Chapter 987: City Lord Manor
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
Without a doubt, an attack from a Primordial Spirit was extremely frightening . It could easily crush or even devour a soul . No matter how powerful one's defense was, it was extremely difficult to guard one's soul .
This was precisely the reason why a Primordial Spirit realm expert was extremely frightening, far beyond that of an Embryonic Soul realm cultivator .
When the Waterleaf King found himself poisoned and had his cultivation sealed, he knew that there was no way he would be getting out of here alive . Thus, he used a secret art to forcefully draw his Primordial Spirit out of his physical body, intending to devour the enemy's soul whole as his final act of valor .
But when he dived into the other party's body and saw the soul within, he nearly died of shock .
The other party's soul was more than ten meters tall, and it commanded an aura of inviolable authority, reminiscent of the will of the heavens . Standing before it, he felt so pressured by the presence that it seemed like his mind would break at any moment .
"How . . . how could this be possible? How could anyone possibly have such a huge soul?"
The Waterleaf King couldn't help but fly into a hysteria .
An ordinary Nascent Saint cultivator would have cultivated his soul, but it would only be at the elementary level of just being able to wield the power of the world . To make a comparison, it should have been nothing more than an infant before his .
But . . . what the heck was this?
More than ten meters tall, reminiscent of a massive mountain . . . and more importantly, there wasn't the slightest bit of coldness or yin energy from it . On the contrary, it even carried a radiant tinge of lightning on it . Putting aside devouring that soul, it would be a huge blessing if he could avoid being devoured by it . . .
Could it be that . . . the fellow before him wasn't a Nascent Saint but a Saint 5-dan or even 6-dan expert?
Otherwise, how could he have such a powerful soul?
He had thought that by going all out, he would at least be able to force the other party to pay a heavy price for his actions . Yet, who could have thought that the other party's soul was far stronger than his? There was no way he could match that monstrous thing before him!
Why must reality be so cruel . . .
"Flee!"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to win, the Waterleaf King turned around and ran away without any hesitation .
But before he could get away, his body suddenly froze . Following which, a massive hand wrapped around his waist, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from it .
"Soul Search!"
Grabbing the Primordial Spirit before him, Zhang Xuan uttered coldly .
It would have been extremely difficult for him to kill a Primordial Spirit realm expert using normal means had the other party not attempted to infiltrate his body with his Primordial Spirit . However, since the other party had done so, the rest was simple .
Flowing through his body was the incredibly powerful Heaven's Path zhenqi, and on top of that, there was a Library of Heaven's Path sitting within him . Even Vicious was no match for it, so how well could a mere Primordial Spirit possibly fare before it?
In just an instant, the other party was already screaming in agony, as if he had been dropped in a pot of oil .
"Young master, don't kill that fellow . Leave his Primordial Spirit to me, I have a use for it!" Just as Zhang Xuan was about to conduct a Soul Search, Vicious abruptly spoke up .
"Leave his Primordial Spirit to you?"
"Yes . Consuming the Primordial Spirit of an Otherworldly Demon King can help me recover faster…" At which, Vicious hurriedly added, "Don't worry, young master . I will make sure to squeeze every last bit of information that you want to know from him!"
"Alright then . " Since Vicious had guaranteed it, Zhang Xuan nodded and passed the Waterleaf King's Primordial Spirit over to him .
Leaving Vicious to be, he returned his consciousness to his physical body .
Exhaling deeply, it was only then did Zhang Xuan realize that he had broken out in cold sweat .
In truth, he was truly in a perilous situation for a moment there . Had the Waterleaf King decided to clash with him directly instead of foolishly slipping into his body in hopes of killing him faster, there was no saying who would be the ultimate victor .
While Zhang Xuan's soul was indeed extremely large, it was still a little off from comparing up to a Primordial Spirit . After all, the difference between the two lay not just in their sizes but their level of existence as well .
The only reason why Zhang Xuan was able to emerge victorious was due to the overwhelming advantage he wielded in his body .
It seemed like he really had to be a little bit more careful when dealing with Primordial Spirit realm experts in the future .
Glancing at the corpse of the Waterleaf King, Zhang Xuan hooked his finger, and a storage ring flew into his grasp .
Immersing his consciousness within, he saw a huge mountain of treasures within . There must be at least several thousand high-tier spirit stones within the pile .
Most likely, he is on some kind of mission, just like the Goldenleaf King and Greenleaf King, that's why he has so many high-tier spirit stones on him… Zhang Xuan thought as his eyes lit up .
Regardless of what the other party's aim was, he had definitely made a killing with this sum of high-tier spirit stones .
He continued browsing through the other items in the storage ring, and there were a handful of secret manuals relating to the soul . However, just like those that the other two Kings had, their content was very bizarre and vague .
Casually flipping through those secret manuals, he found himself unable to make sense out of them . At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind .
Compile!
Compiling the soul cultivation technique manuals he had obtained from the three Otherworldly Demon Kings, a new book was formed .
He flipped open the new book and began browsing through it .
A moment later, his eyes lit up .
"To think that it works…"
He thought that due to the innate differences between humans and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, their soul cultivation techniques would be useless towards him . However, after compiling many of them together, he realized that it was still possible to form a perfect Heaven's Path Soul Art through it .
"From the looks of it, even though the soul cultivation techniques of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe differs from that of the humans, they are headed towards the same destination and possesses similar effects…" Zhang Xuan nodded in realization .
The original version of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe's soul cultivation techniques was extremely bizarre . Based on his deduction, it was very likely that one could go berserk from cultivating it . . . However, thinking about it again, it might just be another different school of soul cultivation, one that was vastly different from that of the humans .
There were many different schools to interpreting cultivation, but the ultimate destination was the same .
Compile!
