Where Xao Tao was standing:"Im-impossible! How can he effortlessly release thousands of souls without having his own soul sucked into the banner?! Just how powerful is his Divine Soul!""Bo-boy! Stop! If you keep going, I will be killed! And you will be hunted down by the Patriarch of the Kong Clan!"Yao Chen sneered coldly. "Ever since I arrived in this village, members of the Kong Clan hiding out as wine merchants have already targeted me... My principle is simple: if one comes, kill one; if two come, kill two... If a thousand come, kill them all..."Whoosh!"AARRRRRRGHHHH!"Kong Lei's eyes widened in sheer horror. He was completely paralyzed and unable to move, until—the skin all over his body began to rupture. And finally—BOOOOOOOOM!Kong Lei's body exploded! Even his crimson and bluish soul was sucked directly into the Soul Banner.Then, after all the chaos settled into a heavy silence:Five shadowy figures, none other than Juan Shang and his companions, appeared in the surroun

Thinking it through, forcing his way out would yield no good outcome—especially with the three elders of the Kong clan capable of capturing him at any moment. Yao Chen finally nodded his head slowly, choosing to gamble on his luck."Take me...""Now that's the right choice... Rest assured, if you pass your trial well enough—even meeting the expectations of the Sword God himself—you will hold immense authority in this domain, and anyone will treat you with respect..."WUUUUUUUSH!The man waved his hand, instantaneously transferring their bodies directly in front of an altar situated at the center of a vast square.The place was teeming with young cultivators, each possessing a cultivation level of at least the First Comprehension Immortal God Realm.Glancing toward the glowing pink stone ahead, Yao Chen subtly probed for information in a polite tone."My cultivation is only at the Peak High God Realm, whereas even the lowest outer disciples in this academy are at the Perfect First Comp

"Brother, do you have any acquaintances who can protect him for a few years?""There's no one left... But don't worry, starting today... we will undergo extreme closed-door training... And I will teach the seven enlightenments of the Immortal God stage to everyone in this city. Once our strength is sufficient, we will make our move, because after all... Brother Chen will bound to stop by the sword domain."Shang Guan nodded slowly, though reluctance still lingered in his heart.*At Daluo Sword Academy, the higher-ups, elders, and disciples began keeping their distance. The stakes and rules of the duel had been established. Now, nothing remained but held breath."Are we going to intervene and break the rules?"They exchanged glances, but taking the initiative not to anger the Sword God, they began sending private messages among themselves.Finally, all eyes locked onto the two young men standing face-to-face."Remember to use the technique you are most proud of, even your ultimate tru

When Zhe Bai Ga left, the three old men who were suppressing the momentum of the Soul Lotus exchanged glances."How can this kid feel so overwhelmingly powerful with the support of the Immortal Soul Tree..." One of them began to break out in a cold sweat.Until—"There's no other choice. All the high-ranking officials and elders have kept their distance... Forcefully destroy it within space..."One of them began tearing through the fabric of space, while another stepped forward, shoving the small lotus deep into the rift.As their joint effort progressed smoothly, the three old men nodded to one another. But inside the rift, the Soul Lotus fought to shatter the spatial realm, relentlessly pursuing its target."Destroy it by force!"WHOOOOOOSH!Dense golden smoke erupted from the bodies of all three men, surging into the spatial rift. And then...BOOOOOOOOOOM!A colossal explosion erupted, sending a soul-killing shockwave rippling outward from within the spatial rift. Moments later, ev

As Ling Yan shouted, shards of dull ice shot toward a soul controlled by Yao Chen.When the soul was frozen, Ling Yan’s arrogance reached its peak."As I said, it's just a soul... It won't force me to exert much effort... That Soul Flag is only dangerous if wielded by the Heavenly Emperor!"Hearing those dismissive words, Yao Chen—who had no intention of killing in the first place—faintly smiled. Unburdened, he acted as if that attack was merely an opening move."Is that so? Take a good look..."WHOOOOOOOSH!One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten divine souls at the Second Stage of Immortal Comprehension materialized behind Yao Chen."T-Ten souls with the capability of a Second Stage Divine Soul Comprehension?""D-Damn it... Elder Ling Yan is definitely..."The guards of the residence began to feel a dark premonition. Ling Yan felt the exact same foreboding. Yet, tasked by Ling Shu to guard the residence of the Seventh Son of Heaven's Sword, he summoned his courage.
