The blade in Lin Sheng's hand was glowing in white. It turned into a hurricane, ravaged the army of dark spirits. Every revolution of the blade would kill a few dozen dark spirits. No one could stop him.

The dark spirits were the best when it came to soul abilities, but it was useless against Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng had lost count of how many soul powers he had devoured. But he had absorbed the memory fragments of several commanders in his dreams. So attacking him was akin to attacking all the creatures he had summoned.

Like a massive net, his soul was connected to all the summoned creatures around him. Any soul assault on the net would be shared by everyone. And the attacks of soul illusion, charm and chaos were useless against Lin Sheng. If he were to fall into an illusion, charm or chaos, the soul of his summoned creatures would pull him out of the negative state. Unless someone could drag all his summoned creatures into a state of negativity, this soul ability would not work on him.

Suddenly, four dark spirit threads that looked like the root of a tree wrapped around his waist. At the same time, four Darkspirit Generals were releasing Soul Piercers, which turned into gray twisted waves along the threads and exploded on the back of Lin Sheng.

Yet, Lin Sheng looked unruffled. He waved his sword, and the white holy power shot out in the shape of a sword, slicing the two Darkspirit Generals in half.

As he moved forward, one step at a time, the other dark spirits lunged at him. “He is wounded! Let's kill him!”

The dark spirits of different shapes charged at him, surrounding him by forming a large red sphere around him. The remaining two Darkspirit Generals lifted their hands with skull-like black smoke rising from their bodies.

“Kill him!” The two lunged out with their bodies turning as black as ink, dying the dark spirit sphere that shrouded Lin Sheng black. The dark spirits became more violent, their soul power more powerful. Every single dark spirit on the battlefield was pressing on Lin Sheng.

“Is he dead yet?” A Darkspirit Marshal took a closer look.

“No. It won't be that easy. If it were that simple, this guy wouldn't have come this far,” another Darkspirit Marshal muttered.

“But with so many dark spirits piling up on him, coupled with the pollution, even you and me—”

A loud boom that sounded like a bomb explosion interrupted him. The massive sphere of dark spirits shattered, and tons of their fragments were burning in the air and turning into the most rudimentary dark spirit beads.

Lin Sheng stood unscathed in the center of all this, the dark-spirit sword that he formed impromptu was still in his hand.

“Anyone else?” He opened his hand. Threads of dark energy flew out, collected the dark spirit beads from the ground, and brought them back onto his palm.

As his holy power flashed, Lin Sheng purified the dark spirit beads and consumed them. This enabled him to replenish his holy power, which was half depleted.

He then looked into the distance and saw three individuals that differed totally from the rest.

At over three meters tall with a face, they were giants with only a red body. Their skin had a weird and twisted pattern. Their faces lacked features. Down on their shoulders, there were small eyes on each side. Lin Sheng's rough estimation was that there were about thirty of them.

“So, are all of you next?” Lin Sheng's eyes were affixed on them while he purified and ingested the dark spirit beads.

“Outsiders, how dare you break the rules we have made! It's still not too late if you leave now. Otherwise…” A Darkspirit Marshal sneered. Unfortunately, his threat was weak. Compared with the dark spirit beads scattered on the ground, the three looked even more vulnerable.

“There is no need to talk to him. Just do it.” The other two Darkspirit Marshals flashed red as weird masks with horizontal stripes appeared on their faces. An eye at the center of the mask was rolling like that of a living creature.

There was nothing the talking Darkspirit Marshal could do but toe the line. It also summoned a mask onto its face and stood with his mates. The masks significantly boosted their strength and consciousness. They could even extract the soul power from the surrounding air with ease.

“Kill him!” The three marshals charged at Lin Sheng from different directions. But halfway, they disappeared into the ground. It happened almost instantaneously. Following that, a rumbling sound came as three giant bloody mud giants rose from the earth. Standing at over five meters tall, they struck their hands at Lin Sheng.

“Possessed non-living things?” Lin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He knew that dark spirits could possess living things. But he had never thought they could even do that to dirt.

If they were to enter the real world, they would take to the ability like a duck to water; they could practically possess anything. If that happened, catching them would be very difficult. There was a vast difference in their strength before and after possession.

Lin Sheng raised his long sword and struck the three hands coming down on him. The sword collided with the three red giant hands in the air before him. They stayed there for a while before an explosion broke out.

The sword light shattered while blood-like mud began to ooze out from the giant hands. They backed away.

During the engagement, Lin Sheng felt an invisible soul assault coming in from all directions. If not for his high resistance to soul attack, he would have been dead. No other apex Six Wingers would withstand this assault.

“Kill him!” The three mud giants charged at him again. Their wounds had healed.

Now, Lin Sheng clenched his sword with both hands, his body armor crackling, and his body arching. As his Rock Dragon bloodline rose, a pair of half-meter-long black horns grew on his head.

“Die!” He struck his sword in a horizontal move and clashed with the mud giants again. The earth under his feet cracked under the impact force. His long black hair fluttered in the wind behind him.

Against the tremendous strength, the three mud giants did not have any advantage over him. They roared in anger. Purple eyes cracked open on the body of one of the first mud giants. The eyes stared at Lin Sheng, trying to confuse him.

Barbs grew on the second mud giant and wrapped around its body like armor.

The third mud giant opened his mouth, shooting out a beam of dark light at Lin Sheng. White holy light lit up on his hand, just in time to intercept the dark light beam.

The other two mud giants charged forward and engaged in close-quarters combat with Lin Sheng.

Blocking the dark light beam with one hand and fighting the other two giants with his sword in the other, Lin Sheng was sort of battling on two fronts. Despite their fierce pounding, the two giants could not get the slightest advantage—if anything, they were being suppressed.
