Change in the Heavens

"You're guaranteed to die today. You have only two choices now: either turn to ashes, or tell me what exactly you're doing, along with the coordinates of every Evil Soul Mark. I can leave you a corpse."

Gu You's face was cold and indifferent. When dealing with villains, ruthlessness was all that mattered.

"But either way, I'll die!" Berserk Battle, this rough old man, actually shed a tear. It seemed he had truly been frightened.

"You have ten seconds to choose! Otherwise, I'll choose option one for you."

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" After a fierce mental struggle, Berserk Battle finally agreed with vacant eyes.

There would be no trace left behind, not even a corpse in this world.

Letting it slowly rot would at least leave something behind.

He was not getting past this ordeal today...

"Our lord, our boss! He's that Soul King—you should've noticed him when we came in. We came to this area to collect the souls of ordinary people who accidentally wandered in. As for what those souls are ultimately used for, I don't know. And the Evil Soul Marks you mentioned—I know even less. This is only my first time coming here to harvest souls. My other brothers have done it many more times. You should ask them."

Having said that, Berserk Battle sighed. "That's all I know. Whether you kill me or do something else, it's up to you."

Pfft!

Berserk Battle blankly stared at the short sword condensed from fire element that had pierced his heart. An extreme chill surged into his heart and engulfed his body.

Then he fell straight backward...

"Whether to kill you or do something else? How ridiculous." Gu You pulled out the blade.

"Did you really think I'd show mercy?"

After casually disposing of Berserk Battle's corpse, Gu You prepared to look for his next target.

Rumble—crack!

For a moment, heaven and earth began to tremble.

Gu You looked toward the sky in alarm. The enormous evil eye slowly opened, covering the skies of this entire world.

The sun was gone.

Only a dim violet expanse remained...

What had happened?

A bad feeling rose in Gu You's heart as all the Evil Soul Masters around him ascended into the sky...

"Where exactly is that child?" Mo Ya stared coldly at every Evil Soul Master present.

He was a Soul Master from the Spirit Transmission Hall. Leng Yaozhu had asked him to look after Gu You. He had followed him all the way, only to discover that he had vanished. After finding the entrance to this small world, he discovered that it was filled with Evil Soul Masters.

The moment he saw them, his heart sank. He had to find Gu You, no matter the cost!

"What child? How would we know?" the Soul King Evil Soul Master stepped forward and said.

"You don't know? Hahaha, what a fine 'don't know'!" Soul rings lit up one after another beneath Mo Ya's feet. His martial soul, Heavenly Chain, wrapped around his body, radiating dazzling golden halos.

Three purple, three black!

The aura of a Soul Emperor erupted!

"Since when have people from the Spirit Pagoda become so unreasonable? I already said it—we have not seen the child you speak of." The Soul King Evil Soul Master's expression changed drastically. This was a Soul Emperor! He did not dare claim that he could defeat him. Moreover, this man was clearly a Battle Armor Master. Looking at himself, his One-Word Battle Armor was not even complete.

The confidence in his heart immediately diminished.

"What a fine 'unreasonable'! If it's that child, then what if I am unreasonable?" Golden light flickered in Mo Ya's eyes. "If you truly haven't captured the child and want to prove your sincerity, then let me destroy this evil eye formation. After that, we'll search for the child ourselves and won't place the blame on you."

"Well?" Mo Ya stared at them.

"Don't go too far! Do you know what this formation concerns? If you offend that person, can you bear the consequences?" The moment the Soul King Evil Soul Master mentioned "that person," his confidence instantly swelled.

"I don't know that person!" Mo Ya showed the Soul King Evil Soul Master no courtesy whatsoever.

"You! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. If this formation is destroyed, we'll die too. We might as well fight!"

Soul rings lit up one after another, and evil aura surged into the heavens.

One-Word Battle Armor! Jade!

Different armor fragments gradually flew out around the Soul King Evil Soul Master, assembling over his body into a half-finished set of One-Word Battle Armor.

Though its amplification effect was not as strong as a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor, it was still a genuine Battle Armor enhancement, increasing all attributes by ten percent to start!

As for the other Evil Soul Masters, there was no need to introduce them in detail. They were all Soul Ancestor level.

In Mo Ya's eyes, they were not even qualified to be called minor enemies. They merely had the advantage of numbers and looked more imposing because of it.

"Trivial tricks!"

He did not even want to use his Two-Word Battle Armor.

Fourth Soul Skill, Dark Erosion!

The Soul King Evil Soul Master struck first. His martial soul was a darkness-type martial soul—the Dark Jade Emperor!

A rare serpent-type evil beast martial soul with both darkness and poison attributes.

A twisted green snake shadow appeared. It slowly coiled itself up until it was curled into a shape resembling a pile of feces.

Only then did it flick its long tongue at Mo Ya before suddenly opening its mouth, unleashing a torrent of absolutely corrosive venom.

First Soul Skill: Heavenly Chain Bind!

Countless golden chains emerged from Mo Ya's body, transforming into streaks of golden light as they slid toward the incoming venom.

As they collided, the latter erupted with golden radiance, releasing an intense aura of light.

The absolute venom, which should have corroded and dissolved everything, instantly evaporated the moment it came into contact with the golden light.

The Soul King Evil Soul Master was stunned. Others might not know how formidable his absolute venom was, but he did. Even the defenses of a purple-grade mech could be instantly corroded through by his venom.

Yet today, Mo Ya had blocked it without the slightest effort.

The Heavenly Chains moved swiftly. Under Mo Ya's control, they resembled more than a dozen roaming dragons as they charged toward the Evil Soul Masters.

"Boss Biluo! What do we do? This... this is beyond anything we can handle." A Soul Ancestor Evil Soul Master spoke in a trembling voice, cold sweat streaming down his face.

"Do you remember what I taught you before we left?" Biluo's expression was terrifyingly grim. After being a Soul Master for so long, this was the first time he had truly felt the presence of something capable of threatening his life.

"You mean?"

"That's right. Activate it—Biluo's Underworld!" Biluo formed hand seals with both hands. At the same time, countless jade-green strands shot out from behind him and merged into every Evil Soul Master present.

His aura continued to rise, abruptly surging to another level.

"No! No! Something's wrong with this increase in power! Who was it? Which one of you didn't give me your power?" Biluo turned around, his gaze fixed fiercely on all the pale-faced Evil Soul Masters present.

"Boss! You have to believe us! We really gave it all to you, all of it. There wasn't even a trace left."

"Yeah, Boss Biluo!"

"Wait! Aren't we missing someone?" "Who?" Biluo's eyes gradually became as sharp as a snake's.

"It's Berserk Battle! I said that kid was new and didn't know the rules. But why hasn't he arrived yet?"
