Chapter 1611: Ancient Monster (1/2)

“You’re sure you can seal off the abyss passageway indefinitely and take us away from this purgatory whenever we want to?”

Lieyan Ge stared at Qin Lie with bright eyes. He felt as if every pore in his body was relaxing at once.

“That’s right.” Qin Lie nodded.

“Can you… deploy the Abyss Devil Race bloodline in your body now?” asked Lieyan Ge.

Qin Lie was caught off guard by the question.

He finally realized that his Abyss Devil Race bloodline had calmed down before he realized it. This happened after he acquired the Galaxy Mirror, and the Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline became extraordinarily active.

Not long ago, using that purple crystal in his Soul Altar often caused him to lose control of his emotions and enter the form of an Abyss Devil.

He was even worried that the flaws in his bloodline would surface and cause him to explode to death because he had ascended to rank nine.

However, his anxiety had suddenly lessened after his Demon Spirit of Space and Time bloodline had become active.

It was as if its rejuvenation had somehow temporarily subdued the restlessness in his bloodline.

As a result, the most problematic of his bloodlines, the Abyss Devil Race bloodline, had grown abnormally silent, and he could take on the form of an Abyss Devil, a human, or a God Race clansman without worries.

For now, he didn’t need to worry about the flaws in his bloodline suddenly exploding in his face without warning.

“For now, it seems to be under control,” answered Qin Lie after a short moment.

Lieyan Ge shot him a deep look before saying, “It may have something to do with the Galaxy Mirror.”

“What?” Qin Lie exclaimed in astonishment.

“I heard from Han Che that he sensed the… Abyss Master’s aura from you. This meant that the power you obtain came from the Nether River, am I right?” Lieyan Ge asked.

Qin Lie nodded immediately in confirmation.

“The Abyss Master’s name is Castor. He was an Abyss Devil who had transcended rank ten bloodline, and the former master of the Abyss. He was killed by the monarchs of the Eight Purgatories and the patriarch of the Demon Spirit of Space and Time Race. These demon spirits had suffered huge casualties during that battle. They had lost a lot of rank ten clansmen, their patriarch, and even the Galaxy Mirror in the process.”

Lieyan Ge continued with a serious look, “Of course, you are lucky to come by a portion of Castor’s power over dead souls. However, he was also the one who almost single-handedly annihilated the entire Demon Spirit of Space and Time Race. That is why the Galaxy Mirror suppresses and rejects his power.”

“Right now, the power you possess probably isn’t too strong yet. That is why the Galaxy Mirror is able to suppress it.”

“But if you keep this up… it’s only a matter of time before the Galaxy Mirror loses control of it completely.”

“Castor’s power over dead souls is one of the most evil and terrifying abilities in the entire universe. When he transcended rank ten, he had a wish to transform every race with a living soul to dead souls.”

“That wish turned out to be his doom.”

“The Demon Spirits of Space and Time and the eight great Devil Monarchs aren’t the only reasons behind his death. A lot of peak powers were involved in it as well.”

“Again, you are lucky to have come by his power, but it may land you in a heap of troubles that are out of your control as well.”

Lieyan Ge was currently the oldest elder in the Blaze Family. He was extremely familiar with the incidents from millions of years ago.

He knew practically anything that once shook the entire galaxy.

In fact, he was an active participant in many of these incidents.

That was why he was able to figure out so many things after knowing that Qin Lie possessed both the Galaxy Mirror and the truth fragments of the dead souls.

“The previous Abyss Master, Castor, wanted to turn every race with a living soul to dead souls…” Qin Lie muttered to himself.

His knowledge regarding the former master of the dead souls and the decline of the Demon Spirits of Space and Time had been refreshed thanks to Lieyan Ge.

“You need to remember that Castor’s true enemy was the Imperial Soul Monarch of the Soul Race. The Imperial Soul Monarch, the entire Soul Race and even the techniques and powers they cultivated are all based on live souls. As long as the soul was alive, the Imperial Soul Monarch had almost limitless ways to control it, possess it, take it over, and turn it into his many avatars. This is also how the Soul Race grows in population and strength.”

“However, Castor cultivated the power of dead souls. The very foundations of their power were in conflict with each other.”
