Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 685 - 571: Soul Refinement
"Kill!"
As a green-faced ghost prison guard shouted loudly, more than fifty thousand hell prison guards immediately roared and charged towards the ghost sea in front.
The aura between these fierce ghost jailers from different hells interlinked, surprisingly manifesting the phantoms of the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the void, as terrifying and oppressive hellish aura gradually descended.
The fierce ghost wraiths wandering in the ghost sea were instantly seized with fear, turning to flee frantically.
But no matter how fast these fierce ghost wraiths could run, they couldn't escape the clutches of the hell prison guards.
The green-faced ghost prison guards extended their large hands, and regardless of how fast the wraiths ran or how cunning their angles were, they were bizarrely seized by the shoulder and casually thrown into the Eighteen Layers of Hell behind them.
For hell prison guards, facing fierce ghost wraiths was like a cat confronting a mouse.
The absolute suppression of nature allowed fifty thousand prison guards to move through the ghost sea as if entering a land without people.
A large amount of fierce ghost wraiths were thrown into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, screaming under hellfire.
In no time at all, the entire ghost sea was visibly dwindling.
And as the Eighteen Layers of Hell continued to fill up, the guards' strength began to grow, and they captured the wraiths faster and faster.
Under Qi Xiu's watch, as the last fierce ghost was thrown into the Tongue-Ripping Hell.
The entire ghost sea was purged and emptied.
Aside from the thin, ethereal mist, no trace of ghostly figures could be seen.
"Well done."
Surprised by the efficiency of the hell prison guards, these green-faced fierce ghosts born in hell had a fearsome suppression on the soul, Qi Xiu nodded with satisfaction.
Managing to resolve these fierce ghost wraiths so quickly without alarming the Hell Path Divine Artifact was already very good.
"Master is too kind."
Having inherited Tenacity Retention's fervent faith in Qi Xiu, the green-faced ghost prison guards were overjoyed at their master's praise.
"Since the fierce ghost wraiths have already been gathered into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, the rest is up to you."
The fierce ghost wraiths in the ghost sea were all sect disciples of the Hell Dao in ancient times. As one of the Ten Great Demon Sects, each of these devil heads had blood debts and committed countless evil deeds.
Now that they're in hell, new debts and old debts will be settled together.
Let them also experience the taste of being tortured.
"Master need not worry; we know what to do."
Understanding Qi Xiu's implications, the green-faced ghost prison guards grinned. If it were other matters, they might not excel.
But when it comes to torment, each one of them is a grandmaster!
With an eerie, hair-raising laugh, more than fifty thousand hell prison guards returned to their respective hells.
Now comes their specialty.
The phantom of the Eighteen Layers of Hell gradually disappeared, and the guards and fierce ghost wraiths dispersed together.
Hopefully, there won't be any further obstruction...
With the Thunder Seal in hand, Qi Xiu stepped into the ethereal mist.
The closer he got to Fengdu, the more intense the indescribable soul suppression and inexplicable attraction in the void became.
It felt as if invisible hands from the ancient eerie city were grasping your soul, dragging it into the depths of Fengdu.
"With my cultivation in the Immortal Soul Realm, plus the [Suppressing Talisman] suppressing my mind, I can barely resist this strange force's pull.
For ordinary cultivators, even if they reach the Immortal Soul Realm, without special Dharma Gate methods or protections from Magical Treasures, they would struggle to approach Fengdu within ten thousand miles.
No wonder the Acting Sect Leader once said that Fengdu's might surpasses our Shenxiao Sect's Nine Heavens Shenxiao Thunder City.
Even in its dormant, not fully revived state, Fengdu possesses such terrifying power.
If Fengdu were fully revived, even higher soul realms might not be able to approach within its ten thousand miles."
Feeling the ancient and terrifying nature of this Hell Path Divine Artifact, Qi Xiu grasped the Thunder Seal tightly.
If he can't suppress this divine artifact this time.
Once fully revived, it will be a great disaster for our Shenxiao Sect.
Enduring the increasing pressure from the void, Qi Xiu's eyes gleamed with gold.
In the Ancestral Aperture between his brows.
His soul sat in the Hunyuan Palace, which originally stood over a hundred feet tall in the Ancestral Aperture, but was now suppressed by the pressure to less than six feet.
And the soul sitting in Hunyuan Palace was not at ease either, with the Daoist Robe formed by the Primordial Heart Pill fluttering and howling.
Streams of colorful azure light flowed above it, resisting the aura from the Hell Path Divine Artifact.
Entering within a thousand miles of Fengdu.
Qi Xiu's expression revealed a hint of seriousness, with golden light flickering in his eyes, while layers of [Suppressing Talisman] continued to bolster his soul, guarding his mind.
At this moment, each of Qi Xiu's steps was extremely slow.
Though his steps seemed light, each step left a deep footprint on the ground.
The heavy pressure on his soul had already extended to his physical form.
Gazing with flickering eyes at Fengdu a thousand miles away, Qi Xiu took a deep breath, holding a golden Buddha bead given by an old monk in his palm.
"It's a crisis, yet also a tempering.
This Hell Path Divine Artifact is presently in a semi-dream state, releasing this pressure instinctively, without any malicious intent.
Such a natural soul-refining place is indeed rare.
