C806 Space Disintegration!

"It's a bit risky."

Aboard the Cloud Cruiser, Shen Yan of the Sword Sect's Stardust Blade lineage shook his head. His expression, which had been tense, relaxed as if a weight had been lifted. He moved forward to stand alongside Chen Qingyan, eyeing her with caution. "Just observe from a distance," he instructed firmly. "You must not draw your sword!"

Turning to Ma Jianjiang, his voice took on a grave tone, "Please ensure this Cloud Cruiser doesn't approach the black cloud area."

Ma Jianjiang offered a wry smile. "I wouldn't dare."

Chen Qingyan paid him no mind, her focus entirely on the peculiar little world beneath the vast expanse of black clouds. Through their vantage point, they could see that the release of the Chasuo Kingdom, aided by the Shadowblade, had created a so-called death zone at the center of the blade and the Crucible of Evil.

Black chains, which had initially been coiled around the hilt, now extended from the enlarged Shadowblade, its edge pointing downward as the chains stabbed into the base of the cauldron, tugged by legions of malevolent spirits. The cauldron, which had been resisting and swaying, had yet to succumb.

Then, in an unexpected turn, the Crucible of Evil, previously defiant, plummeted and sank into the Chasuo Kingdom constructed by the Shadowblade. What followed was a sight of innumerable bizarre ghosts engulfing the Crucible of Evil.

"Qignas seems to be looking out for Mo Yan, though it's unclear how many ghosts he's allowed him to consume in secret," mused Golden Fiend, a member of the Skyreach Consortium, aboard the Cloud Cruiser. He was genuinely concerned for Yu Yuan. "The ghosts processed by the Devil Blade have become deranged, endowed with a peculiar spiritual wisdom by the blade. Alas, Mo Yan is the son of that man, with a high realm of his own. Yu Yuan might face some difficulties on this journey."

He expressed concern for Yu Yuan's troubles, but he did not believe that Yu Yuan would necessarily perish in the Chasuo Kingdom. His belief stemmed from a harrowing experience in the Forgotten Ruins. There, within the Dark Realm's little world, he had witnessed a scene that still sent shivers down his spine: a massive phantom had briefly emerged and turned the tide while Yu Yuan lay unconscious. Ever since, whenever he encountered Yu Yuan, he couldn't help but maintain an attitude of humility and awe.

He was clueless about the nature of the immense phantom or its origins.

Yet, he was convinced that Yu Yuan would not fall to the Chasuo Kingdom, which had not even achieved its ultimate form.

"Yu Yuan..."

Ann Ziqing clutched the Glacial Storm Seal, watching helplessly as Yu Yuan vanished into what was dubbed the Purgatory of Death. She yearned to assist him, but Razses, the Ghost King, firmly held her back.

The Ghost King's rationale was solid: even if she wanted to, she couldn't save him...

"Truly worthy of being Mo Yan from the Devil Palace, the son of that man, a true scion of the Chasuo Kingdom!"

"Mo Yan may appear young, but he's nearly a century old. This Hellbreed's current realm and status are solely due to the postnatal cleansing he received."

"Indeed. Mo Yan, backed by the second-in-command of the Devil Palace, what chance does Yu Yuan stand against him?"

"Yu Yuan is done for."

"..."

In the radiant palace, many cultivators from the Euwrea Continent witnessed Yu Yuan and the Crucible of Evil plummet into the infernal Death Realm. They were all convinced that Yu Yuan's fate was sealed.

At that moment, Cao Jiaze, who had been facing away from them, suddenly turned around.

"Like Yu Yuan, I've relied on no one and possess only average cultivation talent. Do you really think I'd struggle to kill Mo Yan?"

Cao Jiaze said with a mocking laugh.

At his words, the previously chattering crowd fell silent.

"If Yu Yuan were so easily defeated, why would I bother coming to the Land of Terror?" Cao Jiaze scoffed, "From this point forward, I won't hold any of you back. You're free to strike down whoever you wish. But remember, you'll bear the consequences of your actions."

With that declaration, the silence among his followers deepened.

Despite his low rank and being in the Spirit Walk state, Cao Jiaze commanded deep-seated respect, instilling genuine awe in them.

"Do you really hold Yu Yuan in such high regard?" Chu Yao of the Order of Healing expressed his astonishment, "Why do you believe he's superior to Mo Yan?"

"Mo Yan has a powerful father, and that's about it. Doesn't that alone prove his weakness?" Cao Jiaze retorted.

Chu Yao was momentarily taken aback and fell silent.

"Just watch," Cao Jiaze said with a smile.

Chu Yao's gaze followed his, and he suddenly noticed Rahu, the Ghost King, now dominating the battle against the nine Spectres.

Rahu was single-handedly taking on nine opponents.

The eight ancient ghosts, unable to reform their array, were in disarray as Rahu relentlessly pursued them.

Despite seeing Yu Yuan in danger, Rahu remained remarkably composed, as if she didn't believe Yu Yuan would truly come to harm.

Chu Yao had a realization.

...

Deep within the Chasuo Kingdom.

Time and space were in disarray as hordes of evil spirits with black bodies, crimson hair, and green eyes relentlessly assaulted the Crucible of Evil, crashing against the dark magic shield with a cacophony of crackles.

Inside the shield, Yu Yuan remained calm and composed.

He was listening to Mo Yan's triumphant taunting.

"Yu Yuan, not only will you die here, but Yuan Lianyao will join you in death. The Ruby Hand won't oppose our Devil Palace for her sake. Hehe, after I kill you, I'll use her residual soul to forge a new Bane! Her hatred and despair at witnessing your death will be immensely amplified, aiding the creation of the Bane."

"That lady who exuded the chill of the Nine Nethers, I'll awaken her spiritual wisdom and restore her lost memories!"

"She will be mine!"

Amidst the throng of malevolent spirits, Mo Yan, like a king among ghosts, freely expressed his dark desires.

"And as for your Yu family, once you're dead, even if they are sheltered by the Shadow's Keep in the Forgotten Ruins, I will ensure the complete eradication of the Yu family! Yu Zhu only cares about your well-being. Without you, she won't bother with the Yu family. The Shadow's Keep will care even less about a minor clan from Asvetaesi!"

"The Crucible of Evil will eventually be mine again; it was always meant to be!"

"…"

Mo Yan, surrounded by the evil spirits, unabashedly revealed his plans to Yu Yuan.

Standing within the cauldron, Yu Yuan observed the bizarre forms of the evil spirits and communicated with Yu Yiyi, sensing the various anomalies within the Chasuo Kingdom. He suddenly spoke out, "Do you really think you can boast of having full control with just a nascent Death Realm?"

He let out a sudden sneer.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

Deep within those narrowed eyes, two elusive phantoms seemed to flicker into existence.

At that instant, his Lunar Spirit and heaven soul appeared to gaze through his left and right eyes, as if seeing across thousands of miles to two distinct entities on another continent.

The Lunar Spirit had mysteriously connected with the Soulforge Pool.

His heaven soul, meanwhile, established a clear communication with the singular space at the bottom of the pool, where the four ancient black characters "To Know All is to Suffer All" floated.

He had once been in harmony with the Soulforge Matrix, enabling him to interact with the Soulforge Pool and manipulate it to alter the matrix's pathways.

That other space at the bottom of the pool, with its four archaic characters, was the key to his comprehension of the Soul Forging through Enlightenment technique. He had always been able to sense its presence whenever he refined his heaven soul.

However, it was only upon reaching the Land of Terror that he lost contact with it, becoming insensible to its existence.

But after his earthly soul evolved into the Lunar Spirit, and he received the favor of the Root of the Lunar Meridian, the Nether Reaches in the Land of Quiescence seemed to unlock a specific seal and prison exclusively for him!

Through the Lunar Spirit and the heaven soul, he managed to establish a connection with the two extraordinary objects within the Moonfall Sanctuary.

"The Chasuo Kingdom, so ill-prepared, shall now crumble."

A mysterious pool with ink-black Soul Power circulating at its base began to materialize behind Yu Yuan. The pool gently rotated, creating a natural suction force.

With the sanction of the Root of the Lunar Meridian, the pool's miraculous power to refine all celestial and demonic beings burst forth, transcending the infinite void!

Crack!

The Chasuo Kingdom, still in its nascent form, could not bear the horrific force emanating from the pool and collapsed in an instant.

Mo Yan, who had covertly gathered and refined the malevolent spirits with the Devil Blade, watched them disintegrate into nothingness.

The ethereal soul streams were drawn into the pool one by one.

"Soulforge Pool!"

Mo Yan was terrified beyond measure.
