1101 Second Essence Soul Sword, Demon Luo Clan
The Fragment Gold Mine was really not far from Yunlan Town. It was only 800 miles to the west.

This was the news that Zhao Chen had exchanged 300,000 spiritual rocks for.

He frequented Yunlan Town and was particularly enthusiastic about treasure hunting and exploring secrets.

The mineral deposits in Yunteng Wasteland were abundant.

News of various high-level cultivators’ deaths, incidents of being besieged, and the discovery of hidden treasures could be heard everywhere.

The last time Zhao Chen bought a small mineral deposit, he made a profit of over three million spiritual rocks with just a single transaction.

This gave him a taste of success.

However, he and Elder Chu almost didn’t make it out of the Fragment Gold Mine.

When Zhao Chen, wearing a pale blue veil hat and a swollen face, and Elder Chu, pale-faced, arrived in front of Han Muye, Han Muye almost burst out laughing.

It was truly a pitiful sight.

“Young Master Han, that’s a nest of fragment gold ants.” Elder Chu was still a little afraid as he recounted his encounter in the mine in a low voice.

It was only recently that Zhao Chen and the others had spent a fortune buying information about the mineral deposits in this wasteland.

In fact, Han Muye already had enough knowledge of the discovered mineral deposits in his hands.

“Fragment Gold Ants?” Han Muye narrowed his eyes and said softly, “Wasteland Green Wolves, Fragment Gold Ants, Cloud Sky Cranes, and Falling Water Fish, the four formidable beasts of Yunteng Wasteland.”

The Green Wolf Clan in the Wasteland had a massive population and roamed around. Ordinary cultivators indeed couldn’t provoke them.

The Fragment Gold Ants dwelled deep in the mineral veins, their reproductive power was extremely strong, and they moved in and out of the underground mineral veins like ghosts. Many cultivators could only watch as these creatures swallowed an entire mineral vein.

The Cloud Sky Cranes had an extremely fast flying speed, and when their group migrated, they would blot out the sky.

There were also several peak-level Heavenly Immortals among them. Who would dare to provoke them?

As for the Falling Water Fish, few people had ever seen them.

In the middle of Yunteng Wasteland, there was a sunken lake called the Falling Water Lake. Its depth was unknown, spanning at least 30 million miles in circumference.

The name Yunteng Wasteland came from the surging waves and billows in this sunken lake.

There were schools of fish in the lake called Falling Water Fish. Anyone, be it human or beast, who entered the water would be devoured.

No one had ever caught a Falling Water Fish.

Some said the Falling Water Fish were countless small fish the size of a palm.

Others said the Falling Water Fish was a 100,000-foot-long giant fish that could devour a whole mountain in one gulp.

The specifics of the Falling Water Fish were extremely mysterious, and no one could fathom them.

“Brother Han, this time I admit defeat. Let’s consider the 300,000 spiritual rocks as a waste,” Zhao Chen muttered in frustration, his swollen face muffling his voice.

“At present, Yunlan Town has already gathered various merchant caravans. Just by buying and reselling various spiritual materials and herbs, we have made quite a profit. Whether we have this mine or not, it’s not a big deal,” Zuo Baichou said with a smile.

“Those creatures are indeed formidable,” Yu Yang, dressed in a white robe and exuding a restrained demonic aura, spoke.

He had a good relationship with Zhao Chen, but he could not help him this time.

If the Green Wolf Clan entered the mineral vein, they would also be tortured.

“Let’s go take a look,” Han Muye said calmly with a wave of his hand.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about a mineral vein.

Instead, he was interested in the Fragment Gold Ants that no one dared to provoke in the wilderness.

Without inviting others to join, only Elder Chu accompanied him as they flew swiftly and arrived at the mineral vein in a moment.

This was a hill that was less than a hundred feet tall and had a radius of 10 miles. There were numerous cracks along the shattered and disorderly cliffs.

“We entered from here and were attacked by the Fragment Gold Ants about 1,000 feet in. We almost didn’t make it out,” Elder Chu said in a low voice, still shaken.

Elder Chu whispered with lingering fears.

Han Muye nodded and flew into the crack.

Elder Chu hesitated for a moment before following.

Upon entering the cracks, Han Muye could feel the aura of gold and iron emanating from within.

This power was quite surging.
Navigating through the rubble, Han Muye had only descended 1,000 feet when a dark golden figure directly collided with him.

“Ding—”

Raising his sword, a dark golden ant half a foot long was nailed to the edge of the sword.

It had a slender demon body and long, pointed legs.

Its whole body emitted a dark golden halo, and the piercing power transmitted from the long sword was at least equivalent to Foundation Establishment.

Just this one ant, if placed in the mortal cultivation world, could devour an entire village of mortals.

Indeed, the immortal realm was much more dangerous and terrifying than the mortal world.

“Slash—”

With just one ant impaled, Han Muye swept his sword horizontally, shattering three incoming Fragment Gold Ants.

This time, Han Muye felt something different.

The three Fragment Gold Ants were about half a foot apart but somehow connected in strength.

When his sword struck, he clearly felt a much stronger resistance compared to when he pinned down a single ant earlier.

Was this the troublesome aspect of the Fragment Gold Ants?

Stepping forward, Han Muye swung his sword.

A mesh of dark gold colors intertwined.

As expected!

When dozens of fragment gold ants gathered together, their power was no less than that of an Earth Realm Soul Awakening cultivator.

Narrowing his eyes, Han Muye’s gaze fell on a golden stone wall ahead.

There, densely packed, were all Fragment Gold Ants.

“Young Master Han, when there are over a thousand Fragment Gold Ants gathered, they possess Heaven Realm combat strength.”

“Over there, at least 100,000.”

If more than a thousand of them gathered, they would have the strength of a Heaven Realm expert. It was no wonder Elder Chu got injured.

Han Muye nodded, observing the slowly surging mass of fragment gold ants coming in their direction.

“Let me try again.” Han Muye’s figure moved, rushing a thousand feet ahead, and thrust his sword forward.

“Clang—”

It was as if a long sword had clashed.

With that strike, he managed to kill three Fragment Gold Ants.

Indeed, the consolidated strength was already formidable.

Han Muye gripped his longsword, watching the Fragment Gold Ants that seemed to be provoked by him and rushing towards him. He pondered for a moment.

Although the Fragment Gold Ants were fierce, they couldn’t harm him.

But in his view, directly slaughtering them might not be the best choice.

Gripping his longsword, a phantom of a Kui appeared behind him.

As soon as the Kui appeared, all those Fragment Gold Ants trembled, their bodies slightly recoiling.

A smile appeared on Han Muye’s face as he swung his sword once again.

“Slash—”

Lightning intertwined in the sky and crashed forward.

Interweaving flashes of lightning dashed towards the front.

An interesting scene happened.

One fragment gold ant fell to the ground, and then tens of thousands of fragment gold ants were all struck by the lightning, lying limp on the ground, their long legs twitching.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Elder Chu’s mouth twitched.

So, these Fragment Gold Ants were afraid of the power of thunder and lightning.

Han Muye laughed heartily, flying towards the stone wall ahead. The light of his sword flickered, and the power of the Kui on his back manifested, transforming into a multitude of lightning.

Countless fragment gold ants were knocked down to the ground, convulsing and struggling.

“Squeak—”

A shrill cry rang out, and Elder Chu, standing in place, trembled all over, exclaiming, “Be careful, Young Master. This is the soul attack from a powerful Fragment Gold Ant.”

Han Muye nodded, his expression calm.

This soul attack did not affect him at all.

But for other cultivators at the Sage Realm, it would have shaken their spiritual consciousness.

Combining soul attacks with physical strength, it’s no wonder Fragment Gold Ants were known as formidable beings in the wasteland.

Han Muye raised his sword, pointing forward. The Fragment Gold Ants on the stone wall fell, revealing the figures hiding among them.

In the eyes of a three-foot-long giant golden fragment gold ant, a ferocious light gleamed.

However, at this moment, this Fragment Gold Ant, with at least Heaven Realm cultivation, slightly recoiled, seemingly extremely wary of Han Muye.

“Buzz!”

A visible faint translucent halo spread out in all directions.

On the bodies of those fragment gold ants, faint golden powers were being guided, merging with this halo, condensing into a dark golden spear that was 100 feet long.

Layers of golden immortal patterns could be seen on the spear.

As soon as the spear appeared, Elder Chu whispered, “This is a divine soul spear. It can even shatter the divine soul of a Heaven Immortal.”

On the way here, Elder Chu had already explained that he was injured by a dark golden spear.

It seemed that this was the spear.

Han Muye’s gaze landed on the spear, and his eyes flickered.

Soul power.

This was the power of his soul that he urgently lacked.

“Buzz!”

The spear trembled and thrust directly towards Han Muye’s head.

Han Muye neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the spear to penetrate his body directly.

Behind him, Elder Chu was stunned. Before he could speak, he was forcefully pushed out of the mineral vein by a tremendous force.

“A breakthrough?”

“A breakthrough using soul power?”

Staring at the crack sealed by a golden halo, Elder Chu was slightly dazed.

Could one really make a breakthrough like this?

Was there truly such a person in the world, carrying opportunities with them?

Han Muye paid no attention to what Elder Chu was thinking.

At this moment, the soul spear crashed into the divine treasure. Han Muye’s strength burst out, and his cultivation, which had already gathered to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, quickly increased.

The divine soul spear spun in his divine treasures and was shattered by a sword that appeared out of nowhere.

The three-foot-long Fragment Gold Ant on the stone wall trembled and rolled down the stone wall.

Han Muye’s gaze landed on the golden ants, and a smile appeared on his face.

“So, you can condense soul power as well.

“Then, help me share some of it.”

With a bang, the power of the soul surged out of Han Muye’s divine treasure like a tide!

His soul power had already reached an extremely powerful level.

If it weren’t for the concern of consuming too much energy in condensing the second Primordial Spirit Sword, he would have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now, he finally found an opportunity in these fragment gold ants.

The fragmented souls dissipated, directly enveloping the mineral vein.

To his delight, the deeper into the vein, the more fragment gold ants there were.

At least three million!

The intertwined power of soul and the thunderous strength of the Kui formed a giant hand.

Fragment Gold Ants fell to the ground, trembling and shivering.

Whether they were half a chi long ordinary fragment gold ants or the ant king nearly 100 feet in length, they were all suppressed by the combination of lightning and soul power, unable to move.

Han Muye’s soul power moved through the lightning.

Just like tempering sword qi in the Sword Pavilion in the past, when he retrieved his soul power, it had expanded slightly.

These Fragment Gold Ants could actually help nourish his soul.

The soul power each individual fragment gold ant could provide was meager.

But with three million gathered together, his soul power increased rapidly, even faster than condensing the power of incense.

The crucial point was that this way, he could break through in advance and condense the second Primordial Spirit Sword!

Han Muye’s eyes emitted a deep glow as he looked at the golden ground in front of him. Immortal qi and soul power intertwined all over his body, slowly condensing into a three-foot-long blade.

As soon as this sword appeared, the Fragment Gold Ants all prostrated on the ground.

Submit.

Trembling all over, the Ant King underground didn’t dare to look up either.

“From now on, this sword will be the Trap Sword.”

The power of the Gold-Smashing Ants could be stacked continuously.

This Essence Soul sword condensed from immortal energy and soul could also have such power superimposed, allowing the opponent to fall into a quagmire and eventually die.

Of course, the Primordial Spirit had just formed. It would take a long time for him to truly possess this power.

Han Muye’s figure moved, and his Essence Soul spread out, landing on the Fragment Gold Ants.

Using 3,000,000 Fragment Gold Ants to nurture his primordial spirit!

“From now on, you stay here.”

Han Muye spoke calmly.

These metal-smashing ants seemed to understand, and all of them quietly crawled and did not move.

This place was less than 800 miles away from Yunlan Town. Han Muye could retrieve this Essence Soul sword at any time.

This was also the strongest power he could use at the moment.

When he returned to Yunlan Town with Elder Chu, Zhao Chen could only feel regret that Han Muye did not eliminate the Fragment Gold Ants.

“Junior Brother Han, a caravan from Luming City 100,000 miles away came to trade, but they have to visit you first,” Zhang Zhenbiao whispered to Han Muye, then held a golden spiritual talisman in his hand.

After receiving the spiritual talisman, Han Muye’s eyes lit up.

This spiritual talisman was just an ordinary spiritual talisman.

But in his hands, it was different.

“It’s been a long time, Demon Luo Clan.

“Let them see me,” Han Muye said calmly as he crushed the golden talisman.
