The reason Yang Haoran didn't explode into pieces after ingesting several Death Mark Seals consecutively is twofold. Firstly, the power contained within the Death Mark Seals did not fully erupt. The second reason is that some of the Yin Qi unleashed by the explosion of these Death Mark Seals was absorbed by Zhong Siyu, while more was incorporated into the blood-red eyeball, the one Yang Haoran swallowed.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Haoran managed to survive despite swallowing multiple Death Mark Seals. Otherwise, by now, he would have turned into bones, unable to survive up to this point.

Zhong Siyu's proposed method at this moment is for Yang Haoran to utilize the immense Yin Qi contained in the Death Mark Seals to open the heaven soul in one stroke!

Part of the Yin Qi from the ingested Death Mark Seals has been absorbed and converted into Yang Haoran's own Yin spirit power. Another portion has been devoured by Zhong Siyu and her blood-red eyeball. However, a significant amount is still suppressed by Zhong Siyu's power, persisting within the Death Mark Seals.

Despite Zhong Siyu's suppression, these ingested Death Mark Seals continue to emit intense Yin Qi constantly. If these bursts of Yin Qi are not dealt with promptly, Yang Haoran will ultimately be unable to avoid the fate of exploding into pieces.

"I'll first keep that stubborn Duda occupied. As for your success, it depends on you. If you don't want your soul to scatter, it's best not to fail."

In his mind, Zhong Siyu's voice resounds again, and Yang Haoran is in a state of urgency!

Opening the heaven soul is something he knows about, but the how-to, the techniques, and the areas to pay attention to are completely unknown to him. Before tonight, he had not made any efforts in this regard, as his strength was far from reaching the point of opening the heaven soul.

"How to open the heaven soul? I know little about this! Teach me!"

Yang Haoran hastily asks Zhong Siyu, hoping to gain useful information. However, Zhong Siyu's response disappoints him.

"Opening the soul is a method of your Yin Division. As a member of the Yin Division, you actually have the nerve to ask me? It's quite amusing, and given the current situation, do you think I have time to teach you? When your Yin spirit power reaches the point of opening the soul, the heaven soul can naturally be opened. It's a simple matter, but to successfully open the heaven soul before the soul-scattering needle extinguishes your soul and force the needle out of your body, that's challenging. Whether you succeed or not depends on some luck. Good luck."

Leaving behind these words, Zhong Siyu directly exits Yang Haoran's body, though the blood-red eyeball remains inside Yang Haoran and is not removed by her.

The Yin Qi constantly emanating from the several Death Mark Seals is exceptionally strong. If the blood-red eyeball is not left in Yang Haoran's body, his already battered flesh would instantly burst, with no chance of survival.

With the blood-red eyeball greedily absorbing the Yin Qi within, Yang Haoran manages to cling to life, but it's only barely. At this point, his body is falling apart, and the situation is quite dire.

As Zhong Siyu exits his body, his eyes return to normal, and the blood garment formed by Yin Qi disappears. He regains control over his body.

However, the moment he gains control over his body, he lets out a scream. His mangled flesh, resembling that of a meat chewed by a dog, plummets towards the ground.

Even with a strong will, he cannot endure the torture he is currently facing. The pain from the damaged flesh, coupled with the torment of the soul-scattering needle on his spiritsoul, makes it impossible for him to remain composed.

He didn't scream before because Zhong Siyu had control over his body, and she was the one enduring the pain, not him. Now that Zhong Siyu has returned control to Yang Haoran, he not only screams in agony but also cannot control his body's free fall. His shattered body descends from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Upon seeing the situation, Zhong Siyu waved her hand, and a surge of Yin Qi appeared beneath Yang Haoran's body. Like a black cloud, it lifted Yang Haoran's body. Without this intervention, Zhong Siyu had no doubt that Yang Haoran would have been fatally injured from the fall.

Under normal circumstances, such a fall wouldn't have affected Yang Haoran much since he could manipulate the Yin spirit power within his body to address such issues.

However, now, Yang Haoran has been tortured to the point of blurred consciousness. He has no awareness of how to mobilize Yin spirit power to protect his body. If he were to fall, given his current physical condition, he would undoubtedly shatter.

"He is obviously beyond saving in this state. Why waste energy on him?" Duda, covered in blood, remarked casually. As he spoke, the cracks on his body unexpectedly stopped bleeding, and the wounds began slowly healing. The power emanating from him became much stronger than before.

Moreover, this released power continued to grow with the passing of time!

Observing the changes in Duda, Zhong Siyu's face revealed a sinister smile. The blood-red eyes, when looking at Duda, displayed a hint of increased interest.

"You old guy hides pretty deep. Even at this point, you still have means to suppress the explosive power of the Death Mark Seals within your body. Not bad!"

Duda maintained a stoic expression, shook his head, and said, "Compared to you, I fall short. I only ingested one Death Mark Seal and used some means to slowly absorb the power within it. It's not that surprising. But you, you swallowed several Death Mark Seals, even Deng Feng's, the Burial Master's Death Mark Seal, and still didn't die. That's truly astonishing."

"Astonishing? Haha, what's there to be astonished about? Can't you see his miserable state? Do you think he can survive?" Zhong Siyu asked with a sinister smile.

Duda shook his head again and said, "Of course, he can't survive. Even if you left some means in the kid's body to temporarily suppress the power of the Death Mark Seals, I've already activated the soul-scattering needle. He's not far from his soul scattering. He can't survive. So, I suggest you don't waste your effort."

At this point, Duda did not immediately take action against Zhong Siyu. Instead, he scrutinized Zhong Siyu from top to bottom.

By suppressing the power of the Death Mark Seals within his body, he constantly released a portion of Yin Qi for self-absorption. Although the speed was slower, it wouldn't cause any harm to his body. Instead, as time passed, it would repair his body's injuries, restore the previous consumption of power, and even enhance his strength.

So, Zhong Siyu not taking action was exactly what he wanted. The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for him.

In contrast, Zhong Siyu, although her soul had received some recovery, the gap compared to her peak was still substantial. While absorbing the power within the Death Mark Seals could restore her soul, since the Death Mark Seals were inside Yang Haoran's body, her soul couldn't recover by absorbing their power without being connected to Yang Haoran's flesh.

From this perspective, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it was for him, with no downsides!

Looking at Zhong Siyu's sinister smile, Duda spoke again, "I don't know what method you used to suppress the power of the Death Mark Seals that erupted within you. But now that all the Death Mark Seals are in that kid's body, and your soul cannot recover, with your current strength, you're probably not my match."

Zhong Siyu extended her blood-red tongue, licked her lips, and smirked, "Not your match? Hehe, I'm not so sure about that."

"You've taken advantage of me, betrayed me, and even devoured my protective Yin spirit. I can overlook all of that between us because a life-and-death struggle benefits no one. However, I have a suggestion. If you agree, both of us can gain tremendous benefits tonight, and there's no need to continue fighting."

Duda's words seemed to pique Zhong Siyu's interest. She smirked and asked, "What suggestion? Speak."

"As long as you agree to become my protective Yin spirit and immediately sign a contract with me, then we have no reason to continue fighting. At that time, I will devour and refine all the Death Mark Seals. As a guardian Yin spirit, the benefits will be quite substantial for you."
