Wang Ye placed the two Soul Restraining Stones on the ground.

With two heads and four arms, and an outer layer made of pure dark crystals, but devoid of any life force.

This was a statue of a formidable dark race warrior!

In the dozens of cosmic days they had spent in the seventh prison, they had encountered the Soul Restraining Stone many times.

In every dark race, there was such a statue.

This thing is a Soul Restraining Stone,” Wen Rou gazed at the statue intently.

She had even destroyed one before.

It was hardly secure.

“There are no energy fluctuations at all,” Ji Mengni’s fair and tender hand caressed the Soul Restraining Stone.

“That’s why we were misled,” Wang Ye remarked.

It was normal for races to worship their patriarch’s statue. Being face-blind, he couldn’t discern the differences among dark race warriors.

Who would have thought that this thing was called a Soul Restraining Stone?

Alright, it was indeed a ‘stone’.

But it displayed no energy reaction at all. How could it capture souls?

“Wang Ye, you mentioned that you roughly know the sole mission in the seventh prison. What is it?” Ji Mengni’s beautiful eyes looked over.

“The sole mission is to grant eternal rest to the souls of Undying human experts,” Wang Ye explained. “It consists of two steps, first, finding the souls of the Undying experts, and second, ensuring their peaceful rest. We’ve already completed the first step.”

Wen Rou was taken aback.

“You mean the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit?” Ji Mengni quickly grasped the point.

Wang Ye nodded. “A normal Undying Lifeform should have a perfect fusion of body, soul, and will, making it difficult for the soul to exist separately. However, the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit we killed could. It’s quite strange.”

“Including during battles, although the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit had ample origin power for attacks, it couldn’t heal physical injuries, or perhaps it couldn’t heal at all because its body and soul were not integrated.”

Moreover, the fighting style of the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit isn’t very similar to that of dark race warriors. They seem more human-like.”

So, you suspect that the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit is being led by the souls of immortal experts?” Ji Mengni pressed.

“Yes,” Wang Ye affirmed. “The three missions seem separate, but they’re interconnected. Whether we can obtain the Soul Restraining Stone is key to killing the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit. And whether we can kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit is likely related to the sole mission.”

But even if we can kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit using the Soul Restraining Stone, how do we ensure the souls of Undying human experts find peace?” Ji Mengni’s eyes shimmered.

“I don’t know,” Wang Ye admitted. “But compared to before, where I had no clue, at least now I know the path.”

“Kill the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit,” Wen Rou suggested succinctly.

“Indeed,” Wang Ye agreed, stowing away the two Soul Restraining Stones. “I believe that after completing the second nightmare mission, we’ll have more clues about the sole mission.”

“Agreed!” Ji Mengni smiled warmly.

In the first selection world, halfway through the first half.

Contestants who had grown accustomed to the rules began accumulating points and climbing the rankings.

Following Qing Xuan and Qing Yu, who completed the third prison mission and secured the second and third positions, Jiu Gedi, Huizhi, and Qifeng Zhenqing from the Weixin Eternal Nation quickly caught up, pushing Qing Xuan and Qing Yu down.

They completed the fourth prison!

After that, the top ten rankings paused momentarily.

The further down the list, the greater the difficulty and time required, with a higher probability of failure.

However, competition for the top hundred positions was intense.

Completing the sole mission was not mandatory!

By steadily completing advanced, difficult, and even nightmare missions, one could still earn points!

As long as they made it into the top hundred of the first selection world!

They could enter the Infinite World of Slaughter!”

The fifth layer, the slothful Prison.

Dongheng Wanyi completed his tasks at lightning speed.

His luck was abysmal!

He thought that with his memories of reincarnation, everything would go smoothly. Who would have guessed…

So unfortunate!

Completing the first prison task was a good start.

However, he came just short of completing the sole mission in the second prison.

Then he skipped directly from the third prison to the fourth, where he was caught off guard by the trio from the Weixin Eternal Nation.

He absolutely couldn’t afford to lose in the fifth prison!

Suddenly…

“The sole mission in Slothful Prison has been completed.”

A notification appeared before Dongheng Wanyi, and his face paled.

As he looked at the red teleportation dot on the map, he felt a bit dazed.

What had happened?

Who had stolen his things this time?

He checked the leaderboard.

[1] Yunzhou Eternal Nation, Xian Yuyan: 18.55 million.

[2] Dongheng Eternal Nation, Dongheng Wanyi: 12.74 million.

[3] Weixin Eternal Nation, Jiu Gedi: 11.01 million.

Seeing the familiar name above his own, Dongheng Wanyi felt a sense of defeat.

It was clear that Xian Yuyan had monopolized all the rewards from the sole mission in the fifth prison.

Her goal had been clear from the start. She skipped the first four prisons and focused solely on the fifth.

The first half had been 180 cosmic days.

Xian Yuyan had spent nearly two-thirds of that time successfully reaping the rewards.

This is so embarrassing…” Dongheng Wanyi blushed slightly.

As a Reincarnator with memories of the 108 Hell’s Dark Abyss, he was intimately familiar with the mission system of the Infinite World of Slaughter. Yet, he had been completely outdone by Xian Yuyan, with a gap of 6 million points between them.

If things were to conclude in this manner, he would never be able to lift his head in front of his siblings.

There’s still a chance!” Dongheng Wanyi hurried to the Dark Abyss Stairway.

Luckily, he had been cautious and hadn’t gone far.

There was still time!

He skipped the sixth prison and headed straight for the seventh.

With Xian Yuyan completing the sole mission in the fifth prison, the teleportation passage to the sixth would open, and a flood of competitors would enter, potentially disrupting his progress.

Soul Restraining Prison.” Dongheng Wanyi successfully arrived and opened the mission details.

“Let the souls of the Undying experts rest in peace?” He chuckled softly, feeling more confident.

The sole mission in the Soul Restraining Prison wasn’t too difficult!

All he had to do was dismantle the soul restraining samsara formation and destroy its core to remove the soul restraining effect, allowing the souls of the Undying experts to rest in peace.

While other contestants might not know where the soul restraining samsara formation was or how to destroy it, he had a clear understanding!

“Conquer the seventh prison! Return to the top!” Dongheng Wanyi’s confidence was restored.

The only challenge now was time.

The first half was drawing to a close.

Soul-rejecting Prison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Ye, Wen Rou, and Ji Mengni teamed up to attack the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit.

Even someone as formidable as an Undying Lifeform was rendered defenseless against their onslaught.

Especially since the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit itself lacked recovery abilities, coupled with spatial lockdown, the time domain, and the overwhelmingly domineering melee strikes of Wen Rou, it only took a short time to cripple it.

Swoosh! A spectral figure broke free from the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit.

Wang Ye was prepared, swiftly hurling the Soul Restraining Stone.

Instantly, an enigmatic force surged between heaven and earth, linking the Soul Restraining Stone, drawing them into it, and sealing them within.

The body of the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit collapsed, meeting its final demise.

“The points are secured. Wang Ye observed.

“But this hardly qualifies as resting,” Ji Mengni pondered.

“Indeed,” Wang Ye agreed. “We’ve merely completed the second nightmare mission.”

The sole mission was undeniably challenging.

The further they progressed, the tougher it became.

The tasks in the Infinite World of Slaughter not only tested combat prowess but also demanded high levels of analytical and problem-solving skills.

What’s our next move?” Ji Mengni inquired of Wang Ye.

Let’s try breaking it,” Wang Ye suggested, his devilish blade ablaze as he shattered the Soul Restraining Stone statue.

The shadow seemed to break free from its constraints, vanishing without a trace soon after.

The trio exchanged looks, yet remained unable to draw any conclusions.

Let’s continue hunting for the Dark Soul Shadow Spirits and see if there are any variations,” Wang Ye proposed.

“Agreed.”

Swoosh.

The third encounter!

Once again, Wang Ye and his companions dispatched the Dark Soul Shadow Spirit.

Their coordination had become exceptionally practiced.

As Wang Ye once more wielded the Soul Restraining Stone, a peculiar force manifested, drawing the spirit into the stone, sealing it completely.

No different from the previous two encounters.

“Did we take the wrong path?” Ji Mengni suggested.

Wang Ye remained silent, lost in thought.

Gazing at the Soul Restraining Stone and the statue of a unique member of the dark race, he sensed no presence of any souls.

They seemed entirely trapped within the statue.

“Have you ever wondered, if we don’t use the Soul Restraining Stone or release it, where would the soul go?” Wang Ye suddenly spoke up.

“To the body of the next Dark Soul Shadow Spirit,” Ji Mengni replied.

“Back to the world,” Wen Rou added.

Wang Ye turned to the two women. “Regardless of being trapped in the Soul Restraining Stone or otherwise, his soul is continually being utilized, trapped here repeatedly, isn’t it?”

The two women nodded in agreement.

Wang Ye let out a sigh. “Have you noticed that the Soul Restraining Stone itself lacks energy, yet souls can be drawn into it? It’s peculiar as if there’s a unique rule governing this world.”

Indeed, it’s like an invisible force forcibly pressing the soul into the Soul Restraining Stone,” Ji Mengni remarked.

“The power of the world’s rules,” Wen Rou added.

Wang Ye continued, “The sole mission in the seventh prison is exceedingly challenging. So I’ve been pondering, what makes it so difficult? And to what extent? What must be done to allow the souls of the Undying experts to rest in peace?”

So… have you figured it out?” Ji Mengni smiled at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye’s eyes gleamed as he pointed to the sky. “It’s the entire world. The seventh prison is named the Soul Restraining Prison! No soul here can ever escape! The entire prison is designed to confine souls!”

Suddenly, it all made sense!

The two women exchanged a glance.

Wang Ye’s hypothesis wasn’t unfounded.

It was precisely because of the laws of this world that the Soul Restraining Stone existed.

Hence, no matter how the soul changed, it could never escape.

Because what bound it was the entirety of the world!

Destroy the Soul Restraining Prison,” Wen Rou suggested bluntly.

How?” Wang Ye inquired.

Wen Rou was momentarily speechless.

Could there be some core existence within the Soul Restraining Prison, or perhaps it generates this unique world law through some grand array?” Ji Mengni mused.

That seems plausible,” Wang Ye agreed. “But we might not have enough time to dismantle the array.”

With less than fifty cosmic days remaining until the first half of the selection ended, and twenty cosmic days required just to travel from the central region to the border, the task of locating the core and dismantling the array was far from simple!

In that case, what do we do?” Ji Mengni pondered. “We don’t have time to venture to the eighth prison now. Should we concentrate on completing the challenging and nightmare missions here?”

No, there may be more than one way to unravel this unique mission,” Wang Ye assured them with a smile.

“You’re overthinking it.”

“I have a method that might just allow us to complete the mission with ease..”
