Northern Region, Heaven and Earth Abyss.
A huge Hall of Souls branch hall was built here.
Because it was built relatively recently, it looked very new from the outside.
It didn't have the long historical aura of those Hall of Souls in the Western Region.
The Venerate guarding this hall was a Heaven Venerate level figure, titled "Yin Yang Heaven Venerate".
In the boundless Central Plains continent, there have been too many brilliant and talented powerhouses, and Yin Yang Heaven Venerate was one of the many carps crossing the river.
Before he became famous, he was a direct disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, mastering the sect's core cultivation method "Yin Yang Infinite Art".
As a genius of the Yin Yang Sect, he lived up to expectations, breaking through to the Dou Venerate realm at just over two hundred years old, shocking the surrounding sects.
You know, among Dou Venerate powerhouses with a thousand-year lifespan, breaking through at two hundred years old is equivalent to twenty years old for ordinary people.
Possessing supreme strength that others envy at twenty years old can be said to have stepped into the peak of life early.
Unfortunately, after a hundred years of cultivation, this genius of the Yin Yang Sect deeply felt the limits of his talent.
After breaking through to Five-Star Dou Venerate, further progress might not happen even in ten or decades.
He sought pills and visited secret realms, but still couldn't find the opportunity to advance further.
So, at a subtle juncture, the Hall of Souls approached him, and he readily agreed.
Looking at the major forces in the Central Plains, although there were many sects more famous than the Yin Yang Sect, having reached the Five-Star Dou Venerate realm, he naturally wouldn't condescend to join the Two Sects or Three Valleys.
Originally, the Sky Profound Sect might have been a place to go, but a few years ago, the Sky Profound Sect was suspected of being attacked by a supreme mighty figure, so their arrogance subsided a lot, and they dared not expand outward anymore. Recruitment of honorary elders was also shelved.
Seeing that they had lost their sharpness, Yin Yang Heaven Venerate did not choose to go.
So, the Hall of Souls became the most suitable choice for him.
The secret methods, precious medicines, and opportunities of the Hall of Souls, all made him feel that the road ahead was hopeful.
And the fact was just so. Within two years of joining the Hall of Souls, he successfully broke through the threshold and advanced to Six-Star Dou Venerate.
Although a Six-Star Dou Venerate was nothing among the many experts of the Hall of Souls, some of the experts who joined the Hall of Souls in the same batch as him had already reached High-Level Dou Venerate. Even peak Dou Venerates entering the nine-change saint-becoming stage were not non-existent.
Only then did Yin Yang Heaven Venerate know that there were so many hidden experts in the Central Plains.
As the leading major force in the Central Plains, the Hall of Souls was so huge that he couldn't imagine.
A force qualified to recruit peak Dou Venerates, the Hall Master must be a Half-Saint or even a Dou Saint powerhouse!
This further strengthened Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's determination to take root in the Hall of Souls.
Even if his task was to harvest the souls of those with powerful soul talents, requiring him to kill many geniuses, Yin Yang Heaven Venerate didn't care at all.
There are plenty of people and geniuses on the Dou Qi Continent; how many can he kill alone?
He only cares about the quota of soul bodies handed over each time!
Only more outstanding soul bodies can allow him to get merit points from the Hall of Souls, thereby exchanging for secret methods and precious medicines unavailable outside!
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate frowned looking at the quota of soul bodies sent by his subordinates this time.
"Why so few?"
"Heaven Venerate, recently every family has been strictly guarded. It is really difficult for our people to find opportunities to attack those geniuses."
"Hmph, create opportunities if there are none! Have you forgotten all the methods the Hall of Souls taught you?"
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate scolded.
Feeling the powerful pressure released by his superior, a drop of cold sweat seeped from the reporting subordinate's forehead.
"Yes! Heaven Venerate, we will go arrange it right away!"
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate sat back on the main seat.
"By the way, what is the situation in the Northwest Continent?"
Not long ago, their Northern Region Hall of Souls branch organized a joint operation to harvest the Northwest Continent together.
That remote and desolate Northwest Continent, although trash, has a large population.
Making up for quality with quantity, even if the quality of soul bodies is not high, it is enough for them to make a big profit.
"Mobilization has already begun. Wars have broken out everywhere, and our people are harvesting soul bodies with all their might. The first batch of harvest should be delivered in a few days!"
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, signaling the subordinate to withdraw.
In the empty hall, Yin Yang Heaven Venerate sat quietly in his seat, thinking about something unknown, a smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate became instantly alert, stood up directly, and scanned the surroundings.
"Who is it?!"
Han Feng walked slowly out of the darkness, his face wearing a mysterious mask, emitting an ancient and profound aura.
"Playing tricks!"
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate narrowed his eyes, extended his large hand, Yin Yang laws flowing, sealing the surrounding space, grabbing towards Han Feng.
Boom!
Huge energy oscillated, but at the struck location, there was no shadow of Han Feng.
Missing a hit, Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's pupils shrank suddenly.
A dragon-shaped tail shadow flew in mid-air, and in the next instant, Han Feng appeared in front of Yin Yang Heaven Venerate.
"Nice Yin Yang laws, what a pity."
Han Feng raised his palm, pinched a dragon claw shape, and clawed out!
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate turned pale with fright, quickly constructing Yin Yang laws to block in front of his chest.
Yin Yang laws, one black and one white, formed a black and white millstone, guarding in front of Yin Yang Heaven Venerate.
However, the azure dragon claw actually ignored the defense of the Yin Yang laws directly and blasted into Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's body instantly.
Crack!
Behind him in the Hall of Souls main hall, a long gap was directly clawed out on the beam.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's body trembled violently, then raised an incredulous expression, looking at Han Feng.
"You..."
Under that blow just now, all internal organs in Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's body were torn apart, leaving no vitality.
In the current situation, don't look at his appearance being intact, but inside is already a mess. Even taking pills won't help.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate exhausted the last trace of strength, threw his soul body out of the body, and flew towards the hole in the roof.
However, in the next second, a black sword pierced through his soul.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate looked blankly at his pierced soul body, then let out a shrill scream and disappeared between heaven and earth.
At this time, the people outside the hall had discovered something wrong and gathered towards the hall in a dark mass.
"Heaven Venerate, what happ..."
The subordinate who came to inquire just now happened to see Yin Yang Heaven Venerate killed by Han Feng's hand, and he froze on the spot.
Han Feng's cold gaze looked over.
"Leave no one alive."
Puppets flew out from the void one by one, surrounding the entire Hall of Souls.
Han Feng stood quietly in the Hall of Souls main hall.
A moment later, the killing sounds outside quieted down.
A blood-bathed puppet walked into the main hall and reported the battle results to Han Feng.
All the people of the Hall of Souls in this branch hall had been executed.
Han Feng nodded and stepped high into the sky.
He looked at the Hall of Souls branch hall below and raised his palm.
"Azure Dragon Seal!"
Boom!
A heavy palm print, containing Azure Dragon true meaning, slapped down with a bang.
The originally complete Hall of Souls branch hall was instantly patted into powder at this moment, leaving only a deep palm print.
...
In the following three days, Han Feng took action again and destroyed several Hall of Souls branches.
At this time, even if the reaction of the Hall of Souls was slow, they should have discovered the clues.
Northern Region Heaven and Earth Abyss, a dark rift tore open in the sky, and a slightly hunched figure stepped out from it.
This person looked at the place below which was originally the station of the Hall of Souls, turned into ruins, and uncontrollable anger emanated from his eyes.
"Soul Execution Division! Definitely the Soul Execution Division!"
Hall of Souls Second Heaven Venerate, Gu You, let out a roar that made this world tremble.
A dignified High-Level Half-Saint, back then actually watched helplessly as the leader of the Soul Execution Division escaped and was severely played by him.
This humiliation, Gu You will never forget in his life!
He once vowed to shatter the other party into pieces.
Unfortunately, since that great war, the Soul Execution Division seemed to have disappeared in the Central Plains, leaving no traces at all.
Now that the Soul Execution Division has taken action again, the time has finally come.
"I will definitely find you!"
Gu You's eyes released chilling coldness.
...
On the other side, Han Feng led people to attack the Northwest Continent.
But at the same time, he also asked Yao Xiaotian to lead a team to the Western Region of the Central Plains, taking action again to break through several branch halls, to use as a distraction.
Since this great war has started, it cannot stop so easily; otherwise, the implication would be too obvious.
And Han Feng doesn't mind the Hall of Souls settling accounts with him.
On the contrary, he is happy to oblige.
On the vast sky of the Northwest Continent, a huge treasure ship of the Soul Execution Division ran amok.
Following the route investigated before, every time they passed a place where the Hall of Souls appeared, Han Feng sent people down to harvest.
The strength of the Hall of Souls in the Northwest Continent is relatively weak, so Han Feng didn't need to take action at all; the puppets themselves could complete the task excellently.
Han Feng sat on the deck, looking at the "Yin Yang Infinite Art" in his hand.
Although Yin Yang Heaven Venerate had left the Yin Yang Sect for many years, his storage ring preserved many things related to the Yin Yang Sect.
Han Feng had some impression of the Yin Yang Sect force. It was just a small sect without particularly powerful influence.
Although he didn't know why the Yin Yang Sect, clearly having produced a powerful Venerate like Yin Yang Heaven Venerate, still maintained its original scale, incomparable even to the Four Pavilions, this had nothing to do with Han Feng.
There are so many hidden powerhouses in the Central Plains, but not every one likes to manage forces.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate is a typical example. He felt that supporting the development of the Yin Yang Sect was too slow, so he might as well look for a powerful force to rely on.
The development of his own strength was the primary factor Yin Yang Heaven Venerate valued.
Han Feng flipped through Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's storage ring casually. Suddenly, he found a strangely shaped black and white millstone.
With a thought, the black and white millstone appeared in Han Feng's hand.
He remembered that the move Yin Yang Heaven Venerate used to block his attack before dying condensed the shape of this millstone.
"Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Great Millstone."
Han Feng looked at the mysterious characters engraved on the black and white millstone and read in a low voice.
The spiritual energy revealed on this object is very rich; it's a treasure.
Yin Yang Heaven Venerate being able to comprehend Yin Yang laws to a high-level level must also be because of this object.
Actually, the move the other party displayed at the end could deflect force with force and return force with force. If encountering an opponent of the same level, it could return the move completely, with a very powerful effect.
Unfortunately, Han Feng's realm far surpassed his, directly exceeding the limit the Yin Yang Millstone could twist, so he could ignore the Yin Yang laws and blast the other party to death.
Han Feng briefly comprehended the law power carried by this treasure and found that his attainment in Yin Yang laws improved visibly.
Although Han Feng does not major in the Yin Yang Grand Dao, Yin Yang laws are the most mysterious and profound among the laws of heaven and earth.
If cultivated to the later stage, the strength will definitely be in the first echelon among powerhouses of the same level.
Unfortunately, comprehending the Yin Yang Grand Dao is very slow, and it is very difficult to cultivate to a profound level.
Han Feng had comprehended Yin Yang laws before because there would be corresponding law evolution in the Mountain and River Map.
But the effect was minimal, and he didn't pay much attention.
Getting the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Great Millstone this time, initial comprehension directly brought him from not initiated to the initiated ranks. Han Feng was still very pleasantly surprised in his heart.
He is a Dou Saint powerhouse himself, and the efficiency of comprehending other laws gets twice the result with half the effort, but being able to initiate in one day is definitely not easy.
Don't know where Yin Yang Heaven Venerate got this treasure.
With a thought from Han Feng, he moved Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's soul out of the space.
Previously, he used the Supreme Soul Slaughtering Sword to kill Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's soul, so at this time, the soul had lost its autonomous spirituality and was very rigid.
Han Feng reached out and carefully searched Yin Yang Heaven Venerate's soul memory, successfully getting the answer he wanted.
"Actually obtained in the Eastern Region Battlefield."
The Eastern Region Battlefield is an extremely special place in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains.
It does not belong to a regular region but is a place for various clans to train soldiers and fight.
The Black Submerged Army of the Gu Clan often faces enemies on the battlefield to cultivate killing intent.
Obviously, various clans also know that if the clan disciples live too comfortably, they will regress. Only by staying alert at all times and having enemies to defeat will they hone their skills assiduously.
"It seems I have to visit the Eastern Region Battlefield later."
Han Feng thought in his heart.
A place where such a treasure can be obtained must be extraordinary; maybe there are other opportunities hidden.
The Soul Execution Division troops continued to advance, exterminating all Hall of Souls forces encountered.
Several days later, the puppets handed over all the collected soul bodies to Han Feng.
Han Feng activated the "Bodhisattva Sutra", purifying all these soul bodies, and did not extract their soul origin.
Although with so many soul bodies, if absorbed directly with Heavenly Dao Soul Swallowing, Han Feng's soul cultivation would definitely improve, at least speeding up the time to enter the Perfect Heaven State, he didn't have the slightest hesitation.
Han Feng sighed gently.
So many soul bodies; how many people died in this large-scale war?
Although at least seventy percent of the Hall of Souls in the Northwest Continent has been killed, and the remaining ones have all shrunk back.
But war is not so easy to stop.
Once the horn of war is blown, it is not something bystanders can control.
Even an emperor of a country has to consider various factors.
To make the Northwest Continent return to a period of peace and stability, it will probably take several years.
