Chapter 4005: The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt |
In the sea of consciousness, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul was still firmly suppressed. He was forced into a corner.
At this stage, none of the three sovereign god artifact spirits could overpower the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy, but he could not fight back either. They were locked in a stalemate.
At this moment, a feeble soul hovered near the suppressive power created by the three sovereign god artifacts. It stared at the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul curiously in elation. Its eyes flickered with temptation like a hungry wolf circling a plump sheep.
The feeble soul was one of the seven experts who dwelled inside Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, Su Le!
“What are you looking for me for?” Jian Chen’s voice rang out. Shortly afterwards, an illusionary figure condensed within the sea of consciousness.
“Sect master, are you planning on destroying this person’s soul or making him submit?” Su Le’s voice rang out. Her feminine voice sounded quite magnetic, making it extremely pleasant to the ear.
Shortly afterwards, her soul changed as well. It turned into a winged woman only the size of a palm. As her golden wings fanned gently, she radiated with rings of golden haze, which seemed to be filled with a sense of holiness.
Jian Chen glanced at the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul before looking at Su Le again. “You’re interested in him?”
Su Le’s eyes shone brightly with a sense of excitement. “Sect master, if you plan on destroying this soul, then we have an even better idea. Not only will it deal with this issue for you, but you can even make use of it in a better way.”
Jian Chen had tried persuasion, but the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul refused to acknowledge him. He was a prideful expert, unafraid of death.
As for destroying him, Jian Chen still was not capable of that.
“We can devour his soul and use his soul to help us recover,” said Su Le. Her eyes were filled with desire. The way she looked at the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul was as if he was highly nutritional food.
“You can even devour his soul?” Jian Chen was surprised. Devouring souls could not be achieved by just anyone, much less devouring the soul of an expert at such a high level.
At the very least, the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt who had already recovered his cultivation at the Fourth Heavenly Layer was powerless over the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul.
It was not because the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt was weak. The disparity between the Fourth Heavenly Layer and the Seventh Heavenly Layer was simply too large. There was a qualitative difference, one that could not be circumvented.
“If it’s just me, then no. After all, I’m too weak right now. With the strength of this soul, it probably won’t be me devouring him but him devouring me. However, there is someone among us who can because this is one of his innate abilities,” said Su Le.
“Who is he?” Jian Chen followed up.
“The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt!” Su Le said.
Jian Chen’s gaze immediately locked onto one of the six souls and awakened it.
The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt’s soul was also very feeble. He appeared as a palm-sized middle-aged man. He had a very bulky build, thick in the waist and the shoulders. He gave off a brawny presence.
“Hmm? I didn’t expect another fellow in the same circumstance to actually be trapped here.” When the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt discovered the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul, he was immediately surprised. There was also a hint of sympathy as someone in the same predicament.
“Eternal Peace, this is a great opportunity for us. It’ll all come down to whether you’re willing to put in the work.” Su Le told the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt about her thoughts.
The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt’s eyes shone brightly. He was extremely elated. He looked at Jian Chen eagerly with surprise. “Sect master, are you really willing to give this soul to us? This is a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. If you can get him to submit to you, he’ll be of great assistance.”
“This person would rather die than submit. Since that’s the case, I’ll just give him to you,” Jian Chen said generously. Using the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul to help the seven souls recover some of their strength was already the best way to deal with this issue. It was not wasteful at all.
However, as Jian Chen looked at the feeble Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt before him, he could not help but have some second thoughts. “Though with your current ability, are you really able to devour this soul?”
The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt smiled rather awkwardly. “Definitely not in one go, but I can if I take my time. Although my soul is very weak right now, I was still an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime in the past. Meanwhile, devouring his soul doesn’t come down to my strength but my natural ability.”
“Eternal Peace, I’ll lend you a hand. Let’s do this!” Su Le said rather impatiently.
Shortly afterwards, Su Le appeared behind the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt. She pressed her hand against his back gently and used a secret technique to channel the power of her soul into him.
The Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt was stern. With Su Le’s support, the power of his soul immediately increased. Afterwards, he sucked in a deep breath as a strange power surged out. He directly targeted the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul.
When this power appeared, Jian Chen shivered inside. He felt like his own soul had become slightly unstable.
At this moment, he even developed the feeling that if the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt used this innate ability to devour his soul, even he would not be able to stop it.
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul seemed to sense something. His soul fluctuated violently as pulses of power that were enough to startle Jian Chen surged out. If it were not from the suppression of the three sovereign god artifacts, Jian Chen would not have been able to withstand this power.
The Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy’s soul seemed to be greatly threatened. His soul rapidly compressed together, becoming extremely consolidated. It seemed impregnable.
But in the end, he was not able to maintain his guard. A feeble wisp of the power of his soul was stripped away, hovering before the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt.
The power of this wisp of soul was around the strength of a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal’s.
However, this loss to the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy was no different from losing a hair on his body.
“We’ve succeeded!” Su Le’s eyes lit up. She saw hope.
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. Despite the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt’s current feeble state, he had still managed to strip something from an expert as powerful as the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy. He could not even guard against it. Such an innate ability shocked Jian Chen.
“Who are you?”
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Clear and Cloudy spoke up. A blurry face appeared in his soul, staring straight at the Eternal Peace Daemon Exalt. His eyes shone with a chilling light, naturally radiating with a sense of importance.
