Madness

So you know you're ruthless?

Zhou Qing was at a loss for words when faced with Dugu Bo's self-awareness, but still declined his suggestion.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Only Saundin lives can he truly resolve the issues between him and Mithras. If he dies, who knows if Mithras will turn evil... Zhou Qing doesn't want to truly get involved in this super villain's growth story.

Click!

Just then, a slight tremor came from beneath his feet, which Zhou Qing noticed.

Dugu Bo and Romantina were the last to react.

"The machine hasn't stopped yet?"

Zhou Qing's eyes flickered as he looked at Romantina.

Without hesitation, the latter activated his Second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and his Torso Bone skill, Everlasting Freeze Domain!

An invisible chill emanated from the body, corroding the inside of the "Drop Tower" support and freezing the gears within.

But--

Click!

The Extreme Ice was crushed by the gears within in less than a second.

This is impossible!

Ice Empress shouted within Romantina's Sea of Spirit!

Although Romantina is only a Soul Elder, her original Martial Soul is capable of releasing Extreme Ice. Soul Power can only limit the output of Extreme Ice, and will not reduce the properties of Extreme Ice in any way.

However, the ice formed by the Everlasting Freeze Domain skill shattered at that moment.

What exactly is the gear made of?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed, "Human wisdom truly surpasses imagination!"

"This material is the same as the building materials of the base!" Zhou Qing realized the problem immediately, but now that his and Romantina's Soul Power had only just recovered a little, it was impossible for them to perform a second Martial Soul Fusion.

Dugu Bo refused to believe in evil and also used his Soul Skill, but he could not damage it in the slightest. Even his Jade Phosphorus Dragon Venom could not corrode it in the slightest.

"No need to waste your energy."

The frozen Saundin opened its mouth, and Sisi of white steam rose from its body.

The Extreme Ice—

It's melting!

Zhou Qing could clearly see that various Soul Conductor gears were rotating within the Soul Guidance Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor on the opponent's body, generating a high-frequency vibration.

It was this slight tremor that caused the Extreme Ice to melt.

Everything in the world is vibrating. In fact, if you find the corresponding vibration frequency of everything, even Planet can be broken apart by vibration.

While shattering Planet is only a theoretical possibility, shattering the Extreme Ice is much easier.

After all, everything exists on Planet, and the vibration frequencies produced by the movement of various objects are not uniform. However, ice—even the Extreme Ice —is a single element of matter and energy. As long as the corresponding vibration frequency is found, it can be melted through high-frequency vibration.

The Soul Guidance Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor worn by Saundin clearly has a corresponding function, which can help him find the vibration frequency of the Extreme Ice during the movement of matter and energy conversion at the microscopic level.

"This elevator already existed in this Steel Base. Long before it was discovered by the Abyss People, the ancient civilization that created this Abyss was already using it for related experiments. I simply added some devices later."

"Hehe!"

"I admit that you are very capable, but once you step into this Abyss and are tempted by the darkness, you will definitely become fascinated by it!"

"And it is precisely because I have noticed this that I yearn for the light!"

Bang!

In an instant, the Extreme Ice surrounding Saundin shattered.

Dugu Bo grabbed Saundin by the neck, trying to control her.

Buzz—

An invisible sonic wave emanated from Saundin's Soul Guidance Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor, covering the entire arena.

"Ah!"

Riko covered her ears and knelt on one knee.

Zhou Qing, Romantina, and the Rabbit Girl were also unable to bear it. Their veins bulged, they gritted their teeth, and their Soul Power surged restlessly within them.

Even as Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo found it difficult to control the flow of Soul Power within his body. He had to stop, stabilize his body, and use his powerful Spiritual Power to control the flow of Soul Power within his body, maintaining the stability of the Inner Scenery Space within his body.

Although the Inner Scenery World is a three-dimensional space independent of the outer world, it is based on the human body. If the human body is damaged, it will also become unstable. In severe cases, it may even cause the three-dimensional space to shatter.

The sonic attack emitted by Saundin can disrupt the circulation of Qi and Blood, the operation of Soul Power, and even affect the most basic Life activities of human cells.

Ordinary Titled Douluo would have bled from all seven orifices long ago if they encountered such a strong sound wave. It was only because Dugu Bo constructed the Martial Cauldron Soul Furnace based on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Primary Meridians and opened up the Inner Scenery World that he was able to maintain his balance.

Zhou Qing and Romantina's cultivation methods were so perfect that they were able to barely sustain themselves.

Riko...

Blood was flowing from all seven orifices, but she still managed to hold on, throwing herself onto Mithras and hugging her tightly. She said, "It's okay," before collapsing and fainting.

But the worst off was Mithras herself. Perhaps because her brain and spine had been pierced with corresponding Soul Guidance Device, she was unable to faint. Her whole body began to twitch involuntarily, and her skin began to bleed.

"That bastard!"

Zhou Qing tried to use his Mind-Sense Qi Field, but under this strange sound wave, his Qi and Blood and qi were turbulent and his Soul Power was difficult to control. He was unable to coordinate the three treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, qi and spirit in his body. He could only watch helplessly as the gears of the elevator turned and continuously accumulated potential energy.

Bite!

Finally, the potential energy accumulated to a certain critical point, Saundin stopped releasing sound waves. The entire platform, like an arrow released from a bow, carried everyone, including Zhou Qing and Romantina, rapidly upwards.

Because of the sound waves, Zhou Qing, Romantina, and Dugu Bo's Aura Field were unstable, which affected them to some extent, and they were unable to adjust immediately.

The downward airflow impacted everyone on the platform.

Those wearing helmets trembled violently, bleeding profusely, their flesh torn apart, their features contorted, and finally turning into bizarre, twisted clumps of flesh and blood of indistinguishable species. They fell from their seats, disintegrated in the air, and plunged into the Sea of Corpses, where they were fought over by carnivorous fish.

Mithras's form was also rapidly changing. His helmet shattered, revealing a head riddled with needles. His hair fell out in the wind, his eyes began to bulge outwards, and his limbs slowly shortened, turning into puddles of mud-like substance that dissipated with the airflow.

The Fourth Layer of the Ascension Curse is pain and bleeding throughout the body.

Like Riko, who had been awakened by the pain, every inch of her skin was soaked with blood, turning her into a blood-soaked figure.

Mithras and the others who had already scattered were wearing devices that clearly amplified the Ascension Curse inflicted upon them, causing them to begin transforming into Fallen One...
