The draconic soul's hand tightened and then as if the giant titan's entire skin was like a table cloth being removed by one hand. His outer skin was imdiately peeled away from the rest of his body. Sucked into the hand of the Soul.
What was left behind was the sa mass however it no longer looked human, it was a mass of disgustingly intertwined flesh. mbrane and eyes, putrid looking sinus that made the mass of the giant.
The true appearance of that parasitic creature was revealed.
"Damn you're ugly," I said.
The creature howled in agonized pain as every eye on its body vibrated and shuddered, then they all stopped and snapped towards all at once.
"DIE!" ca the word from literally everywhere.
An oppressive shockwave of ntal power shot towards , aiming to crush where I stand.
"Not in my world you won't," I spoke as the wave washed over like a gentle breeze.
"Here, I rule!" I said and from the sea under two arms, where even the titan couldn't hope to match in size surged up.
They then clamped down on the titan forcing it into the sea.
More arms surged up to crush him and drown him down. Though he can't be 'drowned,' he can be hard. And since I can literally make anything I wish within my own sea of consciousness.
"Burn!" I spoke.
And the massive sea turned completely in nature, to a sea of molten magma, burning with the heat of the sun.
The flas were green sa as my own Veridian Heart Fla that fueled this surge of fire. And it would only keep getting hotter.
The creature, forced down into the stone lting heat, couldn't do much but struggle and send useless wave after wave of ntal attacks that served to do nothing but weaken and exhaust him.
"I WILL NOT ALLOW A LESSER CULTIVATOR TO KILL !" it roared this ti surprisingly and powerfully so that everything around it was shot outward creating a tidal wave of magma and fire that spread everywhere.
Yet, it was still forced against its will and into the ground by the arms.
"Is that so," I said as I raised my hand.
"You know, one of my favorite scenes in a novel I read when I was young, was the execution of an evil man. Let's see if I can replicate it," I smiled as I opened my raised hand.
One sword manifested itself above my hand, it looked rather simple in appearance as it hovered slowly above my hand.
That sword was not made of tal, but of pure ntal power, or Soul Power, since nothing can hurt a soul being but soul power itself.
The sword rose up and up until it reached a height I deed sufficient.
Then, the world turned dark by my will.
The sword, looked lonely in the high skies as it shined in green light. And so, it had to have company.
The lone sword split in two, and those two then split up again. And it continued on splitting until all around us, shaped like a do was swords pointing forward all aiming at the creature.
The sight was amazing. Every sword shone like a small star, and the dark lone night was no more, as the bright friendly green of the swords was fighting the darkness of the night.
"Starless Night…" I spoke and then ca the first of the swords rushing towards the creature.
It tore into its flesh rather too easily, and that elicited a scream from the monster. Only for another scream to follow as the second sword ca down. And the third and fourth. As more swords ca down one after another, impaling and penetrating the body of the foul creature as it scread and scread.
The swords continued going down as more were being duplicated, so many of them had fallen that there was no longer any more space left for any sword to land on the body of the giant creature.
Though I have a lot of soul power, I was also feeling a bit of exhaustion from the sudden release of so many soul attacks at once.
The creature could do nothing but wheeze and whine as it was being firmly pinned like a pincushion with more pins than cushion.
I looked up, and like earlier, there were no more swords but one.
It slowly fell down towards the remaining swords and once it touched them.
The whole area surged up in a green hellfire that seed to rage on like a pillar of flas that rose all the way to the high heavens.
The green flas surged and raged on while the creature's voice had long since been extinguished.
The fire continued as I watched it brightly burning, until it began to die down and until it disappeared completely, leaving nothing but the giant arms, and a glistening pool of pure blue liquid.
The soul I harbored imdiately shot towards the pool and dove into it.
Causing the whole thing to funnel right into it.
Once the pool was completely absorbed I was forced out of my own sea of consciousness.
And back into the dark deep space of the Under Void.
Looking to my right there was Master Rain's dumbfounded expression as he saw the giant, the real body this ti slowly dissipating to ash.
"What the hell did you do?" spoke Master Rain.
"Master Rain, look," spoke the retainer who looked too exhausted to even stand up straight.
There were three skeletons floating around where the giant tian was.
And within the three skeletons were three orbs of light.
The orbs removed themselves from the skeletons and ca towards .
Thinking that I will be possessed I readied up my ntal barriers, though I was too exhausted to fight off anything like the giant I just duked it out with. The orbs stopped right in front of and soon began to take a human shape.
Once they were fully ford, "Oh, Sect Master, Elder Wei, Elder Fu Tian," I spoke as I clasped my hands to the three souls.
The brightest of the three-spoke, "You seem to know us… but I do not know you."
"Yes, it could be said that we have t in a past life…" I said.
"You know my Fist of Roaring Ki, I felt that punch, also your body…you drank the Stone Aged milk," he said.
"You taught yourself, and you showed the whereabouts of the Stone Aged milk," I said with my head still bowed.
"I do not have any recollection of such events," he said, "But to have learned my brutish arts ans that you have trained hard, and to have known of where I kept the Stone Aged milk where I shared the location with no one ans you may be speaking true. You have also freed us from that monstrous thing…" he then turned and said, "But that damnable imperial…"
"The Creedless is dead," I said. "Well, at least the one that brought you here, more than tens of thousands of years ago…" I said.
"Such a long ti had gone by…" the sect master said.
"I'm afraid so,"
"My sect…"
"Long since perished… so did the imperials," I said.
The sect master sighed.
"I saw you fight, you have a good aptitude for the Ancient Movent Technique," spoke another person.
"It is because you, elder Wei, you have taught how to improve myself," I said.
"You even know ," he said.
"You have been a friend and ntor. I am sorry I couldn't co any sooner," I said.
"Elder Fu Tian," I said turning to the third one. "Though I have not learned anything directly from you, you helped once before, and for that I am thankful," I said.
"You have co to clear your Karma with us," the sect master said.
"I know nothing about karma, but all I know is you aided once and I just happened to have managed to aid you back," I said.
"It is still Karma, the wheels of fate spin and they will always pay back what is due. Sadly, we do not rember you, and we have very little to offer," the sect master said.
"You have given enough," I replied, "I wouldn't dare to ask for more," I said.
"The Sect Master may, but I have yet to do so," spoke Elder Wei,
"Your friendship was reward enough," I said.
"The three of us will soon perish, I cannot go without repaying this debt," he said and soon a bright little globe of light ca towards , it looked gentle and friendly and soon made contact with my body and faded within.
"It is so knowledge that I used to possess, it shall aid you when the ti is right," Elder Wei said.
"Thank you," I replied.
"As for , You'll head to the Sect of the Crimson Dragon, and tell the Sect Master to repay the Debt of Madness. You shall be rewarded." Spoke Elder Fu Tian.
"Thank you," I said.
The sect master then approached and touched my forehead with a single finger. "This is the final verse of the Fist of Roaring Ki, you cannot use it for now, but once you grow stronger… you'll reign over the world as I did once before… thank you for releasing us," he said.
"Can't you stay," I said, "You are all three powerful people could you not like possess soone?" I said.
The sect Master shook his head, "Our souls have been contaminated and damaged beyond repair, it is only thanks to our high cultivation level and this special place that we're not under the direct gaze of the heavens. Once more ti goes by, The Heavens will locate us and we'll be sent back to the wheel of samsara. Back to life and death. We may et again in another life, under a different na, but I trust that our Karma will be resolved and I will one day repay this debt," he said.
"Ah, looks like we ran out of ti," said Elder Wei.
And just as he spoke, the world above us, the dark void split up as a red giant eye with a dark feline shape pupil looked at us, peering like a creep from beyond a peephole.
The mont it locked onto the three souls, they began shuddering and disintegrating.
"Until we et again… Shen Bao…" the sect master said, and soon the three of them dissipated.
Though I was a bit concerned with how the Sect Master knew my na, the more frightening thing was that eye, it didn't leave after it had taken those three but eerily kept its gaze upon for too many too long seconds that I felt naked under its gaze.
Soon, the void began shaking and the eye disappeared.
"Shen Bao! You little!" Master Rain said as the sphere around them dissipated.
He flew towards and said, "Do you wish to die?! Because if you want I can make that happen right now! Why the hell are you peering back at the ssenger of The Heavens for?!"
"Oh, so that was a ssenger… interesting,"
"My god, what were they teaching you to not know not to look! Also, what were you telling those three souls, do you know who they are? Their skeletons disappeared once the ssenger ca to check up on things."
"They thanked for saving them," I said.
"Damn, what a waste of ti, we barely got anything useful on this venture, and I lost my damn treasures. Anyway," he said "Why are you here?" Master Rain said.
"Well didn't you leave a ssage saying you'll be coming here," I said.
"Yes, but I didn't tell you to co after ," he said.
"Well, if I didn't," I said as I looked at the bloodied retainer. I didn't need to finish my words.
"I would have found a way regardless, you could have died doing stupid stunts like this!" he said. "You don't even know what is here, or how risky it would be to co here," he said.
"In a matter of fact I actually do, I already ca here before, inside the Advent Tower," I said.
"That's impossible, you shouldn't be able to rember anything past the first few days of the Advent Tower," he said.
"Well, I'm alive, isn't that proof enough, also, we should probably leave, I don't think that's good," I said as I pointed outwards.
There was a large crack in the very fabric of space. And the crack seed to widen, and many more began appearing all over.
"Damn with the prisoner killed, the prison has no purpose, it is self-destructing, let's go," Master Rain urged.
