Chapter 271 - Array Offerings (2/2)

“I was not wrong. Not wrong!”

“The next time you try to achieve a Dao, try reading a book!” Shen Ying advised him seriously. “Otherwise, you will just become a bastard that was not willing to let even his wife off.”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Bian Xinchen roared. His face was now drained of all colour. He could do nothing to stop the God Power from draining out of his body and his cultivation level from further deteriorating. By now, he was even less powerful than Shortie. “My cultivation level.. My cultivation level.. No…”

“Chef, come over here for awhile.” Shen Ying could no longer be bothered with him. She waved at Chef and pointed to the crazed man who was now grasping at thin air. “Call a soul. I don’t know how to.”

“Call a soul?” Yi Qing stared blankly back at Shen Ying Nevertheless, he conjured a seal and shot it over.

Bian Xinchen could not even fend against Yi QIng’s spells now. A figure of a female floated out from his body in front of everyone.

“Mother Feng!” They cried out. This was Mother Feng’s primary soul. They had not thought that it would be found in his body.

Perhaps because the other parts of her soul were now gone, Mother Feng’s primary soul was in a deep sleep. Both her eyes were closed and she looked extremely calm. She looked nothing like the maniac that they saw just a few moments ago.

Lonemoon quickly conjured a seal and kept Mother Feng’s primary soul. Although all that was left of her was her primary soul, they could still send it to the River of Forgetfulness in the hopes that the power of reincarnation would one day make her soul whole again.

Bian Xinchen’s cultivation level dipped further the moment Mother Feng’s Soul left his body. All the blue God Power around his body disappeared. In a blink of an eye, his cultivation level became incomparable even to Xuan Tong’s.

Everybody frowned and understood why he wanted Mother Feng’s primary soul now. Just as Shen Ying had said earlier, killing his wife did not help him to achieve the Great Dao. Instead, he even might have been granting Mother Feng what she wanted. In the moments before she died, it was likely that Mother Feng no longer felt any love for Bian Xinchen. That was probably the reason why she became a ghost immortal after her death.

Bian Xinchen, on the other hand, did experience an increase in his cultivation level upon accepting Mother Feng’s soul into his body. But he must have realised that something was amiss. That was why he tried to keep Mother Feng’s soul in his body. The increase in his cultivation level was Mother Feng’s!

“That’s weird, where are the other remnant souls?” Lonemoon asked anxiously. He tried a couple of spells to recall the souls, but there was no sign of a single remnant soul making an appearance There was only Mother Feng’s primary soul in Bian Xinchen’s body.

“Heh heh heh…” Bian Xinchen suddenly laughed maniacally. He looked to the group and broke into an evil grin. “You thought I created this mystic realm just to kill Mother Feng?”

“What do you mean?” Lonemoon’s heart sank.

“So what if you got Mother Feng’s primary soul back? All of you will become like her soon – you will never get to reincarnate!” He roared with laughter. “If I cannot become a true god, all of you will perish with me!”

“What did you say!” The entire group exclaimed. Bian Xinchen conjured a seal and his body began to crack apart along with his soul. It looked almost as if they were made of ceramic. Then, the broken pieces disappeared before their very eyes.

“This is… an offering!” Bai Ze gasped.

Before any of them could react, the ground began to shake. The entire mystic realm began to fall apart. They could faintly hear screaming and wailing coming from far away. Red beams of light shone through from on top of their heads.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s the outside!” Lonemoon looked up and shouted. “This mystic realm is falling apart Let’s get out!”

They mounted their swords and flew upward. Just as they exited the mystic realm, they were blinded by an intense red light. The red beams on the outside seemed to reach right to the sky, so that the entire earth seemed to be cut up into pieces by it.
