Danger, Falling into the Black Devil's Trap

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful soul fluctuation approaching him. Startled, Lan Caihe quickly raised his right hand and slapped out a palm strike, instantly sending a white palm print towards the soul fluctuation.

Seeing Lan Caihe's attack coming, the man in black smiled coldly and slashed at Lan Caihe's soul attack with his sword.

The two souls collided in mid-air, and strands of white soul power intertwined, forming a powerful storm that spread outwards, destroying all the trees within a radius of several miles and turning the land into flat ground, where a bottomless abyss appeared.

"Hmph!" Seeing that his soul attack had been neutralized by Lan Caihe, the man in black let out a soft shout Lan Caihe raised his sword again. Streaks of black lightning erupted from the sword and blasted towards Lan Caihe's soul power, attempting to defeat him.

Upon seeing this, Lan Caihe quickly dodged the black lightning.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the void. Lan Caihe was no match for him, and he repeatedly used his movement Movement Method to dodge while simultaneously circulating his soul power to contend with the black lightning. Although Lan Caihe was only at the Early Golden Core Stage, his soul power was many times stronger than that of ordinary Late Golden Core Stage cultivators, which was why he was able to fight the man in black in mid-air.

The man in black was astonished to see that Lan Caihe's soul power could actually rival his own.

He knew Lan Caihe was no ordinary person, but he hadn't expected his soul power to be so formidable. He no longer held back, and with a swing of his sword, streaks of black lightning struck towards Lan Caihe's soul power.

The black lightning was incredibly powerful, even tearing and distorting space itself. Lan Caihe he saw the black lightning; he hadn't expected the black-clad man's lightning to be so terrifying, even tearing space apart.

He quickly controlled his soul power to resist the attack of the black lightning, and at the same time, he summoned his spirit beast to help him.

"Boom..."

As the lightning struck the black sphere, it rapidly expanded.

In a short while, the black lightning ball transformed into a large city-like structure, and it continued to grow until it became a colossal black city.

The black city enveloped Lan Caihe, and the power of the black lightning ball continued to intensify, causing the flowers Lan Caihe to wither and turn yellow instantly, leaving a row of deep pits on the ground.

The city then grew larger Lan Caihe.

Bolts of lightning relentlessly struck down, turning Lan Caihe and the surrounding flowers and plants into dust. Even the air itself was corroded by the lightning, leaving a faint smell of burning.

Lan Caihe's agonizing roar echoed from within the black city.

"Ah!"

His body trembled amidst the black lightning, his flesh being constantly corroded, and even his soul had been struck by the black lightning.

Its body gradually shrank, its skin became withered, its hair turned yellow, its cheeks became sunken, and its eyes turned gray.

He even felt his body slowly merging into grayish-white particles. These grayish-white particles were none other than his Nascent Soul, which was constantly melting, becoming finer and smaller.

The grayish-white particles grew smaller and smaller until they finally turned into a black bead, floating around Lan Caihe's Nascent Soul.

Nascent Soul seeing the gray bead, the Nascent Soul's face lit up with joy, and it reached out a hand to grasp the black bead. However, it discovered that the black bead was beyond its control and was slipping from Nascent Soul hand.

The black bead landed precisely on the golden halo.

"Boom!"

The gray bead exploded instantly, sending puffs of gray smoke flying in all directions. Lan Caihe felt a sharp pain that made him wince and almost faint.

"Damn it, how could this happen!" Lan Caihe cursed under his breath, and hurriedly circulated his soul power to try to control the golden halo, but the golden halo seemed to be alive and desperately struggled to break free from Lan Caihe's control.

Just then, the black city suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the sky and turning the night as bright as day, as a powerful spiritual force erupted from it.

"Boom!"

The space in front of Lan Caihe trembled violently, Lan Caihe quickly retreated.

Before him appeared a black city that was hundreds of feet high, hundreds of meters wide, and thousands of meters tall.

When he saw the city, his pupils contracted in horror. This man in black was actually able to conjure up such a tall city, and the city even possessed a vast and unparalleled power.

This city exudes an ancient and weathered aura, as if it flowed down from ancient times, carrying the flavor of the passage of time.

"What kind of place is this? How can it have such a strange power?"

Lan Caihe felt very strange when he saw the ancient and desolate city wall.

Just then, a huge mouth appeared on the ancient city wall, with sharp fangs protruding from both sides.

"Whoosh!"

Golden bolts of lightning shot out from that enormous mouth, heading straight for Lan Caihe.

Lan Caihe hadn't expected the man in black to use such a despicable method against him, so he immediately summoned a huge shield to block the golden lightning.

Golden lightning bolts struck the massive shield, producing a deafening roar and sending ripples spreading outwards. Lan Caihe felt a powerful force emanating from his shield, causing his entire body to ache.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lan Caihe spat out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't expected the golden lightning inside that enormous mouth to be so powerful, instantly destroying his golden shield and injuring him.

The enormous mouth once again spewed out bolts of golden lightning.

"Buzz!"

When the enormous mouth opened, it spewed out bolts of golden lightning, aiming to kill Lan Caihe.

He dared not delay and hurriedly activated the power of his soul, making it more solid and enveloping his Primordial Spirit.

"Whoosh!"

Lan Caihe fled quickly.

"Hmph! Do you think you can escape?"

The enormous black shadow sneered, its figure vanished instantly, Lan Caihe, throwing a punch at him with destructive power.

And it was so fast that even Lan Caihe had no chance to dodge.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the weapon struck Lan Caihe squarely in the chest. Lan Caihe immediately felt a tightness in his heart, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward, crashing into the mountain peak and falling to the ground.
