King Of Chaos

Chapter 423 Ch 423: Devouring The Soul

"H-how?"

"What is going on?"

Dark Mist Emperor was extremely shocked.

Initially, he held great confidence in killing Ling Xiaolong, whose strength appeared to have regressed significantly, resulting in him becoming a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos from a Master of Chaos.

However, he soon discovered that his wishes were simply a dream. Ling Xiaolong was not a legend for no reason. Not only did he devour the Heavenly Blue Ice Flame, but he also used this flame to fight him.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of the reflection of chaos suppressed him, a Master of Chaos, to an extent where he couldn't even move.

How easily did Ling Xiaolong kill his dark python?

That dark python had the strength of a Level 4 Master of Chaos just like him. But it was unable to even resist and burned to death by that obscure white flame.

What is that white flame? How could a flame be so terrifying, capable of easily killing a Master of Chaos?

Most importantly, the python was born from dark mist, which was his specialty. In other words, the python was essentially composed of mist. How could there be a flame capable of burning mist?

The Dark Mist Emperor was terrified. The terror came from the depth of his soul. For the first time, he had a feeling that death was standing right in front of him.

Even as a Master of Chaos, he was afraid of death.

How could he not be afraid of death?

In his pursuit of becoming a Master of Chaos, he had undergone countless trials of life and death.

Why would someone aspire to become a Master of Chaos?

The reason lies in the fact that a Master of Chaos typically enjoys an infinite lifespan. As long as nothing extremely unfortunate occurs, a Master of Chaos does not die.

Given the chance to live for eternity, who would willingly embrace death?

There might be one or two crazy warriors like that but it is almost impossible to come across such people.

The Dark Mist Emperor also didn't want to die. However, death loomed right before him. How could he not be terrified?

While Dark Mist Emperor was still shocked at Ling Xiaolong's achievement, Ling Xiaolong had already arrived in front of him.

"Don't worry, I still have some uses for you. So, I will not kill you right away."

Ling Xiaolong smiled at the Dark Mist Emperor.

In the eyes of the Dark Mist Emperor, Ling Xiaolong's smile was like a demon's grinning. He could not help but shudder in fear once again. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not move at all. He was completely suppressed due to the presence of the reflection of chaos in the sky.

"Aahhhhh..."

Ling Xiaolong touched the Dark Mist Emperor with his hand that was wrapped in Chaos Essence Flame.

Immediately, the Chaos Essence Flame covered Dark Mist Emperor's entire body, burning him.

Dark Mist Emperor could not help but scream in pain. He was agonized by the onslaught of Chaos Essence Flame that targeted not only his physical body but also his soul. At the same time, he felt like his cultivation was being rapidly devoured by the white flame burning on his body.

His body was not being burned actually, it was being corroded to the point of complete disappearance, not leaving a trace behind.

At that moment, he understood that his very existence was about to be wiped out by the Chaos Essence Flame.

"Don't affect his soul too much. Keep it in a weakened state. I still have a purpose for his soul."

Ling Xiaolong spoke, prompting the Chaos Essence Flame, which was enjoying tormenting the Dark Mist Emperor, to flicker a few times, seemingly acknowledging Ling Xiaolong's command.

Dark Mist Emperor, on the other hand, was even more terrified to hear Ling Xiaolong's words. He had no idea why Ling Xiaolong wanted to keep his soul in the weakened state, but he knew that only excruciating torture and severe torment were waiting for him.

He did not want to experience anything like that, Unfortunately, he was no longer in control. The control of everything now was in Ling Xiaolong's hands.

However, he was not in a position to think too much. The agonizing pain was torturing him to the point where he wanted nothing more than to die immediately.

His wishes were soon fulfilled.

His physical appearance was completely wiped out, only his weakened soul was left behind in a state of profound agony.

"Devour!"

Ling Xiaolong did not hesitate to directly devour his soul, greatly increasing his soul force, almost doubling it.

Indeed, the soul of a Level 4 Master of Chaos was almost as strong as his soul. In fact, it was slightly stronger.

Ling Xiaolong's soul force suddenly skyrocketed, reaching the level of an ordinary Master of Chaos at Level 6.

In other words, Ling Xiaolong was now capable of killing Level 6 Masters of Chaos even without the help of the Power of Chaos. All he needs to do is execute his ability to destroy the soul, and that will be game over.

Not only did Ling Xiaolong's soul force double, but a large amount of memories also surged into Ling Xiaolong's mind.

Ling Xiaolong did not accept all the memories. He directly filtered out memories into two groups. Firstly, he separated the memories related to "Ling Xiaolong" into one group. In the second group, he gathered all the memories related to the faction standing behind the Dark Mist Emperor.

When he was fighting Dark Mist Emperor, Ling Xiaolong had heard him speaking 'Hall of Sin'. So, it was very easy for him to filter out the memories related to the Hall of Sin.

The reason Ling Xiaolong opted to devour the Dark Mist Emperor's soul was his desire to identify his enemies.

What is the best way to obtain all the answers?

It was by directly looking into a person's soul and going through his memories.

Ling Xiaolong first absorbed the memories related to the Hall of Sin. After that, he absorbed the memories related to 'Ling Xiaolong'.

Just like that, he obtained a wealth of important information that he had no access to beforehand.

"So that's how it is!"

A cold glint flashed in Ling Xiaolong's eyes. He now understands why the Hall of Sin wanted to hunt him down so desperately.

It turned out that Ling Xiaolong #1 made an enemy with the Hall of Sin because the Hall of Sin demanded Celestial Glory Blade and his Eternal Fury Divine Spear just like other forces.

How could Ling Xiaolong #1 agree?

He flatly refused.

Hall of Sin then started making trouble for Ling Xiaolong #1. They also sent many Masters of Chaos to capture him—alive or dead, doesn't matter.

Ling Xiaolong #1 was chased by Hall of Sin and others for more than a thousand years. If not for these people, he could have increased his cultivation base even more rapidly.

It should be noted that Ling Xiaolong #1 achieved the status of Master of Chaos even before reaching a thousand years of age. In the eyes of others, he was simply a monstrous figure. This was precisely why they were adamant about preventing Ling Xiaolong #1 from advancing in cultivation, constantly creating trouble for him. They also created countless life-threatening situations where Ling Xiaolong #1 almost lost his life.

Everyone harbored the desire to kill him and snatch his treasures for themselves.

Yet, Ling Xiaolong #1 managed to escape every time, carving out a legendary reputation. His tale of legend became renowned by stepping on the humiliated faces of several factions, including the Hall of Sin and the Tower of Wisdom.

In the end, the enmity between the two reached the point of no return.

This time, when Hall of Sin obtained information about Ling Xiaolong, they immediately sent forces to either capture or kill him.

From the memories of the Dark Mist Emperor, Ling Xiaolong gleaned information about the Hundred Leaves Association and the mission assigned to them by the Hall of Sin. Additionally, he discovered details about the Hundred Leaves Emperor and the treasure he had acquired as an advance reward for the mission.

Ling Xiaolong's eyes flashed with cold light. He knew what he had to do in his remaining days in the Land of Thousand Gold.

Other than these, Ling Xiaolong also obtained the details about Ling Xiaolong #1.

It turned out that Ling Xiaolong #1, Queen, and Thundrous Roar Emperor entered an ancient site called the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land. The Celestial Phoenix Holy Land was left behind by the forgotten era and was very famous.

No one had been able to return after entering the Celestial Phoenix Holy Land.

Ling Xiaolong heaved a sigh of relief after learning about Ling Xiaolong #1 and Queen's location. He was sure that they would not die that easily. He also made up his mind to go to that forbidden place if get the chance.

For now, his goal was to go to the Land of Celestial Glory and look for the Legendary Weapon Craftsman.
