Chapter 217: Chapter 146: Lord of the Sixth Level Nest Cave (Part 2)

Lu Cang pointed to the southwest.

"Are you talking about that direction?"

"That’s right! Are you going to go beg for mercy now?"

Lu Cang nodded. "Mm, thanks. I was just about to rush over and lay down my life."

"Tremble in fear, human! I look forward to seeing you beg."

Lu Cang looked up at Iz.

Iz understood immediately.

SWISH!

The surrounding scenery changed in an instant!

In a brief moment, Lu Cang landed on a mountaintop, with Lu Luwei beside him.

He looked back.

Chi Cheng and the others were already too far to be seen with the naked eye.

Only by relying on Lu Luwei’s Perception did they realize they were roughly thousands of miles away.

WHOOSH!

Soul Light filled the sky and exploded!

Chi Cheng had already begun to fight the endless swarms of Soul Bodies!

Lu Luwei used her Perception to probe in the direction the soul had indicated.

"Are you sure it’s this way?"

"Gyeheheh! There’s no mistake!"

"The True Soul Lord cannot move. When I say it’s in this direction, it’s in this direction! You’ll soon be able to witness the True Soul Lord’s magnificent form!"

"What kind of being is it?"

"Heh heh... It is the greatest masterpiece of our Nest, and the ultimate evolutionary path we all revere. If we could evolve again, we would all strive to become a being just like it."

’Evolutionary path?’

’Masterpiece?’

’This guy sure knows a lot. He seems like an idiot, but he knows so much.’

’If I get out of here, I’ll have to study it thoroughly.’

"Oh? How great? What kind of life form is it?"

SWISH!

Iz once again transported them, continuing in the same direction.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a new location.

"It wears the skins of the strong as its clothes, uses their bones as its foundation, and fills its own emptiness with their flesh and blood!"

"Everything it possesses is enough to let it ignore all Magic. Blades cannot cut it, swords cannot pierce it, nothing can harm it! No matter what methods you use, it will all be in vain!"

SWISH!

They changed locations once more.

Lu Cang, through Lu Luwei’s Perception, finally saw the location of the so-called Ten Thousand True Souls Lord.

It was a twisted tower constructed from countless skins and bones.

It was crooked and misshapen; calling it a tower was a stretch.

Sewn onto the skins on the tower were also many eyes.

In addition, there were many jumbled arms and legs, not just from humans, but seemingly from many other races, and even Demons.

It was a tower completely pieced together from different organs.

And yet, this tower truly emanated a sinister, bizarre, and oppressive aura.

The Curses, malevolence, and malice it gave off were enough to drive one mad just by getting close.

In fact, even from 20,000 kilometers away, he could feel his soul being constantly pulled toward it.

It was like a tower that was ceaselessly pulling at souls.

Anyone with weaker control over their own soul would have probably had it sucked away already.

Although it wasn’t enormous in size...

...based on his current perception, the level of danger it posed was definitely at least that of a Submerged Land Level Demon.

It was even highly possible that it surpassed the Submerged Land Level.

"Lu Cang, can you handle it?"

Lu Cang frowned slightly. "I should be able to."

"But, I don’t know how to get close to it."

"You just need to get close?"

"Within two hundred kilometers. If that’s not enough, then maybe fifty kilometers."

Lu Cang thought for a moment.

He summoned a Void Creature.

A rift in the Void opened, and a Void Creature appeared before him.

However, the moment the Void Pillar Guardian appeared, it immediately fell to its knees and collapsed, lifeless.

Its soul had been directly sucked away.

’Soul Absorption...’

’How brutal.’

’A Tier Four Nation Destruction Level Demon, insta-killed just like that?’

’The only reason I can stand here now is probably thanks to Iz’s protection.’

Lu Cang also cast a Shield to stabilize his Spirit and a Protective Shield to guard his soul.

The repertoire of Death Spells did, in fact, include Magic to protect one’s own soul.

Lu Cang used Sacrifice Soul, enhancing these soul-targeted protective Magics to strengthen his own defenses.

"I’ll bring Obades over."

"He should be able to protect you perfectly until you’re within that range."

Iz stood on the mountaintop.

’This Demon is certainly no simple matter.’

’If I were to actually fight it, it would definitely be very interesting...’

’However, since my own apprentice has a plan...’

’I’ll let him give it a try.’

Iz also wanted to see just what Lu Cang’s limits were.

’That ability to extract souls... it can insta-kill so many Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demons.’

’Just seeing Lu Cang use that ability sparks so many ideas in my mind.’

’Extracting a soul from an unsuitable body...’

’Could I use Soul Magic to do something similar?’

Meiser’s attainments in Soul Magic were indeed very high.

’What a pity... if only he had used it for the right reasons.’

If Lu Cang couldn’t take out this Ten Thousand True Souls, then Iz planned to execute Plan B.

Have Obades send Lu Cang away first.

Then, it would be Iz’s turn to try and settle things with this creature.

’And if, by some chance, I can’t win...’

To be honest, if Iz couldn’t win, the consequences wouldn’t be borne by their group alone.

The entire Ruelun Continent would probably be doomed.

However, even if Iz couldn’t win right away, escaping shouldn’t be a problem.

With Obades and Kumironi protecting them...

...they could get away no matter what. They could get away even as corpses.

"Wait for me..."

Iz’s body vanished in an instant.

Lu Cang still didn’t really understand how Iz was able to move like that.
