The Eternal battle

Chapter 218: Atreus

Inside the Star Ship, Arcana sat for cultivation while Shi Tu remained seated doing nothing and seemed to be very bored.

Thankfully he didn't sit down for long, after a few hours the Star Ship stopped again and they got off.

In front of them was a strange sight, energy-rich land, such a land should be the reason many would fight for it, but no one's presence could be felt.

Once they got out, Arcana felt that there was a strange soul power trying to break into her soul.

" Do you feel it? "

" Are these lost souls? "

"yeh, on this realm, a lot of powerful people died within a few years and for some reason, anyone who dies here becomes a soul without intelligence that seeks only to eat other souls of anyone who enters here, for this reason is called the Ghosts Realm, Sparta. "

" It's a good place for soul cultivating. "

Shi Tu plucked a random grass, put it in his mouth, and started cultivating.

" This ..."josei

By virtue of the mysterious nature of the place and the absence of any strong cultivators in the first heaven, Arcana doesn't know anything about this place, because in general knowledge, whoever enters does not go out and there is no exception, and this place is in the eastern region, which made it impossible to come here.

Arcana noticed Shi Tu's condition, he seems cultivating his soul too quickly.

Usually, the easiest way to strengthen a soul is to absorb other souls, but the process takes a long time in order to refine souls and dispose of their intelligence.

Arcana also picked up a grass at random and noticed that the grass is extremely rich with soul power which makes it ideal for helping someone cultivate his soul because this soul power is a hugely pure soul power and doesn't contain any intelligence so it can be refined directly.

Arcana didn't hesitate and started cultivating as well.

After some time, Shi Tu stood up and advanced a little before starting cultivation again, after some time, Arcana did the same.

It seems that the more you go in this direction the more lost souls get stronger, so nothing is better than cultivating under external pressure.

This lasted for an unknown time before they reached great city.

The city was grear and surrounded by huge and thick walls, which indicates the strength of those who built this city, however, inside it was completely different from outside.

The effects of chopping down houses and the land were clear, as if a sword had pierced everything, as well as all kinds of weapons spread everywhere from swords, axes, shields, spears and even some strange weapons that Arcana had never seen before.

In the middle of this village was the corpse of a man drowned in a small pool of blood, but it gave a great oppressive feeling that kept all lost souls away from the city.

Shi Tu spontaneously approached and kicked the body and looked at his face.

" This ..... Is this the corpse of Atreus? "

Given the great similarity between this young man's face and Zhan Xieshen, it's possible to guess his identity, but this isn't certain, but what made her confident of her judgment was the fatal aura emanating from the blood that was clearly Atreus's blood by looking at the stab on his chest.

" Shi Tu ..."

Arcana stared in amazement at Shi Tu, stepping on the body of Atreus with his foot as if he were a random ant.

"He might be dead but you said he's your friend. I don't think it's right for you to treat your friend's corpse like this. "

Completely ignoring Arcana, Shi Tu didn't push his feet away but rather pressed hard to get the blood still inside Atreus' body.

" Just a worthless corpse, it doesn't mean anything to me. "

" You ...."

Arcana made her decision and grabbed a thrown sword on the ground, pointed at Shi Tu.

" Shi Tu, leave him, you can't do this to your friend's corpse. "

Despite all the massacres that Shi Tu did in all his lifes, he always kept his promises and never harmed his allies, followers, or even his subjects from among the common people unless they betrayed him first, but Shi Tu now abuse his friend's corpse?

For Arcana, this is totally unacceptable behavior and she cannot allow Shi Tu to do something like this so that he doesn't lose his last remaining humanity.

Currently, the problem isn't whether what Shi Tu is doing now is good or bad, but rather its consequences.

If Arcana allows Shi Tu to abuse the body of someone whom he considers a true friend, then this means that he's no longer the Shi Tu that she loves who values ​​human relations anymore, but rather is just a completely rational being and there are only two types of persons for him, useful and useless.

Without looking at Arcana, Shi Tu narrowed deeply and said with dismay, " Do you think I care about a lifeless corpse? "

Shi Tu's voice became completely cold and all kindness disappeared from his tone, " I was generous enough not to get rid of you and give you a chance, but you have the nerve to offend me? "

Without hesitation, Shi Tu waved his hand, a sword that was on the ground flew into his hand.

" Do you want to disappear? "

Shi Tu's aura rose powerfully and impressively with a heavy killing intent that terrified even Arcana.

In front of this aura emanating from Shi Tu, Arcana realized that Shi Tu not joke, all her instincts refined over a long period screamed that she is in danger of death.

Nevertheless, Arcana didn't retreat in front of death, if the Shi Tu whom she loved had truly died and only this person standing before her remained, she would rather die in this battle than continue in life.

Arcana's eyes shone a deep blue and were ready to fight at any moment.

Shi Tu raised his sword high as if he was going to slash, but unexpectedly, Shi Tu planted the sword on the ground amid the blood pool.

Immediately, the blood was absorbed by the sword, the sword was completely repaired, and its color changed to bloody red, and a dense bloody aura appeared around him as if he wanted to kill everything.

Shi Tu raised the sword and said with satisfaction.

" Hey, good boy, at least you are not stupid for billions of years old bloodline, you know very well what to do. "

Finally, Shi Tu looked at Arcana who was in a fighting position and surrounded by a strong soul power with a slightly gloomy aura as if she was going to commit suicide.

" What is wrong with you? You look like a warrior going to death with his feet, has the arrogance of the gods blood affected you? This bastard, even though he was in front of me, is in fact daring to care about someone else? "

Shi Tu carried the sword and stared at him angrily as if he was in front of a living person and not a sword.

Shi Tu pulled his fist on the bloody sword between his hand and looked at him with a fatal look causing the sword to tremble as if he was denying any connection to the matter.

"Do you dare deny? Don't tell me you want me to believe I was previously touched by some lost soul, right?"

"The arrogance of the gods blood? Haaa?! "

Faced with a shocking evolution, Arcana's mind quickly worked to understand what had just happened.

It seems that Shi Tu was not talking to her but was talking with the arrogance of the gods blood, it seems that it was preserved here after the death of Atreus and after absorbing so many lost souls he developed some spiritual intelligence.

Probably, Shi Tu wanted to subdue it and refine it into a sword, but the arrogance of the gods blood wanted to resist at first and it almost ended in a fight.

Arcana regained her intelligence and said again.

" Regardless of your intentions, why did you treat Atreus' body this way? Also, even if it's precious, I find it wrong to refine the blood of your dead friend into a sword."

Shi Tu scratched his eyebrows a little and said, " it's true that Atreus had died earlier but when I told you that he is still dead? "

" What do you mean? Obviously ..... wait! don't you tell me it's artificial reincarnation? "

Arcana uttered the last words in a trembling voice, as if she didn't believe what she was saying.

Shi Tu smiled and said, " Exactly "

" Imp .... how is it possible? "

Arcana wanted to yell that this was impossible but she backed down because Shi Tu hates hearing that word.

" Reincarnation is one of the completely independent laws in the thirty-three Heavens, only the Heavenly law controls it, until now everyone who remembers his memories from his past life was after he was a trash even among mortals in his previous life and became strong this time. As for the strong cultivators, their souls are divided and reincarnated into Many people, and for rare cases like you, the circumstances behind it are unknown."

Arcana looked at Shi Tu in awe and said, "If a person can reincarnate at will, it simply means that he is close to achieving true eternal life."
