Slaying a Dou Sheng

Bang bang bang!

Above Holy Pill City, deafening roars echoed through the sky, and terrifying energy fluctuations swept wildly across the heavens.

Even the Space Barrier that had been shrouding this area at some unknown time was shaken and rippled violently, with faint cracks spreading out.

Xuan Kongzi was fighting against Four Venerable Elders enemies when he spotted an opening. He gave a cold laugh, clenched his fist, and unleashed a punch at the four of them from a distance.

"Pfft!"

A punch struck the void, and as space shattered, four incredibly terrifying invisible fist imprints pierced through the void, landing on the chests of the four men with extremely strange trajectories. Immediately, the sound of bones breaking rang out, and four mouthfuls of bright red blood, along with some broken internal organs, spurted from their mouths. Then, under that terrifying force, they crashed headfirst into the city below, their fate unknown.

With a single punch, all four Dou Zun were defeated. Such strength truly befits one of the Three Great Giants of the Pill Tower.

In a single exchange, he had already frightened the four Dou Zun Experts from the Hall of Souls into retreat. Xuan Kongzi did not continue the pursuit, but instead glanced around and, finding that the situation had stabilized, flew directly towards Xiao Ming's location.

At this moment, Xiao Ming and the Great Heavenly Venerable were enveloped in a distorted, dreamlike, perfectly round sphere, making them difficult to see clearly.

Outside the sphere, the Small Pill Tower Great Elder stood in the void, staring at the sphere with a rather solemn expression.

"Great Elder, how is Xiao Ming?"

"He is currently engaged in a soul battle with the Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable," the Great Elder said softly, withdrawing his gaze.

"Calling it a battle of souls isn't quite accurate; it's more accurate to say he was unilaterally crushing the Hall of Souls Great Heavenly Venerable. After all, even I felt an immense sense of pressure from his Soul Power..."

At this point, Old Monster Lin's face showed a strange expression. He had spent countless years cultivating to this point, and now he had been surpassed by a junior in his early twenties. It was truly a strange experience.

He had been so eager to stop the Great Heavenly Venerable when Xiao Ming was attacked, but now it seems he underestimated Xiao Ming.

"A battle of souls?" Xuan Kongzi was taken aback, then looked at the sphere, but couldn't see anything.

"Your Soul Power is far too weak; you can't see it. Even I, an old man, can only barely sense it," said Old Monster Lin.

"Should we help Xiao Ming?"

"We can't help you. As soon as you get close, your soul will be pulled into it, and any long-range attacks will be annihilated by Xiao Ming's powerful Soul Power. Besides, he doesn't have much trouble dealing with the Great Heavenly Venerable, so we don't need to intervene." Old Monster Lin shook his head slightly.

"Has Xiao Ming really grown to this level?"

Xuan Kongzi was momentarily dazed. He remembered when he first met Xiao Ming, the other was merely a Dou Zong, whose soul had just broken through to the Ling Realm. Although he had long known that Xiao Ming's talent was unparalleled in the history of the Pill Tower and that he would sooner or later become a pivotal figure on this continent.

But only a few years have passed, and the Dou Sheng is already unable to defeat his opponent. This speed of growth makes him feel like he is in a dream.

"Boom!"

An explosion rang out, startling Xuan Kongzi awake. Coming to his senses, he spoke to Old Monster Lin.

"We implore the Great Elder to resolve this matter. You Yun, Sen Luo, Holy Pill City are now ours to handle."

You Yun and Sen Luo were the two strongest fighters besides the Great Heavenly Venerable in this attack by the Soul Points. Both were Advanced Ban Sheng, and they had been led into the void by the other elders early on.

"It's time to bring this matter to a close." Old Monster Lin nodded, his figure slowly merging into the space and disappearing.

Watching Old Monster Lin disappear, Xuan Kongzi breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked around at the battle. After all Holy Pill City was the main base of the Pill Tower. Most of the families in the Central Region were affiliated with the Pill Tower, so from time to time, streaks of light flew in from afar and joined the battle against the Hall of Souls's experts. At this time, the Pill Tower had many more experts and was suppressing the Hall of Souls.

Some of the Hall of Souls's experts were unable to hold on and wanted to retreat, but the Hall of Souls Vice Shopkeeper's head had already been twisted off by Xiao Ming, and the Great Heavenly Venerable was being tortured by Xiao Ming with Heavenly Rank Soul. Without anyone in charge, they could only struggle to hold on.

"Those scum from the Hall of Souls have come today, and they won't leave easily." With a fierce glint in his eyes, Xuan Kongzi flashed into the crowd and Battle Begins.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ming opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Finally got it. I didn't expect this Great Heavenly Venerable to be so stubborn; it took me so long."

The sense of time in the Silent World is much slower than in the outside world. Normally, once Xiao Ming dragged him inside, he could finish the battle in a Xiao Ming breath. However, the fact that the Great Heavenly Venerable could withstand such torture for so long is enough to show that he is not a coward who would confess everything if he was scared. In the end, Xiao Ming tortured him until his mind was somewhat unclear before he finally got the information he wanted from him.

"However, now that we have the intelligence, we can no longer let you live."

Xiao Ming looked towards the Bone Blade not far from him and saw the Great Heavenly Venerable standing in the sky, his soul Aura extremely weak, but he was not completely dead.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Xiao Ming's mind stirred, and the enormous soul spheres surrounding him instantly transformed into a giant hand, pulling the Great Heavenly Venerable to his side. Xiao Ming's figure finally appeared before everyone.

Xiao Ming's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. The Hall of Souls experts were shocked when they saw the half-dead, hunched figure beside Xiao Ming.

"The Great Heavenly Venerable has been captured!"

"How is this possible!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That must be fake!"

"Quickly! Retreat!"

"..."

Unlike the people from the Hall of Souls, the people from the Pill Tower, though also surprised, immediately gained several levels of momentum after the initial shock.

"Hahaha! You scum of the Hall of Souls, your Great Heavenly Venerable has been captured! Undying?!"

"Trying to run? Where do you think you can run to!"

"..."

Some bystanders were simply shocked.

"Damn, is that Xiao Ming? He's holding a Dou Sheng in his hand! Where did this monster come from?"

"I say, could it be that Xiao Ming is possessed by some old monster who has started cultivating again?"

"..."

Ignoring the shocked gazes around him, Xiao Ming directly used his soul power to snap the Great Heavenly Venerable's neck and then stored his corpse in his Na Ring.

At the level of Dou Sheng, one can be said to be a treasure trove regardless of race, so Xiao Ming naturally wouldn't let it go. As for the Great Heavenly Venerable's soul, Xiao Ming didn't extract it because the Great Heavenly Venerable's soul had already been annihilated by him using the Silent World. The faint soul Aura he sensed earlier was just a tiny remnant of the physical body.

Seeing the Great Heavenly Venerable being crushed to death by Xiao Ming, the Hall of Souls experts were terrified.

Finally, they gave up the fight and flew away into the distance.

"Trying to run?"

Xiao Ming glanced at it and was about to make a move, but a terrifying sense of danger emanated from it, forcing him to stop.
