Chapter 401 (2/2)

”Ok,” Xiang Shaoyun replied and started withdrawing the Imperial Nether Prison. He did not fully withdraw it, though. He maintained enough of it to cover his room and continued studying it.

”Prison, from its name, it is obvious this is used for imprisonment. The restrictive force from the Nether Soul Domain is the energy powering the prison. However, this is not its final form. Solidify!” Xiang Shaoyun continued studying the essence of the ability when he suddenly shouted and stirred his soul power. He started waving all 10 of his fingers, manipulating the nether soul energy around him.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Strands of nether soul energy appeared and took the form of chains. Each looked like a real chain, swaying about as it changed freely in length, showcasing the ability to shackle anything. At the command of his thought, the 10 chains immediately shot toward a broken chair in the room.

Bang!

The chair was instantly crushed into pieces. Clearly, the chair was too badly damaged to handle the chains' might. Xiang Shaoyun used the same method to manipulate the 10 chains, sending them flying like 10 nimble dragons. They were extremely flexible and agile, capable of shrinking and extending freely.

Apart from that, he also learned that the moment one went inside the Imperial Nether Prison, one's combat prowess would drop by at least 30 percent. One's connection with spiritual energy and external astral energy would also be severed.

The nether soul energy was also capable of eroding the mind of those trapped within, causing them to completely lose themselves and eventually die through the complete erasure of their souls. These were the wondrous functions of the Nether Soul Domain, allowing one to become the master of the s.p.a.ce within the prison.

Of course, for the Nether Soul Prison to be able to do all that, the Nether Soul Domain needed to first grow stronger so as to ensure the user had a sufficiently powerful soul to make use of such power.

After finding out about all that, Xiang Shaoyun burst out with laughter and said, ”What a great ability. I can definitely catch any opponent by surprise with it.”

He did not know if his Imperial Nether Clan bloodline came from the mother he had never met, but he did not intend to think too much about its origin anyway. He considered anything capable of helping him grow stronger to be something good for him. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun had the time to take a look at the ghostrunes in his Nether Soul Domain. His eyes almost popped out in shock.

”There are only about 10,000 of them left? But not one of them is below the Transformation Realm anymore. There are about 300 or 400 Kings, and there are even two new Emperors!” a wide smile formed on Xiang Shaoyun's face.

When the ghostrunes sensed Xiang Shaoyun's attention, they immediately knelt down and greeted him, ”Greetings, master.”

”Rise, everyone,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He was quite surprised, as he had not expected that all these ghostrunes would so easily acknowledge him as their master. He asked, ”What do you think about living outside?”

”No, master. We wish to keep staying here. This place is very suited to us. We swear to remain forever loyal to you, master,” vowed Gui Qi on behalf of all the ghostrunes.

All the ghostrunes had an expectant look. It was obvious none of them wanted to leave.

”Haha, sure. I was just joking,” said Xiang Shaoyun. ”You can stay here, but you will have to obey my every command in the future. Otherwise, I will either kick all of you out or directly kill all of you in here.”

”Yes, master,” the ghostrunes replied.

”Splendid. I have a perfect chance for you to demonstrate your loyalty,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a glint in his eyes.
