Shi Yu's expression was cold as he controlled the Eight Spider Lances to split Tang Wulin's body.
Under the immense force, Tang Wulin's body shattered into pieces, turning into light and disappearing from the scene.
The people in the Ascension Platform are all spiritual beings; dying here does not mean true death.
The feeling of tearing Tang Wulin to pieces and killing him gave Shi Yu a great sense of satisfaction. Tang Wulin hadn't offended him, but his father had almost killed him, and this grudge couldn't go unavenged.
Let's take some reward from him, his son, for now. Tang Wulin, who died inside, suddenly awoke in the real world, gasping for breath as if he were having difficulty breathing.
His hatch was opened, and Wu Changkong carried him out, channeling some soul power into him to calm his soul, which had been severely impacted.
Dying at the Ascension Altar doesn't leave no harm; it can leave damage to the soul.
In severe cases, it can even lead to insanity, mental disorder, or, in the worst-case scenario, brain death.
Tang Wulin was still shaken and couldn't recover for a while.
Wu Changkong's face was grim. He had witnessed the whole thing, and that person was really going too far, daring to touch his disciple!
Inside the Ascension Platform, Gu Yue was furious; even being killed there was something she couldn't tolerate.
At this moment, they unleashed a full-force attack on Shi Yu, alternating between elements such as earth, fire, wind, water, light, darkness, and space.
Some attacks combine elements together, making them even more lethal.
Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were both furious. Driven by their anger, they unleashed extraordinary combat power, determined to kill this person on the Ascension Platform.
Their attacks were fierce, but Shi Yu responded with ease. His almost unlimited spatial teleportation made him virtually invincible when facing Soul Masters of similar strength.
He would strike with a palm strike if he could neutralize an attack, and if he felt the attack was too powerful, he would teleport away decisively.
His teleportation doesn't require the aid of spirit rings or excessive charging; it's a matter of a split second, making it impossible to defend against. Moreover, the distance is far enough that he can always dodge attacks at crucial moments.
Gu Yue had been trying to restrict Shi Yu's spatial abilities, but to no avail.
Shi Yu's spatial abilities cannot be restricted; even she possesses strong spatial attributes.
Unless Gu Yue's strength is significantly greater than Shi Yu's, such as reaching the level of Soul Emperor or Soul Saint, it might be possible to limit him.
But she's only at level 20-something, on the same level as Shi Yu. Without a difference in strength, she shouldn't even think about interfering with Shi Yu's spatial abilities.
It's worth mentioning that after absorbing the second spirit ring, Shi Yu's spirit power reached level twenty-two, which is slightly more than the normal level increase.
After all, the second spirit ring absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring, which contains much more energy than a seven- or eight-hundred-year spirit ring.
The transition from a hundred years to a thousand years is a qualitative change; the extra energy is not simply a matter of adding another three or four hundred years of soul ring energy.
"His teleportation is too frequent; we can't attack him at all." Xie Xie felt a headache coming on, pacing around like a headless fly, feeling like he was being toyed with by Shi Yu.
Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were both having a headache because of this; they had never encountered such a formidable opponent before.
He was not the kind of opponent so powerful that they had no hope of defeating him.
Rather, they are opponents so disgusting that they don't want to continue fighting. With such spatial abilities, they are practically invincible against opponents of the same level.
Unless he makes a stupid and obvious mistake, it's very difficult to attack him.
"You should go out too," Shi Yu's voice suddenly rang in Xie Xie's ears, startling him.
Before he could react, his chest was pierced through; it was still the Eight Spider Lances attacking.
"Xie Xie!" Xu Xiaoyan panicked and tried to control the ice chains to entangle Shi Yu.
Gu Yue controlled the earth, fire, wind, and water to form an encirclement, and also used all her spatial power to seal off Shi Yu.
"Ah!" Xie Xie screamed in agony as Shi Yu tore him apart and killed him with the Eight Spider Lances, turning him into energy and disappearing from the scene.
Shi Yu remained calm and composed in the face of numerous attacks, and his exquisite control over space made him increasingly confident.
These attacks arrived very quickly; if it were any other Soul Master with teleportation abilities, they might not even have had time to activate their Soul Skills.
But Shi Yu was different. He didn't need to activate his soul skill to teleport; he simply took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
"Boom boom boom..." These attacks merely collided with each other and failed to harm Shi Yu.
"Be careful," Gu Yue warned Xu Xiaoyan. They stood back to back, intently watching what lay ahead, their attacks poised to strike.
Shi Yu's voice rang out from afar, making Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan wary of the direction from which the voice came.
"Not good!" Gu Yue realized the problem, but it was too late to react. She disappeared, replaced by Shi Yu.
"Ah!" Xu Xiaoyan was shocked to see that the person behind her had been replaced. Her cute and pretty face was filled with panic.
Shi Yu showed no mercy to women. Xu Xiaoyan had no conflict with him, but in order to absorb the soul bone in peace, he had no choice but to kill her and drive her out as well.
The reason he attacked Tang Wulin and the others instead of simply taking the soul bone and running away was also because he wanted to absorb it.
If you run away with the soul bone, there's a chance they'll catch up and find you.
After all, the space of this Spirit Ascension Platform is not infinitely large. Given enough time, it wouldn't be surprising if they found him.
Absorbing a soul bone could take an unknown amount of time, so for safety's sake, it's best to eliminate the risk.
"Ah!" Xu Xiaoyan screamed in agony as Shi Yu ruthlessly killed her, causing her to disappear from the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Gu Yue felt a little late; by the time she got closer, Xu Xiaoyan had already left the Ascension Platform.
Shi Yu looked at Gu Yue, his face expressionless.
The latter attacked in anger, displaying a strength far greater than when he dealt with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Based on her current performance, she could probably solo the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. She would be hard to find an opponent among Soul Masters of the same level. Even if Tang Wulin went all out against her, he would probably only lose.
Unfortunately, Gu Yue usually prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't like to show off, or rather, she doesn't want to steal Tang Wulin's thunder, which is why she holds back.
"Who exactly are you, and why do you possess such powerful spatial abilities?" Gu Yue questioned as she attacked.
They wanted to find out Shi Yu's background so they could settle accounts with him later.
Killing him here wouldn't make much difference; only killing him in the real world would truly vent my anger.
"Tell me your identity and background, and I'll tell you, how about it?" Shi Yu responded calmly and even offered a reply.
"I'm just an ordinary student from Donghai Academy named Gu Yue. If you want to cause trouble for me in real life, feel free to come. I'm waiting for you," Gu Yue said coldly.
I hope you can add it to your favorites and vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Thank you so much.
