled in Jian Chen’s heart . He said coldly, “What a vicious method . They actually use women born in a moment of yin on a day of yin in a month of yin, and on another day of yin in a month of yin, they’ll impregnate her using a man that’s also born in a moment of yin on a day of yin in a month of yin . Before the child is born, they’ll choose a moment of yin on a day of yin to kill both the mother and the child brutally, and then they’ll use a vicious method to extract their souls . All of this just to forge a demon artifact . ”

Jian Chen looked at the black banner once again . He sensed the souls that had formed the thick, black cloud as he felt sorrow from the bottom of his heart .

The number of souls in there had reached several hundred thousand . Every single soul had been pregnant when they were still alive . They were mortal women who had not cultivated, killed before their children were born .

“What a vicious demon . Just to forge a demon artifact, it wants to kill so many innocent people . Since the ancestor of the Mo family had this banner, quite a few of the souls must have come from him . Ancestor of the Mo family, you deserved to die,” Jian Chen said coldly .

Mortals and cultivators were different . Once cultivators began cultivating, they would have to drench their hands in blood in pursuit of greater strength . Whether it was the Tian Yuan Continent or the Saints’ World, every single expert had basically navigated through mountains of corpses to get to where they were . The truth behind their success was endless murders .

This was why when cultivators died, they did not deserve sympathy .

However, mortals were different . They lived short lives and were supposed to enjoy their short lives .

“The Mo family,” Jian Chen gritted his teeth . Killing intent flashed in his eyes . He shut the box and resealed it with its formations before hurrying to the Blue River province with the corpse of the Mo family ancestor .
