It was as if real Thunderbolts were descending, a heavenly punishment that struck the Wandering Souls closest to Fengdu City and utterly annihilated them!

"Ah, it’s the Soul Collectors, the Ten Halls of Yama! They aren’t dead!"

"Why won’t you let us enter Fengdu City to be reincarnated?!"

"I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this!"

The Wandering Souls no longer dared to advance, instead letting out furious roars and piercing screams!

Just then, a host of figures dressed in official robes and tall hats flew out from within the city.

There were a full ninety of them.

The Divine Soul Thoughts of these figures were all perfectly formed and brimming with power; they had all reached the Dao Realm!

"Hmph. So noisy. It seems all of you want your souls annihilated!"

"Unwilling? Then you can all be sacrifices to Fengdu City!"

"And you, who exactly are you, to be able to enter the Underworld in your physical body?! Who sent you?!"

The moment the words were spoken, one of the men, dressed in white and holding an iron chain, attacked. The chain moved like a divine dragon, imbued with scorching waves of Spirit, as it shot violently toward Wang Xiao!

"You mean to capture me?!"

Wang Xiao snapped his head up, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of Space to land on the white-robed man!

The next moment, an endless power of Gang Qi and magnetic fields churned to life.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

The chain hurtling toward Wang Xiao shattered, piece by piece, the destruction traveling all the way back along its length to the white-robed man.

BANG!

The white-robed man instantly exploded, his very soul annihilated!

The remaining figures from the city stared at Wang Xiao, expressions of pure terror appearing in their eyes.

They had all been Dao Realm experts in the past. Only after death did they come to Fengdu City and take up the positions of the Ten Halls of Yama!

But they had never seen any Dao Realm expert who possessed such immense power.

To be able to remotely annihilate the Yin Spirit of White Impermanence!

This power was far beyond the Dao Realm!

"Damn it, something’s not right about this man! We have to get out of here!"

"Let’s go! We’re no match for him."

"Inform the Lord of the Mansion!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

In an instant, the figures no longer dared to confront Wang Xiao, instead flying toward the city center at top speed.

A pool of water flowed there!

The pool was extraordinary—it hung inverted in the sky, flowing slowly upward from bottom to top, like a waterfall in reverse!

A strange, indescribable power emanated from within it.

Its waters reflected countless scenes: people being born, aging, falling ill, and dying; Heaven and Earth cycling through the seasons; plants taking root, sprouting, and withering away!

It was as if everything was cycling through Reincarnation within its depths!

’The Reincarnation Pool!’

Wang Xiao gazed at the square, clear pool in the distance, his eyes glinting.

Just then, the Book of Space-Time in his mind began to emit a soft, golden glow.

From within it came the faint sound of pages turning.

"Did I say you could leave?!"

Sensing the fluctuations from the Book of Space-Time, Wang Xiao suppressed the tremor in his heart. An intense magnetic force instantly swept out, blanketing the area in every direction!

The figures trying to flee were all frozen in place.

Then, Wang Xiao’s body began to grow, and grow, until he was as tall as Fengdu City itself!

With a wave of his giant hand, he seized all the Dao Realm Yin Spirits.

A surging Divine Thought swept out.

He began to perform a Soul Search on these Dao Realm Yin Spirits.

A short while later, a glint appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.

’Just as I suspected. Zhao Yin’s Yin Spirit is incredibly weak right now. It barely ever awakens!’

’According to the information from their Yin Spirits, Zhao Yin’s primary consciousness is most likely hidden inside the Reincarnation Pool.’

Wang Xiao waved his giant hand.

RUMBLE!

The Dao Realm Yin Spirits shot out like cannonballs, flying toward every corner of Fengdu City!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Yin Spirits smashed into different parts of Fengdu City, setting off thunderous explosions.

The savage power began to destroy the entire city, as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated!

Wang Xiao intended to force Zhao Yin’s primary consciousness out of the Reincarnation Pool and then eliminate it.

Only then could he refine the Reincarnation Pool in peace.

Wang Xiao’s colossal form moved steadily toward the Reincarnation Pool.

The city crumbled in his wake!

It dissolved into brilliant motes of thought, which Wang Xiao then blasted into oblivion!

Behind Wang Xiao, the vast horde of Wandering Souls followed, also making a beeline for the Reincarnation Pool at the heart of Fengdu City.

「A short while later.」

The Reincarnation Pool was now within reach.

Little was left of Fengdu City; Wang Xiao had destroyed it so thoroughly that it had all but ceased to exist.

"Thank you, Master Wang! We can finally undergo Reincarnation."

"I hope I can be reborn as a human in the next life!"

"In my next life, I will cultivate too, and I will never be trapped in the cycle of Reincarnation again!"

The Wandering Souls, moving with incredible speed, followed Wang Xiao to the edge of the Reincarnation Pool.

They moved to leap into the pool, intending to use its power to reincarnate.

However, just as they did...

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP—

Suddenly, the sound of a heartbeat echoed from within the Reincarnation Pool. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Then, an immense suction force instantly erupted from the Reincarnation Pool.

The churning water of the pool became a monstrous torrent, sucking in all the Wandering Souls that were rushing toward it.

WHOOSH—

An intensely powerful, ghostly wind howled through the Space.

Amidst the howling, the consciousness that made up Fengdu City slowly converged, gradually forming a Yin Spirit.

This Yin Spirit slowly opened its eyes, its appearance identical to Zhao Yin’s!

At this moment, Zhao Yin’s slumbering Yin Spirit finally awoke.

A hint of exhaustion showed in his eyes. He seemed half-awake, dazed and exuding an aura of weakness.

"What’s going on? Why did I wake up early? Could it be... has my Split Soul finished refining all the bodies?!"
