Chapter 1096: Chapter 500: The Great Black Sky that Wears Down the Soul, Brothers Stand Together_2

"As long as you brothers unite, you might be able to hold out in the formation until the Illusion Domain ends..."]

"Pah! The White Elephant Demon spat viciously, ’Man conquers heaven’? It knows nothing of ’man conquers heaven’; it only believes in karma!"]

["It has wanted to smash you with its hammer for a long time; if it has endured until now, isn’t it because it fears the Buddha’s punishment? Now that it knows it cannot escape its doom, does it need to endure you any longer?"]

[Suddenly, endless black air scattered, transforming into several hazy and indistinct human figures...]

[These figures, like resentful spirits, had translucent bodies devoid of substance, with an overall greenish-black hue, three eyes wide open, bristles standing on end, and wore crowns with five skulls, each brandishing a Crescent Blade.]

[These one hundred and eight grotesque and hideous protector spirits were known as ’Extreme Evil’s Great Black Sky’!]

[More than a hundred ’Great Black Sky’ charged towards you and the White Elephant Demon...]

[The White Elephant Demon’s face changed drastically, abandoning its verbal dispute with you, wielding its iron hammers with brutal ferocity, and shifting from defense to full-on attack!]

[One by one, ’Great Black Sky’ spirits dispersed under the strikes of its hammers, only to be reborn in the distance and rejoin the battle...]

[You knew the White Elephant Demon’s actions must have significance. Facing the other half of the ’Great Black Sky’ charging towards you, you also raised the ’Demon Subduing Evil-suppressing Vajra Pestle’ in your hand and attacked with all your might!]

[The souls of these ’Great Black Sky’ spirits were not sturdy, unable to withstand your full-force attacks, much like the original ’Asuras.’]

[While your weapon could strike at their souls, it could not block the Crescent Blades in their hands.]

[The Crescent Blades, formless and void, could ignore the defense of your Vajra Pestle, piercing through your weapon and slashing at your body!]

[In an oversight, you were ambushed by a ’Great Black Sky’, struck at the lower back...]

[You have been attacked by a soul attack!]

[Soul Strength -1]

[Current remaining Soul Strength 6/7]

Lin Xun only felt as if his head had been viciously stabbed by a knife, and the world spun around him.

His face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but look horrified.

"Damn it! This thing can actually cause soul damage!"

Lin Xun had encountered countless types of monsters in the game, but apart from the Library’s special product ’Bookmark of Annihilation’, he had never seen a regular monster capable of bypassing the Shell and inflicting soul damage.

Monsters could only destroy the Apostle’s body first, and then proceed to damage the soul.

[Meanwhile, the distant White Elephant Demon was also caught off guard by a ’Great Black Sky’ and ambushed, letting out a cry of pain, its expression twisted, sweating profusely from the forehead in agony...]

[You both are deeply ensnared within the ’Great Black Sky’ encirclement, attacked from all sides. If you persist under such conditions, it won’t be long before your souls are dispersed!]

Although Lin Xun had just received nine Lotus Seeds that could restore Soul Strength, even more Soul Strength couldn’t withstand such an onslaught.

If the Soul Strength dropped to zero, he possessed the Soul Mystery ’Unextinguishable Fire’, which meant his soul wouldn’t be extinguished, but he couldn’t avoid the reduction of his maximum Soul Strength.

"Damn it, this Execution Evil Hall is truly sinister. The ninth-difficulty Chapter even features monsters that can damage the soul..."]

[Immediately, you activated the ’Appearance of the Queen Bee’, summoning the consciousness of the ’Primitive Ancient Dragon’ once again.]

[Instead of transforming it into an Ancient Dragon, you kept it in its Dragon Humanoid Form to fight back to back with you!]

[Because you knew the massive size of the Ancient Dragon would mean receiving more attacks simultaneously. In its Ancient Dragon Form, if you slipped up, you would instantly be killed!]

[Not with the destruction of the body, but with the extinguishing of the soul!]

[You fought with the ’Dragon Man’ back to back, one holding the Vajra Pestle, the other gripping the Dragon Spear, and the pressure was significantly reduced. Because you faced fewer enemies at the same time, you could focus more on avoiding damage and defeating your opponents!]

[Seeing you silently call out an ’External Incarnation’ to fight alongside you, the distant White Elephant Demon couldn’t help but feel so irritated its teeth itched. Unfortunately, it hadn’t mastered such great divine powers and had to fight alone.]

[It wanted to propose joining forces against the enemy, but having just hurled harsh words, it struggled to swallow its pride. For a moment, it was caught in a dilemma.]

[Not long after, when ’Great Black Sky’ struck it again, its face turned ashen. It finally resolved to set aside its dignity and was about to speak, but then it heard you bellow from a distance...]

[Big brother, what are you dallying for? Come over and join forces against the enemy! You’re barely holding on!]

[After all, you and it were brothers from the same sect, with no deep-seated hatred like an ocean of blood. If you didn’t set aside your differences now, soon your souls would truly scatter!]

[The ’White Elephant Demon’ was startled, as your current state seemed much better than its own, showing no signs of barely holding on.]

[It knew you spoke in such a way out of consideration for its feelings, leaving it with mixed emotions that were hard to bear.]

[Just half an incense stick ago, it had hurled abuse at you, vowing to crush you under its hammer, and now you lightly glossed over it...]

[Not allowing the ’White Elephant Demon’ to ponder further, it seized a good opportunity, let out a loud shout, and swung its hammer in a sweeping arc, blasting all the surrounding monsters, scattering their souls!]

[It then immediately stamped its foot, leaping behind you. ]

[It stood back to back with you and the ’Dragon Man’, the three of you jointly facing the enemy...]

[With the strong ’White Elephant Demon’ joining the fray, the battle finally stabilized. You killed enemy after enemy without suffering any more soul injuries.]

[While fighting, the ’White Elephant Demon’ struggled for a while before finally saying... Thank you, thank you very much.]

[Its voice was like that of a mosquito, somewhat indistinct.]

[You deliberately asked, Huh? Big brother, what did you say? Your voice was too low, I didn’t catch that...]

[The ’White Elephant Demon’s face alternated between red and white, infuriated by you to the point of itchiness in its teeth and nearly getting hit by ’Great Black Sky.’ It gritted its teeth and said, Nothing! If you didn’t hear, then just drop it!]

[After a while longer, it sighed, and then continued to say to you, now you both are facing the third level of the Execution Evil Illusion Domain, with one hundred and eight ’Great Black Skies’. ]

[These demons can bypass the flesh to harm the soul, not because they possess endless divine power but because both you and it were unaware that your souls had left your bodies, being within the ’Execution Evil Formation’.]

[Therefore, the formation could directly harm your and its souls.]

[The first four levels of the Illusion Domain were set up by the Bodhisattva to punish those within the formation, with the intent not to kill but to torment. The real killing moves are in the last two levels of the domain.]

[In the past, an ’Anagami’ (Immortal+ Level Divine) who had reached the Third Rate Fruit Position got trapped inside, ground down to soul dispersion by the Bodhisattva, unable to pass through the last two levels.]

[Dragon Demon... Sigh, little brother, although you are a bit sharp-tongued, it knows your heart isn’t bad. You just don’t want to be forcefully taken as a disciple by the Bodhisattva, which is why you’re putting up resistance.]

[When they first joined the sect, which one of them had truly wished from the bottom of their hearts to submit and become someone else’s mount or plaything?]

[You shouldn’t have to die here... Unfortunately, even if you join forces with it now, you could at most hold out until the fifth level of the Illusion Domain.]

[Yet you shook your head and said, That’s not necessarily the case. Big brother, do you still remember what you said before about ’man’s determination can overcome fate’?]

[The ’White Elephant Demon’ paused, about to argue but seeing your confident demeanor, it decided not to speak the discouraging words and jeopardize your morale.]

[Although it said nothing, from its expression, you knew what it was thinking.]

[You continued, Big brother, if you don’t believe it, why don’t we make a bet?]

[If we both manage to leave the ’Execution Evil Hall’ alive, that means I win. Otherwise... there’s not much to say about otherwise, as failure naturally results in death and the end of our paths.]

[What do you say, big brother? Do you dare to make this bet?]

[The ’White Elephant Demon,’ seeing your composure, couldn’t help but secretly wonder whether you were deceiving it or truly had full confidence.]

[Regardless of what the ’White Elephant Demon’ was thinking, your words ignited a flicker of hope in its heart.]

[It replied, Let’s bet! What’s there to fear about not betting! What’s the wager? Tell me!]

[You smiled slightly and said, The wager... Talking about the wager now is still premature. After we escape from the Execution Evil Hall with our lives, it won’t be too late to claim the wager then!]
