NOVEL WEB Chapter 493: Emperor Soul Devouring Beast, Soul Invasion
"An Emperor-level Soul Devouring Beast!" John exclaimed in surprise.
A massive, grotesque magical beast stared coldly at him.
"Heaven and Earth Transformation!" he roared, a powerful gust of wind howling as a tremendous aura surged, instantly transforming him into a towering giant.
"Judgment!" A sharp sword beam flickered, the power of the laws of Heaven surged, and a powerful soul attack skill was unleashed.
Boom!
The sword beam directly pierced the Soul Devouring Beast's skull.
"Roar!"
A painful roar echoed as the beast's expression twisted in agony. Its soul trembled slightly, but the injury was not severe.
"Such a powerful soul attack technique. What a pity, in front of me, it's still too weak!" it spoke in human tongue, staring at John coldly. A flash of light flickered as it once again launched a soul attack.
"Hmm?" John frowned, sensing the impending danger. Before he could react, the Spiritual power instantly invaded his mind.
He felt a sharp pain in his head, and a deeply hidden memory surfaced.
It was from his past life—the final battle against the deity who sought to destroy Earth.
"This is bad..." He suddenly snapped back to his senses. This terrifying Soul Devouring Beast could actually read his memories.
He tried to shut it off, but it was futile.
"Who... Who are you?" A voice of disbelief echoed in his mind, and a phantom of the Soul Devouring Beast appeared, staring at him in shock.
"Rebirth? What kind of power is this?" The Soul Devouring Beast's expression turned wary. Such a strange ability—perhaps even a Creator God wouldn't be able to control it.
"Die!" John shouted angrily, gathering an immense Spiritual power into a sharp blade, which whistled as it sliced toward the beast.
Rebirth was his greatest secret. Even the women closest to him didn't know. This secret was something he could never allow anyone else to discover.
"Hmph, you overestimate yourself!" The Soul Devouring Beast sneered, similarly gathering Spiritual power into a blade, slashing toward John.
Boom!
A deafening sound erupted, and their souls trembled violently. John felt his head ringing, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.
This Soul Devouring Beast's soul attack also ignored defenses. His Golden Lotus Manifestation had no effect at all.
The Soul Devouring Beast coldly stared at him, its expression blank. "I have already learned the coordinates of your star domain. You are of no further value."
With that, a strange Spiritual power condensed, forming into a tiny golden needle that shot toward him in an instant.
Not good!
John's expression changed. He felt an enormous threat to his life, and he knew his soul couldn't withstand the attack of this golden needle.
Buzz!
Suddenly, black and white energies flickered, and a Tai Chi symbol appeared, slowly spinning. It effortlessly blocked and devoured the golden needle.
"Hmm?" John was confused. This was the Tai Chi symbol he had been cultivating in his dantian for a long time, but it had never manifested before.
He hadn't expected it to appear in his soul.
"What is this?" The Soul Devouring Beast stared at the suddenly appearing Tai Chi symbol, feeling both confused and wary. It involuntarily took a step back, sensing a terrifying power.
Buzz!
The Tai Chi symbol spun rapidly, the black and white energies flashing as it surged forward.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Soul Devouring Beast's soul was shattered. It quickly began to regroup and hastily retreated from John's mind.
Cough!
At the same time, John regained his clarity, coughing up blood. Countless Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts surrounded him, devouring his flesh, blood, and soul.
"Die!" he shouted furiously. The sword intent hummed with an aura of death and ruthlessness as the Four Extermination Swords were summoned, launching into a frenzied slaughter.
The wails and cries of the magical beasts echoed as the Bone Devouring Beasts and Soul Devouring Beasts were effortlessly slaughtered, wiped out in an instant.
"Stop this human!" The enormous Soul Devouring Beast growled coldly. It too was bleeding from its seven orifices, its soul injured, its breath unstable.
It had already learned the coordinates of the Initial World and needed to relay this information to the Creator God. It wanted to escape.
Whoosh...
A violent wind howled as an endless army of magical beasts swept in, engulfing John's figure in a massive surge.
"Get away!" John understood the Soul Devouring Beast's intent. No matter what, he couldn't allow it to escape.
Boom...
Suddenly, a series of thundering roars shook the air, dark clouds surged, and evil, oppressive forces enveloped the area. A cold, violent wind screamed, as though countless vengeful souls were wailing in agony.
A massive black skeletal-shaped city appeared, crashing down heavily.
Boom!
With an earth-shattering crash, the heavens trembled. Countless magical beasts were enveloped by the city, instantly turning into piles of dry bones.
Wail...
John's ears rang with a deep, mournful sound, as if the cries of countless vengeful spirits were disturbing his mind.
A powerful desire for slaughter surged within him, as though he wanted to take control of Dark City and unleash a mad slaughter upon these magical beasts.
"Shut up!" he roared, suppressing his restless mind. His gaze was like lightning as it locked onto the figure of the Soul Devouring Beast.
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Beast looked terrified, running in a panic, charging toward the army of magical beasts.
"You can't escape, die!" John's expression was cold, and endless killing intent spread across him. He controlled Dark City, enveloping the Soul Devouring Beast and bringing it crashing down.
This creature had learned his secret; it had to die.
"No..." The Soul Devouring Beast looked up at the enlarging shadow above it, with a chilling wind howling and ghostly figures flickering. Its soul trembled.
The Soul Devouring Beast's greatest strength was its soul, but Dark City craved nothing more than Spiritual power.
Boom!
Dark City slammed down, its voice stopped abruptly, and the Divine Soul of the Soul Devouring Beast was instantly obliterated.
The surrounding magical beasts were also reduced to ashes in an instant.
[You killed a one-star Emperor-level Soul Devouring Beast, Plunder talent activated]
[+1,000,000 to Four Basic Attributes, +100,000 to Soul Technique]
...
Prompt messages flashed, and John's strength was slightly enhanced again.
Especially Soul Technique, which increased by 100,000 points.
However, his expression wasn't good. Black energy surrounded him, ominous and evil.
That was the power of killing karma.
Dark City's two strikes had slaughtered tens of thousands of magical beasts, and all the killing karma was now tied to him.
He could clearly feel some changes occurring in his soul.
He didn't pay much attention to this and turned his gaze to the two one-star Emperor-level Ruin Beasts nearby.
They slashed with their claws, easily tearing apart the space and linking it to John's World-in-Hand, allowing countless magical beasts to surge in and wreak havoc.
"Looking for death!" His expression remained icy, killing intent overwhelming him as he again controlled Dark City, slamming it down hard on the two beasts.
These two Ruin Beasts were also at the Emperor level, and he feared that, like the Soul Devouring Beast, they might possess special abilities that would complicate things. They had to be killed forcefully.
Boom boom...
The space trembled as darkness enveloped the area. The massive city covered the sky, crashing down heavily.
Boom!
The world shook, and the land beneath them cracked open, space rifts forming everywhere.
At this moment, the Realm of Chaos was already too fragile, unable to withstand the repeated strikes of Dark City.
The two one-star Emperor-level Ruin Beasts had no power to resist and were directly destroyed.
[You killed a one-star Emperor-level Ruin Beast, Plunder talent activated]
[+1,000,000 to Four Basic Attributes, +1% to Body Space Elemental Conversion]
...
Prompt messages flashed again. John's comprehension of the Space Elemental Law had already reached 100%, and killing regular Ruin Beasts would no longer improve it.
He hadn't expected that by killing the one-star Emperor-level Ruin Beasts, he would directly Plunder Body Space Elemental Conversion.
This meant that by killing one hundred Emperor-level Ruin Beasts, he would be able to fully convert his body into spatial elements.
The space law was rare and powerful, and difficult to comprehend. He was curious to see what changes would occur once his body was fully transformed into space elements.
Roar! Roar!
Angry roars echoed as the surrounding magical beasts continued to charge forward, fearless in their assault. They came in endless waves, crashing toward him and engulfing his figure.
John frowned deeply, forcefully suppressing the craving for slaughter in his heart. He moved his mind and pulled Dark City back into the Dark Rift.
Buzz!
A hum rang out as sharp cold light flickered, and countless sword lights howled, instantly cutting through the approaching magical beasts.
John's figure charged forward, surrounded by sword lights in pale green, crimson, deep blue, and dark purple, each filled with overwhelming murderous intent.

"Immortal Sword Formation!" His expression remained cold as he softly uttered the words, directly activating the Immortal Sword Formation.
Four sword lights shot into the sky, intertwining and forming a shield that enveloped the magical beast army within a ten-mile radius.
The cold lights flickered, blood splattered, and the sounds of wailing filled the air.
These magical beasts were all at the Nine-Star level and couldn't withstand the Immortal Sword Formation.
[You have killed a Nine-Star Soul Devouring Beast, Plunder ability activated.]
[+100 to Soul Technique, +10,000 to the four basic attributes.]
...
The prompts flashed rapidly as John's strength skyrocketed.
At this rate, within two months, he would reach the peak of Nine-Star cultivation and face the Emperor lightning tribulation.
In just a mere fifteen minutes, the ground around him was littered with the remains of magical beasts, all shredded by the sword lights of the Four Extermination Swords.
Magical beasts still poured in from the distance.
John didn't bother with these beasts any longer. With a thought, he entered World-in-Hand.
At that moment, countless magical beasts surged into World-in-Hand, and the space fractures had yet to close.
"Creation and Destruction!" John directly cast Creation and Destruction, a massive sword light slicing through the air, repairing the space fractures.
Without the One-Star Emperor-level Ruin Beast to disrupt it, the space fractures were easily closed, and World-in-Hand returned to its original state.
However, the areas devoured by the Ruin Beasts could not be restored.
But this minor damage was nothing to shake the foundations of his World-in-Hand.
He summoned the Four Extermination Swords again and resumed his slaughter of the magical beasts.
His arrival immediately turned the tide, and the pressure on the others was greatly reduced.
"Old man, leave some for us!" Tracy complained, speaking up quickly.
These Ruin Beasts, Bone Devouring Beasts, and Soul Devouring Beasts were incredibly powerful, and she couldn't deal with them easily. However, the attributes gained from Plunder were quite impressive.
In just a short while, her and Sini's four basic attributes had increased by nearly ten million, and their strength had already broken through to Nine-Star.
"There will be plenty of opportunities later." John spoke, his tone firm. These magical beasts threatened his World-in-Hand, and they had to be eliminated as quickly as possible.
The hundreds of thousands of magical beasts didn't last long and were soon wiped out.
Everyone began to clean up the battlefield and collect the magic cores.
The shattered Heaven God Tablet's power of laws disappeared, and absorbing the power from magic cores became their only method of cultivation.
