"Who's there?"
Austin's spiritual soul and its copy were unified, giving him the ability to sense anything happening with it.
"Ha-ha! You have been captured by this demon, boy. You are doomed!"
the owner of the voice taunted.
"Who the hell are you? Are you conspiring with the demon?"
Austin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Conspiring with the demon?
Are you kidding me? For the longest time, I have been battling this demon. His desire to destroy me is just as intense as mine. Our feelings of hatred towards each other is mutual. We are mortal enemies, but it isn't easy for any of us to win the battle.
Unexpectedly, he tipped the scales by eating plenty of creatures in his race to reinforce his strength in a short period. Cruel it may be, he immediately turned much more powerful than I am and finally defeated me.
Like you, my life is going to be ended by Thanos.
Boy, we are in the same boat."
The owner of the voice sounded melancholic, disheartened with how his enemy incapacitated him.
As he learned that this man had fought against Devil Ancestor Thanos and was unable to defeat him, it blew Austin's mind.
He knew that the strength of Devil Ancestor Thanos was indeed formidable.
'He must be an incredible cultivator if he has been fighting with Devil Ancestor Thanos for a long time!' Austin bowed his head as he immersed himself in his thoughts. His forehead was crumpled in contemplation.
Eventually, he asked, "Sir, since you are so powerful, do you have any idea how to escape?"
He expectantly waited for the voice to reply.
This could be Austin's last chance. It was natural for Austin to think that an influential figure like the owner of the voice was able to help him in the unfortunate situation.
Just like Devil Ancestors Bale and Javier, both of them had successfully escaped death by using their secret skills at the most critical moments. Real powerful ones always had their own way to surprise their enemies.
"At this rate, it's going to be very difficult. I merely exist as a cloud of spiritual soul energy now and I am hiding secretly inside the body of Devil Ancestor Thanos.
It's impossible for me to escape now.
Although, I have a plan that could also make him suffer. I could use the remnants of my energy and break into his Soul Sea and detonate myself in there. If I succeed, I will perish together with his spiritual soul.
Humph! He wants me to die? Then death, I shall give him! I'll never stop making him pay even until my last breath. With my death, he will go down with me as well!"
His anger came out faster than magma and just as destructive. He was obviously adamant to take down his nemesis.
"However, the chances of me succeeding are very slim," the voice sighed in frustration, "I can't make it unless there is a chance to make him distracted and confused. For this to take effect, I have to catch him off guard,"
the man mused.
'To make Devil Ancestor Thanos distracted for a while?'
Austin rubbed his chin, c
The entire starry sky dimmed, as if blanketed into eternal darkness.
The eye in the middle of Austin's brows, on the other hand, was getting larger and clearer.
'What?!'
The moment Devil Ancestor Thanos' eyes met the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor, he was stunned.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He could only feel that the strange eye in the middle of Austin's eyebrows was giving out a terrible devouring power, which tightly held his spiritual soul and was about to pull it over.
A chill rose in the heart of the devil ancestor.
"What the hell!"
He roared angrily.
In this brief moment, his attention was completely on the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor.
As he was preoccupied with it, an unnoticeable golden light rushed into his Soul Sea.
Then, the golden light suddenly magnified. It turned into a shining Taoist, holding the spiritual soul of Devil Ancestor Thanos.
This Taoist was the spiritual soul of Livingston.
Livingston's move was too swift.
Since he was at the same level as the devil ancestor, he had his own powerful secret skills.
When Devil Ancestor Thanos realized what happened, it was already too late.
"It turns out that your spiritual soul hasn't been destroyed yet, Livingston. You have been hiding in my body all this time!"
Devil Ancestor Thanos felt a mixture of anger and fright within him.
"Ha-ha!
That's true!
I will not die as long as you are not dead yet!
Now, let's go to hell together!"
Livingston laughed menacingly. As he expressed his vexation towards his nemesis for one last time, he then burnt his spiritual soul. In that instant, a terrible destruction energy began to spread in the Soul Sea of Devil Ancestor Thanos.
"Fuck off!"
As soon as he realized that Livingston intended to take him down with him, he got alarmed and terrified and he thundered loudly.
"It's too late!" Livingston guffawed triumphantly. Then, finally turning to Austin, he said, "Goodbye, Austin!"
These were the last words of Livingston.
