Chapter 583 - 485: Twelve Yin Souls (Second Update)
"Boss, what are you talking about?"
The thirty men and women saw Yang Tian murmuring something with a solemn expression, and they all looked over in confusion.
"It's nothing."
Yang Tian shook his head.
At the moment, he didn't pay further attention to the power seal within him.
Instead, he spoke to the men and women inside the stone prison, "Let's get out now. It won't be long before the Martial Guards return."
Upon hearing "Martial Guards," everyone's faces turned pale.
"Go, let's leave now!"
The burly man waved his hand and led the people, following behind Yang Tian, out of the stone prison.
Just as Yang Tian headed towards the stone stairs, the burly man respectfully said, "Boss, we shouldn't take this path; we'll encounter the Martial Guards."
"Is there another way?"
Yang Tian asked.
"Of course, please follow us, Boss!"
The burly man replied respectfully.
Then, he led Yang Tian and the others towards another direction, arriving at a corner. He knocked several times, and the stone wall slowly opened, revealing a passageway.
At that moment, everyone proceeded along this passageway.
It's unclear how long they walked, but they eventually arrived at a stone chamber.
This stone chamber was only about the size of a basketball court.
But in the center of the stone chamber, there was an unusual pattern.
This pattern was a circular array.
On the array, there were twelve array points, each with a different animal on it.
But all these animals appeared very fierce.
Such animals did not exist in the human world; some had three bloody eyes, some had six heads and three arms, obviously unique to the Celestial Demon World.
"What place is this? You Bo, where have you brought us?"
One man asked.
The burly man named You Bo smiled sheepishly and said to Yang Tian, "Boss, I saw the Great Demon King come in here before, and he never came out again. So I figured this must be a way out; otherwise, the Great Demon King would have died here already. He must have used this to escape!"
Yang Tian nodded.
He used his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.
He did not sense any other demonic aura; the Celestial Demon King You Bo mentioned should not be here.
So this should be an exit, but as to where the passage leads, Yang Tian did not know.
He believed You Bo also didn't know.
"Everyone, look around."
Yang Tian instructed lightly.
"Yes!"
The thirty men and women nodded and began to examine the surroundings inside the stone chamber, only to return disappointedly soon after: "Reporting to Boss, we found nothing here except for the pattern in the center!"
Yang Tian looked towards the pattern in the center.
For a moment, he couldn't understand what it was, so he said calmly, "Everyone rest here for a moment; when we came in, the stone wall had already closed. Except for the Great Demon King, no other celestial demon should know about this place. We are safe here, so take the opportunity to rest while I study this pattern!"
"Yes!"
Everyone respectfully nodded and sat down around the stone chamber to rest.
Yang Tian no longer paid attention to them but instead used his Divine Sense to enter the Spiritual Space.
He needed to seize the time to cultivate the second level of the power seal.
Bang!
In the Spiritual Space, Yang Tian condensed the second level of the power seal.
Crackle and pop.
The ten annual rings flew out.
These annual rings emitted a holy light.
This holy light was absorbed from Wu Zetian's body.
"Merge!"
Yang Tian pressed his hand down.
The ten annual rings swiftly flew into the power seal.
Initially, the ten rings circled around the power seal, but Yang Tian drove them with his Divine Sense.
Boom!
A roaring sound echoed.
The ten annual rings were instantly fused into the power seal.
The next second, Yang Tian felt a surge of powerful Spiritual Breath boiling inside him.
A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he quickly entered the Weed Ring.
With a flip of his hand, he unleashed a power seal.
Boom!
The ground in front of him shattered completely, even the air was torn apart, revealing a void inside the Weed Ring.
"I did it!"
Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he had succeeded in cultivating the second level of the power seal.
He fixed his gaze on the power seal and found an array at its center, which had an additional holy light compared to the first level.
This was the second level of the power seal.
Following this, Yang Tian spent some time familiarizing himself with the mastery of the second level of the power seal.
Afterward, he exited the Weed Ring.
When he opened his eyes, he was taken aback.
For some unknown reason, after successfully cultivating the second level of the power seal, he looked at the center of the stone chamber and discovered the pattern had twelve Yin Souls floating on it.
Each Yin Soul was centered on an animal pattern.
The pattern inside this stone chamber had twelve animals, each with a Yin Soul on it.
When he first came here, Yang Tian could not see these Yin Souls.
It was only after successfully cultivating the second level of the power seal that Yang Tian could see them clearly.
Apparently, no one else could see these Yin Souls.
"Boss, when can we leave this place?"
You Bo's voice sounded.
"Soon, don't disturb me!"
Yang Tian waved his hand, signaling You Bo to step aside.
You Bo respectfully bowed and stepped to the side.
Yang Tian focused his Divine Sense, probing the Yin Souls and discovered two Yin Fires within them.
These two Yin Fires were filled with the aura of celestial demons.
Yang Tian stood up and walked to the center of the pattern. As soon as he sat down, the twelve Yin Souls opened their eyes.
A glimmer of doubt flashed in Yang Tian's eyes as he silently observed.
Soon, he noticed the fiery gazes of the Yin Souls were fixed on the surrounding men and women.
Indeed, the intense stares of the twelve Yin Souls lingered on Yang Tian for a moment before shifting to the thirty or so men and women around him.
"Could it be that these Yin Souls are trying to absorb the celestial demon's blood?"
Thinking this, Yang Tian stood up and addressed the group, "We need to leave now. It's not safe here; there is a constant threat of life and death!"
"Is there a threat to our lives?"
Hearing Yang Tian's words, the thirty men and women were shocked.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to scrutinize the twelve Yin Souls and saw that each of their two Yin Fires was burning. Suddenly, he said, "If I'm not wrong, twenty-four of you will die."
"We will lose twenty-four lives?"
Everyone's face changed drastically.
They wanted to ask more, but seeing Yang Tian standing there, silently staring at the twelve animals, they hesitated.
As time went by, a deadly silence pervaded the surroundings.
There was no death as Yang Tian had foretold.
"Could the boss be mistaken? Why would we lose twenty-four lives?"
"This place seems very safe to me!"
"Perhaps the boss is making it up?"
People couldn't help but doubt Yang Tian's words.
But just at this moment, two Yin Fires suddenly appeared in the stone chamber, hurling towards the two men and women at the front.
Crash!
After a booming noise.
The two people let out painful screams, consumed alive by the Yin Fires, leaving no trace of their bodies.
"Oh my God, this is real, people can really die! Just as the boss said, people will die!"
The group's faces changed dramatically.
At this point, Yang Tian could see those two Yin Fires, having absorbed the life force of two celestial demons, returned inside the Yin Souls, which then fully integrated into an animal array point on the pattern.
"If I'm not mistaken, each Yin Soul with two Yin Fires needs to absorb two celestial demons' lives!"
Yang Tian mused to himself.
He continued to study with his Divine Sense but saw that the other eleven Yin Souls remained motionless.
The deadly silence continued to hang over the surroundings.
You Bo saw Yang Tian standing there with a calm demeanor, and couldn't help trembling as he asked, "Boss, you said people would die... and people indeed died... but you also said twenty-four... does it mean another twenty-two must die?"
