Qiangu Qingfeng's pupils shrank as he was inwardly shocked, "How is it possible? He managed to assimilate my domain forcefully. Is this guy really just a Soul Sage?"

Watching as this domain enveloped the entire training room, a bone-piercing chill began to surge continuously from his legs...

Left with no choice, he burst forth with Soul Power, doing his best to fend off the invasion of the cold...

Seeing this scene, the council members couldn't help but discuss among themselves once more...

"The Vice Tower Master's domain has been completely suppressed, it's simply unbelievable."

"Although he is only of Soul Sage level, with seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings, he can actually match the Vice Tower Master! And even has the upper hand!"

"The question is… how did Elder Xu acquire those hundred-thousand-year soul rings? Although our Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform can increase the age of soul rings, there is a certain range. There has never been a case where one elevated from hundred-year or thousand-year soul rings to hundred-thousand-year soul rings!"

"Wait… Take a closer look, Elder Xu doesn't have a Spirit Soul on him! This means… his soul rings must have been obtained by slaying real hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!"

"Sss… It's really true. In this era where soul beasts are nearly extinct, Elder Xu can actually hunt so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. Could it be that there are soul beast habitats on the Continent that we don't know about?"

Leng Yaozhu narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "It seems this matter warrants a question to Elder Xu. If there really are unexplored soul beast habitats on the Continent…"

If there were enough soul beasts to study, the Spirit Pagoda could attempt to artificially breed soul beasts!

At the same time, Qiangu Dongfeng looked at Xu Sheng with a complex expression, "You are indeed Elder Xu from the Sea God's Pavilion. I underestimated you before, but... please be cautious from now on!"

The first soul ring beneath his feet lit up...

First soul skill, Night Assault Sting!

He tightened his grip on the Purgatory Halberd, and his entire figure transformed into a blurred shadow. Then, with an eerie posture, he started slashing towards Xu Sheng…

When the Purgatory Halberd and the Ice Rose Sword collided, the situation that was imagined didn't happen!

The Purgatory Halberd simply passed through and chopped directly onto Xu Sheng's body…

At that moment, his vision was engulfed by darkness, plunging into temporary blindness...

But he did not use spiritual power to force his way through, instead, his lips curled into a smile, "A spiritual attack? Quite interesting."

It was at this very moment that Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes lit up, "Good opportunity!"

Having been hit by his first soul skill, it would be nearly impossible for the opponent to break free in a short amount of time!

Therefore, he had a chance to defeat his opponent at this moment!

Thinking this, the third soul ring and the second soul ring under his feet lit up in succession...

Third soul skill, Purgatory Rage!

Second soul skill, Purgatory Slash!

The former could greatly enhance the attack range and power of the Purgatory Slash, being his most frequently used attack method!

Without any hesitation, he gripped the Purgatory Halberd tightly and swung it fiercely. A more violent and terrifying burst of purple-black light surged towards the blinded Xu Sheng...

Just as the attack was about to hit Xu Sheng, Leng Yaozhu exclaimed, "Not good! Qiangu Qingfeng isn't holding back with this move. If it lands, it will either kill or cripple!"

She quietly gathered Soul Power, ready to attempt a rescue...

But Xu Sheng moved, he simply waved the Ice Rose Sword in his hand carelessly...

A cold and glinting arc of sword Qi instantly solidified, sweeping forward...

...

Gulping for air, Wu Siduo's beautiful eyes intently fixed on the two soul beasts that lay on the ground before her, devoid of life...

The next second, their bodies vanished, turning into two orbs of light that merged into the former...

Xu Xiaoyan, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but clap her hands in admiration, "Wow... how impressive, to actually kill two ten-thousand-year soul beasts with her own strength!"

Especially since Wu Siduo had not even used her Martial Soul Fusion Skill during the duel!

Taking a deep breath, Wu Siduo then said to Xu Xiaoyan, "Let's go, we must find the others!"

Even she had won with difficulty; she could imagine how troublesome it must be for the others if they encountered the same situation!

Not long after, the group very coincidentally converged at a certain location...

Seeing everyone, Tang Wulin asked with confusion, "Is everyone okay? Why do you all look so pale?"

Xu Xiaoyan replied with a bit of resentment, "Although we're fine, this journey almost turned us into those soul beasts' lunch!"

Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi exchanged glances, then said, "Lizhi and I were also lucky to have escaped. This Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform is terrifying. As soon as we entered, we were surrounded by dozens of thousand-year soul beasts!"

Ye Xinglan frowned and added, "Gu Yue and I had the same experience, we met a ten-thousand-year-old Thunderflame Savage Bear and it took a lot of effort to kill it!"

Gu Yue, with a serious expression, chimed in, "Yes! We were also lucky that the Thunderflame Savage Bear had the intellect of only a few years old; otherwise... the situation would have been much more troublesome!"

Wu Siduo suddenly spoke up, "It seems that, including myself, everyone had a very bad start upon entering this space!"

Who would have known, Tang Wulin blinked his light blue eyes and softly said, "Not really... the soul beasts I encountered were all very weak thousand-year soul beasts. For each one, a punch at their weak point did the job!"

The faces of those around him turned dark all of a sudden, but they didn't know what to say...

Wu Siduo said indifferently, "Alright, now that we've all gathered, let's continue moving forward. Perhaps we'll encounter the Guardian!"

Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes lit up as she said, "That's right, if we can kill the Guardian, we would gain enormous benefits."

Xie Xie pouted and showed a dismissive hand gesture, "Psh... didn't we kill a Guardian last time in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform? All we got was a soul bone, and it's only useful in this space!"

Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and commented, "That's true... but the energy absorbed from killing the Guardian is much purer than that from ordinary soul beasts!"

Tang Wulin urgently said, "Then we should not delay any further and continue moving forward."

Subsequently, the group moved quickly towards the front...

Before long, the environment they were in had already undergone a dramatic change...

The vibrant green forest that surrounded them had imperceptibly transformed into an endless icy gorge, and the bone-chilling cold seemed to tell them that this was no illusion...

Xie Xie involuntarily shivered, hugging himself and said, "As expected of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, this feels... a lot more real than the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform!"

Gu Yue asserted, "Indeed... the level of coldness could definitely be comparable to that of the far northern lands!"

Tang Wulin's eyes flickered with a purple glow as he scanned the surroundings and then warned, "We seem to be inside an ice-sealed gorge. The Guardian is likely to be here, so everyone, be careful!"
