"How did you manage to do it?"

In fact, Han Yu was quite curious. Could it be that cultivators in the Divine Platform Realm naturally achieve immortality?

That’s impossible, Chasing Soul shook his head with firm disbelief.

As for the way they obtained immortality, Han Yu found it rather unbelievable.

Because Chasing Soul’s answer was...

"Wait for instructions."

"Anyway, when the sub-soul was sent to the Endless Sea Domain, it was informed that it had gained immortality, which is why it could guard the Endless Sea Domain for hundreds of thousands of years."

After hearing this, Han Yu found it both absurd and nonsensical.

Could such a thing as immortality be decided with just a word?

"Fool, this only shows how terrifying these two forces are."

The Artifact Spirit, which had been silent all along, suddenly interjected in the Sea of Consciousness at this moment.

Its expression was extremely solemn, as it believed what Chasing Soul said, thus becoming even more wary of the Yama Hall and the Celestial Dao Sect.

However, Han Yu felt something was off because those unlucky ones who fell by his hand, after being reduced to mere mortals, were just like ordinary humans.

Where did they show any signs of immortality?

Take Old Ghost Xin Zui, for example. After being chopped by the West River Slash, wasn’t he also on the verge of collapse?

"So, their immortality is a certain state attached to the cultivator, only then can it be cut down by the West River Slash."

The Artifact Spirit snapped its fingers and concluded.

As they spoke, a deep passageway suddenly appeared before the two.

Towards this passageway, both felt a strange sense.

In Han Yu’s memory, entering such passageways generally did not bode well.

In Chasing Soul’s memory, entering such passageways was primarily for doing bad deeds.

After entering the passageway, Chasing Soul suddenly had a feeling.

"To say this, you may not believe it, these places have existed longer than my life."

Based on the memories left by the sub-soul, these places existed long before he came to the Endless Sea Domain.

Maybe two thousand years ago, maybe three thousand years ago...

"So, you think, why would they let you simply destroy something they have planned for so long?"

As they spoke, the two arrived at a large square, with towering stone pillars and an empty altar.

After taking a glance, Han Yu couldn’t help but move forward, at which point Chasing Soul was unwilling to follow.

"This body of mine is second-hand, getting close to that thing makes my soul feel like it’s being sucked away."

Chasing Soul warned apprehensively.

His spiritual treasure body wasn’t as integrated with the soul as a flesh body would be, and from the sub-soul’s memories, it was best not to get too close.

Han Yu proceeded forward until he reached the steps, where he began to feel something.

An invisible pull seemed to try to extract something from his body.

"Is this thing trying to snatch my body?"

The Artifact Spirit suddenly shouted in the Sea of Consciousness, nearly startling Han Yu.

No wonder he felt something was off, it turned out it wanted to pull the Artifact Spirit away.

"Can you hold on?"

Han Yu quickly asked.

"I’m fine, but watch out for your own soul. As long as I don’t leave voluntarily from the Sea of Consciousness, it can’t harm me."

The Artifact Spirit warned full of earnestness.

Han Yu suddenly stepped forward meaningfully. Even though the pull was stronger, nothing happened in the end.

After another step forward, the blank altar suddenly lit up, and mysterious runes floated up from the altar, immediately scaring Chasing Soul, who was not far behind, into fleeing.

As the runes shone more brightly, they also brought a tremendous force.

After failing to pull the soul repeatedly, it seemed determined to pull Han Yu in as well.

Hmph!

With a cold snort from Han Yu, the green stone bricks behind him immediately shattered, countless vines burst forth from the ground, firmly grasping him, and innumerable soil rolled out to form giant hands protecting him.

The tug of war lasted a full quarter of an hour until the runes seemed to gradually lose their power, dimming before slowly settling back onto the altar.

"It’s indeed not so easy to destroy."

The Artifact Spirit sighed. If Han Yu’s body hadn’t been strong enough, able to protect the soul, any Divine Platform Realm cultivator would have been overtaken.

Should we try destroying it?

Han Yu always liked putting ideas into action, especially those whimsical thoughts, commonly known as courting death.

As he buried the energy of the Fire Series divine techniques around the altar as if it cost nothing, the Artifact Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness couldn’t help but feel a bit on edge.

"It’s best to be as far away as possible later."

It repeatedly warned.

Who knows what strange things might happen.

After completing all this, Han Yu turned and ran. Chasing Soul, this guy, was too afraid of death and was already waiting at the entrance.

After giving him a shout, he quickly left with Chasing Soul, who was still puzzled.

They moved a good two to three miles away, and only after confirming no one was around, Han Yu activated his earlier setup.

The sound of the mountain shaking and the earth moving could be heard even here, and the ground couldn’t stop trembling.

"Did you blow up the altar?"

Chasing Soul turned around, looking like he’d seen a ghost. Are you truly fearless!

When everything returned to tranquility, they assumed nothing else would happen.

Soon, a greater commotion appeared. From a bird’s-eye view, within ten miles of the altar’s location, a massive suction force suddenly emerged, frantically pulling everything within range into itself.

Han Yu and Chasing Soul were also within this range, especially Chasing Soul, feeling as if his soul was gripping onto this broken body to avoid being sucked away. This force targeted not just souls, but everything in the world.

Are you insane!

Why provoke it for no reason!

Chasing Soul was on the verge of tears. Had he known Han Yu could cause such trouble, he wouldn’t have come along.

Han Yu was suffering in silence, clearly having overestimated many potential backlashes, unexpectedly underestimated its power in the end.

Luckily, in his haste, he laid down the giant wood phantom. The hundred-zhang phantom stood firm in this suction force, and the two used it to begin their strategic retreat.

Beyond ten miles, when looking back.

The vicinity within ten miles of that location had formed a massive crater, making the two feel heart palpitations.

"So, any cultivator trying to destroy the altar might not have a chance to escape."

Unless it was Han Yu, or the destroyer was strong enough!

Chasing Soul admitted while quietly breaking into a nervous sweat, realizing the meaning behind destroying the altar was greatly diminished.

From the looks of it, possibly across the entire Central Continent, besides Han Yu, there’s probably no one else capable of doing such a thing and coming out alive.

Either that, or Han Yu would have to go and uproot altar after altar.

Who knows how many more altars await!

"I told you Central Continent was full of leaks and you wouldn’t believe me."

Chasing Soul shook his head, losing hope in the Central Continent.

In Sea Stone City, news from Quan Xiaotong was mixed.

The bad news was that several mansion cities had fallen.

The good news was that quite a few mansion cities had the opportunity to evacuate.

Among the Nine Sects, apart from those few who had suffered catastrophic disasters, the remaining ones had already completed their evacuations in advance.

Besides that, the leaders of the Nine Sects had all gathered at Sea Stone City, and even some Sect Leaders from major sects were arriving one after another.

At this moment, Quan Xiaotong looked at Mo Xiuwen with bright eyes.

Because according to the reports from the Mo Family, Mo Xiuwen had the capability to create mechanisms that could kill those Divine Platform Realm cultivators.

This wasn’t the key point, the key point was that operating these mechanisms wasn’t selective.

Of course, if cultivators could control them, the results would be even better.

Mo Xiuwen nodded, indeed, the third revised mechanism could reach such a level.

However, there was a critical flaw.

"This thing consumes too many Spirit Stones."

Although the power was sufficient, this thing devoured Spirit Stones without mercy.

"Spirit Stones are not a problem!"

The Sect Leader of a major sect spoke, they had Spirit Stone veins.

Not only did they have them, the Nine Sects had them too, let alone the Fifth Tower.

"Currently, with the seniors in Sea Stone City, along with us, it’s not an overstatement to say we represent the entire Cultivator Realm. If it’s just Spirit Stones, feel free to use them."

Yet there was still a problem, Mo Xiuwen frowned deeply, finally speaking after a while.

"The mechanism is too cumbersome, it can serve as a defense, but carrying it around would be inconvenient."

Even with high cultivation, carrying such a large load was extremely troublesome.

Quan Xiaotong finally decided, "If it can defend, that’s enough. Central Continent doesn’t yet have the capability to counterattack."
