Chapter 289 (2/2)

Perhaps the Nether Dragon Soul Headband will be able to help. Xiang Shaoyun decided to try using the Nether Dragon Soul Headband after thinking about it for a bit.

The Nether Dragon Soul Headband was a treasure that could be used to control the soul of others. But it was unknown if it could be used to store Devouring Ghost's soul. The only thing Xiang Shaoyun knew was that his own soul was currently stored in the s.p.a.ce between the two ends of the headband. Staying there, his soul was protected from all sorts of soul attacks and could grow at an enhanced speed.

If he moved his soul out of that place, he might be able to allow Devouring Ghost's soul to enter it instead. At that thought, he summoned out the Nether Dragon Soul Headband.

When Devouring Ghost saw the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, his eyes lit up as he cried out, ”This...is this the Nether Dragon Soul Headband from the Imperial Nether Clan? Why is it on you?”

”You know about this thing as well?” Xiang Shaoyun was surprised.

The Nether Dragon Soul Headband was something he had obtained from the Cloud Margin Pavilion auction. The Cloud Margin Pavilion people knew nothing about the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, yet Devouring Ghost was able to recognize it with one glance. It was obvious Devouring Ghost had seen the headband before.

”Haha, how would I not know it? Back then, the Imperial Nether Clan was one of the main forces besieging my master. Their ancestor was killed by my master, but the headband had actually fallen into your hands? Only the direct descendants of the Imperial Nether Clan are supposed to be able to control this headband,” said Devouring Ghost as he roared with laughter. ”Wait, you can't have the blood of the Imperial Nether Clan in you as well, right?”

Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly. ”You said it yourself. Only the direct descendants of the Imperial Nether Clan can control the headband. I suppose I do have their blood after all.”

Yes, he was a member of the Xiang Clan, but he had most likely gotten the blood of the Imperial Nether Clan from the previous generation. Since his father was a Xiang Clan member, it could only mean that the mother he had never met was the one who had given him the Imperial Nether Clan's blood. But of course, he wasn't sure about that either.

”The Xiang Clan has never got along well with the Imperial Nether Clan. It is very rare to see someone with the blood of these two clans. But that also grants you the talents unique to the two clans, giving you an even brighter future in your path of cultivation. Then again, you sure are weak. You're only at the Transformation Realm?” said Devouring Ghost.

”Now is not the time to talk about all that. See if you can enter the headband,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”If even the Nether Dragon Soul Headband can't store my soul foundation, nothing else in this world will be able to cut it,” said Devouring Ghost. ”Put it on my forehead.”

Xiang Shaoyun did as told and sent the headband flying toward Devouring Ghost's forehead. Abruptly, strands of fearsome power surged out of Devouring Ghost.

Bang! Bang!

The dreadfully destructive power slammed right into the headband. Fortunately, the Nether Dragon Soul Headband was incredibly tough and wasn't the least bit damaged. Xiang Shaoyun was given a fright, and because of that, he lost control over the headband, and it started to drop down to the ground.

”b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! You people imprisoned me for so many years! You dream of preventing my escape? Impossible! Just you wait. I, Devouring Ghost, shall reappear in the world. I will not spare a single one of you!” roared Devouring Ghost as he lifted the headband with his soul power and placed it on his forehead again. Next, a clump of boundless soul power converged at the s.p.a.ce between the two ends of the headband.
