Chapter 375: Shadow Spirit Realm Beast

Seeing others here, Jiang Yun was not surprised. However, the way they were dressed made Jiang Yun sure that they were not among the thousand cultivators from the Mountain-Sea World.

As the middle-aged man approached closer, Jiang Yun furrowed his brows and looked puzzled.

Although the man was walking slowly and with caution on his face, indicating his consciousness, Jiang Yun felt no signs of life from him.

Jiang Yun sensed no trace of life from him!

In short, he looked like a dead person, but he was moving like a living one!

Jiang Yun had encountered many strange life forms before, like the Medicine Puppet and the soul body.

However, the middle-aged man at this moment was unlike anything he had seen before. He couldn’t tell if the man was alive or a corpse!

"He is a shadow spirit!"

Just then, Jiang Yun heard Bai Ze’s voice in his mind.

"What is a shadow spirit?"

Bai Ze explained, "It is like a human-shaped life fire, but more advanced than a human-shaped life fire!"

"If the life fire does not disperse, it will condense into a Soul Stone, and the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast has the ability to rejuvenate the Soul Stone."

"The life born after rejuvenation is a shadow spirit, which has everything from its past life except memories, including cultivation!"

"Shadow Spirit Realm Beast?"

This was another term that Jiang Yun had never heard of before.

However, he instinctively recalled the two sounds of crying like a baby that made him lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

"You kill him first, then talk!" Bai Ze said coldly, "If he kills you, you will become a ghost forever trapped here!"

Pausing for a moment, Bai Ze added, "Don’t worry, his life has long dissipated, leaving only a Soul Stone. He is now being controlled by a Shadow Spirit Realm Beast, so you won’t feel guilty!"

Clearly, Bai Ze knew Jiang Yun did not want to harm innocent people, so he purposely added this sentence.

Jiang Yun understood and stood up with a bitter smile, punching the middle-aged man directly.

"Boom!"

With that punch, the middle-aged man’s body suddenly exploded.

There was no blood splatter, everything turned into a gray mist, and a walnut-sized stone fell out from inside him.

Bai Ze explained, "This is the Soul Stone. Crushing it will release the life fire."

"Once again, you are really lucky. First, you obtained the Flameless Puppet Lantern, now you’ve encountered the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast. Here, I estimate the life fire you collect can fill the Flameless Puppet Lantern!"

Jiang Yun picked up the Soul Stone and gently crushed it.

As the stone burst open, a strand of flickering flames as thin as hair emerged, it was the life fire.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Yun summoned the Flameless Puppet Lantern in his hand, and absorbed the strand of life fire directly into it.

Even though Jiang Yun had many questions to ask Bai Ze, his cautious habit made him continue to release his divine sense, vigilantly examining the environment he was now in.

Obviously, this was no longer the black sea, but seemed like a different world altogether.

There were mountains, trees, rivers, and stones.

However, everything here was covered in a faint gray mist, even the sky was gloomy gray.

The mist had no trace of moisture within it. According to Jiang Yun’s guess, it should have condensed from the mist formed by the evil spirits he had just killed.

Where Jiang Yun was located now was near a dense forest, with everything within a radius of at least a thousand feet being lifeless, neither evil spirits nor cultivators were present.

After making sure it was safe all around, Jiang Yun asked Bai Ze, "What is a Shadow Spirit Realm Beast?"

"A Shadow Spirit Realm Beast is a type of demon beast. It is also known as Infant Spirit Realm Beast because it cries like a baby, extremely strange."

"Its existence is a threat to all life because it likes to devour… the world!"

"What!"

Bai Ze’s words made Jiang Yun gasp in surprise.

A demon beast that likes to devour the world!

Up to now, Jiang Yun still didn’t know how big the Mountain-Sea World was.

Yet now, there appeared a demon beast that liked to devour the world. How gigantic must its body be!

Jiang Yun’s lacking imagination couldn’t even picture it.

"You don’t know much. In the Tao World, there are countless different creatures, each more strange and unique than the last. It’s not something a small-minded person like you could even imagine."

When Jiang Yun was shocked, Bai Ze made a sarcastic remark as usual. But Jiang Yun ignored it and asked, "So this Shadow Spirit Realm Beast is unbeatable?"

"There’s no such thing as an unbeatable creature!"

Bai Ze snorted and said, "The Shadow Spirit Realm Beast is just big in size, can produce dark spirits, and its howl can affect one’s senses."

"Apart from that, it’s just the lowest kind of monster, with very simple intelligence."

"That’s why it can be killed, it’s just too difficult…"

"Anyway, its habit of devouring worlds has indeed brought fear to many worlds."

"Unless a powerful being is present, no one knows when a Shadow Spirit Realm Beast might appear outside of your world."

"This has led to many worlds being swallowed up by Shadow Spirit Realm Beasts, yet the creatures living inside them remain completely unaware."

"As time passes, when the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast digests living creatures, the life within them gradually dies, turning into shadow spirits trapped inside the Beast forever!"

"Just like the one you killed earlier."

"Wait!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun suddenly interrupted Bai Ze, asking, "So you mean I am currently inside a Shadow Spirit Realm Beast?"

"What do you think?" Bai Ze grinned, "Even the black ocean you were just in is actually inside it, maybe it’s its stomach!"

Jiang Yun was startled by these words!

Although he wanted to deny Bai Ze’s words, thinking about the endless black ocean, the strange suction within the ocean, and the nine hundred animal bones inside…

Plus, his willpower was strong, but the two cries of a baby he heard earlier made him faint.

All these signs could be evidence that what Bai Ze said was true.

"But, this place should belong to Mirage’s world…"

When Jiang Yun reached this point, he stopped talking.

Because he remembered what Senior Brother said, Mirage is like a bridge, connecting the Mountain-Sea World to an unknown world.

Obviously, the world connected by Mirage this time is inside the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast!

Perhaps none of the sect cultivators in the Mountain-Sea World had thought of this!

As Jiang Yun was shocked, Bai Ze remained silent as well.

Because he was considering whether to tell Jiang Yun something–

That this Shadow Spirit Realm Beast might actually be outside the Mountain-Sea World…
