Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Confronting the Emperor Level Artifact Spirit, The Soul Capturing Pearl Exerts Its Power! (Asking for Follows)

But the Mara Ancient Trees at the Great Venerable Realm actually managed to rely on Destructive Material to wipe out the dark-brown flames—the flames would be completely extinguished the moment they neared the tree trunks. An hour went by, and not a single Great Venerable Mara Ancient Tree burned to death.

And the Mara Ancient Trees at the Great Venerable Realm had counterattacked. Countless rays of Destruction shot out from the leaves, raining down on Xiao Ye like a torrential downpour.

Xiao Ye decisively stopped using the Fire Element Control innate skill and ceased attacking. He jumped to another location through Space Jump, hiding himself and blocking all senses.

In the Primordial Forest, he had already burned over eighty Original Mara Ancient Trees to death, extracting 155 Time Rule Fragment Crystals.

With the Time Fragment Crystals in hand, he returned to the Teleportation Array Barrier.

Mu Qingxue seemed a bit sulky, glaring at him with beautiful eyes without saying a word.

Xiao Ye shrugged and said, "I was going to show you what I got, but if you don’t want to see, whatever."

"Hmph!" Mu Qingxue turned away, "Only a jerk who treats me like a vase would do that. I don’t want to see anything."

Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, "Fine, my precious, I’ll just show Sister Yun Bing and the others when I get back."

Then, he activated the Teleportation Array and sent himself directly to the very top floor of the Bronze Hall—the tenth floor!

Xiao Ye took out the Rule Level Soul Capturing Pearl and activated its absorption function, making sure he was ready to absorb Soul Bodies at any moment.

The Bronze Hall was an Emperor-level Spiritual Artifact, and he was about to face its Artifact Spirit—an Emperor-level Artifact Spirit, whose combat power and means were formidable, leaving no room for the slightest carelessness.

Xiao Ye spoke seriously, "Hey, kiddo, in a minute, I’m going to subdue the Artifact Spirit of the Bronze Hall. Hide behind me and don’t move around."

"Otherwise, the both of us could die right here."

Mu Qingxue was still angry, pouting as she replied absentmindedly, "So what, it’s just the Artifact Spirit of the Bronze Hall..."

Once she realized what he had said, her pretty face froze.

"Huh?"

She widened her eyes, saying in disbelief, "Are you out of your mind? You actually dare to go after the Artifact Spirit of the Bronze Hall and even dream of taking it over? Do you have a death wish?"

Xiao Ye waved the Rule Level Soul Capturing Pearl in his hand, "Would I do something I wasn’t sure about?"

Mu Qingxue opened her mouth and, after two seconds of silence, replied, "I’ll work with you."

With a sudden flash of white light,

the two appeared at the very top level—the tenth floor—of the Bronze Hall.

Outside the Teleportation Array was a vast gray-blue hall, boundless in scale. But at a glance, one could vaguely see the spire a thousand meters up in the air.

Above the hall, countless visible streams of Rule Power flowed from the spire like water, streaming off in all directions and burrowing deep into the ground.

Xiao Ye stepped out of the Teleportation Array with both hands tightly gripping the Soul Capturing Pearl.

Mu Qingxue looked a little nervous, trailing behind him obediently, not daring to show even a hint of attitude.

Beyond the Teleportation Array was an altar, radiating an ancient and heavy aura of history.

The place was empty. The two of them stood before the altar for a while—no virtual display appeared, and there was no prompt revealing the trial of this floor.

"Tenth floor—most likely the very top of the Bronze Hall."

"Which means the Artifact Spirit has to be on this level," Xiao Ye speculated.

Looking around, Mu Qingxue extended her senses. "That Artifact Spirit—it doesn’t seem to be here. Xiao Ye, maybe we should just go back. The Bronze Hall itself is a high-level Spiritual Artifact. That Artifact Spirit is way out of our league."

Xiao Ye laughed, "What, you chickening out?"

Mu Qingxue stamped her foot and said anxiously, "If we screw up we’re dead! This isn’t chickening out—this is called being smart."

Xiao Ye shook his head, steeled himself, and used his energy to amplify his voice, shouting loudly,

"Hey, old Artifact Spirit, time to come out and greet your guests!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

As the energy spread, his voice rippled out, echoing through the entire hall, resounding in every corner again and again.

"!!!" Mu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes widened. *You know it’s dangerous, but you still call him out on purpose.*

She said speechlessly, "You really are fearless—do you honestly have zero sense of self-preservation?"

Xiao Ye shot her a devilish smile.

Bzz, bzz, bzz!

The air around them whirled; winds rising out of nowhere, and an aged yet powerful voice sounded out.

"Ah, so it is you, Child of Destiny."

A tall, white-haired old man with a smiling face appeared on the altar, then flashed and materialized in front of Xiao Ye.

Mu Qingxue dashed behind Xiao Ye in one quick step, blinking her beautiful eyes curiously at the old man.

The Artifact Spirit of the Bronze Hall—a super ancient monster that had survived since the Ancient Era.

In the tiny fragments of memory she had inherited from her past life, the Bronze Hall Artifact Spirit had at least pseudo-Emperor combat power. That was a whole tier higher than her Saint Realm strength in her previous life, and inside the Bronze Hall the ancient Artifact Spirit might even be able to unleash full Emperor Level power.

*This kind of power could easily rule the outside world.*

Maybe sensing a threat, the smile on the Artifact Spirit’s face abruptly disappeared, turning nasty. He scowled, his eyes locked on the Soul Capturing Pearl in Xiao Ye’s hand—the source of danger.

The old man was shocked and blurted out, "Soul Capturing Pearl! That’s the Soul Capturing Pearl! You actually possess the Soul Capturing Pearl."

"Hiss!" He sucked in a breath. "No wonder you’re the Child of Destiny—the core of Qi Fortune born from heaven and earth itself. When fate seems sealed, you turn the tide, bouncing back from death’s door and even being reborn. You’re destined for supremacy."

Xiao Ye was a bit surprised, *This Artifact Spirit actually recognizes the Soul Capturing Pearl!*

He immediately activated the Soul Body absorption function of the Soul Capturing Pearl and cranked it up to full power.

BOOM!

A dazzling light burst from the Soul Capturing Pearl.

"Wait! Young friend, if you want to subdue me, there’s no need to waste so much effort or drain the Soul Capturing Pearl’s energy. I’ll serve you on my own." The old man’s voice rang out.

Xiao Ye sneered, "You think I’d buy that?"

A blinding radiance instantly exploded, filling the entire tenth-floor hall with light, illuminating every corner, leaving not a single shadow behind.

But the old man didn’t dodge at all; he simply dropped all his defenses.

He was swept into the Soul Power Space by the Soul Capturing Pearl in an instant!

The radiant light faded and the scene returned to normal.

Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue both looked stunned.

*Was that it?*

*That easy to take him down?*

Inside the Soul Power Space, the old man looked around, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes as he said,

"Back here again—brings back memories."

"I wasn’t originally an innate Artifact Spirit born from the Bronze Hall. My real identity was the Young Clan Leader of the Tang Family Lineage during the Ancient Era. After the Tang Family Lineage was destroyed in ancient times, I perished as well, but my Soul Body was drawn into the Soul Capturing Pearl. With the Soul Power Space, my soul survived. Thanks to the help of our clan’s ancestors, I eventually merged with the Bronze Hall and became its Artifact Spirit, bound forever to it."

"As long as the Bronze Hall stands, I cannot die—I’m essentially immortal, which is how I’ve survived to this day."

"The Soul Capturing Pearl is higher level than the Bronze Hall and holds an innate and absolute dominance over Soul Body beings like me. I can’t escape its absorption. So, if you wish to subdue me, I’m willing to serve you as my master."
