Chapter 117: Soul Demon

  "Guys who like to hide in the shadows? Those fools from Golden City? Are there others in this first layer of space..."

  After hearing the purple-robed woman's words, Ye Han immediately came to his senses. He looked around the first layer of space and found that apart from a large number of low-level demons bustling about, there was no sign of anyone else. However, since even the purple-robed woman had appeared here now, Ye Han wouldn't find it strange if someone else showed up too.

  He just found it a bit funny, this place has almost become a public venue. All the relevant people have arrived, but the host of the Bru Xi Niuzi tribe seems to be completely unaware, which is really strange.

  However, the phrase "underground likes to hide in shadows" from the purple-robed woman's mouth seems to be referring to the so-called "holy devil" mentioned by Sim and Zita. And who are those fools in the Golden City? Ye Han thought he was quite familiar with some common knowledge around the Empire of Bimont, but recently a series of events had left him with many questions about people and things. He vaguely sensed that perhaps what he understood was only the surface of this world.

  Time passed minute by minute, and the countless low-ranking demons in the first layer of space were still busy, surrounding the giant broken black temple. The iron array pattern seemed to have been laid out at a critical juncture. Large heavy iron blocks with dense patterns carved on their surfaces were only solidified with precious divine iron liquid on the surface, lifted by several low-ranking demons humming and hawing, buried deep in the ground according to the previously divided positions after digging large pits.

  If someone were to look down from above, they would discover that the locations of these Iron Towns form a huge six-pointed star, with layers upon layers. The central region is precisely where the gigantic, ruined black demon temple lies.

  The so-called "sacred" boundary-breaking space array method used for communication also seems to have expanded to its limit.

  A massive array unfolded, with clear ripples swirling on its surface, wave after wave surging forward, like a calm and peaceful lake. In fact, it was the fluctuation of spatial tides. From the center of that dark space array, as if communicating with another abyss, came intermittent, faintly audible, thunderous roars, as if something was about to squeeze out. It made one's heart tremble...

  "They're almost done setting up, and if that saint really comes out later, things will be bad. Do we still need to wait?"

  Ye Han raised his head and took a glance at the side of the purple-robed woman's perfectly white and delicate facial features.

  "Wait! Of course, we have to wait. Why not? Don't worry! Those guys in the Golden City who've cultivated their brains into muscle knots are definitely more impatient than us. If it weren't for their meddling, just the two of us would find it hard to get our hands on this broken little world left behind by the Demon Saint."

  The woman in purple clothes stretched lazily, revealing a tempting chin under her hood and veil, she seemed very confident.

  Before her words had even faded away, the red lips beneath the white veil opened slightly as she suddenly spoke up.

  "Here I come!"

  "Here it comes. What's coming?"

  Ye Han hadn't reacted yet, just thinking of lifting his head to ask, when suddenly his face changed drastically. He turned his head back abruptly. Amidst the thunderous explosion, a massive golden light column burst out from among the dense demonic creatures, shooting straight up into the sky as if it was going to pierce through the heavens. In the vast lower-dimensional space, it stirred up rolling white air waves that swept violently in all directions.

  The first layer of space was filled with countless low-level demons, which suddenly erupted into a huge commotion. One by one, they let out sharp cries and frantically counterattacked towards that area.

  Faintly, a low male voice seemed to hum a note, and the location of the golden light pillar, the air and time seemed to suddenly stagnate. Then, an instant explosion erupted, countless low-level demons were directly turned into powder, with expressions of unextinguished terror on their faces before they died...

  "What's that?!"

  Ye Han's eyes changed, but before he could continue speaking, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly came from the sky, Ye Han abruptly lifted his head.

  The air was filled with a loud noise, and a gigantic bird with golden feathers, over 100 meters long, spread its enormous wings, like a celestial phenomenon, shooting towards us like an arrow off the string.

  The twin wings flapped, stirring up a whirlwind that swept across the land, as if its body was the domain, and everything obeyed its command. In the sky, a massive tornado over 1,000 meters high was stirred up, carrying with it sand and dust from the ground, piercing through the heavens and earth. At the center of the tornado, where there was no wind, the enormous golden bird hovered in mid-air, its golden eyes coldly staring down below, high above all else, as if the countless demons below were nothing but ants.

  "The Heavenly Bird Descends, the Golden City Falls, Born as Wind, Ten Thousand Miles of Empty Space, and it's Actually the Great Wind Bird in the Golden City! No wonder it was hidden for so long without being discovered? The Golden City has really gone all out for this elite disciple training session. They have the 'Nine Extremes Golden Earthquake Instrument' which can detect the tremors from the explosion of the Western Wastes' Treasure Mountain, looks like they're taking this very seriously, even sending a Golden Divine General! Unfortunately, they don't know that what appeared this time is actually a broken small world, otherwise they probably wouldn't have just sent this many people!"

  Looking at the scene in the sky, under the white veil, the purple-robed woman muttered to herself with great interest, and a few words clearly explained the origin and motivation of this group of people.

  Ye Han knew that this was intentionally said to himself, although he still had some resentment about being half-coerced and half-lured by the purple-clothed woman onto this pirate ship, but the anger in his heart had lessened a bit.

  "Aren't we going to make our move yet?"

  Ye Han looked at her and said.

  "No rush, this is just the beginning. In the Golden City, except for a small number of people, most have trained their brains to be nothing but muscle-bound. Relying on a single Golden God and these little guys, they think they can get this broken little world? It's simply delusional, even if they add that big wind bird it won't work. A soul demon who has entered the 'Void Secret Ability Path' is a major figure even in the underground world, born cunning and skilled at manipulating souls, but not so easy to deal with! Just watch, they're going to take a big loss."

  A soft voice came from the purple-robed woman behind the bamboo hat and veil.

  Her words had just finished, in the midst of a massive tornado that swept across the sky and earth like a golden whirlwind bird. A wind slide appeared, extending all the way to the ground.

  Many figures slid down the wind ladder, with over a hundred of them, both men and women, looking young in age but with a fierce aura that couldn't be underestimated, all radiating a faint golden glow, instantly charging into the area where the demon was located.

  The first layer of space was filled with a vast number of demons, like a flood that instantly engulfed everyone. They could only be identified by the occasional flash of golden light that emanated from them, revealing their positions.

  At this moment, it seems that the fruit of one's own victory is about to be plucked by others. From the other side of the spatial channel, a loud roar of great anger echoes through. With a loud rumble, the boundary channel seems to have trembled slightly, and the terrifying black dense demonic aura spreads out.

  A huge, bony claw stretched out from the broken boundary passage with a loud rumble...

  In the distance, a loud whistling sound suddenly rose from the massive golden pillar that pierced the sky. The golden pillar collapsed with a loud crash, transforming into a rolling golden river. A tall and majestic warrior deity clad in golden armor emerged, riding on the waves of golden air. Two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes, and with a long whistle, a giant golden sword resembling a coiled dragon moon knife burst forth from behind him, transforming into a massive blade of light that slashed towards the enormous black withered claws protruding from the broken boundary passage...

  "It's time for us to take action."

  At this time, the purple-robed woman suddenly opened her vermilion lips behind her veil and said.

  "What? Take action?!" Ye Han frowned.

  But just as the purple-robed woman's words had fallen, a sudden change occurred. A furious long whistle was heard.

  On the ground, a loud rumble suddenly occurred, and 'Weng...' seemed to have triggered some kind of massive fluctuation. Countless strange symbols rose from the ground, immediately forming a huge inverted triangular solid seal formation that trapped the Golden God General inside. He let out a long roar, his entire armor shining with golden light, the Golden Sunset Blade in his hand bursting forth with massive golden blade energy, exploding into countless rays of golden light within the solid inverted triangular seal formation.

  The entire three-dimensional seal formation shook violently, but it was still extremely solid. Although it was impossible to trap the golden god general forever, for the time being, he couldn't get out either. But during this period of time, it was enough for that 'saint' to break through from the underground world.

  In the sky, a golden large wind bird was stirring up a huge tornado with abandon. Even its eyes were icy and unfeeling gold. It let out a long cry in the sky, flapped its wings, and was about to stir up a massive tornado. Just at this moment, countless cold black ancient runes rose from the ground, connected into a huge black chain in the sky, shot out from all sides, and formed a complex three-dimensional rune array, instantly locking the body of the golden wind bird.

  No matter how hard its massive body struggled, the sharp long cry was unable to break free in the sky for a short time.

  These runes didn't have any extravagant hopes, just enough to temporarily trap them for a short time. That was all the saint needed to break out from the underworld. The soul demon had made its move earlier, not intending to confront them head-on, but rather to lure the Golden General into using his full strength and trigger the formation's counterattack.

  It's clear that they've all been deceived. The Soul Demon had already made preparations to be absolutely safe beforehand, and the large number of divine iron talismans buried underground were not only for blasting the defensive array of the Temple of Gods but also for trapping and controlling the enemy.

  Everything is ready, this demon of the soul controls the soul, sees the weaknesses in human nature, even in the underworld, it is one of the most difficult to deal with ancient demons, can be said to be flawless.

  "This soul demon is indeed formidable, thinking of everything, no wonder it's known as the most capable of controlling people's hearts in the underworld, and the most terrifying plotter who can see through souls. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that there's an anomaly like you here, so this broken little world will just have to be a bargain for me."

  At this time, the purple-robed woman smiled under her veil and looked at Ye Han, saying.

  "Now it's our turn."
