In the legends of his past life, similar to the use of Soul Pearls, it was said that energy entities could enhance certain characteristics of an evolver.
Some claimed they could increase mental strength, others said they could boost skill power, increase the total elemental capacity, and there were even claims that they could add an additional method of attack.
Given Ye Zhongming’s status in his previous life, he naturally did not know which of these claims were true, which is why he wanted to give it a try.
Of course, this was based on his strong confidence in his own abilities. Otherwise, the bizarre nature of these energy entities, which could attack human nerves, would be terrifying for any evolver.
Looking at the evolvers being besieged, it was clear why they were so panicked — they had obviously experienced the power of such beings.
As Ye Zhongming was contemplating, a male evolver accidentally stepped out of formation, and immediately an energy entity seized the opportunity, almost invisible except for a faint shadow, rushing into this man's body.
Despite him already being a four-star evolver, he could not withstand it; his body shook violently, and all his movements ceased.
Afterward, his eyes turned pitch black, and the weapon in his hand suddenly swung towards his nearby companion.
These events unfolded in a very short span of time. The companions on both sides were focused on dealing with the energy entities and did not initially notice.
When the blade light appeared, it was already too late. The evolver who was hit let out a terrible scream as he was sliced from the left side of his neck to his right rib.
"Kill him!"
A voice filled with grief and anger sounded out. On the other side, an evolver thrust his spear into the chest of the human controlled by the energy entity. When he pulled it out, a large amount of blood poured out, along with an increasingly dense shadow.
These energy entities had no physical form and were immune to physical attacks, but once they entered a human body, they became more susceptible to damage. If they did not exit the body before the human died, they would die alongside them.
This energy entity clearly did not have time to exit. After its form appeared in the outside world, its color deepened, ultimately turning fiery red before exploding into nothingness.
This chaos caused the formation of all the humans to collapse, giving the energy entities the opportunity to break through the defenses and flood in.
In an instant, the entire tunnel was filled with chilling winds and brilliant lights.
Humans completely ignored cooling or mental strength, attacking the shadows rushing at them with various skills.
Ye Zhongming took a step forward and then stopped, tilting his head to look in one direction. The earth sand moon blade appeared in his hand, and he lightly slashed in that direction.
A blade radiance swept past, cutting through a treacherous energy entity that was trying to attack Ye Zhongming.
The blade radiance was a pure energy attack.
Feeling the dissipating energy, Ye Zhongming sheathed his war knife and remained still for a moment, until, in an instant, his right hand, clad in a fist glove, suddenly raised, reaching for a spot.
There, an energy entity was lunging at him like a soul.
Fearing that he might disperse this energy, Ye Zhongming did not activate the ability of the fist glove, but he found that the energy entity actually passed through his fist and lunged toward his body.
If Ye Zhongming were merely a four-star or five-star evolver, this energy entity would have succeeded. However, he was a genuine powerhouse whose real strength was infinitely close to eight stars, and upon realizing something was wrong, his arm immediately retracted.
Yet Ye Zhongming did not know how to subdue these energy entities; he could only keep experimenting. Now that the situation was urgent, since he could not capture it merely with the fist glove, in a moment of enlightenment, Ye Zhongming instinctively activated the great thousand soul refining technique.
