430 Let’s Be Together in Hell!
However, after his soul escaped from his physical body, it was suppressed by the terrifying energy of the soul-devouring pearl, and he immediately fell into a deep slumber. His body had already lost its life force.
Then, the scene disappeared and Shen Fei regained his senses back in the white space. He glanced at the soul-devouring pearl, which had also manifested in this dimension.
“What’s with this soul-devouring pearl?” Shen Fei asked.
The mechanical voice of the system began to explain, [This soul-devouring pearl was refined from the dark soul pearl. It has a terrifying devouring ability. As long as it touches the soul and blood essence of the victim, they will be devoured. Furthermore, by devouring the soul of a high-tier cultivator, it can obtain the memories of the martial techniques and any soul comprehension powers that the victim has cultivated in their lifetime. That includes information on various treasures, pills, secret techniques, divine abilities, and so on.
[Once the soul-devouring pearl reaches a certain realm, it will begin to devour the power contained in the victim’s body to help increase its own strength and strengthen its user. All in all, the effects of this soul-devouring pearl are extremely powerful. It is a heaven-defying existence.]
“How do I leave this place and return to my body?” Shen Fei asked.
[The host needs to gather nine soul-devouring pearls and refine eight of them to fuse them with the first soul-devouring pearl to form a more complete one. Otherwise, the Host will be trapped in this soul-devouring pearl’s dimension forever until death.] The voice traveled straight into Shen Fei’s ears.
“Dammit!” Shen Fei cursed in his heart. Then, he frowned and said more solemnly, “Looks like I need to find another seven soul-devouring pearls as soon as possible.”
After that, Shen Fei went to look for the remaining seven soul-devouring pearls. Naturally, he would not give up easily.
The soul-devouring pearl emitted a dazzling black light again. Shen Fei ignored it and sat down in the lotus position. He immediately used the Soul-devouring Mantra and began to devour and refine the soul-devouring pearl for himself. He was going to fight fire with fire.
The soul-devouring pearl continued to hover in the air, emitting a terrifying energy. Countless runes appeared, surrounding the pearl. Then they formed into shackles. It was as if it was restricting the soul-devouring pearl from devouring any more life.
Despite the fact that this white space was created by the pearl, it was unable to control Shen Fei’s soul.
…
Meanwhile, back in the physical wormhole realm, Aloy stared at Shen Fei’s body on the ground and a distressed expression appeared on her face.
Aloy could not help but say, “Shen Fei, I’m sorry.”
“Aloy, I said you were destined to be mine.” Lear came in and hugged Aloy from behind, smiling evilly.
Aloy pushed Lear away and shouted, “Get lost!”
“Aloy, don’t forget what you promised me. You belong only to me. You will be my woman for the rest of your life! If you dare betray me, I will make you wish you were dead!” Lear shouted coldly.
“Lear, I beg you, don’t force me! Otherwise, I will really kill you,” Aloy said through gritted teeth. Her eyes were filled with determination.
Lear snorted coldly. “Hmph, then I want to see how you’re going to kill me.”
“I said: Don’t force me!” Aloy spat.
“Hah!” Lear’s palm swept out and smashed Aloy’s body against the wall. She fell to the ground, coughing up blood.
“Lear, you…!” Aloy’s face paled as blood continued to drip from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were filled with tears as she glared at Lear.
Lear looked at Aloy and said sinisterly, “You should have obeyed me and become my woman. You like this kid so much? If he was still alive, you definitely wouldn’t be so willing to die, right? In that case, I’ll let the two of you spend the rest of your lives together in hell!”
Then, he waved his fist and attacked Aloy. However, Shen Fei suddenly appeared in front of her.
Bang!
Shen Fei punched Lear and sent him flying. Lear smashed into a mountainside before he fell to the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth when he crashed into the rock.
“You…!” Lear stared at Shen Fei in shock. He did not expect the other party to actually wake up.
Shen Fei supported Aloy and said, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Aloy shook her head to clear her dizziness. Then, her gaze landed on Lear and she coldly said, “Lear, you’ve let power go to your head. Did you really assume that I would be grateful for this? Let me tell you: I will never feel anything even remotely positive about you.”
Lear suddenly shot forward. He summoned all the strength in his body and charged at Shen Fei. He was hoping that Shen Fei was still not fully awake, so he wanted to try and kill him in one fell swoop.
The soul-devouring pearl had somehow isolated their forest area from the rest of the realm. Inside this isolated field, the flow of time moved differently from the world outside. Thus, Shen Fei was not worried about Lear unleashing everything he had in this field.
Lear was shocked when he realized this. “How did you…”
The corner of Shen Fei’s mouth curled into a playful smirk. “I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
“How is this possible? Could it be that the soul-devouring pearl can’t do anything to you?” The shock had not left Lear’s face.
“What can a mere low-grade soul-devouring pearl do to me?” Shen Fei sneered. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a Sacred Burning Flame.
In an instant, Lear enveloped himself in the black shroud of his soul-devouring pearl. Although his soul-devouring pearl was powerful, it was not a threat to the Sacred Burning Flame, which was a soul-devouring skill.
Soon, Lear screamed endlessly. White smoke rose from his body as he knelt on the ground from the pain.
“Aargh!! I’m going to kill you! I will kill you!” Lear roared. He glared with wide, crazed eyes, and his face twisted like a demon.
A stronger soul-devouring pearl appeared from out of nowhere and flew into Shen Fei’s body. Shen Fei’s soul trembled, and a Soul-devouring Mark appeared on his forehead while emitting a bright light. His Soul-devouring Mantra had successfully transformed; the second stage of this technique was finally complete.
“Soul Devouring Mantra, Third Form! Soul-devouring Eyes!” Shen Fei shouted.
Two balls of gray light shot out from his eyes and shot toward Lear. Lear’s soul was immediately put under immense pressure. His entire face was twisted unpleasantly as his body was pierced through by the gray laser beams. A destructive force radiated from his body with the intention to completely destroy him.
However, at the critical moment, the soul-devouring pearl inside Lear injected a massive soul power into his body. Lear’s body returned to normal and he fell limply onto the ground.
Shen Fei’s third move almost destroyed his soul. Fortunately, Lear’s soul-devouring pearl appeared in time to save him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
At this moment, Lear lay on the ground, panting heavily. Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear as he stared at Shen Fei.
Aloy, however, watched Shen Fei warily.
Shen Fei saw her look. “Don’t be afraid. I’m really here.”
Hearing this, Aloy finally smiled and nodded.
When he saw the easy trust she had for him, the veins on Lear’s forehead bulged.
“Shen Fei, your luck is really incredible!”
