The hearts of everyone settled; it was the master (Sect Leader) who made a move.
There was nothing to fear anymore.
Seeing how easily Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao subdued two Celestial Emperor Perfection beings, the disciples of the Xiao Yao Sect felt even more admiration and respect.
It was truly terrifying, capable of covering the sky with one hand and casually suppressing Celestial Emperor Perfection. Is this the gap between a Great Emperor and a Celestial Emperor?
Just one realm apart, yet the gap is so large, like heaven and earth apart!
"Damn, I miscalculated. I didn't expect there to be humans in this world who can master the Soul Dao."
"Hehe, but do you think that's all we can do?"
Black and White Impermanence spoke coldly, and the Ghost Qi on their bodies grew stronger and stronger, bursting forth with full force. Countless Ghost Qi spread out like ghostly hands, trying to lift the Ancient Tower and break free.
As they exerted effort, the Ancient Tower indeed began to rise slightly.
Just as they saw hope, the Soul Dao Power on the Ancient Tower enhanced once more, pressing mightily down, suppressing them once again, leaving them even more embarrassed.
"You've actually reached mastery, how is it possible? How high must the comprehension be to achieve mastery?" Black Impermanence shouted in terror, never expecting the person who suppressed them to have mastered the Soul Dao.
How could it be possible that there are people in this world who have reached the mastery realm of the Dao? Such a person should not exist.
The Dao is not achieved just by having Dao rhythm; it also requires high comprehension. Who is this person, perhaps a reclusive elder who accidentally stumbled upon this place?
"May I know who you are, senior? If we have angered you, we sincerely ask for your forgiveness. In the future, we will repay you generously." Black Impermanence wisely said, believing this mysterious person to be absolutely powerful, perhaps an unmatched Great Emperor, someone who has mastered the Soul Dao to a great extent, whom they cannot challenge.
Moreover, they were using bodies of these ghosts, lacking the ability to contend against him.
Any ghost in the face of Soul Dao is an ant; even if the opponent is a Celestial Emperor, possessing Soul Dao Power can still crush them to death.
Heavens created all things, and all things have their counters, a measure for a measure. No matter how powerful, there will always be a nemesis. This is the balance designed by Heaven and Earth, there is no such thing as truly invincible except for those who can truly escape the restraints of Heaven and Earth and achieve self-fulfillment.
"Come out and speak." The voice in the sky resounded once more.
In an instant, countless purple rays of light descended from the sky, transforming into two giant hands. The Ancient Tower rose slowly, and as Black and White Impermanence revealed expressions of joy, they were suddenly gripped by the giant hands, their expressions turning to terror.
"Senior, what do you plan to do?" Black Impermanence asked in horror.
"Let us go. Our master won't spare you, he is an unparalleled Great Emperor!" White Impermanence did not plead but instead threatened Chen Lan in an attempt to scare him away using their master, the Great Emperor.
"Oh? Is that so?" The voice carried a hint of amusement, and a terrifying aura instantly spread out.
The oppression of the Great Emperor struck towards Black and White Impermanence.
The two ghosts felt this terrifying and familiar oppressive aura and turned pale with fright; this was the aura of the Great Emperor, unmistakenly the same as their master's.
"You're actually also a Great Emperor, how is that possible? The Heaven and Earth Laws here do not allow anyone above an Immortal Emperor, just a century of slumber and a being like you emerges?" White Impermanence was astonished, thinking Chen Lan had grown up here and cultivated to a Great Emperor.
He hadn't considered that a Great Emperor would walk into the Ghost Realm on his own, as this kind of existence would never be randomly picked by the Ghost Realm, nor would they dare to accommodate such a powerful being.
At this moment, the giant hand made a move, forcefully squeezing White Impermanence's Soul Body until it shattered.
Seeing this, the Heaven-Howling Dog's body trembled, wanting to say something, but stopped midway, eventually sighing without speaking.
"You killed him? Weren't you here to save him?" Black Impermanence watched as White Impermanence's soul extinguished, completely dissipating, becoming dumbfounded.
Wasn't this mysterious person here to save these two ghosts?
After all, they were just controlling the ghosts. They had already anticipated that this mysterious person wouldn't kill them, but unexpectedly, without any hesitation, they were killed.
What is happening?
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the giant hand gripping him exerting force, causing his soul to experience immense pain.
"No, you can't kill me. If you kill me, this ghost's soul will also be destroyed."
The next second, he exploded instantly, and Black and White Impermanence perished here.
Seeing this, the Heaven-Howling Dog showed a hint of sadness but said nothing. Chen Lan did what he did for his reasons, and it wouldn't comment.
It was just a bit sad to see familiar faces perish like that.
"Heaven-Howling Dog, come to the Sect Leader's Hall."
At this time, Chen Lan's voice echoed in its mind, causing it to pause briefly, then its face lit up with joy.
Could it be...
Something came to its mind, and it immediately left.
...
Sect Leader's Hall.
The Heaven-Howling Dog appeared out of thin air and immediately saw Chen Lan seated on the main throne, smiling at it. Beside him stood two ghostly figures, Black and White Impermanence!
"I knew it, you didn't kill them. Thank you." The Heaven-Howling Dog smiled gratefully.
"You're welcome, after all, I also want to find out something." Chen Lan smiled.
He had indeed extinguished Black and White Impermanence earlier, but he could restore souls and even allow them to recover their original memories.
Now, Black and White Impermanence's memories were restored, and the soul parasites within them were extinguished; no one would control them anymore.
With a snap of his fingers, Chen Lan brought some clarity to the vacant eyes of Black and White Impermanence. They looked around in confusion at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Soon, they noticed Chen Lan and the Heaven-Howling Dog.
"Are you the black dog from before?" Black Impermanence asked in confusion.
"Where are we? Weren't we just controlled? It's those two damn guys again." White Impermanence said angrily through gritted teeth.
"You have been saved, don't you realize you are free now?" The Heaven-Howling Dog laughed.
Upon hearing this, Black and White Impermanence paused, then hurriedly checked their souls, discovering that the soul parasites were gone, leaving them incredibly relieved, as if a burden had been lifted.
"Indeed, the soul parasite is gone, we are free again!"
"Who, which great power saved us?"
Their words came to an abrupt halt as they both turned to look at the smiling Chen Lan, immediately kneeling and cupping their fists: "Thank you, senior, for saving our lives. We will repay you generously for this kindness."
"No problem. Tell me, if I'm not mistaken, you're from the Profound Dust Realm, and quite possibly from the Underworld, being ghost cultivators. If that's the case, why were you slumbering in the Ghost Realm?"
