I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 326: Soul-Catching Bashen
"Snake eggs!!!"

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but exclaimed. Where are the exotic flowers and fruits that were promised? Where are the exotic fruits that were promised to give you the power of thunder and fire? How did it turn into snake eggs?

At this time, Zhang Chen heard the words of the Great Freedom Demon, and suddenly figured out why this fruit had to be swallowed in the spiritual world, and would rot once it reached the material world. Because the mysterious power in the spiritual world was sufficient to maintain the activity of the fetus and egg, once it returned to the material world, the mysterious power in the air would decrease, and the fetus and egg would lose the environment for survival and would immediately perish.

At this time, the Great Freedom Demon at the side gave his own explanation: "Once a person eats the snake eggs, the snake eggs will parasitize their bloodline, merge with their bloodline, parasitize it, and turn it into a hotbed for nurturing themselves. Although people can use the power of the python, they will turn themselves into pythons in the final bloodline transformation, and then be swallowed up by the consciousness in the python's fetus and egg."

“In fact, it’s not just humans. Humans are just alternatives for the Basah Snake, a helpless choice. The ones that the Basah Snake wants to confuse are those natural creatures, or those creatures with powerful bloodlines. The Basah Snake looks down on human bloodlines, but creatures in the spiritual world are already scarce, and this Basah Snake has been dead for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and the activity of its fetus and eggs is constantly declining. Now that humans have appeared, they have become the only choice for the Basah Snake.” The Great Freedom Demon explained to Zhang Chen.

"But you have the skill of swallowing, and the snake eggs are the best tonic for you. If you can swallow the fetal eggs of the Bashea and steal the essence in them, you will definitely be reborn, and maybe even stimulate some potential." The Great Freedom Demon said with a hint of temptation.

Zhang Chen's heart was slightly moved when he heard this. You know, his devouring skill can devour everything and transform his roots. He is just an ordinary mortal with average talent for cultivation. If he can transform into a Taoist body, or a bloodline, or an innate root, it would be a big win.

"But forget it. This Bashe was a 'fruit' level existence when he was alive. Although his essence has dissipated in the countless years since his death and his power is less than one hundredth of it, he is definitely not something you can covet. And you see the flesh and blood on the ground constantly disappearing. I suspect that this old guy Bashe wants to use the flesh and blood of all living beings to resurrect himself." The Great Freedom Demon looked at the flesh and blood on the ground that was constantly disappearing and said.

"Can the dead be resurrected?" Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard this.

"You underestimate the existence of the 'fruit' level. Fruits are also divided into different levels. Those powerful fruits can be resurrected from other people's memories as long as someone remembers him. Moreover, there are countless evil means in this world. It is not surprising if this python has a means of resurrection." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the Great Freedom Demon, thinking something in his mind. The resurrection of the Great Freedom Demon was inexplicable. This guy said that he was just a memory of someone else, and then he was resurrected. What about the Basho in front of him?

However, if what the Great Freedom Demon said was true, and the python in front of him wanted to be resurrected from the dead, Zhang Chen would become excited.

His soul-stealing skill was specifically designed to counter this. Under the law of cause and effect, as long as you were dead, even if the king of heaven came, he would still be seduced by him.

Zhang Chen looked at the snake's corpse, and the next moment he activated his soul-stealing skill:
[Discovered Target: Basai Snake’s Regret]

【Status: Markable】

Zhang Chen looked at the reaction of the golden finger and immediately became alert, but at the same time he felt a little creepy. Fortunately, he was reminded by the Great Freedom Demon and used his skills to observe in advance, otherwise he would have been ambushed by this old guy.

"Mark!" Zhang Chen thought to himself and used his skills directly.

The next moment, a mysterious mark flew out, and Zhang Chen and the python in front of him developed a mysterious connection.

Just as Zhang Chen's soul-stealing mark fell into the body of the Bashen, the remaining spirit of the Bashen seemed to sense something, and a black energy was seen flowing in its body. That strand of black energy was as thick as a thumb and twenty centimeters long. There were no facial features on the front face, only two balls of green flames like eyes, which stared at Zhang Chen for a moment, and then lurked back into the body.

The Great Freedom Demon at the side saw that the remnant of the Bashe actually appeared on his own initiative, and suddenly thought of Zhang Chen's evil trick, so he asked Zhang Chen tentatively: "Did you send your mark into its soul?"

"Of course." Zhang Chen replied, "You can find out this?"

"I have observed everything in the scene and I guess that only your method can make the remnant of the python react." At this point, the Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen with a little hesitation, and after a few breaths, he said: "Do you know the true function of your mark?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen heard that the words of the Great Freedom Demon seemed to have a hidden meaning, so he asked.

The Great Freedom Demon said: "Although your mark can mark and control the souls of those who have died, it can also fix the essence of those incomplete and dissipating souls, so that their souls can stop dissipating and enter an immortal state, thus giving them hope of resurrection."

As if afraid that Zhang Chen didn't understand the meaning of his words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "For example, the remains of the python in front of us are nothing more than a remnant thought, not even a remnant soul. It is just a thought left after the python died. It can only harm people by instinct. Even if it swallowed everyone, it is just a lingering breath and lives for a while longer. There is simply not enough energy to revive it. But with your mark, the python's thought has a support. As long as your mark is not destroyed, the python's remnant will not die. He can continue to practice and grow stronger, summon the origin that dissipated in time and space to come back, and finally gather a complete soul to revive again."

"My soul mark has this ability? Doesn't it mean that as long as I am not dead, the existence marked by me will also be immortal forever?" Zhang Chen asked in astonishment.

You have to know that his soul marking skill is a truly heaven-defying method. As long as he doesn't die, the soul mark will never collapse. Doesn't that mean that the other party will be immortal?

"That's the theory." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully: "It seems that my soul marking skill should be upgraded. If I can control a group of Dao Fruit-level beings as my subordinates, wouldn't I be able to kill gods and Buddhas in the future?"

Zhang Chen had a bold idea in his mind.

The Great Freedom Demon seemed to have seen through Zhang Chen's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little numb. There were countless beings who died in the catastrophe of the end of the law. If this kid could achieve his goal, wouldn't he be invincible in the world in the future? Who could be his opponent?

"Kill!"

At this moment, the shouting and screaming awakened Zhang Chen. A familiar scream was heard. Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xie Lingyun in iron armor, fighting with someone with a sword in his hand.

At this moment, a dagger actually pierced into Xie Lingyun's left leg joint through the gap in the armor, causing Xie Lingyun's movements to suddenly become distorted.

The one fighting with Xie Lingyun was the armored warrior who was protecting her.

The original guardian, under the influence of the Bashen spirit, turned directly into a deadly killer. Those armored warriors not only hunted down Xie Lingyun, but also constantly killed each other.

Seeing that Xie Lingyun was in danger, Zhang Chen's face changed involuntarily, and he rushed into the crowd without thinking.

"You don't want to live anymore! For you right now, running away is the best option. Otherwise, your spirit will be infected by the aura of the python later, and you will join the battle until you die in battle and become the python's nourishment." The Great Freedom Demon saw that Zhang Chen actually took the initiative to rush towards Xie Lingyun, and his voice was full of shock.

"Xie Lingyun cannot die! Xie Lingyun is my biggest supporter now. If Xie Lingyun dies, I am afraid I can't stay in Huangli Temple anymore, and Zhang Xiaohua will never let me go." Zhang Chen took firm steps, with golden light flowing around his body, protecting him tightly.

Along with the emergence of the golden light of the righteous god, Zhang Chen could sense that there was a strange power fluctuation in the void, which was eroding his own golden light of the righteous god. That power was like poison. Even though the golden light of the righteous god could restrain all heresies, it was still powerless facing this power. Although it delayed the invasion of that power, it would eventually be destroyed.

"Is it true that the golden light of the righteous god can't do anything to that power?" Zhang Chen felt a little disappointed, but he was not afraid because he had been prepared.

The soul-stealing skill was activated, and the world in front of Zhang Chen turned into black and white. A chain emerged. The chain was pitch black and engraved with mysterious runes. One end was connected to Zhang Chen, and the other end was connected to the body of the python opposite.

Zhang Chen stood in the black and white world. He grasped the chain with his hands and pulled it hard. He felt that the chain seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. It was very slow to pull it, but he finally pulled it.

Then, Zhang Chen pulled the remaining trace of the python's soul out of its body.

Iron Rule of Soul-Snatching: As long as the skill is activated, the opponent will not be able to harm Zhang Chen.

The gray mist was circling in front of Zhang Chen at this time, and a pair of green eyes kept fluctuating, obviously very angry. It even roared at Zhang Chen, and the roars were like the buzzing of snakes, doing nothing to conceal the anger in its heart.

It’s a pity that he is just a remnant soul. How could Zhang Chen be afraid of him?
The snake bit Zhang Chen with a bite that seemed to be able to devour everything in the world, as if it wanted to drag Zhang Chen's soul out of its body. However, just when it got three feet away from Zhang Chen, the law of cause and effect took effect, and the snake's soul attack was dissipated by a mysterious force.

Seeing this scene, the Great Freedom Demon at the side couldn't help but twitch his mouth, his eyes full of helplessness: "What kind of damn magical power is this? It's totally unreasonable!"

How similar was this scene to when he was sealed? He was controlled by Zhang Chen in the same way.

"How dare a mere remnant soul act so presumptuously in front of me?" Zhang Chen sneered, then ignored the remnant soul of the Basah Snake and looked at Xie Lingyun who was in danger in the distance.

Although the soul of the Basher was extracted, so that the soul of the Basher could not harm Zhang Chen, it did not prevent the soul of the Basher from using its means to confuse everyone.

"As long as I can immobilize Xie Lingyun, and then use the invisibility talisman to bring her out, the job will be done." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen walked towards Xie Lingyun leisurely in the chaotic battlefield.

When everyone was an ordinary person, Zhang Chen's invisibility skills were exceptionally powerful, and everyone turned a blind eye to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen avoided the fighting among the crowd along the way. When he came in front of Xie Lingyun, Xie Lingyun had new wounds on his body. There was even blood stains on his throat and blood was flowing from a knife wound. It was just that the knife was not strong enough and did not cut Xie Lingyun's throat. Otherwise, Xie Lingyun would have been beyond saving.

The immobilization talisman and the invisibility talisman appeared in Zhang Chen's hand at the same time. He came behind Xie Lingyun. Without waiting for Xie Lingyun to react, he stuck to her directly, then held Xie Lingyun in his arms and narrowly avoided the three big swords that were chopped at him from the opposite side.

The remnant of the snake looked at Zhang Chen, then looked at Xie Lingyun beside him. A hint of cruelty appeared in its pair of green eyes, and the next moment it bit directly towards Xie Lingyun.

You little brat! I can't handle you, but can I handle this girl?
Zhang Chen remained calm upon seeing this, waved his robe, and took Xie Lingyun in.

In ancient times, clothes were relatively loose, so after unbuttoning the robe, it was not difficult to cover a person with it.

Xie Lingyun was wrapped in clothes by Zhang Chen on his chest. Sure enough, the law of cause and effect changed. When the soul of the python approached Zhang Chen, it went straight through Zhang Chen's body.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~" The python was so angry that it kept exhaling and circling around Zhang Chen, but it could not do anything to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at the Basque snake with a smug look on his face, then turned his head to look at the snake eggs on the Basque snake's body. With a hint of excitement in his eyes, he directly picked up Xie Lingyun and rushed towards the direction of the Basque snake's body.

When Bashe saw Zhang Chen's actions, he suddenly had a bad feeling for some reason and wanted to stop Zhang Chen, but he had no way to do so.

Zhang Chen came to the front of the Basilisk, looking at the red snake eggs that looked like apricots, with greed in his eyes. The snake eggs were hanging high above, and it was not convenient for Zhang Chen to climb the tree while holding Xie Lingyun. Fortunately, the mouthparts of the innate mosquito have the function of stretching. The mouthparts of the innate mosquito appeared directly in Zhang Chen's hand and stabbed towards one of the snake eggs.

With one thrust, the endless essence was absorbed and poured into Zhang Chen's body.

Although the egg of the basset snake is small and looks only the size of an apricot, the essence inside it is as vast as the ocean, pouring madly into Zhang Chen's body.

After seeing Zhang Chen's methods, Bashe Cannian, who was standing by, finally understood what this damn two-legged beast wanted to do, and he couldn't help but be horrified.

Fortunately, there is a countermeasure for every policy. Seeing that he could not stop Zhang Chen from devouring the fetus and egg, Bashe also thought of a way to resolve the crisis. As he thought about it, changes occurred in the field again.
