CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 95 SOUL TECHNOLOGY AND HEAVEN COMPUTATION CENTER

Lu Yan did not use the Soul Banner immediately, not only because he wanted to test his current Qi Cultivation at the twelfth level, but largely due to He Dongsheng’s presence.

Having uncovered immense value from He Dongsheng in two consecutive versions, Lu Yan realized He Dongsheng’s significance.

This counterfeit cultivator seemed to have some causal connection with Zhao Huowang, who, as an ordinary person, glimpsed the essence of version updates and left behind important artifacts like the "Heavenly Dao Discussion" and the Heavenly Dao Code.

If Lu Yan wanted to find traces left by Zhao Huowang in different versions, he had to gain He Dongsheng’s favor, and naturally could not use the Hundred Souls Banner Magical Artifact in front of He Dongsheng.

So Lu Yan could only let He Dongsheng escape first before exerting his full strength.

Within the black mist, the Night Parade of Hundred Demons occurred, with three main souls and eight hundred fierce ghosts appearing entirely within the ghostly mist, transforming the area into a ghostly realm.

Even the weakest fierce ghost was at the middle Qi Cultivation stage, while the strongest Giant Spirit Main Soul had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even the Blood Mustache Main Soul was just a footstep away from Foundation Establishment.

This formidable lineup surrounded Lu Yan, making him seem like the ruler of ten thousand ghosts.

In the cyber version, spiritual ability users do not cultivate souls, but the silver-suited young man, as an Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User, had a soul that had reached the level of spiritual transformation, already possessing some traits of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator’s divine soul, and could easily see the truth within the ghostly realm.

As someone from the cyber version, the silver-suited young man had never seen such a ghostly realm.

"City No.7 has developed fear spray combined with virtual reality technology, reportedly able to create a fear illusion that even Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users can become immersed in.

The scene before us must be illusion technology from City No.7.

As long as you face the crisis directly and break through the fear on the level of consciousness, you can easily overcome it."

In terror, the silver-suited young man followed his cognition, instinctively believing all before him was false.

However, Lu Yan did not give him the time to think, a cold command echoed in the ghostly realm.

"Kill him."

In the next moment, all eight hundred fierce ghosts and the Giant Spirit Main Soul rushed at the silver-suited young man.

The tide of ghosts swept through, with powerful yin energy making even his transformed soul shudder, and facing the ghost claws that were so close, the silver suit finally abandoned his naive thought.

His instincts told him that if he did not make any defense, he would die!

The Spiritual Ability Code was fully activated, and the silver-suited young man raised his right hand and struck with all his might at the first fierce ghost.

However, to his surprise, the fist that could destroy a building passed through the ghost’s body, not causing any harm.

Instead, the next moment, a ghost claw swept through his body, spreading a soul-tearing pain throughout.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Scott mentioning that the other party could control an invisible soul creature.

The silver-suited young man immediately changed his approach, gathering spiritual energy in his right hand to grab a fierce ghost, and with the support of spiritual energy, he finally managed to touch the ghost.

A large amount of spiritual energy was poured onto the fierce ghost without reservation, melting the soul body like snow.

But this was the extent of it, as the remaining hundreds of fierce ghosts had already closed in, and the Giant Spirit Main Soul had directly launched its talent skill, transforming into a massive ghost to suppress him.

The silver-suited young man could only activate the Spiritual Ability Code to dodge the attacks, but no matter how he tried to evade, some of the eight hundred ghost claws could still touch him, and the soul-tearing pain spread all over again.

At this moment, he finally savored the taste of death.

"Activate the Firepower Matrix! Activate the Firepower Matrix!"

The silver-suited young man shouted in panic, but his Personal Intelligent Brain on his wrist did not respond.

In the first short encounter with the fierce ghosts, his Intelligent Brain Spirit Body had already been snatched away by a ghost, rendering the Intelligent Brain useless.

Even if the Intelligent Brain were still functioning, the ghostly realm transformed by the Soul Banner was no joke; without breaking through it, the Intelligent Brain’s information could not be transmitted outside, let alone activate the Firepower Matrix.

The cessation of the Intelligent Brain’s operation, the failure of the life-saving cards, the eerie and terrifying ghostly realm in front of him, and countless ghostly shadows finally filled the silver-suited young man with a sense of despair.

He tried to escape the ghostly realm, but the dense ghostly mist obscured everything in sight, making it impossible to discern the direction to flee.

Coupled with the ghosts’ pursuit and block, the silver-suited young man sank deeper into trouble.

Lu Yan watched the scene from afar, seeing an Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User comparable to an early-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator being overwhelmed by a horde of ghosts, unable to mount an effective defense.

The strong physical body was useless against the fierce ghosts, and the superficial use of spiritual energy could not effectively kill them.

If not for his soul already transformed, the silver-suited young man would have long been dead under the assault of hundreds of fierce ghosts.

But even so, the silver-suited young man’s defeat was only a matter of time.

"Boom!"

The massive Giant Spirit Ghost God punched again, and despite the incredible strength granted by the Spiritual Ability Code’s transformation, the silver-suited young man could not withstand the difference in talent skills.

Half of his body was smashed into pieces, with the scattered flesh unable to sustain the Spiritual Ability Code.

The remaining flesh, already separated from the host, could not render any further repair, and with the incompleteness of the Spiritual Ability Code, the flesh’s healing ability vanished completely.

The writhing flesh turned into dead matter, and the remaining half of the body gradually weakened as numerous fierce ghosts pursued their victory, forcibly extracting the silver-suited young man’s soul with their claws.

Thus, the body lost the support of the soul completely, akin to a precise spiritual energy machine rendered dead.

The Giant Spirit Main Soul grabbed the youth’s scarred soul and returned to Lu Yan’s side, offering the soul voluntarily.

Lu Yan looked at the soul maintaining a human outline, speaking in a cold tone:

"Hand over the Soul Transformation knowledge, and I will spare your life."

The scarred soul showed a mocking smile upon hearing this:

"Soul Transformation knowledge? So that’s what you want."

"Let me tell you the truth, in City No.14, there is only one place with Soul Transformation knowledge, and that’s the Heaven Computation Center!

It is the source of Soul Technology, with vast soul computation power and countless test subjects capable of creating the strongest Soul Technology. All Intelligent Brains also originate from the Heaven Computation Center.

Other than this, even in the core laboratory of City No.14, there is no technology related to souls."

Saying this, the soul revealed a maniacal smile:

"I’ve told you the place, but... do you dare to go?"
