The human skin had moved so suddenly it completely caught Xiang Shaoyun by surprise . Xiang Shaoyun had not expected it at all . Just as the skin was about to wrap itself around him, a green flash streaked through the air .
Swish!
The green sword energy lashed out and slowed the skin's advance, giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to retreat .
"What the hell is that?" shouted Xiang Shaoyun after he pulled a safe distance between him and the skin . Not far from him, the skin hovered in the air and assumed the form of a face baring its fangs . It drifted in the air at a high speed that made it hard for one to catch .
Dong Zi's attack hadn't damaged the skin at all . Instead, Dong Zi was now the skin's new target . The skin pounced Dong Zi while making an odd, sinister sound that made one's hair stand on end .
Dong Zi waved her sword around repeatedly, sending slash after slash toward the skin . As for Xiang Shaoyun, he stopped blanking out, and he yelled and swung his saber at the skin . Unfortunately, the skin was even faster than him, causing his attack to hit thin air .

Similarly, the skin avoided all of Dong Zi's attacks . It was even able to slip between her attacks and shoot straight toward her like a sharp blade . She immediately released a massive amount of outer energy, thinking she could use it to block the attack . Unfortunately, the skin's attack was sharp enough to penetrate the layer of energy .
Clang!
Fortunately, Dong Zi was wearing king-grade armor that managed to block the attack . Otherwise, that attack would have killed her then and there . Even so, the impact of the collision still sent her flying . The strength behind the attack was evident .
At this time, Xiang Shaoyun had also joined the battle . With the presence of dragon and tiger orbiting his body, a radiant purple energy surged out as he slashed the skin with his saber . The lightning-powered attack was quick and violent, immediately striking the skin .
As the attack was powered by the innate purple lightning, it was incredibly destructive . Not even the skin could resist the attack, and it collapsed weakly to the ground . Xiang Shaoyun thought that the skin would be completely helpless after that, but as soon as the skin landed, it darted straight toward his legs .
Instead of jumping to avoid the attack, Xiang Shaoyun stared at the skin and tightened his hold of the saber before stabbing down . With his remarkable eyesight, he was able to clearly see the trajectory of the skin . Otherwise, he would not have had the guts to make such a risky move .
The skin was thus impaled to the ground . Just as Xiang Shaoyun thought everything was over, something shot toward him from beneath the skin . The thing flying toward him was pitch-black and as small as a fly . It flew at an extremely fast speed and entered Xiang Shaoyun's nostril in the blink of an eye, greatly alarming him .

He instantly gathered all his power to his nose, trying to force the thing out . Unfortunately, the thing seemed to be incredibly familiar with the human body, and it was able to quickly fly into the space in Xiang Shaoyun's head .
Xiang Shaoyun couldn't exactly attack the space in his head as that was where his soul resided . When he looked at the space within his head with his inner gaze, he saw a pitch-black bug trying to bite at the insides of his head . If he allowed the bug to do so, it would be the end of him .
"Freeze!" During this critical moment, Xiang Shaoyun activated the Nether Soul Domain within his head .
Xiang Shaoyun had only heard of the Nether Soul Domain from the white tiger . In truth, he had no idea what it was . The only thing he knew was that it was an extremely extraordinary ability . Once again, the Nether Soul Domain saved his life .
The prison of boundless darkness trapped the bug, stopping it from devouring the insides of Xiang Shaoyun's head . The bug instantly became anxious . It cried repeatedly, biting at the darkness around it . Alas, its struggle was pointless . Seeing that the bug was finally unable to do anything, Xiang Shaoyun heaved a sigh of relief .
"What the hell is this?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered as he started studying the bug .
From his observation, the bug had a sinister appearance . It had two tiny fangs shaped like pincers . It also had four eyes arranged in a row, and its entire body was filled with blisters, looking incredibly disgusting .

"Wait, is this a brain devouring bug?" Xiang Shaoyun shivered .
The so-called brain devouring bug was a horrifying poisonous being . Its favorite food was the human brain and soul . The moment it set its eyes on someone, unless killed, it would not stop until it completely devoured its target's brain . The bug normally resided in places heavy in yin, which generally had a large number of corpses . Since there were so many corpses here, it wasn't surprising that there was such a bug here .
"Die!" Without any hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun immediately crushed the bug to death with his Nether Soul Domain .
The space started closing in on the bug, trying to crush it to death . But as soon as the bug was killed, a strand of dark green energy spread out from the bug . What was odd was the fact that the Nether Soul Domain automatically absorbed it .
After absorbing the dark green energy, the Nether Soul Domain suddenly changed . The space it occupied became even larger . At the same time, it shared the growth with Xiang Shaoyun's soul, causing his soul to grow rapidly as well .
A human had three ethereal souls and seven corporeal souls . The growth of one's soul was equivalent to the growth of one's spirit—the expansion of one's wisdom—which was extremely important for any person .
There was a saying that a person with a big brain was a smart person . There was some sort of truth in that, as the soul resided in a person's head . The stronger the soul was, the clearer a person's mind would be .
Xiang Shaoyun was quite surprised to find that both the Nether Soul Domain and his soul had benefited from this . He also had a vague sensation that he had changed somewhat, although he couldn't pinpoint exactly what that change was . In any case, he could sense that it was a good change .
"Are you ok?" Dong Zi's voice pulled Xiang Shaoyun back to reality .
Xiang Shaoyun smiled . "Hehe, I'm fine . I'm doing very well . "
"Oh, good . Come on, let's see what's up with the skin," Dong Zi said .
Xiang Shaoyun nodded and lifted the skin with his saber . Dong Zi noiselessly stepped away from the skin, as she was afraid the skin would suddenly attack again . As Xiang Shaoyun knew that the bug had already been killed, he was aware that the skin would not be attacking anymore .
He held the skin in his hand, sensing how tough it was . He was fascinated to discover that there were some ancient writings on the skin . It was at this time that a group of people had arrived outside the cave .
