Still Ghost Possession!

At the same time, Xiao Yan subtly unleashed his terrifying soul power, which had already reached the Mid-Stage Spirit Realm.

Now, with his vast soul power alone, he is comparable to Dou Zong powerhouse.

With a slight thought, an invisible soul power spread out, transforming into countless strands of soul threads under the cover of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol's power, merging into the shadows of the chaotic battlefield.

Xiao Yan does not attack people proactively, but at crucial moments, he uses his thread-like soul power to precisely seize the weakness of a powerful opponent, like a pair of dark hands stirring up trouble in the shadows, making the already chaotic battle even more bloody and unpredictable.

In one battle, a stalemate that was initially evenly matched was disrupted when one of the fighters was interfered with by a strand of soul energy. His hand seals changed a beat too late, preventing him from successfully unleashing a defensive Dou Technique. His opponent seized the opportunity and killed him with a single blow.

A powerful figure who was about to reach the edge of the prayer mat suddenly felt a pull from the ground beneath his feet, causing him to pause slightly before being engulfed by several streaks of Dou Qi attacking from the side.

Xiao Yan, like a calm chess player, used the most covert methods to accelerate the depletion of pieces on a chaotic chessboard.

His gaze remained fixed on the ten prayer cushions, while his soul power focused on the Soul Hall members lurking in the shadows.

Queen Medusa concealed her seven-colored Dou Qi, clearly ready to strike. She was just waiting for Xiao Yan's command before unleashing a terrifying and chilling attack from this cold and beautiful Snake-Person Queen!

Zi Yan was eager to try, but Xiao Yan stopped her with a look.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, and then at the cold, unfathomable eyes of the young man beside him, Si Yuan became even more determined to follow in Xiao Yan's footsteps.

Time passed amidst the carnage.

The number of living people inside the main hall is decreasing at a visible rate.

Of the original nineteen forces, less than half are still standing, and everyone is injured and has exhausted their Dou Qi.

Corpses and the seriously wounded lay scattered on the ground, the blood almost staining the ground red.

The ten ancient prayer cushions, set against the backdrop of blood, appeared eerily crimson. It was as if this was not some great opportunity, but rather the source of disaster!

The deafening roar and piercing screams intertwined in the hall, creating a symphony of death.

Blood mist filled the air, severed limbs flew everywhere, and the violent Dou Qi energy, like an out-of-control torrent, left shallow marks on the ancient dark golden rocks.

The ten ancient, fragrant prayer cushions had now become the center of a bloody vortex.

Shi Tian remained indifferent. The phantom of a golden lion tore apart a Two-Star Dou Zong was trying to approach his seat. Blood splattered all over his face, but he didn't care. His eyes were only on the seat he was protecting behind him. The beam of light from the bronze mirror in Elder Tianbao's hand pierced through the chest of a Dou Zong. The latter didn't utter a sound and fell asleep immediately.

Xie Shan was surrounded by swirling poisonous mist. Many people were wary of his poisonous skills and were unwilling to fight him head-on, instead releasing various streams of Dou Qi spirit for long-range attacks.

The Crown Prince of Tianxin Empire was as safe as a rock, protected by four Five-Star Dou Zong.

The remaining seats now have "defenders" who are facing attacks from the other powerful figures from various sects.

"They're almost all dead. The vultures of the Soul Hall are probably about to lose their temper."

Xiao Yan, with his indifferent gaze, seemed to have sensed something upon seeing this scene, and said softly.

Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, something unexpected happened!

"Hehehe... A bunch of ants, how dare they lay a finger on such a divine object? Get out of my way!"

The chilling laughter, like a biting wind from the depths of hell, swept through the entire hall, carrying a terrifying pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.

A pitch-black figure, shrouded in an intensely thick, eerie black mist, emerged like a ghost from an inconspicuous shadow in the main hall!

It was none other than the Three-Star Dou Zun of the Soul Hall!

His attack was a deadly move: several thick chains, coiled with eerie black flames, like venomous pythons from hell, pierced through space with a shrill shriek that tore through it!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Several muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously.

Several Dou Zong powerhouses who had just repelled their opponents and were about to rush towards the prayer mat, including a powerful elder from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, froze instantly.

Their chests or heads were precisely pierced by those pitch-black Soul Lock!

The black flames clinging to the chains burned wildly, not only devouring their life force but also tearing apart and binding their souls!

"Ah--!"

The shrill, desperate screams abruptly ceased. These individuals, who were considered powerful figures in the Northwest Continent, were as fragile as paper before the Soul Hall's Dou Zun, and died instantly!

Their bodies rapidly withered, their souls forcibly extracted by chains, transforming into several distorted streaks of light, which were then sucked into the Soul Bag in the sleeve of the Dou Zun with a sinister grin.

"Soul Hall!"

"It's Dou Zun expert!"

"How could there possibly be Dou Zun expert?"

The survivors, including top Dou Zong such as Shi Tian and Elder Tianbao, were all horrified, their faces instantly drained of color.

The terrifying pressure and ruthless methods instantly snapped them out of their frenzied greed, leaving them only with boundless fear.

Their bodies stiffened, and at this moment they even wanted to give up the futons they had already obtained and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The Soul Hall Dou Zun had no intention of letting everyone leave. His gaze, like that of a venomous snake, swept coldly over everyone. Then, with a wave of his arm, several figures emerged from their concealment, brandishing Soul Locking Chain and attacking the group.

Judging from their aura, they were actually eighteen Soul Hall Protector at the level of Five-Star Dou Zong or above!

"Move! Leave no one alive!" The Soul Hall Dou Zun coldly issued the slaughter order.

The eighteen Soul Hall Protector, like tigers among sheep, used their dark chains, accompanied by mournful ghostly howls, to attack the survivors who had already exhausted most of their Dou Qi and were covered in wounds, with precision and ruthlessness.

Screams, the cracking of bones, and the agonizing howls of souls being torn apart echoed through the hall once more, but this time, it was no longer a fierce melee between evenly matched opponents, but a one-sided and highly efficient massacre!

When Shi Tian saw one of his Dou Zong elders besieged and killed, his eyes widened in fury. He roared, and the golden lion phantom pounced on a Soul Hall Protector was charging towards him.

However, the opponent merely flicked the chains dismissively, and the black flames containing a strange suction force easily entangled the golden lion phantom, rapidly devouring and dissolving its Dou Qi. The chains, like venomous snakes, pierced straight into the Shi Tian's heart!

Shi Tian tried his best to block, but was still sent flying backward, his blood and qi surging within him!

Peak Dou Zong!

Sensing the opponent's strength, Shi Tian's expression turned extremely ugly.

Even if the Soul Hall Dou Zun didn't make a move, these Soul Hall Protector, whose strength was at least Five-Star Dou Zong, were more than enough to surround and kill everyone here!

The poisonous fog of Xie Shan seemed to lose most of its effectiveness in the face of the Soul Hall Protector's powerful strength and bizarre methods. He was quickly hit by the Soul Locking Chain, and his soul was taken away.

The Three Elders of Mulan's Three Beast Wild Technique was like child's play in the face of an absolute difference in strength. Their method of transferring power to one of them was utterly laughable under the one-on-one attacks of the three Soul Hall Protector. No matter how much one of them increased in strength, he could only barely cope with the attacks of the Soul Hall Protector. The other two were directly pierced by the chains and died on the spot.

Elder Tianbao smiled mysteriously, and was about to say something when the Soul Hall Dou Zun appeared beside him like a ghost. With a flick of his wrist, the chain silently pierced through his protective Dou Qi and went straight for his back!

Elder Tianbao only had time to let out a short scream before the chains pierced him and his soul was forcibly torn out.

"Why!"

The Elder Tianbao's soul, twisted by pain, only managed to utter three words before being sucked into his Soul Bag and silenced.

"What does the Vice Hall Master mean by this?"

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince of the Tianxin Empire's expression changed.

He was somewhat aware of the Soul Hall's scheme.

Seeing that the Soul Hall was actually attacking its own ally, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

With only four retainers by my side, I'm in big trouble today!

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Lion Underworld Sect... all the remaining forces were like clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of the Soul Hall's elite force, and were quickly and cruelly eliminated.

Inside the main hall, the stench of blood was overwhelming, and corpses piled up, resembling a living hell.

In the corner, Xiao Yan and his six companions remained as still as rocks.

Si Yuan's hand trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock and relief. If Xiao Yan hadn't given a warning and chosen to hide, the three from the Heavenly Snake Mansion would probably be among the corpses on the ground by now.

But why is my brother-in-law still so calm?

Could it be that he has some other trick up his sleeve?

Queen Medusa's seven-colored Dou Qi fluctuated slightly, her cold, beautiful eyes locked onto the Soul Hall Protector in the arena, but a solemn look appeared in her eyes.

Although she knew Xiao Yan had the ability to deal with those guys, this situation still made her feel very troubled.

If she were to face this situation, she would likely die without a doubt!

It's still not strong enough!

Zi Yan also looked at the Soul Hall Protector, who were all much stronger than her, with some apprehension, feeling that her own strength was still too weak!

She wants to become stronger!

At this moment, the two sisters, one a dragon and the other a snake, began to understand why Xiao Yan was so eager to become stronger and cultivated like crazy every day.

The opponents are all strong individuals of this caliber; if one doesn't possess sufficient strength, they will likely perish in some unknown corner sooner or later.

"Lord Si Yuan, how about we join forces? If we manage to escape this time, I will definitely report to my father and ask him to award the championship of this Sect Assembly to the Heavenly Snake Mansion. What do you say?"

At this moment, the Crown Prince of Tianxin Empire, who had noticed them slacking off, quickly asked for help.

"Yan Alliance, this..."

In front of outsiders, Si Yuan still used polite titles, but his eyes held an inquiring look.

"Now that you've let the wolf into your house, you realize your mistake? It's too late!"

Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at the Crown Prince of Tianxin Empire, his expression as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Interesting, so we didn't even notice you before?"

Hearing the exchange between the two sides, several Soul Hall Protector who had freed up their hands also turned their gazes toward Xiao Yan and his group of six.

"Tsk, the scum of the Soul Hall is still as disgusting as ever."

Xiao Yan took a step forward, protecting everyone behind him. With a thought, he channeled the powerful soul power of Venerable Skyfire into Xiao Yan's body, causing Xiao Yan's aura to surge instantly!

A vast and powerful soul pressure, like an invisible tsunami, suddenly spread out from Xiao Yan, instantly dispelling the eerie oppressive feeling brought by the Soul Hall Protector.

To everyone's astonishment, his cultivation level skyrocketed from Three-Star Dou Emperor to the Peak Dou Zong, and finally crossed that huge chasm, settling steadily at the level of One-Star Dou Zun!

"Dou Zun?! How is this possible!"

A Soul Hall Protector who was about to pounce suddenly narrowed his eyes and cried out in alarm.

They clearly sensed that the other party was just an ordinary Dou Emperor, so how did he suddenly possess the pressure of Dou Zun level?

"Hmph, all show and no substance! He only temporarily reached the Dou Zun level by relying on external forces. At best, he's just Pseudo-Dou Zun, with a weak foundation and utterly vulnerable!"

The Soul Hall's Three-Star Dou Zun, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority, had a cold, venomous gaze. Although there was a hint of surprise, there was more disdain than anything else.

He saw through the essence of Xiao Yan's sudden surge in power at a glance. It must be some kind of secret technique to temporarily boost strength. Although such a method could temporarily elevate one's realm, it was far less stable and lasting than that of a true Dou Zun. What could a Dou Emperor possibly know about Spatial Strength?

Naturally, it is also impossible to fully unleash the profound mysteries of the Dou Zun Realm.

"Pseudo-Dou Zun?"

Xiao Yan grinned, then stretched out his hand and shook hands firmly with everyone in the room!

Space Strangulation!

The next moment, the space seemed to have fine, disordered fault lines. All those targeted by Xiao Yan were torn apart by the shattered space, their limbs flying everywhere. With a casual gesture, Xiao Yan completely imprisoned their souls with a terrifying, invisible force, and then Xiao Yan found a Soul Hall Protector's Soul Bag and put it inside.

The entire hall fell silent.

"Space Strangulation? How is that possible!?"

Watching Xiao Yan use the Space Strangulation with even greater skill than himself, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall Heaven Burial Ravine Branch voice became somewhat shrill due to its dryness.

Xiao Yan did not answer the deputy hall master's question, but instead focused on sensing the power within his body.

With his Mid-Stage Spirit Realm soul power, if he were to fight using soul skills, he could put up a fight against even Dou Zun- level expert.

With the added power of Venerable Skyfire's powerful soul force, Xiao Yan was now confident that he could directly confront a Five-Star Dou Zun expert!

This deputy hall master is only Three-Star Dou Zun; Xiao Yan is very confident in his own strength!

As for the Space Strangulation technique, Venerable Skyfire and Old Yao had already taught Xiao Yan about it. With Xiao Yan's talent, learning this move was as easy as drinking water.

In other words, his current strength is insufficient, only Three-Star Dou Emperor. If he were to improve further, he might even be able to directly master the use of Spatial Strength at the Dou Emperor level.

"Next, it's your turn!"

Xiao Yan looked at the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall Branch, and the moment his words fell, silver-gray lightning flashed, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Upon hearing this, the Vice Hall Master's pupils contracted. He was completely unable to detect Xiao Yan's sudden movements. Was this guy's speed really that terrifying?

As the thought arose in his mind, he felt a sharp, thorny sensation on his back. He quickly dodged forward and twisted his body to attack the area behind him.

A massive, jet-black ruler, wreathed in crimson light, came crashing down!

Flame Splitting Devouring Wave Ruler!
