Smoke and dust billowed, and explosions resounded incessantly.
Within this small space, a fierce battle raged between four King Rank experts.
Even Lin Zhennan and his companions had never witnessed such a terrifying battle; even the aftershocks made it difficult for them to breathe.
"Bring the governor to the Soul Cleansing Pool. I will remove the Soul-Devouring Curse from him," Ling Qingxue said.
Hearing this, Lin Zhennan's face lit up with joy.
They had been so terrified by the battle that they had almost forgotten about the Soul Cleansing Pool.
If Hong Lie's soul injuries could be healed, he would definitely be able to overwhelm Yang Wuqi and his companion completely!
"Quick, use your energy to clear a path! I'll help the governor!"
The vital energy of the four provincial soldiers surged, and they forcefully carved a path through the chaotic energy currents.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Zhennan carried Hong Lie and ran towards Ling Qingxue beside the Soul Cleansing Pool.
The Soul Cleansing Pool was small, like a handwashing basin, filled with a hazy, gray energy—the materialized essence of soul power.
It was this altar, crafted from Space-Severing Stone, that prevented the energy within the Soul Cleansing Pool from dissipating, preserving it for thousands of years.
Yang Wuqi glanced at them but didn't stop them, a mocking expression on his face.
"The Soul Cleansing Pool can indeed wash away the Soul-Devouring Curse, but do you really think it's that simple? Without my secret technique, even with the Soul Cleansing Pool, Hong Lie would still die!"
The Soul Cleansing Pool was the most precious treasure of his Soul Tribe, and he was the only one left who knew how to control it.
Without using the secret technique, no one could control the Soul Cleansing Pool!
Ling Qingxue smiled. "You're too confident. People are most prone to making mistakes when they're overconfident."
"The reason the Soul Cleansing Pool requires a secret technique to open is because your Soul Tribe placed a restriction on it. Since that's the case, then I'll break that restriction!"
The next moment, Ling Qingxue used her fingers as a brush to outline a spirit formation.
One spirit formation after another assembled around her, finally becoming a massive combined spirit formation.
"Heaven and Earth have no Limits, Eight Directions Reversed!"
Restrictions, like spirit formations, had their own operating rules. Once these rules were broken, even the strongest restriction would dissipate.
Based on a widely known six-word incantation, she created this special spirit formation.
Eight Directions Reversed!!
This was also one of the most powerful spirit formations Ling Qingxue created in her previous life after reaching the Imperial Rank as a Spiritual Master. Its function was simple: to dismantle all restrictions and spirit formations through reversal!
She was no longer at her peak, but after thousands of years of erosion, neither were the restrictions.
Bang!
The restrictions on the Soul Cleansing Pool rippled under the chaotic power, finally turning to ashes and dissipating before everyone's eyes.
Yang Wuqi's eyes widened, his expression one of utter disbelief. His attack faltered for a moment.
Beiming Feng naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. His longsword unleashed the Sword Aura Domain as it slashed down towards Yang Wuqi.
The strike came as swift as a flash of lightning, severing Yang Wuqi's arm clean off at the shoulder as a spray of crimson blood splattered across the ground.
Yang Wuqi let out a wail, his body trembling slightly, a chilling glint in his eyes as he looked at Ling Qingxue.
"Who are you?! This is far beyond what a high school student could do!"
The Soul Cleansing Pool was connected to the altar, so the restrictions couldn't be easily broken. Even eroded by time, it would require a King Rank Spiritual Master to break them with absolute spiritual power.
But a mere Second Rank high school student?
What kind of cosmic joke was this?!
"Read more books and newspapers, play fewer games, and sleep more. The world is much bigger than you think," Beiming Feng sneered.
He didn't care how Ling Qingxue had done it; she was already a student of his Beiming Martial Arts University.
The more talented Ling Qingxue was, the happier he was!
A moment later, Ling Qingxue began to circulate her spiritual power, guiding the soul energy within the Soul Cleansing Pool to impact the Soul-Devouring Curse.
It was like a source of polluted energy, constantly eroding the soul, but it could be washed away by a continuous stream of soul energy.
Ling Qingxue could also absorb this soul energy to enhance her own spiritual power.
In just over ten minutes, a low, shattering sound echoed in Hong Lie's mind, and the gloom on his face vanished completely.
Hong Lie opened his tiger-like eyes, coldly staring at Yang Wuqi.
"Yang Wuqi... I'll kill you!"
A surge of power erupted, pressing down on Yang Wuqi.
Hong Tai was obsessed with the King Rank, but this was partly due to Yang Wuqi's manipulation of the Soul-Devouring Bloodline.
Because of Yang Wuqi, his brother would never return, never again!
Therefore, he deserved to die!!
The Flame Domain was released, and Hong Lie, wielding a large blade, charged towards Yang Wuqi, each strike powerful and relentless, disregarding everything else.
Faced with attacks from two King Rank opponents simultaneously, Yang Wuqi gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, his injuries worsening.
Unlike normal martial artists, he didn't have a magical beast to join the battle.
The members of the Beast King Cult had already transformed themselves into beasts, thus losing the ability to contract with them.
Several sharp whistling sounds rang out as sword light, imbued with sword intent, surged forth. Yang Wuqi's other arm was severed, and a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on his chest.
"Use the Domain to obliterate his soul. Yang Wuqi's true form is the Soul Beast King. Only in this way can he truly die!" Beiming Feng said in a deep voice.
Hong Lie responded, then enveloped Yang Wuqi within his Flame Domain.
Suppressed by the four domains, Yang Wuqi wailed incessantly, his body and soul gradually dissipating.
Meanwhile, Hong Tai, fighting the Ice Wind Kunpeng, grew increasingly frenzied. His body was engulfed in blood flames, completely transforming into a demonic beast.
A tear of blood streamed from Hong Lie's eye as he struggled internally.
Beiming Feng also saw this, but could only sigh.
"It's useless. At this moment, no one but a god can save him. From the moment he fully fused with the magical beast bloodline, his soul became one with his bestial nature. His willpower is too weak. A single burst of humanity was completely devoured by his beastly instincts.
Yang Wuqi was able to manipulate him with his spiritual power precisely because of this. From the very beginning, he never intended for the two of you to walk out of here alive!"
Although Hong Tai broke through to the King Rank with the help of the magical beast bloodline, excessive stimulation of his power would transform him into a demonic beast, thus sealing his fate. Without Yang Wuqi's secret technique to open the Soul Cleansing Pool, Hong Lie would also be completely devoured by the Soul-Devouring Curse and die.
This was the ending Yang Wuqi had chosen for the two brothers.
Hong Lie's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his internal power erupted wildly. The sea of fire within his Flame Domain surged even more fiercely, completely obliterating Yang Wuqi's physical body and revealing the dissipating Soul Beast King's soul.
But, just as Yang Wuqi possessed the Beast King Cult Leader, he could possess others as well. Unless the Soul Beast King was completely obliterated, he would never truly die.
Perhaps this was the spiritual immortality he sought!
Within the four domains, Yang Wuqi opened his blood-red eyes, his gaze icy cold.
"You really think you've got me cornered? Dream on!"
Yang Wuqi's gaze fell on Hong Tai, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Beiming Feng's pupils shrank sharply, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.
"Retreat!"
He summoned back the Ice Wind Kunpeng and took Hong Lie with him, appearing beside Ling Qingxue and the others. He then expanded his three domains to form a protective shield.
Boom!
Hong Tai and his magical beast, the Thorny War Wolf, self-destructed, unleashing a massive burst of energy that violently shook the altar's space.
