A pitch-black axe appeared behind Shi Kun: the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

"This..." Martial Souls across the continent were shocked. Hadn't his Martial Soul been smashed to pieces before he died? How did he still have one after being revived? And it was black, radiating a black light. It was deeply sinister.

His Soul Rings had all turned uniformly black.

Through the sky screen, they saw that Shi Kun's Soul Rings had been different colors before his death, but after his revival, all of them had turned a bizarre black.

The other Soul Elder was the same, as were the dozens of Soul Grandmasters. Their Soul Rings were uniformly black, and so were their Martial Souls.

Bibi Dong was shocked.

Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were shocked.

This completely changed the rules.

What on earth had happened?

It seemed that only by capturing Chen Yuan could they uncover all the answers.

If he was allowed to rise, he might become a top-tier Titled Douluo before long.

Bibi Dong gave the order: Chen Yuan must be captured and interrogated in person.

Bai Ling was the most nervous of all at this moment. Surrounded by two Soul Elders and several Soul Grandmasters, he concentrated intensely and said in a low voice:

"Even after dying and being revived, you still have Martial Souls!?"

"Soul Skill: Ice Butterfly Flying Thorns!" He struck first. The Ice Crystal Butterfly behind him unleashed dozens of ice spikes, while he himself flew into the air, trying to escape.

"Soul Skill: Black Python Poison Mist!" The python behind Chu Lan spewed out a great cloud of poisonous gas, enveloping the air above.

Damn, it's poisonous.

Bai Ling felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"Soul Skill: Mountain-Splitting Chop!" Shi Kun gripped his axe and brought it down, forcing Bai Ling back to the ground.

The Soul Grandmasters who had been waiting for this moment all attacked. Dozens of Soul Skills swallowed him up, and Bai Ling screamed. He was no match for them at all, battered until he couldn't tell north from south. In just three moves, he was covered in blood.

"Butterfly Shadow Phantom Body!" Bai Ling used his third Soul Skill, splitting off two phantoms in an attempt to confuse his enemies and escape. But he still couldn't overcome them. There were too many opponents. The phantoms were pierced straight through by Soul Skills, and his real body was caught before he had gone far.

Chu Lan and the others joined forces to kill Bai Ling, then carried his corpse back and placed it inside a coffin. Chu Lan said solemnly, "Reporting to Master, the task is complete."

"Very good." Chen Yuan was very satisfied.

Now he no longer needed to deal with a Soul Elder personally. There were still dozens of empty coffins, enough to hold dozens of Soul Elders, or even Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings.

"Time to leave." Chen Yuan ordered the dozens of Soul Grandmasters to carry the coffins, while the two Soul Elders led the way.

He himself used invisibility to conceal his body.

The Susanoo vanished.

"He's disappeared. He's invisible, hiding among the crowd. What a sinister man." As everyone watched the sky screen, people across the continent learned that Chen Yuan had an ability that made him invisible.

On the sky screen, the revived people walked along carrying coffins, looking deeply eerie.

"The sky screen is showing them, which means he's in there. We just don't know exactly where." Someone frowned. The sky screen showed an area stretching over a thousand meters. Who could know exactly where within that distance Chen Yuan was?

Most importantly, if he suddenly attacked, they might fall into his trap.

There were those mysterious flames, that method of killing someone in a single move, and the Susanoo.

"What a sinister man," they remarked.

Less than ten minutes after leaving the village, they encountered a second group, numbering several hundred. The two sides faced off.

Chen Yuan smiled. "An Impure World Reincarnation army delivered right to my door."

He didn't want Soul Masters whose ranks were too low, but for now, he could still take the Soul Grandmasters among them.

"It's Chen Yuan's group!" Su Mu and the others opposite them were very nervous. After all, they had just watched the sky screen's live broadcast and seen Chen Yuan slaughter the thousand-strong hunting party and revive the dead Soul Elders.

"We don't have a Soul Elder. Retreat."

They didn't want to meet them head-on and tried to flee.

Chen Yuan wasn't about to let them leave. He waved a hand. "Kill."

The two Soul Elders led the Impure World Reincarnation legion in a charge. A dense barrage of Soul Skills tore through the opposing side.

Su Mu screamed in fright. He had just killed one of the Impure World Reincarnation Soul Grandmasters, who was at the same level as him, but less than a second after dying, the man had healed automatically.

He wasn't the only one dumbfounded. The whole world was dumbfounded.

"He can come back to life after dying?"

"Doesn't that mean he can't be killed?!"

"What kind of monster is that?"

They watched the battlefield in shock. Although the two Soul Elders were holding the line on Chen Yuan's side, Soul Grandmasters in the Impure World Reincarnation legion still fell.

Absurdly, less than a second after members of the Impure World Reincarnation legion died, their wounded bodies would heal automatically, fragments flying about and reassembling.

"I don't believe it." Su Mu used another Soul Skill, smashing apart the body of the Soul Grandmaster he had killed before he could fully heal. With his own eyes, he saw the bizarre scene unfold.

Fragments flew about in layers over the Soul Grandmaster's mangled body, assembling into flesh.

Su Mu stumbled backward in fright.

"Your Holiness the Pope! An important discovery: the Impure World Reincarnation legion Chen Yuan revived possesses the attribute of immortality," the Soul Emperor in charge of keeping records said in a low voice.

Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the group of Soul Douluos were all frightened.

What did this mean?

If Chen Yuan were allowed to revive an even more powerful being, the situation would be utterly unsolvable.

As time passed, they realized that there was much more to Chen Yuan than met the eye. He had several hidden secrets.

"Capture him! Take him alive!" Bibi Dong gave the order again.

The Impure World Reincarnation skill alone made capturing Chen Yuan alive no less tempting than becoming a god.

"The ability to be immortal, heh heh." In a dark, damp basement, an old man lying in bed awaiting death suddenly gave a wicked chuckle.

"With an ability like that, it seems this old man will have to make the trip himself," he murmured. His eyes saw through the wall to the battlefield on the sky screen.

The old man vanished.

Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the others were shocked.

Xiao Wu said, "Look, they really can't be killed. Even when they're killed, they can come back to life."

Tang San frowned. Even as a transmigrator, he couldn't understand what kind of power it was.

Dai Mubai shook his head. "I don't understand either. We'll have to go back and ask our teacher, or look through older records."

But as far as he could remember, even the empire's secret historical records contained no mention of an unkillable legion.

Yu Xiaogang was shocked. "An unkillable legion?"

Is he going to become an immortal evil emperor?

"Ah!!" A chorus of screams rang out from the battlefield on the sky screen. That day, they had heard so many screams that the whole world had grown numb.

They watched with their own eyes as more than half of the several hundred people were killed outright, while the rest were knocked unconscious.

On Chen Yuan's side, not a single person had died.

Even if they died, they could come back to life. It was virtually unsolvable.

Chen Yuan was very satisfied. He willingly revealed himself, dropping his invisibility and appearing on the sky screen.

He said, "You did very well."

He ordered the coffins set out. There were already suitable sacrifices for Bai Ling, who had died earlier, and for the corpses of the dozens of other Soul Grandmasters.

The unconscious people were arranged in several rows.

Gulp.

Tang San swallowed. From the looks of it...

Chen Yuan was going to use that technique for reviving the dead again.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the top-tier Titled Douluos from all over the world watched closely, afraid of missing a single movement.

Bibi Dong said gravely, "Quickly, record every movement Chen Yuan makes when he uses that skill. Now."

"Yes!" The Soul Emperor was equally solemn.

They heard Chen Yuan shout as he pressed one hand to the ground, "Impure World Reincarnation!"
