Chapter 391: Star Spirits and Plans

It was not just Galuo and Rael.
Even Lu Ming had to admit that he had underestimated the Desolate Demon Lord and Bai Zhe.
In front of Vicky’s clone, the two of them stood trembling like minions.
That was only because Vicky’s absolute strength far surpassed both of them—it even formed a kind of dimensional suppression effect.
However, when facing Galuo and Rael, the two struck with heavy punches, showing their might. While it was not easy, they had indeed successfully resolved the problem this time.
On the ground, a large number of three-headed monsters that were used as cannon fodder quickly retreated. The Desolate Demon Lord took a deep breath, intending to support Bai Zhe, who had just disappeared, but then he saw the collapse of the ground, and Bai Zhe slowly crawled out from below.
“One got away.”
As Bai Zhe spoke, the Desolate Demon Lord was confused.
“There’s more than one, right? Many of them ran away…” He pointed at the three-headed monsters retreating in the distance, and Bai Zhe, hearing this, did not want to discuss it further.
“Let’s go back to Boshi Tower first.”
Inside Boshi Tower, Lu Ming, Jiu Han, Bai Zhe, and the Desolate Demon Lord sat around. Then Bai Zhe began to speak.
“Star Spirits, a strange race.”
“This race doesn’t have a physical form, they cultivate a power similar to mental power, which they call ‘spirit’.”
In other words, the power of spirit could also be called soul power.
In short, this was a kind of energy distinct from source power and spiritual aura, a unique force in the superhuman system.
“The Star Spirit Race has a very powerful innate ability, which is also possessed by any member of the Star Spirit race.”
“Soul Possession.”
“They can enter other people’s bodies and forcibly occupy them.”
“Due to the fact that there were no methods for cultivating soul power in the Black Mist Zone originally, but the Star Spirit race had such methods. In other words, their soul power far surpasses the majority of people in the Black AAist Zone. Almost no one can resist their possession.”
Other than Bai Zhe.
The seemingly useless soul power forging method that Bai Zhe once researched turned out to be effective at this moment.
“Other than that, the Star Spirit race can’t be harmed by physical attacks, source power, or even spiritual energy. The only thing that can hurt them is soul power—this is also the reason why I couldn’t catch Rael.”
“I don’t not know how to catch…”
“And after being possessed by the Star Spirit Race, the body, strength, and even memories will be inherited by them. They can live outside openly in the identity of the possessed person with almost no flaws.”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Bai Zhe continued, “I have reason to suspect that the Eternal God Lord and even Vicky have been possessed by the Star Spirit Race. It’s not just them; we don’t know how many people above have been possessed.”
“Moreover, from Galuo’s words, I know that this place is not outside the Black Mist Zone, but a place within it called the Source Essence Layer in the Black Mist Zone. The exact location is probably beneath the Dead Sea.”
“And those giant three-headed monsters defeated by the Desolate Demon Lord are called Hunters by them, also serving as backup vessels and biological weapons for these Star Spirit people.”
“Even the Holy Tower and the Heaven Ascension Stairs are related to the Star Spirit Race.”
After saying this, Bai Zhe smacked his lips, expressing regret.
“Unfortunately, my soul power forging method only has the effect of strengthening my soul power. I have no clue how to apply my soul power, and I’m at a loss here. Otherwise, I think 1 could absorb Galuo’s memories and get more information from his mind.”
“Moreover, 1 wanted to hide in the body just now and let Galuo take my body to their headquarters… Unfortunately, that guy was a little greedy and thought too highly of himself…”
“It’s a good thing that we didn’t go to their headquarters.” Lu Ming said, “Although Galuo and Rael are not a big threat to us, who knows if there are stronger and more bizarre guys in their headquarters.”
“I think avoiding their edge for now is a better choice for us.”
After Lu Ming said this, Bai Zhe frowned and said, “However, you can avoid it for a while, but not forever.”
“We’re now trapped in the Origin Essence Layer and have also exposed our location. The Star Spirit Race will definitely not let us off…”
The pursuit would continue until one party died.
With only those people in the Boshi Tower, how long could they hold on??
Bai Zhe felt that Lu Ming was a bit too conservative.
But he did not know that Lu Ming did have his own plans.
He did not hide anything. He knew that hiding and tucking at this moment would only be harmful to themselves, so he directly said.
“Two reasons.”
“First, change the route.”
“Since you also said that the Star Spirit Race might be related to the Heaven Ascension Stairs, aren’t you afraid to confront them head-on with the old divinity?”
Bai Zhe was immediately speechless.
The divinity was bestowed by the Heaven Ascension Stairs, which might be related to the Star Spirit Race. The divinity was like a time bomb, and the detonator of the bomb was most likely in the hands of the Star Spirit Race…
“So, fighting them head-on is not a problem; the problem is fighting them head-on with a bomb.”
“Temporary evading is just to resolve our own hidden danger.”
This reason was actually enough to convince Bai Zhe.
However, Lu Ming had a second reason.
He continued, “I also know that we’re now in the Source Essence Layer, almost equivalent to falling into a dangerous situation. To find a way out, we have to take the risk.”
“However, the Source Essence Layer is so vast, we can’t search around like headless flies.”
The Desolate Demon Lord hurriedly asked, “You mean…”
“It’s still the old divinity.”
“I wonder if you still remember how we came to the Source Essence Layer.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Zhe and Desolate immediately came to a realization.
At that time, they had followed the spiritualized blood pattern in Moon Fiend’s body to reach the Source Essence Layer.
After saying that, Lu Ming turned to look at Jiu Han.
“Teacher’s divinity is about to be obliterated. When the spiritualized blood pattern leaves, we might be able to find something extraordinary by following it.”
With these words, Lu Ming fell silent.
And Desolate and Bai Zhe no longer had any objections.
Lu Ming’s logic was reasonable and well-founded, plainly laid out before them, leaving them no room for rebuttal.
Then Lu Ming added, “First, get away from this place, and then I’ll help you condense a new divinity.”
It would not take too long for the new divinity to condense.
But the removal of the old divinity would take a long time.
“These times are what we need to strive for. So, from now on, we need everyone to work together to get through this difficult situation.”
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, everyone nodded.
After Jiu Han, the second person to undergo divinity rebuilding was Bai Zhe.
During this period, the Desolate Demon Lord would take the Boshi Tower and leave this battlefield.
After Lu Ming made his decision, everyone immediately took action.
Meanwhile, in an unknown place far away, as Rael returned to the Star Spirit tribe’s stronghold, more hunters and three-headed monsters surged out from the depths of the ground, tracing the trajectory of Lu Ming and the others.
In the body of a certain hunter, Rael was surrounded by swirling black mist.
This represented anger and ferocity.
Something seemed to be flickering within his body, and this thing gave him immense confidence.
“Let’s see how you can escape this time!!”
