Austin’s soul fragments eventually vanished completely like the wind.
All the tiny purple dots had converged in Ling Yus.h.i.+ and become her inheritance imprint.
Ling Yus.h.i.+ positively glowed with health and vigor like she was undergoing a complete transformation. Both her bloodline activity and her growing soul had stunned the Flame Emperor and the Ice Emperor deeply.
Some time later, Ling Yus.h.i.+ gave Qin Lie’s Dark Soul Beast avatar a bright smile before closing her eyes and sitting on the ground.
With Qin Shan by her side and Nether City around her, she was unafraid to absorb the soul imprints into her bloodline and her soul.
At the same time, the glow in the eyes of Qin Lie’s Dark Soul Beast avatar slowly dimmed.
However, the dimmer the light became, the more the Ice Emperor and the Flame Emperor felt like Qin Lie was returning to himself…
Qin Lie finally came back to himself completely after his soul had become weakened.
The iciness and savagery in his eyes had also completely vanished.
“Qin Lie…”
The Ice Emperor called out to Qin Lie, trying to confirm that the boy had completely regained his consciousness.
“I’m fine,” Qin Lie replied before he slowly laid down on the ground and pondered.
Just now, his rank ten subsoul had been able to build an immediate connection with the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Moreover, the Soul Suppressing Orb had reacted intensely when it learned that his target was the former Nether Monarch, Austin.
The Soul Suppressing Orb had summoned a gigantic soul magnetic field immediately and influenced his rank ten subsoul.
After that, he felt like the Soul Suppressing Orb had possessed him and attacked Austin’s Nine Soul h.e.l.l with a secret art he hadn’t learned yet.
In that instant, he saw countless rays of light cutting the Nine Soul h.e.l.l into pieces repeatedly.
Austin’s soul fragments instantly crumbled under the the soul blades’ attack.
Not even the core of his soul had been able to endure the Soul Suppressing Orb’s cutting power.
Finally, Austin’s remnant soul crumbled and dissolved into countless light dots.
These light dots were all imprinted with the secret truth of “Soul h.e.l.l”. When they felt Ling Yus.h.i.+’s bloodline presence, they instinctively moved towards her and melted into her body.
The Soul Suppressing Orb used up too much of Qin Lie’s too much soul energy after annihilating Austin. He was so tired he felt like he could sleep any moment.
He even lost his connection with the Soul Suppressing Orb because he was too spent.
“Come here!” Qin Shan shouted at Qin Lie.
Qin Lie shot Qin Shan a surprised glance before forcing himself to activate a bloodline secret art and transform into his human self.
He walked towards Qin Shan, the Ice Emperor, and the Flame Emperor after the transformation was complete.
Right now, many Genesis Realm experts such as the Ice Emperor, the Flame Emperor, Hua Tianqiong, and Ji Dan were gathered in Nether City. They had also summoned their nine-level Soul Altars and constructed all kinds of colorful barriers.
These barriers should be able to protect his weakened Dark Soul Beast avatar while he recuperates.
“Just now…” The Ice Emperor looked like he wanted to say something.
“I borrowed foreign power to beat him,” Qin Lie replied.
The Ice Emperor looked at him oddly. “Austin is the Abyss Devil who nearly became the Abyss Master before Castor. And now, he’s… completely dead?”
He couldn’t quite believe the reality before his eyes.
But it was a fact that an ent.i.ty as powerful as Austin had completely vanished in just a short time.
The Ice Emperor could feel that Austin was probably dead, but everyone thought the same several million years ago, when in fact he was hiding in Nether Realm as the Nine Soul h.e.l.l.
The Ice Emperor was worried that Austin would pull off the same trick again.
“He should be completely dead… I think.” Not even Qin Lie, the one who killed Austin was certain.
“He’s dead.” Ming Xiao abruptly dropped down from the sky and took on the form of a thin human.
He shot Ling Yus.h.i.+ a long stare before grinning happily at Qin Lie, saying, “The most important part in Austin’s soul memories had dissolved into nothing, and the soul imprints he learned had become a part of the girl’s bloodline. There’s no way he can come back to life again after his very core has been absorbed by her. Remember, he’s only a remnant soul without a physical body. His heart is long gone.”
Everyone in Nether City let out a sigh of relief after hearing Ming Xiao’s confirmation, especially because he was a Great Lord of the Abyss himself.
“Why are you back?” Qin Shan asked.
“Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+”
Qin Lie noticed that the Great Lords of the Abyss led by Dawson and Azgalo had pounced into the group of Spirit Race clansmen.
Nine h.e.l.ls Monarch Austin finally stopped wasting time and pressured the Spirit Race with his gigantic body as well.
Castor’s avatar had returned into a ball of flesh and blood after Qin Hao’s initial attack.
The ball kept rolling into the distance and vanished from the battlefield in just the blink of an eye.
He seemed to be in no hurry to engage the Abyss Devils of Nine h.e.l.ls in a do-or-die battle.
Right now, his father Qin Hao was fighting the Spirit Race’s patriarch a.s.sad on his nine-level Soul Altar.
The strongest Great Lords of Nine h.e.l.ls Purgatory were also fighting the Spirit Race, but Ming Xiao had suddenly retreated from the battlefield. His action had displeased Qin Shan a little.
“My foremost priority is her safety.” Ming Xiao looked at Ling Yus.h.i.+ before continuing, “The Ling Family, the Horned Demon Race, the Dark Shadow Race, and the Ghost Eye Race is the reason I came to Nine h.e.l.ls Purgatory. They are far too weak compared to the Spirit Race and the Great Lords of the Abyss, and they simply aren’t strong enough to partic.i.p.ate in this battle.”
“Fine.” Qin Shan nodded once before saying, “But we still need to respond to the Spirit Race’s attack.”
“That’s right.”
“Tian Qi had caused Spirit Realm too much damage already!”
The Flame Emperor and the Ice Emperor immediately responded and charged the Spirit Race themselves.
Ji Dan and Hua Tianqiong also ordered their martial pract.i.tioners to attack the Spirit Race.
“Foolish.”
It was at this moment Great Sage Tian Qi spoke up in an emotionless voice.
His voice was soft, but for some reason every living being within five thousand kilometers could hear him clearly.
“Rrrrmbb!”
The ground next to the Nether City started rumbling loudly, and icy blue light suddenly pierced through a pitch black pond and reached into the sky.
The moment the light had appeared, the pond instantly crumbled into nothing and revealed a scepter glowing with dazzling blue light.
“The Scepter of Fate!”
The Spirit Race bloodline warriors screamed when they saw the scepter.
Suddenly, the incoming Great Lords of the Abyss and the human race experts such as the Flame Emperor and the Ice Emperor seemed insignificant in their eyes.
