Spirit Realm

The violent electric current which enveloped his entire body, accompanied by the rumbling of heavenly thunder, followed his two hands and wildly surged towards Xie Jingxuan’s arms.

Instantly, lightning began to crackle on Xie Jingxuan’s two jade hands as the energy of heavenly lightning directly surged into her body like a river which had overflowed her banks.

Xie Jingxuan’s body instantly began to uncontrollably shake as traces of lightning leaked out from within the Blackscale Armor.

“Zzzt zzzt zzzt!”

The black soul lines which had covered her whole body like a vine suddenly began to break apart as it was attacked by the thunderbolts.

Xie Jingxuan’s arms and the skin on her neck once again became snow white.

Her eye which had been about to lose its light suddenly glowed with a radiance once more as she endured the thunderbolts ravaging her body. She controlled a portion of the energy of heavenly lightning and directed it straight into her mind.

“Boom!”

The moment the thunderbolt entered her mind, she suddenly calmed down, as if heavy shackles had just been blown apart.

Upon being struck by the surging thunderbolt, the soul of the Soul Devouring Beast which had entered the depths of her mind was no longer able to hide and suddenly began to wildly release an evil mind consciousness, crazily bombarding her soul.

An expression of blank helplessness surfaced within Xie Jingxuan’s eyes.

As if she had taken a heavy blow, she began to unconsciously mutter, “Daddy, don’t, don’t leave me, I’m afraid, I’m afraid…”

At this time, the Soul Suppressing Orb between Qin Lie’s brows suddenly began to shine with a radiance, directly shining into Xie Jingxuan’s eyes. From within the Soul Suppressing Orb emerged a mysterious suction force...

A pitch black soul strand was sucked out from Xie Jingxuan’s left eye, and the strand connected with the Soul Suppressing Orb between Qin Lie’s brows.

Wisp after wisp, strand after strand, the Soul Devouring Beast’s soul was directly pulled out from within Xie Jingxuan’s mind.

The Soul Suppressing Orb’s radiance suddenly greatly increased even further.

At the same time, a soul connection had seemingly been formed between Qin Lie and Xie Jingxuan.

As if he had entered Xie Jingxuan’s mind, Qin Lie was able to a witness a memory which had been deeply hidden within the depths of Xie Jingxuan’s memories. It was a most profound scene...

It was a dark red sky devoid of the sun, moon, and stars. The depressing, silent atmosphere was enough to cause anyone to go crazy.

Not even a single piece of vegetation could be seen atop the crimson red ground. Looking in the distance, all that could be seen were bare mountains, and littered between the mountains were massive humanoid and beast-like bones. Many of the bones were covered with dust and were already in the process of decaying, as if the mountains had been left unattended for ten thousand years.

Many exotic, Ghost Bird-like spirit beasts circled in the desolate sky, their cries resounding like a doomsday bell.

Right in the middle of a group of pure white spirit beast bones was a beautiful young girl wearing battle armor and wielding a short knife. Her small body was faintly trembling as tears emerged within her crystal clear eyes. She couldn’t contain her sobs as she begged, “Daddy, don’t, don’t leave me. I’m scared, I’m scared…”

“Jingxuan, no one can help you, you must live on by yourself.” A robust, imposing male figure with his back facing the little girl, gradually walked away. The man never turned his head, only indifferently saying, “If you cannot even handle the first level of the Nether Battlefield, then just die here and never return.”

Ignoring the bitter entreaties of the young girl, the man slowly walked away until he finally disappeared.

After the man disappeared, the girl wielding a short knife powerlessly crouched there, sobbing.

The sobs eventually attracted a ghastly looking spirit beast with strange thorns covering its body. Once this spirit beast appeared, it immediately opened its bloody maw and prepared bite down, wanting to swallow the delicious looking immature body in front of it.

Her eyes still extremely red and crying, the little girl wielded her short knife and began to fight against the spirit beast with great difficulty.

In the end, she won.

Her body was covered in blood, some from the spirit beast, some from herself. She sat beside the corpse of the spirit beast for a very long time.
