"Senior, what do you mean by that?" Ling Bai tilted his head slightly, smiling.
Ilex had a pair of lifeless silver-gray eyes and a head of ash-white hair that fell over his back. His forehead was faintly illuminated by a pale golden glow, and his ancient face was framed by a tall, imposing figure wrapped in a black robe.
Ilex crossed his arms behind his back and said coolly, "Don't you know what's in your Spirit Sea?"
"Saha-"
As the two conversed, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon circling in the sky spotted Ling Bai's tiny figure. Its white bone face, with exposed teeth, twisted into a sinister grin. With a powerful flap of its bone wings, the massive creature plummeted from the sky like a white meteor!
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon approached Ling Bai, and even as a spirit body, he could feel the cutting pain of the wind slicing across his face!
"Screech!!!"
A deep, furious roar suddenly echoed. The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, descending from the sky, saw eight blood-red lamps light up in the deep, invisible crack beside Ling Bai.
A deafening explosion, accompanied by flying black debris, erupted from the crack. The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon didn't even have a chance to resist before it was dragged into the boundless dark sky by some unknown creature from the crack!
A few seconds later, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon finally realized it was in the mouth of this creature. Its prideful bone wings were pinned under the creature's spear-like legs, and the mountain-like strength made it impossible to break free!
At that moment, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon saw the face of the creature in the crack!
And those eight blood-red eyes that illuminated the sky!
Majestic!
Ferocious!
The Death Prison Spider Emperor!
Ling Bai's Second Spirit Soul!
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon had stolen the Holy Light Dragon's bloodline and had memories of various powerful soul beasts, but it had never encountered such a terrifying creature. The death aura in the blood-red eyes filled it with dread. Even the pure dragons it had seen from afar in the Star Dou Great Forest couldn't compare to this Death Prison Spider Emperor!
"Crunch, crunch..."
It heard the sound of itself being slowly chewed and swallowed by the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Its remaining consciousness was gradually stripped away, and in its final moments, it felt a strong regret. Perhaps it shouldn't have pursued the human-faced demon spider, leading to its death in the mouth of another spider!
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, was declared dead!
After devouring the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's grudge, the Death Prison Spider Emperor hung upside down on a distant spider web, its eight blood-red eyes fixed on Ling Bai on the ground.
"Eat... more!"
The Death Prison Spider Emperor, with its massive purple-black body like a world-shaking demon god, opened its scythe-like fangs and spoke in a human voice.
"Next time, for sure."
"You... had better..."
The Death Prison Spider Emperor responded coldly, its eight spider legs moving in unison as its figure gradually disappeared.
The Spirit Sea was left with only Ling Bai and Ilex, who were staring at each other in silence. This Spirit Sea, you come, and no one speaks!
After a long silence, Ilex broke the quiet.
"So... this is why you seek my help?"
"Senior, your wisdom is like a beacon."
Ling Bai sighed. He looked at Ilex, his once brilliant golden eyes now blood-red, and a strange protrusion on his back seemed ready to burst through at any moment, as if he would transform into another Death Prison Spider Emperor at any second.
"This world is called the Tang Sect Continent. Everyone awakens their soul beast at the age of six, and I am no exception. I awakened a twin soul beast, one in a million, the Six-Winged Angel and the Death Prison Spider Emperor."
Ilex nodded lightly, now resembling an experienced doctor listening to a patient's symptoms to diagnose and treat them.
"Good news, I awakened a twin soul beast. Bad news, one of them is an Evil Spirit Soul." Ling Bai self-deprecatingly said, "I'll give you a bit of background. On the Tang Sect Continent, Evil Soul Masters with an Evil Spirit Soul are hunted down by everyone, even the dogs on the street dare to kick them! Of course, they have to be prepared for their legs to be broken." Hearing this, Ilex couldn't help but smile. "You have a good attitude. From what I've observed, your Six-Winged Angel is of the purest holy attribute, with an extremely pure divinity within its essence. Even it can't suppress the Death Prison Spider Emperor, no wonder you came to me for help."
At this, Ling Bai's face darkened slightly. "The Six-Winged Angel is blessed by the Angel God and is called the nemesis of evil on the Tang Sect Continent. However, the key is that I suspect there is a divine power within the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and that deity is far more powerful than the Angel God!"
After the examination by the Nine Treasures Lustrous Sect's leader, the Death Prison Spider Emperor was determined to be a top-tier variant soul beast, a combination of the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, two great soul beast kings.
Six-Winged Angel, Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor...
Ling Bai was born in Jialing City, where a battle between two deities had taken place. He reasonably deduced that the Death Prison Spider Emperor possessed the power of the Raksha
God!
"Another deity?"
Ilex's brow furrowed, his face saying, 'Don't push your luck, kid.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Senior."
Ling Bai's eyes seemed to gather a storm. "The Death Prison Spider Emperor is a death attribute soul beast. Death is a solemn and sacred matter, its purpose is to give meaning to life, the inevitable and only end of life.
I don't want to see it tainted by the power of an evil deity and fall into an Evil Spirit Soul. You are a sage in the path of death, and I hope you can lend me a hand."
"Death is a solemn and sacred matter..."
Ilex slowly repeated Ling Bai's words, subconsciously recalling the god title he had given himself, the Holy Death Spirit Mage.
Only when the result is death does life become particularly precious. Ling Bai's understanding of death resonated with his own, and Ilex's gaze towards Ling Bai held more admiration and approval. He said, "I have crossed time and space to come to the Tang Sect Continent and happened to meet you, lodging in your Spirit Sea. This is a predestined connection. I am Ilex, in my world, humans call me the Holy Death Spirit Mage, the Undead Catastrophe. You can
call me Elder Electra from now on."
"Yes, Elder Electra."
Ling Bai bowed deeply to Ilex. Those words meant that Elder Electra had decided to help him.
Ilex continued, "I have only a sliver of my soul left, with very little power remaining. I need some time to recover."
"It's fine. I've been through so much already; I can wait. You rest here, and I will seek some treasures from the outside world to help you regain your strength."
"Very well, you may go."
Ling Bai nodded, and the Holy Angel Sword, glowing with holy light, appeared in his right
hand. He gently sliced through the air, turned, and walked through the crack created by the Holy Angel Sword, leaving the Spirit Sea.
As Ling Bai left the Spirit Sea, a rustling sound suddenly echoed, and Ilex suddenly realized:
"Something doesn't seem right. Ling Bai is gone, and I'm left alone to face the Death Prison
Spider Emperor with divine power!"
Oh no, I've been tricked! (End of Chapter)
