Chapter 906: Shadow Soul Horde

Soon after, it finally gave up resisting and disintegrated into nothingness before Xu Yang.

Karl's original mixed-body form was quite unique. The shadowy spirit he condensed was slightly different from the other three and was not suppressed by the Fiery Sun Palm.

Seeing this, Xu Yang snorted coldly and unhurriedly took out a black grimoire from his hand.

He gently flipped through it a few times, and a powerful runic aura emerged, swiftly moving towards Karl's shadowy spirit.

In just one encounter, it completely devoured Karl's shadowy spirit using the soul power released from these original bodies.

"There's no point in playing tricks and pretending to be a god in this dream," Xu Yang's voice resonated. "Don't let me find you, or I'll show you what true malice in this world feels like."

As Xu Yang's words spread, the Soul of the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch burst into laughter, filling every corner of the space.

"You can't even find where your teammates' true bodies are, yet you dare to boast here with me. You really have some nerve, Sir Ah Yang."

Hearing this, Xu Yang sneered again.

"Are you sure I can't find their locations? How about we make a bet, play a game?

If I can find all of them within three hours, you'll reveal yourself and fight me."

The Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch didn't seem to fall for it; he was well aware of the vast power difference between himself and Xu Yang.

"Don't try to set a trap for me and bait me. You've already entered the fixed dreamscape I've woven. I am the master who controls everything here, so why would I play this unnecessary game with you?"

"I'm very clear about the vast power gap between us, and I will definitely not cross you. Rest assured, just wander around here. Once the Eastern Domain battlefield outside is completely covered by the cursed power of the Five Great Restricted Zones, what good will it do, even if you break free from my fixed dreamscape then?"

Xu Yang finally understood that this fellow had created such a fixed dreamscape specifically to trap his team, preventing them from going to reinforce the main battlefield.

But how could such a trick possibly trap Xu Yang?

The next moment, Xu Yang stomped his foot, and the patterns of the Ghost Valley Qimen Formation rapidly appeared beneath him.

The sixty-four array gates, each layer, began to spin wildly at their own pace.

At the same time, Xu Yang stood at the center of the array, one by one imbuing the soul essences of Big Dog, Yun Xiao, and the Winter Goddess into the Ghost Valley Qimen.

Before long, the Qimen Grand Array responded, and each main gate successively stopped at a specific position.

The coordinates where the soul essences of these three individuals settled precisely determined their locations via the Qimen Grand Array.

The greatest feature of the Ghost Valley Qimen Formation was its ability to perform divinations. As long as someone's soul essence was marked within it, the formation could provide absolutely precise guidance.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be proficient in Qimen arts. It seems I truly underestimated your capabilities. But what good will that do? I have an endless supply of shadowy spirits in this dreamscape. Perhaps before you even find those three, those spirits will have already devoured all your life essence."

Xu Yang burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Then come and try! I've never failed to rescue someone I intended to save!"

Xu Yang remained as domineering as ever, resuming his steps and heading towards Big Dog's trapped location.

Indeed, as the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch had said, the shadowy spirits within the dreamscape were virtually endless.

Along the way, Xu Yang didn't know how many thousands of shadowy spirits he had eradicated, but such an undertaking was merely child's play for him.

This was because Xu Yang's method of combating enemies was the Fiery Sun Palm, a combat technique based on primal power.

Furthermore, the innate vital energy within Xu Yang had now reached the Grand Completion realm, providing an endless supply of energy. Therefore, no matter how many shadowy spirits he faced, his stamina would never be depleted.

"I can't believe your endurance in prolonged battles is so formidable! I've been fighting you for so long and haven't managed to exhaust you. It seems I must summon several powerful soul entities to halt your advance."

The voice of the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch's soul echoed again. Shortly after, Xu Yang arrived at the location of Big Dog's true body, as marked by the Qimen Grand Array. It was an isolated secret prison cell.

Xu Yang looked closely and saw several heavily armored knights inside the secret room, solemnly sitting around the cage, their hands resting on heavy greatswords.

Exactly seven of them!

Although these figures were also shadowy spirits, their outlines and appearances were distinctly different from the ordinary shadowy soldiers seen before. They were undoubtedly among the top combat forces within this fixed dreamscape.

Big Dog, meanwhile, had completely fallen into a deep sleep, his true body imprisoned in the central cage.

Even when Xu Yang sent out a burst of soul energy, he couldn't establish the usual mental connection with Big Dog.

"Stop playing tricks here. Your Grandpa Ah Yang has arrived. It's time for you all to wake up and move!"

The moment Xu Yang's words fell, he suddenly placed his hands on the steel railings surrounding the cage in front of him.

In an instant, a powerful vortex of energy erupted, and terrifying primal force shattered all obstructions around the cage.

Xu Yang, with his solitary, domineering presence, thoroughly ignited the killing intent of everyone within the cage's space.

"By order of the Ancestral Witch, those who trespass into forbidden chambers shall be executed without mercy!"

The seven shadowy spirits reanimated simultaneously. In the pupils of each sword-wielding knight-like soul entity, seven different colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—burned at once.

"Hmph, I really didn't expect the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch to possess such methods! These aren't just mere shadowy spirits; they're war machines infused with shadowy spirits!"

"It seems my previous judgment was correct. These battlefield machines can have souls injected into them through some means, turning them into fully simulated, independent killing machines with distinct personalities!"

The cold sneer of the Extreme Yin Ancestral Witch echoed again: "Too bad. It's probably too late for you to know now. These creations, which I've concealed within the fixed dreamscape, are the true core products of the Five Great Restricted Zones' civilization!"

"Even Karl has never encountered them!"

"Now, experience the power of these battlefield machines infused with souls!"

Finally, the sword-wielding knight with red pupils slowly rose, drew its greatsword, and advanced towards Xu Yang's true body. Its speed was even more terrifying than that of the battlefield skeletons Xu Yang commanded.
