Heaven-Shaking Drum

The Soul Searching Technique and Soul Capturing Technique were core secret arts of the Nether River lineage. Outsiders could never know the mysteries of their origins!

"Who am I?"

Gu Sheng's voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds.

"You are not worthy of knowing."

The instant his words fell, that invisible giant hand suddenly erupted with even more terrifying power!

Rip—!

Like tearing apart a piece of rag! Black Snake's soul phantom was forcibly ripped into countless fragments amid despairing wails!

"No—!!!"

Before those soul fragments vanished, his final consciousness was left with nothing but endless terror and regret.

Immediately afterward, an invisible devouring force swept over them, enveloping and refining every scattered soul fragment!

Black Snake's memories, knowledge, and even fragments of the evil arts he cultivated flooded into Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness!

Gu Sheng's divine soul was like the most precise sieve, instantly filtering and absorbing that information.

He saw Black Snake's life. He saw how Black Snake had entered Nether River Venerable's sect. He saw many secrets within the Boundless Sect... Yet the parts concerning the core plan for this secret realm were exceptionally vague!

Black Snake's memories contained only scattered fragments: obeying Xiao Beixuan's orders, capturing specific targets such as Bai Zhi, hunting down Realm martial artists...

As for the specific layout of the Sacrifice Array, the candidates for its core, and its ultimate purpose... those core secrets were clearly known only to Xiao Beixuan and a very few upper echelons!

Black Snake had merely been a pawn carrying out orders!

"Useless trash."

Gu Sheng's heart was cold.

Black Snake's memories had limited value.

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

Black Snake's body, standing stiffly before Gu Sheng, suddenly shuddered!

Those hollow, lifeless eyes instantly regained their "vitality," yet their depths held only icy indifference,
