Chapter 206 The Evil Closed Loop (1/2)

Yan Yu tightened his arms around Ruan Tang's waist suddenly.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

The surrounding air was instantly sucked out.

Instead, there was a sticky, foul, putrid stench.

Ruan Tang quickly shut down her five senses, opened her eyes, and found herself and Yan Yu at the end of a long, desolate street.

At the other end of the street is the Edo Shrine for Summoning Souls.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary shrine, but there are no insects chirping or lush plants around it.

This place is fundamentally different from other temples and shrines I've visited before; it's like a dead zone.

Even with her five senses shut down, Ruan Tang could still feel the stickiness and malice in the surrounding air.

Her throat tightened, and an uncontrollable wave of nausea surged up from her stomach, causing her to gag.

Yan Yu tightened his arms around her, pulling her even closer into his embrace.

His broad, warm palm rested on her lower back, and his pure spiritual energy silently transferred a sense of reassurance through his palm.

Ruan Tang suppressed the nausea that rushed to her head, leaned into his arms, and closed her eyes.

Her consciousness sank into the ground, following the texture of the earth's veins, and quietly slipped into the foundation of that building complex.

The scene underground sent a chill down her spine.

Beneath the layers of concealment lies a massive array woven from countless twisted souls and malevolent incantations.

At the center of the formation was a living creature.

The living creature, covered in lumps, was trapped in the center of the formation and slowly writhed. With each throbbing, it emitted an evil aura capable of freezing the soul.

Surrounding the tumor were concentric rings of black mist, forming a vortex that stretched downwards into the ground.

Countless souls, radiating overwhelming malice and evil thoughts, were pulled in from all directions by a tyrannical force.

The moment the soul touched the vortex, it was torn apart and crushed by that immense power.

All humanity, memories, and emotions were burned away in an instant, leaving only the purest and most vicious crystallization of resentment, which turned into black sand and fell down in a rustling sound.

The black "gravel" fell one after another, gathering into a river.

Two torrents of polluted earth energy were forcibly poured into the core.

One of them was a piece of golden earth energy stolen from the Yan Kingdom. After being filtered through multiple layers, it had turned from its original golden color into a dull gray.

The other is the earth energy that gathers from various nodes in the Sakura Kingdom, as black as ink, constantly churning and carrying specks of the power of faith.

At the core where the two forces of earth energy converge, hundreds of twisted souls dressed in ancient hunting robes or armor floated.

These souls include not only the "ancestors" of the Yin-Yang family, but also war criminals full of sins, and even more heinous evil spirits.

They are greedily devouring the two energy rivers, while continuously releasing purer and more malevolent curse power, which in turn nourishes the entire formation.

Ruan Tang's consciousness continued to descend.

Deeper into the vortex, she “saw” a separate lake of blood.

The blood-red lake water was viscous like paste, churning with countless tormented, lingering souls.

Hundreds of enormous soul shadows, each radiating immense power, were "soaking" in the blood lake. Their brows were respectively marked with a pentagram, a bellflower seal, and a third-tier rhombus...

As they continue to devour, the soul becomes more solidified to the naked eye.

The scene before her eyes sent chills down Ruan Tang's spine.

brute!

They are actually using stolen national fortune to create an evil god!

We can't wait any longer!
