Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

Blood mist surged before the second Beast Soul Pillar.

The altar ruins should have contained only beast souls.

But at this moment, seven Blood-Clad Tower assassins stood beneath the stone pillar.

They formed a circle and were driving blood nails into the beast soul pillar.

The ancient beast patterns on the pillar were corroded by blood, and the originally dormant beast soul aura gradually became violent and chaotic.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes.

"They are corrupting the Beast Soul Pillar."

Xiao Jue gripped his battle axe tightly.

"Then cut it down."

Shen Ye did not move immediately.

The system panel has appeared.

[Blood-Clad Tower Blood Sacrifice Squad]

[Highest Realm: Peak of Tier 3]

[Objective: To corrupt the Beast Soul Pillar and awaken the Blood Sacrifice Beast Soul]

[Note: If the Beast Soul Pillar is completely corrupted, the Altar Guardian will receive a Blood Soul Enhancement.]

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

Blood-Clad Tower was indeed not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

They already knew the rules of the Blackrock Altar.

They didn't come here to explore.

They've come to seize the altar's legacy.

"Gu Chen, block the road."

"Xiao Jue, frontal view."

"I killed the priest."

As soon as Shen Ye finished speaking, the three of them moved at the same time.

The Mirror Nightmare Beast appeared behind Gu Chen, and its silver-white mirror unfolded.

The Mirror Domain did not completely cover the battlefield, but rather lay across the Blood-Clad Tower squad's retreat route, like a wall with no visible boundaries.

Xiao Jue was the most direct.

He and the Mountain-Splitting Demon Ape charged out at the same time.

"Get out of here!"

The battle axe cleaved down.

A blood-clad assassin raised his knife to block, but was slammed into the ground along with his arm.

The Blood-Clad Tower squad reacted instantly.

"Shen Ye is here!"

"Activate the Blood Soul Array!"

Crimson array patterns suddenly lit up beneath the feet of the seven people.

The Beast Soul Pillar let out a deep roar.

A blood-red giant tiger spirit pounced out from the pillar, heading straight for Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue neither dodged nor evaded, and the Mountain-Splitting Demon Ape roared and unleashed its two fists.

boom!

Blood Tiger Soul Shadow was forced to retreat.

It has no physical form, yet its claws can tear apart the spirit.

Xiao Jue groaned, blood seeping from between his brows.

Gu Chen raised his hand.

A mirror cuts across the battlefield.

Blood Tiger's second pounce was deflected by the mirror and crashed into a blood-clad assassin.

The assassin's expression changed drastically. Before he could dodge, half of his soul was torn apart by the Blood Tiger, and he fainted on the spot.

"The formation is out of control!"

"Hold on!"

The leading blood-robed priest roared angrily.

He held a blood-bone staff in his hand, continuously injecting blood energy into the beast soul pillar.

Shen Ye has arrived.

Night Feather fell from mid-air, its Netherfire transforming into a black feather blade that pierced straight at the priest's brow.

The priest sneered and tossed out a soul shield.

"I was prepared for your ghostly fire!"

Countless vengeful spirits emerged from the Soul Shield, forcefully blocking the Netherfire.

Shen Ye's gaze remained unchanged.

"Longyuan".

A black and gold figure crashed out from the side.

Long Yuan's fists ignited with golden battle blood as he slammed one fist into the soul shield.

boom!

The Soul Shield trembled violently.

The second punch.

The cracks spread.

The third punch.

The Soul Shield shattered.

The priest's expression changed drastically.

"What kind of beast is this?"

Shen Ye did not answer.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows beneath the priest's feet, his legs locked by the Nine Netherworld Shadows.

The priest's body blazed with blood-red light as he tried to break free.

But Ye Yu's soul-burning attack had already begun.

His movements froze for a moment.

Shen Ye drew his short sword.

A single, fatal blow.

[Slay the Blood Priest of the Blood-Clad Tower.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 900.]

[Extract Talent Fragment: Blood Sacrifice Formation Fragment 1.]

With the priest dead, the Blood Soul Array immediately went out of control.

The blood patterns on the Beast Soul Pillar twisted wildly.

The blood tiger's spirit roared to the sky and began attacking everyone indiscriminately, friend or foe.

Shen Ye looked up.

"Night Feather, burn the blood patterns on the pillar."

Night Feather spread his wings, and Netherfire rained down.

The blood-red patterns on the Beast Soul Pillar were burned away bit by bit.

The Blood Tiger Soul Shadow let out a painful roar.

Xiao Jue cleaved its frontal charge with an axe, roaring:

"Shen Ye, hurry up!"

Shen Ye raised his hand and pressed it on the Beast Soul Pillar.

The dark gold patterns of the Myriad Beasts Divine Contract flowed out from the palm of his hand.

Hellfire cleanses the blood.

Divine Contract to Suppress Souls.

A moment later, the crimson in the Blood Tiger's eyes gradually faded, transforming into a phantom image of a white tiger with black stripes.

It glanced down at Shen Ye, then transformed into a stream of beast soul light and merged into the stone pillar.

boom!

The second Beast Soul Pillar was ignited.

[Beast Soul Pillar Ignites: 2/9.]

[Reward obtained: Tiger Soul Battle Bone.]

A platinum bone fragment floated in front of Shen Ye.

[Tiger Soul Battle Bone: Enhances the fighting spirit and skeletal strength of power-type beast tamers.]

Xiao Jue glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Shen Ye casually tossed it to him.

Xiao Jue caught it, his brows furrowing.

"Give it to me again?"

Shen Ye said, "You owe me two debts."

Xiao Jue remained silent for a long time before grinning.

"OK."

"Once we get out there, if anyone dares to challenge you for first place, I'll take their place for you."

Gu Chen said calmly, "He probably doesn't need it."

Xiao Jue glared at him.

I'm talking about attitude.

Shen Ye looked at the remaining few blood-clad assassins.

They are trapped in Gu Chen's Mirror Domain and cannot escape.

Shen Ye only said one word.

"kill."

Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan moved at the same time.

A few breaths later, the Blood-Clad Tower squad was wiped out.

The system kept displaying error messages.

Evolution points have increased again.

Shen Ye wasted no time.

He looked toward the third Beast Soul Pillar.

There are no people from the Blood-Clad Tower there.

However, there was an extremely powerful aura of beast soul.

Gu Chen said, "The third pillar will probably be difficult to attack."

Xiao Jue flexed his shoulders; the aura of the Mountain-Splitting Demon Ape had noticeably strengthened after absorbing the Tiger Soul Battle Bone.

"Perfect."

Shen Ye stepped forward.

"continue."
