"These dead souls are either taken as blood sacrifices for magic treasures, refined into pills, or suppressed and sealed, serving as materials for sacrificial rites."
Ye Tiancan’s tone carried an ancient sorrow.
Ye Chen, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, and the blood dragon, upon hearing this, all felt their hairs stand on end.
If it were merely sacrificial soul refining treasures, it wouldn’t be a big deal, after all, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor is a Demon Dao Sovereign who has refined countless vengeful ghosts.
However, to seal souls and suppress them, sacrificing to the heavens, denying them eternal release, is a method so cruel that even the Sky-covering Demon Emperor would not resort to it.
It is evident how ruthless the methods of the Emperor Abyss Palace are.
"Samsara Master, if you wish to leave, I can lend a hand."
Ye Tiancan’s eyes suddenly turned resolute, and his soul body began to burn, emitting strands of golden light.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The prohibition runes on the surrounding mountain walls immediately began to vibrate, their aura becoming chaotic.
"Having been suppressed for endless ages, I have always wanted to escape. I have also researched these runes’ laws. Though not fully mastered, shaking the runes’ aura is still a piece of cake."
As Ye Tiancan spoke, the burning of his soul intensified, golden flames engulfed him, and the aura of the surrounding prohibition runes became completely disordered.
"Great opportunity!"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s eyes focused: "Now that the prohibition runes have been shaken, if we join forces, perhaps we can break out!"
"Indeed!"
The blood dragon also nodded; this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to escape, not to be missed.
"Senior Tian Can..."
Ye Chen gazed at Ye Tiancan, his heart shaken; the latter had burned his soul to secure an escape opportunity for them.
"Samsara Master, many thanks for the rescue, I can now transcend in peace."
Ye Tiancan’s gaze was benevolent, his body blazing with golden flames, and his soul body was instantly consumed, strands of golden light wildly scattering, impacting the surrounding prohibition runes.
The fluctuations of the prohibition runes grew increasingly intense.
"Take action!"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor was the first to act. He pointed a finger in a lethal strike, channeling all the power of his demon body into his fingertip.
"Good!"
The blood dragon roared and also swung its claw, striking towards the Prohibition Iron Wall.
"..."
Ye Chen saw Ye Tiancan dissipate, momentarily dazed, but quickly regaining composure, he took a deep breath and delivered a mighty punch.
"Om!"
Ye Chen’s entire body vibrated, and an ancient syllable erupted from between his bones.
This syllable, surprisingly, was not from his throat but radiated from between his bones!
In an instant, golden light erupted from Ye Chen’s fist, roiling and transforming into an ancient character, the word "Om"!
"Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique! When did you learn the Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique?"
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor was utterly shocked at this scene.
At this moment, Ye Chen was exuding overwhelming Hongmeng Aura, seemingly enveloping the heavens and earth, shocking and awe-inspiring.
He never expected that Ye Chen had mastered the Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique, and his cultivation progress was formidable, having reached the stage of Bone Sound, wielding it effortlessly, integrating the Hongmeng Sound into his physical punches, an inconceivable feat of perfect harmony.
Rumble!
Ye Chen’s colossal Hongmeng fist, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s overwhelming finger, and the blood dragon’s claw, gleaming with endless blood light, fiercely struck the Prohibition Iron Wall.
Immediately, the Prohibition Iron Wall shattered.
All the runes were instantly obliterated.
Crack!
The entire mountain wall completely exploded as well, dust rolling, stones flying.
"Master, we did it!"
The blood dragon was overjoyed, having finally broken through the iron wall, external spiritual energy surged in, restoring his aura.
The Sky-covering Demon Emperor also had surging demonic qi emanating from his body, and even standing casually, he had the grandeur to crush the heavens and devastate mountains and rivers.
Ye Chen also bore a look of joy between his brows.
In breaking the prohibition, it was his strength that was most crucial.
The Hongmeng Sound, with its immense destructive power, even using the sheer force of bone alone would manifest Divine Might. The prohibition runes laid by Emperor Abyss Palace were crushed beneath his Hongmeng Sound, obliterated without a trace.
Of course, Ye Tiancan’s sacrifice, and the assistance of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and the blood dragon, were undeniable factors.
Rumble!
Behind Ye Chen, the ground shook.
