Chapter 1366: Forceful
The secret realm entrance Pei Tianchong had created was forcefully destroyed by Crimson Blood Ape King.
There was literally nothing Pei Tianchong and the martial pract.i.tioners of Ninth Heaven could do to stop a middle rank ten bloodline expert, the equal of a middle stage Genesis Realm expert, like Crimson Blood Ape King.
Ancient Beast Realm was extremely far away from Spirit Realm. Moreover, the Ancient Beast Race had shut down their own realm entrances. Therefore, it would take the six great forces at least decades before they could reach Ancient Beast Realm.
By then, the G.o.d Race would’ve arrived at Spirit Realm already. There was no mistaking the signs.
The six great forces needed their full strength to repel the G.o.d Race’s invasion, so there was no way they could Ancient Beast Realm until the G.o.d Race was gone.
That was why the Beast King of the Ancient Beast Race, Crimson Blood Ape King didn’t fear Pei Tianchong’s threat in the slightest.
The star door Qin Lie had created with the Eight-eyed Demon Spirit’s bloodline continued to s.h.i.+ne brightly.
“Come.”
A gigantic lizard the size of a mountain range roared and burst out of the star door in response to Qin Lie’s summon.
“The Lizard Progenitor!”
Pei Tianchong’s expression changed the moment the giant lizard came out of the star door. Suddenly, he realized that his plans for the Lizard Realm must’ve failed completely.
“Master.”
The Lizard Progenitor greeted Qin Lie in a humble and respectful tone after he emerged from the star door. He didn’t try to hide the fact that he was Qin Lie’s soul servant.
“Ah!”
All the spectators gathered around the wall including Qin Ye was stunned by this outcome. They were all staring at Qin Lie in puzzlement.
“This giant lizard…” Qin Ye stopped struggling and looked at Miao Yizi in a daze. He wanted to know what was going on.
“Qin Lie had refined the Lizard Progenitor into his soul servant at the Lizard Realm. He now obeys Qin Lie and Qin Lie only,” Miao Yizi explained.
“Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing are b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! They didn’t tell me anything!” Qin Ye swore.
Miao Yizi’s eyes were smiling. “Maybe it’s because they wanted to give you a pleasant surprise. After all, you were the one who held the highest expectations for Qin Lie back then, weren’t you? Three hundred years have pa.s.sed, and Qin Lie has truly turned over a new leaf and met your expectations. They were all hoping that this revelation would make you happy.”
Miao Yizi let go of Qin Ye.
Qin Ye slowly calmed down after Qin Lie had used Star Door to summon the Soul Beast, Crimson Blood Ape King, Heavenly Blue Snake King and finally the Lizard Progenitor to his aid.
Considering all the power Qin Lie had brought, it was clear that he had the upper hand firmly in his grasp.
“That Soul Beast is Qin Lie’s avatar. It makes no difference if the Soul Beast were to kill Zu Han in Qin Lie’s stead.” Miao Yizi said indifferently.
Qin Ye’s eyes suddenly brightened with spirit.
“Lizard Progenitor, capture Pei Tianchong for me. Remember, I want him alive,” Qin Lie said.
“Understood!” The Lizard Progneitor let out a roar and started swimming his way towards Pei Tianchong like a walking disaster.
“What about us?” Crimson Blood Ape King asked in surprise.
“Just grab a seat and watch the show.” Qin Lie grinned.
At the same time, countless Soul Race secret characters appeared in his Soul Beast avatar’s bluish green pupils. They looked like the infinite stars in the sky.
“Soul Devouring!”
The Soul Beast opened its mouth as a pitch black whirlpool appeared inside it, creating a terrific suction force that pulled one’s very soul.
Zu Han’s expression changed because his six-level Soul Altar was being forcefully pulled out of his glabella. His Soul Altar was shaped like a spiral with soul threads weaving in and out of the structure.
At the center of the spiral-shaped Soul Altar was Zu Han’s soul. It was the very foundation of his spirit, body and mind.
After Qin Lie’s Soul Beast avatar had activated its soul devouring ability, his soul origin was actually being pulled out of his Soul Altar bit by bit, as if it was a piece of metal that was being attracted by a giant magnet. It threatened to slip out of Zu Han’s grasp and fall into that pitch black whirlpool.
The spinning whirlpool that looked like a black hole frightened Zu Han at an instinctual level.
Zu Han was Reincarnation Sect’s pope, so the Soul Beasts that once wreaked havoc on Spirit Realm had left a deep impression in him. He knew full well that every Soul Beast possessed the ability to devour a living being’s soul and wipe out their soul mark completely.
Even if he was a master in the art of reincarnation, he wouldn’t get the chance to enter the cycle and reincarnate back to life if the Soul Beast managed to refine the very mark of his soul origin completely.
Afraid for his life, Zu Han suddenly shouted, “Reincarnation Sect can give you anything the Qin Family had offered you! With our aid, you’ll be able to return to your peak in no time! The G.o.d Race is about to arrive, and I know that the Soul Beasts think of the G.o.d Race as sworn enemies. Back then, the G.o.d Race were the ones who killed you all, and the Qin Family is currently colluding with the G.o.d Race! The only fate that’s waiting for you is death if you continue to work with the Qin Family!”
Zu Han kept shouting and persuading the Soul Beast to betray the Qin Family and take revenge against the G.o.d Race.
Unfortunately for him, he had no idea that that Soul Beast was Qin Lie himself.
“Hehe, your persuasion is finally on point, but unfortunately for you you still haven’t figured out who you’re really dealing with.” Qin Lie shook his head before he sent out another mental order.
His second Soul Beast flew out of the Star Door and let out a throaty roar as well.
His second Soul Beast was still regrowing its body, and due to insufficient refined flesh and blood energy it hadn’t grown out its skin or flesh just yet. That was why it looked b.l.o.o.d.y and absolutely horrifying.
Its bluish green eyes looked exactly the same as the first Soul Beast’s though. It was a clear indicator that it was another Soul Beast that had survived to this day.
“His name is Meio. He hails from Ancient Beast Realm, and he used to be the Blood Soul Beast.” Qin Lie grinned. “Right now he lacks the refined flesh and blood energy and powerful souls necessary to regrow his body and soul.”
“Swoos.h.!.+”
His second subsoul—blood red in color—flew out of the Blood Soul Beast’s carca.s.s and slipped into Zu Han’s Soul Altar in an instant.
At the same time, six strange starlights winked out of Qin Lie’s glabella before vanis.h.i.+ng into nothingness.
The Spirits of Void and Chaos had entered into the incorporeal state the moment they left the Soul Suppressing Orb. It looked like they turned invisible.
“Ah!”
Stunned, Zu Han suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream as his face and his Soul Altar started to distort all of a sudden.
“The Spirits of Void and Chaos! It’s the Spirits of Void and Chaos!”
His spiral-shaped Soul Altar suddenly started to swell up like a balloon. The interior of his Soul Altar shook violently as if there were demons rampaging inside it.
The spirit, body, and mind inside Zu Han’s Soul Altar started diminis.h.i.+ng at a rapid pace.
At the same time, Zu Han’s actual body started crumpling at a visible rate in complete contrast to his swelling Soul Altar. He suddenly turned dispirited and listless, almost as if something had sucked out his very flesh, blood, and bones.
