Austin had met the man in the red robe once, in passing, near the abyss.
He immediately recognized the man at a glance.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing in my Soul Sea?"
Austin shouted angrily.
"Ha-ha! Brat, are you deaf or something?
Didn't I make it clear to you just now?
I want your spiritual soul! Ha-ha! Give it to me so that I can devour it.
From now on, I am you. I will live in your body and use your identity.
You can never get rid of me, and you will disappear for good! Ha-ha!"
the man in red declared as he stared at Austin with a playful look in his eyes, not bothering to control his laughter.
'I have set up a spiritual sense array to lock down his entire Soul Sea. There is no way that he can escape from me. He can try with all his might but it will just be in vain, ' the man thought confidently.
"I have no problem with you, nor have I done anything to you. Why are you taking over my body like this?"
Austin asked with a livid face.
"Indeed, we have no grudges against each other. But I know you are a powerful and talented guy, so I need your body as a vessel. You are going to be very useful to me. That's all.
Well, cut the crap!
Just surrender. I don't have all day for this!" the red-robed man said, getting impatient, as he waved at Austin's spiritual soul.
He released a strong power that flew over to Austin's spiritual soul, grabbed it and tried to pull it towards himself.
Although Austin was just at the Divine Realm, his spiritual sense was much stronger than that of most preliminary-grade divine gods.
Therefore, no matter how hard the man in red tried to tug and pull, Austin's spiritual soul didn't move an inch.
"Humph! Are you trying to possess me? Let's see if you have the ability to do that!"
Austin said with a sneer, unwilling to be intimidated.
A stranger had broken into his Soul Sea for no reason, which upset him. Austin was going nut, having a strong urge to take him out. How did the bastard even gain access to his Soul Sea?
"You are nothing but a loser at the Divine Realm. How dare you act like this?"
the man in red huffed as his face turned serious.
He found that Austin's spiritual sense was much stronger than he had expected, which took him by surprise.
However, he still didn't take Austin seriously. After all, the human boy was just at the Divine Realm. There was no way that this young man could be a match for him.
In the next moment, his red robe grew several times bigger as it fluttered in the wind.
Matching billowing red fog flowed out from his robe and rushed towards Austin's spiritual soul.
"What the hell? This man also has such strong spiritual soul powers!"
Austin exclaimed in surprise as he found that the overwhelming red mist was created from spiritual soul energy.
'Is he...'
Austin knitted his eyebrows, trying to guess the red-robed man's identity.
"You do not belong in my Soul Sea and you have no right to be in it, nor take possession of it. Get lost!" Austin said with a face that had no trace of emotion.
As defense, he gathered his spiritual sense in
ion.
Any creature who controlled the spiritual tree would have formidable spiritual sense and incredible spiritual soul power.
"Didn't you declare that you wanted to take over my body? Well, come on! I'm waiting for you,"
one of Austin's three spiritual souls shouted while attacking the red-robed man in the Soul Sea with the spiritual tree and the spiritual dragon.
Soon, the man in red realized that he was outnumbered and at a disadvantage.
The spiritual tree and the spiritual dragon had put too much pressure on him.
What was worse, he had to handle Austin's three spiritual souls. He couldn't tell which one was the real instance.
"It looks like you will be devoured by me instead of the other way around! Would that be such a shame... that it's not you who devoured me, but it's me who devoured you? What would your fellow divine gods think?"
Austin laughed loudly as he noticed that the red-robed man was starting to falter and began losing the fight.
At last, the spiritual tree, the spiritual dragon and Austin's three spiritual souls rushed forward, trapping the man in red. With nowhere to go, they were able to refine him.
As a result, the red-robed man ceased existing and turned into a mere part of Austin's spiritual soul energy.
"Wow! This feels great!"
After refining and absorbing the man in red, Austin noticed that his spiritual soul had become refreshed and re-energized.
His spiritual sense had increased sharply.
The man in red initially planned to take over Austin's body, but in a sudden twist of fate, his soul was devoured by Austin instead.
'After absorbing the entirety of the red-robed man, I guess my spiritual sense is more powerful than that of most preliminary-grade divine gods.
It can even match the spiritual sense of some ordinary medium-grade divine gods!'
Austin thought to himself, inhaling deeply, as if to enjoy the newly added strength in his body.
'Wow! I can even sense the various secret skills related to the spiritual soul that man practiced!'
Austin's face lit up in excitement.
