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

Five shadowy figures attacked simultaneously.

The black lightning prison fell first.

Shen Ye was in the Chaos Tribulation Domain when the Primordial Tribulation Beast opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing most of the black lightning directly into its belly.

Li Xuance, disguised as a shadow, followed closely with his Azure Lotus Sword.

Night Feather Netherfire transformed into a curtain of flames, forcibly burning away the sword intent.

Chu Jinglan's shadowy figure pressed down on the surrounding area from his Black Sea domain.

The breath of the Nine-Nine Nether Dragon spread along the shadows on the sea surface, burning a gap in the domain.

Meng Qianqiu, in his shadow form, cleaved through the aura with a single sword strike.

Shen Ye neither dodged nor evaded, activating his Dragon Abyss form and shattering the sword light with a single punch.

The one who made the final move was Shen Ye, who was in disguise.

The two "All Beasts Return to One" slashes collided head-on.

boom!

Shen Ye took seven steps back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Ye, though in a shadowy form, only took three steps back.

The initial stage of the fifth rank is not fake.

Even with its limited abilities, it still possesses an absolute advantage in strength.

Shen Ye, in his shadow form, looked at Shen Ye, his voice icy:

You are weaker than me.

Shen Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You're just on a higher level than me."

"Is there a difference?"

"have."

Shen Ye stomped his foot and charged forward again.

Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, Long Yuan, and the Primordial Calamity Beast cooperated simultaneously.

This time, there were no fixed moves.

Night Feather's Netherfire did not attack, but instead obscured perception.

Instead of using Shadow Cloak, Zhu Jiu spread a shadow under Long Yuan's feet to change its charging direction.

Instead of throwing a punch directly, Long Yuan used Shen Ye as a weapon, grabbing his arm and throwing him violently.

Shen Ye used the momentum to accelerate, and the Myriad Beasts Sword Pattern went straight for the core of the shadow body.

Shen Ye, in his shadow form, paused noticeably for a moment.

It had never seen these fighting styles before.

It learned all of Shen Ye's past moves.

However, he couldn't learn how Shen Ye changed his moves during battle.

clang!

Shen Ye, in his shadow form, hastily parried but was slashed back by a sword.

Shen Ye did not pursue.

Because Qin Wuji's shadow form's black lightning had already reached behind him.

"In the beginning."

The Primordial Beast flicked its tail.

The Eternal Seal fell into the core of the Black Lightning.

The lightning paused for a moment.

Long Yuan rushed out from the side and smashed half of Qin Wuji's body with a punch.

But the next moment, the shadow tower in the distance lit up.

The shadow clone Qin Wuji's body quickly recovered.

Shen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

As long as the Shadow Tower is not destroyed, these things cannot be killed.

Thunder roared from the direction of the first shadow tower.

The real Qin Wuji rode the Thunder Prison Dragon Eagle and soared into the sky.

He also summoned the infant form of Emperor Lei Zupeng.

Two lightning-type beasts simultaneously drew lightning.

"Thunder Prison, Heavenly Punishment!"

boom!

The first shadow tower was pierced by a pillar of purple-gold lightning.

[Shadow Tower Destroyed: 1/5]

The shadow figure Qin Wuji trembled, and his aura suddenly dropped.

Beneath the second shadow tower.

Li Xuance held his wooden sword horizontally in front of him.

The Azure Lotus Sword Deer and the Deer Antler Sword Lotus bloom.

Countless sword energies converged into a single line.

"Blue Lotus, Return to One."

The sword light pierced through the shadow tower.

[Shadow Tower Destroyed: 2/5]

The third Shadow Tower was shattered by Chu Jinglan's Canghai Demon Whale larva.

[Shadow Tower Destroyed: 3/5]

In front of the fourth shadow tower.

Meng Qianqiu did not use any complicated moves.

He only drew his sword once.

The sword fell.

The tower broke.

[Shadow Tower Destroyed: 4/5]

The four figures of prodigies shattered simultaneously.

Only Shen Ye remained in the square.

It suddenly turned its head and looked at the last shadow tower.

That tower is located in the deepest part of Broken Soul City.

It is also the core of the Five Towers.

Shen Ye saw it too.

Shen Ye, now in shadow form, suddenly smiled.

"You can't destroy it."

Why?

"Because your other half is there."

Shen Ye's eyes turned slightly cold.

"What do you mean?"

The shadowy figure did not answer.

The three beast-taming shadows behind it began to disintegrate, and all the power surged into the black-gold short sword.

It will burn itself to unleash its final blow ahead of time.

"Just kill you."

"I am the only Shen Ye."

The sword light fell.

Shen Ye did not back down.

The myriad beast divine patterns lit up.

But this time, he did not use the same "All Beasts Return to One" slash.

Night Feather Netherfire transformed into the sword's body.

The shadow of the candle conceals the sword's edge.

The blood of the Dragon Abyss battle solidified into sword bones.

The gray-gold tribulation patterns of the Primordial Calamity Beast landed on the tip of the sword.

The four beasts returned to one.

All tribulations are reduced to a single slash.

The two sword lights collided.

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

Only a very thin black-gold ray of light passed through the longsword in Shen Ye's hand and through his chest.

The figure looked down at the crack in his chest.

Why?

Shen Ye walked past it.

"Because you're learning techniques."

"I am walking the road."

Shen Ye's shadow body crumbled inch by inch.

In the end, only a pitch-black core remained, suspended in mid-air.

[Slay the shadow form of the prodigy.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 8000.]

[Special material obtained: King-level Shadow Core.]

[Extract Talent Fragment: Perfect Imitation Fragment 1.]

Shen Ye put away the shadow core.

The system notification reappeared.

[A King-level Shadow Core can strengthen the Zhujiu bloodline, or be used for the second awakening of the Myriad Beasts Divine Runes.]

In the distance, a low laugh echoed from the deepest part of Broken Soul City.

"What a fine saying, 'I walk the road.'"

"Night King Shen Ye, you have indeed not disappointed me."

The voice was old and cold.

The entire City of Broken Souls trembled.

A crimson beam of light shot into the sky from the last shadow tower.

A figure dressed in a blood-red robe slowly appeared at the top of the tower.

The true master of the Blood-Clad Tower.

Blood for a Thousand Autumns.

Behind him, a gray-black boulder floated in mid-air, its surface wreathed in countless lightning bolts.

The Primordial Beast instantly raised its head.

The gray-gold lightning on its tail flashed wildly.

[The Eternal Mother Stone has been detected.]

[The second-stage evolution core of the Primordial Beast has been detected.]

Xue Qianqiu spread his arms and looked down at Shen Ye and the other four.

"The mother stone is here."

"The list of transactions is also here."

"want to?"

His smile was sinister.

"Then come to the main altar."

As soon as he finished speaking, the last shadow tower slowly sank.

In the center of Broken Soul City, a blood-red abyss opened up, leading to the depths of the earth.

Shen Ye looked up at Xue Qianqiu.

"Were you waiting for me?"

Xue Qianqiu laughed.

"No."

"Waiting for you is the Mother Goddess."

Behind him, a huge purple eye slowly opened in the depths of darkness.

The system warning instantly turned scarlet.

[High-level multi-ethnic projection detected.]

[Target: The Shadow Demon Queen's Divine Intervention.]

[Danger Level: Tier 6]
