A terrifying suction force erupted from within the lightning pagoda.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, translucent souls ripped free and into the tower, their agonized shrieks piercing the heavens.
Countless bolts of lightning tore through their spirits. The agony of being torn apart from the soul was immeasurably greater than any suffering caused by blades or axes.

Liu Peiyuan watched helplessly as the lightning shredded one soul after another. His teeth clenched so hard they nearly shattered, his shoulders trembling.
What Li Guanqi did next almost made him act. Li Guanqi seized two heavenly flames with a wave of his hand and hurled them into the pagoda. Every soul inside burned. Some couldn’t endure the agony and self-detonated. Others tore their own souls apart trying to escape.
Li Guanqi watched coldly as every last soul shattered. Then, with a single hand seal, an overwhelming surge of divine consciousness flooded the pagoda.
Before Liu Peiyuan’s horrified gaze, Li Guanqi reversed his hand seals, and his voice, low and dreadful, rang out. “Gather Souls.”
