Chapter 779  Towards the Cosmic Vestige of Taurus! (4)

The pitch-black darkness didn't affect Jacob's vision, as he could clearly see everything. However, as he went deeper, Jacob felt the gravity in this place becoming stronger, and a strange mist filled with a potent toxin appeared.

Yet Jacob's footsteps never came to a halt until he saw a flash of enteral light suddenly bolting past him. He instantly stopped and looked around, and his golden white flame eyes started to turn golden entirely.

'What are those?' Jacob was surprised to see many white blobs of different sizes hiding in the dark trees' crowns, and black particles were emitting from them.

Furthermore, upon observing them, Jacob saw that those white blobs were moving and that more were gathering around him. 'Are they some living creatures?' Jacob wondered, but since he didn't feel any danger from them, he decided to ignore them and start moving again, this time using his full speed.

Jacob almost became a streak when he moved at his current full speed, and he could cover miles within a second, almost like teleportation. His physical prowess was simply too shocking after completing the second phase, and he was still not using his entire power and abilities.

But what surprised Jacob was that those white blobs were keeping up with him and following him like the plague, and more and more were gathering as he moved deeper into this strange forest.

At this moment, Jacob noticed that wavelengths of the dark particles around those blobs were trembling as if they were agitating and restless the deeper they went and followed the legendary key. After some time passed, he noticed those small blobs suddenly started to congregate and merge together, incorporating into the massive, ethereal white entity. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even without the Eyes of Judge, he was able to see a white ethereal cloud gathering in the sky. At this moment, Jacob finally felt a powerful soul force gathering within this incorporated mass.

Although it wasn't dangerous, this thing, whatever it was, was following him relentlessly, and he couldn't shake it off.

Jacob decided to summon Immortika before he suffered from his own arrogance, and this thing became truly dangerous.

"What is that thing?"

"Oh, they are the Ghost Residues of Burmis Ghost Trees around you. They usually eat on people's emotions sneakily without the victim even realizing it until they turn into empty husks, and only people with special visions can see them. powerful souls are the only way to counter them.

"But you are now immune to these tricks. Yet your soul signature is unique, and since you don't know how to keep it hidden yet, those Ghost Residues will see you as an extremely rare delicacy. They are even willing to incorporate with each other to feed on your soul, which is a very rare behavior in Burmis Ghost Trees. You can say you have hungry ghosts after you, hehehe…"

Jacob simply ignored the last part, and he became serious as he watched that massive cloud of Ghost Residues continue to grow, and the strange soul force they were releasing was becoming stronger.

"Are they any threat, and how should I deal with them? How do you kill a ghost?"

"They are indeed a threat if you let them continue to grow. This place has millions of Burmis Ghost Trees, and they have also started to notice you. But the time required until they become a true threat to you is still quite far. As for how to deal with them, didn't I say only powerful souls are capable of handling them? But the matter of regretting killing the Ghost Race is entirely different, and we'll talk about it when you encounter that species of Dark Being. Nevertheless, It'll be quite entertaining, hahaha…"

Jacob's eyes flickered continuously when he heard Immortika's explanation, and he was little revealed, knowing that they required time to become a threat to him. But he was still quite shocked, knowing that this kind of tree could become a threat to even a fabled legendary state ranker.

After thinking about it, Jacob decided not to take action and continued forward. He knew that even if he used his soul force to get rid of those Ghost Residues, there would be more and more, which would only delay him further. After all, killing millions of Ghost Residues didn't sound like a simple process, and he was not willing to tire himself out.

Just like that, the white cloud relentlessly followed Jacob as he followed the direction of the legendary key. Jacob could feel the gravity becoming stronger while the cloud of Ghost Residues also tried to inflict its soul force on him, but both were useless in slowing him down. At this moment, Jacob noticed something ahead while the legendary key in his hand glowed even brighter. A few miles ahead of him was a structure illuminated under a starry light, and the cloud of Ghost Residues behind him suddenly stopped following him as well!

Jacob was surprised when he noticed the soul force on him suddenly vanished, and the cloud of Ghost Residues behind him instantly retreated as if they had encountered a terrible enemy. They were clearly very afraid of that struck in starry light.

This action of Ghost Residues also made Jacob vigilant. He slowed his speed as he approached the clearly ahead.

Looking at the brightly lit legendary key, Jacob mused, 'Could it be I reached the place where the cosmic vestige is located?'

This was the only explanation he could think of, but he didn't move hastily. When he reached the clearing, he looked around for any danger, but there was nothing there, and his eyes did not show him anything out of the ordinary except that starry light.

Jacob finally looked towards the structure under the starry light. It was a high tower reaching all the way to the neon sky. Its walls were emerald, and under the starry light, they seemed to glow like a starry sky.

Furthermore, there was only a single entrance, a massive black arc door, and Jacob instantly noticed the glowing symbol at the top of this door. It was the symbol of the Taurus Constellation, matching the symbol glowing intently in the legendary key.

Jacob knew he had reached his destination!
