Chapter 38: Soul Capture

Faye could never forget the person who appeared in the Hell King's dream. It was a man with an arrogant and unrestrained temperament who once held her in his arms and chased her into the forbidden area of the immortal race and also told her that no matter how small a creature was, as long as she tried hard, one day she would step into the sky and fly away.

Faye thought the dream was fake, but it turned out to be real!

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she kept staring at Nathan in the air.

- Huh? The Demon Tribe has a Great Dao appear again, and it's an extraordinary Great Dao—enough to make me feel dangerous?

In the air, Elder Ding was sizing up Faye. He observed that Faye exuded a ghostly aura, indicating her status as a demon cultivator belonging to the Demon Tribe.

The aura on her body was both extremely ancient and tragic, and it was also like that of a young infant that had just been born not long ago. What kind of cultivation technique are you using?

If Elder Ding knew that Faye was a remnant soul of the ancient years, he would not be surprised anymore. King Alaca's magic power revived her in the Hansen secret realm, and after inheriting the Demon Lord's legacy, the Dew Flower transformed into a new body and made a reappearance in the world. Back then, Faye, already a celestial being, used the power of the dew flower to break through the barrier, condensing the great reincarnation path within the sea of consciousness.

That purple-clothed girl is extremely beautiful; eating it will be very delicious.

Nathan kept his eyes closed, never opening them, but it was as if he could see through everything. He coldly laughed and rushed to attack Faye.

Brat is a fantastic Dao cultivator! Let me stop her; you quickly go devour the Demon Tribe's people!

Elder Ding quickly rushed to block in front of Nathan, releasing six tall gods to attack Faye.

"Nether King, how did you become like this?"

Faye frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Nathan's appearance was exactly like that of a person who had gone astray from excessive practice. His body was filled with evil energy. Although he did not open his eyes, his demeanor was so vicious that it made people shiver.

Thank you, master!

Nathan's mouth slightly curled up, and he turned to face the nearest clansman, a young man with a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivation who was wearing a beast skin coat: He screamed in fear as he saw Nathan approaching.

Everyone, save me, evil demon...

Before he could finish his sentence, Nathan's hand had already grabbed the top of this pitiful young man's head, and his flesh and blood quickly disintegrated into countless streaks of blood light that merged directly into his hand.

Too weak...

When the young man had completely disappeared, Nathan raised his hand in front of his face. After noticing a drop of fresh blood on it, he stuck out his tongue and licked it clean.

The other clansmen who saw this terrifying scene all retreated in fear.

Have you become a demon, Nether King? Wake up quickly; I'm Faye!

Elder Ding entangled Faye, preventing her from running away and limiting her to a distant scream. Although she was the descendant of Hansen Demon Lord, she had just broken through the Ceslestial Being Scene; her cultivation was at the early stage of Great Dao, while Elder Ding had already been at the Great Perfection stage a thousand years ago. Furthermore, Elder Ding, being a seventh-level alchemist, had reached a remarkable peak in his medicine path, enabling him to compete with any young genius.

Previously, he had restricted his cultivation to Qi condensation, rendering him utterly incapable of utilizing the medicine path for attack, evidently incurring a significant defeat. However, today, he faced no obstacles; his immense strength manifested itself in a ferocious conflict with Faye.

"Miss, it appears you're familiar with that individual." If you want the best for him, let him devour the Demon Tribe; only then can you save his life. Once the demon in his heart is satisfied and he falls asleep, he will naturally return to his normal state.

"Are you the Nether King's real-world master?" "You let him practice this evil art as a master; I will first subdue you." Ghost Claw!

Behind Chen Manyao appeared a giant ghost emperor's phantom with an unknown face and two horns on its head, waving its hand to grab at Elder Ding.

Despite the power of your magic, it pales in comparison to mine! Light and splendor!

Countless three-petaled flowers emitted sparkling light and fell on the ghost emperor's phantom, causing it to roar in pain; however, the ghost claw still grabbed and sent flying one of Elder Ding's deities.

While the two were struggling, Nathan was also starting his crazy massacre. The people of the Demon Tribe were extremely frail, unable to withstand even a single strike from him, allowing him to effortlessly transform them into flesh and blood, thereby perfecting the formation of the fifth deity embryo.

Demon, give up your life!

A middle-aged man with mid-stage Chaos Origin Realm cultivation rushed forward and punched Nathan in the chest. Unexpectedly, this man had been hiding for a long time. Despite witnessing his clansmen's deaths, he patiently waited for an opening before delivering a deadly blow.

The Demon Clan did not cultivate much, but mainly trained their bodies. The middle-aged man had an extremely sturdy body. He even crushed Ramie, who was the current generation's clan leader, with his bare hands.

His strike successfully crushed Nathan's sternum. If it were any other ordinary cultivator, it would likely result in immediate death. However, because Nathan had an Eternal Life Body, the wound healed quickly, causing the clan leader to change his expression.

"Everyone should quickly attack and kill him. When Senior Faye finishes killing that evil person, he will come back to save us!" This clan leader shouted loudly. Immediately, more than twenty clansmen with Qi Condensation late stage and Chaos Origin Realm early stage cultivation surrounded Nathan; some of them held crossbows, some held spears, and all were crude homemade weapons, not magic treasures at all.

Come on, let me devour you all at once.

Nathan flew into the air, and behind him appeared a giant closed-eye phantom.

- Kill!

The Demon Clan people roared, simultaneously launching their strongest attack on Nathan. Strangely, Nathan seemed to be in a deep sleep, completely ignoring them; his eyes were still closed the whole time, just like the giant eye phantom behind him.

Pay for my clansmen's lives!

The clan leader jumped into the air and approached him again, intending to deliver a killing blow. This time, he attacked Nathan's head to prevent him from recovering, hoping to kill him with one blow.

In the distance, Faye and Elder Ding both stopped their hands and shouted simultaneously.

Nathan, wake up!

Wake up, Nether King!

- Kill!

The clan leader's fist had already reached Nathan's head, leading everyone to believe that he would punch out his head and send his brains flying out in the next scene. But at the most dangerous moment, Nathan suddenly opened his eyes, and the giant eye phantom behind him also made the same move:

Soul capture!

The two words "Soul Capture" echoed in the air; the clan leader's eyes completely turned white, and the fist that was about to strike finally stopped in mid-air. Not only him, but all the clansmen who were besieging Nathan had similar expressions; their eyes lost their pupils, becoming dumbfounded as if they had turned to stone.

What is there worth seeing in the mortal world? I will forever close my eyes, and once I open them, I will turn all living beings upside down!

Nathan's eyes revealed a silver light filled with indifference and coldness, as if there was nothing in the world worth his eye.

With Nathan's terrifying expression, Elder Ding felt more and more doubtful about his own beliefs. How could a newly conceived devil unleash such terrifying divine powers? The devil utterly destroyed the souls of over twenty individuals. Those glowing silver pupils, filled with sorrow as if they had endured countless years, were truly incomprehensible.

I want to devour you all.

Nathan closed his eyes again and raised his right hand, preparing to perform the Blood Devouring Technique.

- No!

At this moment, his face became distorted, his black hair shrank at an astounding speed, and his skin also returned to its normal color.

Heart demon, quickly get lost!

Nathan had just regained control and wanted to do his best to seal the heart demon, but he didn't expect that this heart demon was too strong, actively competing with him for control of his body.

I am your ego! I am Nathan!

The demon's heart roared.

His body was now divided into two halves; the right half represented the normal Nathan, while the left half represented the heart demon Nathan, characterized by long hair, white skin, and a closed left eye.

His will is really strong; the heart demon hadn't even devoured enough, yet he had already regained control!

The elder Ding was silent. Over the past few thousand years, countless geniuses have cultivated the Void God Scripture, but this was the first time someone had awakened before the heart demon was fully charged. Even Jiang Chen had to always carry the black face mask with him, just in case it was enough to show how strong Nathan's will was.

Nether King! What happened to you in the end?

Elder Ding continued to keep Faye from getting close as she gazed at him with heartache.

Nathan's heart demon curled up one corner of his mouth in a cold smile, reaching out his left hand to grab the head of the petrified patriarch.

"Let me devour him and increase our cultivation!"

"Get lost; I don't need this dirty power." Nathan used his right hand to block his left hand, angrily shouting.

"Idiot, only by devouring the entire world can we attain enlightenment."

Nathan's heart demon pushed his right hand away, then punched his chest.

Nathan, unable to endure the agony of his split into two, raised his head, roared loudly, and used Devil Dao to sprint as fast as he could, channeling all his spiritual power to escape this place.

"Nether King!"

Faye tried to pull away from Elder Ding, chasing after Nathan.

"Humph; my disciple has his own destiny. If I don't let the heart demon devour his flesh and blood enough to fall asleep, it will turn around and devour my spirit."

Elder Ding resolutely chased and attacked to stop Faye. Because they were flying and fighting at the same time, their speeds were much slower than Nathan's, and they almost lost sight of him several times.

Nathan sprinted at a high speed, his face displaying ferocity and chaos, his body split into two distinct colors, and his spiritual power splintered into two factions, each randomly attacking the other within the sea of suffering. The spiritual power struck the black stone, causing it to split into large fragments.

Even if I die, Nathan, I don't want to turn into a demon who only knows how to devour flesh and blood! You want to devour me? Then you and I will hug each other and die!

He yelled loudly when he saw a deep abyss before his eyes, from which rose a swirling demonic aura and earth-shattering resentment that seemed to have accumulated over countless years.
