“Quick! hold him down!” the woman in the white robe ordered.

The surrounding black-robed men immediately came to the man's side and chanted a mysterious incantation. Invisible forces acted on the man who was struggling crazily.

His body was forcibly bound to the crystal.

The white-robed woman slowly extended her pale hand, and wisps of long silver streams were engraved on the man's body.

After an unknown amount of time, an even shriller scream followed.

The lines on the man's body suddenly became bright, and then dimmed. The man fell on the crystal, and there was no more movement.

“Failed again?” On the high platform, Nuss turned his head solemnly and looked at the woman. He said, “We have already wasted a large number of experimenters and Source Fluids. You are always unable to give me a desired result!”

The white-robed woman slowly said, “Failure will only bring us closer to success!”

“Enough! I don't want to hear you say this!” Nuss suddenly waved his hand and looked at her somberly. He said, “Veya, I know that you once had an outstanding work. You almost succeeded, but because of your softhearted heart and so-called kins.h.i.+p, you let your experiment go down the drain. You could have become the number one human revolutionary figure, but you gave up this opportunity!”

The woman named Veya raised her head and said faintly, “Lord Nuss, spying on my soul will not bring any benefits to our experiment. I am sure of that.”

In the karst cave, Su Han and the other two quickly moved deeper underground.

Lotte followed behind and said, “We have built three floors in total. The first floor is occupied by the Guardians of our Spirit Shrine. Most of our defensive forces are on this floor.”

“The second floor stores the experimenters and materials that we captured from the First Human race and barbarians. The third and final floor is the core of the entire base. Lord Nuss and his researchers are all conducting secret research on that floor.”

Su Han nodded and said, “How many people are there on the first floor? What are their strength levels?”

Lotte said, “So far, there are 210 people on the first level. Half of them have reached tier-7. Six of them are tier-8. They are all experts of the Soul Shrine.”

Su Han nodded and slowly landed in front of the deep hole that led to the next level. He stretched his shoulders and said, “I got it.”

Lotte said, “They said the same thing to me. They are all people who specialize in soul attacks. Although there is a gap between them and other people of the same level in terms of magic and physical combat strength, soul attacks are enough for them to rank at the top among all people of the same level.”

“Master Su Han, I have a plan.”

Su Han waved his hand and said indifferently, “Troublesome.”

He kicked the door that led to the next level. The door was instantly covered with ice crystals. In the next moment, the huge steel door exploded with a bang.

Lotte looked at the shattered door in astonishment and muttered, “This is a door made of secret gold!”

The shattering of the door immediately caused the entire first level to sound an ear-piercing alarm.

“Intruders!”

One by one, people in black robes floated up from the darkness. Their eyes flickered with the l.u.s.ter of souls, and they gathered towards the door like ghosts.

A loud bang.

The inner door leading to the upper level was also blasted apart by a huge force.

The few black-robed people who had just arrived in front of the inner door were immediately cut into countless pieces by the shattered door.

They immediately saw in horror that a black-haired youth was walking down from the pa.s.sage above step by step. He raised his head and looked down at them as he said indifferently, “Are you going to kill yourselves, or do you want me to help you?”

“That person… He… He is…”

One of them recognized Su Han's appearance and took a few steps back while trembling as he said loudly, “It's that demon who ma.s.sacred tens of thousands of people in the Temple of Light! It's him! There's no doubt about it!”

The expressions of the people around him changed drastically.

The person who ma.s.sacred the entire Temple of Light, the number one human in the shattered world, was recognized by everyone. He was the first person in thousands of years who dared to roam freely in the territory of their First Human race and was able to escape unscathed in the end!

A tier-8 black-robed man with a ferocious face suddenly waved his long robe and said, “Kill him! Don't give him any chance!”

In the next moment, more than a hundred black-robed men suddenly looked in Su Han's direction. The violent soul fluctuations even caused the surrounding environment to change.

The walls were peeling off, the ground was melting, and all kinds of illusions accompanied by the wails of ghosts and monsters were heading toward Su Han.

Su Han said indifferently, “Interesting.”

He suddenly waved his hand, and under the effects of gravity and drive, the layer of rock above instantly collapsed. In an instant, countless screams sounded out, and large swaths of the black-robed men were pressed under the layer of soil.

Su Han naturally knew that it was impossible to directly use the layer of rock to crush a tier-7 person to death.

He waved his hand again, and the entire collapsed rock layer was under his control. The rock layer instantly compressed into the middle, turning from loose soil and rocks into extremely dense rock layers.

During the compression process, one could vaguely hear the screams from within, as well as the terrifying sounds of flesh and blood being compressed.

Their soul attacks were also reduced by the interference of soul flatulence when they came into contact with Su Han. The remaining damage could not affect Su Han at all.

His current mental strength was no longer comparable to before.

“Quick! Let's retreat quickly!” the remaining black-robed men roared as they ran deeper into the tunnel.

A tier-8 black-robed man said in a deep voice, “Release those magical beasts and test subjects. Let him know that our spirit shrine is not someone that anyone can provoke!”

Rumble!

The layer of rock that had crushed half of the people slowly rose up, revealing Su Han who was hugging his shoulders at the end of the tunnel.

Looking at the end of the tunnel, Su Han floated up expressionlessly and headed towards the end.

Nicole and Lotte walked down from the upper level and saw the gradually rising rock layer. They could vaguely see the corpses that had almost fused with the rock.

“As expected of Master's power,” Lott said fanatically. “Only by using such a cruel method can they remember Master's glory until the day they die.”

A huge tremor came from the top of their heads, once again causing the deepest layer of s.p.a.ce to tremble. A large number of crushed stones continuously collapsed from the rock layer above their heads.

Nuss looked at the door leading to the second floor. He could already feel the soul fluctuations coming from above.

A guard rolled down from the top of the second floor's stone stairs. He rushed to Nuss in a panic and said, “Lord Nuss, it's bad! It's bad!”
