Chapter 317 The Ancient Treasure Soul-Binding Chains
"What?!"
The Thousand Machine Demon was taken aback.
The next moment, there was a loud "boom".
Li Feiyu's entire sea of consciousness suddenly exploded violently.
But the explosion did not come from the outside, but from Li Feiyu's own soul.
Even before entering this door, Li Feiyu had done something extremely crazy.
He ingested the highly poisonous Soul-Eating Powder and preemptively drove eighty-one top-grade eighth-rank Soul-Locking Nails into the acupoints of his sea of consciousness!
He turned himself into a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
"Ahhhhhh!! What the hell is this thing?!"
The Thousand Machine Demon let out a shrill scream.
The deadly poison of the Soul-Eating Powder instantly tainted his remnant soul, corroding his spiritual body like strong acid.
And those eighty-one Soul-Locking Nails shot out from all directions, pinning him firmly to the center of Li Feiyu's sea of consciousness!
"You're insane! You're a lunatic!!"
The Thousand Machine Demon roared in terror.
"You poisoned your own consciousness? You even planted a self-destructing formation? Aren't you afraid of your soul being scattered?!"
"I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid."
Although Li Feiyu's soul was trembling with excruciating pain, his voice remained frighteningly calm.
"But I'm even more afraid of having my destiny controlled by others."
"What's a little loss of half your soul to save your life?"
"As long as I can kill you, I'll definitely make a profit."
Before he finished speaking, Li Feiyu had a thought and directly detonated the eighty-one Soul-Locking Nails.
"burst!!"
"No--!!!"
With a deafening roar, the once invincible ninth-tier remnant soul of the Thousand Machine Demon was shattered into countless pure soul fragments under the double blow of the poison and the explosion!
"puff!"
Outside, Li Feiyu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, blood flowing from all seven orifices, his aura extremely weak.
Even so, he laughed, a chilling laugh.
With trembling hands, he pulled a handful of pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into his mouth, then began frantically refining the unclaimed soul fragments in his sea of consciousness.
"A ninth-tier remnant soul... what a treasure."
"Looks like we made the right bet this time."
"With the ninth-tier inheritance in hand, that strange mark has also been extracted."
……
On the other side, inside the Gate of Inheritance of the Dark Night Demon Lord.
If Li Feiyu won by being ruthless and calculating, then the battle on Ye Ying's side was a pure combination of money and skill.
This is a world without light, filled with eerie, writhing shadows.
"Whoosh!"
Night Shadow's figure moved swiftly through the shadows, his body already covered in wounds and blood.
Behind him, a terrifying figure, almost blending into the darkness, relentlessly pursued him like a cat toying with a mouse.
This is the soul of the [Dark Night Demon Lord].
"Run, keep running!"
The voice of the Night Demon Lord was elusive.
"You are the only one in this batch who cultivates the Great Dao of Shadow. This body is simply tailor-made for me."
"Those two idiots were crushed to death by me. Now it's your turn."
"Shadow Cage!"
With a low shout, the surrounding shadows suddenly came to life, transforming into countless black tentacles that instantly blocked all of Night Shadow's escape routes.
There's no way to avoid it!
Just as those tentacles were about to pierce Nightshade's body and forcibly pull out his soul.
The Night Shadow, who had been silently fleeing, suddenly stopped.
He turned around, looked at the approaching Dark Night Demon Lord, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Senior, did you think all I could do was run?"
The Dark Lord was taken aback: "You think you can resist...?"
"boom--!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, the space in front of Nightshade suddenly cracked open.
A towering figure, as thick as an iron tower, burst forth from within without warning.
The figure showed no spiritual energy fluctuations or vitality; it possessed only pure, extreme physical strength.
This is the body-cultivation puppet that Lin Hanzhou lent to Ye Ying.
Under Nightshade's control, the body-cultivating puppet, wielding pitch-black chains, ignored all the shadow tentacles and crashed directly into the Dark Night Demon Lord's illusory soul!
"How could you possibly possess this?!"
The Dark Night Demon Lord was immediately terrified.
He wasn't surprised by the puppet; an eighth-order body cultivator puppet was nothing special to him.
What truly shocked him was the black chains in the puppet's hands.
If he remembered correctly, this was the Soul-Binding Chain, a ninth-tier treasure lost in ancient times.
The reason he remembered this treasure was because, in addition to the Soul-Binding Chain, there was another ninth-tier treasure, the Soul-Binding Lock.
These two treasures were crafted by a powerful Soul Dao expert from an earlier period.
It is said that if these two treasures can be combined into one, they will be upgraded into a legendary supreme treasure.
Nothing is impossible.
A cold glint flashed in Nightshade's eyes.
The puppet had already wrapped the dark chains around the Dark Night Demon Lord's soul.
"Damn it!"
The Dark Night Demon Lord dared not be negligent and hurriedly urged all his divine soul power to try to break free.
However, the other party was clearly overthinking things. These dark chains possessed an incomparably domineering power, instantly suppressing the divine soul power that the Dark Night Demon Lord wanted to unleash.
The next moment, the Dark Night Demon Lord let out a shrill scream.
"ah!!!"
The dark chains began to contract, continuously absorbing the Dark Night Demon Lord's soul power, making his soul weaker and weaker.
Seeing this, Nightshade finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but marvel at how troublesome a ninth-tier expert could be.
If it weren't for the puppet using the Soul-Binding Chain to launch a sneak attack, he really wouldn't have been able to defeat his opponent.
……
Inside the central hall of the Hall of Nourishing Souls.
As time goes by, the doors to these spaces of inheritance are reopened one by one.
But those who emerged were no longer the same group of people.
Most people's eyes have become weary and indifferent, and their every move carries an ancient air that is out of step with this era.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of wariness and unspoken understanding.
"Heh, Old Ghost Lieyang, you survived too?"
"Likewise, you old monster with a thousand hands aren't quite dead yet, are you?"
These "resurrected" old monsters did not rush to make a move, but instead stood tacitly on both sides of the hall, waiting for their companions to return.
Just then.
"Squeak—"
The highest gate, the [Heaven-Swallowing Gate], slowly opened.
A young figure walked out leisurely, hands in his pockets.
This person was none other than Lin Hanzhou.
His aura was restrained, and he looked completely ordinary, as if nothing had just happened.
Immediately afterwards, from the other side of the [Dark Night Gate], Night Shadow, dressed in black, walked out with a cold expression and silently stood behind Lin Hanzhou.
In a corner, Li Feiyu, covered in blood and seemingly on the verge of death, staggered out of the Thousand Machines Gate.
But in his lowered eyes, there was a subtle glint of light as he quietly surveyed his surroundings.
