Chapter 1545: To Lure a Snake From Its Hole

Not long ago, the Soul Devouring Beast, Latiff, and Malcolm had laid down a trap at Heavenly Yin Valley and nearly enslaved the Genesis Realm expert’s souls of the six great forces .

However, the trap had failed due to their concentrated barrage .

After that, Malcolm and Latiff had discarded their Soul Beast avatars and soul traveled to Sky Bearing City directly .

In the end, they were refined into soul orbs by Lieyan Yuan and trapped inside the fourth level of the Soul Suppressing Orb . The Soul Devouring Beast, Xillin, was able to escape back to the Profound Yin Nether Sea .

The Profound Yin Nether Sea was one of the strangest places in the entire world . Only a handful of people knew about its secrets, and not even the Flame Emperor or the Ice Emperor dared to venture into the Profound Yin Nether Sea to fight Xillin .

Just the same, Qin Lie couldn’t travel too deep into the Profound Yin Nether Sea as well . All he could do was leave his Dark Soul Beast avatar behind to guard this place .

Since his true self was soon to leave Spirit Realm, the Dark Soul Beast avatar thought that this was a good time to learn a couple of things through Xillin and realize his objective .

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Clumps of gray clouds surged up into the sky of Heavenly Yin Valley and blocked the sunlight .

A moment later, Heavenly Yin Valley had become a dark, lightless place as wisps of cold air flowed out of the hole that led to the Profound Yin Nether Sea .

One by one, phantoms wriggled out of the hole as pitch black water filled up the pond once more .

Xillin, the Soul Devouring Beast made up of souls, slowly rose up from the pond .

“Bang!”

In an instant, a strange soul barrier covered up Heavenly Yin Valley once more . Any living being who dared to pass through the barrier blindly would quickly find their body and soul separated .

Without their physical body, any living thing who was trapped inside this valley was nothing more than Xillin’s food . They wouldn’t be able to resist .

After Xillin had risen from the pond, he shot the Dark Soul Beast a cold glance before fixing its gaze onto the other two Soul Beasts .

No soul was possessing Malcolm and Latiff’s Soul Beast avatar right now .

“Did something happen to those two fellows?” asked Xillin in the language of the Soul Race .

“They’d both been absorbed into the Soul Suppressing Orb by me,” admitted Qin Lie .

Greenish soul flame suddenly appeared in Xillin’s pupils as its body turned illusory .

In just the blink of an eye, Xillin had assumed the form of a human soul .

It looked just like any other human soul, except it was brimming with a yin soul aura .

“Why is the master’s Soul Suppressing Orb in your hands?” Xillin yelled fiercely .

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

The phantoms inside the pitch black pond suddenly turned into snakes and whipped at Qin Lie’s Dark Soul Beast avatar like gray brownish whips .

At the same time, Xillin’s soul had turned blurry as well .

“Pu!”

A strange noise came from the head area of Malcolm’s discarded Soul Beast avatar .

It was the sound of a soul barrier being hit by something .

Sparks of lightning flew out of the corner of the Soul Beast’s eyes .

“Whoosh!”

Xillin’s soul shadow abruptly flashed away from the Soul Beast’s nose .

Then, Xillin tried to do the same thing to Latiff’s discarded Soul Beast avatar . However, he was thwarted in the exact same way .

Xillin’s soul shadow floated between the two Soul Beast avatars .

It seemed to be snarling in pain because it had caught a bit of lightning during its attempts .

Lately, Xillin had been observing the Heavenly Yin Valley in secret through his souls .

He knew that Qin Lie, the Dark Soul Beast avatar, and the human experts who were guarding this valley had been gradually leaving .

He also knew that the only ones who could really threaten him—the Flame Emperor, the Ice Emperor, Hua Tianqiong, and so on—had left even earlier than that .

He was certain that the only person left in this valley was the Dark Soul Beast, a Soul Race clansman at the same rank as he was .

The two masterless Soul Beast avatars were the puppets of his dreams . He had been wondering how to best snatch one of them from the Dark Soul Beast for himself .

He had been gathering the power of the Profound Yin Nether Sea bit by bit inside Heavenly Yin Valley . He had been worried that Qin Lie would try something sneaky while he was filling up the pond with pitch black water and gathering his soul .

But Qin Lie hadn’t interrupted him once while he was gathering his strength . After he had gathered his strength completely, he suddenly felt good about his chances and acted immediately .

He would rob a Soul Beast avatar for himself!

Unfortunately, both his attempts had been thwarted by Qin Lie’s soul barrier .

Moreover, the soul barrier protecting the Soul Beasts’ minds contained the full power of Qin Lie’s rank ten subsoul and his lightning secret art .

Lightning was extremely effective against a pure soul like Xillin .

It was why Xillin had failed both his attempts to enter the Soul Beast avatar’s mind and take over their bodies .

“When did you lay down thunder and lightning in their minds?” Xillin howled .

“You didn’t dare to watch Heavenly Yin Valley with your souls at all times, did you?” Qin Lie’s Dark Soul Beast avatar summoned the white bone scythe and swung a couple of times casually . It easily cut the giant snakes made of souls into pieces .

The terrible screams of souls filled the valley .

“It looks like your soul isn’t complete,” said Qin Lie thoughtfully as he observed Xillin’s soul shadow . “Or maybe I should say that you’d taken up too much phantom energy in order to return to rank ten soulline as soon as possible . That is why you’re so afraid of thunder and lightning, aren’t you?”

To Qin Lie’s knowledge, a true Soul Race clansman was partially immune to thunder and lightning .

The Soul Race was the only race in the entire world that was partially immune to thunder and lightning .

If they weren’t, they would’ve been easily destroyed by thunder and lightning while they were traveling the world in pure soul form . The Soul Race wouldn’t qualify as a transcendent bloodline race either .

A rank ten Soul Race clansman should be able to take a couple of hits from the lightning pool of the Ninth Heaven even in pure soul form .

However, Xillin was smoking like crazy when Qin Lie’s true self summoned a barrage of lightning . A true rank ten Soul Race clansman shouldn’t have suffered like that .

This made Qin Lie suspect that Xillin hadn’t actually recovered to full all this time .

That was why Qin Lie had left a thunder and lightning trap inside both the Soul Beasts’ minds . It was to confirm his suspicions .

If this level of thunder and lightning was enough to wound Xillin, then his suspicions must be correct .

“That’s right, I hadn’t fully recovered yet . ” Xillin calmed down after realizing that there was no way he could possess either Soul Beasts . “In fact, I couldn’t even leave Heavenly Yin Valley for an extended period of time, or I wouldn’t be the way I am now or stay in the Profound Yin Nether Sea without acting all this time . ”

“On the other hand, no one can harm me if I choose to hide in the Profound Yin Nether Sea forever . ”

While saying this, Xillin’s soul shadow slowly vanished into nothing .

The Xillin inside the pitch black pond at the center of Heavenly Yin Valley grew clearer instead .

When the soul shadow floating in between the Soul Beast avatar had vanished completely, a new Xillin had appeared inside the pond .

“I can give you a Soul Beast avatar, you know . ” Qin Lie smiled at Xillin before saying, “I can even free you from Heavenly Yin Valley so that you can travel the world anywhere you wish once more . ”

“What is your condition?” said Xillin with a snort .

“I want you to swear your loyalty, just like before,” declared Qin Lie .

Suddenly, the Dark Soul Beast avatar’s greenish eyes burned up in greenish flames .

His soul energy had become strange and unpredictable as well .

“My lord! Is that you?” exclaimed Xillin in excitement .
