Chapter 1668: Chapter 1000: Wandering Ghosts?
As Liang Yuan and the others were lost in thought, the ghostly woman suddenly wielded her blood-red sword, stabbing directly at Shi Haizhu’s forehead.
This time was different from the previous strike; the blood-red sword suddenly became phantom-like, just like an illusion.
Shi Haizhu instinctively threw a punch, and a massive stone shield materialized on his fist.
However, the blood-red sword truly seemed like a shadow, suddenly becoming phantom-like, instantly penetrating the thick and sturdy stone shield, heading straight for Shi Haizhu’s forehead.
“Damn!”
Shi Haizhu exclaimed in shock and quickly retreated.
Not far behind him, Liang Yuan witnessed this scene and his brow furrowed, revealing a look of astonishment.
“Mr. Liang, what is this ability? How did that sword penetrate Captain Shi’s stone shield?”
Gu Feng also cried out in surprise, urgently asking.
Liang Yuan said in a serious tone, “Her sword just transformed instantaneously from a material state into a spiritual power state.”
“Huh? How does it transform?”
Gu Feng was shocked, asking incredulously.
Liang Yuan took a step forward and said, “Let’s capture her, then we’ll know!”
Buzz!
Liang Yuan extended his hand, and terrifying spiritual power instantly transformed into countless threads, rapidly shooting toward the woman.
The ancient-attired woman’s sword was already approaching Shi Haizhu’s forehead.
Shi Haizhu hadn’t expected the sword to penetrate his stone shield and couldn’t react in time.
Just as the sword was about to pierce his skull directly, countless puppet threads swiftly appeared from behind him, instantly entangling the blood-red sword.
“Buzz!”
The sword trembled violently, emitting a continuous buzzing sound.
Shi Haizhu suddenly stepped back, sitting on the ground, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.
He quickly glanced upward, seeing the blood-red sword completely pulled and held by numerous spiritual power threads.
He breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly standing up and saying, “Mr. Liang, this woman is strange.”
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, looking at the woman who was desperately tugging at the sword across from them, and asked, “Who are you? Why are you ambushing us?”
The woman looked fierce but only stared intently at Liang Yuan, fervently pulling the blood sword.
However, her power was far too weak compared to Liang Yuan.
Seeing her remain silent, Liang Yuan directly manipulated the puppet threads, swiftly spreading them toward the woman’s body.
Her phantom-like body suddenly twisted, her face showing an expression of fear as she hurriedly retreated, quickly avoiding the puppet threads.
Clearly, she also felt the threat of the puppet threads.
However, as quickly as she retreated, she didn’t notice a large number of puppet threads had already emerged from the ground behind her.
Thud, thud, thud…
The puppet threads instantly pierced into the woman’s phantom body.
In that instant, the woman’s body trembled violently, standing motionless on the spot.
Liang Yuan watched with a mysterious gaze as the puppet threads rapidly moved within the woman’s body.
He discovered that the woman’s physical structure appeared no different from humans.
The only difference was that her body now existed as a spiritual energy body!
In other words, she was currently a soul body!
It was the first time Liang Yuan had seen a soul body so directly.
Not as an invisible spiritual power but visible to the naked eye.
It should be known that spiritual power is essentially a form of energy, much like thermal energy or kinetic energy; it’s hard to observe directly in the material world.
Just like gravity, you can feel it but not see or touch it.
Essentially, spiritual energy is actually a form of magnetic field energy.
Just like superpower users who become powerful to the Star God level, the magnetic field domain they condense signifies their mighty life essence has already birthed a magnetic field.
Thus, they can form a massive magnetic field domain.
At this moment, this woman’s soul body was also a mass of energy, but the difference was her soul body was clearly visible to the naked eye.
This greatly surprised Liang Yuan.
Currently, the puppet threads were inside the woman’s body, immobilizing her.
Liang Yuan immediately asked, “Who are you?”
The woman glared with wide eyes, her face rapidly regressing from the fierce and terrifying appearance to that of a young girl.
“@#￥#!”
The woman opened her mouth, her expression angry, but the words she spoke seemed completely unfamiliar to Liang Yuan and the other two.
It felt like she was speaking in an obscure local dialect.
Liang Yuan slightly frowned and immediately activated his spiritual power to make contact with the soul body.
He directly used telepathic communication, which would essentially solve the language barrier.
Liang Yuan conveyed his consciousness and asked, “Who are you? Why are you ambushing us?”
“Outsiders, you are desecrating divine beings!”
An enraged roar was immediately transmitted from the woman’s consciousness.
Liang Yuan could clearly sense the woman’s anger.
He squinted slightly and asked, “Divine beings? Are you saying the ones inside the coffin are divine beings?”
“Yes! Desecrating divine beings is an unforgivable sin; you all deserve to die!” The woman glared at Liang Yuan with a booming consciousness.
Liang Yuan chuckled, “That line may deceive others, but trying to fool us is a bit too stupid, isn’t it?”
“We’re all superpower users; you only perform superpowers as well. Where are these so-called divine beings?”
The woman hesitated slightly, then anger surged in her consciousness, “What nonsense? What superpowers? This is immortal magic!”
“Where on earth did you come from? There are no longer any humans outside; if you’re not demons, where did you come from?”
The woman asked in anger.
Liang Yuan was bewildered by her question.
Humans? Demons?
He felt momentarily disoriented, as if he had traveled into a cultivation-type novel world.
“What? There are no living humans in this space? What are demons?”
The woman stared at Liang Yuan, her consciousness conveying information: “Those monsters you saw when you first entered, those are the Merfolk from the demon clan.”
“In the blood sea, only Merfolk, Fishmen, and similar creatures can survive; otherwise, only soul ghosts can remain alive here.”
“Your bodies exude abundant blood energy; you’re clearly living humans. Where did you come from?”
Liang Yuan understood; this woman referred to superpower users who evolved and mutated into Merfolk and Fishmen as demons.
Ordinary human-like people, she called the human race.
But what were soul ghosts she mentioned?
Liang Yuan asked, puzzled, “We are indeed human, but not from this world. Are you saying only demons and soul ghosts can survive here? What are you?”
The woman’s consciousness responded, “I am a soul ghost!”
“Can’t you see?”
As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed, reverting back to a menacing appearance, which was quite terrifying.
Liang Yuan laughed.
The woman’s abrupt transformation perfectly fit tales of soul ghosts.
But Liang Yuan could see her essence.
She was merely a highly condensed soul body made of spiritual power.
And since spiritual power is intangible and formless, it can change freely; the woman’s face became ferocious because his puppet threads intentionally didn’t control her head.
Otherwise, she couldn’t make any facial changes.
“I understand; you refer to your state as a soul ghost, right?”
Liang Yuan suddenly thought that in ancient times on Blue Star, superpower users who could turn themselves into energy, becoming spirit bodies, soul bodies, and even elemental bodies.
They could indeed be easily regarded as ghostly entities.
Ordinary people in ancient times would have been shocked and frightened upon seeing such forms.
Perhaps old tales of ghosts and monsters were passed down like this.
