Chapter 1134: Soul's Silent Extinction

Boge Yaan uses the Sunbird's innate ability "Flame Shadow Clone," a legendary Element of the supernatural type that can create a multitude of clones, each clone being two ranks weaker than the original, looking identical, while the original hides among them.

The Flame Shadow Clone is superior to Mirror Image, sufficient to fool the eye, but it has little effect on Lei En.

He instantly locked onto one Sunbird, which was Boge Yaan's true form.

Four Mirror Images thunderously vaulted, surrounding from all four sides.

Upon landing, their bodies had swelled to over fifty meters tall, their feet unleashing a Rank‑10 "Thunder Stomp," countless massive bolts of lightning striking Boge Yaan, and the simultaneously enlarged war hammer followed suit, crashing down.

Boom—

The startled and angry Boge Yaan self‑detonated again, but before doing so it swapped places with a Flame Shadow Clone, its power far weaker than the earlier Eternal Blazing Sun.

The high‑temperature flames swept the four Mirror Images, blasting them outward.

Boge Yaan's true form appeared over a thousand meters away; it deliberately chose the most distant Flame Shadow Clone, but before it could catch its breath, a ten‑ring lightning struck its head, leaving no time to dodge, and the freshly healed wounds were grievously re‑injured.

A Mirror Image of Lei En appeared before it and smashed its head.

Bang!

The Sunbird's head exploded, and it died instantly.

However, the strength of the Flame Shadow Clone lies in that the moment the original is slain, it triggers Substitute Death Spell, causing another Sunbird's Flame Shadow Clone to take the hit.

This effectively combines the effects of Mirror Image, Mirror Shadow Technique, and Substitute Death Spell, thus qualifying as a legendary Element.

Lei En had known this long ago.

He raised Thunder God's Hammer, maintaining the Heavenly Punishment Lightning Prison technique, his gaze fixed on all Sunbird clones; high above, dark clouds churned as massive bolts of lightning rained down incessently, striking each Flame Shadow Clone in concert with the Mirror Images.

Ten Mirror Images vaulted back and forth within the area, using their speed advantage to create a many‑against‑few situation.

Whenever a Sunbird clone was struck by lightning and became paralyzed, at least two Mirror Images would appear instantly and hammer it to pieces.

Even Wu Suoke, far away, stared with his eyes fixed.

"Is this Mirror Image?"

When Lei En employed Mirror Image, it was already shocked, because not long ago it had also mastered Mirror Image, barely managing to create three Mirror Images, each only half the original's strength, difficult to control and looking very rigid.

However, Lei En's Mirror Images reached ten in number, each so powerful that none were inferior to the original.

The Flame Shadow Clone is two ranks weaker than the original; even so, Boge Yaan's Flame Shadow Clones are extremely terrifying.

But they cannot even withstand a single hammer strike from Lei En's Mirror Image.

Even self‑detonation cannot harm the Mirror Images in the slightest.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

Almost every second, a Flame Shadow Clone is blasted away, Boge Yaan's true form keeps shifting, but soon the number of targets it can swap with dwindles.

Lei En deliberately eliminated the most distant Flame Shadow Clone first, forcing Boge Yaan to retreat.

Half a minute later.

Dozens of Sunbirds die until only one remains, which is Boge Yaan's original form, now trapped within a circle of ten Mirror Images.

Each Mirror Image stood over fifty meters tall, skin shimmering with a dark‑gold sheen, a pair of massive metal wings on its back, surrounded by lightning, wielding a heavy war hammer, expressionless, like a cold, ruthless killing machine; their terrifying aura of power left Boge Yaan in despair.

"Why are there such terrifying enemies?"

It cannot comprehend.

These foes were clearly created by an ability very similar to its own Flame Shadow Clone, yet their strength was terrifying; their bodies seemed forged from the eternal metal of the Creator's altar, hard to breach and highly resistant to fire, so the damage from its own flames healed instantly.

The most frustrating thing was their speed, faster than lightning.

Even though it could still fly, it could not shake them off.

The greatest Luo A in Gulaman Empire's history still pales before the present foes; it certainly isn't a troll, but something from beyond the Gulaman Empire!

Boge Yaan guessed some truths.

"Whoosh!"

It let out a sharp howl, erupting a raging inferno outward; Sunflare Technique, Chain Flame Explosion, Blaze Storm, and so on, all Nine-ring, surged toward the ten approaching enemies.

Although Boge Yaan knew this would have limited effect, it merely aimed to delay the enemies' assault.

Pop pop pop…

Massive bolts of lightning pierced the scorching fire sea, revealing giants wielding war hammers.

In Boge Yaan's eyes lay resolve: "There is only that one move."

It frantically consumed divinity and tapped the energy of the Ancient Sacred Altar, the flames enveloping its body instantly expanding into a massive fireball hundreds of meters in diameter, emitting a destructive high temperature.

Eternal Blazing Sun!

Boge Yaan attempted to self‑detonate once more.

The Mirror Images of Lei En braked simultaneously, stopping before Boge Yaan's fireball, tentatively casting a few instant spells—Space-Time Shock, spell counter, Disintegrate, freezing ray, and so on—trying to interrupt the Sunbird's casting, but they were like a mud ox disappearing into the sea, ineffective.

The Mirror Images shook their heads in unison.

Boge Yaan was not casting normally; it released Eternal Blazing Sun via self‑detonation, which naturally could not be interrupted.

In this state, the extreme heat blocked all energy; anything below Nine-ring, even Nine-ring Technique, could not affect it.

Physical interruption was impossible; the Mirror Images would be incinerated before even approaching.

The probe failed, and the Mirror Images withdrew.

The Mirror Images' defense, power and resistance are only sixty percent of the original; at such close range, they could not withstand the eleven‑ring Eternal Blazing Sun.

In an instant, all ten Mirror Images vanished.

Their front legs had just moved when Boge Yaan successfully self‑detonated; a sun rose into the sky, releasing endless light and heat, the scorching flames forming a terrifying shockwave that swept tens of miles, burning and destroying everything.

Except Lei En.

This time the Eternal Blazing Sun erupted farther away, its power slightly weakened from the first, and Lei En easily withstood it.

The four Grand Mage clones were also far enough away; magical shields and various protective spells kept them safe.

The massive explosion quickly subsided.

The fire that had just been snuffed out by the icy wind cold surge now again spread across a radius of dozens of miles.

The Sun Bird's silhouette did not appear; it could at any moment undergo Phoenix Nirvana within any flame. Ten Mirror Images instantly returned to the blast zone, and the All-Seeing Eye scanned everywhere. Dozens of thunder‑forged divine weapons entered the battlefield, sweeping the enemy's rebirth sites like radar.

Yet after waiting more than ten seconds, Boge Yaan still remained nowhere to be seen.

Lei En furrowed his brow.

Strange was in charge of maintaining the spatial seal, Saluman used "Supernova Burst" to forbid its fire‑jumping, and the real killing moves were Alsha's "Absolute Ice Seal" and Zeiweier's "Mind Annihilation"; both Ten‑ring Spells take a long time to cast, but they were nearing completion.

The Ten‑ring Spell is extremely difficult to cast; with Alsha and Zeiweier's power, the "Spell Delayed Release" technique could not yet be applied.

Once the casting is complete, it must be released.

"Escaped?"

Lei En quickly dismissed that speculation; he knew something about Phoenix Nirvana, having once seen Sabbath Dean resurrect multiple times within flames, which can only occur in fire near the place of death, never far away.

The only possibility was that Boge Yaan could delay the timing of Nirvana.

It was biding its time.

After Lei En understood, how could he let it succeed? From the distant troll city Kulsen came the shouts of war breaking out.

The Radiant Legion had already teleported outside the city, awaiting the chance to strike.

Meanwhile.

Ke Er Sa Luo had already led a squad of thunder‑forged divine weapons to the ancient sacred altar beneath Kulsen, teleported directly inside, forcibly breached the Golden Panel, and temporarily severed Boge Yaan's permission over the ancient sacred altar.

This was something Luo A could not tolerate at all!

Sure enough, the instant Ke Er Sa Luo touched the Golden Panel, a blaze suddenly erupted in midair, and a massive entity was reborn within the fire, emerging.

Boge Yaan let out an angry screech, "Don't touch my…"

Boom!

Just as it shouted, a Ten‑ring lightning struck it, silencing the cry, and its paralyzed body plummeted rapidly toward the ground.

Lei En had been waiting for it all along, staring coldly at the Sun Bird, yet he did not let the Mirror Images go to attack.

Boge Yaan's wounds healed in an instant, and the flames on its body reignited.

Deprived of the ancient sacred altar's energy support, its recovery speed noticeably slowed by half, and its flame power also diminished, yet it remained extremely terrifying.

At this moment Boge Yaan sensed a huge danger, causing it even more palpitations than before.

It looked up toward the source of danger.

High above, that strange troll with bright eyes but no hair on its head emitted an invisible wave, unseen and untouchable, yet it had already witnessed this troll's prowess, being able to strike directly at its soul.

"What is he going to do?"

Boge Yaan's gaze met the other's, and in an instant the view went black, losing consciousness.

Ten‑ring Spell—Mind Annihilation!

One of the pinnacle spells of the psychic system, a fully enhanced version of Mind Blast and Death Finger; as long as it hits the target, it can erase the enemy's soul in an instant. Enemies below Saint Rank, even with iron will, mind shields, and various psychic protective spells, will have their souls instantly erased.

If the target's rank is lower than one's own, even those above Saint Rank will die on the spot.

Lei En hadn't initially intended to use this spell.

He needed Boge Yaan's demon soul, one Phoenix Nirvana, three Flame Demon crowns, two fire furnaces, a series of Nine‑ring Techniques and legendary Elements, as well as the Ten‑ring Spell Eternal Blazing Sun—truly priceless, able to greatly boost Reslin's casting strength.

But after the encounter, he changed his mind.

Boge Yaan was too strong; its soul rank was one level higher than Zeiweier's, so Mind Annihilation couldn't kill it, but could serve as forced control.

Indeed.

The Sun Bird's light faded, its flames extinguished, and its Soul Eye saw its soul in an extremely weakened state, with only a trace of soul essence left, yet not erased.

His judgment was correct.

The massive divinity repairing Boge Yaan's soul was rapidly restoring and strengthening it.

A severe cold current surged from the void, acting directly on the Sun Bird's body, solidifying thick, sturdy ice; in just half a breath, the massive being became a huge ice chunk, the terrifying cold ice force penetrated its body, suppressing its flame power.

Boge Yaan's soul recovery suddenly stalled, slowing to more than ten times its previous rate.

Alsha's Ten‑ring Spell "Absolute Ice Seal".

Thud!

The ice block fell to the ground, shaking but not shattering; the Sun Bird frozen inside resembled an insect in amber, immobile, showing no sign of awakening, as if already dead.

"Success…"

Wu Suoke muttered to himself, his face showing disbelief.

It could have imagined Lei En killing Boge Yaan, but never expected Lei En could still capture the Flame God alive. That self‑detonation move gave Boge Yaan an invincible position; capturing it alive was a hundred times harder than killing it.

"Wu Suoke, you go back first." Lei En's voice came from afar, and a portal opened before them.

The giant bear was startled: "Master?"

Lei En gave no explanation; next, Sheng Jilesi would devour Boge Yaan's divinity, and neither the process nor Sheng Jilesi's true form could be shown to outsiders.

"Yes." Wu Suoke obediently entered the portal.

Lei En maintained the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Technique to prevent accidents, Strange continued sealing the space, Alsha and Zeiweier remained invisible aloft on guard, and Saluman approached the Sun Bird, releasing Time Stop to envelop the massive ice block.

Time Stop had little effect on Boge Yaan; now it was cast merely to delay its soul's revival.

A shaft of holy light descended.

Sheng Jilesi appeared above the Sun Bird; Alsha guided Absolute Ice Seal on the solid ice to form a passage, allowing Sheng Jilesi to reach its body.

When Sheng Jilesi's hand pressed on the Sun Bird's back, he first felt a bone‑piercing chill, then a warm current. He did not hesitate to begin devouring; instantly, a tangible divine energy was extracted, rushing up his arm into his body.

"Um…"

Sheng Jilesi let out a muffled hum; the divinity value on his phone interface skyrocketed like a rocket, gaining over a thousand per second on average.

Boge Yaan's divinity was so massive, seemingly endless.

Saluman cast Time Stop every twenty seconds, slowing its recovery. Even so, after a few minutes, Boge Yaan's soul essence had grown to normal size, with Elements coalescing one by one, and its consciousness also recovered.

But it was already too late.

Its divinity was drained by more than seventy percent, its strength greatly reduced, unable to break free from the absolute ice seal's freeze, and the aftereffects of Mind Annihilation also weakened its will.

As more and more divinity was lost, Berg Yaen's resistance grew weaker, even unable to utter a scream.

Finally, the last trace of divinity was drained.

Saint Gilles glanced at the phone interface; divinity had already reached 750,000!

The divinity extracted from Berg Yaen amounted to nearly 400,000; this is after it twice underwent frenzied self-detonation, consuming 50,000 to 80,000 divinity, otherwise it would have been even more.

"What a pity."

At this moment Lei En withdrew the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Technique, mind leaping to Berg Yaen's front, observing it through the ice. Compared to before, this Luo A's strength remained less than thirty percent, yet its immense fiery power still cannot be underestimated; Phoenix Nirvana makes it extremely hard to kill, with more resurrections, rank regresses, and its value will be discounted.

However, Lei En had already prepared a method, letting Al Sha prematurely dispel the absolute ice seal, raising his war hammer and smashing the Sun Bird unconscious.

Then he shouted loudly: "Nine Rings, Ovow Soul-Breaking Technique!"
