Chapter 497: Deathly Silence Gate

As Xiao Ming's words fell, countless gazes from within the mountain range immediately converged on him.

The ferocious reputation the Chief of the Hall of Souls had once held in the Central Plains was enough to make people tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name. Despite gradually fading from public view due to his extended seclusion, his fierce reputation had not disappeared even after a long period of time…

If one were to rank the most influential figures in the Central Plains, the Chief of the Hall of Souls, Hun Mie Sheng, would unquestionably claim the top position!

Xiao Ming was no less formidable. As the Leader of the Heavenly Court Alliance and a Dou Saint in his early twenties, any of his identities was enough to command respect and awe in the Central Plains.

The imminent clash between these two figures had captured the attention of all onlookers. This fight was the most important one today. On one side stood the Chief of the Hall of Souls, and on the other was the Leader of the Heavenly Court Alliance. The outcome of their battle would determine the victor of this duel!

"Are you not going to wait for them to conclude their battle first? Although it probably won't change the final outcome, it might buy you a few more days of life."

Amidst the watchful gazes of the multitude, the Chief of the Hall of Souls took measured steps forward. He halted his advance when he was approximately a hundred meters away from Xiao Ming. Wearing a faint smile, he gazed up at the latter, his demeanor calm and unruffled, showing no signs of agitation despite the current situation.

Xiao Ming exchanged a glance with the Chief of the Hall of Souls, and a hidden undercurrent surged between them, causing the air temperature to rise at that very moment.

"The Hall Chief seems quite confident in himself. However, it's best not to be overly boastful. You wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself later."

Xiao Ming responded, but inwardly, he grew more cautious. He wouldn't believe that Hun Mie Sheng couldn't sense his current realm. Knowing his strength and capabilities, yet still daring to be so arrogant, there was likely a hidden trump card at play.

"Ha ha, the Hall of Souls does not leave anyone alive when doing things. This way of speaking is only for mediocre individuals. If one worries about all this when trying to achieve big things, one would be a little petty…"

"Because of you, there were many criticisms within the clan. When you started gaining prominence, I ordered your capture. Although they didn't underestimate you, they could never have anticipated the extent of your power growth, allowing you to escape their clutches time and again."

The eyes of the Chief of the Hall of Souls were somewhat complicated as he stared at Xiao Ming. This person had become a major threat to the Hall of Souls. Initially, he thought his growth was due to his subordinates underestimating him. However, after careful consideration, he realized he couldn't blame his subordinates.

Anyone who understood Xiao Ming knew how absurdly fast his growth had been. In just a few short years, he had reached a point where he could contend with the Hall of Souls.

It was worth noting that Xiao Ming was only twenty-four years old this year!

If one were to toss aside this person's status as an enemy, the Chief of the Hall of Souls felt admiration for this person in his heart.

He had to admit that if it had been him, he would have found it difficult to overcome this strenuous journey and reach the peak of this continent.

"However, regardless of the circumstances, this chief still has an undeniable responsibility in allowing you to grow to this extent. Hence, this time around… I hope to remove that responsibility."

The Chief of the Hall of Souls smiled. His eyes roamed Xiao Ming, who had an impassive expression, as he slowly stated.

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, but he chose not to say anything else. His aura gradually intensified, and fiery red Dou Qi slowly surged out of his body.

The Chief of the Hall of Souls didn't dare to be arrogant. He swiftly retreated and took the initiative to attack.

Dark-black Dou Qi erupted from his body in an instant, transforming into countless spiritual illusory figures. These figures created a strange formation as they wrapped around him, their faces expressing devoutness as they knelt down. Simultaneously, their mouths emitted ear-piercing soul soundwaves.

"Ten Thousand Worshiping Souls!"

Countless soul soundwaves gathered in front of the Chief of the Hall of Souls before transforming into a sharp arrow that shot out violently.

As a High Tian Soul Skill, Xiao Ming chose not to resist head-on. While his Dou Qi Realm could easily handle the opponent, his Soul Realm was at the same level as the Hall Chief's. Even if it was slightly stronger, the advantage was limited.

"Yellow Spring Divine Anger!"

Tidal soul soundwaves surged and clashed with the Hall Chief's soundwaves.

Wu wu wu wu!

The two soul soundwaves collided violently, filling the sky with overwhelming soul wails. Many experts paled due to this spiritual fluctuation. Mouths spewed fresh blood, and they staggered back, shock etched across their faces. The residual soundwaves alone left them completely vulnerable...

In the sky, the collision and dispersion of soundwaves caused countless illusory spirits around the Hall Chief to explode one after another. Finally, all of them exploded until nothing remained. However, under this protection, the Hall Chief himself didn't seem to suffer significant damage.

"Deathly Silence Gate!"

Seeing that the first move didn't work, Hun Mie Sheng wasn't surprised. His expression, though, grew more solemn. His hands quickly formed strange seals, and a dense black fog surged from his palms, transforming into a massive black gate exuding a mysterious aura. The gate swung open, revealing darkness akin to a black hole, leaving one to wonder what kind of mysterious realm it led to.

"It really is the Deathly Silence Gate!"

"It's said that this Deathly Silence Gate was created by a Dou God from ancient times and is capable of devouring all things in the world!"

The onlookers were filled with astonishment, not because Xiao Ming easily handled Hun Mie Sheng's Ten Thousand Worshiping Souls, but because Hun Mie Sheng possessed such a strange item.

This Deathly Silence Gate was extremely strange. It was unlike an ordinary Dou Skill; in fact, it couldn't even be classified as a type of Dou Skill. It was more apt to describe it as a realm created through one's training.

This gate was extremely challenging to refine. Inside the gate was a space filled with a deathly aura. Even a seven-star Dou Saint would likely be eroded and killed by the deathly aura if they were sucked inside and couldn't escape. After their death, their entire essence would become nourishment for the Deathly Silence Gate, allowing it to become even stronger. Many experts fought in ancient times to snatch this Deathly Silence Gate. No one expected it would eventually fall into the hands of the Hun Clan and be successfully refined.

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, this Deathly Silence Gate was specially borrowed by this chief from a senior within the clan. Even a seven-star Dou Saint entering it will only find a path to death. I'm giving you enough face, aren't I?"

The Hall Chief felt assured after bringing out the Deathly Silence Gate and burst into hearty laughter.

'The Deathly Silence Gate, it's actually this thing.'

A hint of surprise flickered in Xiao Ming's eyes. The Deathly Silence Gate could indeed pose a threat to him. If unleashed suddenly during the battle and he was pulled inside, he feared he would have no way to escape.

However, now that he was cautious, attempting to trap him inside would be akin to wishful thinking.

In reality, Hun Mie Sheng had no choice. He had originally planned to unleash it suddenly during the battle. However, he feared he wouldn't last until the Deathly Silence Gate was released...
