Soundproof and soul-locking, light-proof and energy-sealing, this room was specially used to interrogate prisoners, purify souls, and suppress evil spirits. The atmosphere was gloomy and tense, with evil energy lingering, making people shudder.
In the center of the hall stood a natural black stone platform, covering an area of ten zhang square. The platform is extremely hard, resistant to pressure, fire and erosion.
The surface of the table was covered in multi-layered carvings of ancient top-grade soul refining array patterns. The patterns are subtle and difficult to understand, but they reinforce each other in a closed circle. Its power far exceeds the lower version of Sixteenth Heaven, doubling its killing power.
Along the four sides of the stone platform, eight tall and sturdy stone pillars, all black in color, stood in a neat row to suppress the evil spirits.
The stone pillars were rooted in the ground and connected to the spiritual energy of the earth veins. Under each stone pillar, a Gold Immortal expert from the Heavenly Palace was already sitting cross-legged.
The eight Golden Immortals exuded a calm aura and solemn expressions, their spiritual power ready to be released, their cultivation levels arranged in stages.
They ranged from Golden Immortal Rank 1 to Golden Immortal Rank 2, and were all core fighters of the Heavenly Pole Palace. They were stationed in the palace all year round and were skilled in combined formations and divine soul refining.
The Heavenly Venerate stepped into the core position right in front of the stone platform, his posture straight and his aura dominating the entire area. The Soul Suppressing Pearl floated quietly in the center of the stone platform, its spiritual light restrained and unmoving.
Crimson Flame Venerable and Cold Abyss Venerable stood on both sides, holding their breaths and waiting quietly, their eyes fixed on the Soul Suppressing Pearl, hoping they could work together to break through the barrier and seize the treasure.
“Daoist brothers, there is no need to hold back your origins. Muster all your strength, activate the grand formation, and refine your divine souls!” Venerable Tianji ordered in a deep voice and authoritative tone.
As soon as those words were spoken, all eight Gold Immortals opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes sharp. They raised their hands in unison to form hand seals, drawing upon their own primordial spiritual power and pouring it completely into the Soul Suppressing Stone Pillar beneath them without hesitation.
Buzzing-!
In an instant, the eight stone pillars simultaneously lit up with dense golden spiritual light. The spiritual light spread rapidly along the array pattern on the platform, like a long golden river, instantly covering the entire stone platform, forming a closed circle, and the large array was instantly activated.
A moment later, flames suddenly rose from the stone platform, blazing fiercely, but without a trace of smoke.
This fire is not an ordinary fire, nor is it an ordinary spiritual fire. Instead, it was a high-grade colorless soul refining flame that was extremely pure and infused with the fundamental laws of a Gold Immortal.
The flame was almost transparent, shapeless and intangible, but its temperature was extremely terrifying, enough to distort the surrounding void space, scorch the souls of Gold Immortals, and melt high-grade spiritual treasures.
Ordinary spirits would instantly dissolve and disappear upon contact, without having time to resist.
The Heavenly Venerate raised his hand and pointed, sending a burst of sharp golden fingers that struck the outer layer of the Soul Suppressing Pearl with pinpoint accuracy.
With a soft sound, the hard and durable outer shell of the Soul Suppressing Pearl instantly melted and disappeared, and the cage was completely released.
David’s purple divine soul light was completely exposed to the colorless sea of soul refining flames, directly facing the excruciating pain of being burned.
Fierce flames, layered upon layers, as extreme heat and sharp laws simultaneously struck the area.
David’s purple soul shook violently and swayed, its purple light flickering, as if it would melt and be torn apart by the sea of fire in the next second. The situation seemed very precarious and heartbreaking.
At that critical moment, a warm and eternal golden light suddenly shone from the depths of his soul.
The Great Luo Golden Scripture immediately reacted, automatically protecting its master. The thick golden light instantly spread out, firmly enveloping the entire purple divine soul, forming an indestructible golden barrier that completely isolated all the colorless soul-refining flames.
The powerful waves of soul-refining flames hit the golden barrier again and again, like huge waves hitting an ancient coral reef. Its power was terrifying, but it was completely unable to shake the barrier.
When the fire collided with the golden light, it shattered into pieces, annihilated, and vanished without leaving a trace, let alone harming the soul within.
With one Gold Immortal leading the operation, eight Gold Immortals providing full support, and the nine strongest Gold Immortals working together to completely activate the ancient Soul Refining Array, this terrifying combat power was enough to easily refine the souls of peak-level Gold Immortals and wipe out all the forces in the Sixteen Heavens.
However at this moment, faced with just a sliver of true immortal soul and a layer of golden shield, they were completely helpless and their efforts were in vain.
