Chapter 806: Let You Taste Soul Extraction and Refining

Shen Lang and Monk Bu Se did not wait long.

Less than thirty minutes after Shen Lang blasted down a chunk of the cliff face, another person arrived. It was an old man in gray robes with a long, fluttering beard. Though he looked like a transcendent immortal, his eyes darted around shiftily. Gripping a faintly glowing Longsword, he approached with extreme caution, taking one measured step at a time.

Stepping onto the second-tier platform, the old man froze. The fierce battle between Duanmu Xie and Duan Chenfeng had wrecked the area, leaving massive craters everywhere. Debris from the surrounding shattered cliffs littered the ground in complete disarray. He glanced at Shen Lang’s group of three, then at the devastated platform. Swallowing hard, he sprinted straight into the Teleportation Gate without a word, running as if a prehistoric Fierce Beast of Primordial Chaos were chasing him.

“That’s the eighth one, Mr. Shen. We have enough,” Monk Bu Se reminded him.

Shen Lang didn’t answer. He simply stood motionless, gazing into the distance. Puzzled, Monk Bu Se followed his gaze. All he could see was the Endless Void, where brutal Gang Feng ravaged the space and countless Wind Blades spun and collided.

Five minutes later, Shen Lang turned around and sighed. “Let’s go.”

He had finally suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and his eyes returned to their usual calm composure. Monk Bu Se immediately followed him toward the Teleportation Gate. The woman wearing the Bronze Mask trailed about ten meters behind them.

Shen Lang lowered his voice with a strange expression. “When Duan Chenfeng attacked me, did that woman behind us scream?”

Startled, Monk Bu Se gave a slight nod. “Yes… but isn’t that normal? Duan Chenfeng is an Emperor Martial Realm expert. His full-force, enraged strike was truly terrifying. Even I was afraid of being caught in the crossfire and almost jumped into the Teleportation Gate.”

“Is that so?” Shen Lang nodded thoughtfully.

With a flash of light, both of them appeared inside the Twelve All Heaven Beast Array. Just as he expected, the Grand Array was surprisingly quiet. Their arrival didn’t trigger an endless horde of Fierce Beasts like last time. The beast carvings on the stone pillars remained completely still in an eerie, terrifying silence.

However, the twelve light barriers had transformed. Locking Chains formed of Spirit Light crisscrossed within them like cages, thoroughly binding the people inside and making it impossible for them to move. Even Dong Chengyue and the other three Emperor Martial Realm experts were locked down so tightly they couldn’t take a single step!

“You little brat! You still dare to come in? I’m gonna tear you into ten thousand pieces!” From inside one of the light barriers, Ren Xudong roared like a wild beast. His bellow echoed throughout the hall, dripping with boundless rage and hatred. Qin Mengxue and the others snapped their heads toward Shen Lang, their faces extremely grim.

“You wanna tear me apart?” Shen Lang scoffed, leaving Ren Xudong choking on his own fury. “The line of people who want to do that is out the door. You wouldn’t even make the waiting list. What makes you think you’re so special? I’m standing right in front of you. What are you gonna do about it? Keep running your mouth, and I’ll make you regret it!”

Ren Xudong laughed out of extreme anger. “What an arrogant brat! In all my years of Cultivation, this is the first time I’ve met someone as bold as you! I’d love to see exactly what you’ve got to make me regret this! Even stuck in here, there’s no way a punk like you can do a damn thing to me! You better remember this—the moment I break this Seal, you’re dead meat! I’ll make you suffer the agony of Soul Extraction and Refining until there’s not even a corpse left of you!”

Shen Lang had been strolling slowly down the hall’s central aisle, but upon hearing Ren Xudong’s hysterical threats, his gaze sharpened. “Damn it, people from your Candle Dragon faction are the ones I despise the most! I wasn’t even going to mess with you, but since you insist on shoving your face forward, it’d be rude not to slap it. You keep running your mouth about Soul Extraction and Refining. Well, let’s see how you like a taste of it first!”

With cold eyes, Shen Lang walked step by step right up to Ren Xudong’s light barrier.

It wasn’t just Ren Xudong; everyone present was stunned. Was this guy serious? Was he actually going to attack Ren Xudong? Wasn’t this a joke?

The twelve light barriers inside this Grand Array were no ordinary structures. Not only could they trap an Emperor Martial Realm Late Stage expert, but they also completely isolated the captives from the outside world. How could anyone possibly hurt Ren Xudong under these conditions? And by the looks of it, Shen Lang intended to strike personally rather than relying on the Zombie that had captured Duan Chenfeng earlier!

Even putting the barrier aside, the gap between King Martial Realm Martial Artists and Emperor Martial Realm Martial Artists was insurmountable. Even if there were no light barrier, and even if Ren Xudong just stood there and let him hack away, a mere King Martial Realm Martial Artist couldn’t leave a scratch on an Emperor Martial Realm Eighth Heaven expert! The physical resilience of an Emperor Martial Realm expert was so tyrannical that, even without the aid of any Magical Treasure or Battle Armor, a Basic Level King Martial Realm Martial Artist couldn’t possibly pierce their defenses.

Furthermore, the man trapped inside the barrier was an Emperor Martial Realm Eighth Heaven expert from the Demon God Hall! This was no different from an ant trying to stick out its leg to trip an elephant. Dong Chengyue and her two companions found the situation both irritating and amusing, absolutely refusing to believe Shen Lang could do anything to Ren Xudong.

However, those who had previously watched Shen Lang torture Yin Tianchou on the second-tier platform wore strange, uneasy expressions. Although they had all seen Duan Chenfeng severely crippled by the Zombie, Shen Lang still possessed another trump card that remained fresh in their memories. That was Netherworld Qi!

This Netherworld Qi was a type of Hell Qi channeled directly from the Nine Netherworld Prison. As an Energy of Supreme Yin and profound evil, it was nearly impossible to block unless one used an Energy of Supreme Yang and Firmness! If this guy actually deployed his Netherworld Qi…

Some wanted to warn Ren Xudong, but seeing his arrogant, overbearing, and smug demeanor, they opted to play dumb and remain entirely indifferent.

At that moment, Ren Xudong burst into maniacal laughter. “You little bastard, your granddaddy is standing right here! You wanna give me a taste of Soul Extraction and Refining? Come on! Let your granddaddy see what you can do! Just for what you just said, when I break this Seal, I’m absolutely gonna tear you into ten thousand pieces! I’ll cause your Soul Scattering, ensuring you can never be reincarnated! Hahahaha!”

While Ren Xudong laughed wildly, Shen Lang closed his eyes and pressed one hand against the Light Wall trapping him.

The moment his palm touched the barrier…

BONGGG!

A melodious, bell-like chime rang out. The Light Wall flashed blindingly, unleashing an aggressively tyrannical force that violently shoved back against Shen Lang’s hand!

BAM!

Concentric ripples of Powerful Qi flared out like water waves from in front of Shen Lang’s palm. He let out a soft grunt as the force threw his body backward. His feet plowed a long, deep trench through the ground!

“You little animal, is that your big move? You can’t even touch the Light Wall, and you want me to taste Soul Extraction and Refining?” Ren Xudong howled with immensely conceited laughter upon seeing Shen Lang repelled by the barrier’s rebound. “Hahaha, go fuck yourself!”
