Yue, the Mountain Dragon King passing by, glanced at the scene in the alley, feeling somewhat surprised.
His voice broke the tense atmosphere in the alley.
A dragon soul slowly drifted into the alley entrance; his dragon eyes circled the phantom of the Titan Giant Ape before scanning those clawing shadow arms.
Yue, who had successfully left the Dragon Valley, was in a great mood. Although he had been forgotten by Arthur, Gu Yue, and the others again, it didn't matter.
Yue began his journey across the Star Luo Continent alone.
Arriving in this city, the development of human society opened his eyes.
Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but offer guidance: "The Titan Giant Ape isn't used like that."
"The title 'Son of the Earth' is not just a title."
"What's the use of using brute force alone to blast these shadows? You must feel the earth beneath your feet carefully and try to borrow power from it."
The Evil Soul Master stared intently at this strange existence before him; he had never seen such a thing.
Yuanen Yehui was completely bewildered. She couldn't understand what this person was babbling about.
"So slow-witted." Seeing the young girl's confused expression, Yue recalled the scene in the Dragon Valley where Arthur controlled the earth at will to bury dragon bones.
He couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, that kid Arthur is an outlier even in the outside world."
Yuanen Yehui understood this time: "You know Arthur? Is he nearby? Quick, contact him to come save me!"
Yue also understood: "So you're one of our own?"
After thinking for a moment, he sensed the Titan Giant Ape Spirit Bone inside Yuanen Yehui: "Then I shall save you."
In an instant, Yuanen Yehui felt a strange power spreading from her arm's Spirit Bone, causing her to lose control of her body.
This power was gentle yet irresistible, spreading along Yuanen Yehui's arm Spirit Bone to her entire body.
The wrists and ankles that were originally bound by the shadow arms suddenly felt light, and those cold, slimy sensations quickly receded.
Her body uncontrollably raised both hands, the light of the battle armor on her fists surged, and her Soul Power was no longer a violent collision but seeped into the stone slabs beneath her feet like a stream.
"The power of the earth is not for reckless force, but for assimilation and suppression," Yue's voice drifted over lightly, carrying a bit of old-fashioned guidance. "The Titan Giant Ape shares the same origin as the earth. You stubbornly treated it as a tool for brute force. How laughable and ignorant."
The moment his words fell, dense earthy-yellow patterns suddenly lit up on the ground beneath Yuanen Yehui's feet. These patterns spread like a spiderweb, and wherever they passed, the churning black-red mist seemed frozen in place, its fluctuations becoming extremely slow.
Even more bizarrely, those shadow arms that tried to reform after collapsing would lose all power the moment they touched the earthy-yellow patterns, dissipating into wisps of black smoke, unable to take shape again.
The Evil Soul Master lost his previous composure and asked in alarm, "What is this?!"
Refusing to believe it, he pushed his Soul Power, his dark green core throbbing frantically in an attempt to break free from the suppression. However, those earthy-yellow patterns were like maggots on a bone, locking down his Soul Power so tightly that even mobilizing it became difficult.
Yuanen Yehui's body was still controlled by that power. She could clearly feel as if an unprecedented connection had been established between her and the earth beneath her feet.
The earth's heaviness, majesty, and endless vitality all flooded into her mind, instantly raising her understanding of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul to a new level.
"Alright, now it's time to counterattack."
The next second, Yuanen Yehui's body suddenly spun around, and she slammed both fists into the ground.
"Boom—!"
With a dull, massive roar, the entire alley trembled. A huge earthy-yellow pillar of light shot up from the fist prints, containing an unparalleled earthly pressure within the light.
The black-red mist that was still struggling evaporated instantly under the radiance of the light pillar.
"Hmph." The Evil Soul Master snorted coldly, his Two-Word Battle Armor instantly covering his body, and seven spirit rings appeared behind him.
A Spirit Saint plus Two-Word Battle Armor.
Looking at the battle armor on her opponent, Yuanen Yehui felt no fear now; the earth gave her courage: "Senior, what should we do next?"
"This is tricky. Let's run."
Yuanen Yehui: "?"
Where did that Aura from just now go?
Yue hadn't expected the opponent to also have that kind of magical armor. He didn't know much about things like battle armor and initially thought the opponent was just an ordinary Spirit Saint.
And he was just a remnant soul. Helping Arthur attack the Wind Dragon King earlier had already consumed a lot of energy; there was no need to work himself to death again.
Seeing Yue's tone suddenly deflate, the veins on Yuanen Yehui's forehead throbbed. Was this guy's commanding Aura just now all an act?
Just as she was about to complain, a series of hurried footsteps came from the alley entrance, accompanied by Xu Xiaoyan's crisp shout: "Yuan En! I'm here to help you!"
Before her voice had even faded, a star-blue light pierced through the ink-black night like a meteor. Xu Xiaoyan rushed in holding her star staff, the light at the head of the staff shining brightly, locking directly onto the Evil Soul Master.
"Star Wheel Chain!"
With a light flick of Xu Xiaoyan's wrist, several star-blue chains shot out like Martial Soul snakes, accurately Binding the Evil Soul Master's limbs.
Absolute power swirled around these chains. The Evil Soul Master felt unable to move, and even the light on his Two-Word Battle Armor dimmed for a moment.
"What is this thing again!" The Evil Soul Master roared, his Soul Power exploding in an attempt to shatter the Star Wheel Chain.
But Xu Xiaoyan's control Spirit Ability was centered on absolute success; even if he was a Spirit Saint with Two-Word Battle Armor, he couldn't break free for a moment.
Xu Xiaoyan took the opportunity to run to Yuanen Yehui's side and grabbed her: "Go, run while we can!"
Yuanen Yehui didn't hesitate; she knew Xu Xiaoyan was nearby.
When the competition ended and everyone went their separate ways to travel the Star Luo Continent...
For some reason, Xu Xiaoyan had been pestering her, constantly muttering about forming an alliance or something.
She had even followed her all the way to Xingye City and couldn't be shaken off.
Yue also reacted and shouted to Yuanen Yehui: "Grab onto me!"
When it came to escaping, he had plenty of methods; otherwise, how would a remnant soul dare to wander around everywhere?
An earthy-yellow light flashed around him, and a gentle force enveloped both Yuanen Yehui and Xu Xiaoyan.
At the same time, the Evil Soul Master finally broke free from the Star Wheel Chain. He roared and swung his scythe, and a black-red blade light carrying world-destroying power slashed toward them.
"Want to run? Stay right here!"
The blade light tore through the air, and just as it was about to hit the backs of the three, Yue suddenly stopped.
Xu Xiaoyan was almost scared to tears: "Go! Why did you stop?!"
Yue ignored her and muttered in slight doubt, "Little sister? No, Arthur."
In an instant, a beam of light appeared between the three and the Evil Soul Master at some unknown point.
It was a clear blue-gold beam of light, silently spanning the center of the alley like a boundary separating light and darkness.
