Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2017: Chapter 2061: Usage of the Hell Soul Bell (Part 3)

Hmm?

Jiang Fan was greatly surprised.

When he was in the Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm, relying on the Soul Cutting Three Forms, he could indeed be considered a great success in the realm of soul arts.

But in the Divinity Transformation Realm, he appeared somewhat ordinary.

And facing the Sage Realm, it could be said he was of no use at all!

Suddenly someone told him he could control the souls of strong individuals, which really puzzled Jiang Fan.

The divine thought within the Jade Scroll paused a moment, then continued:

"The answer lies in the Hell Soul Bell in your hand."

Huh?

Jiang Fan became surprised.

He had acquired quite a few Hell Realm Devices, Hell Soul Bell, Eye of Hell, Execution Pen, Book of Life and Death.

He had already figured out the uses of the latter three, but the Boundary Master Device of the Fengdu Domain Asura Clan, the Hell Soul Bell, he still couldn’t figure out.

He quickly placed the Jade Scroll against his forehead, inserting his divine thought into it, then tossed it to Red Sleeves.

The latter took it, already guessing what Jiang Fan wanted to ask, nothing more than seeking advice.

Red Sleeves said, "Do you remember your promise to aid us in the battle of the Southern Heavenly Realm?"

No wonder there was a good-hearted reminder, waiting right there.

Jiang Fan very straightforwardly recorded a separate Void Map, marking the location of the Sumeru Divine Prison.

"Take it!"

Red Sleeves took it, swept inside, and her snowy eyes rippled slightly.

There is actually a Saint’s corpse here!

Bringing it back to the Hell Realm would surely be a great merit.

Jiang Fan further said, "Just to remind you, it’s very dangerous inside, especially on the Second Layer."

"Stay no longer than thirty breaths; otherwise, those below the Saint realm will die."

Red Sleeves’ gaze shook.

It turns out it’s so perilous here?

But it also makes sense; without being a place of great danger, how could there be a Saint’s body?

She accepted the map, saying, "Thanks."

Jiang Fan didn’t have to remind her, but after this war, he was obviously much kinder to them.

Red Sleeves didn’t hold back either, recording everything she knew on the Jade Scroll as divine thought, then tossing it to Jiang Fan.

The Big Black Dog suspiciously asked, "Are you two romancing?"

Jiang Fan glared at him, placing the Jade Scroll against his forehead to read the divine thought within.

"The Hell Soul Bell is a World Artifact for souls! It can defend, as well as trap the enemies’ souls!"

Just the first sentence made Jiang Fan’s pupils shrink.

World Artifact for souls?

Red Sleeves’ divine thought continued.

"The Yellow Springs Realm Master once asked you for the Hell Soul Bell; have you ever thought of why she wanted this item?"

The Yellow Springs Realm Master is Hua Xin.

Her remnant soul was sealed by the White-robed Skeleton in a stitched female angel’s body, with Nine-Colored Thunderbolt Seals on the corpse.

The seal is not only for destroying enemies but also to prevent Hua Xin from escaping the corpse.

Forceful departure would trigger the seal, annihilating her remnant soul.

If Hua Xin obtained the Hell Soul Bell, she could use the bell to protect her soul entirely and freely.

Jiang Fan suddenly realized: "I should have thought of this earlier."

"Back in the Hell Realm, Hua Xin asked me for the Execution Pen and Hell Soul Bell, but never for the Eye of Hell."

"If she was greedy for World Artifacts, she would have asked for them all."

"Evidently, she had great use for the Hell Soul Bell."

Red Sleeves’ voice continued to transmit.

"After activating the Hell Soul Bell, it can protect the soul from external attacks."

"The method of activation is sacrificing souls, you can sacrifice your own, or you can sacrifice others’."

"The stronger the soul sacrificed, the stronger the defense power activated by the Hell Soul Bell."

It turns out to be soul sacrifice!

No wonder despite pondering for so long, he couldn’t find the method of use.

"As for the other function, trapping enemy souls...it also requires soul sacrifice. How much to sacrifice depends on the strength of the enemy soul you need to trap."

"The demon beast in front of you with the Two Calamities Realm, since it recognizes you as its master, will definitely surrender a small strand of soul for you to keep."

"You only need to sacrifice an equivalent soul, and you can imprison the surrendered soul in the Hell Soul Bell forever, unless reaching the Saint Realm, otherwise forget taking it back."

"If it harbors disloyal intent, you just need to shake the Hell Soul Bell, and it will obediently follow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan’s eyes shone with enthusiasm.

He looked at the Big Black Dog, feigning a difficult expression: "After careful consideration, I still want to eliminate you to avoid future troubles."

"But, the heavens have the virtue of cherishing lives, so I’ll accumulate some virtue this time."

"Surrender a strand of your soul, recognize me as master from this point forward, and I’ll spare your life."

Hah?

This guy, more dog-like than real dogs, does he have a single hair related to the virtue of cherishing lives?

This deceitful thing surely has a scheme!

However, it is the same.

Hehe!

The Big Black Dog showed a tearful expression of gratitude: "Master is truly kind-hearted; I’ll immediately separate a strand of soul for you."

It protruded its paw, gently clawed at its forehead, then let out a cry.

A strand of soul the size of dog hair was pulled out.

"Master, with this soul, you can decide my life and death."

"I’m now gifting it to you."

Jiang Fan took it decisively, his gaze slightly flickered.

The Big Black Dog also turned its eyes, secretly chuckling: "Human thing, merely at the Divinity Transformation Realm, dreaming of controlling a Two Calamities Realm soul?"

"Soon I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Jiang Fan eagerly took out the Hell Soul Bell, then also retrieved the small tower imprisoning souls.

Most of the souls inside were of Half-Giants, perfectly suitable for sacrifice.

He released some souls, sending them all into the Hell Soul Bell, then gently shook it.

Inside, all the souls were crushed into soul light spots amid cries, merging into the Hell Soul Bell.

The pitch-black Hell Soul Bell gradually turned red-black.

The red area displayed countless chains, while the black area had a large mouth pattern.

Jiang Fan had an epiphany.

The red area is for trapping enemies, the black area is to resist soul attacks.

He pressed the Big Black Dog’s soul on the red area, and instantly, within the pattern appeared a small black dog with its neck chained.

Imprisonment successful!

His eyes flashed as he tightened the chains, saying:

"Release it."

The Heaven Burial Saint Beast growled, reluctantly raising its paws.

The Big Black Dog flipped over, swiftly getting up and darting like black lightning to a nearby position, then started yelling:

"Hey! Wang Chongxiao, you yellow-haired boy, today’s enmity is irreconcilable!"

"Just wait for my Nanqian army to press against you, to annihilate your Central Earth!"

Jiang Fan was amused.

Turning against each other without a night’s delay!

He laughed in exasperation: "Dead dog, have you forgotten you still have a strand of soul in my hand?"

The Big Black Dog coldly chuckled: "Is my soul so easy to control?"

It raised its neck, bellowing loudly: "Dog Egg, come back!"

Inside the Hell Soul Bell, the little black dog chained up became instantly excited, wagging its tail, trying to rush out.

But the chains tightly bound it, unable to escape.

The Big Black Dog was slightly dumbfounded, saying, "You can trap my Two Calamities Realm soul?"

Jiang Fan held the bell, chuckled confidently: "Not only can I retain your sub-soul, but I can also make you obediently return!"

With that said, he lightly shook the Hell Soul Bell in his hand.
