A powerful array seemed to press against the ancient soul trapped within. From what the ancient soul had said earlier, the Dragon Emperor Seal should be the core of this array. However, after tens of thousands of years, the ancient soul had taken the Dragon Emperor Seal, which greatly weakened the array's power. Ling Feng pressed his palm against the doors. They did not move. "Pathetic. You can't even manage this," Despicable Donkey scoffed. He slapped his palm against the metal. A surge of force exploded outward, hurling him through the air and slamming him into the ground. "Damn it, you have got to be kidding me!" Despicable Donkey could not help but curse, filled with deep resentment at how unfriendly this world was toward him. Why was it only him who got knocked back? "Probably because you're too ugly," Ling Feng said. He examined the doors, then reached into his storage spirit ring and took out a key. Zifeng had obtained the key from the Heavenly Demon Vault. Its shape matched a circular slot in the bronze doors. Ling Feng decided to try. The key slid into the groove. A mechanism clicked, the light barrier faded, and the doors began to open! "Does this actually work?" Despicable Donkey's eyes bulged. Fortune was outrageous. Ling Feng shrugged. He guessed that before the Heavenly Demon Hall was destroyed, one of its mighty experts had used all their strength to seal the true body of that ancient soul within the Dissolution Array, then tossed the secret key into the Dragon Severing Stone, thinking this would be foolproof and that no one would ever be able to open this gate again. They could not have foreseen that, by pure chance, the key would fall into Ling Feng's hands. Inside the hall, a snow-white skeleton stretched over three zhang in length. Its form was clearly not human. Nearby, a dragon-carved jade seal rested on the floor, likely dropped when Ling Feng had destroyed the ancient soul's will moments earlier. With the last traces of spiritual consciousness gone, the Dragon Emperor Seal had fallen. Ling Feng picked it up, storing it with quiet satisfaction. In a short span of time, he had obtained two of the Five Emperors Seals. It seemed fate had tied him to the mystery surrounding them. He resolved to keep searching. Perhaps one day he could gather all five. "Whoa… wow… my goodness…" Despicable Donkey's voice rang from deeper inside, along with the sound of loud gulping. Ling Feng followed the sound and found him at the base of a blood-red pillar. A massive yin-yang altar rose in nine tiers, the fish on its surface swimming in a strange scarlet light. Essence energy filled the air, so dense it seemed to press against the skin. The sight was chilling. Outside the hall lay mountains of white bone, the remains of countless lives consumed to forge this power. Ling Feng felt no pity. He had not created the array, and the energy had already been refined to its purest state. There was no reason to leave it behind. "This is it. We are rich," Despicable Donkey said, rubbing his hands. "Kid, let's destroy the core together!" "Fine," Ling Feng replied. Something this dangerous needed to be dealt with quickly. Following the donkey's guidance, Ling Feng used his essence to inscribe four spirit inscriptions and four fierce inscriptions. Despicable Donkey drew four beast inscriptions and four ghost inscriptions. Their voices rang together. Sixteen inscriptions spun into the air, merging into a golden seal that struck the blood-red pillar. The array shuddered. The bronze hall quaked. The pillar's glow faded, and eight blood-colored pearls shot into the air. Ling Feng and Despicable Donkey each caught three. The remaining two streaked toward the outside. These were Essence Blood Pearls, formed by the Inverse Dissolution Array. One appeared every thousand years. Eight thousand years had produced eight pearls. Only one more was needed to complete the cycle and form a supreme treasure. The ancient soul had nearly reached that moment. In the end, Ling Feng had ended him. Ling Feng stored his share and leapt toward the escaping pearls. Outside, Han You and Shen Xiao were locked in battle. Their clash shook the heavens. Both were forced back, only to see the bronze hall behind them collapse. The pillar's light died, and two radiant pearls burst into the open air. They recognized them instantly. Refining a pearl would not only skyrocket one's cultivation but also temper the body, cutting years from the path to reaching emperor level! The two men exchanged a glance and lunged, each aiming for one pearl. Ling Feng burst from the hall, his chest tightening as he saw the scene. He had risked his life to defeat the ancient soul and open the bronze hall, yet now these treasures were about to be taken by outsiders. Shen Xiao was acceptable. Ling Feng did not dislike him, and as a disciple of Yunluo Sacred Land, he might one day be useful in finding their Five Emperors Seal. Han You, however, was different. Ling Feng suspected him of working with Chi Gui, and he had no intention of letting him take such a prize. His mind worked quickly. He could not seize both pearls, so he would focus on Han You. Pulling a thick cloak over himself, he unleashed his movement art and shot forward. Han You and Shen Xiao were quick, and the pearls had not yet developed full spirit. Neither pearl could escape their reach. Shen Xiao caught one in an instant. Han You's hand closed toward the other. A shadow flashed past. The pearl that should have landed in Han You's grasp vanished into someone else's hand!
