Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Lin Dong's murderous words echoed across the square, and for a moment no one dared to respond.

Jia Xingtian, Fama, and the others had ashen faces and felt extremely aggrieved, but they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The current situation is beyond our control.

Even Dou Zongyunshan was slaughtered by this young man like a chicken or a dog.

What's the difference between these Battle Emperors and Battle Kings going up there and sending themselves to their deaths?
However, in the midst of this suffocating silence, a chilling voice suddenly echoed from the forbidden area behind the Yunlan Sect:
"A bunch of useless trash... I ordered you to collect souls here, and what did you do? Not only was your hideout destroyed, but you also lost your lives..."

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated everyone's ears, causing everyone to involuntarily shiver.

A chilling fear, originating from the depths of one's soul, quietly spread.

"Who?"

Lin Dong suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the source of the sound, alarm bells ringing in his mind.

The sense of danger he felt from that sound was many times stronger than that from Yunshan just now!
"——Crack!"

Before anyone could react, the sky near the Yunlan Sect's mountain gate suddenly cracked open like a shattered mirror, revealing a series of dark fissures!
The terrifying spatial fluctuations swept out like a tsunami!
Immediately afterwards, the largest spatial rift was suddenly torn open, and dozens of figures stepped out from it like ghosts.

These people were all dressed in large black robes, which covered their entire bodies completely, making it impossible to see their faces.

"--boom!"

The moment they fully revealed themselves, an immense and abyss-like pressure descended from the sky like an invisible mountain weighing billions of pounds, slamming heavily onto the entire Yunlan Sect square!

"—Thump!"

"—Thump!"

"—Thump!"

"..."

Before the people in the arena could even scream, they were overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure and knelt down on the ground in unison.

Jia Xingtian, Fama, and the others turned red in the face, feeling as if their bones were creaking and making it extremely difficult to breathe. Their eyes were filled with boundless fear.

They had never felt such terrifying oppression.

"Uh!"

Lin Dong was also suppressed.

He felt an unimaginable force pressing down on his shoulders, as if it were going to crush all the bones in his body!
His internal energy surged wildly, and with the help of the ancestral symbol, he barely managed not to kneel down like the others. However, his legs trembled violently, and one knee slammed heavily into the stone bricks on the ground with a "thud." Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

"What are the cultivation levels of these people? Why are they so terrifying?"

The punishment was so severe that even the heavenly heart was broken.

Compared to the people before him, the pressure brought by Yunshan's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm was like a firefly compared to the bright moon!
The cultivation levels of these black-robed men have definitely surpassed those of the Dou Zong realm!

He even reached the legendary level of Dou Sheng!

Nowadays, the Jiama Empire is seeing a growing number of powerful individuals whose cultivation levels far surpass those of Dou Huang.

Their royal family's position in the empire is precarious.

"Who...who are you? Why are you in the forbidden area behind my Yunlan Sect?"

Yun Yun struggled to lift her head, gazing at the black-robed figures in the sky that exuded an ominous aura, and asked in a trembling voice.

Hun Miesheng slowly lowered his head and glanced at Yun Yun with his emotionless eyes: "I originally only wanted to use this remote place and the souls of you ants to recover from some of my injuries... Now that I've been discovered, I'll harvest you ahead of time. The souls of everyone present today, I... will take them."

After saying that, Hun Miesheng ignored the terrified crowd below and made a grabbing motion in the air with his pale palm toward the nearest Yunlan Sect Douling Elder.

“No! Don’t—!”

The elder let out a pitiful plea for mercy.

But it was of no use.

A semi-transparent, distorted, and pained phantom soul was forcibly pulled from the elder's crown by an invisible force, letting out a silent shriek before being absorbed into Hun Miesheng's palm and disappearing.

The elder's body instantly lost all life force, and he collapsed to the ground with empty eyes.

"Let's get started. The quality is a bit poor, but the quantity is acceptable."

Hun Miesheng, expressionless, gave instructions to the people from the Soul Palace behind him.

"Follow the Palace Master's order!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

The weakest among them was still a Dou Zun level expert.

Among them are several Battle Saints whose cultivation levels are similar to that of Hun Miesheng!
They attacked like hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep, rushing towards the desperate crowd below. A massacre ensued.

The entire Yunlan Sect was instantly turned into a bloody slaughterhouse!
Countless guests and disciples had their souls forcibly taken by the Soul Palace.

"Kill them all. Once you've absorbed all their souls, your injuries should have healed somewhat..."

Hun Miesheng glanced at his subordinates who were slaughtering people indiscriminately around him, but a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

On that day, while the main forces of the eight ancient clans were all inside the Ancient Emperor Cave, they successfully dealt heavy blows to the powerful warriors of various clans stationed on the outer perimeter, killing everyone, achieving a brilliant victory.

However, just as they were preparing to take further action, the Soul Clan's clan markings on their bodies sensed that the Soul Emperor's aura had suddenly disappeared!
There is only one possibility for the clan mark to disappear.

That was the fall!
The Soul Emperor is dead.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly extinguishing all fighting spirit in Hun Miesheng and the others.

The patriarch's demise signifies an unforeseen turn of events in the struggle within the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

They dared not linger any longer, immediately abandoned all plans, tore through space, fled thousands of miles away, and finally settled in the Yunlan Sect.

Because he was injured during the raid on the eight powerful clans and needed a large number of souls to recover, Hun Miesheng had Protector Wu collude with Yunshan to stage a grand wedding ceremony.

They wanted to use this wedding to lure the Gama Empire and all the surrounding family forces, and then wipe them all out.

The plan was originally very successful.

But unexpectedly, Lin Dong appeared out of nowhere.

Not only did they disrupt the wedding ceremony arranged by Yunshan, but they also ruined it.

They even killed Yunshan.

Worried that delay would lead to unforeseen changes, Hun Miesheng had no choice but to risk being discovered by the eight ancient clans and reveal himself ahead of time to harvest souls.

However, these minor issues no longer matter.

Since they've exposed their identities in the Jama Empire, they might as well go hide in the neighboring Izumo Empire after they've finished harvesting their loot.

If the harvesting is done quickly, even Gu Yuan wouldn't be able to find them so soon.

"asshole!"

Lin Dong's eyes were bloodshot.

He endured the terrifying pressure of the Battle Saint and frantically activated the Nirvana Path in the "Original True Explanation" and "Willow God Method" in an attempt to break free from the suppression on his body!
"Ok?"

Just then, a Dou Zun expert from the Soul Palace noticed what was happening on his side, and a hint of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes.

"This kid is strange; his soul must be extraordinary!"

He grinned maliciously, abandoned his plans to kill the others, and transformed into a wisp of black smoke, rushing straight towards Lin Dong.

"Want to suck my soul? Dream on!"

"—Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

Lin Dong roared, squeezing out his last bit of power, and pointed out with a single finger!
"--boom!"

The finger shadows collided with the ghostly claws, unleashing an astonishing shockwave.

The Soul Palace Dou Zun was forced back several steps by Lin Dong's single finger, and he was even more surprised.

“There really is something to it!”

In order to extract the soul from Lin Dong, his attacks became even more ferocious.

Lin Dong gritted his teeth and fought hard, facing numerous dangers.

He was already greatly exhausted, and now, under the interference of the Dou Sheng's pressure, he was even less able to exert his full strength.

And the other side.

Yun Yun felt heartbroken watching the disciples of the Yunlan Sect and the powerful figures of the Jia Ma Empire being slaughtered like livestock.

She struggled to move, but the overwhelming pressure of the Dou Sheng that enveloped the entire arena was like the strongest shackles, pinning her firmly to the spot.

With her current cultivation level, let alone fighting, even moving a single finger would be extremely difficult for her.

A peak Douhuang (Battle Emperor) might rank among the top three of the ten strongest in the Jia Ma Empire, but in the face of a true powerhouse, they are no different from ants.

"This woman is quite lovely; she evokes pity in me..."

Just then, Hun Miesheng suddenly noticed Yun Yun, who was struggling, and a greedy look instantly appeared in his eyes.
