The soul devouring beast was capable of devouring all souls, including god souls. Unfortunately for the alien, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul had long taken a solid form, granting it the strength equivalent to a main body. In Xiang Shaoyun’s case, his soul was much stronger than his main body.
Recently, his soul had grown alongside his main body. He might not have fought much with his soul recently, but his soul had been constantly meditating in his head on the profundity of the various powers.
One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had been keeping his attention split. Thus, his soul had attained an unbelievably high mastery in the profundity of powers. When the soul devouring beast’s attack was about to land on Xiang Shaoyun’s soul, the soul abruptly opened its eyes. Two beams shot out from its eyes.
Life Strip!
That was the second time Xiang Shaoyun had unleashed that technique through his eyes. The first time he used it was against the tentacled monster. The soul devouring beast was unfortunate enough to be his soul’s second victim. The terrifying might of the death beams could deprive the life force of even Gods.
The strength of any life form would be greatly related to its life force. If one’s life force were to weaken, one’s strength would be adversely affected as well. One’s consciousness would also be greatly affected.
As the soul devouring beast’s life force withered away, his strength dropped, causing him great panic. Next, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul casually sent a slap toward the soul devouring beast. The casual slap seemed to focus the strength of the entire Imperial Nether Domain upon the alien.
“There, this is all the soul power in my Imperial Nether Domain. Devour it all if you can,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
His soul power took on a solid form before slamming into the soul devouring beast.
Boom!
The massive body of the alien cracked as he retreated in panic. He wanted to flee, but how could Xiang Shaoyun give him the chance to do so?
“With you, Gui Qi will be able to enter the God Realm,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile as he lifted the soul devouring beast.
He had initially planned to erase the alien’s consciousness before handing the alien over to Gui Qi, but Gui Qi stopped him, eager to devour the still conscious soul devouring beast. Because the next realm was so close, Gui Qi wanted to use this as an opportunity to push into the next realm.
After some hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun handed the alien’s soul over to Gui Qi. “I wish you a smooth breakthrough.”
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to resume slaughtering the remaining aliens, he saw that Song Tiandao and Ximen Xue were having a hard time resisting Blood Spirit. They were on the verge of being devoured by the alien. If Blood Spirit succeeded, he would probably gain the abilities of both Song Tiandao and Ximen Xue as well.
“Time to end things,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he opened the Nether Yin Gate and summoned four God Realm nether yin devils from it. The four devils were unleashed upon the other aliens.
With Xiang Shaoyun’s growth, the nether yin devils he could summon had grown stronger as well. He then released his soul clone and charged toward Blood Spirit.
To deal with this fellow, I need to use more strength. Even if it costs me the competition, I have to do it, thought Xiang Shaoyun to himself.
Sheng Zhengyi’s sacrifice had taught Xiang Shaoyun what righteousness meant. To rescue humanity was righteous, and a righteous one would be honored by the masses, like his master. Perhaps he did not aim to become such a selfless person, but he had to at least do enough to feel no shame when looking at himself in the mirror.
At the moment, both Song Tiandao and Ximen Xue had been disabled by Blood Spirit’s countless tentacles. Their saber and sword intents might have reached a level where they could become one with their weapons, but their saber and sword had been separated from them in the alien’s domain. In terms of strength alone, they were incomparable to Blood Spirit. Thus, they were unable to free themselves.
“Damn it! Will I die in the hands of this freak?” said Song Tiandao indignantly.
“Emotionlessness had severed all feelings. I have no fear,” said Ximen Xue fearlessly. He sank into a state of dao comprehension, sealing his entire body with countless blades. Not even the tentacles around him could pierce through the sword cocoon.
Ximen Xue was a genius swordmaster and also a sword fanatic. Nobody could sever their emotions as cleanly as him. Just as Song Tiandao was about to be killed, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul clone arrived. A palm reached out and shattered the Blood Jade Domain.
“Blood Spirit, let’s end things between us!” Xiang Shaoyun issued a final challenge to Blood Spirit.
When Blood Spirit sensed how terrifying Xiang Shaoyun was, astonishment covered his eyes as he asked, “This is your clone?”
“That’s right. My clone is stronger than my main body. I’m tired of you. Time to send you to the afterlife,” said Xiang Shaoyun grimly as he gazed at Blood Spirit with his Death Eyes.
Once again, the life-stripping ability appeared. When Blood Spirit sensed the threat to his life, he transformed into a phantom and vanished. At the same time, countless blood arrows appeared and shot toward Xiang Shaoyun.
“Bring it on. After taking some time to get used to all my abilities, I have mastered the abilities of the various races. Let’s see who among us is the stronger one,” said Blood Spirit in excitement.
“Xiang Shaoyun, be careful! This fellow is really strong!” reminded Song Tiandao.
“I know. He won’t be my match,” declared Xiang Shaoyun confidently.
“Hehe, give it a try, then,” said Blood Spirit with a sneer. He was finally going to fight seriously as well.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be serious before this, but he had been distracted trying to adapt to the various abilities he had. After all, he had devoured too much flesh and blood and had obtained too many abilities. He needed time to digest it all. Now that he was almost done, he could finally fully unleash his combat strength.
Crimson Heavens!
The Blood Jade Domain appeared and condensed into a ball of light that was unleashed upon Xiang Shaoyun. Crimson Heavens was a spatial battle technique Blood Spirit had gained after fusing all his abilities. There was no doubt that the bloody domain was terrifyingly destructive; its explosion had turned the area into a vacuum.
If Song Tiandao and Ximen Xue had been even a tiny bit slower in their escape, they would have already been killed. That was the attack of a true God, one that could kill even a third-stage God. Xiang Shaoyun was in the middle of the explosion. Would he be able to survive it?
In the very center of the explosion, a tai chi diagram abruptly appeared, a black and white spiral where the two colors were clearly separated from each other. A rebounding force appeared and was pushed to the limits as the damage of the explosion was diverted in all directions.
“You have indeed grown stronger, but I’m no longer the same person, either,” said Xiang Shaoyun as his soul charged Blood Spirit. A fist with three sigils revolving around it shot out.
Three Lives Fist!
