Deep in the Sea Domain of Nihility where the Soul Clan members gathered…

After this place had borne Shi Yan’s destruction, the Soul Clan had rebuilt it slowly, returning it to its former luxury. Cold air rolled above the perpetual mountain ranges and the spooky, green colored jack-o’-lanterns hovered in the air. There were fixed departed ghosts everywhere that they used to activate or practice some techniques.

The gray clouds in the sky were lowered, casting shadows on the entire place. It would be very difficult to enter the place if the warriors weren’t familiar with the Soul Clan’s topography.

At this moment, most of the members of the Soul Clan cultivating in this place didn’t have a high realm. Most of them were at the King God Realm, Original God Realm, and Ethereal God Realm. Still, they had some Immortal Realm experts to guard the base.

Between so many mountains ranges was a vast sea with green but murky water, ghost cries audible everywhere. With a closer look, people could see a ghost wiggling on the surface. But soon, it was pulled into the sea one more time.

Several hundred experts of the Soul Clan at the Incipient God Realm and Immortal Realm were scattered around the green sea. The soul altars hovered like the mountains above their heads, which looked dark and were surrounded by so many brutal souls.

Hundreds of soul altars were urged, creating the soul power that snatched at the green sea.

That green sea constantly released a magical power that stabilized the void. It was invisible to the eyes but rippled like waves. Just like a massive hand, this sort of energy pressed down and stopped any space formation from being established.

During ten thousand years, the Sea Domain of Nihility had never had an expert at Territory Ancestor Realm who cultivated the Space power Upanishad. Because of this reason, the Soul Clan hadn’t defended their homeland carefully, which had allowed Shi Yan to tear the space and intrude this center, slaughtering so many experts here.

After that bloody catastrophe, Serene Prison had reopened the great Space Defending Formation before he left this time. Moreover, he had ordered his fellows to not relax for even a second. They had to maintain the suppression of that formation on the space around the base and must ensure that no one could use Space power Upanishad to enter this area.

This time, he had deployed many experts, and couldn’t return in a short while on top of that. To prevent the horrible incident, he had left a wisp of his soul to help his fellows seal the space.

On the green sea, the rocky-hard space suddenly shook. The members of the Soul Clan releasing their soul altars around the sea felt the tremor instantly. Their faces turned solemn as they adjusted their power to accumulate more God power.

Innumerable green air currents shot out of the Sea of Consciousness of many soul altars, which all poured into the green sea. Flows of Soul Consciousness collected and poured the God power into that sea as all the experts there were trying to seal the space.

They understood that the previous commotion was caused by some supernatural ability of Space to make a passage. Someone wanted to intrude into the center of the Soul Clan.

They would never allow it!

“We’ve got some intruders! All members pay attention! We must stop them from connecting spaces!” said a Commander at the Peak of Immortal Realm. He was riding on a hawk-like brutal soul, shouting with a gloomy voice to alert all members of the Soul Clan.

Many members of the Soul Clan were mobilized to the adjacent areas by the green sea. They urged their power to contribute to strengthening the sealing power.

Slowly, the abnormal incident in the void ceased; it seemed that the intruders had given up.

After one hour, the Soul Clan experts exhaled in relief when nothing changed. They thought that the intrusion was over and they didn’t need to put in more power.

Outside the Soul Clan, a light saber slashed from the thick clouds along with numerous shadows moving rapidly.

Emperor Sea Shark led this group, with Audrey, Ming Hao, Adele, Xuan He, and Frederick following him. They came from the Cloud Mist Territory, bringing several thousand experts who were all experts from the major star areas in Desolate Territory. They had followed Shi Yan to this place that year.

“Shi Yan said that it would be tough to pierce through the defending space and landing at the center of the Soul Clan. After that incident, the Soul Clan has learned their lesson.” Ming Hao stood inside the cloud, his eyes cold and dark. “He’s connecting to the Phantom Clan and White Bone Clan and has to create the space passage, so he can’t be here. He told us to figure out a way to open a hole and break the sealing formation first.”

After a period of staying and cultivating in the Cloud Mist Territory, together with Emperor Sea Shark’s support, Ming Hao was just one step away from the Territory Ancestor Realm at this moment. He just needed to accumulate more God power and soul power to reach the next realm.

Xuan He and Azure Dragon had also reached this bottleneck, seeming to be able to see the Territory Ancestor Realm’s threshold.

“The homelands of the seven clans are protected with layers of danger. Outsiders must move carefully step by step to get in. It’s not an easy task!” Emperor Sea Shark looked stern. “Shi Yan could get in there easily because of his Space supernatural ability. He could move around the barriers and restrictions. Otherwise, even he couldn’t have sneaked into their lands that easily.”

“Do you mean it would be very tough to break the barriers and restrictions outside?” asked Ming Hao coldly.

Emperor Sea Shark nodded, “If we use our force to do that, we will have to pay a bloody price. If you don’t believe me, I will try it first. You guys stay here and watch.”

Emperor Sea Shark didn’t wait for Ming Hao to voice his opinion. He immediately urged his God power, spinning his soul altar.

A crystal clear river shot out of his glabella, containing rocks, mosses, and even small fishes, making it look not much different from a real river. The ones standing near him could even smell the steam…

Anyway, Ming Hao and Xuan He knew that the more realistic this little river was, the more powerfully magical it was. Since it was created by his God power and pure soul power, it could promote the genuine power of Nature, which was unimaginably strong.

They focused on that river, watching it pierce through layers of clouds and directly hit the defending barrier.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

All of a sudden, billions of ghosts and departed souls screeched and shrieked from inside the thick clusters of clouds, their aura being spooky and glum. Just like the terrifying soul attacks, the little streams were torn apart into so many drops of water, vanishing in the air.

Emperor Sea Shark backed off as if he just got a hard hit on his chest. He staggered backward, his face frightened. “The power of this barrier is so fierce that I almost got hurt. Damn it! It’s much more powerful than I thought!”

He had the strongest realm in this group, and Ming Hao and Xuan He knew how bold he was. Even he got hurt using his energy to attack the barrier, so who else could break that barrier?

It seemed that they would fail Shi Yan’s expectation.

“It’s really tough,” Adele shook her head, talking reluctantly. “Seems like we can’t rush. We must be careful. I think we should just slowly wear it out. We shouldn’t force it too much… Hey, girl! What are you doing!”

She screamed before she could finish her sentence, then rolled her eyes at Audrey while yelling, “Come back here! Right now!”

As people were surprised, Audrey had turned into a gloomy shadow, flying toward the barrier of the Soul Clan even though it had just hurt Emperor Sea Shark.

Emperor Sea Shark gawked while rubbing his forehead. “Didn’t she hear me?” he asked in surprise.

“Er…” Ming Hao didn’t know what to say.

“Members of the Imperial Dark Tribe, follow me! Remember to use the techniques I’ve taught you lately.” Suddenly, Audrey turned to her mother and Ming Hao and spoke, “Those secret techniques come from the scriptures of the Soul Clan. Our Imperial Dark Tribe and the Soul Clan are somehow similar. As long as you use those techniques to control your power, the barriers wouldn’t attack us.”

Then, her beautiful body thrust deep into the clouds. Magically, the barrier that had reacted furiously to Emperor Sea Shark’s exploration didn’t do anything to her…

She got through the defending barrier easily.

Everybody was bewildered for a short moment when they saw her get into the land of the Soul Clan, but they came back to their senses and reacted quickly. They turned to observe the Imperial Dark Tribe members, Ming Hao, and Adele, a group of lanky warriors.

“She’s right! None of us is more familiar with the Soul Clan than her. She got Neptune’s Soul Refining Cauldron and Singh’s brutal souls. She knows all things about the Soul Clan, including these barriers and restrictions…”

Ming Hao looked pensive, then smiled and nodded at Adele. Just like a ghost, he followed her and pierced through the barriers of the Soul Clan.

He successfully got through the life-taking barriers, which were all ineffective on him. He had used his action to prove Audrey’s presumption.

Adele’s eyes brightened and she immediately ordered her clansmen, “All fellows who cultivate the secret techniques, let’s use them to get inside.”

Many warriors of the Imperial Dark Tribe screamed, using their actions to respond to Adele’s order as they turned into dim shadows like ghosts and got through the cloudy barriers.

They disappeared one after another, and no one got hit.

Piercing through the barrier, Audrey arrived in the Soul Clan’s ancestral land, which was even bigger than several planets. Deep inside the clouds were mountain ranges, and everything else one could find on an ordinary planet. The Soul Clan warriors were seen moving and working wherever one’s sight went.

Audrey soon found the green sea and the numerous experts surrounding it. She saw strange energy arising from the sea to strengthen this independent space. This sort of energy served to protect the place and prevent any space energy from attacking.

She knew what they were doing, and also why Shi Yan didn’t use his old trick of using space energy to make a passage leading directly to the Soul Clan’s center.

“Get out here!”

Seeing Ming Hao, her mother, and fellows arrive, Audrey wore a calm face, her eyes shining brightly.

The Soul Refining Cauldron, an Absolute Beginning divine weapon, emerged above her head like a sinister mountain. The tadpole symbols on it were moving slowly while brutal souls soared up from the massive cauldron, hissing and crying inaudibly.

“The Soul Refining Cauldron!”

“It’s the Soul Refining Cauldron!”

Members of the Soul Clan lifted their heads to watch, and couldn’t help but scream in fright, their countenances turning pale. They all knew that the Soul Refining Cauldron didn’t belong to Neptune anymore; someone had snatched it. Moreover, they had recognized that the enemies had actually intruded their land, unlike what they had thought just now.
