Four men stood in the space above Yama Battlefield. A strong aura radiated from the four men that the soul beasts of Yama Battlefield did not dare to approach them. Those that did were instantly killed by the four men.
The four men were naturally Commanders of the Death God's Legion.
An old emaciated man stood behind Brian, dense white lights flowing out of his fingers. The white lights contained strong light Essence that could disintegrate anything it shined upon.
The white lights were focused on the icicles that protruded from Brian's back.
The icicles were a translucent blue and thick blood converged at their bottom. Brian groaned in pain as the white lights shone on the icicles. It was as if the icicles were connected to his body that he could not even remove them.
"This technique is quite vicious. The icicles are refining your blood into blood path dao imprints constantly. If they are not completely destroyed, you will die inevitably" The emaciated man spoke word by word, enlightening Brian.
"It's been hard on you, Brian" Sleeping Thunder mumbled.
"Lord Tyreece would be angered by Louis' death" The emaciated man whose name was Old Chao said.
"He is not necessarily dead yet" Brian grunted as he spoke. "Lu Zheng only stole his soul. If we can get it back…"
Old Chao shook his head: "That Lu Zheng is a soul path martial practitioner, he must have already refined Louis' soul into a cultivation material. Even if Louis' soul still exists, he will never be the same again"
Sleeping Thunder gnashed his teeth in anger: "That Lu Zheng, when I get my hands on him, I'll make him suffer a terrible death!"
"I already left my death mark on his body. We have no need for Ethan anymore" Brian said as Old Chao disintegrated the last of the icicles.
…..
Lu Zheng sat in his house as a transparent figure floated before him. The figure was a tall slender man with an unassuming face.
His expression was twisted in horror and fear.
"Please, please, Lu Zheng. Spare me and I'll give you whatever you want" Louis begged.
"Why would a death path expert fear death?" Lu Zheng shook his head as ethereal soul tendrils spread out from him.
The soul tendrils invaded Louis' soul without any form of resistance.
"Aarrgh! Not again! Please stop, it hurts!" Louis begged as his form scattered and reformed countless of times.
Lu Zheng's gaze was eerily cold: "If you do not struggle, you will not feel pain at all"
Lu Zheng's words fell on deaf ears as Louis screamed and struggled but he could not break free from Lu Zheng's restrictions.
Lu Zheng did not have the slightest hint of mercy. Louis had attempted to kill him and if Mei Luan had not stopped him, Lu Zheng might have actually died.
He did not have mercy for anyone that wanted to claim his life.
After some moments, Louis stopped struggling and Lu Zheng retracted his soul consciousness.
"So that Ethan from before has come for revenge"
Lu Zheng could remember Ethan vividly. When he went to Red Claw Meadow with Zuo Xiuzhen, he had met Qing Shou Jian and the rest of the Moon Lake Squad.
It was then that Ethan had ambushed them in a sorry attempt to kill them.
Lu Zheng closed his eyes and his soul consciousness invaded Louis' soul. After soul searching Louis' soul tens of times, the man had no more secrets before Lu Zheng.
"A space path complete inheritance!" Lu Zheng exclaimed as he opened his eyes.
He knew that Louis had comprehended a unique space path profound meaning that allowed him to hide in spatial gaps from every perception. When he used it, not even Lu Zheng's Sea of Consciousness could perceive his life aura.
Lu Zheng went through Louis' memories for information on the space path profound meaning. He knew that if he could comprehend it, his space path abilities would increase greatly.
After he was done, he released the restrictions on Louis' soul and the Soul Absorbing Gem absorbed him. Streams of energy flowed into Lu Zheng as his soul foundation rose steeply.
His soul foundation rose from the hundred and thirty thousand man soul level to the two hundred and seventy thousand man soul level. On his own, even with the Sea of Nirvana, it would have taken Lu Zheng many years to reach that level.
Naturally, normal soul path martial practitioners would need even more time.
