Wang Teng held the Crystal Skull in his hand, carefully probing it with his Spirit Power. Only after confirming that the Black Bandits Leader had completely dissipated did he finally relax.

The so-called Nether Burial was, in truth, a forcible stripping and tearing apart, causing nearly irreparable harm to the Soul Body.
