Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 257 - The Strongest Isn't Always The Winner.

Swoosh!

The moment the Great Luo Martial God caught Ling Chen, he didn't waste any time as he released his divine soul from his body which was in the form of an azure flame phantom.

The azure flame phantom was at least fifteen feet tall and looked similar to the Great Luo Martial God. As soon as it appeared, the temperature of the room suddenly dropped and transformed into an icy purgatory as a bone-chilling frigid air permeated the area.

With Ling Chen's fleshy body and realm, he was impervious to cold or heat. However, he was freezing at this moment due to the appearance of the Great Luo Martial God's divine soul. It was as though his soul was the embodiment of the severe and extreme cold itself.

"Don't worry, once I'm done exterminating and obliterating your soul, this whole planet will follow suit. I can't afford to leave any trace of my presence here, otherwise, those bastards will find me again." The Great Luo Martial God's cold voice rang out in Ling Chen's mind as an evil grin appeared on his lips before he shot towards Ling Chen's forehead like an arrow and began to bore into him.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen didn't struggle nor dodge the incoming divine soul as he easily and effortlessly let it entered his sea of consciousness.

Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to dodge it even if he wanted to. Even after the Great Luo Martial God's divine soul had left his body, his body was still strong as always and he was also very fast. So fast that he didn't even notice the evil grin on Ling Chen's lips as his divine soul entered his sea of consciousness.

"What the hell is this place."Blurted out the Great Luo Martial God with a surprised and confused expression on his face as he was looking at his surrounding.

At this moment, the Great Luo Martial God's frame of mind was in extreme chaos. After his divine soul had drilled into Ling Chen's forehead, he was expected to appear within his sea of consciousness.

However, instead of appearing in Ling Chen's sea of consciousness, he found himself in a whole different place. A place that he has never seen or heard before.

The moment entered this place, he was greeted by an endless white void filled with light energy. There was no end to this place and it seemed as though all the light affinities in the entire universe were gathered in this place.

However, that wasn't all. The most shocking thing was that in the middle of this endless white void filled with light energy was a giant Dark Godly Tree.

The giant Dark Godly Tree blotted out within this never-ending white space like an umbrella. Whether it was its leaves or branches, they were darker than even the darkest ink.

Looking at the Giant Dark Godly Tree, the divine soul of the Great Luo Martial God couldn't help but tremble violently as instinctive fear rose from within. The expression on his face looked as though he had just seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, the Great Luo Martial God felt as if the devil itself has his eyes on him. Just looking at the giant dark tree made him feel like his divine soul was about to collapse.

Aside from that, he could feel an ancient and primeval aura coming from the giant dark tree. It was as if this aura was the origin of all things in the endless universe.

"Where...where the hell is this?" The Great Luo Martial God asked again with a frightened expression on his face.

Despite his high cultivation base and powerful Devine soul, he couldn't help but to be terrified and filled with worries at the moment.

As the Great Luo Martial God was surveying his surrounding, a cold and emotionless voice suddenly thundered out the whole endless white space."Welcome to my world, Great Luo Martial God."

Swoosh!

At the same time, the light energy in front of the Great Luo Martial God began to swirl around until it formed a golden phantom figure that looked exactly like Ling Chen.

"You seem very confused, Great Luo Martial God." Ling Chen's golden phantom figure said with an evil grin on his face.

"Ling Chen!" Blurted out the Great Martial God with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yeah, it's me. Don't tell me you already forgot about me?" Mockingly answered Ling Chen.

"Where is this place?" Hurriedly asked the Great Luo Martial God.

At this moment, he didn't care about the mocking tone of Ling Chen. He only cared about this weird place.

From all his years roaming the 7th Rings of the Chaos Universe, he had never seen or heard of a such place.

"Ohh, this place! Didn't I tell you before, this is my world. You can also call it my sea of consciousness. As for the giant dark tree over there, that's my nascent soul." Answered Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face.

"Your sea of consciousness? Impossible!"He shouted in shock and disbelief.

One couldn't blame him. In the entire 9th Ring Chaos Universe, there's no record of such a thing. Someone having an endless white void as a sea of consciousness and giant corporeal and physical Dark Tree as a nascent soul. That was never heard of.

Who didn't know that a Nascent Soul was supposed to be an incorporeal substance?

At this moment, the Great Luo Martial God's mind was in shambles. He didn't know what to believe.

"If you can't tell me the truth then I can only force it out of you." Coldly said the Great Luo Martial God as his hollow eyes flickered with an ominous glint before he pounced towards Ling Chen like a cheetah.

With his powerful divine soul, he couldn't believe that he can't reach a little Heavenly Deity realm a lesson.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

However, before he could even get close to Ling Chen, numerous golden chains made of light energy materialized out of nowhere and chained his divine soul down like a prisoner.

"What did you do to me?" Shouted the Great Luo Martial God as he was trying to break free from the restraint of the golden chains. However, no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't to break free.

"It seems like you haven't understood your situation yet. In this place, I am the Heaven itself and the Supreme God."

"The rule of the outside world does not apply in this place. Whatever I say goes in this world. The moment you had the idea about destroying my soul and take possession of my mortal body, your fate was already sealed." Explained Ling Chen while looking at the chained divine soul of the Great Luo Martial God with a devilish smile on his face.

"Dammit!; How could this be happening?"Gleams of rage appeared in eyes of the Great Luo Martial God. Even if he didn't want, he had no choice but to believe Ling Chen no matter how absurd his claims were. He could tell that this entire place was under Ling Chen's control.

"No wonder there wasn't a hint of fear in your eyes after knowing my plan and even bravely barged into my place despite knowing you had no chance of defeating me."

"Just like you had schemed against the old man and the other Demi-God ants, you had already set up a sinister scheme against me and used your own mortal body as the bait. I was simply too self-confident." Said the Great Luo Martial God with a grim and unwilling expression on his face.

"Bingo! did you really think I was stupid enough to go toes to toes against an old monster and fossil like you with my strength? I might be strong compared to the people living in this world, but I know my limitation and power. Sometimes you have to use your head to defeat a strong opponent." Explained Ling Chen.

"In a battle or a war, the strongest one isn't always the winner but the winner is always the strongest one. Now, I'm done talking, it's time to absorb your soul." Ling Chen added before a thin branch that looked like a dark vine flew out of the giant dark godly tree and pierced through the divine soul of the Great Luo Martial God like an arrow.

Swoosh!

The moment the thin dark branch pierced through the Great Luo Martial God's divine soul, it started to absorb his soul greedily at an amazing rate.

"Dammit. Dammit!!" Seeing this, the Great Luo Martial God couldn't but scream in terror.

How could he ever have imagined that something like this would happen immediately upon his awakening?

All of his grand aspirations, his wild ambitions, his complex machinations, and even his dream of breaking through the legendary 9th Life Transition, were now being utterly shaken. In fact, he was even able to sense that his consciousness was starting to fade.

"Ling Chen, stop. If you were to kill me, my subordinate outside will not only kill your whole family and destroy your Sect, he will also destroy this world."

"He has a wisp of my soul in a jade. As soon as my soul disappears, he will know." Yelled out the Great Luo Martial God. It didn't matter whether he was a powerful GodKing expert, he refused to accept the idea of dying in this way. Especially being killed by a little Heavenly Deity Realm warrior like Ling Chen.

"Hahaha! You don't have to worry about that. Before I came here, I already sent all my children to protect my family and some of my friends. If a powerful enemy that they couldn't defeat was to appear, they would safely retreat within my Endless Dark Void along with them. As for the world, well, I was never a hero." Ling Chen said while laughing madly as he continued to absorb the soul of the Great Luo Martial God.

Meanwhile, the power of Ling Chen's soul was increasing with maddening rapidity. In the blink of an eye, it broke past its previous limit and attained a brand new realm that even Ling Chen didn't know of.

In contrast, the divine soul of the Great Luo Martial God was growing weaker and weaker. Eventually, it reached the point where he was on the verge of being completely consumed.

At the same time, a huge amount of memories were flooding into Ling Chen's mind. They were all the memories of the Great Luo Martial God. However, he didn't have time to pay attention to them as he was consecrated on absorbing his powerful Divine soul. It was Ling Chen's first time absorbing such a powerful divine soul.

"Give me a chance to live!" he wailed. "There is no enmity between us!!"

However, no matter how much the Great Luo Martial God shouted and beg, Ling Chen didn't even look at him as he continued to devour his divine soul.

Seeing this, the Great Luo Martial God started to curse him and saying all kinda words. However, Ling Chen still turned a deaf ear.

After another minute or so have gone by, Ling Chen was finally done and completely absorbed the powerful divine soul of the Great Luo Martial God.

"Now, it's time to absorb your blood and life essence." Murmured Ling Chen with a greedy look on his face as he opened his eyes and looked at the fleshy body of the Great Luo Martial God.
