“What do you want to do, Senior? This Junior’s cultivation is low and may not be able to help you.” Although Yang Kai felt sorry for what this man had experienced, he did not dare to talk too much. The main reason was his eting with Black Crow Divine Monarch previously. All these Old Monsters who lived for countless years were not easy to deal with. He could fall into their trap at the slightest negligence.

The Soul replied, “Rest assured. It’s nothing too difficult for you. I just want you to kill .”

Yang Kai fell silent. He had seen this person suffering a life worse than death due to the Soul Extraction and Refinent, so he was not surprised by the request. Rather than being stuck in this state, it was certainly better to die.

“Little Friend, are you still there?” The Soul asked tentatively when Yang Kai did not answer for a long ti.

“I’m still here.” Yang Kai breathed out lightly, “What must I do, Senior?”

The Soul replied, “My Soul has completely integrated with this Soul Fla. As long as the Soul Fla exists, my Soul will not die. If you wish to kill , you need to extinguish this fire. I’m sure you’ve condensed a Water Elent Power, right? You only need to use it.”

Yang Kai nodded, “Please wait a mont, Senior. I will send you off!”

The Soul, who had been tortured and trapped in pain for such a long ti, suddenly seed to calm, “Many thanks, Little Friend.”

Yang Kai did not say anything else. Activating the Water Elent Power in his Dao Seal, he reached out his hand towards the Soul Fla.

His Water Elent Power was Seventh-Order, condensed from the Moon Essence back in the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary. Although it was technically of the Water Elent, it leaned more heavily towards the Icy Attribute; thus, a bone-chilling cold aura perated the air when Yang Kai drew upon it, seemingly holding a hazy ball of moonlight in the palm of his hand...

Among the Five Elents, the Water extinguished Fire. Using the Water Elent Power to destroy the Soul Fla was akin to using the right tool for the right situation. If anybody else were to co here, they might not succeed even if they knew the correct thod because the Order of this Soul Fla was not low. Fortunately, Yang Kai’s Water Elent Power was more than enough to deal with it.

A chill spread out, wrapping around the Soul Fla. In response, the Soul Fla began to shrink at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Soul was completely integrated with the Soul Fla, so he imdiately noticed the changes, his voice calling out in a sowhat conflicted tone, “I’m finally free!”

Yang Kai asked while working, “Senior, do you have any last wishes?”

The Soul, who was sitting cross-legged within the Soul Fla, quietly waiting for death to co, laughed when he heard the question, “I don’t even rember who I am anymore. How can I still have any last wishes... Oh, that’s right! I think I used to have a Sect. What was the Sect called...” After pondering for so ti, he could not rember anything; thus, he could only sigh in resignation, “Forget it. So many years have passed. I’m sure the Sect is gone by now. There’s nothing for to worry about.”

In that short ti, Yang Kai had worn the Soul Fla down with his Water Elent Power until it beca extrely dim. Even the Soul inside beca hazy and indistinct, almost as though he was about to be completely extinguished.

Another short while passed. Be it the Soul Fla or the Soul integrated with the Soul Fla, only a faint shadow of them remained. With a crisp sound coming from the depths of the Soul, the Soul Fla disintegrated and the Soul was extinguished. The last vestiges of the Soul’s voice entered Yang Kai’s ears, “This place is the Nothingness Array set up by that Old Dog. It operates on the principle of the Five Elents mutually reinforcing each other. If you want to find the exit, you must first reverse the flow. Perhaps, you might still have a chance to survive!”

Looking at the spot where the Soul and the Soul Fla had vanished, Yang Kai couldn’t help sighing in regret. He was certain that this Soul was not inferior to Black Crow Divine Monarch. [I wonder what he did to offend Blood Monster Divine Monarch so terribly that he was subjected to the Soul Extraction and Refinent torture, unable to die even after being tornted for so many years.]

It could be seen that Blood Monster Divine Monarch was by no ans a kind man. How could such a cruel and ruthless person be so kind as to leave his inheritance behind for others? Without Black Crow Divine Monarch, the Blood Monster Divine Palace would never have been found, much less opened.

Nevertheless, the words that Soul left behind before his death had given Yang Kai great inspiration. He probably wanted to reciprocate the favour. Since Yang Kai gave him eternal relief, he wanted to return the kindness in full.

It truly was as the saying went, ‘When one door closed, a window would open’.

Yang Kai imdiately sat down cross-legged. [The Nothingness Array operates on the principle of the Five Elents mutually reinforcing each other. If I reverse the surrounding flow, then the Five Elents would mutually oppose each other.]

He cautiously perceived his surroundings and sure enough, it didn’t take long before Yang Kai detected the pure Five Elent Powers in this vast white world. He had failed to perceive this phenonon previously for two reasons. The first was that he had not investigated this place calmly and the second was that he had been too anxious searching for an exit. It was not until the Remnant Soul gave him a hint that he discovered this phenonon.

At present, Yang Kai had condensed four out of the Five Elents; Wood, Fire, Earth, and Water Elent. As he had yet to co across a suitable tal Elent treasure, he had not condensed his tal Elent Power. Be that as it may, he had the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd which contained the Sixth-Order Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, so he could use that as a replacent.

After coming to a decision, Yang Kai didn’t hesitate. [Regardless of the circumstances, there’s no harm in trying. It will be great if I can find the exit. In any case, it’s not too late to figure out another solution if I fail to locate one!]

Taking out the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd, he opened the lid and focused his mind. He then quietly drew on the four Powers in his Dao Seal and guided the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light out of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd. Following that, he activated them in a sequence where the Five Elents mutually suppressed each other. In an instant, the energy in his surroundings surged violently and bursts of crackling sounds kept ringing out.

When Yang Kai activated the Wood Elent Power, he suddenly rembered the Wood Elent Divine Ability that he had the fortune to comprehend earlier. The situation had been too urgent back then, so he had no ti to study it further. It would now seem that the Wood Elent Divine Ability contained more than re defensive abilities. There were even more aspects to it that he had yet to discover. Unfortunately, the current situation was not the right ti to ponder about this Wood Elent Divine Ability either. [I have to find a ti to research this Divine Ability properly once I leave the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.]

The Power of the Five Elents circulated endlessly, mutually suppressing each other.

Yang Kai separated a thread of his consciousness to monitor the changes in his surroundings; however, nothing happened even after waiting for a long ti.

This situation made his heart sink. He did not suspect the Soul of lying to him as generally speaking, the words of a dying man tend to be the truth. The Soul had been tortured by Blood Monster Divine Monarch for so many years so it was highly unlikely for him to leave behind lies when Yang Kai was the one to relieve him of his suffering. There could only be two reasons for this outco. Either Yang Kai’s strength was insufficient or the Soul was so confused that he rembered wrongly. The Soul had been tortured for so many years that he forgot his own na, so it was possible that his mory was flawed.

An idea ca to Yang Kai the mont that thought crossed his mind. He reversed the Power of the Five Elents once more, instantly transforming the cycle so that the Five Elents mutually reinforced each other!

As soon as he completed the change, he suddenly noticed the faint outline of a step appearing in front of him! Yang Kai’s expression blood in excitent, but before he could take a closer look, the step vanished out of sight again.

[I’m confident that what I saw just now is not an illusion. It’s a real staircase, even if it’s only one step...] Stopping the movents of his hands, Yang Kai considered for a brief mont. Then, he repeated his previous action. Sure enough, the step appeared before him again. It was just that the step vanished out of sight once more when he blanked out in astonishnt. Soon however, a light flashed through Yang Kai’s eyes and seed to have understood sothing.

He breathed out softly and stood up. Activating his Dao Seal and the power of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd, he drew on the Five Elents and the step appeared before him again.

This ti around, he did not hesitate. Simultaneously climbing the step, he repeated his previous action once more and the second step appeared...

Yang Kai did not hesitate and stepped forward. The Power of the Five Elents surged around him, mutually suppressing then mutually reinforcing one another in a cycle. The third step appeared under his feet.

At the beginning, Yang Kai moved fast but cautiously. It was not until he verified the conjectures in his heart that he no longer held back. Every ti he put his foot down, the next step would appear beneath his feet at a suitable ti. The higher he walked, the further he went. His footsteps were steady, almost as though he wanted to walk above the clouds and slip through the barriers of the sky.

He did not know how long had passed, but it felt like he had climbed at least a thousand steps. At one point, he lifted his foot and realised that there were no further steps in front of him. His first reaction was shock. He originally thought that he had made a mistake sowhere and caused sothing to go wrong as a result, but when he looked ahead, he discovered that he had sohow appeared in a Grand Hall.

Looking back, there was no sign of a staircase and even the world of white was gone.

[I’m out!] Yang Kai felt a mixture of astonishnt and joy. The Soul had not rembered the thod to break the Grand Array wrongly, it was just that what he recalled was incomplete. It was fortunate that Yang Kai had a flexible mind; otherwise, he might not have been able to escape that strange Grand Array.

There was a whirring noise coming from the side, similar to the pumping of an old and broken bellows. Yang Kai turned to look and imdiately beca horrified. Taking a large step backward, he retreated into the distance and shouted through gritted teeth, “Hei Ya!”

[I can’t believe I’m eting Black Crow Divine Monarch here!] At this point, how could he not realise that this old bastard had tricked everybody?

Earlier, Black Crow Divine Monarch had to borrow everybody’s power to break the barrier around the Blood Monster Divine Palace and distract the Seventh-Order Monster Beast guarding it. For that reason, he had given a lot of sweet promises to the others. He even went so far as to swear a blood oath on his Dao Seal, claiming that he would not attack anybody once they entered the Blood Monster Divine Palace as long as they did not provoke him first!

His attitude had been extrely sincere, which was why everybody willingly cooperated with him; after all, the Blood Monster Divine Palace would surely contain many treasures. It was not easy for them to arrive this far, so who would not want to go in and take a look around?

Even Yang Kai had been extrely tempted, but after his experience just now, how could he not understand that everybody had fallen for Black Crow Divine Monarch’s sches?

Black Crow Divine Monarch clearly knew about the white world. He also knew that anybody who tried to enter the Blood Monster Divine Palace would fall into that Nothingness Array. However, he alone knew the way out. If everybody else was trapped inside the Grand Array and he alone could escape, then wouldn’t that an that the entire Blood Monster Divine Palace would belong to him?

If Yang Kai had not received guidance from that Remnant Soul, he would not have been able to escape this quickly either. What he did not expect was that he would co face to face with Black Crow Divine Monarch as soon as he entered the Grand Hall.

Similarly, Black Crow Divine Monarch was as shocked as Yang Kai. His eyes widened as large as eggs and he breathed rapidly as though he had seen a ghost, blurting out incredulously, “Brat, why are you here!?”
