Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 558 - 318: Soul Split_3

A nearly transparent slash flew out, passing through the stone armor crafted by the demon spirit Wei Long, striking solidly on its body.

Crack~ Lu Yu heard a crisp sound on a spiritual level as Wei Long's mental barrier shattered, and the force of the slash didn't diminish a bit, pouring entirely onto the demon spirit possessing Wei Long.

"Ahhh~~~" An extremely sharp mental scream rang out. Lu Yu instinctively covered his ears, only to find it had no effect.

It took struggling to raise a mental barrier to isolate this sharp wailing.

Lu Yu's mental barrier trembled constantly under the sharp wailing, on the verge of breaking at any moment.

The wailing lasted for a moment before disappearing, and the solidified walls in the hall crumbled, collapsing like loose sand.

Wei Long lay on the ground, curled up like a boiled prawn, his hands tightly clutching his head, a patch of his hair torn out, tears and snot uncontrollably flowing out.

The demon spirit that possessed him had its soul severed by the Soul Splitting Slash. The pain of a severed soul is unbearable for any creature, and it naturally collapsed.

The pain was one reason for its collapse, while another reason was that the demon spirits are pure spiritual life forms, energy life forms.

The collapse of their consciousness leads to the collapse of their being.

Unlike humans, who, after soul trauma, can at most suffer a mental breakdown, become idiots, or otherwise while their body might remain intact.

The collapse of demon spirits' mental state also means their physical collapse.

Wei Long's body, after all, wasn't its body, and it couldn't nurture his flesh with spirit nor the flesh reciprocate with spirit.

So even after successfully possessing a body, it still met a spiritual death.

Wei Long's body twitched instinctively, his eyes' pupils dilated, already unconscious.

The demon spirit controlling his body had its spiritual fluctuations nearly dissipated, completely dead.

After receiving the kill notification, Lu Yu confirmed that the demon spirit inside Wei Long had been slain. He was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Soul Splitting Slash to be so powerful, instantly killing the demon spirit possessing Wei Long's body.

On second thought, it made sense; this strike consumed more than half of his power, spiritual power + Spiritual Power + Qi Blood, practically impossible to use continuously.

He turned to another demon spirit. The Wolf Butler had already sensed something wrong when the demon spirit in Wei Long howled.

After hesitating for a moment, it chose to preserve its life and fled.

Lu Yu glanced at the four submerged in the spirit pool. Instead of chasing the Wolf Butler, he gathered a bit of power and unleashed a not-too-strong Soul Splitting Slash, severing the demon spirit's souls entangled with them.

This cut off the demon spirits intending to possess their bodies and pulled them out of the spirit pool.

The demon spirits' souls hadn't fully entered the four individuals, leaving them a fighting chance against the residual demon spirits, although they wouldn't wake up before defeating them.

Lu Yu laid the four on the ground, then turned to look at the crystal coffin filled with liquid Spiritual Qi.

"The crystal coffin, though meant for possession, contains substantial Spiritual Qi, which is real. If I can find a way to cleanse it of the demon spirit's consciousness, this Spiritual Qi would become unclaimed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, perfect for cultivation," Lu Yu thought.

After glancing at the four lying on the ground, Lu Yu rested for a while, gathered his strength, and performed a Soul Splitting Slash, shattering the demon spirits' souls inside the crystal coffin and utterly obliterating their consciousness.

After five sharp wails, the demon spirits in the five crystal coffins were cleansed, leaving only the pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The wailing from the crystal coffin where Wei Long sat was the loudest. The other four demon spirits, having already been slashed and muddled in consciousness, were ground into scattered awareness with hardly any fuss.

Only the demon spirit in the crystal coffin of Wei Long, having not yet begun possession and hence unscathed by a strike, screamed the loudest when its soul was shredded by the Soul Splitting Array.

That crystal coffin was likely the one Wei Long intended for Lu Yu, the demon spirit inside meant to possess Lu Yu as well.

Thus, Lu Yu showed no mercy, adamantly enduring the sharp wailing of the demon spirit, grinding its soul thoroughly.

Despite this, Lu Yu wasn't reassured until he'd packed all five crystal coffins into his backpack, using the backpack's filter to ensure the demon spirits' consciousness was completely obliterated inside before beginning to absorb it.
