You have mastered the ultimate Heaven Grade special Soul Technique - [Myriad Arts Soul Capture] (Active: Condenses invisible soul-absorbing chains, ignoring all material defenses and conventional true qi shields, forcibly imprisoning and extracting the enemy's soul. Can read memories, control consciousness, and even refine their soul into pure spiritual power to nourish yourself!)]

"Call..."

Dongfang Yueming felt reassured as he sensed the invisible chain, shimmering with an eerie light, coiled above the Platinum Lingtai in his Sea of Consciousness.

This special Soul Technique can be used not only for interrogation and control, but also as a terrifying weapon in team battles. It is impossible to defend against, and touching it will result in the soul being stripped away.

He didn't stop what he was doing; his gaze fell on the two Profound Grade unorthodox Soul Technique that he had just Perfection.

"Merge!"

[Ding! Two Profound Grade Soul Technique have successfully fused! Obtained Earth Grade Special Soul Technique - "Taiyi Soul Transfer and Bone Transformation Technique" (Perfection)!]

"Merge this newly acquired Earth Grade Soul Technique with the ' Shift the Soul and Change the Scene I obtained from the Baihu...!"

"Buzz--!!!"

Within Dongfang Yueming's Sea of Consciousness, two mysterious spiritual fluctuations began to intertwine and sublimate intensely.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]

[Gained Heaven Grade Special Soul Technique - "The Taixu Illusion and Destruction True Scripture" (Perfection)!]

"What a brilliant move, ' One Thought, One World '!"

Dongfang Yueming suddenly opened his eyes, and two deep, almost radiant beams of light One Flash from them.

That concludes the discussion.

In terms of Soul Technique, he has already gathered Heaven Grade defense, Heaven Grade attack, and two Heaven Grade special Soul Technique that can be described as heaven-defying!

In addition, there was his supreme spiritual realm of [Top-Tier Soul Condensation Perfection].

Looking across the entire Great Xia, and even including those high-level demons hidden beyond the Boundary, in the battle of spirit and soul, Dongfang Yueming is already invincible!

at the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away from Central Capital, on the steel Great Wall on the edge of Demon Capital.

"Sun Grade Master!"

A communications officer scrambled to the rear command post, his face contorted with anxiety, and reported to the Sun Grade investigator who was taking a breath, "An urgent warning has been sent from Central Capital! The Expo Center has been attacked by a combined force of Variants and monsters! And there's an inside agent who has defected!"

"What?!"

The Sun Grade investigator abruptly stood up, his previously calm expression instantly turning extremely grim.

"Central Capital was also attacked? And there was an inside agent?!"

His worst fears came true. Those cunning high-level monsters were indeed playing a feint! They used the monster horde at the front to tie down the main human force, while wreaking havoc in the rear, attempting to completely destroy humanity's will to resist.

"Demon Capital?!"

The Sun Grade investigator grabbed the communications officer by the collar and demanded, "What's the situation in the rear of Demon Capital right now?! Have those lurking Variants taken advantage of the chaos to erupt?!"

In his view, the Variants forces in Demon Capital were deeply entrenched, and with the recent troubles involving the three major families and the Pan Family, this was the most vulnerable time for them. If Variants Demon Capital broke out in Central Capital, the entire southern front would be completely finished!

"Back... back to your lord!"

The communications officer swallowed hard, his expression turning strange. "The liaison officer from the Demon Capital branch just reported that... Demon Capital... is very quiet."

"Quiet?!"

The Sun Grade investigator was stunned. "How is that possible?! Those bastards went to such great lengths to create this breach, how could they not take the opportunity to cause trouble inside Demon Capital?!"

"According to... according to the reports from the personnel remaining in Demon Capital..." The communications officer stammered as he examined the intelligence report in his hand.

"It seems that... before the Boundary warning was issued, all the low- to mid-level Variants hiding in the Demon Capital, including some deeply infected Fallen Ones... suddenly died overnight!"

"What?!"

The Sun Grade investigator's pupils constricted sharply.

"They all died overnight? How is that possible?! Who did it?!"

"N-no... I don't know." The communications officer shook his head. "Also, the Demon Capital branch reported... that Moon Grade investigator Baihu and Lord Qinglong... have gone missing. We found strong remnants of demonic energy and a pool of disgusting black liquid in Lord Qinglong's seclusion room."

Upon hearing this news, the Sun Grade investigator's heart sank to the bottom.

"Is there residual demonic energy in Qinglong's secluded cultivation chamber? Could it be... that Qinglong...?"

A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind: if even Moon Grade investigator had been possessed by Variants or had turned against them, then the situation in Demon Capital was definitely on the verge of life and death!

But if Qinglong had a problem, why didn't the Variants in Demon Capital erupt? Why did they even all die suddenly?

"Quickly! Connect the dedicated line to the Central Capital front-line command post immediately!"

The Sun Grade investigator felt his brain was struggling to keep up. There must be some crucial variable hidden somewhere!

Central Capital, the ruins of the International Martial Dao Expo Center.

Dongfang Yueming stood up from his cross-legged position. His already unfathomable aura became even more ethereal and vast.

"Senior, this is..."

The old Daoist priest and the old monk in green robes looked at Dongfang Yueming as he stood up, their eyes filled with awe. Although they couldn't discern Dongfang Yueming's exact cultivation level, the soul-chilling pressure emanating from him just now was even more terrifying than before!

Just then...

The specially made emergency communicator in the old Daoist priest's arms emitted a piercing beep.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression turned serious, and he immediately answered the call.

"Sun Grade Master!"

On the other end of the phone, the extremely anxious voice of the Sun Grade investigator came through:

"How is the situation in Central Capital?! Old Daoist, can you hold out? If Central Capital falls, the Great Xia is truly finished!"

"This..."

The old Daoist in green robes glanced at the corpses of the several Sea of Consciousness Realm demons and defectors on the ground, then at Dongfang Yueming, who stood calmly to the side.

His expression became extremely complex, even carrying a hint of bitter smile and relief.

"Rest assured, Lord Sun Grade. Central Capital... is safe for now."

"Safe?!"

The investigator on the other Sun Grade of the phone was visibly taken aback. "You actually managed to withstand the combined attack from the Sea of Consciousness Realm demon and your inside man?! What were your losses?"

"Losses..." The old Daoist in the green robe took a deep breath, "We old bones almost died here."

"Fortunately, I had the help of a benefactor."

"A benefactor's help?"

"Yes," the old Daoist in the green robe said in an almost reverent tone, "A mysterious senior with Heaven Reaching strength intervened at the critical moment. One move... just one move, and he instantly killed all the invading demonic creatures in the Sea of Consciousness and the defecting True Power Perfection experts!"

"What?!!!"

The Sun Grade investigator's voice rose eight octaves on the other end of the phone; you could even hear him gasping for breath.

"One move and he instantly killed a demonic creature at the Sea of Consciousness Realm and True Power Perfection?! Old Daoist, are you kidding me?! When did such a person appear in the Great Xia Country?!"

"Which reclusive Supreme Elder is it?!"

Faced with persistent questioning from the Sun Grade investigator.

The old Daoist priest in the green robe gave a wry smile. "He's not some Supreme Elder. This senior looks extremely young."

He glanced cautiously at Dongfang Yueming, and seeing that the other party did not intend to stop him, he continued:

"Furthermore, the Baihu investigator from Demon Capital is currently by this senior's side. I suspect... they have a close relationship."
