Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 340: 340

Although the Evil Spirit had died, it was not the end of the battle . Luoluo and Bai Tianyi were both bloated . They were filled with the soul power of the Evil Spirit, and this was immensely dominating and overpowering .

Xue Wei and the Scarlet Blood Bats could do nothing now . The rest of the battle depended entirely on Luoluo, and Bai Tianyi’s willpower to resist the killing and evil vibes within the soul power .

"Guard them well," Xue Wei left the task of protecting Luoluo and Bai Tianyi to Xue Fu and the other Scarlet Blood Bats, while he himself headed towards the cave that had belonged to the spirit .

When the Evil Spirit had died, it had not left behind a corpse, as it had dissipated into thin air . Even the clothes it had been wearing were created from Spiritual Energy and had turned to nothing .

Hence, Xue Wei quickly deducted that the beast tag was left within the cave, and within this beast tag should be a destructive beast that could not be belittled .

"Come with me . " Before actually entering the cave, he turned to Lin Xiao and gestured for him to follow . Although Xue Wei could use his bloodline to threaten the beast in the beast tag, it would be much better if they could tame it .

Inside the cave was many wondrous things . Resources of every kind could be found piled into mountains .

There were storage treasures in one corner, all of which had clearly been tossed aside after killing their previous owners .

In another corner were jade boxes and bottles filled with herbs and pills . There were scrolls with formations and inscriptions .

As they walked through the entrance, Xue Wei waved his hand, and everything flew into his own storage treasure .

He had gained many spoils of war throughout the trip to the Thunder Twilight Zone, but so far he had not had the time to look through what items he had gained . It would take a long time for him to look through it all and figure out what he could use and what should be stored to sell .

Xue Wei went through the entire cave, and everything he encountered was scooped up and placed in his storage treasures . When one was filled, he would find another and fill that one as well .

When he reached the inner areas of the cave, he found that this was the residential area of the Evil Spirit . In here were random materials, mainly the furniture which was made out of exotic ore, and was quickly stored by Xue Wei .

When he reached the table, he found the beast tag .

The beast tag seemed as if it was a small emblem . It appeared to have been created from some unknown type of wood, and on top of it was the sign for beasts .

Xue Wei placed his hand on top of it and embedded his spiritual energy mark onto it .

The moment his energy landed on the beast tag, Xue Wei felt resilient energy that tried to fight against him .

Even so, Xue Wei activated his bloodline, and the resilient energy started trembling . It was clearly not willing, but in front of the overwhelming sovereignty, it could do nothing but bend and bow .

"You tame it," Xue Wei said as he tossed the beast tag to Lin Xiao . It was not that he was not willing to overwhelm the beast with his bloodline . However, it was better to tame it .

When a beast was tamed, it would become a slave of the Diviner who tamed it, not only in body but also in mind . In the mind of a tamed beast, it would be impossible ever to have a rebellious thought towards their master .

Lin Xiao sat down in the middle of the living area within the cave, took out his staff, and began facing off against the beast tag .

Xue Wei glanced at the focused Lin Xiao, but he did not stay around him . He knew that as long as the beast was within the beast tag, it had absolutely no way of fighting back against the taming process . Although the beast was likely of a higher rank, it was currently constrained by the beast tag, and thus unable to put up a fight .

Since Xue Wei knew that Lin Xiao was safe, he did not hesitate to continue his exploration of the cave .

He walked deeper into the cave . Although the living quarters were somewhat big, they were not the end of the cave .

Walking deeper in, he found that there was a stone door . This stone door seemed somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before .

Curious, and feeling as if something was pulling him, Xue Wei pushed open the door and looked into the room in the front .

The room was round . It was illuminated by a strange pearl-like orb that was in the very middle, spreading a warm and gentle light over the entire room .

Although the light was warm, Xue Wei felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at the room he was in .

Bloody scratch marks were embedded in the walls, there was not even a slight space without scratch marks, and while some of the blood seemed ancient, some was fresh .

Although the blood was on the walls, the floor was immaculate . There was not even the slightest bit of blood or spots on the ground; it was spotless and white like marble .

When looking at this room, Xue Wei instantly felt that he had been dragged back to the time when he was on the ninth floor of the Soul Tower .

From size to bloody scratches, light to floor, everything was the exact same .

Xue Wei took a deep breath . He was hesitating to enter the room . Something was calling for him within the room, but at the same time, he felt an almost tangible feeling of danger .

"Well, danger and fortune go hand in hand," Xue Wei muttered as he made a decision . Steeling his heart, he took one step into the room, and as soon as he did, the door slammed behind him .

Xue Wei felt his heart jolt, but he had more or less foreseen this happening .

Since he was prepared, his heart quickly calmed down again, and he scanned the room .

"Welcome to one of the rooms of Samsara," an ancient voice suddenly boomed out from within the orb on the table .

Xue Wei frowned . Samsara? The circle of life and death? What was this place?

The feeling of danger increased in Xue Wei’s mind, but he still managed to calm down . Even if there was a danger, he could do nothing about it now . He was trapped within the room .

Taking a deep breath, a dangerous glint appeared in Xue Wei’s eyes as they focused on the orb .

Just as it was about to continue the door was suddenly opened, and Hei Gou was standing in the door frame together with Luoluo .

Every single feeling that Xue Wei had felt before vanished . The danger had perished instantly, and so had the feeling of being summoned by something .

He looked at the pearl-like orb, but it did not even let out an ounce of light anymore .

"What a grim room," Hei Gou said as he strolled inside, looking at the many scratch marks . Xue Wei looked as both Luoluo and Hei Gou entered, but the door did not close, and the orb did not light up again .

Xue Wei hesitated, but he understood that this room would no longer activate . He instinctively realized that when Hei Gou and Luoluo entered, whatever had activated had shut down and would not activate again .

Looking at the pearl-like orb, Xue Wei hesitated for a moment before he reached out his hand and picked it up .

The orb was cool to touch, and when he touched it, space surrounding them suddenly started twisting . All of a sudden, a massive eyeball appeared in front of them .

The eyeball was red, unlike normal eyeballs, and it was leaving a heavy pressure on all of them .

Suddenly an archaic and slightly withered voice resounded in the ears of Luoluo, Hei Gou, and Xue Wei .

"Samsara is the cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound . There is no escaping the circle; there is no escaping fate . "

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes, but before he had the time to say anything, space twisted again, and the eyeball had vanished into thin air .

"How strange," Hei Gou said as he looked slightly stumped at the place where the eyeball had vanished, only Luoluo and Xue Wei were both silent .

Both seemed to be in deep thought . Xue Wei was contemplating what these rooms of Samsara might be and what their purpose was while Luoluo, on the other hand, was feeling uncomfortable because of the massive spiritual energy that had leaked from the eye .

Hei Gou was the least affected, and when he saw that both others were deep in thought, he just shrugged his shoulders as he left the room and continued on his search for treasures .

It took both Luoluo and Xue Wei took a long time before they calmed down . Xue Wei kept away the pearl-like orb, while Luoluo sent a final glance at the place where the eye had been .

"How was the refinement going?" Xue Wei asked her gently, and Luoluo, who had been severe and solemn smiled lightly when she heard his concern for her .

"It will take me some time to refine all the energy I consumed this time," she said without hiding anything . "The evilness within the energy is struggling when I am trying to cleanse it . But it is also much more powerful than the rest of the energy I command, so in the long run, it will be worth it . I just need to be patient and cleanse it little by little . "

Xue Wei nodded his head approvingly as he reached out his hand and ruffled the girl’s hair .

There were no more treasures in the residential area when they exited; everything had been swiped clean by Hei Gou .

Together they left the cave, only to find that Xue Fu and her bats had surrounded Bai Tianyi, protecting him .

His brows were furrowed, sweat was pouring down his face, and his clothes were drenched .

A red mist seemed to envelop him, and from this mist, Xue Wei could feel hatred, anger, resentment, and other negative energies .

This was the evil energy, and Bai Tianyi was pushing himself . "That idiot," Luoluo muttered as she looked at Bai Tianyi with a tinge of worry in her eyes, "He is reaching for the Ordinary Saint rank," she explained, "but he will need to consume a whole lot of evil energy to do so . I don’t know if he can cleanse it fast enough, even with the natural defense that a sword artist has against evil beings . "

Xue Wei had a grim expression on his face as he observed Bai Tianyi . "We can only trust in him," he said eventually with a sigh .

"He must have a certain amount of faith in himself to be able to attempt this," he continued, "so we need to give him peace an quiet and trust that the evil spirit will not erode him, but conquer it instead . "

Luoluo nodded her head . Things were indeed as he said, they could do nothing else than trust in Bai Tianyi, and considering how he was an ancient old monster who had seen so many things, he was likely to know what he was doing .

"Time to look at our spoils of war," Xue Wei snickered as he began sorting the many spoils and resources he had gained throughout the adventure .

Xue Wei laughed happily when he looked into the many resources he had gained, and even more so, he was relieved when he saw that there were multiple ships in the storage treasures .
