Zhan You arrived at Refining God Peak with powerful Heavenly Repairing Realm experts to capture and humiliate Jin Shuhui, gloating that Ye Chen would be unable to stop them. As Zhan You moved to seize her, Lan Ying activated a dormant soul formation that encased the entire peak in a dangerous golden light to protect them. The formation forced the intruders to hold back, as any direct attack risked severe soul injury. While Zhan You seethed with rage and frustration, his companion Qiu Pi identified a way to bypass the defensive barrier, setting the stage for a confrontation.

A hint of malice crossed Elder Qiu’s features as he remarked, "Hehe, merging a divine soul with the Refining God Peak is hardly a simple task. This formation taxes the divine soul immensely! Even if left to its own devices, this woman can only endure for three days at most!"

Three days? The gaze of Zhan You chilled instantly; that was far too long!

Seeming to grasp exactly what Zhan You was pondering, Qiu Pi spoke calmly, "That is if left to its own devices, young master. I never suggested it should remain so. While others may lack the means to meddle with this formation, I certainly do not! A Soul Formation should naturally be countered using the Soul Dao!"

As he finished speaking, an aura of divine soul power radiated from Qiu Pi, causing both Li Chang and Xu Qi to shiver.

Qiu Pi was, in fact, a soul cultivator!

The next instant, Qiu Pi let out a roar: "Calamity Soul Lion!"

The roiling divine soul power abruptly coalesced into a dark purple brilliance, punctuated by a soul-shaking lion’s roar that echoed across the heavens. A massive purple lion, radiating the intent to devour the skies, emerged with ferocity, its wild eyes flashing as it charged straight at the Golden Soul Formation with waves of purple energy.

Upon impact, the soul lion slammed into the golden radiance, claws dancing as slashes of soul energy swept across the barrier. Its jaws widened, spitting forth soul-fire that mercilessly corroded the golden curtain enveloping the entire Refining God Peak!

Watching the spectacle, Li Chang and Xu Qi were overcome with sheer terror.

It was truly terrifying!

Elder Qiu was absolutely formidable.

Had Elder Qiu been a mere third-level martial artist of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, they might have considered fleeing or surviving the encounter. But now, sensing the raw divine soul power saturating the environment, Li Chang and Xu Qi felt their very divine souls were like flickers of candlelight in a storm. A flick of the finger from Elder Qiu would be enough to extinguish them permanently.

Resistance and escape were completely impossible!

The Soul Dao of the Outer Realm is far superior to that of the Divine Kingdom, though the requirements for training it are significantly harsher.

Therefore, while soul cultivators are indeed rare in the Outer Realm, each one is a monstrous existence that forces even martial artists of higher realms to act with extreme caution.

Furthermore, Qiu Pi was not just a master of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, but a soul cultivator to boot!

His raw combat potential likely dwarfed that of the Zhan Family Patriarch.

As the purple and gold waves of spirit energy continued their violent exchange, Jin Shuhui watched Lan Ying with growing distress. Although Lan Ying remained seated in meditation without a sound, Jin Shuhui could clearly feel her mentor's aura rapidly fading.

Eventually, the soul lion shadow flickered and vanished; Lan Ying had managed to survive Qiu Pi’s devastating assault!

Yet, the sneer on Qiu Pi’s face only deepened.

Harnessing his surging power, he prepared for another strike, and soon, a second roar erupted, rattling the very foundations of the earth.

... At this precise moment, Ye Chen was navigating toward the Moon Soul Domain when a sudden disturbance caught his focus.

He even detected a faint plea for help!

His expression shifted violently.

Something terrible was unfolding at the Refining God Peak and with Jin Shuhui!

It appeared that Zhan You, whom he had foolishly spared, had indeed targeted the peak!

Damn it!

Soaring through the void, Ye Chen disregarded the treacherous spatial turbulence, his body flickering forward at breakneck speed.

Ye Chen’s face was dark, and his eyes rippled with murderous intent like a tempest.

"Zhan You," he declared icily, "if any harm befalls Jin Shuhui, I will not only kill you, I will annihilate the entire Zhan Family!"

Regret flooded his mind.

What was he regretting?

Was it for provoking Zhan You? Not in the slightest.

He regretted not immediately proceeding to the Moon Soul Domain after leaving the Juesha Heaven to eradicate Zhan You and his clan once and for all.

Fixating on Jin Shuhui's perilous situation, Ye Chen felt his heart burn with unfettered rage.

Suddenly, a three-headed, rhino-like spatial beast lunged at him, its mouths opening wide to unleash a vacuum of suction meant to consume him.

Stung by rage, Ye Chen erupted like a dormant volcano, his irises blackening as he barked, "Begone!"

An terrifying wave of energy surged from within him. The formidable beast let out a pathetic whimper, its eyes glassing over as its life essence vanished, leaving it to drift aimlessly through the turbulence of space.

Ye Chen had utilized the Soul-devouring Sky and Destruction Divine Dao to terminate the beast instantly.

Xuan Han Yu had been right; having reached the fourth level of the Heavenly God Realm, his Soul-devouring Sky and Destruction Divine Dao had grown exponentially stronger.

"Surprised?" Xuan Han Yu asked.

Ye Chen offered a curt nod.

Xuan Han Yu’s eyes dimmed as he added, "The situation at Refining God Peak is dire; you will be facing multiple experts of the Heavenly Repairing Realm alone. I shall teach you some techniques to bolster your Soul-devouring Sky, which may be the key to surpassing your opponents today!"

"Watch closely!"

... Back at the Refining God Peak.

Blood flowed in streams from Lan Ying’s seven orifices. Her divine soul was clearly fractured, yet she stubbornly maintained the Soul Formation, refusing to break her concentration.

The agony of a wounded divine soul is a thousand times worse than physical carnage.

Yet, Lan Ying persisted!

She understood that if she surrendered, Jin Shuhui would be doomed. Zhan You was a monster, and if Shuhui fell into his clutches, she would meet a fate far worse than death.

She would hold firm, even if her soul was shattered beyond repair.

She would hold on until Ye Chen arrived!

Though they faced three Heavenly Repairing Realm enemies, including a soul cultivator, the odds of success were nonexistent, yet she entrusted her final hope to the young man who had performed nothing but miracles.

Tears streamed down Jin Shuhui’s pale face. She had always been resilient, but watching her mentor, who was like a mother to her, suffer such unimaginable agony in her stead was more than she could bear.

Zhan You laughed at the sight, as if amused by a play.

Finally, a flash of grit appeared in Jin Shuhui’s eyes. A Dragonslayer Sword manifest in her hand, and with a steady grip, she aimed the blade toward her own throat.

Jin Shuhui was preparing to commit suicide!

She would choose death now rather than witness her mentor’s suffering or endure the clutches of a man like Zhan You.

But then, a mocking laugh echoed in her mind.

"Jin Shuhui, planning to die?" Zhan You sneered. "If you pass on, who knows what I might do to your mentor? After all, she does have a certain charm, doesn’t she?"
