Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

With just one word from Chu Kuangren, Lan Haifang led him to the Blue Ocean Eighteen Hells.

The Yellow Sand Young Master and the others followed.

The Eighteen Hells was built in an abyss located deep inside Blue Ocean Territory.

The abyss was divided into eighteen floors and had countless restricted seals covering its surface to prevent the evil ghouls and dead souls from escaping.

The place reeked of ominous presence and a vicious rage qi.

Ye Luosha and Ye Guiwang had bitter looks on their faces when they arrived, but they did not say anything. They simply kept quiet and followed Chu Kuangren around.

Chu Kuangren stood in front of the Eighteen Hells that extended all the way upward and stared at it. No one knew what was going on in his mind.

The first and the lowest floor contained the most dead souls that had not turned into evil ghouls.

However, they were the ones who suffered the most punishments. Chu Kuangren even spotted some weaker ones disintegrating into dust when being punished.

Wails and screams echoed in the abyss.

Those who managed to endure the punishments were not in a good shape either.

The punishments fueled their rage, turning them into evil ghouls and pushing them toward the next floor for them to fight each other in a battle royale.

When the survivor grew stronger, they would be sent to the next floor and so on.

The highest floor contained the strongest evil ghoul, who reeked of vicious rage qi.

Even Chu Kuangren was confused as to which were the real Eighteen Hells — this one or the one in the Underworld.

"The Blue Ocean Eighteen Hells is really magnificent," Chu Kuangren said.

Lan Haifang wore a proud look on her face as she said, "Of course. The Eighteen Hells is a masterpiece forged by my tribe. It could be said as the most important combat training ground in the entire Soul Restricted Area.

"There have been countless experts who survived the ruthless trials, such as Ye Luosha. He's one of the best ones."

"Yeah. The soul-controlling method of the Blue Ocean is indeed astonishing."

"Yeah. Brother Changkong, did any catch your attention? Pick whichever you like."

Chu Kuangren picked a few from the bunch.

Picking evil ghouls was not his true intention for this trip.

Soon, Lan Haifang ordered her men to release the selected ones, and with a little tinkering with their souls, Chu Kuangren was able to bring them back.

As they left, a streak of light flew out from Chu Kuangren's sleeve and entered the deepest part of the abyss.

It was a talisman, one that was hidden under countless restriction seals!

After Chu Kuangren achieved his goal, he brought the newly-acquired evil ghoul away, but he heard a loud explosion outside.

It was from the outer area of the Soul Restricted Area.

"What happened? What's with the explosion?"

"Someone is trying to enter the Soul Restricted Area!"

The other young masters snickered.

The Soul Restricted Area was one of the most dangerous places in the universe. No one would be insane enough to barge in uninvited.

However, there was no shortage of curious daredevils.

The more dangerous a place was, the more curiosity it would attract.

Even if it was the Restricted Area, it would attract uninvited visitors from time to time.

"Let us see which daredevil is trying to get themselves killed."

The young masters were intrigued and wanted to have a look.

Soon, the group saw the daredevil.

It was a woman in white robes, emanating a holistic and pure Buddhist Light. She was fighting the restriction seals around the Soul Restricted Area.

Even though the woman had quite the cultivation level, her lackluster strength was not enough to break through.

She sustained quite a number of injuries as the battle went on.

"Oh? An Arch Gilded Immortal who is quite capable and bold. No wonder she has the nerves to challenge the restriction seals."

"She seems to be a Buddhist as well."

"A Bodhisattva? Interesting."

The group watched with heightened interest.

Chu Kuangren, however, frowned because he knew the person!

It was Jing Hui!

Why would she come to the Soul Restricted Area? Buddha Yun Lan said that she was on a journey searching for ways to save Shi Ying.

Save Shi Ying? Could she have heard about the Soul Concentration Flower, hence her arrival?

How impulsive was she? A mere Arch Gilded Immortal challenging the restricted seals of the Soul Restricted Area?

It was a suicidal act indeed!

Chu Kuangren subtly shook his head. He did not know whether to call Jing Hui stupid or brave.

Since she had already made it that far, there was no way he could sit back and do nothing.

"I'll go try her out," the Yellow Sand Young Master said with a chuckle.

He performed several hand seals to temporarily remove the restriction seals in the area.

The others did not stop him either. They simply watched as if Jing Hui was an animal trying to break out from her cage.

The Soul Restricted Area rarely had any visitors, let alone a Bodhisattva like Jing Hui.

To them, Jing Hui was simply a toy for them to kill time.

Jing Hui's life was hanging by a thread as she was surrounded by restriction seals.

Just when she thought she would be killed, the restriction seals disappeared, and a group of young men and women appeared before her.

Every single one of them emanated a profound energy presence that was enough to threaten her, especially the one in violet robes.

However, she somehow sensed a strange familiarity from the violet one.

Before she could ponder further, the Yellow Sand Young Master appeared before her and said in a ridiculing tone, "Women, you are out of luck for trespassing here. But if you pledge your loyalty to me, I can spare you."

He noticed Jing Hui's beauty and her holistic presence for being a Buddhist. Somehow, his lust was aroused.

"I'm here for the Soul Concentration Flower and not to start a fight with the Soul Restricted Area," Jing Hui said with furrowed brows.

Chu Kuangren sighed secretly when he heard Jing Hui.

The Yellow Sand Young Master scoffed. "The Soul Concentration Flower is not something you can get easily, but if you make me happy, I can give you one or two."

"I cannot do that."

"In that case, you will suffer the consequences." The Yellow Sand Young Master chuckled before he attacked.

He channeled his soul energy and summoned an invisible sword.

Jing Hui had experience dealing with the folks from the Soul Restricted Area, so she was prepared for that.

She channeled the Restful Mantra to protect her soul and block the attack. The manifested Buddhist Light shot out toward the Yellow Sand Young Master.

"Oh? You're quite capable, I see. You're considered a Prodigy in the outside world."

The Yellow Sand Young Master then channeled his Immortal's core to shatter the Buddhist Light.

The people from the Soul Restricted Area might focus a lot on cultivating the Soul Dao, but they too cultivated the common cultivation.

All the elites in the Soul Restricted Area had a high soul realm and cultivation level.

The Yellow Sand Young Master was also an Arch Gilded Immortal like Jing Hui.

In addition to his advantage in soul techniques, Jing Hui soon fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Die!"

The Yellow Sand Young Master channeled his soul energy to the limit and swung a terrifying soul saber down at Jing Hui, attempting to crush her Restful Mantra's defense.

At that critical moment, a stronger soul energy erupted.

The Yellow Sand Young Master's soul saber disintegrated as it was swung down mid-air.

"Who is it?!"

Yellow Sand Young Master turned around to his group and stared at them fiercely.

Chu Kuangren stepped out slowly.
