Yu Lin said in disbelief, "You have a magnetic spiritual root? How is that possible? Magnetic roots are one in ten thousand. How could someone like you, a scheming and underhanded trickster, possess such a rare root? And before reaching the Deity Transformation stage, a magnetic root could never have this kind of power. Who exactly are you? You cannot possibly be Xiao Shou’s unknown disciple."

"Who said I only have a magnetic root?" Fu Young replied as he walked forward. "I have eight spiritual roots within me: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, magnetism, and ice. You should feel lucky that last time I only used a small trick on you. Normally, if I just use my brain, my enemies still have a chance to live. But if I take action, there is only death."

As he spoke, within the magnetic force binding Yu Lin, seven other elemental energies appeared: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and ice.

These seven attributes blended perfectly with the magnetic force, with magnetism as the core.

Fu Young watched as Yu Lin remained completely unable to resist under his specially controlled magnetic field, her body weakening as she was slowly compressed.

It felt like an overwhelming force, not just tens of thousands of pounds, but hundreds of millions pressing in from all directions.

Yu Lin tried to struggle, but she had no strength at all.

She could only watch as Fu Young approached step by step, his aura deep as an abyss, calm yet unbearably heavy.

At that moment, she could think of nothing.

Under that abyss like gaze, she felt only the terror of death.

The fear made her scream wildly, though only a faint sound came out. "Why? Why are you killing me? Have I ever harmed you?"

"Since you are about to die, I can tell you," Fu Young said. "Your recent reckless actions have caused my Master a great deal of trouble. That is all."

He raised his hand, about to deliver the final blow.

Fu Young’s words overlapped with certain scenes from the secret realm in Yu Lin’s mind.

In her madness, a sudden realization struck her and she burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha... so you are just a lovestruck disciple. What a pity. No matter how much you like him, it is useless. He already belongs to someone else. His Dao companion from his past life has been searching for him, and that person is incredibly powerful. So powerful that a single finger could erase you. He will return to that person very soon... hahaha... I would love to see if you can still act so confident in front of that great figure."

"Explain yourself clearly, and I might spare your life."

Fu Young’s previously calm expression suddenly shifted into a bright youthful smile.

On his strikingly handsome face appeared a cruel yet oddly innocent look as if something unhinged had surfaced.

"If you do not speak, I will take good care of you. I guarantee you will beg to live and be unable to die."

As he spoke, he slightly loosened the pressure of the magnetic field and smiled as he watched the disheveled Yu Lin.

Facing Fu Young’s threat, Yu Lin showed an even more unhinged expression and said, "You really like your master, don’t you? You really want to know about his past and present life? Hahaha... who would tell you? Just keep wondering. Wait for the day you are crushed to death by that great figure... hahaha... hahaha... die, die, die..."

"Bang!"

While cursing madly, Yu Lin suddenly gave a strange grin.

Her body swelled slightly, then exploded with a loud bang.

However, due to the compression of Fu Young’s magnetic field, what should have been a violent explosion was forcibly suppressed.

Flesh, blood, fragments of magic treasures, and broken storage bracelets were all compressed into a single mass, forming a grotesque and nauseating clump.

Such a shocking scene would have startled anyone, yet Fu Young showed no change in expression.

He even kept smiling with his arms crossed as he looked at the mangled mass and said, "It seems you forgot what I said. If you do not speak, you will beg to live and be unable to die. Did you think acting crazy would make me ignore you and let you escape?"

There was no response.

Everything was silent as if he were just a madman talking to a pile of flesh.

But Fu Young merely clicked his tongue and said, "Looks like there really are people in this world who refuse to shed tears until they see the coffin. Then let me show you what true hell looks like. I hope you can hold on a bit longer... what a pity."

After saying that, he began to toy with the magnetic sphere.

He continuously attacked the mass inside with countless wind blades, ice arrows, boiling water, wooden spikes, fire scythes, metal blades, and earthen hammers.

After playing with it for a while, he changed methods.

He perfectly balanced all eight elemental energies into mutually conflicting states, using their opposing forces as power, grinding and twisting the mass inside like minced meat.

After reaching this point, he seemed to grow bored.

A devilish smile appeared on his face as he poked the magnetic sphere and said, "Hey, you can stop pretending now. From the moment I trapped you, I already sensed that you did not form a spirit pet contract with the Seven Deadly Sins. You devoured it, gaining all its abilities and traits, then split yourself into countless fragments to fake your death. Not a bad idea, but it will not fool me."

"Is this what you call being clever? Then I will remove the Seven Deadly Sins from your flesh and blood. Compared to your current half-human, half-ghost state, it is much more interesting to torture a proper human body. What do you think? To be honest, I have been tortured before, so I know it is not pleasant. I do not really enjoy doing this. But when necessary, it does not matter. I am much better at this than that person."
