Bao Ao, Jie Ji, and the leaders of the four clans came to the Black Pond. Looking at the murmuring black water, they frowned.
The thick black clouds that lingered above the Black Pool all year round were completely drawn away.
The pond water was calm. There was no strong spiritual Qi or anything strange. However, they saw a line of words floating in the middle of the pond: Don't destroy anything.
Apparently, Xuanming wasn't here. He had just left a message, as if he knew they would come.
Comoros's face was as cold as water. He pointed his left index finger, and a light circle shot out, reaching the pond to touch those words.
Suddenly, a wave of powerful Soul Strength coiled around him like a snake, wrapping around his soul and dragging it into a pool of water.
That Soul Force contained a 'forbidden' concept that could seal and lock everything, and it could reach the depths of a person's soul.
Comoros also knew how to use soul power. However, his soul was confined. He felt chilled to the bone, as if someone had used so many Ice Crystals to seal his soul. His consciousness was getting lost.
Bao Ao and Jie Ji, the two leaders of the Ancient Demon Clan, slightly discolored. They exchanged looks and saw a gleam of fear in each other's eyes.
The Monster Clan didn't know how to use soul power. It was common knowledge. According to common sense, even if Xuanming had profound supernatural power, he couldn't subdue Comoros.
Moreover, he didn't do it himself. He had just left a beam of his soul intent domain, and Comoros's soul couldn't move even a little bit.
A beam of light shot out from the emotionless eyes of the Dark Spirit Clan's leader. It was like a rainbow shooting into the Black Pond.
However, as soon as the light touched the characters, it scattered as if it was struck by lightning.
The eyes of Kante, the leader of the Dark Spirit Clan, were in a mess. Gray lines appeared on his body, entangling with each other as if they were connected to the scattered light spots, pulling them back to his soul.
Corpse Chief of the Corpse Clan was still in the coffin, but he suddenly released a thick Corpse Qi, which expanded and shrouded the Black Pond.
After a short while, the huge coffin suddenly trembled and emitted cracking sounds. It sounded like someone was gnawing on a bone, and it was extremely terrifying.
Wisps of Corpse Qi also quietly dispersed, but they could not condense.
The three Nether Kings, Abi, Hei Tian, and Hades, remained motionless, still guarding the place where the layers of light and shadows overlapped. Among them, a fleeting shadow seemed to be carefully sensing the movements of the Black Pool.
After a long time, a soul cry that only the three Nether Kings could detect came from the light shadow.
Avici Dark King's face changed. He exclaimed, "Xuanming has already stepped into the realm of the Level Ten Monster Clan. He knows how to use the God Domain. His intent realm can generate consciousness. Even if it's thousands of miles away, it can still transmit to the real body."
His words caused Comoros and Kante of the Corpse Clan to tremble. Shortly after, their expressions returned to normal. The strand of concept that affected them also quietly disappeared.
The Black Water Pool was still silent.
However, the leaders of the five clans didn't look natural at this moment. Only Bao Ao and Jie Ji could pull themselves together, their eyes solemn.
"I didn't expect that this land could have such an intimidating expert of the Monster Clan," Bao Ao contemplated for a while and then said with a low voice. "No wonder. Our clans have been sealed for so many years, staying in the small space crack. Our living conditions are really harsh. Our realms and powers don't improve, but deteriorate. And the Monster Clan is one of the clans besides the Human Clan in the Divine Great Land. They can absorb the energy of this land. "
Everybody nodded.
"Seems like we have to pay attention to the Monster Clan. Xuanming just left a wisp of thought to warn us. He didn't stop us. It means he has a sense of propriety." Jie Ji rubbed his chin, smiling. "Alright. We don't need the Monster Clan to help us. They've lived with the Human Clan for so many years. They haven't experienced our pain. Their grudge against the Human Clan isn't that deep. "
"Be careful. Don't damage this forest too much. This place … is the Monster Clan's territory, "said Bao Ao.
The leaders of the other four clans couldn't help but nod. Under Xuanming's intent domain, they knew how dangerous the Four Holy Beast Clans were, which made them more cautious.
In any era, the Monster Clan was one of the strongest clans.
In the Antiquity Time, many clans had perished. Even the strongest clans had to hide in the cracks of the outer world to survive. However, the Monster Clan was still safe and sound in the Divine Great Land.
From this point, the Monster Clan's reputation wasn't just for show. Xuanming's intimidation had left a deep impression on everybody.
…
City center …
The outer area was dark and hazy. Countless restrictions, barriers, and formations that naked eyes couldn't see crisscrossed, creating a thick spider web in every corner of the city.
Deep underground, tens of thousands of materials were piled up. At this moment, they all glowed with a misty light. Energy flowed like streams, transporting to the barriers and restrictions through special channels to provide energy to the surroundings of the city. That was how the Utmost Eight Purgatories City could stand tall like a mountain, not budging at all.
As soon as Lin Meng, Nie Ruo, and the other True God Realm experts entered this place, they felt like they were dragged into a strange world. They didn't see the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, or flowers. In their eyes, there was only a vast, dead silent area.
Countless barriers and restrictions that people couldn't see were working quietly. Lin Meng and the others suddenly felt like they were sinking into a swamp. Invisible tentacles were stirring their veins and nerves in their heads, which made them uncomfortable.
As they had reached the True God Realm, their blood and Qi were tremendous. Their bodies were like moving volcanoes. Every second, they could release a tremendous energy vibration, which could even resonate with the earth and heaven, urging the energy of heaven and earth to create unimaginable supernatural abilities.
However, as soon as they entered this area, the connection between their bodies and heaven and earth was cut off.
Their perception also seemed to be in endless darkness. It was pitch black even when they opened their eyes. They couldn't touch anything, and they couldn't detect any abnormalities.
Their soul energy was drained, and their Essence Qi was slowed down. The vigorous vitality in their bodies was restrained by some invisible rules. Gradually, their blood and Qi couldn't be controlled.
Weak, senile, and weakened barriers and domains were generated in this area. They changed the rules of heaven and earth, making the energy of heaven and earth chaotic.
Vaguely, the power of barriers, restrictions, and formations were condensed in eight corners, creating eight doors that naked eyes couldn't see, but the soul could touch.
The eight doors were arranged in the East, South, West, North, Up, and Down. They also had two special shapes that were constantly changing. They were called the Eight Extremes, which was the magical feature of this outer area.
Lin Meng and the others could feel it. They followed the feeling of their souls. After a while, they arrived at the so-called Eight Extremes and tried to get in.
Each of them had a sparkling divine weapon in their hands. Waves of fierce energy surged around them, creating special barriers to protect their bodies.
…
Lin Meng came to a door on the East side.
She was startled, her face grimacing. The Original Universe Returning Cauldron in her hand vibrated continuously, buzzing as if it had found something strange.
A person who looked exactly like her stood there. Her clothes, appearance, temperament, and aura were all the same. She was even holding the same divine weapon in her hand: the Original Universe Returning Cauldron.
That Lin Meng looked at her with a cold and arrogant face, just like how she treated the others. She was the master of the Divine Great Land, and everybody should follow her orders.
The aura from that Lin Meng was exactly the same as hers. Even the Original Universe Returning Cauldron seemed to have the same mysteriousness.
At this moment, she was bewildered. She frowned, thinking that there was a mirror in front of her.
Could it be that the so-called East Gate was a realm of the soul that could see through one's heart and reflect one's body?
Lin Meng sneered inwardly. She snorted, her eyes cold and sharp.
In front of her, the other Lin Meng was also laughing. Her laughter echoed clearly. However, that Lin Meng rose her hand, wielding the Original Universe Returning Cauldron to attack her.
Lin Meng discolored in fright. Her soft body shivered, as she suddenly felt insecure.
As the other Lin Meng took action, she was frightened to find that the energy in her body was draining fast. Even the sign of the Original Universe Returning Cauldron's attack, which she was so familiar with, became strange to her.
It seemed the energy that the other Lin Meng was using … all came from her!
How could she fight?
Whether she didn't fight or not, she was defeated.
The other Lin Meng was draining her energy. If she took action, her energy would be drained faster, which meant she had to use twice of her energy. Moreover, it was a battle against a warrior as strong as her. She couldn't win.
Lin Meng's heart sank.
…
Also in a dark corner of the outer city …
Nie Ruo held the Ghostly Spirit Sword, walking to the South Gate that his soul had sensed. He was also startled.
The South Gate was the entrance to the thirty-six Exterminating Caves of the Devil Valley that he was familiar with. Those caves were pitch-black, as if they were hiding countless evil spirits.
Nie Ruo was surprised. He suddenly found that he had become younger, as if he had returned to his youth. At that time, in order to gain recognition, he had no choice but to go to the thirty-six Exterminating Caves.
That year, he was just a kid who wasn't valued in the Devil Valley. He had only the Human Realm cultivation base. His teacher was killed outside. He had to live a tough life alone in the Devil Valley. The woman he loved had left him. She called him trash. No one respected him.
As he knew that he had no hope of becoming famous, he didn't fear death and entered the Devil Valley. When he got there, he had made up his mind. He would either become famous, or he would die.
At that time, he had experienced so many deadly situations in the thirty-six Exterminating Caves. Luckily, he had found the Ghostly Spirit Sword, which had been lost for many years in the Devil Valley. That was the foundation for him to become the Master of the Demon Clan. Finally, he had gained everybody's approval.
The turning point of his life was there. He always knew that if he hadn't crossed that hurdle that year, he would have died a long time ago.
And today, he stood in this place again. Time seemed to be messed up by a hand. He was back, and he had to experience the most unforgettable pain one more time.
