Chapter 292: Netherworld Energy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Have you ever felt true loneliness? That was the only thing Fang Yu could hear after seeing the black-and-white world.
Not only did the world around Fang Yu turn black and white, but even sounds had almost disappeared from his world.
Fang Yu felt as if he was in an empty space. That feeling of emptiness was difficult to describe with words.
Other than that, Fang Yu felt that he had lost control of his body.
The spiritual energy that could originally be easily controlled could not be felt at all for some reason.
Fang Yu had never experienced the feeling of being completely powerless against anything.
It was the first time he felt fear.
That was right. It was fear.
Fang Yu had never expected such a strange and dead space.
He had no idea why all of this had happened.
Fortunately, there was still Lu Yuan, who was not rendered black and white, in the space.
Therefore, Fang Yu’s full attention was placed on Lu Yuan.
However, for some reason, even the only colored matter, Lu Yuan, was frozen on the spot.
It was as if Fang Yu’s time had been completely frozen at this moment.
The moment Fang Yu froze, Lu Yuan walked toward him step by step.
Fang Yu was completely unaware of that.
The others saw the exact same scene of Fang Yu being frozen.
What was wrong with Fang Yu? Why did he look like he was frozen?
Shen Hongxuan immediately sensed that something was wrong when he saw Lu Yuan approaching Fang Yu step by step.
In order to find out what had happened between Fang Yu and Lu Yuan, Shen Hongxuan immediately circulated the power of his divine soul with all his might.
The five locks of heaven quickly appeared on Shen Hongxuan’s body and suppressed him.
But even so, Shen Hongxuan still released a strong divine soul fluctuation.
His eyes also turned a dazzling golden color.
Special divine ability, Omniscient Flame.
Relying on his special ability, Shen Hongxuan saw some things that ordinary people could not see.
Under Fang Yu’s feet, an incomparably huge array was circulating.
The main body of the array was the Mountain River Painting that Lu Yuan had just taken out.
It was obvious that Lu Yuan had greatly modified his Mountain River Painting. Moreover, there was immense corrupted divine soul power in the painting. Such power was the unique energy of the Reincarnation Realm, and it was very abnormal for a living person to possess corrupted divine soul power.
The reason why Fang Yu had frozen was most likely related to the corrupted divine soul power.
Shen Hongxuan’s guess was correct. Lu Yuan’s method of controlling Fang Yu was not complicated.
As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, Fang Yu’s five senses were not only sharper than ordinary people, but the strength of his divine soul also gave him a different kind of spiritual perception.
That was an exclusive ability that all cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage, or in other words divine soul cultivators who had cultivated their divine souls to a certain extent, could possess.
However, despite being an advantage of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it could also be a disadvantage of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
If the perception of the divine soul was blocked, then the perception of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would not be much different from that of an ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivator.
Lu Yuan’s Mountain River Painting had the ability to block the divine soul of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
This was because the area Lu Yuan’s Mountain River Painting could materialize was not only the Moongazer Serpent Realm, but also the netherworld.
Although the area they were in was not big and only covered the Qingyun Sect’s territory, Lu Yuan had paid a huge price to get it from Moongazer Serpent King of Hell.
After all, Lu Yuan’s actions were equivalent to snatching a portion of the netherworld territory from the Moongazer Serpent King of Hell.
If not for the fact that Lu Yuan’s DingDing Ghostcatcher had really been of great help to the underworld, there was zero chance of making such a deal.
And the Yin Mountain River Painting, which was obtained at such a great price, was naturally of great use.
Its function was to store corrupted divine soul power gathered from the netherworld.
The so-called corrupted divine soul power was the special soul power emanated by a deceased cultivator’s divine soul.
That kind of energy was very rare in the World of Living, but not in the netherworld.
Additionally, the corrupted divine soul power stored by Lu Yuan was not ordinary corrupted divine soul power, but special signals transmitted by the countless spiritual energy mobile phones in the netherworld.
Because corrupted divine soul power was essentially the power of a cultivator’s divine soul, it was easier for a cultivator’s soul to sense those powers.
However, once countless signals filled the surroundings in an instant, even the divine soul of a cultivator could not process all of them in a short period of time.
Not to mention Fang Yu, even Lu Yuan himself could not do it.
It had taken Lu Yuan some time to adapt his divine soul to the corrupted divine soul power and reach the point where he could block the transmissions.
When Fang Yu, who had not received any training, had received so many divine soul signals in such a short period of time, his soul immediately activated its self-protection mechanism.
That was the reason why Fang Yu felt that everything around him had stopped moving, and then the world instantly turned black and white.
The pause was because the moment the Mountain River Painting unleashed the corrupted divine soul power, Fang Yu’s divine soul had absorbed that first, causing him to be unable to respond to the external environment, light, temperature, and other stimuli.
As for Fang Yu’s world turning black and white, it meant that Fang Yu’s divine soul had activated ultimate self-protection.
In order to prevent itself from collapsing due to the signal overload, Fang Yu’s divine soul sealed itself..
