Chapter 349 Extremely Urgent!
"Almost! Just a hair away!"
Xu Yi stared at the Soul Stealing Seed crawling through the air like a snail, his eyes wide as brass bells.
Since a moment ago, the suppression from the Gate of Truth inside had been continuously weakening, allowing the Soul Stealing Seed to finally move.
He could roughly guess the reason; it must be that the energy supplied to the Gate of Truth was diminishing.
Though it crawled at a snail's pace, with perseverance, it would eventually reach its destination, and the Soul Stealing Seed finally neared the young sprout.
As the sprout grew, its demand for energy increased, and the commotion from its devouring became more and more exaggerated.
A hurricane formed around the sprout, swallowing the energy of this world with the force of a whale, whipping up sand and stones.
Perhaps these Philosopher's Stones were dispensable to the Gate of Truth, which showed no intention of stopping it.
The Soul Stealing Seed reached the edge of the hurricane, and it was swept up into it. Although it was a soul construct without a physical form, there existed "Divine Light" within the hurricane.
The "Divine Light" wasn't even specifically targeting the Soul Stealing Seed; it merely brushed past it, and the Soul Stealing Seed instantly crumbled into pieces.
Xu Yi's complexion turned ugly; who knew how much effort he had spent dodging these "Divine Lights" along the way.
It was like a parkour game, overcoming countless hardships only to fall into a pit when the end was in sight.
Just then, Xu Yi suddenly heard the sound of flowing water. He was stunned for a moment—where did the water come from in this place?
The crystal red liquid poured down from above his head, not reaching the ground but slowly streaming in the air.
Philosopher's Stone, and a new one at that.
Xu Yi soon realized it must be the Alchemical Weapon "Seven Deadly Sins" devouring a new Origin.
The Gate of Truth completely isolated his perception; he couldn't even switch to the perspective of the Nest of the Evil God to check on the outside situation.
In fact, he still had a lot of Philosopher's Stones left, but they were all in the toy space; he was inside the body of the Serpent of Finale and couldn't bring them in.
Xu Yi watched the flowing Philosopher's Stones, a speculative light flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly had a plan.
The "river" of Philosopher's Stone abruptly stopped, and a ladleful of crystal red liquid floated in front of Xu Yi. The river in front of his eyes looked vast, but if placed in reality, it was roughly 30ml.
Xu Yi created another Soul Stealing Seed.
He had that sprout to thank for this opportunity; if it hadn't been for the unusual fragrance the sprout emitted, nourishing his soul, it would have been difficult for him to create another Soul Stealing Seed.
The Soul Stealing Seed drifted towards the Philosopher's Stone, hiding in the center of the Philosopher's Stone.
Exactly! Xu Yi planned to use the Philosopher's Stone as "Armor," to protect the Soul Stealing Seed inside.
He hadn't given up on that sprout.
The Knight's Armor and the True God's Spirit were both soulless constructs, but the battle had escalated to this extent, the conflict subtly intensified.
Blazing light formed golden wings behind the Spirit of the True God, the wings beat, and the flames of Fire Feather shot towards the Knight's Armor like swords.
The Knight's Armor was wrapped in dense vines; the vines bore black flowers, falling petals spun and slashed around it.
The Fire Feather was cut, sparks exploded, showering down like rain of light.
As they fought fiercely, neither noticed that a sesame-sized Philosopher's Stone flew out from the body of the Spirit of the True God, heading towards the sprout.
The hurricane swept up that single Philosopher's Stone, blending into the "sandstorm,"; no one could tell this Philosopher's Stone was different from the others.
Xu Yi painstakingly manipulated the Philosopher's Stone through the Soul Stealing Seed, flying towards the sprout.
Now, calling it a sprout was no longer appropriate. After devouring a great deal of energy, the sprout had become a "three-leafed plant," with three leaves like emeralds trembling slightly in the hurricane.
Xu Yi still thought too simply; an invisible Barrier enveloped the "three-leafed plant," even the Divine Light was deflected, let alone his tiny Philosopher's Stone.
But the next second, a suction force suddenly acted on the Philosopher's Stone; its energy was absorbed, and the Soul Stealing Seed, mixed with that energy, flew into the "three-leafed plant."
The surprise was so sudden that Xu Yi couldn't react at first.
The "Clover" actually started to actively absorb the Soul Stealing Seed!
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately switched to the perspective of the Soul Stealing Seed.
Everywhere he looked was filled with the green of emerald, the sky and earth teeming with a thriving vitality. Floating above this green space was a cluster of golden warmth.

Xu Yi stared at that orb of warmth, no bigger than the size of a palm, and after a moment, he realized that it wasn't the sun at all, but the newly born soul of the "Clover."@@novelbin@@
Without any hesitation, Xu Yi commanded the Soul Stealing Seed to pounce towards the "Golden Soul."
The Soul Stealing Seed, which was separated from Xu Yi in his weakened state, was of course not very powerful, about as frail as a life-threatened old man.
But the soul in front of him was not much stronger, like a newborn infant; the two were more or less evenly matched.
The Soul Stealing Seed successfully merged with the soul before him.
Xu Yi secretly rejoiced, thankful that he had been just in time. The soul was continuously growing stronger, and if he had been any later, his weak Soul Stealing Seed would not have stood a chance.
He decisively activated the Soul Stealing Seed.
The Soul Stealing Seed sprouted a mass of roots that spread inside the "warmth," as the "warmth" writhed in pain.
As a soul born of the Clover, it was indeed a mighty entity, but having just been born without any spiritual wisdom, it was like a newborn baby holding a sword, completely clueless on how to use it.
Even if someone invaded its body, it could only "cry out loud."
Xu Yi's soul shuddered slightly, not out of fear, but due to excitement.
Because as the Soul Stealing Seed took effect, he actually had a sense of control over that soul, even though it was extremely faint.
But if little gains accumulate over time, it was not impossible to eventually control it.
Not only a sense of control, but the Soul Stealing Seed also siphoned off a bit of the soul's power. It wasn't much, but it was enough to replenish his soul, giving him a breath of life back.
But the good times didn't last long; the energy of the Soul Stealing Seed was quickly exhausted, and the Great Endeavor of Theft collapsed midway.
Without stopping to take a breath, Xu Yi created another Soul Stealing Seed, wrapped it with the Philosopher's Stone, and sent it out.
All he had now was one belief: as long as his soul did not dissipate, the production of Soul Stealing Seeds would not stop!
This opportunity was too rare, if the soul inside had been even a little bit stronger, the Soul Stealing Seed would have been ineffective.
One by one, the mung bean-sized Philosopher's Stones flew towards the "Clover."
The soul within the "Clover" didn't learn from its mistake; it had no idea where its main troublemaker came from. It was like a baby, instinctively "eating food" when hungry.
Xu Yi repeated the same trick over and over.
Those from the Ring of Destruction could never have imagined, by sending Xu Yi into the Gate of Truth wanting to kill him, they actually gave him the chance to stealthily rob them blind.
But the worst happened—the Philosopher's Stones were exhausted!
It's not that Xu Yi didn't want to use a mung bean-sized Philosopher's Stone to carry several Soul Stealing Seeds, but that he couldn't.
When the "Clover" devoured the Philosopher's Stone, the Soul Stealing Seed would hide within its energy flow.
But each Philosopher's Stone had limited energy, and if there wasn't enough energy, or if there were too many Soul Stealing Seeds hidden within, it would cause the Soul Stealing Seeds to be "squeezed" out.
Once exposed, the fate of the Soul Stealing Seed was self-evident—it would be annihilated by the Divine Light in an instant.
Because of his earlier greedy attempt, he lost several Soul Stealing Seeds, which made him feel very distressed.
Where could he get more Philosopher's Stones?
Urgent, urgent, extremely urgent!
Xu Yi was so frantic that he was hopping mad, like an ant on a hot pan, because if he didn't take action quickly, the soul within the "Clover" was going to become strong.
What do you think?
