Chapter 2792: The Living Soul Devil



Going back several years, the Living Soul Devil had reached a dead end. The experts of the Realm of Gods had narrowed his escape routes little by little, and they finally managed to trap him in a Demon Beast Forest. The Living Soul Devil could only continue to escape, but the enemies were getting close. It was able to feel their souls coming from all sides, even though their Divine Senses still weren't close enough to detect him.

At a certain point, the Living Soul Devil realized that any attempt to flee would only lead him into another trap. He decided to make a stand, to fight back. His strength had grown to a point where he could challenge even the most powerful Peak Divinity Realm experts. If he could catch them off guard and absorb their souls, he might just gain enough power to escape.

Yet, just as the Divine Senses of the various experts were about to reach his location, the sky above him opened, and a tunnel appeared. The Living Soul Devil could feel the Spatial Laws, although it was too young to comprehend what it was seeing. Driven by its instinct to survive, it threw itself into the tunnel, being dragged away in an instant. The tunnel then disappeared without a trace. That was the day the Living Soul Devil escaped the Realm of Gods.

Despite their best efforts, the experts were left empty-handed. Days of searching yielded no sign of the Living Soul Devil. The investigation concluded that he had indeed fled the Realm of Gods, but his destination remained a mystery. All that was certain was that he had received assistance. With no other leads, the search was reluctantly abandoned.

After the Devils allied with the Realm of Gods and the Angels, Soul Gem revealed that it was he who captured the Soul Devil. He even told everyone what a Living Soul Devil really was and what kind of calamity it could cause.

When Soul Gem asked the Devils how they acquired the method to create a Living Soul Devil, Black Locust narrowed his eyes. "Usually, we would never talk about it. However, since Soul Gem already knows about the Living Soul Devils, there isn't much of a point in hiding it. You all know about the Underworld Relic, right?"

Everyone nodded and waited for Black Locust to continue talking. "Well then, the Underworld Relic is something that no one knows where it came from. Kafan can probably confirm it since his race originally lived in the Underworld before the Universe was split. He also knows about this... and it was also him who first found it."

Kafan nodded. "Since you don't mind me speaking, then I will continue. First of all, it wasn't exactly me who found the Underworld Relic, just to make it clear. But it was me who noticed its power first. I found it in a market down in the underworld when I was passing by a city. The vendor himself didn't know what it was and couldn't find a use for it, so he was selling it. When I asked where he found the Relic, I went to the same location and explored it. There were some ancient ruins in that place, and I ultimately bumped into a Jade Slip."

"That Jade Slip was quite weird. That one was completely red instead of the normal Green Color in normal Jade Slips. As soon as I tried to examine its contents, it crumbled into dust, but the information was sent into my mind," Kafan recounted the story. "However, there was truly pretty much no information in it. All it had was a description of how to create a Living Soul Devil and an explanation regarding the Underworld Relic, about how the Relic was capable of using powerful sources of energy to increase the overall power of all Devil Races near it."
