Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 433 Breaking Through the Restriction
At this very moment, the Demon Lord Feilian, whom Chen Ye longed to see, was on the other side of Guixu.

In the depths of the ocean, there are no sun, moon, or stars, only a layer of shimmering white light that illuminates everything day and night.

A giant whale, hundreds of feet long, hung in the sea as if it were dead. Its pale, scarred body was a terrible sight, but its enormous size still exuded a terrifying aura.

What is most terrifying is that the beast's massive, mountain-like head was forcibly ripped open from the middle by brute force.

The everted skull and the twitching, blood-red nerves were molded into a sinister and bloody throne.

The Demon Lord Feilian, wearing a hat with deer antlers, sat on this throne.

Besides, countless shadows roamed around him, all of them sea beasts he had subdued.

After obtaining that fragment of paper, Feilian would be able to know the origins of all living beings in the world. Apart from the black dog that "transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements," all living beings in the Ruins of Return could be reflected in the fragment of paper.

Each giant beast has its own weakness. Knowing this, Feilian only needs to use his supernatural power of making words come true to subdue them.

Of course, some sea creatures are not aware of the situation and would rather die than be controlled.

The Kun whale under Fei Lian's mount was just like that. It didn't know where its arrogance came from. Even though Fei Lian had already figured out its weakness, it still struggled frantically.

Fei Lian had no choice but to crack open the head of the Kun whale and turn it into a flesh and blood puppet.

No demonic cultivator is unskilled in blood refining. Although he hadn't used these tricks for many years, Fei Lian still found them quite easy to execute.

For sentient beings, making an example of someone is always effective.

Feilian's brutality caused the other sea creatures to submit out of fear, so it didn't take long for him to assemble a large army of sea creatures.

Looking at the thin screen of light in front of him, Fei Lian stretched out a hand and waved it gently.

The sea beasts understood his meaning and charged towards the light barrier.

Leading the charge were a dozen or so giant, armored prawns, each as large as a mountain. Their carapaces seemed to bear the weight of a real mountain range, etched with deep furrows left by time.

They retracted their massive, hammer-like pincers, then launched them out with lightning speed.

The seawater was squeezed and boiled in an instant, turning into countless bubbles.

The terrifying force struck the light screen, producing a continuous series of deafening roars.

"Dong dong dong——!"

Each impact caused the entire Ruins of Return to tremble, and violent ripples spread across the light screen. However, the light screen was incredibly resilient, and with only slight changes, it immediately reflected all the immense force back.

These giant shrimp were shaken and tumbled backward, fine cracks appearing on their indestructible shells, and their battering ram-like claws were covered in blood.

Closely following behind were several colossal abyssal octopuses. Their enormous, octopus-like bodies were covered with hundreds of scarlet eyes, each shooting out a demonic light capable of corroding everything. They wielded tentacles as thick as mountains, churning up giant rocks from the seabed, or transforming their tentacles into jet-black whips, lashing them fiercely against the light barrier, scattering shattered runes everywhere.

Further behind the horde of beasts, tens of thousands of sharp-toothed sharks converged into a silver torrent of death. Under the influence of Fei Lian's demonic energy, each of their teeth became sharper than a magical flying sword. They charged towards the light barrier in droves, using themselves as weapons, trying to gnaw even the slightest crack in that indestructible barrier.

Blood spread, mixing with the seawater and turning the surrounding area a dark red color.

These sea monsters continued to charge, emitting painful and furious roars.

Each of these ancient sea beasts, if released into the outside world, would be enough to stir up towering waves. A sea beast at the Nascent Soul stage could easily destroy a small mortal nation.

However, here they are merely tools in the hands of the Demon Lord Feilian to escape, and they don't seem to have much effect yet.

No matter how desperately they bombarded the light barrier, they couldn't even scratch it. Suddenly, after being violently bounced back once again, a giant black-armored turtle seemed to have overcome its fear of the Flying Demon Lord with its intense pain. It let out a low, mournful cry, its massive body paused slightly, and it even showed signs of retreating.

"Humph."

On the bone seat, Demon Lord Feilian let out a cold snort of extreme displeasure.

He didn't even look up; he simply pointed his fingers like a sword at the hesitant giant turtle from afar.

Countless black threads emerged, ignoring the distance in space, and instantly pierced through the giant turtle's thick shell.

The massive body of the Xuanjia Giant Turtle suddenly stiffened, then let out an extremely shrill wail. Its flesh began to turn grayish-white, as if all its essence and blood had been extracted.

Its flesh withered and shriveled at an alarming rate, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its hard shell, finally shattering completely with a "crack".

The mournful cries abruptly ceased.

Fei Lian clenched his fist, crushing the emerald green soul fire that had just detached from the giant turtle and was still howling. He then roughly forced it back into the massive body that had already turned into withered bones.

A chilling scene unfolded before the eyes of the skeletal giant tortoise: two dark, demonic flames suddenly ignited within them. It stiffly shifted its body, then let out an unconscious roar, charging at the light barrier once more ferociously than in life!

This was no longer the original sea beast, but a zombie that had been instantly refined.

Under the control of the Demon Lord Feilian, until the body is completely destroyed and the soul is completely annihilated, this zombie will recklessly try to break through the restrictions of Guixu.

This bloody and cruel scene made all the controlled sea beasts around tremble.

The fear that originated from the depths of their souls drove them to carry out the Demon Lord's orders even more frantically, daring not to slacken in the slightest.

Fei Lian withdrew his finger, watching everything indifferently. His anger was not directed at these foolish beasts.

He looked at the light screen that no amount of attack could shake, and a deep-seated hatred flashed in his eyes.

“Youluozi…”

He murmured the name. If he hadn't been tricked by that witch, how could he, a dignified Dao-Merging Demon Lord, have fallen into such a dilemma?
However, the power of these sea beasts did not seem to be enough to shake the restrictions of the Void.

Unfortunately, he was not proficient in the Blood Refinement Technique. Otherwise, given a few years, he might have been able to refine all these sea beasts into a powerful magic weapon and then attempt to break through the Void Restriction.

Now, we can only resort to this foolish method of head-on confrontation, and we don't know how much effect it will have if all these sea monsters die.

Should we really open the gate deep within the Ruins and release that prisoner?

Just as he was feeling extremely agitated, the Demon Lord Feilian suddenly turned his head, as if he had caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow.

He frowned immediately; just a moment ago, he seemed to have seen a dragon.

"A dragon? Where would a dragon come from in the Ruins of Return?"

By rewinding time, the Demon Lord Feilian already knew that the original master of Guixu was a dragon, so the dragon aura protecting him could also open the treasures guarded by those jellyfish.

But he had been wandering around Guixu for several days and hadn't seen a single dragon.

"Could it be... Chen Ye who has arrived?"

The Demon Lord Feilian only remembered that Chen Ye could transform into a dragon, so perhaps he could break the restrictions on Guixu?
With this in mind, Demon Lord Feilian waved his hand to halt the attack, then ordered, "Go, find the dragon in the Ruins! If you don't find it, you will all die!"
