The Lightning Law was the law with the highest offensive power among all Worldly Laws, and for that reason, the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ Lightning Explosion Star Lord was called an invisible God of War. It was very difficult to practice the Lightning Law, and practicing the Soul Law was even more difficult. This law’s attacks were also more strange.

Normally, when Yang Ling ran into danger, he would take Yuna, Alice, and the rest into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension so they could take refuge in it. But everyone was hallucinating, so he didn’t dare to take action rashly.

Soul attacks were the most mysterious and unfathomable attacks. If he forcibly moved the entranced Corpse Wizard King, Yuna, and the others who were hallucinating, he would protect them from the Sound Demon’s next attack, but he could also prevent them forever from sobering up, and their situation would turn for the worse.

Yang Ling was a Great Soul Wizard, and he knew better than the others the terror and strangeness of soul attacks. At this moment, the best solution was none other than breaking the Sound Demon’s soul attack by force and awakening the crowd quickly.

“Soul Explosion!”

Yang Ling drew help from the Great Wizard Altar and Great Wizard Seal. He launched a soul attack without the least bit of hesitation, and his tremendous Mental Energy formed a web that followed the sound waves’ ripples and attacked their source. It went after the hidden Sound Demon. Subconsciously, Yang Ling also held the Battle Soul Blade in his right hand. Once he found the Sound Demon’s location and locked into his Soul Ripples, he would rush toward him with the Five Elements Evasion Spells and attack.

Soul battles were very dangerous. If one wasn’t careful for even a moment, his soul might be extinguished, and he would fall beyond redemption.

The objective of Yang Ling’s trip was the Death Dimension’s Soul Indicator, and he didn’t want to antagonize the Sound Demon, who had unfathomable powers. But this guy had launched a serious soul attack on them without even questioning them, so Yang Ling was forced to grit his teeth and fight him to protect Yuna, Alice, and the rest of the group.

Sizzle!

After the Soul Explosion, containing a great wizard’s will, had advanced halfway, it ran into a strange obstruction and emitted ear-piercing air explosion noises. It seemed like it had come in contact with the Sound Demon’s soul defense, and a strange saxophone-like noise echoed out. Soon after, the Soul Explosion stopped, and an even more terrifying soul attack flew toward them.

It was now…Soul Shivers!

When the enemy’s attack paused for an instant, Yang Ling took advantage of this chance and cast the Soul Shivers Wizard Spell with his whole power. He stirred up the souls of the Corpse Wizard King, Yuna, and the others, and he helped them sober up quickly. Then, he waved his hand and moved Yuna, Alice, and the rest into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. He left behind just the Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, the old Dragon Turtle, Kaleisa, the Golden Roc, and a few others.

The Sound Demon’s attack stopped for just a moment, but that was enough for the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling.

“The Demon God Battle Formation; hurry up!”

Yang Ling cast a glance at his group and set up a layer of simple Soul Restriction Spells as fast as he could. As for the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the others, they joined hands and used the Demon God Battle Formation. They had just finished when the Sound Demon’s overwhelming soul attack reached them.

Many ripples appeared in the air, and some spatial fissures that shattered the illusory realm had appeared. The world changed colors, and it seemed like the whole dimension would collapse. Meanwhile, the Soul Restriction Spells set up by Yang Ling emitted a creaking noise and disappeared.

It had a ferocious momentum!

When Yang Ling saw this great attack, his pupils contracted, and he quickly cast Wizard Incantations. In an instant, the Great Wizard Altar revolved, and many mysterious symbols appeared on it. A large cloud of Crystal Mist also emanated from the Soul Crystal in his brain, enveloping the Golden Roc, the Corpse Wizard King, and the other people closest to the Great Wizard Altar.

BANG!

The sound waves that contained the Sound Demon’s soul attack struck the thick Crystal Mist hard and emitted a deafening rumble. The Corpse Wizard King and his companions shivered. Their protective red halo got dimmer, and their faces turned pale. The Great Wizard Altar, which had been revolving, stopped suddenly, and Yang Ling, who sat cross-legged on it, groaned. Blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth.

What an amazing soul attack!

After he used the Crystal Mist and Great Wizard Altar to weaken the opponent’s attack, he felt full of spirit. He didn’t bother with wiping the bloodstains on the corners of his mouth. He decisively fused his Soul Energy with the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the rest, and they attacked at full-power. He gritted his teeth and launched a ferocious counter-attack.

Sizzle!

This time wasn’t the same as the previous one. This time, Yang Ling compressed his tremendous Mental Energy and formed a thread thinner than a cobweb. This thread followed the sound waves and launched a fierce counterattack. A sizzling noise rang out, and the thread attacked the opponent’s soul defense.

“Huh?”

A surprised cry suddenly came from the depths of the valley, accompanied by a snort and a few wispy Soul Ripples. It seemed like the enemy that faced Yang Ling’s sharp counterattack didn’t get the upper hand. Yang Ling was a Great Soul Wizard, and his Soul Energy was very tremendous. In addition, he’d fused it with the Soul Energy of the Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, and other powerful people, and it had reached a terrific level.

He’d stopped seeing the Corpse Wizard King and his companions as a trump card, and he’d finally put them into use.

It was a pity, though, that he didn’t have enough time to craft Magical Divine Rings for the old Dragon Turtle, Kaleisa, and the Golden Roc. If he had, he would have been able to get their Soul Energy, and he would have been able to teach the Sound Demon a lesson. If this had been the case, even if the Sound Demon hadn’t died, he would still have sustained serious injuries.

Roar!

The Golden Roc let out an angry roar and followed the Sound Demon’s Soul Ripples. It launched an attack, releasing Wind Blades that shredded all the trees and rocks in the valley. It took advantage of this chance to destroy the Magical Formation Spell set up by the Sound Demon, then sped up and rushed toward a black-robed old man sitting cross-legged next to the lake.

The Golden Roc’s physical fight ability was very high. Unfortunately, it wasn’t adept at soul attacks and soul defenses. Yang Ling was contending against the hiding Sound Demon, and it had discerned that he was in danger. It already had a bellyful of anger, and it had discovered the opponent. So, how could it let this chance slip by?

Swoosh!

The Golden Roc was very swift, so swift that the black-robed Sound Demon couldn’t dodge in time. He could only face it head-on. With a thump, the Golden Roc’s large claws turned him numb, and the Sound Demon’s body swayed. He almost fell into the cold lake behind him.

The Sound Demon’s soul attacks were very sharp and intense, but in close quarters, it was weaker than the natural Wandering Divine Beast, the Golden Roc.

“Mertesacker, stop!” Yang Ling let out a shout and restrained the Golden Roc, which wanted to chase its target and launch fierce attacks on him. Then, Yang Ling faced the black-robed Sound Demon and said, “We have just come to explore Corolla Valley, and we didn’t know that you were practicing in seclusion here. This was all just a misunderstanding. I’m sorry!”

They had taken this trip to request something from this person. He hadn’t suffered any harm, and this was why Yang Ling didn’t want to confront him any longer. He didn’t want to antagonize the Sound Demon and get in a feud with him. He didn’t want to use power to threaten him or force him to hand over the Star Indicator. He wouldn’t do so unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Ha, a misunderstanding? I’m practicing in seclusion here, yet you have intruded so suddenly. I warned you repeatedly, yet you still rushed inside. Is this a misunderstanding?” The Sound Demon sneered coldly and paused for a moment before he said, “Speak! Why did you intrude here?”

Yang Ling was adept at soul attack and the Golden Roc was adept at close-quarters physical fights. If they cooperated, their fighting prowess would be no small matter. If the Sound Demon was in his peak state, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Unfortunately, he’d just escaped God Prison and his injuries still hadn’t healed. He was forced to hide here to recuperate for many years, and he didn’t dare to take these opponents carelessly. He held a crystal concealed in his hand and made preparations for the worst situation possible.

If they were just wanderers that intruded here inadvertently, then things were still manageable. But if they were experts sent to hunt him down by his enemy, then…

The Sound Demon’s expression was complex as he started making guesses about the identity of Yang Ling and his companions. He observed everything carefully and didn’t overlook any clues. He’d survived by the skin of his teeth many times, and he’d become very prudent.

Yang Ling detected the Sound Demon’s wariness, and he chuckled before tactfully stating his objective. “Sir, I’m really sorry for disturbing your practice. We’ve been looking everywhere for various Dimensions’ Star Indicators, as we plan to travel to other places. We have visited almost all the Wandering Castles, but we couldn’t find them anywhere. I wonder whether you have any ideas?”

Star Indicators?

The Sound Demon used his tremendous Mental Energy and found that Yang Ling’s Soul Ripples didn’t change as he spoke. It seemed like he wasn’t lying, so the Sound Demon could finally heave a sigh of relief. “Speak! Which Dimension’s Star Indicator do you need? I need at least ten days and five million black crystals to craft a new Star Indicator.”

“The Death Dimension, we need the Death Dimension’s Star Indicator.” The Corpse Wizard King didn’t wait for Yang Ling to speak before he stepped forward excitedly.

He finally had hope of traveling to the Death Dimension, and he was more excited than any other. Once he called to mind that he would shortly see his lost daughter, he would always get very excited, and he couldn’t calm down. This was his lifelong wish, and there was finally hope for fulfilling it. The excitement and joy that welled up from the depths of his soul were indescribable.

“What? The Death Dimension?” The Sound Demon was very surprised, and he shook his head helplessly. “I’m very sorry…If you want to visit other Dimensions, I may still be able to help, but none can enter the Death Dimension other than the dead. People with a physical body can’t enter it. Even if I provide you with an accurate Star Indicator, you won’t be able to get in, unless…”

The Sound Demon shook his head. He needed to purchase a large number of precious crystals and rare medical ingredients to treat his injuries quickly, which was why he needed a large number of the black crystals used in all great Dimensions. That was why he’d taken such great risks several hundred years ago and sold a few Star Indicators in the Starry Sky Castle. He had done so to get enough supplies. He discerned that Yang Ling’s team was very wealthy and imposing, so he wanted to make some profit, and then leave this land before his enemies could discover his trail. He could come up with a solution for other Dimensions’ Star Indicators, but he couldn’t provide any help when it came to the Death Dimension.

“Unless what?” The Corpse Wizard King looked sharply at the Sound Demon. He was very nervous; he seemed like a drowning man clasping at the last life-saving straw.

“Undead Beings can escape the Death Dimension through spatial fissures, but it’s nearly impossible to enter it from the outside world, and even if one was very strong, it still wouldn’t be possible, unless one could persuade the lofty Creator or ask for the help of the Unending Ocean’s Heavenly Nun. You could ask her to use the Space-Time Wheel to alter or restrict the Death Dimension’s Worldly Laws,” the Sound Demon said, shaking his head before letting out a helpless sigh.

According to the legends, the Space-Time Wheel was the sole supreme Divine Weapon, and the Creator relied on it to control innumerable Dimensions. The Creator, who treated all beings apathetically, wouldn’t provide help, and even the Creator’s special envoy, the Heavenly Nun who controlled the God Prison, wouldn’t use the Space-Time Wheel to alter a Dimension’s Worldly Rules for an ordinary person.
