People united. Traps were set. So drowned others with sheer force. Various strategies were unleashed until the Fallen Sword Abyss fell into chaos.
Eyes were bloodshot as they struggled back and forth in the battle for Earth Energy. No one wanted to be the last person to gather the energy they needed; everyone wanted to be the first!
Yan Xiaobao sensed the brutal atmosphere around him. However, he didn't venture far. Most of his ti was spent researching or brewing potions. Even so, he encountered seventeen disciples of the Spiritual Flow Sect.
Whenever this happened, he carefully stored the corpses in his possession, bringing them back to the chapel.
When he went out to find banebeasts, he quickly got to work. He struck like lightning, seized a banebeast, and brought it back to study. Afterward, he returned to brewing.
Before he realized it, the gray liquid in his Dao bottle was about a third full. However, he paid little mind to it. His main focus was on brewing.
So far, he had failed dozens of tis. A few tis, he failed five or six tis in a single day. Still, he did not give up. As he grew more familiar with the anatomy of banebeasts, he slowly descended into frenzy. At one point, he even personally observed how a banebeast would kill a cultivator.
It was then he realized the attack wasn't physical but an absorption of life force. Suddenly, all his experience and research reached satori. He quickly chose a remote cave, prepared to brew, his eyes completely bloodshot.
The endeavor lasted five days, during which he did not step outside even once. He failed dozens of tis. Yet, on the evening of the fifth day, as the skies darkened and battle filled the surrounding land, strong rumbling began to emanate from his pill furnace, spreading across half of the Fallen Sword World.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
It was like heaven; the shattered thunder spread far and wide. Shockingly, black clouds appeared above the cave, filled with pulsating white energy!
In that part of the Fallen Sword World, disciples from all four sects rushed towards the direction where Yan Xiaobao was brewing dicine. Everyone was utterly shocked.
When Ghostfang suddenly heard the rumbling, he was busy with a task, his eyes gleaming.
Elsewhere, Song Que was in front of so unremarkable stone wall, studying it closely. When he heard the sound, his eyes widened. "What is that sound?"
Xu Xiaoshan from the Blood Flow Sect felt his heart skip a beat. "Is that a valuable fortune appearing in the world?!?!"
Eyes wide, he picked up speed, advancing toward the sound.
Lei Shan from the Deep Flow Sect was relatively close to the source, just as interested as Xu Xiaoshan. Eyes filled with excitent and curiosity, he raced toward the direction of the sound.
The strange thunderous rumbling not only attracted the cultivators' attention, it attracted... banebeasts!
Moreover... at so mysterious locations in the Fallen Sword World, it caught the attention of... banesouls! Within the affected half of the Fallen Sword World, countless regions began to twist and turn. It seed as if nurous banebeasts that slept in the air were suddenly awakened by the thunder's boom. Sohow, they could feel Yan Xiaobao's spiritual dicine and trembled, slowly opening their eyes.
Although there were disciples from four sects in so of those awakening regions, most regions had no cultivators. Once banebeasts opened their malicious eyes, they looked in Yan Xiaobao's direction, radiating greed and madness. Monts later, countless howls ravaged the air.
Ripples spread through the Fallen Sword World like waves on water, stirring a frenzy that started to surge into the sky with the fastest speed.
However, more shocking than the banebeasts were the events happening in areas where even the timid dared not enter. There, many ethereal figures began to appear out of thin air.
There were n and won, young and old alike. The youngest was a little girl in a white dress, clutching a blood-red teddy bear. They floated there with their eyes, accompanied by various strange beasts, creatures not of Heavenspan's lands.
They were banesouls!
All beings slain by the Giant Sword existing outside of the sky were affected by the seismic event, transforming into these lifeless spirits!
They were extrely bizarre and mysterious, clearly not folk of Heavenspan land. They hailed from legendary regions beyond the heavens, places that are eternal!
Now, they scattered across the various remote areas of the Fallen Sword World, where even the timid dared not approach.
So far, many such figures silently appeared out in the open. So donned ancient robes, others wore battle armor, so had skin made of scales rather than flesh. They appeared strange, most severely disfigured as if from battle wounds. So had lost their weapons, so were partially beheaded, so had open wounds on their torsos. As they appeared, black mist surged from all directions.
All the banesouls bore blank expressions. They had no consciousness or any mories. Wherever they passed, the frenzy would tremble, with their past only shrinking. Any unlucky banebeast actually touched by one of the banesouls would imdiately be destroyed and vanish into nothingness.
