Sword Emperor

Its body was like a huge ball of flesh, and if one looked closely, they would find that it was slowly wiggling.    

Whether it was the tentacles around the head or the meatball on its body, one could see endless resentful souls roaring angrily.    

As for this incomparably enormous resentful soul, it was currently waving its ferocious and nauseating tentacles, blocking the movement of the Black Tortoise.    

The strength of the meatball that gathered the endless resentful souls was quite formidable, especially since this place was the Absolute Soul River Bottom. It could be considered their own territory, and the power that it displayed was even more terrifying.    

For a moment, one could only see countless ferocious tentacles waving about, like a net, locking down all space and time in front of them.    

However, the Black Tortoise was not a weakling either. It let out a deep breath, its four limbs and head retracted back into the turtle shell.    

However, the Flying Snake that was wrapped around the turtle shell appeared to be fierce and violent. Its incomparably powerful strength swept out in front of it.    

Even though there was no water in this place, as the Black Tortoise, it could control unimaginable currents no matter where or when.    

The two forces collided in an instant. Under the endless torrent, the tentacle of the resentful soul was instantly broken.    

However, before the Black Tortoise could show any joy on its face, it could see countless resentful souls moving forward one after another.    

The tentacles that had just been broken healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

In the following period of time, the broken and healed tentacles kept repeating.    

Most importantly, the healed tentacles became tougher and tougher. Under the attack of the Black Tortoise, the huge vengeful spirit became stronger and stronger.    

This sudden change made the Black Tortoise's face extremely gloomy. If it was just a strong enemy, it wouldn't be a big deal. Most importantly, it would delay the rescue of Sun Bing.    

Just as it was in a dilemma, the Snow Phoenix suddenly revealed her true body.    

It was a sparkling and translucent phoenix. A bone-piercing chill swept in all directions. The space within a trillion miles was completely frozen.    

Even the endless resentful souls in the Soul-Breaking River turned into ice under the scouring of this power.    

Taking this opportunity, the Black Tortoise directly crossed through layers of obstacles and arrived in front of Sun Bing. A vast amount of energy burst out from its body, directly clearing away all the resentful souls around it.    

Immediately after, the Black Tortoise injected its divine sense into Sun Bing's body, continuously calling out to him.    

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, come back quickly!"    

These few simple words were like a huge bell in Sun Bing's sea of consciousness. They even condensed into incomparably profound Dao words that burst forth in his sea of consciousness.    

It could be said that even if one was trapped in an illusionary realm, one would be able to quickly regain consciousness under this call.    

Regarding this, Sun Bing's face was filled with a bitter smile as he said helplessly:    

"Senior, I'm not trapped in an illusion realm."    

Hearing this, Black Tortoise frowned and his face was full of disbelief.    

"Not trapped in an illusion? Then, why did they push Chi You and the others down the Soul-Breaking River? Why didn't he resist? "    

Sun Bing sighed lightly and explained slowly.    

"As I said before, entering the Soul River is the only way to break out of this predicament."    

"Even if there is a way to break out of this predicament hidden in the Soul-Breaking River, it's time for us to leave now."    

In response, the Black Tortoise shook its head and pointed to its surroundings before speaking again.    

"Right now, our situation is getting worse and worse. We should leave this place as soon as possible. After resting for a while, we can once again explore the Soul-Breaking River!"    

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Tortoise subconsciously circulated his energy and wanted to bring Sun Bing back to Chi You's side.    

However, at this moment, Sun Bing could be seen shaking his head firmly.    

"We don't need to leave at all. Even if we leave, we will still come back."    

Hearing this, Black Tortoise's eyes were filled with doubt. He even thought that Sun Bing had fallen into an illusion and was ready to call out to him.    

But soon, he heard Sun Bing speak.    

"I have thought of it before. In fact, it is not difficult to break through the Soul-Breaking River. In conclusion, you will be born to die.    

There are countless powerful resentful souls at the bottom of the Soul-Breaking River. Even if we go deep into it, there is a risk of us dying.    

It can be said that this is death. However, as long as we can survive that disaster, we will be able to survive."    

After hearing these explanations, even the Black Tortoise did not know what to say at this moment.    

And after such a long period of time, the space and time that was originally sealed by the Snow Phoenix had finally reached its limit.    

One could only hear crisp sounds continuously sounding out. Then, one could see that the ice on the bodies of the many resentful souls had already formed countless ferocious cracks.    

Finally, accompanied by a great momentum, the incomparably huge meatball broke free from the restraints of the ice.    

In an instant, the originally sparkling and translucent scene instantly became incomparably black. Endless resentful souls swarmed forward once again.    

At such a crucial moment, the Black Tortoise's face was filled with hesitation.    

Was it really leaving the Soul-Breaking River? Or was he listening to Sun Bing's instructions to go deeper into the river?    

These two thoughts kept flashing in his mind, and for a moment, he had no idea what to choose.    

Time gradually passed. Chi You and Snow Phoenix were full of anxiety, and they were even urging him.    

"Xuan Wu, hurry up. There's not much time left."    

This voice jolted Xuan Wu back to his senses. In the shortest amount of time, he transmitted Sun Bing's words to the two of them.    

Immediately, Snow Phoenix and Chi You fell into the same dilemma as Black Tortoise.    

However, it was impossible for the resentful souls around to watch Sun Bing and the others safe and sound. Now, they waved their ferocious tentacles again.    

What was different from ordinary vengeful spirits was that the strength of the meatball could really cause some damage to them.    

If the endless Grudge of all living beings were to enter their bodies through those wounds, the consequences would be unimaginable.    

Under the dire situation, Snow Phoenix and Chi You's eyes were finally filled with determination.    

After that, they didn't hesitate at all. However, their bodies sped towards where Sun Bing and Black Tortoise were.    

There was no need to say anything. Just from their actions, they could tell what they were planning to do.    

Sun Bing wasn't surprised by the choice of these people.    

After all, before they became high ranking officials, every single one of them was an expert who had fought their way out from countless corpse mountains and seas of corpses.    

It was just a mere danger, what was there to be afraid of?    

Besides, this place was the only place where the Shamans and Buzhou Mountain could survive. No matter what, they would not give up so easily.    

Even if there were mountains of blades and seas of fire ahead, they would not hesitate to give up everything for this.
