Xiang Shaoyun had no idea just how powerful this remnant soul was.

”You really think I can't do anything to you?” asked the soul.

”Of course not. Since you can survive until now, it is obvious you are powerful. However...you are still a dead man. Why do you care about the treasures of the living?” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Haha, so you really don't fear me,” the soul roared with laughter. ”I was planning to spare you because we are family, but looks like I have no choice but to destroy you.”

After saying that, a st.u.r.dy figure walked out from behind the statue. The figure was actually an extremely powerful nether prison devil. This was clearly a nether prison devil puppet, as there was no vitality whatsoever to be detected from its body. That was why it had been able to stay undetected.

Even so, Xiang Shaoyun could sense that this puppet was definitely an extremely powerful nether prison devil when alive. This was a puppet made from an actual nether prison devil. Finally, the calm expression vanished from Xiang Shaoyun's face.

”Erm, b-brother, I was playing a joke! A joke! You don't have to take it seriously! I'm leaving right now. Enjoy your slumber!” said Xiang Shaoyun while stepping back. He was really behaving in a cowardly fas.h.i.+on now, but it wasn't like he had any other choices. Before absolute strength, he was completely helpless.

”Not so fast. I have a great idea. I can still steal your body. I only need to seriously injure you before using a soul sealing technique to seal your soul. Not even the divine treasure can save you from that. Don't worry. Your soul will still be able to continue existing like how I have been existing. You can then wait until the next junior of our clan comes so you can steal his body and undergo rebirth. Too bad you're too weak. I'm afraid even if a junior does come in the future, you won't be able to do much,” said the remnant soul in excitement. It then commanded the puppet, ”Cripple him.”

Xiang Shaoyun started das.h.i.+ng toward the entrance. He moved rapidly, instantly arriving before the entrance. He thought he would be able to escape, but the repelling force had reappeared and blocked his path of escape. The nether prison devil puppet arrived before him and threw a heavy punch at him.

Sphhlt!

Xiang Shaoyun felt like his waist had snapped from the punch as his body flew away before cras.h.i.+ng heavily on the ground. He coughed blood without stop, dyeing the ground around him red. That punch was akin to a collapsing mountain that had crushed him under its weight. This was a strength surpa.s.sing the Emperor Realm, a power of a Sovereign.

Xiang Shaoyun could no longer get back on his feet, but he still maintained his consciousness and knew that his opponent had no intention of really destroying his body. The nether prison devil puppet rushed over and gave him a kick.

Xiang Shaoyun felt like his internal organs were going to burst apart from the impact of the kick. Without any hesitation, he released his Nether Soul Domain. If not even his Nether Soul Domain could stop this puppet, there was nothing else he could do. He had thought that he would be able to obtain some inheritance from this trip to further increase his strength and trump cards, but everything had progressed differently from his expectations. He had instead thrown himself into danger.

After the Nether Soul Domain spread and enveloped the entire area, Xiang Shaoyun's soul started attacking the nether prison devil puppet. A total of 49 chains shot out and wrapped around the nether prison devil puppet's body before tightening up around it, trying to crush it. Unfortunately, the chains as powerful as the attack of an eighth-stage Emperor was not enough to deal with this puppet.

”Roar!”

The nether prison devil puppet roared and shook its body, instantly breaking all the chains. Even the s.p.a.ce around it started warping.
