Huo Laoban’s Soul Armament was an eye, an eye the size of an adult’s head.
This eye was grayish-white, appearing like a stone eye. Its eyelids were closed, not yet open, and a dense Yin Qi continuously emanated from it, giving off a feeling that was both mysterious and eerie.
Soul Armaments of Underworld Officials generally fell into three major categories: offensive Soul Armaments, defensive Soul Armaments, and special-type Soul Armaments. Just from its appearance, it was impossible to determine which category Huo Laoban’s Soul Armament belonged to.
The Black-Clothed Man's gaze fell upon Huo Laoban’s Soul Armament. No panic showed on his face, but a touch of vigilance stirred within him. The Spirit Power that Huo Laoban unleashed at this moment was simply too formidable, so whether this Soul Armament was offensive, defensive, or special, it boded ill for him.
Everyone else present also ceased their attacks, their gazes, without exception, turning to the Soul Armament Huo Laoban had summoned.
Some were bewildered, some were shocked, but Huo Laoban’s Demon Hunter friend reacted entirely differently. He wore a smile, a look of anticipation on his face, as if waiting for a good show.
“With the Soul Armament unleashed, this battle is all but over,” the portly middle-aged man said, gently fanning himself with his folding fan, a smile on his face, his tone resolute.
“You should have opened your Heaven Soul much earlier. That way, you wouldn’t have been beaten like a dog just now, hehe,” the Black-Clothed Man said with a laugh.
As he spoke, the Black-Clothed Man swiftly formed hand seals, seemingly preparing a powerful Spiritual Art.
Originally, Huo Laoban had intended to complete tonight’s operation without opening his Heaven Soul. However, after clashing with the Black-Clothed Man, he was surprised to discover that the Black-Clothed Man’s strength was far greater than he had imagined. Without opening his Heaven Soul, he was no match for the Black-Clothed Man at all. Not to mention simultaneously fighting the Black-Clothed Man and his Guardian Spirit, even against the Black-Clothed Man alone, he had been constantly suppressed. Not only had he failed to kill the Black-Clothed Man, but he had also nearly died at his hands several times.
Facing such a disadvantage, Huo Laoban naturally had no choice but to alter his initial plan, resolving to open his Heaven Soul and fight the Black-Clothed Man with his true strength.
Listening to the Black-Clothed Man’s mockery and watching him swiftly form hand seals, Huo Laoban’s smile remained unchanged. But then, the Soul Armament beside him opened its eye.
Aside from the Spirit Masters protected by a barrier on the high platform, all Spirit Masters and ghosts present trembled slightly. Then, to their astonished expressions, their physical bodies and spirit bodies began to petrify, little by little, by a strange, inexplicable force.
The Black-Clothed Man, of course, was no exception. His feet had already turned into hard rock, the petrification spreading upwards from below. However, due to his formidable strength, the process of petrification was exceptionally slow.
Not only him, but his Guardian Spirit’s strength was also terrifyingly powerful, so its petrification process was equally slow. However, the other Spirit Masters present did not possess the same level of strength as these two. Their petrification speed was much faster; the weaker they were, the quicker they turned to stone.
The weakest Spirit Masters didn’t even have time to react before their bodies were completely petrified into stone statues. Their Guardian Spirits, naturally, were not spared either; their petrified spirit bodies plummeted from the sky, shattering into countless pieces of varying sizes, meeting the fate of Soul Transformation.
This scene terrified the Spirit Masters present. Those whose bodies hadn't completely petrified quickly mobilized the Communication Power within them to resist the eerie petrification force enveloping them.
Huo Laoban’s five invited helpers, with the exception of the portly middle-aged man, were equally astonished by the sight before them. Yet, despite their inner shock, their actions were anything but slow. All five seized this opportunity to launch attacks on their respective targets.
Screams rang out one after another, as several Spirit Masters lost their lives under this onslaught. Their bodies currently undergoing petrification, how could they possibly withstand the five individuals’ ferocious assault?
Their deaths were gruesome. The petrified parts of their bodies shattered into countless pieces, indistinguishable from ordinary rock, while the unpetrified areas spewed fresh blood, staining the ground crimson.
“For tonight’s operation, I originally didn’t intend to invite any helpers, because I felt it was entirely unnecessary. Now it seems, it truly was unnecessary,” Huo Laoban said with a smile to the Black-Clothed Man in front of him, amidst the Spirit Masters’ agonizing screams.
The Black-Clothed Man was still forming hand seals, and Huo Laoban watched it all unfold, yet he showed no intention of stopping him. Instead, a look of keen interest crossed his face as he observed the Black-Clothed Man’s feet slowly petrify upwards.
Before opening his Heaven Soul, had Huo Laoban uttered such words, he would undoubtedly have been mocked by the Black-Clothed Man, and his invited helpers would have deemed him utterly arrogant.
But now, the Black-Clothed Man offered no ridicule, nor did any of the invited helpers present consider him arrogant. Only the haughty female Talisman Master felt a touch of displeasure, yet even she had to concede that at this moment, Huo Laoban indeed had the right to speak such words.
“The game isn’t over until we leave the table. Who knows who’ll win or lose? ” the Black-Clothed Man said with a smile. As his words echoed, the hand seals he was forming suddenly ceased.
“Spiritual Secret Art: Soul Fusion! ”
Two powerful surges of energy simultaneously erupted from the Black-Clothed Man and the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
The Black-Clothed Man’s petrified feet shattered, but this fracturing only affected the outer layer of his feet, not his entire lower limbs. The petrified parts of the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit also fragmented. Amidst a series of cracking sounds, stone fragments flew, and both the Black-Clothed Man and the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit saw the petrified parts of their bodies return to normal.
At that moment, the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit transformed into a ball of Yin Qi and merged into the Black-Clothed Man’s physical body.
The instant the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit integrated into the Black-Clothed Man’s body, the power emanating from him surged maniacally once more. The sunglasses on his face could not withstand such violent power and exploded with a resounding boom.
His face continuously shifted, sometimes his own features, sometimes those of the Blood-Clad Evil Spirit. Ultimately, due to the extreme speed, his entire face became blurred and indistinct, making it impossible to discern his true appearance.
“Heh heh, this is getting more and more interesting. With your current power, you are qualified to witness the true might of my Petrification Eye. ”
Huo Laoban offered a faint smile. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the stone eye beside him actually reflected the Black-Clothed Man’s shadow.
Originally, the Black-Clothed Man’s body had returned to normal, the petrification power enveloping him having been dispersed. But now, his body was once again shrouded by the power of petrification, and this force was even more intense than before, causing his body to re-petrify, with the speed of petrification several times faster than before.
In merely the space of a single breath, the Black-Clothed Man’s movements froze, his entire body transforming into a stone statue—a statue with an indistinct, blurred face.
The reason Huo Laoban’s Petrification Eye hadn’t unleashed such terrifying power before was that he hadn’t activated it to its utmost potential. Furthermore, by simultaneously using the petrification power on all the Spirit Masters present, the force had been somewhat dispersed, which was why the Black-Clothed Man hadn’t been affected as severely as he was now.
Now, with the Black-Clothed Man as his sole target and the intensity of the petrification power amplified, the effect naturally created a stark contrast to before.
Gazing at the stone statue that the Black-Clothed Man’s physical body had become, the smile on Huo Laoban’s face deepened by several shades.
“Your strength is quite good, but it’s all over now. ”
As his words fell, Huo Laoban slowly raised his right hand. Dense Yin Qi billowed from his entire arm, and in his palm, a fist-sized ball of Spirit Power condensed.
This ball of Spirit Power was not large, yet its energy fluctuations were incredibly potent. It was clear at a glance that it had been formed by compressing a vast amount of Spirit Power; thus, despite its small size, its destructive force was immense.
With a wave of his hand, the Spirit Power shot forth, hurtling towards the Black-Clothed Man, who had been turned into a stone statue.
Boom!
The Spirit Power struck the Black-Clothed Man, erupting in a tremendous explosion. The deafening roar shook the very ground violently, especially in the epicenter of the blast, where cracks appeared on the surface, unable to withstand such terrifying power.
A vast cloud of dust and dense Yin Qi enveloped the area where the Black-Clothed Man stood. Although the interior was obscured, Huo Laoban believed the Black-Clothed Man must have been reduced to stone fragments by his attack. Underworld Night God
