Now he must collect the materials quickly and finish everything before anyone else can react.
The dark and profound battle aura instantly condensed into a pitch-black mass, which for a short time resembled a boiling black swamp. Finally, several black bars were drawn out, and from a distance, it could be seen that the soul light had transformed into a huge, dark spider, with himself at the core of this transformed spider.
"The Soul Spider's Trail!"
With a low shout from the Soul Beam, streams of black battle energy surged forth, leaping like living things. These battle energies transformed into fine, resilient spider silk threads, spreading wildly in all directions from the Soul Beam's center, beginning to search for the remnants of the Battle Emperor's soul power present here.
The search for the Soul Beam had just begun, and before even a few fragments of the Spirit Emperor's remnant soul had been obtained, Yao Lao, who had been keeping a close eye on his movements, had already arrived.
The old apothecary cautiously scanned the area, and through the movements of the soul beam, he quickly deduced the soul beam's intentions.
"They even attack their allies so casually. The Soul Hall is still the same old Soul Hall—not a single one of them is any good!"
As an opponent in a life-or-death battle, Yao Lao naturally couldn't stand by and watch Hun Mang be so smug, even if he was tampering with the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire immediately appeared, and the flames, carrying an extremely cold aura, shot out under the command of the old doctor. It did not attack the Soul Light's main body at first, but instead landed in front of the spider webs that it extended, freezing and destroying the middle connection of those spider webs.
The arrival of the old apothecary did not escape Hun Mang's notice, but he ignored it. However, even though he did not pay attention to the old apothecary, the old apothecary would not let him go.
His peaceful work of collecting fragments of the Spirit Emperor's remnant soul was interrupted. His time was extremely precious, and he immediately felt a murderous intent towards Yao Lao.
"Damn it! I was going to spare your life before, but who knew you'd be so eager to die!?"
As if given life, the black mist surrounding the soul beam unleashed a barrage of soul impacts at Yao Lao, accompanied by the deafening roar of the vengeful spirits. These attacks were not only powerful but also terrifying.
Old Master Yao wasn't in a hurry. He used his Heavenly Realm Perfection level soul as a defense, protecting himself. Although these attacks were powerful, they couldn't affect Old Master Yao for the time being. On the contrary, the spider webs spewed out by the soul light were basically burned away by Old Master Yao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Because of Old Master Yao's arrival, the collection speed of the Spirit Emperor's remnant soul fragments greatly decreased.
And the real trouble didn't end there. Not long after Yao Lao arrived, Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi also arrived together.
"Teacher, what's going on here?"
When Yao Lao saw Xiao Yan arrive, he was overjoyed and quickly said, "This guy is up to no good. He's collecting the power left behind by the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor. We must stop him!"
"good!"
Xiao Yan followed suit, using a different kind of fire to hinder the progress of the Soul Beam in collecting the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor, just like Yao Lao did.
After Xiao Yan started moving, he observed as he went, constantly examining the soul power left behind by the remnant soul of the Dou Di, and discovered that it was different from others.
A brand new idea began to take shape in Xiao Yan's mind.
"If I can stop this guy, I might be able to use these remnant souls too."
The collection of soul fragments was proceeding smoothly, but it was interrupted one after another. After Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi joined in, it was no longer possible to collect any fragments.
"I didn't want to fight you, but since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
At this moment, Hun Mang fully understood that these three individuals all possessed different types of flames, making them extremely troublesome when combined. If he didn't deal with them, it would be absolutely impossible for him to secretly absorb all the remnant soul power of the Dou Di!
The more dangerous the situation, the more decisive one must be. All the bloody battles that Hunmang had experienced in his life had taught him one fact: only those who are decisive and ruthless have the chance to stand in the end.
Soullight roared, "Soul Clan Clan Mark, activate!"
Soul Brilliance's original strength at the peak of the four-star Dou Sheng realm was further enhanced, directly reaching the five-star Dou Sheng realm.
Like Xiao Yan, he had also held back in the previous battles. His goals were much more complex, so he only revealed his true strength now.
After his strength increased, the first thing Hun Mang did was not to immediately attack Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, but to rapidly change hand seals within the black mist surrounding him.
The black mist, which had transformed into the shape of a spider, surged once more, and the soul light poured the seven fragments of the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor that it had collected into the most important black mist in front of it.
"Bang—"
A muffled, suppressed thud resounded, and the black mist controlled by Soullight instantly began to surge, its soul power receiving a tremendous amplification. An uncontrollable gleam of joy appeared in Soullight's eyes; power—power powerful enough to make him tremble!
The black mist expanded several times in an instant, enveloping Xiao Yan and his two companions completely.
The commotion caused by the soul light was so great that the fluctuations it emitted caused both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan to change color simultaneously. Xiao Yan, still able to sense Yao Lao's presence through his soul perception, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what's going on?"
"Damn it! This guy is from the Soul Hall. His research on the soul is beyond imagination. Now, not only his battle qi, but also his soul power has increased so much. It must be because of that remnant soul of the Battle Emperor!"
The old apothecary's face was grim, clearly concerned about the consequences, and his tone was heavy: "Be extremely careful. I have no idea exactly how far he's gone!"
"good!"
Huo Zhi's soul perception was now blocked, and her only reliance within the black mist was Xiao Yan. Although she wasn't truly afraid, she still subconsciously gripped Xiao Yan's hand tightly.
"This person's strength is unpredictable, don't leave me!" Xiao Yan said to Huo Zhi without hesitation. Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "If things get out of hand, I'll cover you, you go first."
Huo Zhi simply shook her head: "Don't worry about me. The worst that can happen is we both die here!"
Before the two could say more, the old apothecary's attack order had arrived.
When Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi stand side by side, their Dou Qi can flow between them. Although attacking at the same time will increase the consumption of Dou Qi, the amplification effect of their combined attack will not be affected at all.
Streams of flame surged forth, the strange fire under Xiao Yan's control poised to unleash its power, and a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique was instantly unleashed.
"Low-grade Heavenly Rank, Ninefold Crimson Tide!"
"Mid-level Celestial Rank, Fallen Lotus of Flames!"
The old apothecary moved just as swiftly, his soul power condensing into a giant hand in mid-air, which he then forcefully pressed down on the spider-shaped black mist.
Three powerful attacks, under deliberate control, struck the black mist almost simultaneously.
