Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1055 - 1051: Slaying

Lu Xiwen’s True Words descended, and the gigantic character "King" enveloped everything with an aura of sovereign power, crashing down from the heavens.

Shen Siyuan and his companions felt the surrounding space abruptly solidify, as if encased in millennia-old ice, making even breathing become labored.

An invisible force of suppression formed an impermeable web that bound them tightly, their limbs weighed down as if filled with lead. No matter how they struggled, it was impossible to shake free, like mosquitoes caught in a spider’s web, unable to escape its confines.

But they were never ones to resign themselves to fate.

Shen Siyuan’s eyes flashed with cold light, and the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword in his hand suddenly sank, releasing a powerful magnetic force.

He activated the magic skill, and the Divine Sword instantly connected with the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism. Strands of faint earth-yellow light drew up from the depths of the Netherworld, continually merging into the sword.

The originally dazzling glass-like sword light grew even more brilliant, and the sword vibrated intensely in his palm, emitting a "buzzing" sound. This sound had a strange frequency, acting like an unseen blade, peeling away layers of the Netherworld before Shen Siyuan, like peeling an onion. The dark corrupted soil, congealed frost, and lurking Yin Sha separated layer by layer, revealing the deeper layers of earth below.

Lu Xiwen, facing them directly, was the first to be affected by this primordial magnetic frequency, and the turbulent polluted energy around him was also peeled away, exposing the black air emanating from his Confucian robe.

His expression changed slightly, but he dared not relax even a bit, nor evade. His True Words may have suppressed Shen Siyuan, but this suppression was essentially a stalemate where life and death hung in the balance. If he relaxed even a little, the trembling Divine Sword in Shen Siyuan’s hand would surely shoot forward like an arrow from a bowstring.

The sword’s power was already terrifying before being drawn, causing his Divine Soul to tremble.

If it really pierced through, its destructive force would be earth-shattering.

Fortunately, the Confucian Truth he practiced was also strong, so long as he held firm, it was the opponent who would ultimately be defeated.

Meanwhile, the three little ones were also struggling with all their might.

Though young, they possessed a resilient spirit unwilling to admit defeat, especially Dou Dou and Duoduo, who never thought of compromising with fate even in dire straits.

Duoduo had already transformed into a wisp of bluish smoke, drifting uncertainly in the air — ordinary attacks couldn’t harm her; she was innately invincible.

But now the space had completely frozen, causing her wispy smoke to become fixed in mid-air, unable to move.

Even so, she didn’t give up, trying with all her strength to turn the parasol’s handle in her hand, knowing that if she could make the canopy rotate once, she could tear through the void and escape with everyone.

Under extreme pressure, the blue glow on her soul body intensified, and the canopy actually began to rotate slowly, emitting a faint "crack" sound. Every increment seemed to take immense effort.

Dou Dou’s struggle was fiercer. The scarlet Divine Fire around her suddenly surged, flames rolling like angry waves, licking the surrounding solidified space, slowly twisting it.

Lu Xiwen’s True Words’ suppression gradually lost its effect on the space around her warped by flames. Unfortunately, her Divine Fire had its limits, only allowing her to move within a ten-yard radius, unable to break free completely.

Yet this clever little creature quickly found direction, like a determined hamster, burrowing through the suppressed space, heading outward so she could circle behind Lu Xiwen for a surprise attack.

Her little face reddened with effort, the Divine Fire burned ever brighter, inching towards the edge of the suppression’s range.

Among the three little ones, Xiao Yue’s situation was the most difficult.

Her foundation was the weakest, bearing the greatest suppression power, so tightly fixed that she couldn’t move her fingers.

Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones Bell she held was no ordinary item; sensing its owner’s danger, it automatically emitted clear divine light, protecting her soul body.

Without this divine light, Lu Xiwen’s tyrannical True Words’ pressure would have likely crushed her soul body, erasing it entirely.

The battle stalemate persisted, with victory going to whoever could last longer.

Lu Xiwen was initially confident, but when his peripheral vision caught Dou Dou burrowing like a determined hamster, edging ever closer to the suppression’s boundary, his heart tightened. This little girl’s Divine Fire countered his polluted energy; if she broke free, she’d be a grave threat.

He instinctively diverted some attention to monitor Dou Dou, causing the fluctuating polluted energy around him to momentarily waver.

Shen Siyuan seized this brief flaw tightly.

In an instant, a dazzling golden sun rose violently from behind Shen Siyuan’s head, radiating light like a blazing sun descending upon the earth, illuminating the dark Netherworld with a whiteness.

The golden sunlight, with the power to purify all evil, enveloped Lu Xiwen directly.

"Ah~"

Lu Xiwen let out a heartrending scream, as the polluted energy surrounding him rapidly dissolved under the sunlight, like snow meeting the scorching sun, melting at a visible speed.

Yet, being the polluted Netherworld, there’s no shortage of polluted energy; it quickly replenished, returning to a stalemate.

Shen Siyuan’s assault didn’t stop there. He began to chant softly, his clear voice carrying the indisputable solemnity of the Great Way: "The sun is suspended, the earth carries all phenomena, stars shift, and energies devour the Great Wilderness!"

As his words fell, the sun behind his head trembled sharply, projecting a golden beam of light.

This beam, pure and unmatched, was thousands of times more overpowering than the previous sunlight, making earlier Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism or dazzling sunlight seem dim before it, as glow-worms before a bright moon.

Where the golden beam passed, it achieved true dissolution of everything.

The corrupted soil of the Netherworld, buried bones, scattered sands, even the chilling air and polluted energy, including Lu Xiwen standing opposite, vanished silently under the glow.

The scene resembled a brush scraping across a Netherworld painting, removing part of the image completely without leaving a trace.

With Lu Xiwen’s demise, the oppressive force from his True Words dissipated instantly.

Shen Siyuan exhaled a long breath, with the sun behind him slowly receding, leaving a copper mirror in his hand.

It turned out the sun behind him was merely a projection formed by his practice of the "Sun Observation Method."

But because this surge of suppression abruptly vanished, the three little ones overshot their efforts.

Duoduo vanished into thin air, Dou Dou became a stream of light disappearing into the sky.

Even Xiao Yue, accompanied by urgent chimes, dashed forward, fortunately caught by Shen Siyuan.

At that moment, Duoduo and Dou Dou returned, reappearing behind Shen Siyuan.

The wind of the Netherworld blew once more, carrying the familiar chill, yet the air pollution had lessened considerably.

The trail carved by the golden beam left a pure white void, extraordinarily striking in the dark Netherworld.

"Huh?"

Just then, Dou Dou seemed to notice something, darting forward like a rabbit.
