Peerless Taoist

That mysterious power took advantage of the fact that they were still alive to suddenly extract their souls.    

This was an extremely cruel method. Many people felt that their souls had been forcibly extracted, and they were completely powerless. In the end, their souls left their bodies amidst the pain of being cut into pieces.    

"Here!"    

Lu Yu's eyes fell on an inconspicuous stone house in the middle of the crowd.    

This stone house looked very inconspicuous. It was built with bricks and looked like it was temporarily used to imprison humans.    

However, the monstrous devilish energy in all directions was emitted from this inconspicuous little stone house.    

Lu Yu used the method in 'Hidden' to predict the approximate direction of the altar. It was precisely this place in front of him.    

"Open!"    

Lu Yu suddenly punched out, shattering the stone house in an instant.    

The stone house shattered, but Lu Yu's fist force seemed to be blocked by a mysterious force, unable to move forward at all.    

Devil Qi that soared into the sky erupted from the stone house, lingering in all directions. It was pitch black and filled with an endless stench of blood.    

Inside, there was an altar made of hundreds of bones.    

On top of the altar, rows of skulls were piled up into a small mountain. It seemed that too many people had died. There were faint cries of ghosts and howls in the air, making it seem sinister and terrifying.    

"Aaaaaaah! It hurts, it hurts! Someone save me! "    

"I feel like I'm going to die!"    

From within the black fog, the screams of souls could be heard.    

This was the person who had his soul forcefully taken away by the mysterious power of the altar.    

At this moment, these souls were suffering from endless torment within the altar.    

Those who could be captured by the ancient demon were mostly residents of the nearby tribes, or soldiers who were wandering around. Their strength was not that strong. They were simply unable to break free from the bindings of the altar.    

Among them, there were also some Demonic Beasts. They had lived in this oasis for a long time, and thought that they were safe and sound. However, they had been corroded by the devilish energy for a long time, and had become the puppets of the ancient demon.    

Those miserable cries only lasted for a very short period of time before they came to an abrupt stop.    

When Meng Shuai saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but crack open. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is the altar that they used to summon the devil ancestor. They actually used the souls of living people!"    

"Brother Lu Yu, let's work together and shatter this altar!"    

Lu Yu nodded his head. Golden light had already emerged from his palm.    

There was already a faint spatial force circulating on the altar. It was guiding a certain expert from the Upper Realm to descend.    

Even with Lu Yu's current strength, he could feel that it was quite troublesome.    

In an instant, Lu Yu and the other experts simultaneously cast their spells on the altar.    

Rumble!    

A loud sound echoed in all directions.    

Everyone suddenly felt dizzy. The altar in front of them seemed to have a series of illusions, it was a bit hard to figure it out.    

The generals and reverends were all thrown around, unable to stand stably.    

Only General Meng's expression was slightly better, and he could fight side by side with Lu Yu.    

"This is... The devil ancestor inside the altar is about to appear!" Meng Shuai was extremely shocked.    

Everyone could already vaguely hear the sounds of chanting scriptures from within the altar.    

Those scriptures were obscure and difficult to understand, and they were extremely evil. Just listening to a few sentences, the few people present felt dizzy, and even many distracting thoughts appeared in their minds.
