"This..."
Such a fierce assault left the Celestial Secret Daoist no time to dodge.
After all, part of his cultivation had already been suppressed by Lin Changâshengâs divine sense, slowing his movements.
"Heaven seeks the destruction of my Beimu Immortal Raceâ"
The Celestial Secret Daoist instantly gave up resisting, knowing full well that death was certain today.
Splurtâ
In the next instant, a streak of blood aura blossomed through the sky, and with a single move, Lin Changâsheng slew the Celestial Secret Daoist, ending his life high above.
From a distance, the Little Divine Master watched, his legs shaking uncontrollably, even forgetting to run.
Buzzâ
As soon as the Celestial Secret Daoist perished, a golden nascent soul shot out, yet before it could get far, Lin Changâsheng waved the Myriad Soul Banner, absorbing it inside.
After collecting both the nascent soul and corpse of the Celestial Secret Daoist, Lin Changâsheng set his gaze on the Little Divine Master.
The Little Divine Master was truly a prodigyâunder thirty and had already reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.
If not for a monster like Lin Changâsheng, he wouldâve surely shone bright.
Yet with Lin Changâsheng present, all these so-called heroes instantly paled in comparison.
"Sp-spare meâ"
The Little Divine Master struggled to utter two words, but before he could finish, Lin Changâsheng crushed him with a single punch.
Having wiped out the Beimu Immortal Raceâs mighty ones and his master, if the Little Divine Master grew to power, he would never let Lin Changâsheng live.
To actually let him go would be the height of stupidity.
In this world where only the strong surviveâif you donât devour others, youâll be devoured.
Lin Changâsheng would naturally choose the former, leaving no threat behind.
"Let me reunite you all for the last time!"
Lin Changâsheng extracted the Little Divine Masterâs soul and sealed it inside the Myriad Soul Banner.
From now on, the strong of the Beimu Immortal Race had been completely slaughtered by Lin Changâsheng.
Among them were the Beimu Immortal Emperor, Celestial Concealment Divine Master, Celestial Secret Daoist, Little Divine Masterânow all gathered together.
Inside the Myriad Soul Banner, Beimuâs countless souls stared at one another.
The vast Beimu Immortal Race, laid to waste by just Lin Changâsheng aloneâa disgrace beyond anything theyâd ever known.
"Lin Changâsheng, donât be arrogant! Master Bi Xi will avenge us! Heâll light your soul on the Sky Lantern and damn you to wander forever, never to reincarnate!"
Celestial Concealment shouted furiously from within the Myriad Soul Banner.
In his eyes, Master Bi Xi would never just sit and watch them be slaughtered.
So long as Master Bi Xi acts, Lin Changâsheng is as good as dead. Then, they could be released, given a chance at rebirth.
But Lin Changâsheng would be damned for all eternity.
Hearing this, the Celestial Secret Daoist could only shake his head in resignation.
"You donât know, do you? That so-called Master Bi Xi of yours is trapped in my grand array and canât even save himself!"
Lin Changâsheng flung out those words, then exited the Myriad Soul Bannerâs space.
"No. Impossible. Tell me heâs lying!"
Celestial Concealment Divine Master stared at the Celestial Secret Daoist, hoping heâd reveal Lin Changâsheng as a liar.
Yet the Celestial Secret Daoist said not a single word.
Was Lin Changâsheng telling the truth?
Even Master Bi Xi is no match for Lin Changâsheng? Trapped in his grand array and unable to escape?
Was his final hope shattered as well?
"Impossible, impossible! Master Bi Xi comes from the Burial Immortal Realm, his strength terrifying! How could he be powerless against that beast Lin Changâsheng? Impossible! This isnât realâ"
Celestial Concealment refused to believe, mouthing the words over and over, as if possessed.
....
Celestial Pool City.
As time passed,
Bi Xiâs primordial spirit power was steadily drained, his realm fell, now slipped down to the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation.
He thought obliterating Lin Changâsheng would be almost effortless, yet once outside, not only did he fail to kill him in an instant, he was actually trapped by Lin Changâshengâs grand array, unable to break free, his primordial spirit power consumed without end.
At this point, with thousands of souls attacking him, even without them, lingering too long outside the Stone Statue Soul Guard Array would doom his primordial spirit to exhaustion and death.
Rumbleâ
Under assault from three Divinity Transformation-level souls, Bi Xi finally collapsed, smashed to the ground in utter misery.
At that moment, Lin Changâsheng arrived as well.
"Your end has come. Slay himâ!"
Lin Changâsheng commanded the three Divinity Transformation souls, intent on obliterating Bi Xi directly.
"Bi Xi is a spirit beastâsign a Divine Soul Contract Beast pact with him. Itâll help you later when you head for the Burial Immortal Realm!"
Just as Lin Changâssheng was about to finish Bi Xi off with his three Divinity Transformation souls, Xiaobaiâs voice rang out.
Instantly, Lin Changâssheng halted his hand.
He sensed that Xiaobaiâs words made sense.
Killing Bi Xi brought him nothing; taming Bi Xi as his spirit beast could reap great benefits in the future.
"Bi Xi, are you willing to become my spirit beast and sign a contract with me?"
Lin Changâssheng spoke.
This Divine Soul Contract Technique is made with the divine soul itself, so even if Bi Xi lacked a physical body, it didnât matter.
If need be, heâd just find Bi Xi a new body later.
"I am willing!"
Bi Xiâs eyes rolled once, and he accepted immediately.
Having gotten Bi Xiâs assent, Lin Changâssheng entered the grand array, slicing his finger to prepare for the contract.
But just as Lin Changâssheng reached out, a beam of light shot straight from Bi Xiâs crown at Lin Changâsshengâs chest.
If not for Lin Changâsshengâs vigilance, dodging immediately, heâd have been killed on the spot by Bi Xiâs sneak attack.
"How could youâ"
Bi Xi thought his ambush would finish Lin Changâssheng with a single strike, but even at point-blank, Lin Changâssheng evaded him.
"You ask why Iâm able to react? You think I canât read your mind? You just wonât give up until you see your own coffin! Hit him again!"
Lin Changâssheng darted forward, commanding his three Divinity Transformation souls to thrash Bi Xi without mercy.
They beat Bi Xi till he howled in agonyâonly a wisp of his primordial spirit remained.
Seeing Bi Xiâs primordial spirit unraveling, Lin Changâssheng immediately cast the Divine Soul Contract Technique.
Blood from his fingertip dripped onto Bi Xiâs crown, instantly merging into his form.
The contract Lin Changâssheng signed with Bi Xi was not the Life and Death Contract, but a Master-Servant Contract.
Meaning, if Lin Changâssheng perished, Bi Xi would perish as well.
But the Life and Death Contract would bind their fates, sharing both fortune and calamity.
Bi Xi wouldnât dare harbor the slightest ill intent ever again.
Blood light enveloped Bi Xi completely, preserving the last strand of his primordial spirit.
Afterwards, Lin Changâssheng stowed him away inside the Spirit Beast Bag.
In Lin Changâsshengâs mind, a slight new connection formedâthe bridge of communication with Bi Xi.
"Collect!"
Now that Bi Xi was subdued, Lin Changâssheng gathered all the souls back into the Myriad Souls.
Right now, Celestial Pool City was a living purgatoryâbesides Lin Changâssheng and Yu Wenjing, not a trace of life remained.
"Time to forge the Million Soul Banner!"
Glancing at the amassed souls inside the Myriad Soul Banner, Lin Changâssheng muttered to himself.
All the souls belonged to his enemiesâLin Changâssheng felt not a shred of pity.
Once the Million Soul Banner is refined, its power will be enough to threaten even a Divinity Transformation-stage powerhouse.
