Chapter 249: Capturing Souls and Abominations

“Huo Yuhao, you must be feeling desperate right now, right? Have you ever thought about how desperate the soul beasts must be when they are hunted? They also have families and loved ones, but human greed is like the claws of the devil, crushing the soul beasts’ living space step by step. Their cubs are crying for food, their partners are separated from them by life and death, and the source of all this sin is the endless greed of humans!” Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and the flames of hatred burned in his eyes, as if his gaze could penetrate Ye Qian'an. Ye Qian'an's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "The fall of the Xingluo Empire is only the beginning. I will make the humans of Douluo Continent pay a heavy price for their past evil deeds. Next, the Douluo Empire will also be doomed, but... I may not be able to witness that scene with my own eyes." After saying this, a golden light flashed on Ye Qian'an's body, and a clone slowly emerged. His face was exactly the same as his, except for his slightly different temperament. The clone's eyes were cold and resolute, like a killing machine born for revenge, and it had 80% of the original's strength. Ye Qian stared at the clone and ordered softly: "You will carry my will and lead the soul beast army to the Douling Empire, setting off a bloody storm that will scare the human race, and use the soul beasts' grief and hatred to wash away the past shame." The clone nodded silently, ascended the throne wordlessly, raised his hand and took over Ye Qian'an's "rule", began to issue orders to the soul beast army, and prepared to march towards the Douling Empire. Ye Qian nodded slightly, turned around and glanced at Huo Yuhao, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a space crack suddenly appeared: "I will let you out when I attack the Haotian Sect, go ahead." Huo Yuhao’s body was instantly trapped in a dark and chaotic space crack, with only a faint force of space flickering and moving. "It's time to go to the sea." Ye Qian'an looked into the distance and muttered to himself. Dongyang City, a major town in the north of the Sun Moon Empire, is located in the northeast of the north, less than a thousand miles away from the border of the Sky Soul Empire. Because it is close to the ice sea, the army and soul guides stationed in the city are responsible for resisting the invasion of sea soul beasts. The sea soul beasts in the ice sea have both ice and water attributes, and are very powerful. They often go ashore to plunder food and hunt humans. Therefore, Dongyang City is heavily guarded, with a wall that is thirty feet high, and the top of the city is full of offensive and defensive soul guides. There are also more than seventy high-altitude detection soul guides in the sky, which closely monitor the movements of thousands of square kilometers around.

Although located in the north, Dongyang City is extremely prosperous because it is the largest metropolis in the north, attracting countless northerners to be proud to live in this city, and land prices have also risen accordingly. It was getting close to dusk, and the number of people at the city gates was decreasing. In order to prevent the sea soul beasts from attacking, the city gates of Dongyang City would be closed after sunset. At this moment, a golden figure flashed through Dongyang City like lightning. "Huh? That's weird. I came so far in advance, how come I still encountered this kind of thing?" Ye Qian arrived at the north city wall and keenly sensed the auras of two Titled Douluo. "You bold rat!" An angry shout resounded through the sky. Ye Qian frowned slightly, and saw two old-looking Title Douluo flying over from both ends of the city wall, both of them were over 70 years old. When they took off from the soul guide position on the city wall, the linkage defense formation of the entire position was instantly shrouded in gloom and gloom. "Evil soul masters, all must die!" Ye Qian'an snorted coldly and waved his sleeves lightly, and the soul guides in Dongyang City were instantly turned into powder. The two Titled Douluo were horrified upon seeing this. They never expected that Ye Qian'an would dare to destroy the defense foundation of Dongyang City so easily. "You are looking for death!" The evil soul master Titled Douluo on the left roared angrily. He raised his right arm, and nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, suddenly lit up, and a huge black flag appeared in his palm. The flag was black from the pole to the top, and on the flag, countless purple and black wronged souls flickered and wandered. It was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. This Titled Douluo was named Ten Thousand Souls, and he was a powerful existence at level 91. The evil soul master on the other side also released his martial soul. Unlike the weapon martial soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, he was a beast soul master. His body swelled rapidly, his skin seemed to burst, and thick green mist surged out like a tide. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a giant monster with a height of more than 20 meters and a waist circumference of nearly 20 meters. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's figure was as fast as lightning, and he rushed forward in an instant. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner danced wildly in the wind in his hand. A shrill whistle swept out with a rolling dark wind, and countless wronged souls pounced on Ye Qian'an with their fangs and claws. "You are looking down on me by playing such tricks in front of me." Ye Qian'an showed disdain, without moving, but quickly formed seals with his hands in front of his chest. In an instant, a layer of golden light gushed out from the palm of his hand, spreading like a tide, and instantly turned into a huge golden light shield that enveloped it. Once those wronged souls that rushed over touched the light shield, it was like hitting a solid wall. They let out miserable howls and then turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air. Seeing this, Wanhun Douluo's face became even gloomier. He waved the Wanhun Banner in his hand more violently and muttered something. More wronged souls surged out like a black torrent and rushed towards Ye Qian'an again. At the same time, the Hateful Douluo who had transformed into a monster also strode forward. Every step made the earth tremble. The thick green mist spread towards Ye Qian'an like a poisonous python. The mist seemed to contain a strong corrosive force. Wherever it passed, the bricks and stones on the city wall sizzled, as if they were being slowly eroded. Seeing this, Ye Qian snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cold light. He took a step forward, and the golden light on his body surged. The golden light shield expanded rapidly, blocking the torrent of wronged souls and the green mist.

At this moment, a huge chain appeared out of thin air in the hands of Hate Douluo. Looking closely, this chain is made up of huge skulls connected in series. These skulls are not just from humans, but are a collection of skulls from different creatures. They are filled with strong resentment and gloomy aura. At the front of the chain is a sharp hook made of unknown bones. Hateful Douluo swung his hand casually, and the huge chain fell on Ye Qian'an's head like black lightning. Ye Qianan did not dodge or evade, but raised his hand to firmly grasp the skull chain that was coming at him, still with a look of disdain on his face. He pulled hard, and the Hate Douluo was dragged by the huge force and staggered a few steps. The skull chain struggled violently in Ye Qianan's hand, like a group of evil pythons unwilling to be bound, and let out waves of sinister roars. "Boring." Ye Qian snorted again, gathered his soul power in his hand, and suddenly squeezed it hard. With a crisp "crack" sound, the skull chain that seemed indestructible and filled with resentment and gloomy aura was easily crushed by him with one hand. Broken bones and debris fell one after another, and the resentful energy attached to them also dissipated instantly, turning into wisps of black smoke that drifted in the air, emitting painful screams, as if wailing for the destruction of the chain. Seeing this, Hate Douluo was shocked and his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He never thought that his powerful skull chain would be as fragile as a toy in Ye Qian'an's hands. The Ten Thousand Souls Douluo on the other side was also stunned by this scene. Then his sixth soul ring shone, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand was raised high. The black Ten Thousand Souls Banner actually emitted a blue light like blue waves, instantly dyeing the entire flag into a deep blue, like an endless ocean. In this deep blue light, twelve groups of blue ghosts slowly flew out. These ghosts were all dark blue and in different shapes. One of them was a strange creature with a human body and a fish tail. It had long flowing hair and a rich blue light all over its body. Red soul fire was beating in its eye sockets. Ye Qian'an's heart moved and he recognized that this should be the princess of the mermaid clan. The other eleven vengeful spirits also looked strange, but they were all in the form of sea creatures, and were obviously transformed from sea soul beasts. Ye Qi'an was furious that this evil soul master could control the vengeful spirits transformed from sea soul beasts. After the twelve sea soul beast ghosts appeared, except for the mermaid ghost, the other eleven ghosts quickly pounced towards Ye Qian'an, and each of them released a powerful aura. The vengeful mermaid's ghost raised her head slightly and seemed to sigh softly, and then a strange sound came out of her mouth. The sound was gentle and pleasant, but also like crying and complaining, which made people feel sad when they heard it. "You really deserve to die! How dare you use our soul beasts to refine vengeful spirits? The evil soul master clan deserves to be exterminated!" Ye Qian'an stared at Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and Hate Douluo, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm. At this moment, the eleven vengeful spirits surrounded him like vicious wolves. One of them, which looked like a shark, suddenly accelerated, rushed to Ye Qian'an like lightning, opened its bloody mouth and bit him. Ye Qian raised his hand and clenched it gently, and the eleven vengeful spirits were instantly imprisoned in the air. The Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword then appeared in his hand, and he waved it gently, and the eleven vengeful spirits were uncontrollably drawn into the sword's unique purification space. Then, Ye Qian'an's gaze fell on the mermaid ghost and he slowly said, "Come to me." When the mermaid ghost heard this, a trace of struggle and fear flashed in its eyes, but under Ye Qian'an's powerful pressure, it was unable to resist and could only slowly float towards him. Ye Qian'an looked at the approaching mermaid ghost, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I will take you back to the sea." After that, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the mermaid ghost, and a soft divine power was injected into it, as if to soothe her tortured soul. "Please get on the road, both of you!" Ye Qian'an's body was filled with surging divine power, as if golden flames were burning. His hands danced so fast that the air around him trembled. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanhun Douluo desperately waved the Wanhun Banner, trying to summon the vengeful spirits to resist again. However, Ye Qian'an pushed his palms forward, and a huge golden palm of light roared out like a golden sun. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be distorted by the blazing flames, making a "buzzing" sound. The huge body of Hate Douluo hurriedly moved sideways, trying to avoid the fierce attack, and at the same time, a thick green poisonous mist was sprayed from his mouth, trying to interfere with the trajectory of the light palm. But how could Ye Qian'an's soul power be interfered so easily? The golden light palm turned slightly, avoiding the poisonous mist, and slapped Hate Douluo directly like a mountain pressing down on one's head. "Boom!" With a loud noise, it was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. Hate Douluo was hit by the light palm, and his huge body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the city wall heavily. The solid city wall collapsed in an instant, raising dust all over the sky, as if a sandstorm was sweeping in. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo was not spared either. He was swept by the aftermath of the light palm. His body flew out like a spinning top, blood spurting out of his mouth. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner also flew out of his hand and fell to the side. Ye Qian'an flashed and appeared in front of the two men like a ghost. At this time, Wanhun Douluo and Hate Douluo were already dying. They looked at Ye Qian'an in horror, their eyes full of despair and helplessness. "Who do you think you are facing? The one standing before you now is the leader of the soul beast clan, the Golden Dragon King, who is also a god. My name is Ye Qian. How dare you use my people to refine vengeful spirits? This is an unforgivable sin." Ye Qian'an's voice was icy cold, like a verdict from the Netherworld. He slowly raised his hands, and golden light gathered in his palms, gradually turning into two golden chains shining with sacred light. On the chains, ancient runes flickered and jumped faintly, as if telling of a long history and supreme majesty. Ye Qian gently waved the chains, and they entangled towards Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and Hate Douluo like agile golden snakes. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and Hate Douluo widened their eyes in horror and struggled desperately, but their bodies were firmly imprisoned by Ye Qian's divine power and could not move at all. The golden chains quickly bound the two tightly. Their soul power dissipated rapidly like a tide under the restraint of the chains. Their souls seemed to be slowly pulled away by an invisible big hand, wailing in pain. Ye Qian watched all this indifferently, without a trace of ripples in his eyes, as if he was staring at two insignificant ants.

"Don't worry, you won't die yet. You use soul beasts as sacrifices, then I will use you as sacrifices. Just wait, the entire evil soul master clan will be buried with you." After Ye Qian'an said this, he yanked the golden chain with both hands and dragged Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and Abomination Douluo up like a rag bag. Their bodies swayed weakly in the air, their eyes full of fear and despair, like lambs to be slaughtered. Ye Qian continued to exert force with both hands, dragging the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and the Hate Douluo bound by the golden chains, and slowly walked towards the space portal beside him that was rippling with strange ripples. Stepping into the portable space, the surroundings were a chaotic scene, with only a stone platform emitting a cold light standing quietly in the center. Ye Qian waved the golden chain and threw the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and the Hate Douluo heavily onto the stone platform. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and golden runes flew out from his palms like golden meteors, surrounding the stone platform. These runes intertwined and merged with each other, gradually forming a huge sealing formation. As the last rune was embedded in the formation, the formation shone brightly, tightly enveloping the two evil soul masters. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo and Hate Douluo struggled frantically inside the seal. Their soul power was like surging waves, constantly impacting the seal's restrictions. However, with the blessing of Ye Qian'an's divine power, the seal was as solid as a rock and did not move at all. "Just stay here. I will deal with you after I capture all the evil soul masters." Ye Qian'an's cold voice echoed in the space, like the whisper of the god of death. Then, Ye Qian turned around, and his figure gradually disappeared in the portable space. The stone platform that sealed the two evil soul masters still emitted a cold light in the chaos, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the final day of judgment. After dealing with all this, Ye Qian turned around and looked at the mermaid ghost who was quietly waiting on the side. His expression eased a lot and he said softly, "Let's go, poor little thing. I will take you back to the sea and let you regain your freedom." ………(End of chapter)
