233: Chapter 233 Remnant Soul Trapped in Rock

The barb shimmering with a ghostly green, chilling light had already touched Su Changge's inner garment, and an extreme coldness and tearing sensation spread from his back.

In this split second of life and death, Su Changge squeezed out the last ounce of potential from his limbs and bones, taking the step that would determine the outcome toward the distorted light curtain ahead.

Hum—

His figure submerged into the light curtain, as if passing through a layer of viscous mercury.

The moment his entire body stepped into the Wall Region, an irresistible and terrifying suction came from the solid rock ground beneath his feet.

In an instant, a pressure one hundred times that of the outside world descended; it was invisible and intangible, yet it felt as heavy as if the entire firmament had collapsed, slamming ruthlessly onto his shoulders.

The Qi and blood within Su Changge's body stagnated, his internal organs felt as if they were splitting, and his entire skeleton groaned under the unbearable burden.

His knees uncontrollably softened, and he nearly knelt down on the spot.

However, he gritted his teeth until they cracked, a suppressed grunt escaping from the depths of his throat, and he forcibly reversed that force which was on the verge of collapsing.

Under the hundredfold pressure, his spine not only failed to bend but stood even straighter, like a divine spear piercing the sky, or an eternal sacred mountain supporting heaven and earth.

He stood there quietly, as steady as a deep pool and a towering mountain, not even the corner of his clothing stirred in the slightest.

His posture was leisurely, as if this hundredfold pressure, capable of grinding ordinary Cultivators into meat paste, was nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

The Empress Phantom, following closely behind and carrying monstrous resentment, charged into the Wall Region without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as it landed, the form condensed from resentment sank abruptly!

The hundredfold gravity was the iron Law of this world, imposing the most ruthless suppression on all foreign objects.

The Empress Phantom was caught off guard, its massive body actually forced downward by more than half a zhang.

Puchi!

Half of its knee was driven directly into the incomparably hard mysterious black rock, like a nail wedged into stubborn iron, and the rock floor cracked into spiderweb-like fissures with its knee as the center.

"Roar—!"

The Empress Phantom let out a roar that shook the Divine Soul, filled with shock and rage.

It struggled desperately, wanting to pull its leg out of the rock, but the pressure stemming from the Law of the world clamped down on it tightly, making every movement incredibly difficult.

The blood-colored tentacles around its body, which had originally danced wildly like demonic Dragons, lost all their might at this moment, pressed limp against the ground by gravity, twitching slightly, unable to even be lifted.

Su Changge stood not far away, coldly watching the Empress Phantom that was crazily roaring while trapped in the rock, his heart already churning with raging waves.

It worked!

I bet correctly!

The Law of heaven and earth here is truly the nemesis of this malevolent soul!

Despite the wild joy in his heart, Su Changge's face showed not a ripple of emotion.

He stepped forward, his movements leisurely, and slowly retreated several steps, opening up an absolutely safe distance from the Empress Phantom, before leaning slightly against the rock wall to the side.

He slightly lifted his chin, his gaze filled with the indifference of looking down upon an ant, and his voice was so plain that it lacked even a trace of worldly aura, yet it clearly reached the ears of the Empress Phantom:

"A mere residual soul, and you dare to act presumptuously before this Prince?"

This understated sentence was like igniting a powder keg.

The shriek of the Empress Phantom became even more piercing, nearly tearing apart one's eardrums.

It frantically urged the massive resentment belonging to the Great Emperor Level, turning it into an ink-black storm, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the surrounding gravity Law.

Boom!

Crack!

With it as the center, the black wind surged, and the surrounding rocks were torn and shattered under the impact of this power.

Supported by the resentment, its knee was finally pulled out of the rock inch by inch, and it stood straight again.

But even so, the suppression of the hundredfold gravity remained.

Its movement speed was more than three times slower than before in the Void Zone, every action carrying a distinct sense of sluggishness, no longer possessing the soul-chasing speed it had just a moment ago.

At this moment, the Old Priest and the Four Princes, far away on the outskirts of the Northern Region, were enduring unspeakable torment.

Deep within the Wall Region, the collision of two auras was turning into a tangible pressure, sweeping outwards.

One was the monstrous resentment of the Empress Phantom that swept through the ages, cold, tyrannical, and filled with the will to destroy everything.

The other was the aura that Su Changge "revealed," unfathomable as an abyss, ancient, vast, as if standing independent of this world.

The collision of the two supreme wills generated shockwaves that made their Divine Souls sway, to the point where they couldn't even open their eyes.

The Four Princes were already scared out of their wits, prostrating on the ground with their heads buried deep, breathing cautiously.

Prince Jimie's face was pale, his hands trembling as he summoned his Lifebound Treasure—a bone blade burning with nether ghost fire.

He held the bone blade horizontally across his chest, posing as if ready to charge in at any moment to share the burden for our King.

Yet his soul body, shaking like a sieve, exposed the fear in his heart.

Shadow Kill Prince and Succubus Prince followed suit, each summoning their Magic Treasures as well.

They had no real intention of loyally protecting their master; they were merely afraid that the Old Priest would find an excuse afterward to label them with the charge of disloyalty.

Only the Old Priest remained devoutly prostrated on the ground, bowing down again and again toward the direction of the Wall Region, chanting ancient prayers, his voice growing grander, filled with a fanatical belief.

Inside the Wall Region, Su Changge stared at the Empress Phantom, which was struggling to approach step by step, thoughts spinning rapidly in his mind.

This place was still the edge of the Wall Region, with gravity only a hundred times normal.

According to ancient records, the closer one went to the core area, the gravity would increase exponentially, up to a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!

As long as he could lure this malevolent soul into the core area, under ten thousand times gravity, even the residual soul of a Great Emperor would surely be suppressed to the point of immobility!

Thinking of this, Su Changge hesitated no longer and turned to walk toward the depths of the Wall Region.

He did not choose to run in a straight line, but instead stepped using a profound footwork, each step landing exactly on the weakest node of the gravity pulse.

His speed was astonishingly fast because of this, and in the blink of an eye, he had once again opened up a vast distance from the Empress Phantom behind him.

The Empress Phantom roared repeatedly from behind, pursuing relentlessly, but the heavy power of the Law was a shackle it could not shake off, and it could only watch helplessly as Su Changge's figure gradually drifted away in the distorted light.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Changge had penetrated deep into the Wall Region, arriving at the edge of the core area.

The gravity here had quietly climbed to three hundred times!

The terrifying pressure, sufficient to crush divine iron, caused his bones to emit faint cracking sounds.

Each step he took felt like walking while carrying a giant mountain on his back.

He gritted his teeth, letting cold sweat soak through his clothes, but his face remained a glacier that would never melt, showing not a shred of pain.

At this moment, within his long-dormant Sea of Consciousness, a pale blue light curtain lit up without warning.

The spatial turbulence inside the Wall Region was relatively stable, the force field blocking the signal had weakened, and the System had finally restored its connection!

The text on the interface was incomparably clear, and all functions were fully restored.

The taut string in Su Changge's heart finally loosened slightly.

He immediately diverted a wisp of his mind to open the emotion points panel, his gaze sweeping over the string of numbers above.

Over three million!

Were these emotion points enough to exchange for a life-saving Special Effect capable of turning the tide?

Or perhaps, was there some method that could wipe out this relentless residual soul in one fell swoop?

Just as he was calculating rapidly, the Empress Phantom pursuing him from behind stopped in its tracks.

It stood at the edge of the core area, its scarlet eyes staring fixedly ahead; the gravity field emitted by that area made it feel a fatal threat.

It dared not take another step forward.

The Empress Phantom stopped where it was, the black wind around its body churning more violently, the density of its resentment rising steadily, as if it were accumulating some kind of terrifying attack.

Seeing this, Su Changge's heart sank.

"This thing is actually so vigilant that it won't come in? Then how can I get rid of it completely?"

Before his thoughts could settle, a sudden change occurred!

The Empress Phantom suddenly raised its arm, and endless blood light and resentment gathered in its palm, instantly condensing into a massive blood blade ten zhang long!

On the blood blade, the red light was blinding, and countless twisted resentful souls floated and wailed within it.

It carried a sharp whistle that tore through the Void Realm, locked onto Su Changge's aura, and came tearing through the air!

This strike was fast to the extreme, and tyrannical to the extreme!

Su Changge felt as if his Divine Soul had been locked on, the surrounding space completely sealed off by the killing intent of the blood blade, with his retreat cut off.

He watched helplessly as the blood-colored rainbow rapidly magnified in his vision, the shadow of death enveloping him completely as never before.
