Soul-rejecting Prison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Ye and Wen Rou teamed up to attack a monster clad in armor made of dark crystal. It lacked two heads or four arms, but its formidable physique was on par with the dark race.

Origin power gathered in their strikes, akin to that of an Undying Lifeform.

However, despite sustaining multiple injuries, the dark crystal monster did not regenerate its body like an Undying Lifeform would.

Instead, its origin power erupted even more intensely, increasing its attack power continuously, and even injuring Wen Rou.

The injured Wen Rou displayed even more terrifying combat prowess!

The Talent of the Killing God grew stronger with each battle!

The dark crystal monster attempted to flee.

“Nethersky Seal!” Ji Mengni unleashed a top-grade supreme treasure.

A book adorned with strange symbols unfolded in the air. Spatial sub-origin scattered, revealing cosmic secrets.

The surrounding space was sealed off, and a vast amount of energy covered the area.

Top-rank path of space: Spatial Lock!

Wang Ye wielded his twin blades, unleashing the explosive dark power of the ninth level.

They tore through the dark crystal monster from behind, the Hellfire Devil Blade burning with deathly flames, destroying its physical form.

Suddenly, as if its soul had departed, a shadow emerged from the dark crystal monster.

Formless and colorless, it pierced through the Spatial Lock and vanished without a trace.

Bang! The dark crystal monster perished.

Wang Ye sheathed his blades and furrowed his brow.

It was peculiar.

“The one that escaped just now should be the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit,” Ji Mengni remarked as she stored away the Nethersky Seal.

“Can any of you obliterate souls?” Wang Ye inquired.

Wen Rou shook her head softly.

Ji Mengni shrugged as well.

Wang Ye sighed bitterly.

There were essentially two ways to destroy the soul of an Undying Lifeform.

One required possessing stronger soul strength and proficiency in soul-obliterating attacks.

The other involved having exceptionally high soul attainments and being able to wield soul-obliterating treasures.

Surpassing the Super Star level was exceedingly difficult.

However, in nightmare mode, the soul of the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit could survive outside its body. Wasn’t the difficulty too high?

Not only did they have to slay it, but they also had to annihilate its soul.

Who could accomplish such a feat in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament?

There must be another solution.

“Soul Restraining Stone!” Wang Ye suddenly had a revelation.

Could the Soul Restraining Stone in the difficult mission be the key to vanquishing the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit?

But thus far, they had yet to discover the Soul Restraining Stone!

Something was amiss.

“The Soul Restraining Stone shouldn’t be harder to find than the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, and it’s just a difficult mission. We’ve already searched the seventh prison for more than 20 cosmic days. Unless we’re unlucky, we should have already found the Soul Restraining Stone.”

“But because we didn’t recognize it, we missed it.”

Wang Ye pondered.

If that was the case, it would be troublesome.

This was because it meant that the Soul Restraining Stone didn’t have a strong energy reaction. We might have missed it again the next time we encountered it.

Wang Ye looked at Ji Mengni. The latter’s intelligent and sparkling eyes shared the same thought.

Though he knew that the Soul Restraining Stone might be the key, he couldn’t find it.

“Should we consider the eighth prison?” Ji Mengni looked at Wang Ye. “Of the three missions in the seventh prison, we couldn’t find the Soul Restraining Stone, we couldn’t kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, and we have no clues about the most difficult mission. It’s better to cut our losses now.”

“What do you think?” Wang Ye asked.

“Continue,” Wen Rou replied decisively.

“Yes, there’s no reason to give up halfway,” Wang Ye said to Ji Mengni. “I want to keep going. I don’t think it’s that difficult. It’s so hard that there aren’t any clues at all. We likely missed it without realizing.”

Ji Mengni smiled. “If it’s just us, we can indeed continue. However, there are two other contestants who have already been in the seventh prison for more than ten days. Our current progress is zero. It’s uncertain for them.”

“Since they know there are risks, they must be quite confident. What I’m most afraid of is them catching up later and wasting our time and effort.”

Wang Ye nodded.

Ji Mengni’s words made sense.

“Simple, kill them,” Wen Rou said casually.

Ji Mengni and Wang Ye were speechless.

How could someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius utter such icy words?

“Good idea,” Wang Ye praised. “Let’s kill them, and then we’ll continue to grind through the quests in the seventh prison.”

Suddenly, Wang Ye’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ji Mengni. Her eyes also sparkled.

Of course!

Why didn’t they think of this before?

They might not have found the Soul Restraining Stone, but their competitors might have!

Couldn’t they just ask them politely to take a look?

What if they weren’t willing?

Kill them!

“Wen Rou, you’re so smart!” Ji Mengni’s smile was very sweet this time.

“Yes, everyone praises me like that.” Wen Rou nodded.

Ji Mengni was at a loss for words.

“Is there a way to find them?” Wang Ye looked at Ji Mengni.

“Simple.” Ji Mengni smiled happily. “They also came from the Dark Abyss Stairway. They shouldn’t be too far away from us. There’s no one else in the seventh prison now. We can just search for the aura of other humans.”

With that, a strange black arrow appeared in her hand. It was crooked and spun like a compass.

The black arrowhead started to spin slowly as it was saturated with strange energy.

A singular supreme treasure!

Wang Ye glanced at Ji Mengni.

This woman was like a treasure trove from head to toe!

“Buzz!” The black arrowhead, now straightened, vibrated and pointed to the northeast at a 33-degree angle before shooting straight out.

“Let’s go!” Ji Mengni leaped onto the flying supreme treasure, followed closely by the others.

Wang Ye and Wen Rou trailed behind.

There’s always more than one way to break through a deadlock.

Swish! Swish!

Nong Bi and Dongse Ziyu hurried along, their faces brimming with joy.

Everything was going smoothly!

In just a dozen cosmic days, they had managed to find two Soul Restraining Stones!

Though they hadn’t yet encountered the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit, it was only a matter of time.

Even with the unique mission, though there had been no progress yet, Nong Bi had some ideas based on his analysis.

Although they didn’t know who the other group was or how they were faring in terms of progress.

But they were confident that they would be the ones to complete the mission in the seventh prison!

The path ahead had been cleared!

All was going smoothly!

“As long as there are no unexpected incidents…” Nong Bi’s smile suddenly froze, his expression turning unusually grim. “There’s bound to be something unexpected.”

Dongse Ziyu was confused by his words.

Boom!

The three internal worlds descended simultaneously.

With immense pressure and the shift in time and space, everything around them seemed to freeze.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three figures stood in a triangle formation, surrounding Nong Bi and Dongse Ziyu.

One man and two women.

All were familiar faces.

They were ranked in the top 100 of the Cosmic Stairway Board in the first round.

Nong Bi and Dongse Ziyu had done their research.

Though they didn’t know how these three individuals had teamed up, the current situation was highly unfavorable for them.

Especially the second-ranked contestant on the Cosmic Stairway Rankings, Wen Rou, who was an extremely dangerous individual!

Ji Mengni, ranked ninth, possessed numerous treasures and was exceptionally skilled in both space manipulation and illusions!

If they were to become entangled with her, it would spell trouble.

The only breakthrough was Wang Ye.

However, it would have been difficult for them to retreat unscathed in a two-on-three situation.

“What do you want to do!” Dongse Ziyu raised his head proudly, his almond-shaped eyebrows furrowed.

Wang Ye glanced at him and said to Wen Rou and Ji Mengni, “Don’t mind Dongse Ziyu. He doesn’t seem very smart. He’s not leading the team. The Soul Restraining Stone must be on Nong Bi.”

“Kill him!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Dongse Ziyu’s face turned purple with anger.

Her full chest was about to burst out of her battle suit, and his sword intent surged towards Wang Ye in anger.

Nong Bi wanted to speak, but it was already too late.

With Wen Rou in front and Ji Mengni behind, blocking all escape routes.

Wang Ye was right!

He was truly foolish!

Not only was the Soul Restraining Stone revealed with a single sentence, but he was also easily provoked.

What they should be doing now was fleeing!

Fight? Ridiculous!

Could they win?

“How did I end up with such a stupid teammate…” Nong Bi wanted to cry but had no tears.

The surrounding spatial sub-origin fluctuated violently. Ji Mengni had already used Spatial Lock.

The illusion in front of him was dense, with countless images of Wen Rou assaulting him.

Nong Bi thought to himself, “My life is over, I have no choice but to fight!”

Wang Ye faced Dongse Ziyu alone.

He was ranked 13th in the first round of the Cosmic Stairway Board.

If he wanted to win against him, he wouldn’t know until he fought him.

However, it wasn’t difficult to restrain the one who didn’t seem very smart.

Of course, he was testing him on purpose.

The result was very satisfying.

Nong Bi probably had a Soul Restraining Stone on him.

Moreover, Nong Bi was weaker than Dongse Ziyu, so he was much easier to deal with.

With Wen Rou and Ji Mengni, two of the top ten experts on the Cosmic Stairway Board, joining forces, Nong Bi had no chance of escaping.

Unless Dongse Ziyu helped him.

However, Dongse Ziyu has now lost his sanity.

“Static World!” Wang Ye remains very clear-headed as the ancient bell tolls.

Time shifts and the attack of sound waves concealing the mysteries of time directly strikes Dongse Ziyu’s willpower.

The second layer of cosmic secrets lights up, and the bell rings sharply.

Attack!

He wouldn’t give Dongse Ziyu too much time to think

Restraining him, delaying time.

And then…

Wait for Wen Rou’s eruption!

The battle on the other side ended even faster than expected.

As if possessed by the Killing God, Wen Rou, in her prime state with Ji Mengni’s assistance, was simply overpowering.

Nong Bi, despite being ranked in the top too of the Cosmic Stairway Board, was killed in less than sixty seconds.

Even with a supreme-grade treasure protecting him, it was of no use.

“Bang!” The Soul Restraining Stone appeared before them, suspended in mid-air.

Wang Ye and his companions were all momentarily stunned.

So, that was the Soul Restraining Stone?

Chi chi chi! Sword energy tore through the air, locking the flow of time.

The internal worlds erupted, and Dongse Ziyu broke through the Static World!

His eyes brimmed with battle intent, the supreme-grade battle sword’s cosmic secrets shining brightly, its beams of blinding light illuminated the sky like a holy sword.

“Die!” Dongse Ziyu gritted his teeth.

He detested nothing more in his life than being called stupid!

Bang…

The water rippled, blocking this sword.

Wang Ye smiled.

Ji Mengni appeared in mid-air, her hands wielding superpowered blades shining brightly.

Beams of golden light descended from the void, and a spatial treasure instantly bound Dongse Ziyu.

But the most terrifying thing was the killing intent breaking through the heavens.

Wen Rou, having just killed Nong Bi, grew even stronger as the battle progressed, driven by her willpower!

The interaction of the top-rank saber heart and sword heart merged into one, breaking through the pinnacle of combat prowess.

Boom!

“No need to pursue,” Wang Ye gazed into the distance.

Dongse Ziyu had fled with severe injuries.

With a powerful escape treasure, he had avoided being killed by Wen Rou and Ji Mengni.

He possessed formidable combat prowess.

One-on-one, Wen Rou would have struggled to kill him.

There was no need to exterminate them all.

Moreover…

“I think I understand the sole mission of the seventh prison now.” Wang Ye smiled at Wen Rou and Ji Mengni.

“Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade..”
