Finally, after a long contemplation, Chu Yang decided to give up.
As the Sword Spirit said, the treasures here were undoubtedly important. If he could acquire them, it would bring unprecedented great benefits. However, the risks involved were equally immense. Once those powerful ghostly creatures were released, the destruction they would cause was something he absolutely could not endure!
At that time, it could potentially lead to a scenario of thousands of miles of floating corpses and the suffering of living beings.
Chu Yang did not want such a result to appear due to his actions.
Previously, Chu Yang had contemplated whether to use this place to attract heroes from all over the world and then profit from their efforts. But now it seemed that this plan would have to be abandoned; the risks were simply too great, and he did not have the qualifications to reap the benefits...
Sighing, Chu Yang said, “Since the consequences are so severe, it would be better not to utilize this place…”
The Sword Spirit breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, yes, it’s better not to utilize this place.”
Chu Yang nodded and said, “In that case, let’s be good people and set up some illusionary formations around this Soul Suppressing Stone. On one hand, it will ensure that it won’t be discovered by others, as the risk of releasing those terrifying creatures is still considerable! On the other hand, we can come back to claim this ruin once our strength is sufficient…”
Heaven have mercy, the Sword Master Lord finally changed his mind. Although his heart was still restless, as long as it wasn’t activated immediately, everything was negotiable... A huge stone in the Sword Spirit's heart finally fell to the ground.
However, at that moment, a sudden event left the Sword Spirit feeling as if it had fallen into an ice cave!
Brother Tiger squatted there, trembling all over, and suddenly—“Bang!” Brother Tiger let out a fart that could shake the heavens!
Then he leapt up, shouting, “It was close!”
Using his own energy to resist the chilling power below, he initially had the upper hand. But as the cold aura below sensed his suppression, it also felt that there was a connection to the outside world here, continuously gathering strength, with its might gradually increasing, as if it were endless and unceasing.
Eventually, the momentum was like ten thousand horses galloping, gathering from all directions beneath the ground.
As it gathered more and more, it became increasingly powerful.
Although Brother Tiger had great strength, there were still limits, especially since his injuries had not yet fully healed. Despite struggling for a moment longer, he finally reached a point where he could no longer suppress it.
So he let out a fart and quickly jumped away; if he continued to force it, he would be completely backlashed by that chilling aura.
Just as he was about to speak, he unexpectedly saw Chu Yang and the Sword Spirit both staring wide-eyed in shock, following their gaze to the Soul Suppressing Stone.
Brother Tiger looked over and couldn't help but let out a cry.
It turned out that there was dense black energy gradually spreading there, and this time, there was an additional faint red power entangled within...
Brother Tiger recognized at a glance that the faint red power was clearly his own strength.
The two powers swirled and entangled around the Soul Suppressing Stone.
“Quick, draw back the power! Delay will cause changes!” Chu Yang shouted in a low voice.
Brother Tiger hurriedly responded, “Okay.”
Before the word “okay” even finished, a very slight yet clear sound suddenly rang out.
“Crack!”
The originally smooth surface of the Soul Suppressing Stone began to crack open at a visible speed, revealing a thin seam. Following that, a series of very subtle yet soul-shocking sounds began to emerge...
“Pip pip pip~~~”
The two massive powers continued to clash on the Soul Suppressing Stone, one yin and one yang.
Finally, the Soul Suppressing Stone shattered!
