Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 640: Methods of the Withered Soul

Following Chu Nan's gaze, one could see a mountain peak standing tall like a tower directly under the sun, marking the very center of this world.

The mountain peak shot straight into the sky, merging with the sun.

If you squinted, you could just make out a seemingly endless staircase at the base of the mountain, leading all the way up to the sun.

Everyone understood that to refine the core of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, one must pass through that mountain, and this discovery excited them, prompting them to rush forward.

Whether for themselves, or to assist the First Hall Master or Qiu Huang, they all unanimously planned to ascend the mountain.

Chu Nan glanced at the Fourth Hall Master and followed without hesitation.

At the same time, Qiu Huang, who was at the Nine Heavens realm, had already reached the foot of the mountain. He looked at the stairway ascending into the clouds and began climbing without hesitation.

Kuhun followed closely behind, sneering, "Qiu Huang, there's no way you can outpace me."

As soon as he spoke, Kuhun's body turned into a black residual shadow, exploding with speed far surpassing Qiu Huang, deftly overtaking the First Hall Master.

"First Hall Master, what should we do!" The Second Hall Master arrived in haste, anxiously asking.

Jiang Meier followed right behind, preparing to face Kuhun.

Qiu Huang snorted disdainfully, saying, "No worries, everything is under my control."

Seeing Kuhun had already climbed a third of the way, Qiu Huang suddenly shouted, "Restrain for me!"

As the words fell, Qiu Huang, who was ascending the mountain, suddenly paused. His soul body inexplicably stopped, and thorny vines emerged from within him, wrapping around him like chains.

"Qiu Huang!!!" Kuhun, seeing himself being controlled, immediately let out an angry roar.

From within the black light, Qiu Huang spoke, "Kuhun, I have planted various tricks on you. No matter how you struggle, you can't escape my grasp."

Qiu Huang's tone was full of mockery, as if Kuhun, the top powerhouse of the Soul Dao, was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

At this moment, a group of Hall Masters and elders, along with the remaining Sixth and Seventh Hall Masters, also arrived.

"Those who follow the First Hall Master's orders to seize the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, defy them... Kuhun is your fate!" The Second Hall Master shouted sternly, immediately jolting those with ulterior motives awake.

In the face of Qiu Huang, a Nine Heavens powerhouse, their souls' fear finally overcame their greed, restoring their rationality.

Yet at this time, Kuhun suddenly said, "Heh heh~ Qiu Huang, you think I have no means against you?"

"In order to break free from your shackles, I have abandoned even my physical body. If I can bear to discard my own body, what else do I have to fear?"

"My slaves, kill the First Hall Master!"

Kuhun's voice roared, booming into the ears of the newly arrived elders, Hall Masters, and Sixth and Seventh Hall Masters.

The rationality that had just returned to their eyes instantly faded, and they went berserk, charging at the First Hall Master.

Jiang Meier was shocked by the scene and exclaimed, "What... what is this!"

Trapped, Kuhun sneered, "Before the Main Hall was about to open, I secretly sought them all out, using a Saint-level soul to forcibly make them recognize me as their master."

"With just one word from me, they become fearless death warriors, willing to fight until their souls are scattered!"

At this point, Kuhun felt a bit regretful; the Fourth Hall Master and Lan Zhanhan were both at the Eighth Heaven.

They were too powerful, and the time was too short to make them recognize him as master, otherwise Chu Nan wouldn't have seized a large amount of Nine Turn Life Elixir.

But Kuhun didn't mind now; as long as he could obtain the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, the opportunity to reclaim the Nine Turn Life Elixir would come.

Even if it couldn't be reclaimed, he could wait for it slowly.

After all, the Nine Turn Life Pool was still inside the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall; with a great enough cost, there would be no shortage of Nine Turn Life Elixir.

"Kuhun, did you lose your mind? With these insignificant beings, you still want to harm the First Hall Master? Truly delusional!" The Second Hall Master snorted coldly and engaged in combat with the approaching elders and Hall Masters. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Jiang Meier followed closely, using her Charm Technique to turn some of Kuhun's masters into puppets under her control, switching sides to fight fiercely for her.

The most ruthless was the First Hall Master, whose hands radiated black light; with a casual strike, he could end the life of a Nine Heavens cultivator.

Though many martial artists were under Kuhun's control, Qiu Huang's side possessed overwhelming strength.

A peak powerhouse of the Nine Heavens, along with two peak Eighth Heaven masters, their combined power was unrivaled, easily slaying continuously.

Though these individuals were once crucial members of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, there was no mercy in killing them.

In no more than the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, the previously arrogant elders, Hall Masters, and Hall Masters were slaughtered by the trio of Qiu Huang.

And the three of Qiu Huang were merely a bit exhausted, slightly panting.

"Kuhun, if these are your last resorts, then the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is fated to miss you." Qiu Huang said coldly, his gaze hidden beneath the black light, full of mockery and ridicule towards Kuhun.

But Kuhun was not angered; he snorted coldly, "I naturally know these people can't stop you, but you won't naively think I'm sending them to their deaths, right?"

As he spoke, Kuhun suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, becoming a vortex that swallowed all the souls of the fallen martial artists into his stomach.

After devouring the souls, Kuhun, who already possessed a Saint-level soul, began to ripple.

His soul turned crimson, expanding, with an ever-increasing aura, even the thorns binding him began to shatter.

Having consumed the souls around him, Kuhun not only increased his combat power but also managed to break free from the restraints set by Qiu Huang.

"Qiu Huang, our battle has just begun!" Kuhun snorted coldly, his crimson soul suddenly expanding, transforming into a massive soul giant, conjuring a great soul storm in the sky.

Qiu Huang's black light quieted, leaving the Second and Third Hall Masters to change color.

"Qiu Huang, let me personally shatter your soul." Kuhun sneered, his palm expanding like a large plantain fan, pushing mightily.

The terrifying soul force swept towards the three, engulfing them.

This force did not target the physical body but directly attacked the soul. Weaker individuals struck by this would have their souls shattered right then and there.

The Second Hall Master leaped back swiftly, while Jiang Meier, reacting a beat too slow, was hit, her soul wracked with pain.

Only Qiu Huang remained composed, as if everything was part of the plan!
