Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

Yuan Ming had achieved some recovery in his Soul Power through the transformation of Desire Power, but he was immediately surprised when he heard the sound of the flute played by Xi Ying.

After listening to the tune, he felt nothing but its discordance, never expecting that the Six Desires Venerable would suffer considerable damage and even have his mind controlled upon hearing it!

It appeared that the flute was an Exotic Treasure, specifically sought by Xi Ying to deal with the Six Desires Venerable.

With the Six Desires Venerable under the flute's control, the two giant black palms instantly collapsed, and both the Three-legged Golden Crow and the Soul Suppressing Kettle flew back to Xi Ying's side.

The Soul Suppressing Kettle floated above Xi Ying's head, emitting a black halo that enveloped her body.

Aside from refining Soul Power, the Soul Suppressing Kettle also had the effect of suppressing Divine Souls. Xi Ying's Divine Soul completely calmed down, and the sawing sound of the flute grew much louder. The Six Desires Venerable's Soul Power dispersed even faster, trending toward a significant reduction to the early stages of the Sleeping Witch.

All of a sudden, a green gleam flashed in the eyes of the Six Desires Venerable and a muffled explosion-like sound came from within his body; the next moment, he regained his ability to move.

He didn't bother fighting for the Soul Suppressing Kettle and turned to fly far away.

"Quick, stop him, don't let him escape!" Xi Ying's voice reached Yuan Ming through her soul splitting.

"He won't get away!" Yuan Ming sneered slightly and triggered the Shura Stone Tablet.

The mist near the Black Tower grew denser once again, forming a substantial wall of fog, and with the Black Tower at its center, a vast expanse of white foggy space was created.

Xi Ying waved her hand and a Silver Token shot out, landing within the expanse of white fog.

Brilliant silver light surged from the Token, and in just a moment, a silver barrier formed within the massive space of white fog.

The Six Desires Venerable slammed into the silver barrier with a "bang," rebounded back, his face showing fleeting expressions of fear and anxiety as a black light flashed over his body.

A giant black palm shot out, striking toward the silver barrier.

Yuan Ming's heart shuddered, and he hastily deployed the Divine Skill "Emotion Manipulation," inciting various emotions in the heart of the Six Desires Venerable.

His Soul Power had greatly declined, on par with Yuan Ming's, and his emotions were even more unstable; "Emotion Manipulation" easily grabbed hold of his fear and anxiety, amplifying them.

The Six Desires Venerable's mind instantly became chaotic, he briefly lost his rationale, and the giant black palm stopped several feet away from the silver barrier.

Xi Ying took the opportunity to form a spell and pointed toward the void below; the Golden Dragon Scissors on the ground shot out, transforming into two colossal, glaring Flood Dragons that covered dozens of feet in an instant, slicing across the body of the Six Desires Venerable.

The body of the Six Desires Venerable was cut in two. While no blood gushed out, both halves of the body exploded violently, turning into currents of Soul Power that flew in all directions.

Yuan Ming's heart settled, a wave of Soul Power descended, transforming into a surge that hit Yan Sijing.

Yan Sijing's body trembled and she awakened.

Yuan Ming had already instructed her that the moment her consciousness became clear, she was to constantly pray to the Lord Nether Moon God. With this thought, Yan Sijing felt a jolt in her heart, immediately sat up, and prayed to the Nether Moon God.

Yuan Ming swung the Soul Destroying Sword, sending out waves of Sword Qi, then appeared out of nowhere within the silver barrier and struck at the scattered Soul Power of the Six Desires Venerable.

Xi Ying reached out and fetched a light golden talisman, with golden arcs flickering on its surface, radiating the astonishing Power of Thunder and Lightning.

Yuan Ming's Divine Sense had already permeated the entire silver space, but it was cut piece by piece near Xi Ying, evaporating like snow under the fierce sun, disappearing without a trace, which shocked Yuan Ming and made him hastily control his Divine Sense to avoid approaching Xi Ying.

Xi Ying crushed the talisman in her grip, and dozens of golden arcs shot out in an instant, each targeting the scattered Divine Souls of the Six Desires Venerable, as if they had eyes, and their speed was also astonishing.

With continuous "zzzt" sounds, wherever the golden arcs swept through, the scattered Soul Power of the Six Desires Venerable instantly turned into green smoke.

In the blink of an eye, the majority of the Six Desires Venerable's Divine Soul was destroyed, with only a tiny amount of Soul Power enveloping a couple of soul leeches barely surviving, desperately trying to burrow into the silver barrier.

However, the silver barrier blocked everything; the soul leeches were unable to break through.

A joy flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, and he flipped his hand to summon the Thunder God Hammer.

Boom, boom, boom!

A blinding flash of lightning burst forth within the silver barrier, striking the residual soul of the Six Desires Venerable.

Although the Power of Thunder and Lightning emitted by the Thunder God Hammer was not as powerful as Xi Ying's Golden Thunder, it still had a restraining effect on Soul Power. The Six Desires Venerable's residual soul let out a shriek and, along with the two soul leeches, turned into green smoke.

Still not reassured, Yuan Ming waved the Thunder God Hammer non-stop, sending down streaks of silver lightning, which traveled everywhere within the silver barrier, continuing until the fragments of the Six Desires Venerable's Soul Power were also entirely obliterated, only then did he stop.

The white fog around the Black Tower dissipated, and the silver barrier collapsed with a bang.

"Are you alright? Do you need to use the soul cultivators healing secret technique again? There is an abundance of Desire Power within the White Jade Lotus Platform, so you should not worry about me. Feel free to use my Soul Power to recover," Yuan Ming appeared beside Xi Ying with a concerned inquiry.

Xi Ying's Soul Power had fully recovered, but her cheeks were still somewhat pale.

Through the recent healing, Yuan Ming had basically figured out the fundamental principle of the healing secret technique mentioned by Xi Ying, which was essentially refining the Soul Power of the other party to nourish oneself.

He had the Stealing Heaven Tripod, which could restore Soul Power at any time, so it did not matter how much of his Soul Power Xi Ying refined.

"No need, I am already much better," Xi Ying said without turning her head, her expression somewhat strange as she looked forward.

After entering the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming had noticed various peculiar things and actions from Xi Ying, but he had become accustomed to it and didn't give it much thought.

"That lightning talisman was truly formidable, almost completely countering the Divine Skills of the Six Desires," Yuan Ming remarked with some admiration.

"That talisman was given to me by the Shura Master as a reward for passing the illusion test. As for the black flute, it's called the Nightmare Demon Flute. Once played, it can cause a person's Three Souls and Seven Spirits to temporarily separate and not unite, making one feel as if they've entered a nightmare, vulnerable to manipulation, with their Soul Power naturally seeping out," explained Xi Ying, noticing Yuan Ming's interest in the two items.

"This Nightmare Demon Flute is indeed an Exotic Treasure. Without it, our encounter with the Six Desires would have been much more difficult," Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully, understanding the situation.

The Shura Master had already discovered the Six Desires Venerable lurking in secret and had provided a talisman to Xi Ying, prepared in advance to counter the Divine Soul Skills, aiding her in exterminating the Six Desires Venerable.

The operation to surround the Six Desires could be considered a plan devised by both the past Shura Master and the present Xi Ying, spanning time and space to cooperate in action, which naturally also involved quite a bit of luck, and Yuan Ming himself had inadvertently become embroiled in it, but he too had played a significant role.

"This flute's effect is strong, but it has one prerequisite: only those whose Divine Souls are injured will be affected by its sound. The more severe the injury, the stronger the effect. Conversely, if the Divine Soul is unharmed, the Nightmare Demon Flute will be useless, even against ordinary mortals, and the owner of the flute, whether injured or not, is immune to its influence," Xi Ying added.

Yuan Ming thought to himself that, although this black flute had stringent conditions for use, if used skillfully, it could be extraordinarily effective.

"Regardless, the Divine Soul of the Six Desires Venerable has been extinguished by us, everything is finally coming to an end," he said with a sigh of relief.

"It's not time to relax yet. As long as a single soul leech remains, the Six Desires can revive at any time. Back then, the Shura Master was careless for a moment and failed to find all the soul leeches, which allowed the Six Desires to survive by luck," Xi Ying shook her head and said.

Yuan Ming nodded, taking a mental note to stay alert.

The Six Desires was a monster that had evaded death even from the Shura Master in the Returning to Void Stage; Yuan Ming absolutely could not afford to be careless.

Seeing Yuan Ming's demeanor become serious again, Xi Ying did not remind him further. Instead, she slapped her Storage Bag, took out a white Cloud Disk, and with a flick of her fingers, images of her and Yuan Ming appeared on it, along with seven or eight points of light lighting up, one of which was right under their feet.

"This is a Magic Treasure that I specially had someone refine for tracking the location of the Six Desires soul leeches," she explained upon seeing Yuan Ming's curious gaze.

"So these points of light are his soul leeches? This one so close to us, could it be attached to the Void Stone?" Yuan Ming stroked his chin, a glint in his eye.

The two immediately returned to the underground Stone Chamber where the Void Stone was located. Looking at the Void Stone suspended beside the sarcophagus, Xi Ying had a thought, and a red Fire Phoenix flew out from her Sea of Consciousness, shooting into the Void Stone.

An orange flame instantly enveloped the Void Stone. Amidst the intense Burning, a silver soul leech suddenly drilled out from the Void Stone and was reduced to ashes by the flames.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming's brow twitched. He could sense that the flames enveloping the Void Stone were transformed from Soul Power, which might not have been so powerful against a Physical Body, but the damage they could inflict on a soul body was beyond imagination.

Perhaps that red Fire Phoenix was Xi Ying's Divine Soul Transformation.

As he pondered this, suddenly his expression changed, and he summoned the Shura Stone Tablet, discovering it had returned to normal.

"You can control the forbidden powers of the Shura Palace again? Then quickly seal this space completely, don't let that silver man escape," Xi Ying glanced at Yuan Ming and reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming immediately activated the Barrier, immobilizing the entire space of the Shura Palace. Unless someone used the palace's own Teleportation Array, no one could use the Space Power to move freely.

Of course, the distance Yuan Ming could move instantaneously through the barrier had been significantly reduced, but compared to letting the silver man escape, this drawback was trivial.

Then, Yuan Ming focused his mind, searching every corner of the Shura Palace through the control of the forbidden powers, and soon, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"It seems Ni Mu's two subordinates have been controlled by the Six Desires and are now attacking him. He's in a bit of a tight spot; should we go help him right now?" Yuan Ming looked towards Xi Ying.

Xi Ying furrowed her brow as she thought for a moment, then asked,: "What is Ni Mu using to fend off his attackers?"

"...What is he using? Naturally, it's Magic Treasures and Spells; what else could it be?" Yuan Ming was utterly puzzled.

However, Xi Ying simply smiled mysteriously and shook her head, "Then we don't need to intervene. He still has an ace up his sleeve, and for dealing with the Physical Body of the Six Desires, it should be more than enough."

Yuan Ming nodded dubiously and checked on Ni Mu's situation once more. Seeing that he was struggling but not seriously hurt, he took Xi Ying's word for it and dropped the subject of providing assistance.
