Soul Sand Devour, Destruction Fragment

Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't let Na'er deal with these two old devils alone.

Who knows what insidious tricks these ancient devils, who have lived for countless years, are hiding?

If he were to be careless and accidentally harm Na'er, he, as her older brother, would have to rescue her, which would only make things more complicated.

Moreover, he had an even more important goal—to extract information about the Destruction Fragment from these two old devils.

Then, Xiao Chen spoke coldly, his tone carrying an unquestionable indifference. "No need."

"You're playing too slowly."

The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's Wither Martial Soul instantly!

A chilling yet powerful Soul Power suddenly surged from his body, and an invisible pressure spread out, causing the air in the entire valley to sink.

Immediately afterwards, he activated his Second Soul Skill and Sixth Soul Skill simultaneously!

In an instant, a large amount of brownish-yellow Soul Sand appeared out of thin air around the Nightmare Old Demon and the Ruin Old Demon. Like living things, it rapidly spread and gathered from all directions, tightly wrapping and Entanglement their bodies from the head down!

The fine sand grains swirled with an eerie hue in the dim light, writhing as if Life, layer upon layer, completely engulfing the two old demons' bodies.

Nightmare Old Demon and Ruin Old Demon were instantly enraged!

They had been entrenched on Devil's Island for countless years, and had never suffered such humiliation or been bound like this before. This was the first time they had ever been so humiliated!

The next second, terrifying energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from the two old demons, and terrifying Soul Power surged out like a torrent, attempting to forcibly disperse the layers of Soul Sand that enveloped them.

To their astonishment, the Soul Power they unleashed with all their might not disperse the sand; instead, it seemed to feed it, causing the sand to Entanglement even more tightly, almost embedding itself into their flesh!

"How could this be?!"

The Nightmare Old Demon's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

He had traversed half his life and seen countless bizarre Martial Soul, but he had never seen such strange sand that could devour even Soul Power and instead become more and more tightly bound to it!

The function of the Soul Sand is far from over.

Almost simultaneously, after failing to break free, the Nightmare Old Demon and the Ruin Old Demon let out a series of shrill screams and wails!

To their horror, they discovered that the sand was frantically devouring and corrupting their souls and energy!

It was a piercing pain that came from the inside out, like peeling away layers of a cocoon, as if something was slowly gnawing at their souls along their meridians.

That's right.

Ever since Xiao Chen swapped the positions of his First Soul Core and Second Soul Core, his entire Soul Power has been completely corrupted by the First Soul Core.

This led to a transformation in his Second Soul Skill — Soul Sand Devour —which gained two terrifying functions: corrupting souls and devouring Soul Power.

As long as the difference in cultivation level between the two parties is not too great, the other party's Soul Power will be frantically devoured by this Soul Sand; and the other party's soul will either be completely devoured or continuously corrupted, eventually turning into a walking corpse and a corrupted creature.

Clearly, these two old demons are far from meeting the standards to break free of the Soul Sand.

Well, then I'll just have to accept it.

They've tormented others plenty of times before, so now that it's their turn, they shouldn't apply double standards.

As the Soul Sand continued to devour and corrupt them, the Nightmare Old Demon and the Ruin Old Demon's faces became increasingly distorted, and they howled in agony. Even their souls became increasingly thinner at a visible speed, as if they would completely dissipate at any moment.

The piercing screams echoed through the valley, a stark contrast to the leisurely demeanor of the two men just moments before.

The two old demons struggled desperately, their Soul Power erupting in waves, but they could not break free even slightly. Instead, they were bound tighter and tighter by the Soul Sand, as if it wanted to strangle them alive in the sand cocoon.

At first, they were still able to hold on, but as their souls were gnawed away more and more severely, the excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow finally made them unable to maintain their dignity as strong people, and even their voices began to become hoarse and broken.

This scene left Na'er, who was standing next to Xiao Chen, completely stunned.

She stared blankly at the two old demons who had been so arrogant just moments before, but were now writhing in agony. A flicker of fear crossed her eyes, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Brother, you haven't used this trick in a while. How come it's getting more and more terrifying..."

"Terrifying?" Xiao Chen's expression was calm, but his tone carried an air of matter-of-fact composure. "That's more like it."

"If it's not scary, how can I prove I'm getting stronger?"

He ignored Na'er and turned his gaze to the two old demons who were wailing. His voice was cold and devoid of emotion as he spoke, "Tell me the location of the Destruction Fragment, and I may grant you a quick death."

"Dream on!" The Nightmare Old Demon gritted his teeth, even as his soul was being devoured in excruciating pain, he still stubbornly roared, "I've tormented others my whole life, what's a little torment!"

"You won't find out!"

However, unlike the stubborn Nightmare Old Demon, the Ruin Old Demon suddenly bowed his head to Xiao Chen, as if he had given in.

The Ruin Old Demon was rapidly calculating in his mind.

This kid's methods are unpredictable; a direct confrontation would likely be counterproductive. It would be better to feign compliance first, trick him into loosening his restraints, and then seize the opportunity to turn the tables once we're free.

A glint of malice flashed deep in his eyes, but he forced a gentle, ingratiating smile through his throbbing pain, and said in a trembling voice, "Boy... perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us..."

"You just want to find the Destruction Fragment, right? Fine, I'll give you everything!"

"You can take any of the Destruction Fragment of the entire Devil Archipelago!"

"If you release us, I'll take you there right away!"

"As long as you agree to leave Devil's Island after collecting the Destruction Fragment..."

Upon hearing this, Nightmare Old Demon turned angrily to Ruin Old Demon, shouting, "Annihilation! Do you know what you're saying?! Without the Destruction Fragment, we will all..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he met the fierce glare from the Ruin Old Demon, who looked like a "pig teammate." He instantly understood what was going on and swallowed the rest of his words.

Xiao Chen naturally saw through the Ruin Old Demon's little scheme.

That old bastard, though he says he's surrendering, can't hide the malice in his eyes. He's probably just waiting for me to release him so he can make a quick getaway.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen gave a disdainful sneer and slowly spoke, his voice carrying an unyielding chill:

"Hehe, I don't like haggling."

"Besides, you don't seem to have any good intentions either."

"Now, you only have two choices—either you will be tormented by me for the rest of your lives, or you will hand over the location of the Destruction Fragment and die."

There was no other choice.
