Chapter 422: Annihilating a Dou Saint

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Above Holy Pill City, deafening explosions echoed through the sky as terrifying energy fluctuations swept across the horizon.

Even the spatial barrier that had been shrouding this area at an unknown time was violently rippling with faint cracks spreading.

Xuan Kong Zi was currently engaged in a battle with four Honorable Elders of the Hall of Souls. He sneered, clenched his fist, and struck the four of them from a distance, seizing an opportunity.

"Pfft!"

His fist struck the empty space, causing the surrounding space to shatter. Four exceptionally terrifying invisible fist imprints penetrated through the void, following an eerie trajectory, and landed on the chests of the four Honorable Elders. Immediately, bone-cracking sounds rang out, and the four spewed out blood mixed with fragments of their internal organs. Under the force of the terrifying impact, they crashed down to the city below, their life or death uncertain.

With just one strike, all four Dou Venerates were defeated. Xuan Kong Zi's strength truly lived up to one of the Three Giants of the Pill Tower.

Xuan Kong Zi didn't pursue further; instead, he surveyed his surroundings and found the situation to be stable. He then flew straight towards where Xiao Ming was.

At this moment, Xiao Ming and First Tianzun were enveloped in a twisted and illusory sphere, making it difficult to see them clearly.

Outside the sphere, the First Elder of the Small Pill Tower stood in the void with a grave expression, gazing at the sphere.

"First Elder, how is Xiao Ming doing?"

"He's having a soul battle with the First Tianzun," the First Elder said quietly, withdrawing his gaze.

"To call it a soul battle might not be accurate. It's more like he's single-handedly slaughtering First Tianzun. After all, the pressure from his soul power is extremely strong, even I can sense it," the First Elder said, showing a hint of oddness on his face. After cultivating for so many years, he never expected to be surpassed by a young junior in his twenties. It was truly a rare experience.

He couldn't help but recall how he had tried to stop First Tianzun when he attacked Xiao Ming earlier. Now it seemed he had underestimated him.

"A soul battle?" Xuan Kong Zi was taken aback, then looked towards the sphere, but he couldn't see anything.

"Your soul power is much weaker; you won't be able to see anything. Even I can barely sense it," the First Elder explained.

"Should we help Xiao Ming?" Xuan Kong Zi asked.

"We can't help him. Once you get close, your soul will be drawn in, and long-range attacks will be wiped out by Xiao Ming's powerful soul power. Besides, he is dealing with First Tianzun with ease; there's no need for us to intervene," the First Elder shook his head slightly.

"How is this possible!"

"It can't be true! It must be a trick!"

"Quick, retreat!"

"..."

While the Hall of Souls members were in disbelief, the Pill Tower experts, though surprised, instantly surged with heightened morale.

"Hahaha! Scums of the Hall of Souls, your First Tianzun has been captured. Come and face your demise!"

"Thinking of running? Where do you think you can go!"

"..."

There were still some onlookers who were simply astonished.

"What the heck, is that Xiao Ming? He's holding a Dou Saint, right?! Where did this monster come from?"

"I'm telling you, perhaps some old freak has taken over Xiao Ming's body to cultivate again?"

"..."

Ignoring the surrounding shocked gazes, Xiao Ming directly used his soul to snap First Tianzun's neck and then stored his body in his storage ring.

The body could be considered a treasure in the Dou Saint realm, regardless of race. Xiao Ming, of course, would not let it go to waste. As for First Tianzun's soul, he didn't extract it because he had already erased it with the Silent World. The faint soul aura he felt before was just the residual trace left by the fleshly body.

When the Hall of Souls experts saw First Tianzun being crushed by Xiao Ming, they were instantly terrified.

Finally giving up on the fight, they fled in all directions.

'Wanna run?'

Xiao Ming's eyes flickered, and he was about to act when a terrifying sense of danger overcame him, forcing him to back down.
