Chapter 3669: The Imprint of Soul Incineration and Stabilisation
After turning into a colossal elephant, her physical strength erupted. With a sweep of her long trunk, she knocked away the three Immortal Emperors encircling her.
After repelling the trio, Xiang Hong rapidly rushed towards the middle-aged man who was drawing the talisman. At the same time, she swung her huge trunk, swiping out with terrifying strength like a pillar.
But at this moment, Xiang Hong suddenly seemed to run out of strength. She staggered and almost fell over.
The dagger stuck in her body became brighter and brighter. It rapidly devoured her blood, making her weaker and weaker.
With each breath, Xiang Hong would lose large amounts of strength.
“Uncle Lan, uncle Mowen, stop Xiang Hong quickly and make time for brother He Yu,” said one of the Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor middle-aged men sternly. Ignoring his wounds, he threw himself at Xiang Hong with his full strength.
The two Immortal Emperors were also ferocious. The two of them struck at the same time, combining their strength to obstruct Xiang Hong.
The Immortal Emperors clashed deep underground. Even though the surrounding walls were protected by formations and were not damaged, they still could not stop the violent trembles from spreading outwards.
The talisman burning at the entrance of the cave could only obscure the senses of the soul. It could not cover the shaking of the earth.
Normally, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would notice the situation here immediately, but the sect had already fallen into chaos. Mountains exploded one after another, and the ground never stopped shaking.
Those conditions perfectly covered up the disturbances here.
In the beginning, Xiang Hong was still able to gain the upper hand as she faced the encirclement of the four Immortal Emperors, but as the dagger in her back drained her blood, she became weaker and weaker. As a result, after fighting for a while, she gradually became exhausted and showed signs of weakening as she faced the attacks of the three Immortal Emperors before her.
“Why aren’t the experts of the sect here yet? If this continues, I can’t last any longer.” Xiang Hong was vexed. The dagger in her back was very devilish. It latched onto her like a leech, sticking firmly to the wound and preventing her from pulling it out.
Suddenly, Xiang Hong sensed something and looked in the direction of the surface. She immediately became stern.
In the next moment, she no longer kept fighting. She turned around with her colossal figure and rushed towards the entrance at the top.
“Xiang Hong is trying to escape. We can’t let her get away, or we’ll be prematurely exposed.” The three middle-aged men panicked and immediately chased after her.
At this moment, Immortal Emperor He Yu who sat mid-air and drew the talisman suddenly said, “Xiang Hong, how does it feel to be enslaved as a mount by the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”
When she heard that, Xiang Hong came to a sudden halt. She began to tremble violently as she immediately began to see red.
“Shut up, shut up, shut up! Don’t you mention what happened in the past again! Argh! Screw you! I’m going to kill you!” At this moment, Xiang Hong behaved like she had been triggered. She actually gave up on running. She looked like she was about to bleed from her scarlet-red eyes. She rushed towards Immortal Emperor He Yu with raging anger.
Immortal Emperor He Yu smiled and said calmly, “You clearly had the opportunity to escape, but in the end, you’ll have to die here today because you couldn’t emerge from the shadows of your past.”
By now, he had completed his talisman. It glistened with golden light as it hovered before him, radiating with a mysterious power.
In the next moment, Immortal Emperor He Yu suddenly extended his finger towards Xiang Hong.
With that, the glistening talisman turned into a streak of dazzling lightning and immediately sank into Xiang Hong’s head.
Immediately, Xiang Hong let out a miserable howl. Her eyes had already become dark golden. Dazzling golden light poured out of her orifices.
When the golden talisman entered her head, it turned into a ball of golden flames that incinerated her soul.
At this moment, Xiang Hong endured unimaginable pain. Her powerful soul as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor rapidly dimmed.
In the end, after struggling painfully for a few seconds, Xiang Hong collapsed on the ground. Her soul had already been reduced to ashes, and her colossal body shrivelled up. The strange dagger in her body had already sucked her dry.
Looking at the colossal corpse that laid on the ground, the three other Immortal Emperors present were all rather speechless. With their strength, they actually managed to slay a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor in such a short amount of time. They never would have even thought of this in the past.
There was some exhaustion on Immortal Emperor He Yu’s face. He arrived before Xiang Hong’s shrivelled corpse and pulled out the strange dagger to stow it away before picking up a Space Ring. He rummaged through the Space Ring and pulled out a tablet that he tossed towards one of the middle-aged men. “This is the key to opening the cages. Jun Yiming, go and rescue your uncle Tian.”
“Thank you, brother He Yu!” One of the Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor middle-aged men was touched. He accepted the key and immediately rushed off to the floor above.
Hidden in the dark, Jian Chen watched as Jun Yiming vanished. He had already confirmed that the person who communicated with the senses of the soul earlier was him.
However, the person he was most concerned with was Immortal Emperor He Yu.
“Fellow He Yu is truly exceptional. You actually managed to kill a Fourth Heavenly Layer great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants with such ease. If it weren’t for your help, our Jun family might have never been able to rescue Jun Tianyi who was trapped here.”
“Our Jun family will never forget about the debt we owe to fellow He Yu today.”
With Jun Yiming’s departure, the two other Immortal Emperors of the Jun family clasped their hands towards Immortal Emperor He Yu to thank him. They were grateful.
“I’m not as powerful as you imagine me to be. The main reason why we were able to kill Xiang Hong so easily was because of the Blood Soul Dagger in my possession,” Immortal Emperor He Yu said calmly before turning his gaze towards the distance.
A stone pillar stood in the direction of his gaze. A few chains wrapped around it, tying up a soul.
The soul was extremely dim. It was vaguely possible to make out the figure of an old man, except his face was contorted and in extreme pain as if he faced unimaginable torture at every moment.
It was possible to clearly see black glyphs within his soul, which had fused completely with his soul already.
Gazing at the imprisoned soul, Immortal Emperor He Yu’s expression became mixed. He said with some sympathy and pity, “This is the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ Imprint of Soul Incineration and Stabilisation. Incineration because the soul will be constantly under the pain of being incinerated, but stabilisation because it can also stabilise the soul and ensure it never perishes.”
“Once the Imprint of Soul Incineration and Stabilisation is planted, it would mean living in endless pain while being unable to die. All you can do is endure this excruciating torture forever.”
“The Imprint of Soul Incinernation and Stabilisation was personally planted by an Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. It’s extremely vicious. It’s just a pity that I can’t save him!”
Immortal Emperor He Yu was gloomy.
“Fellow He Yu, who is this person? From the strength of his soul, he’s the same as us, an early Immortal Emperor, yet he received such treatment from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, being cursed with something so vicious. On top of that, great elder Xiang Hong seems to spend all of her time torturing this person as a pastime,” one of the Immortal Emperors from the Jun family asked curiously.
