Zhang Di saw Duan Gujin coming out from inside and quickly approached to inquire.

He was shocked to learn that, under the Sealing Tower, the subordinate of Jialuo Demon King, General Xinghai, was sealed.

"Do you know how long General Xinghai has been sealed here?"

Zhang Di immediately became interested in these demons that had been sealed here long ago. Only now did he realize that there were terrifying demons from other continents on the Qiankun Continent.

Luckily, these demons were sealed; otherwise, he guessed that with the strength of those demons, they would certainly have brought devastation to the Qiankun Continent, possibly leading to the extinction of all its inhabitants.

"I really don't know that; I only know that General Xinghai is extremely dangerous. Please, elder, offer all the Fire Attribute Energy Crystal Stones you have with you so I can go and completely annihilate the Residual Soul of General Xinghai! Before dying, General Xinghai might launch a desperate attack!"

Duan Gujin spoke earnestly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhang Di's mind raced. After pondering for a while, he found nothing suspicious about what had been said.

Previously, they also heeded Duan Gujin's advice that these demons feared fire or lightning, and now Duan Gujin wanted them to hand over the Fire Attribute Energy Crystal Stones they possessed to eliminate General Xinghai.

In the Qiankun Continent, Fire Attribute Energy Crystal Stones are not precious items.

In many cases, they are only used to refine some special Dark Weapons.

"Alright! I can get you some Fire Attribute Energy Crystal Stones!"

Zhang Di nodded vigorously.

Then, he gathered the other elders, asking them to hand over their Fire Attribute Crystal Stones.

Soon, Elder Zhang Di handed over the gathered Fire Attribute Crystal Stones to Duan Gujin.

Having received them and after conveying his thanks, Duan Gujin moved forward.

An elder, seeing Duan Gujin walk away, secretly transmitted a message to Zhang Di.

"Zhang Di, we're not sending anyone to follow him, is that really okay?"

"It should be fine; we should trust him. I received information that Duan Gujin is a man of Deputy Sect Master Lie Lei from Green Cloud Sect, and he holds a high position in Lie Lei's eyes."

Hearing Zhang Di's words, the elder who had doubts about Duan Gujin stopped his suspicion.

Duan Gujin returned to outside the Crystal Stele and set up a Fire Attribute Array there.

"Fortunately, Zhang Di did not suspect my intentions!"

Even if Zhang Di and others truly suspected him, at most he would fail to obtain the Soul Fire within the Crystal Stele, Duan Gujin thought, which he considered not a big loss.

For him, being able to easily devour some Soul Fire to strengthen his Spiritual Power, that was naturally a good thing; he had no reason to refuse.

"Little thing! You can't escape!"

Duan Gujin looked at the 'Round Ball' inside the Crystal Stele, sneering inwardly.

His mind raced; he had originally planned to refine the 'Round Ball' into an Artifact Spirit, but as he realized he didn't know much about it, he abandoned the idea.

If he could truly refine the 'Round Ball' into an Artifact Spirit, his Dark Weapon would ascend to a new realm.

But now he couldn't see clearly what exactly the 'Round Ball' was; he wasn't completely confident in successfully refining it.

He didn't want to gamble with his life, so he gave up the idea of refining the 'Round Ball' into an Artifact Spirit.

If Duan Gujin still had the strength of his past life, he would consider keeping the 'Round Ball' to refine it into an Artifact Spirit later.

But now, with his modest strength, he didn't want to risk any accidents.

So, he chose a safer method.

He decided to completely annihilate the 'Round Ball' first, and then, afterwards, devour and refine that Soul Fire.

After arranging everything, Duan Gujin began to slowly approach the direction of the Crystal Stele.

As he advanced, his hands formed seals, activating the Fire Attribute Array on the ground.

Moments later, the 'Round Ball' within the Crystal Stele immediately roared.

"Damned humans! I will kill you!"

Duan Gujin had previously guessed that the Crystal Stele could absorb Fire Attribute Energy, and seeing the 'Round Ball's reaction now, he knew his previous guess was not wrong.

Indeed, the next moment, Duan Gujin saw raging flames burning fiercely inside the Crystal Stele.

This terrified the 'Round Ball', which quickly spun within the Crystal Stele, trying to avoid the raging flames.

But the raging flames, like a bolt of lightning, immediately struck the 'Round Ball'.

"Humans! You all deserve to die!"

Inside the Crystal Stele, the 'Round Ball' roared.

"Really noisy!"

With a thought, Duan Gujin urged the Primordial Power to pour into the Array.

Moments later, even more intense raging flames entered the Crystal Stele, completely engulfing the 'Round Ball'.

There was a loud bang, and the 'Round Ball' exploded.

"It's finally dead!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, seeing that the 'Round Ball' was truly killed by him, he then withdrew the raging flames.

"Now, what I need to do is to collect that Soul Fire!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, knowing that to devour the Soul Fire within the Crystal Stele, he must break the Stele.

Although he had consumed some Primordial Power earlier, he could still hold on.

Not wanting to be suspected by outsiders like Zhang Di, he decided to make a strong effort and destroy the Crystal Stele.

"I'll use the Heavenly Emperor Bell to smash it!"

Duan Gujin released the Heavenly Emperor Bell, and under his control, the Heavenly Emperor Bell fiercely smashed towards the Crystal Stele.

With a thunderous crash, a corner of the Crystal Stele was smashed.

The Heavenly Emperor Bell is a treasure, very robust itself and coupled with its weight, it instantly destroyed the Crystal Stele.

Duan Gujin withdrew the Heavenly Emperor Bell, carrying out a Divine Sense Inspection of the condition of the Crystal Stele.

After confirming there were no issues, he then entered the Crystal Stele.

He continued to be cautious, carefully looking around to avoid any mishaps.

Seeing the 'Round Ball' on the ground, he first formed seals and then directly hit the 'Round Ball' with true fire.

After a while, the 'Round Ball' was burned down to nothing but a pile of stones.

Confirming there were no energy fluctuations inside the 'Round Ball', Duan Gujin then picked up the remnants of the 'Round Ball', inspecting it internally with his Divine Sense.

Moments later, he put down the stone, not finding any residual consciousness within it; he judged that the Residual Soul of General Xinghai had been completely annihilated by him.

He took a deep breath, then shifted his focus onto the Soul Fire.

He expanded his Divine Sense, carefully examining those Soul Fires.

After a while, he noticed that the Soul Fires seemed to be slowly disappearing.

"There's no time to delay! I should devour them now!"
