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

The City of Broken Souls has no city gates.

To be precise, only a dark archway remained of the city gate.

The city walls on both sides were made of countless animal bones and black stones, and there were no guards or array lights on the top of the walls.

The whole city was as quiet as a corpse that had been dead for many years.

When Shen Ye and his group of five arrived at the foot of the city, the token of the Blood-Clad Tower's outer altar flew up on its own.

hum!

A line of blood appeared deep within the city gate.

A heavy scraping sound rang out, and the two bone doors that had been hidden in the darkness slowly opened.

Chu Jinglan frowned.

"They are inviting us in."

Qin Wuji sneered:

"please?"

"I think they believe we're definitely going to die in there."

Meng Qianqiu gripped the hilt of the sword.

"You'll only know once you go inside."

Shen Ye was the first to step through the city gate.

The other four followed closely behind.

After everyone entered, the bone gate behind them slammed shut.

The array of light enveloped Broken Soul City.

[Warning: Space lockdown activated.]

[Standard teleportation methods are unavailable.]

[High concentration of Shadow Demon aura detected.]

There are no residents in the city.

All the houses on both sides of the street were sealed off, with blood-red talismans pasted on the doors and windows.

The ground was covered with drag marks, and occasionally dried human blood could be seen.

Night Feather flew into the air.

As soon as it passed over the roof, a black curtain of light descended.

Ye Yu was forced to retreat back onto Shen Ye's shoulder.

"Forbidden air."

Li Xuance looked around.

"Perception is still limited."

"It seems they know us very well."

The group walked forward along the main street.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the city center.

This is a circular plaza.

Five black pillars stand around the square, each bearing the name of a person.

Qin Wuji.

Li Xuance.

Chu Jinglan.

Meng Qianqiu.

Shen Ye.

The five people stopped at the same time.

Qin Wuji's face darkened.

"They knew we were coming."

The next moment, all five shadow pillars lit up simultaneously.

Dark shadows emerged from the pillars and slowly coalesced into human form in the center of the square.

The first dark figure had lightning patterns between its brows, and a Thunder Prison Dragon Eagle appeared behind it.

The second person wielded a wooden sword, with a black sword-wielding deer standing beside him.

The third wave surged behind them.

The fourth one wielded an ancient sword, his spine as smooth as jade.

The fifth dark figure finally took shape.

It wore the same black combat uniform as Shen Ye and held a black and gold short sword in its hand.

A dark shadow of a crow hovered on my left shoulder.

The shadow of a bone snake coiled beneath his feet.

A black-gold dragon ape stood behind him.

The only thing missing was the Primordial Calamity Beast.

The system panel appears.

[Shadow Demon Clan King-Level Creation: Prodigy Shadow Body]

[Level: Early Stage of Tier 5]

[Target for Cloning: Shen Ye]

[Copying ability: Some skills of Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan, the first stage of the Myriad Beasts Divine Rune, and the Myriad Beasts Return to One Slash]

[Missing Abilities: Divine Contract of Myriad Beasts, Primordial Calamity Beast, On-the-spot Growth]

[Core: The Five Shadow Towers of Broken Soul City]

Shen Ye, the shadow figure, opened his eyes.

Its pupils were pitch black.

"Shen Ye."

The voice is exactly the same as Shen Ye's.

"I will have everything you have."

Shen Ye looked at it.

"The imitation is not convincing."

Shen Ye, in his shadow form, glanced down at himself.

"What's different about it?"

Shen Ye: "Too much nonsense."

Meng Qianqiu couldn't help but chuckle.

In the next instant, the five figures of prodigies attacked simultaneously.

At the same instant, Qin Wuji and the other three also met each other's shadow figures.

Lightning, sword energy, and ocean waves exploded in the square.

Shen Ye did not look at his own shadow.

He looked up at the five shadow towers in the city.

"Take care of yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow beneath his feet shifted.

clang!

The black and gold swords clashed.

Shen Ye emerged from the shadows, his other hand simultaneously igniting with ghostly fire and pressing it against Shen Ye's chest.

Shen Ye activated his Netherfire Battle Body and used his knee to knock away the opponent's arm.

The two figures crossed paths dozens of times in an instant.

Shadow Escape.

Netherfire.

A fixed gaze in the candlelight.

Fighting and Breaking Army Fist.

The shadow clone Shen Ye almost perfectly replicated all the fighting styles that Shen Ye had used before.

Even their attack habits are the same.

It knew that Shen Ye liked to break up the team first.

I know Shen Ye is good at exchanging injuries.

They also knew that Shen Ye would appear from the enemy's left side after the third Shadow Cloak.

During the fourth collision, Shen Ye, in his shadow form, turned around in advance and thrust his sword towards Shen Ye's landing point.

puff!

The sword pierced through Shen Ye's shoulder.

A smile appeared on Shen Ye's dark face.

"I've seen all your battles."

Shen Ye gripped the sword blade that had pierced his shoulder.

"So you'll only ever know the past me."

He did not back down.

Raise your left hand.

The Primordial Calamity Beast rose from its shoulder, and gray-gold tribulation lightning shone forth.

The smile on Shen Ye's face vanished instantly.

"Eternal Seal".

The gray-gold mark fell.

Shen Ye's Shadow Escape, Netherfire, and Myriad Beasts Divine Runes solidified simultaneously.

Shen Ye drew the black sword from his shoulder and punched it in the face with his backhand.

boom!

The figure flew backward, crashing into a stone pillar in the square and shattering it.

Shen Ye's shoulder wound was quickly brought to a stop.

"You don't have it."

"So you are not me."

Shen Ye, in his shadow form, climbed up from the ruins.

Its face began to contort.

"I'll kill you."

"I am Shen Ye."

The black divine beast patterns on its body lit up completely.

The three beast-taming shadows merged into the sword's edge simultaneously.

All beasts are annihilated by a single strike.

Shen Ye looked at Qin Wuji and the other three.

"Shadow Tower".

Qin Wuji forced his own shadow figure back with a single spear thrust.

"How long will it take?"

"Thirty breaths."

Meng Qianqiu smiled and said:

"Then hang in there."

The four of them simultaneously changed targets and charged towards the four shadow towers.

The five prodigies tried to give chase, but Shen Ye blocked them in the center of the square.

Night Feather spreads its wings.

The candlelight, like the breath of a dark dragon, spreads across the ground.

The Dragon Abyss Battle Dragon Ape Body is activated.

The Primordial Calamity Beast's Chaos Tribulation Domain unfolds.

Shen Ye gripped the black and gold short sword and looked at the five shadowy figures.

"It can't be done."
