Chapter 2917: Crying to Heaven, No Answer; Crying to Earth, No Response

“Good heavens, is this the power of the Combined Martial Soul? Truly formidable!

No wonder they dared to confront me despite knowing I killed Huo Yu. They definitely have some confidence.”

Ling Xiao sensed it the moment he touched the King of Prison Beasts.

In terms of strength, both sides were evenly matched.

Neither surpassed the other.

So, he was somewhat surprised.

However, he didn’t know that the Great Minister was even more astonished.

After Ling Xiao completely transformed into a beast, he actually possessed the ability to rival the King of Prison Beasts. This was utterly unexpected.

It should be known that this King of Prison Beasts was the key for them, the eight, to defeat Huo Yu.

No wonder Huo Yu would die at Ling Xiao’s hands.

“Ling Xiao, this is it for you! You can’t move now, and I can easily kill you!”

As the Great Minister spoke, his figure flickered and he was already atop the Magma Three-headed Dog.

A Giant Sword appeared in his hand, ready to pierce into the dog’s head.

“Fools, I’m just playing along with you. Did you really take it seriously?”

Ling Xiao’s voice exploded from the Magma Three-headed Dog’s mouth.

“You think the power of your King of Prison Beasts is strong? Then I’ll tear it apart for you to witness!

Divine Phoenix Power, fuse!”

This time, Ling Xiao only used the Divine Phoenix Power of the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit.

A phoenix made of flames flew from the void and merged into Ling Xiao’s body.

At that moment, Ling Xiao’s strength surged again.

But the King of Prison Beasts had no room left to increase.

This terrifying aura shook off the approaching Great Minister near Ling Xiao.

“Die now!”

A furious roar again issued from the dog’s mouth.

All three heads bit simultaneously.

Its giant claws struck the King of Prison Beasts, followed by a storm-like onslaught.

The King of Prison Beasts was ravaged amidst the storm.

Finally, it was torn to pieces.

In that instant, as the King of Prison Beasts shattered, the Seven Generals all fell to the ground, spitting blood, looking utterly embarrassed.

“The Martial Soul is a person’s second soul. Hurting the Martial Soul naturally injures you, leaving you with no ability to fight me.”

The huge Magma Three-headed Dog stood in the valley, towering over ten meters, its terrifying body creating enormous pressure and intense fear in the Seven Generals.

“This person is terrifying!”

The Seven Generals looked desperately at the giant creature.

Terrifying magma constantly dripped from the dog’s mouths, turning the surrounding into a magma land.

Moreover, this magma could remain fluid without solidifying, its searing heat rising constantly, making the valley resemble scenes from Hell.

“You’ve had your fun, now it’s my turn! Since you like playing with fire, I’ll let you die in flames!”

The fierce voice of Ling Xiao emanated from all three of the dog’s heads.

It was thicker than usual, more majestic and powerful, more fearsome.

“Scorching Hell! Activate!”

With the voice booming, the terrifying Scorching Hell enveloped the entire battlefield.

Trapping the Seven Generals and the Great Minister inside.

Ling Xiao intended to kill these eight people, not allowing the Volcanic King and Volcanic Crown Prince to intervene casually.

A Martial Soul Barrier further encased the hellish battleground.

On this battlefield, they fought until death.

“This is bad, he wants to trap us!”

The Great Minister shouted in panic: “You seven find a way to shatter this barrier, I’ll buy us time!”

With the King of Prison Beasts destroyed, everyone, including the Great Minister, lost their fighting spirit.

As that was their strongest attack method, yet it was easily demolished by Ling Xiao.

All they could do now was run!

“Run? Easier said than done, you attacked me first, now it’s my turn to attack! Can you really escape?”

The enormous Magma Three-headed Dog took a step forward, as flames raged and magma surged inside Scorching Hell.

It turned into a sea of fire, a real hell.

“My King, save us!”

Finally, even the Great Minister felt fear.

He had never begged the Volcanic King for help, but today, even knowing it was shameful, he had to call for rescue.

Because he knew if he didn’t, and if the Volcanic King and Volcanic Crown Prince didn’t step in.

They’d be doomed.

“Ling Xiao, release them, and I won’t harm your family!”

The Volcanic King didn’t intervene but spoke arrogantly to Ling Xiao.

However, what answered him were two horrific screams.

Two of the Seven Generals were boiled into skeletons by the magma, burned alive.

Their energy flowed into Ling Xiao’s body, dormant in his cells, becoming Ling Xiao’s potential power.

Others watched in terror as two figures gradually melted in the magma, hearts twitching constantly.

It was too frightening; this wasn’t ordinary magma.

Otherwise, given their cultivation level, they shouldn’t have been easily engulfed and extinguished.

“Despicable! You dare ignore my words!”

The Volcanic King flew into a rage, stamped his foot, and instantly appeared outside the barrier, throwing a punch at Scorching Hell.

He believed that with his strength, he could easily destroy this barrier.

But he was mistaken.

And it was a colossal error.

The barrier wasn’t destroyed; instead, he was hurled back by his own power.

Though uninjured, his appearance was utterly embarrassing, making a fool of himself before everyone.

Ling Xiao ignored the anger of the Volcanic King and Volcanic Crown Prince.

After killing two, he still didn’t stop.

Waving giant claws, he directly tossed three more into the magma.

His speed was indeed too fast.

It’s hard to imagine such a massive body moving so dexterously.

In an instant, only two of the Seven Generals remained.

As before, the energy from the melted bodies also seeped into Ling Xiao, dormant for now.

Such energy wasn’t pure, stored as potential to slowly transform until it fully became Ling Xiao’s own without side effects.

Screams rang continuously.

The Volcanic King and Volcanic Crown Prince, however, were helpless.

They could only watch as the elite eight they brought were brutally slaughtered by Ling Xiao.

Only now did the Great Minister understand.

Ling Xiao didn’t use all his strength to slay Huo Yu, perhaps not even half.

They were too foolish.

Without thorough investigation of Ling Xiao, they naively assumed based on reports from the royal family’s remnants that Ling Xiao’s strength was at most slightly above Huo Yu.

But clearly, that was a huge mistake.

“Damn it, since there’s no escape, fight to the death.”

The Great Minister knew that even the Volcanic King and Volcanic Crown Prince couldn’t help him now.

All he could do was fight desperately.
