"What the hell is this Douluo Continent thing?"
After the priest entered the fog-locked bewildering array, he was fine at first. But when he discovered that his divine sense could not even perceive three meters in front of him, and that his eyes had almost instantly lost all perception, he completely lost the chance to get out.
He initially thought this fog was just a minor trick.
Even though he is blind and his spiritual power cannot reach very far, he is not the kind of Soul Master who cannot fly.
But after flying into the sky for a long time, he was still surrounded by black mist, and nothing had changed. He began to panic.
"That's impossible. I could easily leap over that small area of fog. How could I have flown for so long and still not be out of the fog's range?"
Each time the Soul Palace is upgraded, the various formations it contains will also be improved accordingly.
The Fog-Locking Bewitching Array doesn't just cover a small area. Entering the array is like a mayfly falling into a vast ocean; trying to break free on your own is not so easy.
After flying up, down, left, and right for a while, the priest completely lost his composure and started cursing.
Especially when his divine power began to dissipate more as he flew higher, he could no longer hold on.
"If I can't fly out, I'll fight my way out."
Divine power surged, flames flew everywhere, and he wanted to burn away the fog that was trapping him.
The initial effect was indeed quite good; at least, the mist in a large area around him was completely burned away under the cover of his flames.
Just when the priest thought he could escape using this method, the area his flames couldn't reach remained shrouded in mist.
Moreover, as he moved, the fog showed no sign of completely dissipating; aside from increasing his visibility, it had virtually no other effect.
As he recklessly used his divine power, the rate at which his divine power dissipated accelerated, while the rate of recovery was alarmingly slow. With his income insufficient to cover his expenditure, he even felt somewhat exhausted.
"What kind of place is this? It's one thing for the Spirit Hall to be so powerful, but why is there such a strange fog around it? Is this still a lower realm of the God Realm?"
The priest sat on the ground in a sorry state. After the flames dissipated, the mist once again enveloped him completely, without a single gap.
He simply couldn't understand why such strange things would exist in a lower realm. His descent to the lower realm this time had utterly disgraced the priests.
If it weren't for the desire to maintain a dignified and cautious demeanor, the priest would have loved to burst into tears.
Unbeknownst to him, his every action was observed by Xiao Mu and the others.
"I don't know whether to call this guy brave or ignorant. He hasn't even heard of the power of the Fog Locking Bewildering Array outside the Soul Palace, yet he still dares to barge in. I've never seen anyone this stupid before," Zhan Kaishan mocked.
"However, this person's strength is indeed extraordinary. His flames are definitely superior to all... no, except for the Palace Master, they are definitely superior to all fire-attribute soul masters in the Douluo Continent."
Qian Qiusui added a sentence as well.
"Moreover, the power he possesses surpasses soul power, reaching another level."
While attaining enlightenment, Qian Qiusui was also changing the nature of his power through enlightenment.
Although progress is not significant, his perception of higher-level forces has become much more acute.
"What's stronger than soul power?"
Yang Ziqi asked.
"Divine power, this person is using divine power."
Xiao Mu had come into contact with the divine power of the Fire God, and his own soul power had also been sublimated into divine power. Apart from the quantity, his power level was similar to that of this priest.
"Divine power? There are actually Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent who possess divine power?"
This was the first time Qian Qiusui had ever witnessed such a thing, whether in his past life or this one.
He's already ninety-nine years old and still hasn't been able to directly sublimate his soul power, yet this clumsy guy can actually do it?
While the others were gossiping and mocking the priest, the ghost laughed along for a while, but then he felt a sense of familiarity.
Watching the priest struggle in the mist, he suddenly recalled his own helpless and comical actions after he unluckyly stumbled into the fog-locked bewildering array. This strong sense of empathy made the ghost want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Damn it, I think I acted much like this idiot back then.
"Old Ghost, look how ridiculous this guy is. Is he about to cry?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was unaware of his old friend's past experiences and even reminded Ghost to look into the priest's eyes.
Ghost glanced at it uncomfortably, thinking to himself that he hadn't been this embarrassed before. Although he had been a little flustered, he hadn't been this ridiculous.
After discovering that this person possessed divine power, Xiao Mu began to speculate about his origins.
When he seized the Fire God Sword, he felt that the divine realm, or rather the Fire God, would not turn a blind eye and allow the divine artifact to disappear.
If I'm not mistaken, this person should be from the realm of gods.
The sudden appearance of the divine beings before him didn't cause Xiao Mu much panic.
After the Soul Palace is upgraded to level four, let alone a mere priest, even if a first-level god, a second-level god, or even a god-king descends, the Soul Palace will have the power to protect itself.
Xiao Mu was simply curious as to why this person would directly approach the Soul Palace. He believed he had handled the situation cleanly and should not have been discovered.
Could it be that there are other methods beyond the artifact that he has not yet discovered?
Xiao Mu planned to capture this person alive. A priest still had some value. Whether he was taken in as a dog or sent into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as a friend, it was a good choice.
"Lord, why don't you let me test his strength?"
Both Qiu Tian and Qian Qiu Sui were curious about the priest's strength. Being able to fight against an enemy with divine power might be beneficial for them to enhance their own power.
"The Lord is about to make a move."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was still reminding Ghost, who was behaving rather coldly.
Ghostly eyelids twitched.
When he was trapped in the Fog-Locking Bewildering Array and thought he had found a way out, the Thunderfire Prison Array appeared.
Faced with the choice between complete annihilation and joining the Soul Hall, he decisively chose to join the Soul Hall, thus embarking on the bright path of serving the Soul Hall like a slave.
Looking at the priest, he always had the mindset of someone who had been through it all.
As someone who's been there, brother, let me give you some advice: give up struggling. The more you struggle, the more ridiculous you become. Save yourself some dignity.
The priest, nearly in despair within the fog-shrouded maze, suddenly sensed a spatial fluctuation.
He immediately perked up. He wasn't afraid of the enemy appearing; he was afraid of being trapped in this damned fog forever.
Come on, whoever you are, fight me fair and square, instead of all you know how to do is use these underhanded tricks.
Then, he was enveloped by spatial fluctuations, which led him out of the Fog Locking Bewildering Array and directly into the Soul Palace Small World.
When he could see and sense the situation around him again, he saw a burly man in black armor appear before him.
"Who are you..."
Before he could ask who the man was, the burly man in black armor roared.
"war!"
