[Item Name]: Thousand-Year Locust Tree Soul-Box
[Description]: A soul-box made from the core of a thousand-year-old locust tree demon. The craftsmanship is exquisite.
[Effect]: Can store souls and soul fragments, and can also nourish the souls and soul fragments within.
[Restriction]: Cannot store souls of the Archon level.
The attributes of this treasure.
It couldn't store an Archon-level soul.
But it might be able to contain the soul of the Yaksha Bosacius.
Xiao looked at the treasure in Su Han's hand, a flash of excitement in his eyes. He looked up and stared at him seriously.
"Thank you. If you need anything, please tell me."
"Mm. Let's find him first. Although it's just a resentful remnant soul, I think… as long as there are soul fragments, he can eventually be restored."
The Locust Tree Soul-Box.
It possessed the ability to nourish the soul.
As long as Bosacius's will was firm, he could definitely be revived.
Rosalyne looked at the treasure and asked doubtfully, "I heard you say before that the former Raiden Shogun has not completely disappeared. Why don't you go and save her?"
"The level of this wooden box is limited; it cannot contain an existence of the Archon level. Otherwise… I would have given it to Yae Miko long ago. Let's go. The battle ahead probably won't be so simple."
The closer they got to the center, the more vengeful spirits there were. Some were the souls of Millelith soldiers, others were bizarre monsters. In short, they were very troublesome. Having been corroded by the power of the Abyss for a long time, no matter how firm they were, they would become muddled things.
Sure enough.
When Su Han turned the Fantastic Compass, the group arrived at a red battlefield.
This place was filled with an air of desolation. Although hundreds of years had passed, the ground and the nearby rocks were still filled with a large number of broken weapons.
"How cruel the war was back then… no wonder even the Archons perished. It's truly terrifying."
"It is precisely because of this that the Seven Archons destroyed Khaenri'ah! If the power of the cataclysm descended, the entire world would suffer. The current technology is not developed, and they are afraid of touching that kind of disaster again."
"But even so, there are still people who refuse to give up on researching that power."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Rosalyne couldn't help but sneer.
The power of a Witch. It was a dangerous existence.
Su Han touched her hand and smiled. "We work hard to break through all of this. Since the Archons cannot stop the cataclysm, then we will surpass the Archons."
The current four-star missions had already begun to touch upon the world of Xianxia. If they encountered even higher-level worlds in the future, saving Teyvat might not be impossible. They might even be able to make the world of Teyvat completely stay away from the Abyss!
As everyone was chatting, infinite black qi surged from the ground.
Xiao warned, "Those vengeful spirits are coming! Be careful… the battle is about to begin!"
"Mm. Shenhe… if you find it difficult, unleash the power of the Calamity Queller!"
The Calamity Queller contained the Nüwa Stone. It was very useful against vengeful spirits.
The white-haired woman nodded slightly, indicating that she would be careful.
The moment the vengeful spirits appeared, countless bolts of lightning began to roll.
Bosacius the Yaksha appeared before everyone once again, and this time… his strength was even greater!
"Brother… I will definitely save you!"
Looking at that familiar figure, Xiao took a deep breath and slowly put on his mask.
"I'll handle Bosacius. You go and clear out the vengeful spirits. Don't let them disturb me!"
"Okay."
The storm rose. Xiao began to fight.
And around Su Han's body, countless bright chains appeared.
"Chains of Heaven!"
Swish.
Countless chains flew towards Bosacius, but the latter's body quickly faded and disappeared.
The Chains of Heaven missed.
However, Su Han was not anxious. In his vision, Bosacius had already hidden in the space, preparing to ambush him.
When the Chains of Heaven returned, a purple rift appeared above Su Han's head.
"Trying to turn into my family to torture me again? A monster like you… should die!"
Purple lightning transformed into a vajra pestle, crashing down towards the enemy's head.
But at this moment, countless chains appeared nimbly from all directions, directly binding Bosacius firmly.
"Such deep resentment. He is burdened with karma, yet he is still thinking for others."
"Bosacius… let me purify your resentment!"
In the golden flames, a purple light flashed.
Sizzle.
When the combination of the Pure Yang True Fire and the Purification Power landed on Bosacius's body, countless streams of black qi erupted from within him.
Rolling black smoke poured out continuously. It was hard to imagine just how much sin was inside him.
One minute.
Two minutes.
A full ten minutes.
It wasn't until Su Han felt a little tired that Bosacius's body slowly returned to normal. However, his body was now nearly transparent.
The mask on his face slowly shattered.
He had finally regained his clarity.
Bosacius looked at himself, imprisoned by chains, and gave a bitter smile. "Is that… Boyang? Brother… I lost control again… I'm so sorry. Truly, so sorry."
"No… my name is Su Han. I have come to take you home."
A man appeared before him. The other party's body shone with a clear aura, making Bosacius's remnant soul a little clearer.
"Home? Ah… do I… still have a home? My two sisters and one brother are all dead."
"If I go back in this sorry state… I'm afraid he will laugh at me again."
The Yaksha's low voice made Yelan and Yanfei shed tears.
Born as a Yaksha. Protecting Liyue. After death, falling to such a state, being purified and regaining clarity, yet afraid that his brother would look down on him. What a gentle person.
Xiao slowly walked over, the weapon in his hand falling to the ground.
"Big Brother…"
Even he, who had been incomparably cold for a thousand years, could no longer hold back. Looking at his big brother, his eyes were filled with hot tears.
He was always so gentle.
"Brother… it's you… Xiao… why are you crying? I must be dreaming again."
"Big Brother is already running out of time. To see you cry in these final moments… it's worth it."
"It's just a pity I can't see the other three… quite a pity."
Looking at Bosacius, whose aura was constantly declining, Su Han began to inject power into the Thousand-Year Locust Tree Soul-Box.
A crystal-clear light illuminated the entire space.
"Go!"
Su Han controlled the soul-box and began to absorb Bosacius's soul. The Yaksha, who had been about to dissipate, was involuntarily sucked inside.
And at this time, drawn by the main soul, the other soul fragments in the ground also floated out one after another.
There were three pieces in total. They were all images of filth, wearing Yaksha masks.
However, with the scene just now, Su Han already knew how to handle them. Purify first… then activate the soul-box to absorb.
An hour later, Bosacius's soul fragments were sleeping within the soul-box.
Su Han wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We should prepare to leave… Yelan, did you find those letters?"
"I found them… they are all things left behind by my ancestor." She waved the letter in her hand. The mission was complete.
Yanfei asked, "How do we leave?"
"Simple… just use the Fantastic Compass on the ground. However… you'd best be prepared! When we finally leave, the Abyss will counter-attack."
Su Han reminded everyone. Finally, he turned the compass, aligning the needle with the final space.
When the group arrived here, the surroundings were full of starry sky. There was nothing. Only a compass lying on the ground.
Rosalyne looked up at the sky, a knowing expression on her face. It seems Scaramouche's guess was right. The sky is indeed fake.
Shenhe frowned. "The Abyssal aura nearby is very thick."
"Mm, because this is the place closest to the Abyss. Alright… we should leave! Yelan and Yanfei, come and activate the magical artifact together."
"Yes!"
With the order and the injection of energy, the Fantastic Compass transformed into a giant platform, carrying the group away quickly.
And at this moment, Yelan and the others discovered that aside from the space beneath their feet, the surroundings were actually a terrifying darkness.
And in that darkness, countless vengeful spirits were chasing them.
Yanfei's scalp tingled. If they fell, they would probably be completely destroyed.
Because of Su Han's intervention, Xiao's internal energy was very abundant, and with the nourishment of the Dragon Veins, his strength had also increased a lot. So, he quickly broke through the shackles and arrived at the upper layer of The Chasm.
And at this time, Su Han discovered that the power of the Abyss had all been blocked by a mysterious force. It did not chase them out.
"Phew… finally out. What a dangerous place. The message inside said they found a way to deal with the monsters. I wonder what it is." Yelan held the letter, still feeling a little regretful. If she could understand these secrets, perhaps facing the monsters wouldn't be so difficult.
But Su Han said, "Actually, the secret is very simple… The monsters only know slaughter and destruction, but they won't kill their own kind. And inside that space, time is accelerated. We stayed for two hours, but in reality, a day has passed. And the space is deceptive. It can trap the monsters forever. Slowly, they will kill each other… until they are extinct."
"Th-this is a bit too terrifying. I feel like this method of killing monsters is very dangerous." Yanfei couldn't help but draw in a cold breath. Using this method to kill monsters, one's own people would also die.
Rosalyne said, "So, in the end, the Yaksha didn't leave either, because if he left… the monsters would also chase him out. This is a method of mutual destruction. Not a power that truly slays the calamity."
"Yes. Let's go back first. The nourishment of the soul… will take some time."
After checking that there were no problems with the Dragon Veins, Su Han prepared to return.
