1444 Holy Sword Saint
"Y-you possess three Soul Weapons…? No… that's impossible!" Jin Geming quickly expressed his doubt. After all, even the most talented cultivators during the Primordial Era had 2 Soul Weapons at the most. Three was simply unheard of—even unimaginable.
"Why would I lie to you? Especially when this sort of lie can easily be exposed?" Yuan shook his head.
"T-then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and show us your third Soul Weapon!" Jin Geming urged impatiently.
Yuan nodded and retrieved his third Soul Weapon, the Dragon's Soul.
The moment the Dragon's Soul made its appearance, its presence permeated the surroundings with a profound aura, causing the souls of the immortals to quiver in awe and fear.
'What a powerful Soul Weapon!' They cried inwardly.
"Let me dwell within that Soul Weapon!" Jin Geming hastily said as he pointed at the Dragon's Soul.
Yuan casually nodded, "Sure."
"..."
Jin Geming sensed something was amiss, almost as though he'd gotten what he wanted too easily. However, when he reconsidered Yuan's weak cultivation base and their circumstances, Jin Geming no longer pondered too deeply about it and nodded.
"But will you be able to handle three immortal souls at once?" Yu Ning suddenly inquired in a worried tone.
Moreover, Jin Geming's soul would be the most strenuous on Yuan's soul strength due to his higher cultivation base.
Yuan looked at Yu Ning with a calm smile and said, "I might be weakened a little, but of course, it's no problem for me."
Yuan retired the Empyrean Overlord, offered the Dragon's Soul to Jin Geming, and said, "Here you go, Senior. I'll let you go first if you're worried that I won't have enough soul strength to carry all three of you at once."
Jin Geming nodded and spoke as he flew into the Dragon's Soul, "I will remember your act of kindness."
Yuan felt about 20 percent of his soul strength being consumed.
'Yuan, you need to be careful of the Holy Sword Saint. He went astray during the war and became an evil cultivator who took advantage of the chaos to strengthen himself.' Ji Ran suddenly warned him through divine sense.
Yuan didn't respond and merely held a mysterious smile on his face.
A moment after Jin Geming entered the Dragon's Soul, his satisfied voice resounded.
"This place is much more spacious and luxurious than I'd expected."
"Heavens! I can even feel my soul strength growing stronger just by staying in here!"
"Hahaha! This place is fucking amazing! The more I explore the
—"
"W-wait! Who the hell are you?!" Jin Geming suddenly became alert, his voice filled with surprise.
"You little bastard! This Soul Weapon is already occupied by another soul! How dare you trick me!"
"Hmph! Whatever! I simply need to destroy this soul and become its sole occupant!"
A different voice suddenly resounded, "Not only did this bug invade my sanctuary, but it even dared to threaten me…? Hahaha…"
The voices suddenly stopped. Yu Ning and Ji Ran swallowed nervously as they waited for the results.
A few moments later—
"W-wait! Please! Spare me! I will immediately leave this place!"
Jin Geming's voice returned, but it was filled with shock and fear, sounding as though he'd encountered a ghost.
"Please! Have mercy! I was wrong! I was wrong!!!"
Yu Ning and Ji Ran listened to Jin Geming beg the mysterious soul with wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"Aahhhhh! Mother! Father!! Someone!!! Save m—"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I will remember this, Tian Yi…" Dragon Goddess Yeyou's voice suddenly resounded with a displeased tone.
Yuan wore a bittersweet smile on his face as he responded, "I wasn't sure you were actually in there and saw the opportunity to find out, so I took my chances. Sorry, Dragon Goddess Yeyou. Now that I've confirmed you are dwelling within the Dragon's Soul, why have you been ignoring me?"
"..."
However, there were no responses from Dragon Goddess Yeyou.
"The silent treatment again, huh?" Yuan sighed as he wondered what he was doing wrong. Unfortunately, he probably won't figure it out until he recovers more of the Immortal Monarch—Tian Yi's memories.
Ding!
[Dragon's Soul]
[Level: 1]
[Rank: Soul Weapon]
[Growth Rate: Fast]
[Requirement: ???]
[Unique Ability (Dragon's Roar): Lets out a resounding battle cry that shatters the surrounding spiritual energy.]
However, that was not the end.
Ding!
After devouring the soul of a God Ascension cultivator, the Dragon's Soul unsurprisingly leveled up twice in an instant.
[Unique Ability (Dragon's Sanctuary): Creates a domain around the wielder that seals all spiritual energy from those that do not have dragon blood. Does not affect the wielder.]
'This Dragon's Soul is…' Yuan swallowed nervously after seeing its overpowered unique abilities.
However, its unique ability only applied to spiritual energy, so it might be ineffective against immortals who could wield Immortal Qi and Celestial Qi. Still, it was a very powerful ability that could surprise even immortals. As for those who cannot use Immortal Qi and do not have dragon blood flowing through their veins, they were simply screwed.
Yuan reclaimed the Dragon's Soul and retired the Empyrean Overlord again.
He looked at Yu Ning, who was still frozen from shock, and said, "It's your turn."
Yet, Yu Ning didn't fly into the Empyrean Overlord and stood there like a stone statue, her gaze fixated on Yuan's calm smile.
Seeing this, Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this Soul Weapon is definitely unoccupied. Nothing will happen to you."
"Y-you promise…?" Yu Ning muttered in a timid voice.
"Of course. I only killed that guy because I knew of his character," he nodded.
Jin Geming was a renowned individual whose infamy reached even Tian Xian's ears, so he already knew of Jin Geming's vicious character even before Ji Ran's warning.
