Chapter 1683: Old Affairs of the Bone Race (1/2)

There was another reason why Castor had sought out the Bone Race as an ally, one more important than the fact that they could create Corpse Demons from dead bodies without expending any of the souls he needed.

The Bone Race was naturally powerful against the Soul Race.

A Soul Race clansman was well-versed in the secret arts of the soul. They were especially good at invading another being’s soul and transforming them into their soul servants.

However, the Corpse Demons had no souls.

Since the Corpse Demons were soulless, they were immune to the Soul Race’s attacks.

The only thing the Soul Race had that could threaten the Corpse Demons was their flesh and blood puppet.

A long time ago, Castor had commanded to Bone Race to launch an attack against the Soul Race using the Corpse Demons as frontliners.

The Soul Race was shockingly powerless against a soulless army of corpses.

The Soul Race’s secret arts such as Soul Burial and their spirit artifacts only worked against a being of soul.

This meant that most of the skills that made their race famous were useless against the Corpse Demons. Forced to fight the Corpse Demons with only their flesh and blood puppets, they had suffered huge casualties as a result.

That was how Castor and the Bone Race had given the Soul Race a hard time.

After Castor was eliminated and sealed away, the Soul Race had pushed very hard for the extermination of the Bone Race.

The Bone Race only managed to survive because the God Race and the Spirit Race believed that they were a legitimate threat to the Soul Race and refrained from killing them.

But the Soul Race had never stopped attacking the Bone Race for the past million years.

The Bone Race also thought of the Soul Race as their biggest enemy even after they had regained their strength.

The situation hadn’t changed to this day.

Qin Lie’s Blood Soul Beast avatar was clearly a powerful Soul Race clansman. He would be in deep trouble if he appeared in the Bone Race’s territory recklessly and was discovered.

And this was without accounting for Gutas, a Bone Race clansman who had been permanently exiled from the Bone Race.

It was no wonder that Gutas was as afraid as he was.

“I see…”

Qin Lie muttered to himself thoughtfully after obtaining Gutas’ memory and learning about the past of the Bone Race and the Soul Race.

Gutas begged him, “Let’s leave while we still can, master.”

“There’s no hurry.”

Qin Lie shook his head and looked at the distant stars. Knowing that they all belonged to the Bone Race, he started planning his next move.

“I can feel a warship of the Bone Race approaching us right now,” Gutas said bitterly.

“Oh? How do you know that?” Qin Lie asked curiously.

“I’m a Bone Race clansman after all.”.

“Well, this is perfect.” Qin Lie didn’t look bothered in the slightest. “I was hoping to meet Salleh anyway.”

“Salleh? You know Salleh?” Gutas seemed slightly surprised by this.

“Of course.”

While they were conversing with each other, Qin Lie suddenly directed his gaze in a particular direction. Even after he had assumed human form, his eyes were still bluish green in color.

A giant starship made of bones and deathly aura slowly entered their view.

Highly intelligent races such as the God Race and the Spirit Race normally traveled the stars using unique giant starships.

These giant starships ensured that their bloodline warriors could study the power of bloodline without being affected by the occasional wash of energy that came from their surroundings.

Most of these starships possessed incredible offensive power as well. It was both the symbol of the strength of a race and a powerful offensive weapon.
