Soul-Capturing Pearl!
A particularly vicious magical artifact in the martial arts world, similar to the Soul-Capturing Banner.
It can not only devour the souls of living beings, but also allow these souls to devour and merge with each other, thereby enhancing their power.
That's not even the scariest part.
What's even more frightening is...
Once a soul becomes the master soul of the Soul-Absorbing Pearl, it will suffer endless torment within the pearl and will never be able to escape.
and.
The main soul will be completely controlled by the owner of the Soul-Capturing Pearl, including thoughts, actions, and even life and death.
It's hard to die even if you want to.
Having worked undercover for so many years, Shan Yu certainly understood the terrifying power of the Soul-Seizing Pearl.
In a sense.
Just like his secret technique for controlling others, the Soul-Capturing Pearl will completely expose all of one's secrets once enslaved.
Therefore.
The instant I saw the Soul-Capturing Pearl.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shan Yu was about to self-destruct his divine consciousness, unwilling to give Lu Tao any chance to control him.
Buzz!
His consciousness trembled.
From the inside out, the powerful force of the self-destruction spreads outwards, and it's about to explode...
But suddenly—
"town!"
A soft shout came from Lu Tao's mouth.
In an instant.
The divine consciousness that was about to explode was instantly calmed down by this shout, like a raging fire being slapped down.
This left Shan Yu stunned.
No matter how hard he tried to make his divine sense explode.
That inexplicable force constantly suppressed his consciousness, keeping it in a state of silence.
"No!"
Dan Yu was terrified.
He knew all too well the consequences of being enslaved.
and.
The Soul-Capturing Beads are not only enslaved, but also suffer endless torment.
How could he possibly want this?
But--
Faced with Lu Tao's methods, he had no way to self-destruct.
Seeing Lu Tao rushing towards him, Shan Yu instinctively wanted to fight back and attacked Lu Tao.
To his surprise...
The divine consciousness, which could not self-destruct, was actually able to control the body to unleash martial arts techniques.
This made Shan Yu realize that Lu Tao's martial arts technique seemed to be able to suppress the self-destruction of the divine consciousness, but could not control other aspects of the divine consciousness.
Dan Yu decisively unleashed his martial arts skills, thrusting his sword towards his own head in an attempt to destroy his own consciousness.
That's not all.
In order to achieve the goal.
Shan Yu also controlled three other Martial King clones to rush towards Lu Tao and self-destruct, trying to stop Lu Tao's movement, even if only for a moment.
pity--
Lu Tao was too fast.
Especially when Shan Yu's consciousness was suppressed, the moment he was slightly stunned, the time that wasted was enough for Lu Tao to close the distance.
laugh!
Lu Tao rushed to Shan Yu in an instant and struck down with his palm.
A powerful palm strike descended, like a mountain pressing down, landing on Shan Yu and instantly suppressing the already severely injured and dying man.
All their actions were interrupted.
Shan Yu.
He was like a toad, slammed into the air by Lu Tao's palm.
then.
Lu Tao clenched his fist, and the shadow of his palm grabbed Shan Yu, rendering him unable to move.
at the same time.
Lu Tao used his divine sense to give a light shout to the other three Martial King clones, easily stopping them from self-destructing.
All of these actions happened in an instant.
"Shan Yu, even God doesn't want you to die so easily."
Looking at Shan Yu, Lu Tao sighed.
Both the Soul-Capturing Pearl and the Heavenly-Rank cultivation technique that can prevent others' divine senses from self-destructing were obtained by Lu Tao after entering the Divine Platform Secret Realm.
Without these two things, he would have no chance of capturing Shan Yu alive.
puff!
Lu Tao clenched his fist tightly, and Shan Yu's physical body shattered within the palm shadow, leaving only his divine consciousness.
"receive!"
Lu Tao aimed the Soul-Capturing Pearl at Shan Yu's consciousness. Amidst Shan Yu's fearful and desperate expression, the Soul-Capturing Pearl emitted a powerful suction force.
The divine sense, already severely injured by Lu Tao, was utterly unable to withstand the slightest resistance.
It was directly absorbed by the Soul-Absorbing Pearl.
"ah……"
The moment he was sucked into the Soul-Capturing Pearl, a series of burning, tearing, and biting forces acted on Shan Yu's soul.
This caused Shan Yu's consciousness to constantly change form, suffering endless torment.
Its piercing screams were incredibly tragic.
The smell of it makes one's scalp tingle.
This is indeed a very vicious and malevolent artifact.
The Soul-Capturing Pearl is made of special materials, including not only various resentful energies and malevolent energies, but also various kinds of strong winds and strange fires.
It can torment the soul without destroying it.
You can't even die if you want to.
"Ah...let me die, kill me!"
Hearing Shan Yu's pitiful screams of begging for mercy, Lu Tao was slightly moved.
This Soul-Capturing Pearl truly lives up to its reputation as a demonic artifact.
But Lu Tao was merely moved; he wouldn't actually kill Shan Yu.
"Shut up!"
Lu Tao snorted coldly, and Shan Yu's divine sense was immediately unable to transmit any fluctuations. It just twisted and turned inside the Soul-Seizing Pearl, emitting a silent scream.
"Release the three from their enslavement and control."
Holding the Soul-Capturing Pearl, Lu Tao gave instructions to Shan Yu.
Dan Yu had long since lost his human form, turning into a cloud of gray mist within the Soul-Seizing Pearl. From within the gray mist came Dan Yu's trembling voice, "This method of enslavement was not created by me, and I cannot undo it."
Lu Tao remained calm upon hearing this.
Shan Yu had previously stated that this secret technique was not his own creation, and that Shan Yu was unable to break free from the enslavement control. Lu Tao was not surprised; he was just giving it a try.
Then, Lu Tao asked, "Did the method of enslavement originate from overseas, or from the demon race? You must have been controlled as well, right?"
"Yes, I was enslaved too."
Shan Yu replied, "The enslavement technique comes from overseas; it's a secret method for controlling demonic beasts."
At this moment, Shan Yu answered whatever was asked, completely under Lu Tao's control.
Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "Tell me in detail about your dealings with the overseas regions and the demon races."
"Yes, Master."
Shan Yu's voice was very respectful.
Controlled by the Soul-Seizing Pearl, he was now Lu Tao's servant and had no way to resist.
"Thirty years ago..."
Shan Yu slowly began to recount what happened thirty years ago—
Thirty years ago.
The sudden appearance of the Divine Platform Secret Realm within the territory of Da Gan has brought great joy to Da Gan, but has also caused great concern among neighboring countries and the outer seas.
Especially overseas.
They knew that as long as the Divine Platform Secret Realm existed, if Da Gan were allowed to develop for a period of time, Da Gan would not only dominate the land, but also expand its ambitions and set its sights overseas.
I'm afraid that by then, it will be another demon or monster.
to this end.
Overseas forces have been constantly causing trouble for Da Gan. Whether it's King Wu or God Wu, they frequently provoke Da Gan in the Outer Heavens.
They even engage in battles with Da Gan for no apparent reason.
On the surface, the constant conflicts between overseas and Da Gan attract the attention of Da Gan's Martial King and Martial God.
secretly.
Overseas, the plan is to infiltrate Da Gan, gather details about the Divine Platform Secret Realm, and at the same time, find a way to infiltrate the Divine Platform Secret Realm, steal it, or destroy it.
It's just that things are very complicated overseas.
The overseas portion is mainly divided into two parts.
One group consists of sea monsters, and the other group consists of humans.
Sea creatures are not so easily able to infiltrate and wreak havoc.
As for the overseas humans, they are quite different from the inland humans. It is quite difficult for them to infiltrate silently and gain anything.
Therefore.
They contacted Shan Yu overseas.
The two parties quickly reached an agreement and began cooperation.
However, during the cooperation, the overseas side used a trick to control Shan Yu through enslavement.
and.
Overseas, the ancient barbarian kingdom was used as a threat to make Shan Yu obedient and not allow him to use any underhanded tactics.
then.
And so, more than twenty years ago, under the control of overseas forces, Shan Yu infiltrated Da Gan...
