Chapter 38 Hell Crack
Richard had never expected that he would find a crack leading to hell in the city of Los Angeles.

However, this crack should not be big, otherwise the demons and devils in hell would have run out long ago. Moreover, the breath of hell here is very weak, otherwise, let alone this villa, the breath of hell can infect the entire block.

With this crack in hell, people living here will naturally be infected by the breath of hell. After a long time, they will definitely become crazy, and it is completely normal for homicides to occur.

According to what the tour guide said just now, this villa is a hundred years old, and so many people have died there, the strength of the undead inside should have increased a lot. There have been no reports of any homicides or supernatural events in the surrounding areas, which means that it is an earthbound spirit.

Richard noted the location and planned to come back to check it out in the evening.

After leaving here, Richard continued to ask the taxi to take him to the remaining places. Because of this villa, Richard had more expectations for the remaining places, but the result disappointed him. The remaining places were all ordinary places. Not to mention the Hell Crack, there was not even a Yin Gathering Place.

What surprised him even more was that several places had already been commercialized.
Soon it was night, Richard left his residence and headed straight to the villa he had been in during the day. Los Angeles was very chaotic at night, with many drug addicts on the streets.

Richard quickly arrived at the villa during the day. Compared with the day, the villa at night looked even more eerie and terrifying. The dilapidated villa, the overgrown lawn, and the moldy spots on the walls looked like messy bloodstains under the moonlight.

He waved his hand gently, and the tightly closed door creaked open, raising dust.

At the same time, as the door of the house opened, something seemed to be startled, and the old decorations and dirty ground in front of him disappeared in an instant, replaced by a luxurious hall.

"Finally someone else is here!"

"When was the last time you saw a living person? Five years, or ten years?"

A man suddenly appeared in front of Richard, holding an axe in his hand and looking at him longingly.

"You can't kill anymore. You are a human being, not a devil!" At this moment, the man said, holding his head as if he had schizophrenia.

"Shut up, I am God, not a devil, and all humans are my lambs! Get back here!"

Soon the man recovered, looked at Richard with red eyes, and said with a cruel smile:
"Welcome to my paradise!"

"Heaven? It must be hell!" Richard, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, it's your hell!" The man laughed, "Soon you will be able to feel the passion of hell."

Richard shook his head slightly and said, "I'm going to send you to the real hell right now!"

The raging flames instantly rose up, turning the man into a torch.

"Ah!" The scorching flames made him feel extremely painful, and he instantly turned into a black shadow in an attempt to get rid of it. The shadow was extremely hideous, and although it still maintained a human form, many parts of it had become beastly.

The next second, a roar was heard, and the black shadow separated a layer of shadows on the surface, broke away from the flames, and instantly rushed towards Richard.

——【Undead Immobilization Technique! 】

A ray of light burst out from his staff, and golden runes rose up, instantly disappearing into the black shadow. The black shadow that was rushing over immediately froze in place.

——【Soul Binding Technique!】The golden runes formed golden threads, which quickly woven into a large net, wrapping up the black shadow. The black shadow seemed to sense the danger, and roared with unwillingness. The black shadow struggled desperately to escape, but the seemingly fragile threads did not move at all.

Finally, it was entangled tightly by the golden thread and could no longer move.

The black shadow was suppressed, and Richard discovered that in this demonized dark spirit, there was another figure that was almost identical to it, but this figure had been suppressed by the black shadow.

——【Soul shattered! 】

A bolt of purple lightning instantly hit the black shadow in front of him. The black shadow screamed in pain, but was powerless. Then its original body began to blur and eventually shattered, and countless shadows began to dissipate.

Incomplete and blurry human figures appeared around him. As soon as these ghosts appeared, they began to attack the surroundings and even devoured each other. It was obvious that these residual souls were the people he had killed.

——【Exploding Fire Ring! 】

With Richard as the center, a spherical fire ring instantly exploded in all directions, and the remaining souls screamed and turned into ashes in the flames. A series of tinkling sounds were heard, and a large number of soul crystal fragments fell to the ground.

boom!
The black shadow trapped in the net couldn't bear the pressure, and its black body shattered like a balloon. The black shadow screamed and disappeared, and in its body, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared before his eyes.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly at Richard, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and then turned into countless stars and dissipated in the night wind, and an inaudible thank you also floated away.

After the death of the soul, it is truly dead. They will retain the last bit of spiritual light, return to the source sea, and then be reborn in the source sea, but by that time, he is no longer himself.

Wow.

A purple crystal fell to the floor.

This is the soul crystal that was naturally formed by the soul power of the poor man after he completely died. It is also the thing that the devils and demons are madly pursuing.

Richard waved his hand gently, and the soul crystal fell into his hand. It was a purple-black oval spherical crystal, and the purple-black crystal was surrounded by an ominous aura. He could easily feel the despair, madness, sadness and the final touch of redemption in the soul crystal.

[The struggle between despair and redemption (Advanced Soul Crystal)! ]

If an ordinary person's soul wants to condense a soul crystal of this level, it needs to endure unimaginable hardships. This is why the devil likes to play with souls. However, only a very small number of souls can succeed, and most of them will be shattered into the lowest level soul crystal fragments.

Advanced soul crystals have names, and legendary soul crystals even carry the name of the original owner.

For example, Diablo's Soul Stone. This is a soul crystal left by a demon lord who died in the bloody battle in the abyss. After being obtained by the great arcanists, a Meteor War Golem was made.

It is one of the few strategic-level golems in the entire Supreme Arcane Council Alliance.

As the earthbound spirit died, the environment in front of him shattered like glass, and finally returned to its original state. Richard waved his hand and collected the soul crystal fragments scattered on the ground.

Although these soul crystal fragments are not as good as the one in his hand, they can also be used as spellcasting materials.
