“Of course, apart from your aura, your hair, blood, smell, and so on can also be a medium for divination for them. It’s just that relatively speaking, your aura is the easiest to capture. If I’m not wrong, they should have already set up a special domain in this area. All living beings who enter this area will have their aura seized by the domain.
“This is a common method used by these guys from the Temple of Prayer. In that case, once you enter this area, they can instantly divine you through your aura.”
Barbarian Ghost’s voice was heavy. He knew that Xiao Shi’s current situation was very bad. The Temple of Prayer had always been famous for seizing auras. Apart from domains, they also had various methods to capture auras.
Once his aura fell into their hands, they could use divination, curses, and other methods.
“I got it.” Xiao Shi nodded. He left the dream world. Not only did he not feel heavy, but he also felt that if it was an aura, things would be very easy.
A pitch-black mask instantly appeared on his face.
It was the Martial Emperor’s Mask!
Under the effect of the Martial Emperor’s Mask, he instantly restrained all his aura, not letting a trace of it leak out. Then, his figure moved. He stepped into the area ahead.
The moment he entered this area, Xiao Shi clearly sensed the abnormality in this area. Although there was no difference on the surface, there was an imperceptible suction force coming from the ground. They must have used this suction force to absorb the aura of all the living beings who entered this area.
As long as it was a living being, it would emit an aura. Especially the stronger a lifeform was, the thicker their aura would be. Even if he deliberately restrained his aura, it was difficult for him to conceal it completely.
Only a high-level treasure like the Martial Emperor’s Mask could do it.
Under the effect of the Martial Emperor’s Mask, Xiao Shi’s aura was restrained to the extreme. No matter how much the domains in this area absorbed, they could not extract any aura from him.
“If the Temple of Prayer mainly uses the aura of others to fight enemies, then
1, who have the Martial Emperor’s Mask, am the greatest nemesis of the Temple of Prayer.”
Xiao Shi quickly shuttled through this area. After ensuring that his aura would not leak out, he was even more relaxed than when he faced those people from the Ancient Nether Sect. After all, the people from the Temple of Prayer had their eyes closed. They sat motionless and did not spread their spiritual senses.
It was very easy to avoid them.
Xiao Shi left this area without any pressure. It had to be said that the inescapable net set up by the Ancient Nether Sect and the Temple of Prayer this time could indeed make it difficult for ordinary people to escape this huge net.
Xiao Shi did not feel any pressure.
When Xiao Shi left this area and advanced for a distance again, he suddenly frowned. A huge canyon appeared in front of him. There was only one path in the entire canyon. On the way into the canyon, there was a person from the Temple of Prayer sitting quietly.
“There’s actually someone guarding it!” Xiao Shi was very surprised. Now, he had long left the search area of the Temple of Prayer. This person stayed behind to guard this place. It was probably to prevent any fish from escaping.
After all, this canyon was the only way to leave this place. As long as they guarded this place, even if there were any fish that escaped the net, they would be blocked in this area.
From the terrain here, Xiao Shi could not find a way to avoid the other party. There was only one way to pass through this place. That was to step over the other party’s corpse.
Due to the difference in the cultivation system of these people from the Temple of Prayer, even if Xiao Shi sensed the other party in advance with his spiritual sense, he could not tell the other party’s exact strength and cultivation.
For this person to be able to stay here, his strength must be extraordinary. It was very likely that he was an existence comparable to a Martial Demon Realm expert.
“With my current strength, 1 definitely have no chance of winning if 1 fight a Martial Demon Realm expert head-on.”
Xiao Shi felt that he was facing a Martial Soul Realm expert. There were only two ways to defeat the strong. The first was to release the Youyue Spirits that he had obtained from the upper echelons of the Gen Mountain Sect in the Illusionary World.
Although these Youyue Spirits would be greatly reduced in the current era and their existence would be very short, it was Xiao Shi’s best weapon when facing a Martial Demon Realm expert.
Secondly, he could inject the Youyue Spirits into the corpse of the Evil and revive him. This way, he could save Youyue Spirits. After all, he only needed to inject one Youyue Spirit into the corpse of the Evil. However, if he released the Youyue Spirits to fight, it was very likely that he would not only release a Youyue Spirit.
Or he could inject the Youyue Spirit into the corpse and release many Youyue Spirits. However, this was his strongest move and trump card at the moment. He did not want to use it here. If he was facing other Martial Demon Realm experts this time, there was no better way apart from these two methods.
However, since the other party was an expert of the Temple of Prayer, Xiao Shi suddenly had an idea. He felt that this idea might be more suitable than these two methods.
Xiao Shi’s gaze instantly turned sharp. His body moved. He no longer hid his tracks. He directly rushed towards the experts of the Temple of Prayer who were holding down the canyon.
The one sitting at the entrance of the canyon was an old powerhouse from the Temple of Prayer. The moment Xiao Shi stopped hiding and charged over, his closed eyes suddenly opened.
He looked up. It revealed the ancient eyes under the robe. He stared at Xiao Shi. He was very surprised by this person’s appearance.
Logically speaking, regardless of whether this person was the person who entered the ancient ruins, everyone in this area would be detained by them and would not let these people leave. However, this person had appeared here without anyone knowing.
“Could he be the person who entered the ancient ruins?” The eyes of the powerhouse from the Temple of Prayer instantly became deep. He raised his hand and grabbed at Xiao Shi’s charging body. It directly grabbed Xiao Shi’s aura.
He held Xiao Shi’s aura firmly in his hand. He directly cursed Xiao Shi through his aura. This was the usual method of the Temple of Prayer. They would only seize auras through domains when they couldn’t see the enemy.
If they fought face to face, there were too many ways for them to extract auras. Once his aura fell into their hands, they would face their endless methods. After this expert from the Temple of Prayer seized Xiao Shi’s aura, he immediately began to curse him through Xiao Shi’s aura.
However, the moment he cursed, his expression suddenly changed. “That’s not right! What… what kind of aura is this!!” He suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the other party’s aura.
This aura was extremely shocking! When he cast a curse on this aura, not only did he not succeed, but he also suffered an unprecedented shocking backlash.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood immediately spewed out of his mouth. His face was as pale as paper. His body trembled. A life-saving pendant hanging around his neck had a cracking sound.
It shattered!
Not only that, cracks quickly appeared all over his body, and a large amount of blood continuously flowed out of these cracks, dyeing the ground red.
The old man looked terrified. He knew very well that if not for the pendant on his neck, he would have died now. Such a shocking backlash had never happened in his life. Only by cursing such a supreme existence would one suffer such a terrifying backlash.
But how could the person in front of him be that kind of supreme existence?!
