"Ah!"

"Ah..."

With each successive scream from Jiang Chen, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His entire body began to tremble, and his face twisted in pain. His cries grew increasingly more like those of an injured beast, filled with desolation and sorrow!

The crowd couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away, while the female Supreme beings, including Supreme Phoenix Luan, shed tears!

Thud!

After a while, a muffled sound rang out, and the crowd hurriedly looked up.

The illusory figure above Jiang Chen had already returned to his body. Jiang Chen now lay on the ground, his face deathly pale, and his entire body drenched in cold sweat!

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Yan Hu and his companion exclaimed, leaping to Jiang Chen's side and helping him sit up.

"I...I...I understand now! After a short rest, we can begin!"

Jiang Chen weakly instructed Zhou Wanchen, then closed his eyes while leaning against Yan Hu.

Zhou Wanchen looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Everyone fell silent, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes filled with admiration.

In this world, who else would willingly endure such soul pain for a stranger?

No one!

Only Jiang Chen!

A steadfast reverence welled up in everyone's hearts!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Gradually, an ancient aura began to rise from Jiang Chen, growing stronger by the moment. Soon, it reached its peak and then vanished in an instant.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and stood up from Yan Hu's embrace.

"You all should step back; there might be some commotion soon!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Yan Hu and his companion looked at Jiang Chen with concern, their mouths opening but not knowing what to say.

"I know what you want to say, don't worry, I won't foolishly attempt such a thing again! Jiang Wuqing really is a ruthless person to come up with such methods!" Jiang Chen said with a trace of lingering fear in his eyes, shaking his head.

Yan Hu and his companion nodded, leaping away from Jiang Chen's side. Several people, including Tai Shang Emperor, timely withdrew their oppressive aura. After leaving, Yan Hu and his companion directly mobilized Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, controlling the area within a hundred meters around Jiang Chen.

The formal process was about to begin. Having witnessed Jiang Chen's desperate efforts earlier, Tai Shang Emperor and the others truly didn't know what would happen next, remaining fully alert to any potential occurrences.

Phew!

Letting out a long breath, Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Wanchen and softly instructed:

"Elder Zhou, in a moment, I will pull the chains inside you directly out, it will be extremely painful, you'll need to endure it, and you must not resist at all, otherwise it might harm your soul origin!"

"Alright! Mr. Jiang, go ahead! Whether you succeed or fail, you are someone I, Zhou Wanchen, owe my life to!" Zhou Wanchen nodded heavily.

"Elder Zhou, let's talk about this after we've unraveled the Divine Lock Chain!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Buzz buzz buzz!

With a solemn expression, Jiang Chen's majesty surged up, and a tricolor glow reappeared.

"Descending Divine Dragon!"

A low shout rang out as a golden and a blood-red Divine Dragon silhouette emerged behind Jiang Chen!

"This..."

Tai Shang Emperor looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, recalling the scene where Jiang Chen had helped him heal his Soul Devour wound, he mumbled lightly, "Is it like this again?"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Before Tai Shang Emperor's words had fully fallen, a mysterious fluctuation spread out, and everyone widened their eyes, showing a hint of astonishment.

A visible thread of Soul Power emerged from Jiang Chen's brow, and the tricolor glow immediately clung to the substantive-like Soul Power.

As soon as the Soul Power appeared, it shot straight towards Zhou Wanchen's forehead, and simultaneously, Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice: "Do not resist!"

Reacting reflexively to mobilize his Soul Power to resist, Zhou Wanchen shivered at the words and forcefully suppressed the automatic protective Soul Power.

"What is he doing? How can he gather such a formidable Soul Power? Just how strong is his Soul Strength?" Supreme Long Huang raised three questions in succession.

Tai Shang Emperor and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes, but none of them answered Supreme Long Huang's questions.

Supreme Long Huang wasn't really seeking an answer; he knew Soul Strength was one of a martial artist's most crucial secrets.

He asked only out of sheer awe at Jiang Chen's display, unable to restrain himself. Jiang Chen's currently gathered Soul Power was already stronger than his own!

Buzz!

The space in front of Zhou Wanchen trembled as Jiang Chen's Soul Power pierced into the space between Zhou Wanchen's brows!

"Uh, uh, uh... Ah!"

A surge of soul-tearing pain swept over, Zhou Wanchen tried to endure it several times but eventually couldn't hold back, crying out in pain.

Swish swish swish!

Suddenly, the Divine Lock Chain that pierced through Zhou Wanchen's head began to slowly move, gradually pulling outward.

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene, raising their hands to cover their mouths, afraid to shout out and disturb Jiang Chen.

"This, this boy... He's managed to use his own Soul Power to pull out the Divine Lock Chain. What's he trying to do? Is he planning to pull the Divine Lock Chain into his own soul origin and then unravel it?"

Supreme Long Huang exclaimed, unable to contain himself any longer, having witnessed the pain Jiang Chen endured earlier.

That kind of pain; even Supreme Long Huang wasn't confident he could endure it once, let alone face it a second time, knowing full well how painful it would be!

"This..."

Tai Shang Emperor and his companions were all at a loss for words, watching Jiang Chen with heavy expressions, a complex look in their eyes.

Clink clink clink!

Suddenly, a crisp sound of chains clashing rang out as the segment of the Divine Lock Chain embedded in Zhou Wanchen's head was completely pulled out by Jiang Chen, quivering for a moment as it sped along Jiang Chen's Soul Power towards his brow!

Thud!

Zhou Wanchen's body went limp, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, everyone was fixated on the Divine Lock Chain. Even Supreme Phoenix Luan didn't rush forward to help him. Of course, she couldn't even reach him if she wanted to, with the area within a hundred meters isolated by Tai Shang Emperor and his companions!

"Be careful!"

"Young Master!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Seeing the chain about to pierce into Jiang Chen's brow, everyone widened their eyes and cried out in alarm.

"Break for me!"

A loud shout erupted as Jiang Chen raised the Tricolor Longblade, slicing it down towards his brow, severing the ten-centimeter length of Soul Power, his face suddenly turned pale, and he swiftly retreated.

Simultaneously, Jiang Chen threw his head back and shouted, "Help me control this chain!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Having been prepared, Tai Shang Emperor and the others immediately mobilized Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, firmly pressing it down onto the Divine Lock Chain.
