Duan Gujin didn't know much about Soul Fire; he only knew that if he successfully devoured its power, his Spiritual Power could be greatly enhanced.

Soul Fire is an energy mass that appears only after a strong being dies, and not every strong being can leave behind Soul Fire upon death.

Only those whose Spiritual Power is strong enough, and under fortuitous circumstances, can leave behind Soul Fire.

"Why don't you attack me anymore? I thought you despised me to the bone before? Come attack me! Weren't you acting all arrogant just now? Come on!"

After a while, Duan Gujin suddenly taunted arrogantly.

"You humans deserve to die! Later, when I lead the Netherworld Dark Clan army here, I will definitely exterminate all of you damned humans, not sparing a single one!"

The 'Round Ball' heard Duan Gujin's provocation and was extremely furious, immediately responding with indignation.

Hearing the 'Round Ball's' words, Duan Gujin burst into raucous laughter.

He knew that the 'Round Ball' probably had no way to counterattack him.

Although he felt that the opponent probably couldn't retaliate, he didn't dare to take it lightly; he knew that he must not underestimate the generals of the Netherworld Dark Clan.

Even if generals were a rank lower than the Demon King, those of the Netherworld Dark Clan that were sealed as generals definitely had considerable strength.

If this 'Round Ball' in front of him was weak, it would have turned into ashes by now; it couldn't possibly have hidden itself inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.

Duan Gujin believed that the 'Round Ball' he was seeing now must belong to the kind of Netherworld Dark Clan with extremely deep schemes.

"Don't get too cocky, you humans!"

The 'Round Ball' shouted angrily.

"I've decided, I will take you in as my Artifact Spirit!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he thought of this threatening tactic.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the 'Round Ball' immediately became furiously enraged.

Almost at the same moment, Duan Gujin sensed a sudden rushing sound of something cutting through the air nearby on the ground.

"It really made a move!"

His mind was alerted, his body flickered, and he rapidly dodged the piece of gravel on the ground.

The gravel flew rapidly past him; even though its speed was incredibly fast, his Divine Sense captured it, and he could see the trajectory of the gravel clearly.

"Whoosh!"

The gravel grazed past Duan Gujin's body, flying rapidly behind him.

After the gravel landed, Duan Gujin then relinquished his Divine Sense lock on it.

"Little guy! Continue to attack me! Come on! Come on! Don't you really want to hit me? Come on! Make a move!"

Duan Gujin taunted.

"You have succeeded in angering me!"

The 'Round Ball' bellowed angrily.

The very next moment, Duan Gujin sensed another piece of gravel flying up from the ground.

This time, he noticed the gravel was only the size of a thumb, and its speed was not fast.

He took a deep breath and quickly infused Primordial Power into his palms.

He aimed for the gravel's direction, reached out with both hands, and directly caught the gravel in his hands.

In less than three breaths, he sensed the energy of the gravel dissipate rapidly.

"I understand now; these pieces of gravel must be controlled by the 'Round Ball'!"

Duan Gujin noticed that the two pieces of gravel attacking him were sticking close to the crystal stele; they must have been under the control of that 'Round Ball'.

"So that's how it is!"

Duan Gujin deduced that it was very likely the crystal stele, ancient as it was, had only a meager amount of array energy left in it.

It couldn't seal that 'Round Ball' anymore, so the 'Round Ball' could control some gravel situated right under the crystal stele through telekinesis.

If those pieces of gravel still contained fire attribute energy, then the 'Round Ball' wouldn't be able to control them.

Once the 'Round Ball' attempted to control a crystal stone containing fire attribute energy, its Divine Soul would surely be 'burnt' by that fire attribute energy.

Only when the sealing energy within the crystal stele was almost depleted and the nearby gravel had completely lost its fire attribute energy could the 'Round Ball' still trapped inside the stele manipulate some surface gravel to launch an attack on Duan Gujin.

"Hehe, I know what to do now!"

After understanding why the 'Round Ball' could attack him, Duan Gujin began cleaning the gravel outside the crystal stele.

He brushed all those gravel away from the stele, not allowing the 'Round Ball' to control them through telekinesis to attack him.

Having finished cleaning, Duan Gujin touched his nose and said coldly to the 'Round Ball'.

"General Star Sea, what can you do to me now? Weren't you arrogant before? Weren't you so smug? What makes you think you can continue to strut before me now? Come at me! Direct your attack at me!"

Duan Gujin laughed loudly and arrogantly; he wanted to completely provoke the 'Round Ball'.

"You damned humans, don't get cocky! Eventually, when I lead my army in, it will be your doomsday!"

The 'Round Ball' cursed in anger.

"Hahaha, keep swearing! I like listening to it!"

Duan Gujin acted very shamelessly.

The 'Round Ball' hated Duan Gujin to death in its heart; it originally wanted to launch a sneak attack on Duan Gujin by manipulating the gravel.

But it tried for a while and failed; it realized that truly, there were no gravel around the crystal stele for it to control.

It was seething with rage, yet it was completely unable to do anything to Duan Gujin.

Thus, it decided to stop cursing; its body swayed, and it went to a corner of the crystal stele, ignoring Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin saw the 'Round Ball's actions and knew what it was thinking.

"It seems it's got nothing it can do to me!"

Duan Gujin's mind raced as he thought of ways to destroy the 'Round Ball.'

"It looks like I need to find some crystal stones with fire attribute energy to deal with it!"

He looked around and started to search the ground nearby for gravel that still contained fire attribute energy.

After searching for a while, he found that there were no gravel containing fire attribute energy anywhere on the ground, even in the corners farthest from the crystal stele.

"How am I going to eradicate that 'Round Ball'?"

Duan Gujin wasn't sure of the true strength that 'Round Ball' had released; he intended to set up a fire attribute array nearby, but found that he had no crystal stones with fire attribute energy on him.

Without any crystal stones containing fire attribute energy, he had no way to set up an array.

After pondering for a while, he decided to fly upwards.

"It seems I should ask for some fire attribute energy crystal stones from the Holy Land and the Academy!"

Thinking of Zhang Di and others, Duan Gujin quickly channeled Primordial Power into his body and then used a flying technique to soar upwards.

After a while, he reached the top of the Sealing Tower.

He hurried towards the passage of the cave and soon found Zhang Di and the rest.
