Capítulo 8 - Retreat

Song Yang couldn't help wondering what to do next. Although he had ordered the shadow demons to spread the reputation tokens, he knew that this wouldn't be quick and would probably take a few days.

Instantly, the graceful figure of Sun Yunying appeared in his mind, and Song Yang almost couldn't resist the urge to go and visit her. After all, it was natural for a maid to serve her master, wasn't it?

If Sun Yunling heard that, she could only cry without tears. A few hours ago, she was an arrogant holy daughter of one of the four main sects, and now she's been reduced to being a maid for others, and he still wants her to serve him?

'As for if she didn't want to serve me? Well...' - Song Yang thought.

'Just threaten to destroy that little sect, the Blue Lotus Sect!' Song Yang thought, with a wicked smile on his face. 'I can't believe there's no one that girl cares about there.

"Why do my personality and movements resemble those of the villains in the novels of my previous life?" Song Yang thought for a moment.

'Why do my personality and movements resemble those of the villains in the novels of my previous life?' Song Yang thought for a moment. 'Even in my previous life, I wasn't so arrogant.'

'I guess that's the consequence of having a power that can control other people's lives with a thought and there being no consequences; so that must be the real me,' Song Yang came to that conclusion.

As he was about to leave the Main Hall and head towards a certain maid's room to discuss life, Song Yang couldn't help but think of something.

'I'm currently at the qi awakening realm, while that girl is at the soul formation realm.

'I'm afraid that even if she doesn't refuse to serve me, the strength of her body will be enough to crush me.

'Besides, if the girl rebels now and wants to attack me, I'll be completely vulnerable.

'Of course, I could let Shi Hu watch me to protect me, but I don't have that fetish. Thinking about it, Song Yang couldn't help but shudder slightly.

"Damn it," cursed Song Yang, as his eyes turned to the spatial ring in his hand, which was Elder Ling's ring.

"Forget it, let that little girl off the hook for now. I don't believe that after I absorb the body of Elder Ling, a powerful master who has reached the peak of the royal realm, I won't surpass that girl's cultivation." Song Yang quickly thought of something.

(Cultivation Realms: Qi Awakening, Spirit Transformation, Core Condensation, Soul Formation, Divine Transformation, Royal Realm, Saint, Saint King, Great Saint)

Looking at Shi Hu, who was still standing respectfully in the room, Song Yang ordered:

"Shi Hu, I'm going to withdraw for now. I want you to protect me; no one is allowed in."

"Obey the master's order," agreed Shi Hu respectfully.

"Speaking of which, now that I've created Shura Palace, you should call me Palace Master." As if he had thought of something after hearing Shi Hu's title, Song Yang couldn't help but order.

"Yes, Palace Master," Shi Hu replied reverently.

As if he had remembered something, Song Yang threw the ring in his hand to Shi Hu and said, "Release the spirit mark from this spatial ring."

After Shi Hu finally released the ring's spirit mark and handed over Elder Ling's body, he disappeared from Song Yang's sight. However, Song Yang knew very well that Shi Hu was outside the main hall, protecting him.

Although the only person who could be in the secret realm was Sun Yunling, Song Yang was never careless. Although he was a little arrogant, he wasn't foolish enough to trust the girl he had just kidnapped.

Remembering his previous life, he was a powerful mercenary who risked his life every day. Clearly, he couldn't joke when it came to his own life.

After all, in his past life, he had conquered everything: he had many women, money and power, but he didn't have strong personal power, which was his undoing. Now, in this life, he could achieve the power to move mountains and seas. How could he not want that?

With this mindset of becoming stronger, he sat cross-legged in the main room, in front of Elder Ling's corpse.

The instant he began to operate the Supreme Devouring Sutra, Elder Ling's corpse began to glow with points of white light, and almost instantly all the residual energy in his body was directed towards Song Yang.

"Damn, that intense?" Song Yang thought. He knew he would be practicing in front of the corpse for several days, which made him a little upset, but he put up with it because he wanted to get stronger, and the Supreme Devouring Sutra was his best option at the moment.

But now, at this moment, his body turned into milky white energy, and his body absorbed it easily.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but check his physique. He discovered that by absorbing the corpse, a different space had been created inside his body, and the energy absorbed was just like a grain of sand in the desert inside that space.

"It seems that in the future, I can absorb the corpses on the spot and store the residual energy in this space," Song Yang thought, realizing that it would be much easier than he had imagined.

"I'm afraid that when my cultivation advances, it shouldn't be impossible to absorb a sea of corpses instantly. Imagine how much energy I could absorb," Song Yang couldn't help but get excited, thinking about his future.

After he finally calmed down, Song Yang began practicing the Supreme Devouring Sutra to refine the energy contained in the space inside his body, which he named 'Death Space'.

After all, he had only stored the energy previously. At this point, Song Yang finally began to refine it and turn it into cultivation. Then, his cultivation began to soar like a rocket.
