Starting with the Sword Ancestor System: Xiao Yan, Your Harem is Mine!

185: The power of the blade’s silence caused the wild eagle to retreat in defeat.The moment Li Ao’s voice fell, the atmosphere across the entire ice plain seemed to solidify. The wind and snow even paused, leaving only the invisible sharp Qi clashing fiercely with the cold and deathly stillness emanating from the Hall of Souls members.

”Arrogant!” Wild Eagle’s hoarse voice carried fury. As a Celestial Venerable of the Hall of Souls, how could he have ever been so belittled, especially by someone who appeared so young. ”Since you seek death, this Venerable shall grant it to you! Form the Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Spirit Array!”

At his command, the eight Soul Hall Protectors immediately flickered, taking their positions in eight directions. Their hand seals changed, and increasingly thick black chains, entwined with the wailing phantoms of the dead, surged out from their bodies. They wove together in the air, instantly forming a giant black net that covered half the sky! Above the giant net, countless twisted, suffering Soul faces emerged, emitting ear-piercing shrieks. A terrifying pulling and corrosive force, targeting the Soul, descended!

The caravan guards trembled under this power, their Souls feeling as if they were about to leave their bodies. Even Steward Wu, a Dou Wang-level expert, turned pale, barely managing to hold on.

”Mere parlor tricks, daring to show off before a master.”

Medusa snorted coldly, gently tapping her jade foot on the carriage roof. Dazzling seven-colored light shot into the sky, not directly confronting the Soul giant net, but rather forming a massive seven-colored shield that firmly protected the entire caravan. The chilling Soul shrieks and suction, upon contact with the seven-colored shield, were like mud oxen entering the sea, completely resisted and dissolved by the energy containing a trace of ancient Bloodline pressure.

She, by herself, protected the entire caravan from Soul attacks!

At the same time, Li Ao moved.

Facing the descending Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Spirit Array, he chose not to evade, but instead stepped forward, directly into the wailing ghosts and howling wolves that filled the sky!

”Om!”

The space behind him subtly twisted. The black saber ”silent ruin,” entirely black and entwined with grey Qi currents, revealed its ferocious form for the first time on this ice plain! The moment the saber appeared, the surrounding space emitted faint, overburdened hums.

Li Ao gripped the saber with one hand, his gaze calm and unwavering. With a simple, upward flick, he slashed at the sky-obscuring black Soul net above his head!

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, only an extremely condensed, translucent, grey-gold fine line that extended from the ”silent ruin” blade, silently cutting towards the Soul net.

Silent Void Slash!

This saber strike contained Li Ao’s initial Fusion of Saber Intent and Nirvana Power. Its core Profound Truth was—severance and annihilation!

The Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Spirit Array, composed of countless Soul chains and resentful spirits, was like a hot knife cutting through butter the instant it touched the grey-gold fine line!

”Chi—la—!”

A teeth-grinding tearing sound erupted! The seemingly indestructible black giant net, capable of devouring Souls, was effortlessly split in two by this fine line! Wherever the saber mark passed, all entwined black chains and wailing Soul phantoms instantly melted and annihilated, like ice and snow thrown into raging fire, turning into the most fundamental nothingness!

One saber strike, breaking the array!

”What?!” Wild Eagle’s pupils constricted, his face drained of color in shock. His Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Spirit Array, capable of trapping and killing ordinary low-star Dou Zong, was actually broken so casually by the opponent with a single saber strike?!

The eight Protectors forming the array were as if struck by a heavy blow, all spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Their Qi instantly withered, and their gazes towards Li Ao were filled with terror.
