Chapter 2340 Soul-Erosion Wind
In the void, Lu Ye's spiritual consciousness spread, and the space around him began to distort. At the same time, the same changes occurred in a certain space in front of him.

It was as if two different spaces had created a wonderful resonance.

After more than ten breaths, Lu Ye suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already at the place where his mind had just locked onto.

The art of space shifting!

This is a true space-shifting technique, just as Su Yan had performed it in the previous battle. Lu Ye did not use the Void Dao Pattern this time, but still managed to do it.

This is the benefit brought by having a deeper understanding of the wonders of space, and it also means that his attainments in the way of space have greatly improved.

Looks good...

But in reality it is of little use.

Because if Lu Ye wanted to perform this secret technique now, he had to stand still. Perhaps it was because he was not skilled in it, or perhaps it was because his attainments in space were not enough. In any case, he had never succeeded in doing so while moving.

Moreover, it took too long, more than ten breaths to succeed. Such a secret technique could not be performed in battle.

Su Yan was different. Lu Ye had chased her several times before. No matter how fierce the battle was, she could move away with just one step.

If Lu Ye had not been able to construct the Void Dao Pattern to disrupt the space she was in, there would have been no way to restrain her.

Another point is that his movement distance is limited, and the limit is within the range of his field of vision. It will not work if he exceeds this limit.

No matter how you look at it, being able to perform the art of teleportation means that his attainments in the way of space have been greatly improved.

After trying a few times, the novelty wore off, so Lu Ye stopped wasting time and just kept moving forward.

Because he was bringing Su Yan with him, Lu Ye had been very careful on the way forward. Although he was very strong now, he still had to try to avoid troubles that could be avoided.

The phoenix eggs seem very hard, but Lu Ye doesn't know whether they will be damaged if affected by the aftermath of the battle.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The phoenix egg didn't make any movement. Lu Ye could only feel the powerful and pure vitality hidden inside.

He had no idea when Su Yan would be resurrected.

One day, as he was walking forward, Lu Ye suddenly frowned.

Because he sensed a hint of warmth and the presence of wind.

But this is empty space, how could there be wind, especially hot wind?

I looked around and saw nothing unusual.

But soon Lu Ye discovered that something was wrong, because as the hot wind blew, his own soul power was actually dissipating!
Moreover, as time went by, the speed and temperature of the hot air became faster and faster, and the soul power was lost faster and faster, but the physical body did not feel much discomfort.

There are many strange and unsolved mysteries in Xingyuan. Lu Ye had heard Jiuying talk about many things about this before. He immediately knew that he had encountered one.

This gust of hot wind may seem like no big deal, but once the soul power is blown away, one will probably become a living dead.

Lu Ye quickly checked the condition of the phoenix eggs behind him and was surprised to find that the phoenix eggs were not affected by the hot wind.

This put him at ease a little.

But in this situation, he didn't dare to stay there any longer, and immediately rushed in the direction of the source of the hot wind, trying to get out of the range covered by this strange hot wind.

What made him feel helpless was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of it.

The speed at which soul power is consumed is not fast, but it cannot be stopped at all. This kind of constant loss of soul power will definitely not be good over time.

After half a day, Lu Ye didn't know how far he had run, but he was still like this.

He realized something was wrong.

It doesn't make sense that this hot wind would cover such a vast area. What went wrong?
Just as he was pondering, a voice suddenly came from his ear: "My friend, hello here."

Lu Ye immediately stopped, raised his hand and pressed down the Panshan Knife, showing a vigilant look.

There was someone nearby, but the key point was that he didn't detect any scent.

His divine consciousness spread out, searching in all directions, but under the blowing of the strange hot wind, it disappeared without a trace as soon as it left the body.

"This way, on your left!" The voice sounded again, as if it had seen through Lu Ye's current state and kindly reminded him, "Your mind cannot leave your body when you are wrapped in the Soul-Erosion Wind."

Lu Ye stood there and pondered for a moment, then turned around and flew to the left.

With his current strength of two hundred and forty Dao, there are really few people in this world who can be his opponent, unless he meets a peak Daoist master like Ri Yan who possesses elemental treasures as Dao weapons.

The current situation is strange, so he needs to find someone who knows the inside story to inquire about it. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable being disturbed by this so-called Soul-Eroding Wind.

But in just a moment, Lu Ye arrived at a floating land. There was nothing else on the floating land except a stone statue standing there.

It was a huge head statue, but it only had one head.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Lu Ye stood in front of the stone statue, which was more than ten feet tall and had a mottled surface, and looked up.

The head had no hair, it was completely bald, and it had a kind smile on its face, looking harmless.

"Are you talking?" Lu Ye asked.

Although I didn't feel any life from the stone statue, there was nothing else worth paying attention to here.

"Hello, young friend. It's me who's talking."

The stone statue did not move at all, but a sound came into Lu Ye's ears.

Lu Ye was amazed. It was true that there were all kinds of wonders in the world. He had seen many kinds of monsters in different shapes and sizes, but he had never seen one like this one that was lifeless but intelligent.

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on?" Lu Ye asked.

The statue chuckled: "To be honest, I don't know what happened to me. It just so happened that one day I suddenly gained intelligence, and it has been like this ever since."

"You can't move?"

"Can't move."

It's so pitiful... Although it has intelligence, it has been standing here for countless years without being able to move. It's worse than being confused.

"You just said it was called Soul-Eroding Wind?" Lu Ye asked again.

"Yes, the strange hot wind that has been lingering in this area will blow away the soul power. I have heard other Taoist friends describe it this way before."

"Oh?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "Someone has encountered this before, but I don't know how they solved it?"

The stone statue chuckled and said, "My dear friend, are you curious? The area covered by this Soul-Erosion Wind is quite large."

"Yeah, I can't get rid of it no matter how much I run."

"You can't get rid of it just like that, because this Soul-Erosion Wind doesn't just cover a huge area, but it keeps following you."

"Is that so?" Lu Ye frowned and thought carefully. It was possible. No matter how hard he ran, he couldn't escape. It turned out that this so-called Soul-Eroding Wind had been following him.

If that's the case, then it's easy to solve.

He only needs to use the art of space transfer to have a chance to get away, but to be on the safe side, it is better to use the clone and use the connection between the clone and the original body to perform long-distance transfer.

"In fact, the solution is very simple." The stone statue spoke again, "This Soul-Eroding Wind is only attracted by vitality. I see that the egg behind you has strong vitality. Fellow Daoist, why don't you drop the egg here? The Soul-Eroding Wind will stay, and you can go on your journey with peace of mind."

Lu Ye blinked and said, "No need for that. Thank you for clearing up my doubts, bye!"

He paused, faced the stone statue, and floated backwards.

The stone statue remained motionless, still looking at him harmlessly.

Lu Ye suddenly felt something was wrong, because the distance between him and the stone statue did not increase, and the scene around him began to distort.

"My friend, you'd better keep the egg." said the statue.

Lu Ye said nothing.

"If you don't want to drink my toast, then you must drink the punishment. Since you don't want to, don't blame me for taking it away from you!" When the stone statue shouted in a low voice, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the earth shook.

It was originally standing on the ground, and then it slowly stood up.

The thighs of different shapes under the body look strange and there are at least dozens of them. These thighs obviously do not come from the same creature, let alone the same race. It is as if someone cut off the thighs of many monks and pieced them together under this stone statue.

Not only does the statue have many legs, but as it stands up, it now has dozens of arms instead of the original one!

“Boy, you are only a Daoist, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of me? Not to mention that you are a Daoist, I have been entrenched here for many years, and I have killed dozens or even hundreds of Daoists. If you are sensible, just leave the egg behind you.”

The stone statue spoke viciously, no longer as gentle and warm as before, and instead looked like a bandit blocking the road and robbing people.

Lu Ye lowered his eyes and said calmly, "The so-called Soul-Eroding Wind is what you did, right?"

It didn't make sense that he was so unlucky to encounter such a strange thing. Combined with the performance of the stone statue at this moment, Lu Ye knew that this was the other party's method.

It uses this method to contact the monks passing by, and then lure them here to kill them.

If this is the case, the Soul-Eroding Wind will not last too long. After all, it is a secret technique and it will definitely take its toll on the stone statue. It cannot be maintained forever.

But anyone who encounters such a strange thing will make the same choice as Lu Ye and come over to ask for advice.

As for its ability to reveal Lu Ye's cultivation...

Under the soul-eclipsing wind, Lu Ye has been mobilizing his Taoist power. How could it not feel it?

The difference between the power of entering the Tao and integrating the Tao is too obvious.

"You are smart, but unfortunately you made a stupid choice!" The statue snorted coldly, "I say it again, leave the egg behind you, and you can go away. I am in a good mood today, so I will not kill you!"

Lu Ye suddenly looked up: "Who told you to talk to me like this..."

When the voice rang out, the man had already moved away, passing in front of the stone statue, leaving behind a dazzling blade light.

The stone statue, which had been looking arrogant and waving its dozens of arms in a nondescript manner, suddenly froze in place, with great fear bursting out of its eyes, and the second half of Lu Ye's sentence came to its ears.

“… courage?”
