"You think you can spy on our secrets?" Qi Chong's tone was fierce. Hearing Shen Sangri mention the key information again, he wished he could crawl out of the system to shut her up.

She smiled and said, "It's alright, even if you don't tell me, I have my own ways of finding out."

After all, Qi Chong and the system were in her hands. Since Bai Mumu could know the relevant information, she could naturally find out as well.

Her tone was mocking, "All eight formations you painstakingly set up have been broken. Ten thousand years of planning is nothing more than this. Most of your schemes have been neutralized. Is there any point in continuing?"

"Even you have been captured by us now. We'll soon be able to follow the clues and find your hideout. Will you still be so calm then?"

"You might as well confess and get leniency; maybe we can spare your life later."

Shen Sanruo's tone was exceptionally arrogant, and those who knew her knew that she seemed to be deliberately provoking Qi Chong.

"You only managed to capture a wisp of my soul. I don't know what you have to be so proud of." Qi Chong's voice changed. "Let me tell you, this is just the beginning."

"Do you think our plan only includes formations? Don't forget, there's still an evil entity roaming outside. Have you figured out how to deal with it?"

"You will soon be able to experience the power of that evil creature. Just one of it is enough to turn your cultivation world upside down!" Qi Chong's tone was extremely arrogant, not like he was just putting on airs.

After all, it was something they had created over ten thousand years using countless evil energies, and it had reached the point where it could transform into a human.

Those spirit beasts, spirit plants, and other living creatures that cultivate and transform into humans are already quite powerful, not to mention that the original form of that evil creature doesn't even have a physical body. Qi Chong was confident in this.

His anger gradually subsided, and he spoke with the air of a superior who controlled their fate: "You are the ones who are truly in dire straits. You should think about how to deal with that evil creature first."

"Only after you get past him will you be qualified to truly fight us."

What Shen Sangruo and the others are fighting against now is nothing more than something that evil cultivators laid out ten thousand years ago.

They haven't even caught a glimpse of a true heretical cultivator.

"With your confidence, you must be able to easily slay that evil creature, right? I truly look forward to the day you fight me. Don't disappoint me." After the taunt, he began to speak sarcastically.

It seems that this evil object is the last thing that the evil cultivator set up ten thousand years ago. After this last shield is shattered, the evil cultivator will no longer be able to hide.

If they want to continue their grand plan to conquer the cultivation world, they will have no choice but to take action themselves.

They managed to extract some information, but the expressions on everyone's faces were far from pleasant.

Shen Sanruo pondered without speaking, gathering her divine soul power in her hand, preparing to probe Qi Chong's divine soul integrated into the system, hoping to obtain more information.

The moment Qi Chong's soul power came into contact with the system, he realized what she was about to do.

"Just a wisp of divine soul, don't think you've won! You're dreaming if you think you can find anything from me!"

He has already sacrificed so much for that plan, would he still care about a wisp of a soul?

He just didn't expect to fall into Shen Sangruo's hands so quickly. He would feel better if it were Changli Immortal Lord and his group, at least they were people from the same "era" as him.

Yet, this newcomer emerged amidst a world where spiritual energy had been waning and overall strength had been declining for millennia.

This made Qi Chong feel extremely humiliated.

I originally planned to use the system to remove the nail from Shen Sangruo's flesh, and then cooperate with the evil creature. Even if I couldn't take over the cultivation world in one fell swoop, I could at least do something big. There was a lot of room for me to make a difference.

Who would have thought that Bai Mumu, that good-for-nothing, would be so useless, not only failing to do anything but also causing him to lose a wisp of his divine soul.

It's a shame that such a good tool as the system has been wasted.

Thinking of this, Qi Chong felt even angrier.

They will surely pay the price for his wisp of divine soul!

As soon as Shen Sangruo's divine soul power probed into the system, he felt that the entire system was in a very unstable state, with garbled text everywhere, as if it was on the verge of collapse.

It was undoubtedly Qi Chong who activated the system's self-destruct program; his soul would soon disappear along with the system.

Although she knew that Qi Chong wouldn't let her get more so easily, Shen Sangruo couldn't help but show a regretful expression.

There was no need to investigate further, so he decisively withdrew his divine soul power to prevent Qi Chong from playing any underhanded tricks.

But the now intermittent electronic voice still sneered, "Did you think you were safe just because you withdrew your divine soul power? I've left you a carefully prepared gift, so be sure to keep it safe!"

"Everyone, step back." Shen Sanruo said in a deep voice, her eyes narrowed. Not knowing what Qi Chong wanted to do, she quickly distanced herself from the rapidly flashing ball of light.

The others also quickly retreated.

The red light emitted by the system flickered rapidly, and it continuously emitted danger signals similar to warnings.

Before the system completely collapsed, the last sound they heard was Qi Chong's laughter.

Then, countless wisps of divine souls were seen rapidly radiating outwards from the system.

The scene was comparable to the dodder flower demon unleashing its full power, except that instead of vines, it was spreading souls.

And those divine souls are increasing at a visible rate.

It quickly occupied a large area of ​​their field of vision!

The crowd looked astonished, but instinctively stepped back to avoid the frantically emanating divine souls.

"What are all these things?!" Song Weiyan exclaimed as she backed away.

"It's like some kind of mutated divine soul." Immortal Lord Changli stared at those transparent, faintly glowing filaments.

The area they had just been in was now filled with that strange divine power.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy looked somewhat surprised. "The system contains so many divine souls?"

The ever-spreading divine soul seemed endless, far exceeding the system's storage capacity.

"I'd like to see what this is all about." Relying on his high resistance as one of the Five Divine Beasts, Qi Yan directly confronted the divine souls.

Before Shen Sangri could even say anything to stop him, seeing that he had already made contact with the divine soul, she could only ask him how he was doing.

Fortunately, Qi Yan was a man of principle, and he quickly withdrew after only a brief contact.

Qi Yan explained the situation in detail: "That soul is somewhat aggressive. After contact, it began to attack my soul, and it is still spreading. It's very strange."

Fortunately, he was quite resilient, and that attack did not affect his soul for the time being.

But if this continues to spread and the numbers increase, he won't be able to handle it.
