The Soul Beasts All Disappeared

As the system began its operation.

Lin Yue could clearly perceive a terrifying, intangible wave of containment, covering the entire Douluo Continent, sweeping outward from him in an instant!

There was no earth-shattering roar, no brilliant display of light; everything occurred in complete silence.

Star Dou Great Forest, the core habitat for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, was filled with towering ancient trees and the chorus of ten thousand beasts.

Previously, soul beasts were everywhere here; hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts were common, while Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts occupied the core regions, their roars shaking the mountains and forests, brimming with vitality.

Yet at this very moment, all the beast roars and insect chirps came to an abrupt halt.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent slithering through the forest, the small deer soul beast drinking by the lake... from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts down to the lowest-level soul beasts that had just awakened their soul power, all of them were snatched up by an invisible hand in the same instant, vanishing without a trace.

The once-bustling forest became deathly silent in a heartbeat, leaving only the rustling of wind through the leaves; it was terrifyingly empty, not even a shred of soul beast aura remaining.

"What is going on?"

"Where did that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent go?"

"Did it run away?"

Chao Tianxiang was in the middle of a standoff against the Shrek group with her granddaughter Meng Yiran when the dying Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent suddenly disappeared.

Chao Tianxiang immediately looked at Zhao Wuji with suspicion: "Speak, did you lot do this? Where did you hide that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?"

"Old woman, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"I should be the one asking if you did something!"

"Which eye of yours saw me pull a trick?"

Hearing Chao Tianxiang's accusation, Zhao Wuji immediately jumped up and roared in anger.

"Even if it wasn't you, it must have been those brats behind you!"

"Otherwise, how could that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent just vanish?"

Seeing that Zhao Wuji didn't seem to be lying—and having kept her eyes on him the whole time, knowing he had no opportunity to act—Chao Tianxiang turned her gaze toward Tang San and the others.

"Senior, given our cultivation levels, how could we possibly make such a large soul beast disappear without a sound?"

Seeing this, Tang San stepped forward and said calmly.

"Could it be that the snake has the ability to turn invisible?"

"Did it take advantage of our distraction to turn invisible and run away?"

Dai Mubai also stepped forward to analyze the situation.

"We should hurry and search for it, otherwise it really will get away!"

Oscar was more anxious than anyone else at this moment.

Hearing this, Chao Tianxiang on the opposite side also realized the situation.

At this time, they should prioritize finding the soul beast; if it escaped, their arguing would be pointless.

Therefore, Chao Tianxiang immediately said, "In that case, this old woman will search with you. Once we find it, we can discuss the ownership of the soul beast again."

"Fine, let's find that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent first!"

Zhao Wuji had no objections.

And so, both sides began to act together.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, there were many others experiencing the same situation as Tang San and his group.

They had all watched helplessly as the soul beasts they were tracking, fighting, or preparing to deliver the final blow to for a soul ring, abruptly vanished before their eyes.

Every soul master who witnessed this scene was stunned at first.

They just didn't know that it wasn't just the soul beasts they were looking at that were gone, but that all soul beasts had disappeared.

Otherwise, they would have been even more devastated.

As for all of this, Lin Yue, the culprit, could foresee that many soul masters would be alarmed the moment the soul beasts vanished, even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

What he hadn't foreseen was that this scene would happen right in front of the Shrek Seven Devils!

But these things had nothing to do with him for the moment, and Lin Yue wasn't concerned with them.

His entire focus was now immersed in his Containment Space.

The Containment Space was a world unto itself.

The more soul beasts contained within, the larger the space became.

At this very moment, after Lin Yue had contained all the soul beasts, the entire containment area had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation.

Before today, Lin Yue's Containment Space was merely a forest.

And now?

Not only had the forest expanded, but several more forests had been added, along with many mountain ranges, plains, lakes, deserts... every type of terrain imaginable.

The largest area was the ocean.

Because the vast majority of those contained were sea soul beasts.

The entire Containment Space had truly become a world unto itself, roughly half the size of the entire Douluo Planet!

Immersing his consciousness into the Containment Space... or perhaps it was more appropriate to call it a world!

Lin Yue, with his mind submerged within the Containment World, could clearly perceive everything inside and knew exactly which soul beasts he had contained.

There was the Silver Dragon King, still in deep slumber; the system was truly impressive, having placed her directly into a hidden pocket dimension to allow her to continue sleeping.

The Silver Dragon King likely didn't even realize she had been contained.

There were also Xiao Wu's two younger brothers, Daming and Erming, the fierce beasts that wouldn't have emerged for another ten thousand years, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King from the ocean, and the Ice and Snow Emperors from the Far North...

Even the low-level soul beasts that had just awakened their soul power, those with only a single year of cultivation, had all been brought in.

Among them, the most numerous were the Blue Silver Grass!

"Roar--"

"Who is it?"

"Come out!"

"Who captured us soul beasts and brought us here? Show yourself..."

"..."

Unlike the low-level soul beasts, which were merely surprised by the change in their environment after being forcibly brought in and simply went back to doing what they were doing, the powerful soul beasts immediately sensed that something was wrong and were filled with shock and rage.

Some went into hiding, some roared incessantly, and others went mad; their reactions varied.

Holy crap, it actually brought them all in for me...

The soul master world is truly going to collapse now!

Lin Yue was also cursing in his heart, his inner excitement reaching a fever pitch.

He was very curious to see what kind of reaction the soul master world would have once they discovered that all the soul beasts had vanished.

He believed it would be quite a spectacle.

As for those soul beasts trying to hunt down the culprit behind this, he offered no response.

He would not easily appear before those powerful soul beasts; he was no match for them as he was now.

He had simply utilized the system's powerful containment ability to bring them all in at once.

He still needed to carefully consider how to utilize and domesticate the soul beasts within the Containment Space moving forward.

[Ding~ The Containment System has successfully brought all soul beasts in the world into the Containment Space.]

[Ding~ None of the soul beasts contained in this operation have been domesticated, so they cannot provide feedback to the host. Please domesticate them yourself!]

The system's prompts rang out in Lin Yue's mind once again.

Lin Yue ignored them and asked directly:

"System, is the Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin in here?"
