Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth said indifferently:
"Didn't I tell you? It's just one last step."
"We deliberately set a trap here, just to wait for them to come and walk right into it, didn't we?"
As he spoke, he licked his lips, his eyes gleaming:
"Once I devour the souls of those five people, I can immediately step into the ninth level of heaven and reach the top in one fell swoop."
"At that time, even if the Emperor Venerable were to appear, I would be able to confront him head-on."
The handsome young man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
That would be best.
"As long as you can break through to a level comparable to the King of the Skies, then we can rest easy!"
Even if the truth comes out, the Emperor Venerable, fearing the consequences, won't go to great lengths for a few peak Quasi-Emperor.
"Even if it's just to fight against the Sky King, the Emperor Venerable will acquiesce to your rise, and the Red Sea Alliance will do everything in its power to protect you!"
At this point, he deliberately used a joking tone:
"By then, your status will be comparable to that of Emperor Venerable. Protecting me shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth's lips curled up slightly:
"Actually, you don't need to worry at all."
"Even if this operation fails and we are exposed, there is no real danger. We have enough time to replan or simply escape from the Kunyu Continent."
"Oh?"
The handsome young man raised an eyebrow and asked:
Why is that?
The black-robed youth said leisurely:
"Because the Emperor Venerable are planning something big, attempting to open a sealed door on the fourth level, which is said to hold the secret to the core level."
"Moreover, this timeframe is very short; the Emperor Venerable are preparing to make their move in the next few days."
"Once they succeed, the path to the inheritance of Emperor Kunyu will be opened."
"Faced with such a momentous event, let alone killing a few peak Quasi-Emperor, even if all the Quasi-Emperor were wiped out, we still wouldn't let them stop."
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man was immediately startled, and his expression changed slightly:
"Such top-secret information should only be known to the Emperor Venerable, right?"
How did you know?
The black-robed youth turned his head, his eyes deep, and said calmly:
Why don't you take a guess?
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man felt a sudden flutter in his heart and lowered his head, saying:
"Forget it, I'll just stop guessing..."
Actually, this result was obvious without even having to guess it.
Within the Red Sea Alliance, at least one Emperor Venerable was aware of what they were doing, and even secretly supported the actions of this Quasi -Quasi-Emperor.
Without a doubt:
This result gave him a huge sense of reassurance, completely eliminating his worries.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the handsome young man raised his head, a hint of joy flashing across his face:
Brother Wuxiang, good news!
"The soul Primal Spirit of a peak Quasi-Emperor has already succumbed and been shattered by the Illusionary Dream Dharma Form!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth's expression shifted slightly:
"Who is it? Could it be Chen Qingyu?"
"No."
The handsome young man shook his head and said:
"That Quasi- Quasi-Emperor Taiyu possesses an exceptionally stable soul and formidable strength; he won't easily fall completely into the illusion."
He paused, then pointed at one of them and laughed:
"It's that Heavenly Quasi-Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth's expression shifted slightly:
"So it was him!"
"I've heard of this person. They're said to be incredibly powerful, having launched attacks across the country in the past six months, displaying astonishing combat strength and defeating more than one peak Quasi-Emperor!"
The handsome young man's lips curled up:
"So what if their combat strength is astonishing?"
"In the end, he failed to reach the ninth level of the Heavenly Path. His Dao Path level was insufficient, and his soul was not stable enough. His weaknesses were too obvious!"
"His flaws, which he usually overlooked, now became his path to death!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth nodded and said:
"To eliminate such a formidable enemy without resorting to violence is quite an achievement."
"Since his soul and Primal Spirit have already collapsed, let's make our move sooner rather than later."
"Good!"
The handsome young man nodded, then suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers together, and reached out to grab the unconscious Tianmiao Quasi-Emperor lying on the ground.
In an instant:
Five-colored light flashed and soared, and a phantom was pulled out from the body of the Heavenly Vast Quasi-Emperor.
Look closely:
That illusory figure was none other than the divine soul form of the Quasi -Quasi-Emperor, but his face was filled with a blank expression, Divine Capital somewhat vacant.
Inside his soul, there were not only colorful, bubble-like things, but also traces of black lines, which looked shocking.
"Brother Wuxiang, your feast has arrived!"
The handsome young man laughed and captured the soul of the Quasi -Quasi-Emperor in his palm.
The black-robed youth didn't stand on ceremony and immediately opened his mouth slightly to inhale.
"Whoosh..."
The divine soul of the Heavenly Quasi-Emperor shattered instantly, scattering into streams of light that flew into the mouth of the black-robed youth.
Such a renowned and formidable Quasi-Emperor died silently and without a trace.
Hmm.
The black-robed youth devoured the divine soul, a flush appearing on his face as he beamed with joy.
"It tastes good!"
"Both are Quasi-Emperor at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, but the taste of this Heavenly Void Quasi-Emperor's soul is far more wonderful than that of the Eastern Origin Quasi-Emperor!"
"Of course."
A handsome young man nearby casually remarked:
"His strength far surpasses that of the Eastern Origin Quasi-Emperor, and his divine soul is naturally much stronger; only his soul's stability is insufficient."
"Um."
The black-robed youth nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes:
"Then let's wait and see!"
"I've been eagerly anticipating what it's like to experience the soul of a peak Quasi-Emperor..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Chen Qingyu, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head, saying:
"Fine, just consider it bad luck."
"I didn't intend to kill you, but you barged in anyway, so you can't blame anyone else..."
The two chatted casually as they waited.
Of course:
On the surface, they appear to be doing nothing, but in reality, they work together in perfect harmony, using the power of Daoist magic to create an endless dream prison.
so far:
No one has yet escaped the prison they have built.
Time flies:
More than half an hour later--
"Um?"
The handsome young man's expression shifted, and he chuckled softly:
"Another person's soul and Primal Spirit have been scattered."
The black-robed youth asked:
Who is it this time?
The handsome young man pointed to the burly man lying on the ground in the distance and said:
"There he is— the Quasi-Emperor of the Blazing Sun!"
"Although this person's spirit is stable, their explosive temper and major character flaws made them easily susceptible to the attack."
"He was trapped in the deepest illusion, unable to extricate himself, and had completely lost himself."
Upon hearing this, the black-robed youth licked his lips:
"Quick! Quickly pull his soul out!"
"Compared to that, the Quasi-Emperor Miao was merely an appetizer; this is the real feast!"
"Good!"
The handsome young man nodded with delight and immediately used his Daoist magic to forcibly extract the soul of the Quasi-Emperor Yanyang!
"Call..."
The black-robed youth devoured the soul of the Quasi-Emperor Yan Yang and let out a satisfied sigh.
"As expected of a peak Quasi-Emperor, this flavor is absolutely exquisite!"
The corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes grew increasingly expectant.
"Let's continue!"
"I can't wait to taste what the rest of us are like..."
