Professional Soul-Collecting Brothers-Who's the Hall of Souls Elder, Anyway?

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan, who had suddenly appeared, with delight, and felt much more at ease.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you possibly seal off my Space Power? You're just a Nine-Star Dou Zong. Even if you used a secret technique to contend with Dou Zun expert, your mastery of Space Power shouldn't be this proficient!"

The Demon Flame Tian Zun roared in disbelief.

"No, you don't understand me, nor do you understand the Space Power."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, then raised his hand and clenched his open palm into a fist. Behind him, the two Soul Hall Dou Zun expert trapped in the ice coffin were actually crushed by the Space Power! Seeing this, not to mention Demon Flame Venerable, even the Pill Tower Grand Elder Qiu Ling's eyes widened.

It's important to understand that even he couldn't kill two Dou Zun expert by Space Power! Perhaps only the three giants at the Dou Zun Peak could easily suppress those two Soul Hall Dou Zun using Space Power! Xiao Yuan's current aura only appears to be at the level of Five Star Dou Zun, so why is his control over Space Power at such a level?! Even Xiao Yan, who understands Xiao Yuan best, was completely bewildered by this scene.

Has Third Brother gotten stronger again?

"Could it be that you've been hiding your true strength?!"

Even after racking his brains, Demon Flame Tian Zun could only come up with this one possibility.

"If you think that hiding your strength means not showing off in a big way, then that's fine. The Three Thousand Burning Flame are not easy to deal with, so I hope you surrender and save me some energy."

Xiao Yuan casually waved his hand, and the shards of ice on the ground vanished. An astonishingly hot power erupted from Xiao Yuan's body! "You arrogant brat! You dare to spout such nonsense after defeating a piece of trash like Mu Gu with just a secret technique. Today, I'll show you my true power!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's dismissive words, Demon Flame Tian Zun's face darkened, and a scorching aura erupted from his body, with dark red flames surging forth.

"Burning Heaven Demon Flame?"

Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the dark red flames.

This Burning Heaven Demon Flame is one of the most top-tier Beast Fire flames, the natal Beast Fire of the Eighth-Rank Magical Beast demonic beast, the Burning Heaven Demon Ape. Its heat and explosiveness are almost comparable to some of the lower-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Even Cao Ying's Blood Demon Flame is slightly inferior to this Burning Heaven Demon Flame! In the distance, the Three Thousand Burning Flame looked at the dark red flames with a hint of covetousness in its eyes.

For it, the Beast Fire was definitely an excellent tonic!

However, it could also sense that within Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's bodies lay something it craved even more: Heavenly Flames!

If we can devour and refine these two, even the Pill Tower Three Giants won't be a match for it! "Xiao Yuan, let's join forces to deal with him!"

Qiu Ling didn't see anything wrong with bullying the weak with numbers, and immediately made the suggestion.

"Great Elder, rest assured, I am capable on my own. I just need you to keep an eye on the movements of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, lest that fellow take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and spoke through telepathy.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling immediately understood Xiao Yuan's concerns. He stepped back slightly, protecting Xiao Yan and the others while keeping his aura firmly locked onto the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame didn't care much about this, after all, in its eyes, everyone in the arena was trash. The only ones it feared were the Pill Tower Three Giants! "Forget it, let's finish this quickly!"

Knowing all along that the people of the Soul Hall would not obediently surrender as he commanded, Xiao Yuan shook his head, then reached out and clenched his fist, and dark golden flames burst forth from his palm, transforming into a dark golden fire ruler.

"Eat one foot of my food first!"

Azure Lightning Flash beneath Xiao Yuan's feet, and his figure vanished like a ghost. When he reappeared, the dark golden fire ruler was already condensed with terrifying energy, and he slashed down furiously from mid-air behind the Demon Flame Tian Zun!

Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler! Starting with Earth Rank Dou Techniques, Xiao Yuan had no intention of testing anyone; from the very beginning, he was going all out!

Bang! The sound of metal clashing rang out. Xiao Yuan glanced over and found that the Demon Flame Tian Zun had indeed used the black chains that the Soul Hall had uniquely used to restrain soul bodies. However, the chains were still covered with dark red flames.

"Hehehe, taste my Ten Thousand Souls Heavenly Lock!"

As the chains lashed out, a savage glint flashed in the eyes of the Demon Flame Tian Zun, and a cold laugh rang out along with the clanging of the chains.

Countless jet-black chains, made of unknown materials, burst forth from the sleeves of the Demon Flame Tian Zun, intertwined and crossed, and finally stabbed fiercely at Xiao Yuan!

"Laugh!"

However, given Xiao Yuan's speed and agility, he was not about to be easily caught off guard. A flash of azure lightning appeared beneath his feet, and he instantly appeared in mid-air, forming a hand seal at lightning speed! A surge of powerful Dou Qi qi erupted out, condensing into a crystal-clear hand seal in front of Xiao Yuan.

Sky Annihilation Seal! Xiao Yuan slapped the handprint, and the handprint shot out, shattering the countless black chains flying in the sky inch by inch with unstoppable force! Emperor Imprint Skill!?

When Demon Flame Tian Zun saw the unstoppable, crystalline handprint, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, where did this kid get this Dou Technique?

As Hall of Souls Elder at the Heavenly Venerable level, his knowledge was naturally extremely broad. Therefore, he fully understood that someone capable of Emperor Imprint Skill was definitely not someone he could easily provoke! However, this mission was personally assigned by the Hall Master, so its importance was self-evident. Offending someone capable of Emperor Imprint Skill would at worst mean death.

But if the mission is not completed and the Palace Master is displeased, then even death may be a luxury!

After a fierce internal struggle, a ruthless glint flashed across Demon Flame Tian Zun's face. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble! Demon Flame Tian Zun's hand seals changed with lightning speed, and then a sharp shout came from his mouth.

"Life Soul Lock, manifest!"

With a whoosh, the sharp shout had barely faded when an unusually loud sound of steel scraping against steel rang out in the void. To everyone's astonishment, a massive black mist, ten zhang in size, suddenly erupted from the crown of the Demon Flame Tian Zun's head. As the black mist writhed, a ten-zhang-long jet-black chain, resembling a ferocious giant python, appeared in this Void Space.

The jet-black chains looked extremely magnificent. The surface of the chains was covered with strange runes, and countless faces with mournful expressions were frozen on the chains. As soon as the chains were released, terrifying and shrill screams rang out continuously, causing everyone to frown slightly.

"He's even unleashed his Life Soul Lock; it seems this old man is going all out."

Upon seeing this, a solemn expression crossed Qiu Ling's face, and he slowly spoke.

What is this thing?

Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"The Soul Hall's methods are unpredictable and mysterious. I don't know much about this so-called Life Soul Lock either, but I do know that it is the ultimate weapon of the Hall of Souls Elder. The Life Soul Lock is connected to their souls, and if it is damaged, it will cause them extremely serious harm. Therefore, they will not use the Life Soul Lock unless absolutely necessary. This thing is powerful, but the risk is too great."

Qiu Ling glanced at the battle circle, then said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. This Soul Hall was indeed very strange, as it was able to cultivate such bizarre things.

However, this Life Soul Lock was indeed quite powerful. After only a moment of stalemate, it shattered the Crystal Layer Handprint of the Sky Annihilation Seal and then shot towards Xiao Yuan.

"One seal isn't enough, how about four?"

Xiao Yuan was not surprised by this. The desperate move of a Five Star Dou Zun was naturally terrifying, but the combined power of the four seals of the Emperor Imprint Skill was not to be underestimated! His hands danced like butterflies flitting through flowers, and a series of complex hand seals were formed at a dazzling speed. Crystal Layer Handprint appeared in front of Xiao Yuan, forming four huge energy circles.

Mountain Splitting Seal, Sea Flipping Seal, Earth Overturning Seal, Sky Annihilation Seal —four seals superimposed! Xiao Yuan swung his waist and slammed out his palm. The four Crystal Layer Handprint overlapped one after another, finally transforming into a dazzling crystal-layered palm, forcefully shattering the space inside the Star Region. Wherever it passed, dark Space Rift appeared, which were then automatically repaired.

Under everyone's gaze, the crystalline hand, like a meteor from outer space, slammed into the massive and terrifying chain with unparalleled force.

Boom! The moment the two collided, a terrifying energy wave erupted. If it weren't for the presence of powerful Dou Zun level experts like Qiu Ling, Qinghua Old Freak, and Wang Yuan Dan in the crowd, the aftershocks of this attack would likely have caused injuries to weaker individuals like Song Qing.

Now everyone understands why Xiao Yuan will be one of the next Pill Tower Three Giants.

At such a young age, not only can he refine Rank 8 Pill with Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning, but he can also fight Five Star Dou Zun to a standstill. Hmm? The thought had barely formed in everyone's minds when they were shocked to find that the enormous, seemingly terrifying chain had been shattered into pieces, and a series of ear-piercing sounds, almost like howls, rang out one after another! "Pfft!"

At the same time, the old face of the Demon Flame Tian Zun turned pale, and then a mouthful of bright red blood uncontrollably spurted from his mouth.

Demon Flame Tian Zun felt he had really hit the jackpot, actually accepting such a one-way mission! Although he didn't know much, he understood that even among the Ancient Clan, no one could possibly unleash the Four Imprint Stacked Emperor Imprint Skill at the level of Five Star Dou Zun! Just what kind of monster is this Xiao Yuan?

The collapse of his Life Soul Lock caused him to suffer a terrible backlash. However, seeing Xiao Yuan still calm and composed, and even able to easily unleash a four-seal stacking attack, Demon Flame Tian Zun knew that he had no chance to deal with Xiao Yuan anymore! "Xiao Yuan, I will remember you. From now on, the Soul Hall will be your lifelong nightmare!"

Demon Flame Tian Zun let out a bitter laugh, and then his body rapidly expanded. He then pushed off the ground and charged towards Xiao Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, watch out! This guy's about to self-destruct!"

Seeing this, Great Elder Qiu Ling quickly offered a reminder.

"Self-destruct? You think I slapped you for nothing?"

Xiao Yuan watched the approaching Demon Flame Tian Zun, but he was not flustered at all, and even laughed out loud.

The next moment, he formed a strange hand seal, and his body was surrounded by a flowing Five-Colored Light.

At the same time, the Demon Flame Tian Zun's expression suddenly changed! Because he sensed that a strange energy had suddenly appeared within his body, eroding his life force!

"The Primal Chaos Qi Transformation transforms into the five elements!"

As he silently chanted in his heart, Xiao Yuan reached out and shook hands with the Demon Flame Tian Zun.

The Demon Flame Tian Zun was frozen in mid-air, its previously swollen body deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon.

The light in his eyes also faded away at an extremely fast pace.

Soon, the aura of the Demon Flame Tian Zun weakened to the point that no one could detect it. Then, Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and the Demon Flame Tian Zun's body turned into fragments and fell to the ground. Only a Storage Ring, a Soul Bag, and a dark red flame remained in place.

Glug.

Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone's throat bobbed, and they exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding what had just happened.

Xiao Yan seemed to be deep in thought. He remembered that his Third Brother had mentioned some information about that mysterious cultivation method, and the so-called Primal Chaos Seal was also extremely magical. It could be used as a means of attack, as well as to benefit oneself or others. Perhaps it was a wonderful use for attack just now.

With his soul power, he naturally sensed that the life force and Dou Qi of the Demon Flame Tian Zun were extracted by his Third Brother in a very short time. The person was dead, and the Dou Qi was gone, so naturally he could not self-destruct.

"You underestimate me too much. Hiding in a spatial interlayer within my sealed space? Are you just burying your head in the sand?"

Xiao Yuan's gaze swept towards a certain spot in the void, and then he casually slapped out with his palm. A terrifying force swept over and knocked out a phantom figure from the void.

"Xiao Yuan, don't go too far in your actions!"

Demon Flame Tian Zun's soul was already injured from using his Life Soul Lock, and now he was slapped hard by Xiao Yuan. His already weak soul became even more ethereal, and he cried out in a somewhat pitiful voice.

?

These words made Xiao Yuan laugh.

"Weren't you just saying I was arrogant? You said you wanted to show me what you were capable of. Now you're regretting it?"

Xiao Yuan sneered and slapped out again, this time towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan understood instantly. He spat out the Fallen Heart Flame from his palm, skillfully trapped it inside, stuffed it into a jade bottle, and stored it in his Storage Ring.

???

As everyone watched the two perform their routine with practiced ease, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Damn, this feels like what a professional looks like?

Xiao Yuan ignored what everyone was thinking and turned to fly towards his spoils.

However, at that moment, a dark shadow crashed down from above with a terrifying gust of wind.
