"Ye Lin, do you feel like something is wrong around us?"
As they walked, Stealing Heaven suddenly came back to his senses and asked Ye Lin.
The next moment, his expression froze.
Unbeknownst to them, they had been surrounded by various translucent figures standing all around them.
There were Yao Race, Human Race, Stone Race, Shadow Clan, and Shura Clan.
In short, Divine Souls or ghosts from all major races were present.
At this moment, these ghosts were staring at the two of them with ferocious expressions, and in the distance, a Nascent Soul Realm ghost was intently watching Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven.
This Nascent Soul Realm ghost was from the Yao Race.
"Human Race? This is the Yao Race territory. How did you Human Race get in here? Report truthfully, otherwise, I will make you taste the most painful torture in the world."
This Yao Race Immortal Master looked at Ye Lin and Stealing Heaven, his tone chilling.
Upon hearing this, Stealing Heaven was full of shock, looking at the figure in the sky with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Besides Combined Dao Stage True Lords who remain rational after their demise due to the protection of Dao Rhyme, how could you still maintain your rationality?"
Stealing Heaven asked.
Any ghost that steps into the Dark Forest, if it is below the Golden Core Stage, will instantly turn into a thoughtless ghost; they only know how to kill and remember nothing from their past lives.
A Golden Core Stage ghost can last for three days, a Nascent Soul Stage ghost for one year, a Soul Transformation Stage ghost for ten years, while a Combined Dao Stage True Lord has no time limit.
This was why Stealing Heaven was so shocked; although the Dark Forest was continuously absorbing newly deceased ghosts, the Yao Race, in order not to strengthen the Dark Forest's power,
sent several Soul Transformation Stage True Persons to guard a thousand miles outside the Dark Forest, precisely to prevent the Divine Souls of any Soul Transformation Stage True Persons from entering it.
If I can't destroy you, then I will prevent you from developing.
After all, after the saying that 'as long as one's Divine Soul enters the Dark Forest, one can exist forever' spread, many Cultivators came to try their luck.
After their demise, their Divine Souls would come to the Dark Forest, attempting to find the secret of eternal life.
Seeing the increasing number of Divine Souls in the Dark Forest, even if their intelligence was eroded, these Divine Souls retained their combat power from when they were alive.
No one knew how many Cultivators died in East Continent each year, but it was certainly not a small number.
Even if only one-thousandth of the Divine Souls entered the Dark Forest in a year, over time, the accumulated power would be considerable.
Therefore, the Yao Race could not sit still and acted in this manner.
Otherwise, if the Dark Forest continued to grow and eventually started a war, the Yao Race was unwilling to see such a thing happen.
Thus, under the suppression of the Yao Race, no Divine Soul of a Soul Transformation Stage True Person had entered the Dark Forest for a thousand years.
And the ghost before them at this moment was what most shocked Stealing Heaven.
"Oh? It seems you, young man, know something. Take him away and bring him back for a thorough interrogation."
The Yao Race Immortal Master said with a cold expression, then the densely packed ghosts around them began to rapidly approach the two.
Their strength ranged from Nascent Soul Stage to Qi Training Stage, but there were no more than ten with Nascent Soul Stage strength.
"Sword One, Sword Slashes the Firmament."
Ye Lin slowly raised the Evil Slayer in his hand, his body enveloped in Sword Qi, and the next moment, a terrifyingly powerful sword light swept across the surroundings.
The densely packed ghosts from before were instantly cleared out.
Ye Lin's single sword strike was enough to make their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, not even leaving them the qualification to exist in this world.
