**
The void rippled violently.
Endless black mist surged out, rolling and spreading everywhere.
Ning Zun Zhe stood at the center of the black fog, his figure half-hidden within it. A pair of crimson eyes glowed faintly red, fixed on Wei Yang not far ahead.
"Knowing full well that my Hall of Souls has its eyes on you, instead of hiding away in some deep forest or remote mountain to eke out your days, you actually dared to swagger into Central Plains so openly. Even I can't help but admire your courage!"
Wei Yang's expression was cold and indifferent, saying nothing.
Seeing this, Ning Zun Zhe chuckled, shaking his head, his tone carrying a trace of pity as he said, "Young man, your talent isn't bad. At such an age, you've already stepped into the Four-Star Dou Zong level.
That kind of achievement, even here in Central Plains, is considered top tier. Unfortunately, your fate is poor. Because of your connection to Yao Chen, you've caught the eye of my Hall of Souls."
"And coming from the barren Northwestern Region, a mere Jia Ma Empire, you can't even begin to comprehend or imagine the true power of my Hall of Souls!"
Wei Yang still remained silent, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked calmly at the other man.
Even though he was wrapped within the endless black mist, his expression remained utterly calm, as if none of it mattered.
Ning Zun Zhe found himself feeling a little bored.
After all, he had said so much, and yet the other side gave not even the slightest reaction. How dull.
"Hand over Elder Qi Zun. Then obediently follow me back to Hall of Souls. Perhaps… you might still have a sliver of life left."
At those words, Wei Yang finally frowned, glancing at him faintly, his expression as if he were looking at a fool.
"Stubborn to the end." Ning Zun Zhe shook his head.
The Woeful Poison Body could erupt at any time, and he had little time to waste, so he decided to stop talking.
"All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth!"
With a low shout, the surging black fog trembled slightly.
In the next instant, the space covered by the black fog rippled violently. Countless black threads faintly emerged, weaving together, vaguely forming a massive net that spread across heaven and earth. And at this moment, Wei Yang was like prey caught within it.
An invisible pressure instantly bore down on him, even the surrounding air becoming incomparably heavy.
At last, a ripple of expression appeared on his face. His brows arched slightly, as though somewhat surprised.
"Jie jie jie~" Ning Zun Zhe let out a sinister, satisfied laugh, "The reason I wasted so many words on you just now… was simply to ensure everything was foolproof!"
"Now, since you've fallen into the All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth I've specially woven, even with wings, you won't escape."
Wei Yang's face turned cold, a trace of impatience hidden within.
Ning Zun Zhe chuckled darkly, then lightly tapped his foot in the void, causing the space before him to distort rapidly.
At once, the space in front of Wei Yang twisted violently.
Then Ning Zun Zhe's figure suddenly appeared before him, his pale hand—drained of all color—reaching out fiercely to grab him.
Instantly, the space around Wei Yang froze solid, like being sealed in ice, locking him in place. Wei Yang tried moving his arm slightly, but found it extremely difficult to budge.
"Jie jie, junior, accept your fate. No one escapes Hall of Souls once we set our sights on them."
Seeing this, Ning Zun Zhe felt all worries vanish completely.
He had just recently stepped from the peak of Dou Zong into the Dou Zun level, so at first, he had been somewhat cautious of Wei Yang.
After all, even Elder Qi Zun had fallen to him. And peak Dou Zong Protectors had also died at Wei Yang's hands.
Thus, Ning Zun Zhe had always kept a trace of caution, not daring to be careless.
But now…
He realized, perhaps he had overestimated the other?
"Was I being too careful? After all, no matter how strong, he's still just a mere Four-Star Dou Zong."
"The strong ones weren't him, but his subordinates." Such thoughts turned in his mind.
The black mist on Ning Zun Zhe's body slowly receded, revealing a middle-aged man's face, around forty years old, pale and bloodless, filled with sinister malice.
A smile crept onto his face as he stepped lightly through the void, slowly approaching Wei Yang.
Stopping before him, he extended his hand, reaching directly for the crown of Wei Yang's head.
With effort, Wei Yang raised his eyelids, gazing at the hand drawing closer and closer. In his eyes, a faint trace of black flame flickered.
Just as Ning Zun Zhe's hand was about to land upon his head—
Boom!
Suddenly, black flames erupted from Wei Yang's body, surging and burning violently.
As the black flame blazed, an incredibly terrifying heat spread outward. The frozen space instantly began to melt, like snow under the sun.
"What? This is bad!" Ning Zun Zhe's pupils shrank, his heart pounding sharply. Without even thinking, he instinctively tried to retreat.
However—
"Heh?" Wei Yang grinned, "After all that pointless talk?"
His right hand had already slipped out from the wide sleeve of his robe at some unknown moment.
That palm contained ten black suns, slowly rotating in a ring.
An incomparably terrifying aura faintly spread from within.
"Die!"
Not giving his opponent the slightest chance to react, Wei Yang's palm, grasping the ten suns, struck out in a blur—appearing slow yet impossibly fast—leaving behind countless afterimages.
Buzz buzz buzz~
The small circular ring formed by the ten suns shot forth from his palm, spinning wildly as its size expanded rapidly in the wind.
In an instant, under Ning Zun Zhe's terrified and stunned gaze, it enveloped him completely.
Ten black suns hung across the sky, blazing fiercely.
Endless darkness erupted.
Each black sun was roughly the size of a house.
Together, they formed a black circular ring, spinning at high speed, trapping Ning Zun Zhe within—his face filled with fear and disbelief.
As the rotation grew faster and faster, the terrifying heat released became even more overwhelming, until even space itself seemed to boil visibly.
The so-called All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
The vast black mist evaporated completely in moments.
If even the outside world was scorched by such heat, then the condition of Ning Zun Zhe, trapped at the very center of the ten suns, could be imagined.
Heat—unbearably scorching!As if being cast into a furnace of purgatory!This was Ning Zun Zhe's true feeling at this moment.
He felt his body, his Dou Qi, even his very soul, as if about to be burned away.
Chi chi chi~
The black mist shrouding his body visibly thinned and dissipated.
"Damn it!" He frantically mobilized his Dou Qi to resist the terrifying heat while launching a flurry of desperate attacks, hoping to shatter the sun ring and escape.
Yet as wave after wave of dark palm strikes blasted forth—even space itself was shattered, but the spinning ring remained unmoved.
At least, not in the short term.
On the contrary, his attacks only made the ring unstable. As it trembled slightly, the terrifying aura it emitted grew even more terrifying.
The energy… seemed to be turning unstable.
"!!!"
Seeing this, Ning Zun Zhe immediately dared not make any more rash moves.
If this thing truly destabilized and exploded completely, the consequences were unthinkable.
A wave of despair quietly surged in his heart.
So, while straining to withstand the heat, he shouted, "Wei Yang! I know you can hear me! I admit defeat! Let me out! I'll leave immediately and never appear before you again, how about it?"
He paused briefly, then quickly added, "If you don't trust me, I can swear to the heavens, a blood oath! From today onward, I'll never be your enemy again! I can even help you deal with Ice River Valley, and I'll tell you everything about Yao Chen, including where he's being held, what do you say?"
At this moment, surrounded by the overwhelming aura of death, Ning Zun Zhe's survival instinct erupted with full force.
Inwardly, he regretted so deeply his guts were twisting.
Why had he stuck his nose into this mess at all?!
Far off in the distance, Wei Yang stood in the air, his expression cold and indifferent.
Beg for mercy?
What a joke!
"Hall of Souls?"
He slowly raised his hand, pointing toward the unstable ring, and clenched tightly.
"Ten Sun Destruction!"
For a split second, even time itself seemed to halt.
Then—
A massive black flame mushroom cloud silently bloomed upward, evaporating the thick poisonous clouds above in an instant.
Endless dazzling darkness flared, shrouding heaven and earth.
At that moment, the world seemed to fall into a dead silence. As if the greatest sound was no sound at all.
And then—
Rumble rumble rumble~
A thunderous roar finally came belatedly, shaking the heavens and earth.
At the explosion's center, the void visibly collapsed, shattered, and caved in. A massive rift appeared, like a hole torn in the firmament itself, devouring the raging energy.
At the same time, a colossal ring-shaped shockwave blasted outward. Wherever it passed, poison clouds evaporated, the void fractured inch by inch. Immediately behind it, came the overwhelming tide of black flames, sweeping across everything.
Below, the land sank, chasms collapsed into deep abysses.
