Chapter 1670: Red Soul Blue Soul

Initially, Long Kun and the others seemed somewhat unconvinced by Xu Yang's assessment. However, upon further thought, they realized that the deeper they ventured into the Panlong Mountain Range, the scarcer the aura of other cultivators became.

Furthermore, according to Xu Yang's judgment, the intensity of the natural laws in the core mountain regions, especially those approaching the "dragon's head," would continuously strengthen.

With these thoughts in mind, three days later, Xu Yang continued to lead his re-organized beast army forward.

This time, they had penetrated over half of the Panlong Mountain Range, officially entering its core, moving towards the "dragon's head."

However, just as they stepped onto the peak of this mountain range, they discovered its bizarre shape: it resembled two extreme peaks intersecting and intertwining. Between these two peaks, a single, long passageway had been carved out.

This passage was the only way to successfully enter the next mountain domain.

The passageway, situated between the two intertwined peaks, appeared incredibly precarious. Beneath it lay a bottomless abyss.

What surprised Xu Yang and his companions even more was that this long passageway, thousands of meters in length, was narrow enough to allow only two or three people to walk abreast.

Moreover, once one stepped onto this passageway, a powerful forbidden formation seemed to seal the surroundings. Any cultivator entering the passage found themselves unable to draw upon their internal cultivation power, making it a forbidden zone that truly restricted the use of martial arts and abilities.

"Boss, this place looks a bit strange," asked one of the four Demon Sages. "Should a few of us go ahead and test it out first, in case there are unseen dangers hidden here?"

Qi Tian and Cixue, two of the Four Demon Sages, stepped forward simultaneously to inquire about Xu Yang's plan. However, this time, Xu Yang gently shook his head.

"None of you are to move. The main force will stay here on standby; I will go up and test it myself. The previous mountain region already caused us significant, unnecessary casualties. This time, we must be extremely careful."

After saying this, Xu Yang soared into the air and was the first to step onto the starting point of the thousands-of-meters-long suspended passageway. With each step forward, the entire passageway emanated a chilling and ominous aura.

It was as if countless departed souls were amassed in the endless abyss below, furiously venting their rage, imposing an incredibly strong mental pressure on everyone who set foot on the passageway.

Fortunately, Xu Yang's entire body was protected by the power of light. His Flawless Angel bloodline allowed him to disregard any negative influences from his surroundings, and he calmly walked to the very center of the passageway.

Just as Xu Yang was about to take another step, an invisible spiritual pressure suddenly awakened. He sharply observed both the left and right sides of the mountain peaks.

Xu Yang quickly noticed a red soul light silently coalescing on the left peak, while on the opposite side, a more powerful and furious blue soul aura was wildly active.

Xu Yang halted his steps, calmly waiting for both soul powers to fully awaken simultaneously.

Soon, the red soul took on the outline of a woman, while the blue soul manifested as a dignified, noble man.

The red soul craved blood, the blue soul devoured bone! Their frequencies and powerful aura fluctuations were almost identical, inadvertently forming a terrifying, interwoven energy field.

Above Xu Yang's head, two incredibly dense soul shackles converged. Anyone who passed through this section of the passageway would be bound by these powerful soul shackles. Those with weaker intrinsic soul strength would likely be utterly crushed, their bodies and spirits annihilated.

After falling, their soul essence would be devoured by the red-clad woman on the left, while their ruined flesh and blood remains would be consumed by the powerful man.

"You are the first person in hundreds of thousands of years in this Panlong Mountain Range to dare to step onto this passageway alone!" the red-clad woman declared. "Before you, no one has ever walked this passageway alive."

The man added, "Since my wife and I began guarding this mountain range, under the influence of our laws, thousands of powerful individuals from various factions have been buried at the end of this peak, even some wise reclusive cultivators accepted by the Peak of Kunlun."

"Many have sought to pass us to find the true secret of the Peak of Kunlun, but none have ever succeeded."

"If you, this pioneer, also fail in your attempt, perhaps my wife and I will collect some 'interest' from you. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of fresh lives waiting for us to devour at the foot of the mountain; we are already eager to give you a proper 'welcome'."

Xu Yang's expression turned cold as he scornfully mocked the couple.

"Don't assume I can't see that the reason you two can maintain such consistent aura frequencies is because you both belong to a single law," Xu Yang retorted. "It's just that when this natural law formed, it did so by intertwining two completely distinct power origins."

"You are, in essence, souls born from the same life form. Therefore, to conquer you, one merely needs to completely sever the connection between your auras. Then, the law that birthed your wills will be rendered utterly useless."

"Likewise, if I cannot manage to separate your two powers, the soul nightmare imposed on this passageway will continue endlessly."

Xu Yang ended his explanation there, having clearly seen through their trick. However, he currently had no better idea how to break the state where the two maintained identical soul frequencies.

If he were to attack both souls individually at the same time, the efficiency of his offense would inevitably drop to its lowest point.

While Xu Yang was deep in thought, the couple evidently grew impatient. They exchanged a glance, and the woman with the red soul made the first move.

As she activated her technique, the soul shackle above Xu Yang's head rapidly expanded its suppressive effect on his soul.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang lightly pressed his glabella, allowing the incredibly potent spiritual power within him to exert a powerful resistance at that moment.

Simultaneously, the Jade Bone Divine Sword swiftly condensed in his hand. With a thrust that seemed to pierce the heavens, it conjured hundreds of thousands of dazzling sword lights in the void above the passageway, each striking at the two powerful souls corresponding to the mountain peaks.

A terrifying, rumbling sword energy continuously erupted against the rock walls of both mountain peaks. The immense power emanating from Xu Yang's profound cultivation foundation, with every single sword light, left the hundreds of thousands of beast soldiers below awestruck.

In just a few rounds, the area was shaken violently, with massive rock fragments continuously plummeting from the sky into the bottomless abyss.
