WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
WHOOSH! When hundreds of strange souls and ghosts shot out of the stone ceiling, the Fiendish Demon Cauldron that had risen into the air suddenly rippled with black light.
SPLASH!
The Fiendish Demons that had just been refined flew out of the mouth of the cauldron, roaring.
Consort Han, who had taken on a corporeal, sparkling and translucent form, also flew out of the seats on the seventh floor of the cauldron. Like a god made of ice, she exuded piercingly cold soul light. CRACK!
CRACK!
Consort Han waved her hands and slashed at the ghosts that were in the shape of lions and tigers, cutting them in half at the waist with her icy soul blades.
The separated soul shadows were frozen by the cold power, and icy light sputtered everywhere.
Under Consort Han's attack, the suit of armor that had been flying out of the cauldron was also entangled by wisps of cold soul will and stopped flying upward.
"Soul Split!"
The cauldron's soul's soft cry rang out in the depths of Nie Tian's mind.
The Fiendish Demons that had left the cauldron rearranged themselves in a formation in the air according to their previous trajectories and reformed into the Soul-splitting Formation.
Last time, the "Soul Split" formation had been formed by seven hundred Fiendish Demons that hadn't been refined.
This time, it was formed by nearly a thousand Fiendish Demons that had been refined and formed in a brand new way.
As soon as the "Soul Split" formation appeared, a terrifying aura suddenly spread out from the center of the formation, shattering all souls and otherworldly items, and crushing them into powder.
The "Soul Split" formation was like a giant net that spread out towards the souls and ghosts.
The moment the first soul entered the net, it didn't even have the slightest chance to resist. It was reduced to ashes almost instantly, not even leaving behind a fragment of its soul.
All of the souls and ghosts that had some intelligence immediately flew up in fright when they saw this result.
They didn't have time to save the mysterious woman in the armor.
"Hehe."
Yu Yuan, who was standing in the palace below, looked up and grinned. He was very satisfied with the power of the "Soul Split" formation.
"What's the origin of the spirit sealed in the rose pattern by Liu Linzhi? What's the origin of that spirit?"
He rubbed his chin and couldn't help but think seriously.
After Liu Linzhi had been devoured by the Second Fiend Demon, the mysterious woman's soul spirit must have been able to secretly tamper with the sealing formation's veins without Liu Linzhi's help. She must have been able to continuously inject soul energy into the sealing formation after Liu Linzhi had been devoured by the Second Fiend Demon.
What Yu Yuan found strange was that the subtle changes in the patterns must have been done by her in secret.
This woman should have regained her intelligence long ago and witnessed Liu Linzhi's death in secret, so she did not dare to act rashly and silently waited for an opportunity.
If he hadn't noticed the change in the patterns and ordered the Baleful Demon Cauldron to extract her soul, the woman wouldn't have shown herself.
Because she knew how terrifying the Fiendish Demon Cauldron was, she didn't want to make the same mistake as Liu Linzhi. Therefore, she would rather expose herself and escape.
The hundreds of souls and ghosts that came to receive her might have learned of Liu Linzhi's death through his scattered subordinates. That was why they hid on Yin Mountain and waited for the right opportunity.
"To be rescued by so many souls and ghosts, she must have some background. Could it be … an Heavenly Ghost on the same level as Liu Linzhi?" Yu Yuan's eyes lit up.
Heavenly Ghosts sealed their strength in the Land of Terror and were comparable to the Yang Gods of the human race.
Liu Linzhi was an Heavenly Ghost, but like the Second Fiend Demon, he used to be a member of the Blood God. Their soul auras were similar, but he was restricted by the rules of the Fiendish Demon Cauldron and couldn't become another top ranked Fiend Demon.
This made Yu Yuan feel slightly regretful.
If the woman sealed in the rose armor was another heavenly ghost, she might have been pulled into the Fiendish Demon Cauldron to refine her. She might have become the third most powerful fiendish demon after Concubine Han and the Second Fiend Demon.
"Extract the soul spirit!"
Yu Yuan shouted.
At this time, he saw that the armor couldn't fly up anymore because Consort Han's cold soul power had penetrated it.
The Fiendish Demon Cauldron had flown to the top of the armor at a steady pace.
The cauldron faced down and slowly swallowed the armor.
But this time, the armor couldn't escape.
"Uuuu."
The mysterious woman's strange cry came from the rose pattern inside the armor. When the remaining souls and ghosts heard the cry, they howled and flew out reluctantly.
They knew they couldn't save her, but they heard her orders and were forced to retreat.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Soul Splitter formation changed. It wrapped around dozens of souls and ghosts and pulled them into the small world inside the cauldron.
The cauldron's soul's happy voice immediately sounded. "These can be refined into new Fiend Demons! Once they become Fiends, their ranks won't be low. They can be ranked on the third or fourth step! In the Land of Terror, the souls and ghosts that can take form are all powerful. It's just that not all souls and ghosts are suitable for Fiend Demons. "
The cauldron's soul told him that only a portion of souls and ghosts with strong auras and obsessions could be refined into Fiend Demons.
Most of the souls and ghosts couldn't withstand the small world inside the cauldron and would melt during the refining process. It would waste the cauldron's soul's time and energy. The loss outweighed the gain.
Fortunately, the cauldron's soul knew very well which souls and ghosts were suitable for Fiend Demons and which weren't.
"Extract her soul spirit from the armor and let me see it," Yu Yuan ordered.
"Master, please come in. It'll be done soon," the cauldron's soul said.
Yu Yuan didn't expect it to be done so quickly. He was stunned for a moment before he flew into the Fiendish Demon Cauldron, which slowly sank and turned around. A breath later, he entered the small world inside the cauldron.
Liu Linzhi's armor landed on the black iron-like ground inside the cauldron. A seemingly gentle and quiet figure floated on top of the armor.
The figure was that of a female Yin Spirit.
The woman looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. She had a delicate figure and wore a long, gray robe. Her face was filled with anger as she said, "I'm a cultivator of the Tianyuan Continent's Taiyuan Sect. My name is Jiang Xingwen. I have no grudge against you. What do you mean by capturing me and not letting me go? "
"Taiyuan Sect?!"
Yu Yuan was stunned. He carefully sized up the woman who had come to the Land of Terror to temper herself and said, "What's your cultivation base?"
"Middle Soul Wander Realm," Jiang Xingwen said reluctantly.
"Soul Wander Realm? Middle Soul Wander Realm? " Yu Yuan's expression flickered with astonishment as she asked, "How did Liu Linzhi capture him and seal him in the Sea of Roses with such a powerful cultivation base?"
"This is the Land of Terror. He has the strength of a Heavenly Ghost and is familiar with this place." Jiang Xingwen was somewhat ashamed. "I left my true body in the Tongtian Trading Company. I can't use many artifacts, spirit arts, and secret arts. My knowledge of the Land of Terror isn't as good as Liu Linzhi's. Isn't it normal for me to be at a disadvantage? "
"Since you know I killed Liu Linzhi, why didn't you come out?" Yu Yuan snorted coldly and questioned, "Hiding in that rose, are you trying to play tricks in the dark?"
"I..."
Jiang Xingwen was angry. "Liu Linzhi is dead, and I can't break free immediately. Two days ago, I found some cracks in the formation because of the loss of power. That's why I secretly changed the formation and gained the power to escape. But I didn't know who you were, so I didn't dare to act rashly. "
"When did you come to the Land of Terror?" Yu Yuan asked again.
"More than two years ago. I came to the Land of Terror to strengthen my yin soul. There was a Heavenly Ghost who was on good terms with our Taiyuan Sect. I was cultivating in his Yin Mountain." Jiang Xingwen frowned slightly. "He was killed. When I escaped, I was targeted by Liu Linzhi. I was weak to begin with. Then, he captured me and sealed me in that rose.
"Liu Linzhi was a Heavenly Ghost transformed from a human yin soul. He wanted to find me to learn about the situation in the outside world and when he would devour my yin soul. That's why he kept me alive.
"I didn't die because that time hadn't come yet."
Jiang Xingwen explained.
Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and then changed the topic. "The Taiyuan Sect entered the Land of Terror two years ago. Do you know Su Yan? Do you know Su Yan from the Su Clan in the Demon Moon Empire? "
"She, she's my disciple," Jiang Xingwen said with a strange expression.
"Uh."
