Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"grown ups......"

Within the grand formation, the mist settled on the ground, seemingly in submission;

The heavily armored figure stood eerily high above, with phantom images of weapons swirling around, as if two armies were charging into battle!

A hoarse voice came through: "Aren't you going to run away?"

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the crimson array beneath their feet;

The lingering soul fluctuations in the void prove that a large number of living beings existed here not long ago...

Those subordinates who cried for help ultimately didn't make it in time...

"Thank you so much for your guidance and understanding over the years, sir. Mengyue... Mengyue is deeply grateful!"

"Since you know this, why do you do this?" the heavily armored man asked with a strange disappointment, his spiritual energy dissipating like threads.

He did not see the Nightmare Insect Clan who colluded with Mengyue.

In the far distance, a member of the Fifth Realm Crystal Fire Clan was rapidly heading towards the exit of the Profound Realm...

Wait a minute... This fifth-realm Crystal Fire Clan member has a peculiar feeling about him, very familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before...

The heavily armored eerie figure immediately recalled that the feeling he had towards this Crystal Fire Clan member was exactly the same as that of the foolish eerie figure beside Mengyue a few days ago!

He seems to have grasped something...

"My lord, I'm sorry..." Mengyue spoke again, attracting the strange attention of the heavy armored figure;

The next moment, the fog and the great formation trembled together!

A deafening explosion rang out; they had all self-destructed!

Mysterious runes flashed by, and violent soul energy surged upwards, instantly engulfing the heavily armored, eerie figure!

But in an instant, a tiger tally appeared in the sky and descended!

And so, all the strange phenomena ceased...

The strange, heavily armored figure reappeared, solid as ever, seemingly unharmed.

He raised his hand, and a rune at his fingertip slowly dissipated...

His body trembled slightly, as if in sorrow, but it immediately transformed into boundless rage!

He finally understood why Mengyue had betrayed him without warning... not betrayal! But soul enslavement!

This method is very clever and secretive, and it doesn't even affect the original personality of the enslaved!

So he didn't realize it at first...

Considering that when Kuyan City was destroyed a few days ago, Mengyue had asked him for help... he may have already been enslaved at that time!

Mengyue hadn't been with him the longest. He had a relatively straightforward personality, which, although sometimes not likable, had never caused him any trouble.

He considered her one of his favorite subordinates... yet she was being enslaved by someone right under his nose?

And he even caused the deaths of several other subordinates?

And those who enslaved him...

In the far distance, the familiar figure of the Crystal Fire Clan suddenly transformed into a golden rainbow, displaying a speed disproportionate to his cultivation level, and rushed straight towards the exit of the Profound Realm!

As if the 'disguise' had failed, two long whiskers sprouted from the top of his head...

The endless rage finally materialized, and rows of black arrows formed behind the heavily armored monster!

In an instant, a torrent of arrows rained down!

Like traversing the void, it leaped and attacked the Nightmare Insect...

......

Chu Yuan desperately urged the Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun, and at the very last moment before the arrow tide hit him, he finally stepped out of the Soul of the Army Profound Realm!

At this moment, he was incredibly grateful that he hadn't been so greedy, and hadn't let Mengyue trick him into revealing more strange things...

When the first bizarre self-destruction occurred, Mengyue's body seal was affected and became somewhat unstable;

Then another strange creature took advantage of the tremors in the formation to self-destruct... which finally allowed their distress message to be transmitted!

Chu Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong, so he quickly ate another ephemeral flower potion, hurriedly refined the remaining few strange creatures, and then immediately fled!

They even left behind the Hazy Moon to cover their retreat and buy time...

Actually, I was still a little reluctant to part with him, after all, he was my number one soul servant, and a seventh-realm being at that;

If taken out, it could be a powerful trump card...

But one cannot have both fish and bear's paw, so to be on the safe side, Chu Yuan decided to play it safe.

It was precisely this steady approach that allowed him to successfully escape the Soul of the Warrior Realm...

The familiar, enormous sun appeared before my eyes, its sunlight momentarily blinding.

At this moment, Chu Yuan felt a warm sensation... The environment of the Soul Soldier Realm was indeed not something normal living beings could adapt to...

After determining his location, he turned and flew towards the territory of the Ninth Legion;

But in an instant, a chilling feeling spread through my body!

Everything had changed; all that could be seen were broken walls and ruins, remnants of war!

A suit of heavy armor appeared above his head, and a scarlet light shone from beneath the mask.

"They enslave my men and slaughter my people!"

"You think...you can get away?!" The voice, sharp as the clash of weapons, was filled with rage.

Chu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if a butcher's knife was held to his neck...

Oh no! How dare this thing chase after us?!

Wasn't it said that the Lord of the Soul Realm never leaves the Realm?

Damn it, the information was wrong! Rumors are harmful...

He feigned ignorance, his voice trembling with fear, "My lord, I don't understand what you mean..."

The two long whiskers on its head even swayed twice in perfect unison...

"Hmph! You'll have plenty of time to slowly understand..." The heavily armored monster didn't want to stay outside any longer and prepared to capture the insect and slowly process it!

How can one mercifully grant someone death after humiliating them like this?

A huge yoke appeared, almost tangible, and was placed over Chu Yuan's head;

A myriad of faint, multicolored lights appeared, forming a domain that could be compressed inch by inch...

Chu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, but he did not give up and gritted his teeth to endure it!

The moment he realized something was wrong, he simultaneously cried for help from Zhu Long and Lü Xuehai! If only they could hold on a little longer...

The heavily armored monster was not surprised that Chu Yuan could temporarily withstand its attacks;

How can someone who can enslave their subordinates be considered weak?

Beneath the mask, his eyes grew even more bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.

The yoke solidified further, shattering the seven-colored shimmering light domain with a thud, and was placed around Chu Yuan's neck!

A faint smell of blood wafted over. Chu Yuan saw that the wooden yoke was covered in bloodstains and had deep scratches, as if countless people had been imprisoned by this yoke in the past, desperately scratching at it!

A deep sleepiness washed over me...

"Bai Tu! You're going to die!"

A loud shout startled Chu Yuan awake, and he saw a familiar, shiny bald head;

Zhu Long punched the heavily armored man, black cracks appearing around his fist, accompanied by a faint sound of space shattering!

The heavily armored figure gripped the handle strangely, and a giant sword appeared in his palm before slashing down!

An intense burst of light erupted, so bright that Chu Yuan couldn't open his eyes;

Then, another unfamiliar voice rang out, its calm tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Bai Tu, get back!"

"Zhu Long! Xing Zhao..." The heavily armored voice was low and menacing.

"So you're human..."
