953: The ultimate imperial might is truly monstrous.

Boom!

Under the eruption of Supreme Emperor Might, everything was destroyed.

Taking the Desolate Temple area as the core, a radius of three hundred li was instantly razed to the ground.

Space shattered, the ground collapsed, riddled with holes and crisscrossing ravines, full of destructive power.

Rolling thick smoke shot into the sky, obscuring vision. The Supreme Dao Power lingered for a long time, filling the heavens and earth, causing Divine Souls to tremble and goosebumps to rise.

This area, under the bombardment of the supreme emperor artifact, had become barren, as if transformed into a forbidden zone.

After a while.

Lin Qinghuang flew up into the Void Realm. Three supreme emperor artifacts hovered above her head. She took a step, spanning a thousand meters, and flew forward.

The Demon Ape at the half-saint realm still couldn't withstand the Supreme Emperor Might. Before the Emperor Might, all things seemed incredibly small.

Three thousand meters away.

Xie Weilou's Bronze Battle Armor dissipated, transforming into a bracelet. His face was somewhat pale, and he gave a bitter smile, "This Supreme Emperor Might is truly abnormal!"

With the protection of the Bronze Battle Armor and the ten thousand souls banner, he still suffered some repercussions, but fortunately, the problem wasn't severe.

As for Marquis Zhenyu, he was currently ten meters ahead, lying on the ground, his body broken and mangled, his aura chaotic, with only half a life left.

He was affected by the Supreme Emperor Might and used many treasures to resist, but still couldn't hold out.

Demon God Power and Dark Power could help Marquis Zhenyu recover, but having been affected by the terrifying Emperor Might, his injuries were too severe to recover in a short time.

This also saved Xie Weilou the trouble of continuing to attack.

Lin Qinghuang appeared before Xie Weilou. She glanced at him and said teasingly, "Couldn't withstand the aftershock?"

Xie Weilou glared at Lin Qinghuang, "That was Supreme Emperor Might! What do you think it was, an ordinary aftershock of power? Honestly, you woman, are you trying to murder your husband?"

Lin Qinghuang rolled her eyes. With a flick of her sleeve, the Demon Ape's Divine Soul flew from the eastern wasteland tower towards Xie Weilou. "It only has a remnant soul left."

Xie Weilou was not polite, directly incorporating this remnant soul into the ten thousand souls banner. After all, it was a half-saint remnant soul; with some cultivation, it might even reach its Peak state.

"What a pity for its Physical Body."

Xie Weilou expressed a slight regret. If he had obtained the half-saint corpse skeleton, along with this remnant soul, controlling the Corpse Skeleton with the remnant soul would surely result in considerable power.

Lin Qinghuang shook her head, "Whether it's supreme emperor artifacts or other trump cards, there's always a limit. Only one's own power has no limit. To walk the path of the extreme, one must rely on oneself."

Both she and Xie Weilou had trump cards, but using them too much wasn't necessarily a good thing.

It was easy to become reliant and neglect one's own Cultivation. Over time, this would lead to big problems.

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the reminder, wife. Listening to your words is like listening to words."

"Are you itching for a beating?"

Lin Qinghuang gritted her silver teeth and glared fiercely at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou chuckled lightly. He held the ten thousand souls banner and walked towards Marquis Zhenyu, looking down at him, "You couldn't even withstand the aftershock of Emperor Might, and you still want to escape? What were you thinking?"

Marquis Zhenyu struggled to open his eyes, glaring venomously at Xie Weilou, "In victory and defeat, you little beast, do not humiliate me. Kill or flay me, do as you please!"

Things had come to this, and he had nothing more to say. Defeated was defeated.

He only regretted not acting sooner to personally deal with this little beast, allowing him to become a major threat.

"As you wish, I can send you on your way! But if you want to die now, it won't be that easy."

The ten thousand souls banner in Xie Weilou's hand instantly pierced Marquis Zhenyu's head, impaling it.

"Ah..."

Marquis Zhenyu let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Enter the Banner!"

A cold glint flickered in Xie Weilou's eyes. The ten thousand souls banner erupted with a devouring force, forcibly pulling Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul directly into the Soul Banner.

After a few breaths.

Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul completely entered the ten thousand souls banner.

...

Xie Weilou glanced at Marquis Zhenyu's Physical Body, and without hesitation, directly incinerated it into ashes with a single flame.

However, the black scale on the back of Marquis Zhenyu's hand was not incinerated and still exuded powerful Demon God Power.

He picked up Marquis Zhenyu's Storage Ring and the black scale, put away the ten thousand souls banner, and said with a smile, "Perfect ending."

Lin Qinghuang handed a golden Bodhi seed to Xie Weilou, "This item was obtained from the Demon Ape; it's quite a good thing."

This Bodhi seed was not an ordinary item, but a Saint Bodhi, definitely considered a Buddhist treasure with many effects.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "The Demon Ape was killed by you; you keep this item! I have too many good things on me and can't use them all for now."

"Alright."

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently and put away the Saint Bodhi.

Xie Weilou said, "Let's find a place. I'll search Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul. I hope it has the answers I want."

"Mhm!"

Lin Qinghuang put away the three supreme emperor artifacts.

——————

On a mountain.

Xie Weilou conjured the ten thousand souls banner, formed a seal, and restrained Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul. He said coldly, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Marquis Zhenyu emitted a Divine Soul voice, "This Marquis knows your origin and what you want to investigate, but unfortunately, you are destined not to get the answers you want from me."

"Is that so?"

A cold glint flickered in Xie Weilou's eyes, and he immediately probed Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul.

After some probing, he found that Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul, like those of other Heavenly Hall members, contained terrifying Restrictions.

If he directly Soul Searched, the Restrictions would erupt, causing the Divine Soul to turn to ashes.

Thus, he still had to use the ten thousand souls banner to Refine Soul this Divine Soul and seize a portion of its memories.

"A dignified Peak Venerable, considered a magnate, yet planted with Divine Soul Restrictions like a slave. How ridiculous!"

Xie Weilou scoffed with cold words.

Even Venerables were planted with Divine Soul Restrictions; this had to be an acknowledgment that the Heavenly Hall was indeed terrifying.

The Heavenly Hall's ability to stand in the Eastern Wasteland and become a behemoth certainly had its reasons.

Marquis Zhenyu emitted a sinister Divine Soul fluctuation, "little beast, how do you know the terror of the Heavenly Hall? Once targeted by the Heavenly Hall, you are certain to die. This Marquis will wait for you below first."

Xie Weilou had long been targeted by the Heavenly Hall, and he had even massacred Heavenly Hall members and even seized the Heavenly Hall Master's yellow springs heavenly coffin. This was already an unending feud.

He naturally understood the Heavenly Hall's methods: once they targeted a goal, they would not stop until the goal was destroyed.

This little beast, Xie Weilou, was so arrogant; one day, he would surely die by the Heavenly Hall's hands.

"Soul Refining!"

Xie Weilou didn't bother with further words, directly activating the ten thousand souls banner to furiously Refine Soul Marquis Zhenyu's Divine Soul.

"Ah..."

Marquis Zhenyu let out a bloodcurdling scream, his Divine Soul constantly trembling.

This pain of Soul Refining was dozens of times more agonizing than the destruction of his Physical Body...
