Lu Li went out and took the token of the Blood Emperor from the warrior. Lu Li’s ring glowed as he took out his token of the Blood Emperor. He compared the two tokens. They were identical.

Can I ask your relationship with the Blood Emperor?

Lu Li looked at the old warrior with curiosity and said with respect. Lu Li had never met the Blood Emperor, but the latter had offered much help. On many occasions, Lu Li had to borrow the name of the Blood Emperor. Though Lu Li never formally acknowledged the Blood Emperor as his master, he had always been grateful and respectful to the Blood Emperor.

I am a servant of the Blood Emperor!

The warrior was at the peak of the Semi-God Realm but, he talked with respect. He even bowed to Lu Li.
Lord Lu, the Blood Emperor said he wanted to take you as his protégé back in the days. The god of destiny makes fools of the people. Now, he is not qualified to become your master any more. Even so, he admires you. He believes you can be good friends despite the great difference in age.



The Deaf Taoist nodded in agreement. Lu Li was his master now, and Lu Li was stronger than the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo. Of course, the Blood Emperor did not have the right to take Lu Li as a protégé.
After a pause, the Deaf Taoist decided he had to say some words of praise to the Blood Emperor.
That Blood warrior is perceptive. Well… as a matter of fact, it is an insult that the Blood Emperor can only rank No. 3 among the Purgatory’s Top 10. His real strength should be the strongest. That I can tell.

Lu Li had to respond to the fact that the Blood Emperor thought highly of him.
I am grateful to the Blood Emperor. Please pass on my appreciation. Later, I will pay a visit to the Blood Emperor in person.

The old warrior took out a map and said,
The Lord said that Blazing Huo should be hiding in this area. This is his base. There are naturally formed formations here. Lord Lu, be careful.

The old warrior must be hundreds of years older than Lu Li, but he addressed the latter as Lord Lu. Lu Li did not feel uncomfortable. Lord indicated respect. Anyone could address others with stronger abilities as lord.

He must have gone through a small world!

The Deaf Taoist replied,
I heard that there is a small world connected to the Prison of Darkness and the Prison of Soul. But I don’t know its exact location. Blazing Huo is smart. He has escaped to the Prison of Soul. If it were not for the message sent by the Blood Emperor, we would still be here waiting. We might think of searching the small worlds that were connected with the Prison of Darkness, but we would never realize that he has gone to the Prison of Soul.


Let’s go!

The Blood Emperor would not lie. Lu Li charged toward the towering mountain without hesitation. But the Deaf Taoist stopped him.
Lord, the Prison of Soul is dangerous. There are many powerful Beasts of Primordial Chaos there, but the most dangerous of all is the constant soul attack. Well… lord, you have the Enchanted Soul, so you should not be afraid. But you can never be too careful. There are places that even I don’t have the courage to go or my soul will be crushed.


I know. You can lead the way, and I will follow you.



Lu Li nodded solemnly. The silver dragon did not mean that he could be safe from all soul attacks. It was said that warriors under the peak of Semi-God Realm would most certainly die when they entered the Prison of Soul. Very few warriors at the peak of Semi-God Realm would dare to go either. Those that could cultivate here must be very strong, or at least… in their souls.
Prison of Soul was the ninth level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. After this, it would be the Prison of Thunder. That was a path leading to the heavens. Needless to say, the Prison of Thunder was dangerous, and the Prison of Soul was not that safe either.
Lu Li followed the Deaf Taoist up the towering mountain. As soon as they entered the Prison of Soul, it became lighter. Lu Li could not stand the glare since he traveled to such a bright place from that darkness. He closed his eyes in a hurry.

Buzzing!

The Wicked Bead glowed. Lu Li went inside and said,
Deaf Taoist, lead the way. We know where Blazing Huo is, so there is no need to rush. Safety first.

The Wicked Bead was a strong Relic. Lu Li didn’t have to worry about the attacks from the outside. Even soul attacks could not reach the people inside. Therefore, Lu Li didn’t have to worry about the safety of Lu Renhuang, Patriarch Ye and He Yue.

Okay!

The Deaf Taoist did not change to an orc and did not speed up. Following the map offered by the Blood Emperor, he flew to the left. He kept using psychic power to check just in case.
Lu Li sent out his psychic power as well and realized that it was not limited here. The Prison of Soul was said to be a scary place. That being said, the view was quite beautiful. Picturesque scenery was seen everywhere in a place of warmth. Xuan Qi was profound here, times richer than that in the Prison of Wood and Prison of Water.

I didn’t see anything dangerous.



Lu Li wondered. He had been on the way for several miles. All Lu Li could see was flourishing forests, beautiful rivers, and green mountains. There were some small animals. Up to now, nothing spoke of danger to Lu Li.

Phew, phew~

All of a sudden, there came a puff of wind. When the Deaf Taoist sensed it, he flew to the left quickly. He went down the mountain and sat down with his eyes closed.

Whoosh!

Lu Li flew down the Wicked Bead at once and hid next to the Deaf Taoist. As the gale was blowing, the Deaf Taoist seemed to be in pain. After the wind passed, the Deaf Taoist opened his eyes; his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Is that also Feather Wind. Is there soul attack in there?

Lu Li did not suffer any strikes since he was in the Wicked Bead which did not sustain any harm at all. He had to ask out of curiosity.

That is the Ghastly Wind!

The Deaf Taoist explained.
When the Ghastly Wind blows over, anyone will descend into a horrifying illusion, something like the underworld and hell. The ones without a strong soul will be driven crazy at once. That Ghastly Wind is common in the Prison of Soul. The stronger Ghastly Wind may have Soul Biting Ants inside. Those ants do not have a tangible body, and they can infiltrate warriors’ souls directly to swallow… their souls.


Eh!



Lu Li was taken aback. How horrible the Soul Biting Ants were to eat souls directly! Nothing was more important to warriors than their souls. Once their souls were lost, not even gods could save them.
The Deaf Taoist rested for a while and flew on. In an hour, Lu Li witnessed something quite sexual—he saw a full-grown lady running around naked…
That lady did not seem to be aged. She must have reached a high realm at a young age. That or a recipe for eternal youth, her body did not age and her grace was retained even though she was not young.
She was completely naked. She was running around the mountain. Every now and then, she would jump into a river and laugh. Sometimes, she would roll around on the grass, and her actions could be shameful.

She has lost her mind!

The Deaf Taoist threw a few glances and said to Lu Li,
It is not uncommon to run into lunatics in the Prison of Soul. Many people, when their souls are hurt, will become clouded in mind. There is something else that is unique to the Prison of Soul. The Beasts of Primordial Chaos do not attack lunatics which is why they can survive. Year in, year out, there are over a hundred lunatics in the Prison of Soul…


Over a hundred?

Lu Li touched his nose in shock. The Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was connected to the Divinity. Every warrior wanted to change their fate and ascend to the Divinity. However, this path was filled with risks, and one careless action could be the start of eternal doom.
One step could be the making of either an immortal or a demon. There was only a small gap in between.
