Chapter 360: Ancient Remnant Souls

Chapter 360 Ancient Remnant Souls

In the Secret Realm of the Celestial God Clan, when Qin Xuan and his two companions passed through the teleportation Formation and arrived at the Celestial God Altar, a thunderous cheer erupted from all around the altar, creating waves of heat:

"Welcome, Young Master Qin!"

"Welcome, Young Master Qin!!"

"Welcome, Young Master Qin!!!"

The cheers, like a surging tide, rose and fell, never-ending.

Among the crowd, a young child of the Celestial God Clan pointed at Qin Xuan's nose and muttered angrily, "It's all because of him. If it weren't for him, big sister wouldn't have died!"

"Why, why are the clansmen so respectful to him? It was he who caused big sister's death, and caused the Clan Chief and the Second Old Ancestor to die!"

"Don't talk nonsense." The child's father glared at him with great dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Young Master Qin has shown great kindness to our Celestial God Clan. It was for the sake of returning the favor that our Celestial God Clan suffered such losses. Young Master Qin neither forced us nor demanded anything. How can you blame this responsibility on Young Master Qin?"

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' If you still cannot understand this, from now on, you are no longer a member of our Celestial God Clan!"

"..."

Scenes like this occurred frequently within the Celestial God Clan.

However, the vast majority of those harboring resentment toward Qin Xuan were merely children who had yet to be enlightened.

Under the scolding of their parents and elders, they all forcibly suppressed the indignation in their hearts.

Qin Xuan did not care, and after locating the aura of the Clan Chief, he urged, "Let's go over and take a look."

His figure flashed, and together with the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan and Luo Xianxian, he arrived at the residence of the Celestial God Clan Chief.

On a bed built of fine jade, the Celestial God Clan Chief lay covered in wounds, his eyes tightly shut, with a monstrous resentment and killing intent overflowing from his body.

The jade bed was enveloped in a Formation that isolated the resentment and killing intent.

Otherwise, this mere walking corpse would have been enough to affect the sanity of the Celestial God Clan members.

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan placed a barrier around the area beforehand to block the further spread of resentment and killing intent before removing the Formation.

In an instant, the monstrous resentment and killing intent surged toward Qin Xuan and the others like a physical force.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The ancient prison-suppressing tower vibrated slightly, and as the endless resentment and killing intent approached Qin Xuan, they were shattered into smoke and dissipated.

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan secretly marveled at Qin Xuan's combat power and explained, "These are remnant Souls from the spacetime rift, Souls that died in the aftermath of that great war back then. There are those from the God Realm, True Gods, and even Heavenly Gods."

"Even after endless years have passed, coupled with the suppression of the incomplete Dao Laws in these ruins, these remnant Souls can still cause fatal harm to those at the Peak of the Emperor Realm."

"The current Clan Chief of our clan likely has had his Soul power almost completely obliterated. We must use a Formation to imprison his body; otherwise, in time, these remnant Souls might seize his body for themselves."

Luo Xianxian's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Looking at her father's miserable, scarred appearance, she kept murmuring to herself, "Father..."

She turned her head to look at Qin Xuan, grabbed his arm, and said with a bitter heart, "Qin Xuan, is my father... still salvageable?"

"I will try."

Qin Xuan furrowed his brows, not entirely certain.

However, with his mastery of the Nine Revolutions Saint Soul Technique at Perfection, he was exceptionally sensitive to Soul energy.

Countless remnant Souls resided within the Celestial God Clan Chief's body.

Yet, it was not as the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan had said—that the Clan Chief's Soul had been completely obliterated.

There were still some remnants left.

Whoosh—

From within Qin Xuan's body, a visible spirit body gradually detached itself and stood in front of his physical form.

Seeing this, the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan revealed a look of terror and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "No, absolutely not!"

"Even though Young Master Qin has monstrous combat power, it relies on your special Physique. If you enter his body with your spirit body, it is equivalent to disarming all your defenses!"

"The remnant Souls in that spacetime rift were all powerful figures who once shook their regions. Even as mere Soul fragments, after being worn down by endless years, they still possess methods unknown to others."

"To act in such a way is too risky; it is equivalent to placing yourself in a hopeless situation without any support!"

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan had already heard of Qin Xuan's strength.

However, the spirit body in the God Ruins was identical to his real body, which was due to the great power of the God Ruins.

If he were a spirit body separated from his physical form, Qin Xuan's combat power would inevitably be greatly affected.

Not to mention, without the protection of his body, it was equivalent to removing all defenses, exposing his most vulnerable spirit body to the enemy.

In this way, even Qin Xuan would be in mortal danger!

Luo Xianxian also felt a tightness in her heart and worriedly said, "Qin Xuan, this is too dangerous!"

Qin Xuan looked back, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "If I don't do this, your father's last bit of remnant Soul will also vanish into nothingness."

Having said that, Qin Xuan's entire spirit body turned into a streak of light and shot into the body of the Celestial God Clan Chief, where the remnant Souls were gathered.

"Old Ancestor!"

An Emperor Realm expert of the Celestial God Clan trembled as he said directly, "We should go in too; perhaps we can help Young Master Qin!"

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan shook his head, "No, if we rush in, it is equivalent to a moth flying into a flame; we will only become a burden to Young Master Qin."

Those remnant Souls had strange and treacherous methods.

Even he could only choose to avoid them.

Now, these remnant Souls must have gathered in a group within the Celestial God Clan Chief's body, waiting for an opportunity.

If they went in, they would just be walking into a trap, and who knows, they might even interfere with Qin Xuan's actions!

"Qin Xuan..."

Luo Xianxian bit her lip, watching Qin Xuan's body from which his spirit had already departed, and her small fists clenched tightly.

Inside, she felt increasingly anxious.

She was afraid that her father would lose his last glimmer of hope, yet she was also worried that something might happen to Qin Xuan.

But in the end, she was selfish!

She hadn't stopped Qin Xuan in the first place.

If Qin Xuan's spirit body really couldn't return, she didn't know how she would continue to live in this world.

"Qin Xuan, no matter what, you must return safely!"

"As long as you can come back alive, I will agree to any condition you have!"

"..."

Luo Xianxian's beautiful eyes gazed longingly, praying in her heart.

—

Inside the Celestial God Clan Chief's body, it was like a place of dead silence. It was pitch black all around, as if walking in endless darkness.

Just as Qin Xuan conjured a ball of flame, resentment sought out the light and pounced at him, baring its fangs and brandishing claws.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Leng Li held the asura sword, killing one with each strike.

She slaughtered all these unconscious and bloodthirsty remnant Souls.

As these remnant Souls shattered, they turned into streams of light, entering the blade of the asura sword and becoming endless nourishment.

The blade hummed, and its power grew.

Feeling the growing power of the asura sword, Leng Li exclaimed, "I didn't expect that the remnant Souls inside would indirectly become nourishment for the asura sword!"

"However, it is a pity that this is a ruin, and the Dao rules are incomplete. The asura sword is originally above a Divine Artifact, but suppressed here, it can only exert the power of an Emperor Artifact. No matter how much it absorbs, there is a limit."

"Having killed only a hundred or so remnant Souls, it is already nearly saturated."

Qin Xuan said with a wry smile, "We are here to save someone, not to level up the asura sword."

Leng Li kept a straight face, stirred her sword to crush several remnant Souls, and gave a light huff, "I know, isn't it just to save your little lover's father? I didn't say I wouldn't save him!"

Noticing another remnant Soul attacking from the right, she thrust her sword out.

Unlike the previous one-hit kills, this time, the remnant Soul actually dodged the attack.

"A remnant Soul with consciousness?! "

Leng Li's face revealed a look of astonishment.
