Ning Beichen immediately produced a skull, which startled Su Rui so much that she nearly had him arrested on the spot.
Fortunately, Su Rui did not take action after Ning Beichen’s explanation.
However, she became increasingly interested in Ning Beichen’s ability to conjure things out of thin air.
Despite Ning Beichen having nothing on him, he could inexplicably produce items, much like Doraemon’s magical pocket.
Ning Beichen, however, ignored her and began to communicate with Haitang using the skull.
As it turned out, the communicator Haitang had created worked perfectly in this location. Ning Beichen soon managed to contact Haitang.
After connecting with Haitang, Ning Beichen exchanged pleasantries with her and then explained the problem he had encountered.
“It’s very simple, you just need to do this…”
Haitang quickly provided Ning Beichen with a solution.
After ending the communication with Haitang, Ning Beichen immediately followed her method, captured a soul, and then used some mysterious witchcraft to extract residual memories from it.
Most of the residual memories from the souls were useless. Ning Beichen tried ten souls in succession before finally finding the crucial information he needed within the residual memories of the tenth soul.
Without a word, Ning Beichen grabbed Su Rui and fled into the distance.
Not long after, Ning Beichen landed with Su Rui in a certain location.
There stood a massive, red clay sculpture, and numerous souls were kneeling and worshipping it.
As Ning Beichen landed, he stomped his foot on the ground, and with a boom, he sent all the souls worshipping the clay sculpture flying.
“Ning Beichen, what are you doing?”
Su Rui, seeing that Ning Beichen’s actions seemed unusual, asked him urgently.
“The clay sculpture is a passage. I need to enter and deal with the culprit. Miss Su Rui, I don’t have the time nor the means to send you back for now, so you’ll have to endure coming with me.”
After speaking, Ning Beichen grabbed Su Rui and flew directly into the navel of the enormous clay sculpture.
Just as Ning Beichen had expected.
Upon entering the clay sculpture’s navel, he and Su Rui were instantly teleported to another location.
“Praise the Sun Goddess…”
They found themselves in a plaza filled with many souls, all kneeling and loudly chanting the name of the Sun Goddess. On a raised platform in the center of the plaza stood a woman clad in dazzling golden armor.
This woman held a golden scepter and wore a golden crown, receiving the worship of numerous souls.
Ning Beichen released Su Rui, let out a cold snort, and declared loudly:
“Playing the god and deceiving people. She only craves your souls. You still worship her; you are utterly foolish!”
“Boldness! How dare you disrespect the Sun Goddess! Seize him and make him atone for the Sun Goddess!”
The souls worshipping the Sun Goddess had been thoroughly brainwashed. Hearing Ning Beichen defame her, they were naturally unwilling to stand for it. They began to curse Ning Beichen vehemently, intending to capture him and deliver him to the Sun Goddess for punishment.
“Ignorant fools!”
Ning Beichen, uninterested in these souls, flew directly towards the platform.
“It’s you. I didn’t expect you to actually find me. I was planning to seek revenge on you, but since you’ve come to my doorstep, it saves me a lot of trouble.”
The Sun Goddess sneered at Ning Beichen.
“Hmph! I don’t care if you are the true Sun Goddess or an impostor. You should never have reached into my world.”
Ning Beichen was naturally not afraid of her.
“Hehehe, you are very confident, and your soul is exceptionally powerful, more so than any soul I’ve ever encountered. If I devour your soul, I will become even stronger.”
After speaking to Ning Beichen, the Sun Goddess waved her golden scepter, and countless fierce soul soldiers appeared around them, packed densely, numbering at least tens of thousands.
These fierce soul soldiers attacked Ning Beichen from all directions like a tide.
Ning Beichen remained calm and unhurried, only beginning to act when the fierce soul soldiers were upon him.
The fierce soldiers proved no match for Ning Beichen, who eliminated them with ease, as if chopping vegetables. In a short while, all tens of thousands of fierce souls lay defeated at his feet.
“Sun Goddess, your minions are useless against me. You should make your own move.”
Ning Beichen said this before throwing a punch at the Sun Goddess.
Sensing the power of Ning Beichen’s punch, the Sun Goddess hurriedly raised her scepter to retaliate.
It was unclear what treasure the Sun Goddess’s golden scepter was made of, as it managed to block Ning Beichen’s attack.
When Ning Beichen drew out his bronze ancient sword, the Sun Goddess exclaimed in shock:
“How can the Yu Sword be in your hands?”
“Yu Sword?”
Ning Beichen, hearing the Sun Goddess’s words, was also stunned.
The bronze ancient sword in his hand was the Yu Sword?
Was the Sun Goddess deceiving him?
However, Ning Beichen saw that the Sun Goddess’s expression did not seem fake.
His master had searched the world for the Yu Sword to deal with the Palace Lord of Yuntian Palace. He had not found the Yu Sword but had found a branch of it, and with that alone, he had almost destroyed his enemy.
Ning Beichen had never imagined that the Yu Sword was this unknown bronze ancient sword in his hand.
However, Ning Beichen did not completely believe it. Although the bronze ancient sword had helped him many times, he did not feel it possessed extraordinary power.
In his hands, the bronze ancient sword was, at most, slightly more powerful than other weapons.
If the bronze ancient sword were truly the Yu Sword, its power should be far greater.
After all, a mere branch of the Yu Sword was capable of killing a Heavenly Venerate.
Ning Beichen had even used the bronze ancient sword against him in the past, and it could not even contend with a Venerate, let alone a Heavenly Venerate.
At this moment, the Sun Goddess suddenly spoke again:
“No, this is not the Yu Sword. I cannot feel its power. Could this be merely a replica?”
“I don’t need the Yu Sword to deal with you.”
Ning Beichen replied.
“Hehehe… You are merely an ant from a low-level world. You don’t even have the ability to reach my true body. How can you fight me!”
After speaking, the Sun Goddess waved her golden scepter at Ning Beichen.
A golden light shot out from the golden scepter, resembling sunlight.
Ning Beichen thought this light would not harm him, as he possessed the Prajna Golden Body, so he did not even attempt to dodge.
However, in the next moment, a bloody wound appeared on Ning Beichen’s body.
“Prajna Golden Body?”
“How do you possess the Prajna Golden Body? You cannot be from this low-level world; such a cultivation technique does not exist here.”
The Sun Goddess exclaimed in surprise once more.
