Episode 12 – The Descent of the Gods Chapter 26 – Coiled Dragon Ring

The night was as frightening as water, and just a breeze blew by. Linley’s silhouette was already dozens of miles away. Although the Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s branch in the Grand Canyon was thousands of miles away from the Dragonblood Castle. However, in front of Linley nowadays. Thousands of miles was really nothing.

The wind stopped, and only then did Linley’s silhouette coalesce and become clear.

He looked down at the rolling valleys below. Especially that conspicuous Grand Canyon. In the Grand Canyon was an important branch of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. Just by using his sense of wind, Linley realized that there were a large number of people in the grand canyon.

“Transported slaves?” Linley smiled coldly.

Now he already knew. The Dawson Chamber of Commerce had purchased a large number of slaves. It was to be used for that God-level powerhouse to refine his soul.

“Even though the Coiled Dragon Ring is just a broken soul defense master artifact, at least. I only need to defend that gaping hole location.”

After more than a day of nurturing. That scale-like transparent diaphragm gap location. The ‘patch’ formed by spiritual energy was already relatively tough.

Looking down. A gust of wind moved. Linley’s entire person swooped down in a gust of wind.

In the middle of the Grand Canyon. In a gloomy punishment chamber.

There were dark bloodstains on the floor of this punishment chamber, and a bald man with a bare chest holding a butcher’s knife was in this chamber. A crystal ball was hanging on the wall behind him. Inside this crystal ball was a dense fog.

A slave who was blindfolded and had his hands tied was pushed in by the guards.

“Pfft.”

The bald man brutally stabbed the butcher knife into the slave’s heart. “Ah~” A hoarse dry howl sounded for a second or two before weakening. Fast, accurate, and ruthless! Instantly killing this one slave. The slave only howled for a second or two before collapsing helplessly, and immediately a guard brought the corpse out immediately.

The dense mist in the crystal ball suddenly rolled over. There was another soul in this one! “Next.”

The bald man licked the blood from the butcher’s knife, and was very excited instead.

The bald man loved this job, ever since he was set to walk this six years ago. He was hooked on this kind of killing, in six years, how many people had died in his hands alone, the bald that man himself wasn’t sure anymore.

“Millions for sure.”

The bald man thought in his heart.

Killed six years, killed hundreds of people every day, more than a thousand times, six years down, killed people also over a million. In the Grand Canyon, there are still a lot of people who do this kind of work, although the bald man is not clear about the specific number. But alone he recognized there are six slaughterers.

“The mist inside this crystal ball should be thick enough.”

The bald man turned his head to look.

He was already very experienced with how many people he killed every day. What concentration the fog in the crystal ball reached. He knew it all by heart. But he turned his head at this moment. But he realized – this crystal ball had unexpectedly become crystal clear. There wasn’t a single trace of fog in it.

“Ah!” This bald man was so frightened that cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead and back, “What’s going on? How come it’s all gone. It can’t be, it can’t be, no one has been near here.”

The bald man was bold. At this moment, his heart was also trembling with fear.

Yes. The souls in the crystal ball were all gone.

It wasn’t just the bald man’s punishment chamber. As for the other punishment chambers, the souls collected within the crystal ball were all gone as well.

Linley had already descended into the Grand Canyon at this moment, and he was standing on the branch of a large tree.

“This, what’s going on here?” Linley was surprised. He had clearly sensed over twenty places within a one-mile radius through the ‘Coiled Dragon Ring’. There were large numbers of souls gathered together. Yes, it was the ground that he had sensed through the Discordant Dragon Ring.

“So many souls?” Linley frowned. He understood that this must be everything that that God-level powerhouse had arranged, constantly killing and collecting souls.

“Hmph. Killing this many in a single day. A few years down the line. How many more have been killed?” Linley felt shocked just thinking about that number. “How many means did this God-level powerhouse use to collect so many souls?” Linley was indeed unclear. That great sorcerer had not only dispatched his nine silver-robed guards to collect them. It also controlled the three major chambers of commerce of the strongest land on the Yulan Continent, and the three chambers of commerce combined their efforts to constantly send slaves over to be constantly killed to collect souls.

After all, there were still a lot of slaves on the Yulan Continent.

With the combined efforts of the three major chambers of commerce, it wouldn’t be too difficult to put together tens of millions of slaves to come out in six years’ time.

“Huh?” Linley had a feeling that this Coiled Dragon Ring seemed to have a strange power binding the souls in those twenty or so crystal balls now. With a single thought, he could plunder all those souls into the disk dragon ring.

Linley tried plundering.

In an instant! The large number of souls that were originally in the crystal ball all disappeared. They all appeared in the disk dragon ring.

“So many souls? It’s over ten thousand.”

The souls in the more than twenty crystal balls added up to a number of more than ten thousand, and these souls were directly swallowed and absorbed by the Coiled Dragon Ring, and what most shocked Linley was that …… this Coiled Dragon Ring had actually refined itself after swallowing and absorbing this large number of souls.

Countless souls were actually refined to return into a large amount of golden mist.

This kind of golden mist, Linley’s spiritual power just touched, surprisingly naturally began to inhale this golden mist.

“Snort~” a large amount of golden mist traveled along Linley’s spiritual energy directly into Linley’s soul space.

“Sessler said that the study of the soul reaches a certain level. It’s then possible to refine souls to absorb them and strengthen one’s soul.”

Linley’s heart instantly understood a little when he saw all this scene, “This Discordant Dragon Ring can actually absorb souls and also refine them naturally.”

When those golden mists came close to the sword-shaped soul, the sword-shaped soul naturally swallowed those golden mists as if it were drinking water.

“Sure enough …….”

Linley felt an extremely soothing sensation as his own soul was slowly growing, very quickly. The golden mist that had been refined from over ten thousand souls was completely absorbed by Linley’s sword-shaped soul, and the sword-shaped soul only grew slightly larger by a sliver in size.

Just a sliver, but it made Linley much more comfortable.

“This disk dragon ring.”

Linley shook. Creeped out.

Refining souls was tedious and complicated, and only a very small number of powerhouses amongst the Lower Gods were able to do it. It was the Mediate Gods. Most of them couldn’t do it either, it needed to depend on how thoroughly they comprehended the soul land, even the great sorcerers. They were all incredibly careful during the refining process.

“This ability, it’s slightly in line with the status of a master divine artifact, even though it’s tattered.”

Linley had a hint of a smile on his face.

He sensed it carefully. This disk dragon ring could only plunder the souls of those without a body to protect them, if a person wasn’t dead. It was very difficult for his soul to be plundered, and that crystal ball’s ability to bind souls was clearly inferior to the plundering ability of the disk dragon ring.

Pillage ability. Stronger than the binding ability. So the souls in the crystal ball were all taken.

“The range is only about a mile as well, and it can’t be sensed beyond a mile.”

Linley also realized that he had just flown down from above the Grand Canyon. It wasn’t until he was roughly a mile or so away from those secret chambers. It was only then that he had sensed those souls that had been collected.

Taking a deep breath. Calming his mood.

“Release your spiritual power to find that God-level powerhouse, he must be killed in the shortest possible time.”

Linley flipped his hand. The Purple Blood Soft Sword appeared in his hand, and Linley knew very well that the moment his spiritual power discovered the other party. It was also the moment the other party discovered him.

He had to attack the other party in the shortest amount of time. Allowing the other party less time to prepare.

“Begin.”

Linley’s gaze blazed.

In the dimly lit chamber.

The great sorcerer shrouded in black robes solemnly took out the other eight crystal balls from his spatial ring. Including the one in front of him. A total of nine crystal balls, these nine crystal balls have a misty fog and golden liquid inside.

The Grand Sorcerer stretched out his hands. The nine crystal balls immediately hovered in front of the Grand Sorcerer.

“Snort~” The golden liquid in eight of the crystal balls flew out, and flew towards the important one at the same time, and the golden liquid also emitted a misty fog. This caused a large amount of mist to linger in the entire chamber. These mists were actually the essence of the soul.

If there was an ordinary person here, he only had to take a deep breath, and he was afraid that he would inhale the essence of two or three human souls.

The eight strands of golden liquid flew in midair. In the process of flying into the ninth crystal ball. The mist that was emitted, I’m afraid that it would be even more than a hundred soul’s spirit flowers. But this little bit of soul essence, the Grand Sorcerer didn’t care in the slightest. Because the golden liquid was the most important.

In the end, all the golden liquid converged in the ninth crystal ball.

“Haha ……”

The Grand Sorcerer let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh. “Just three days, just three days, these twenty million soul essences will be able to form another Soul Golden Pearl.”

The Grand Sorcerer was extremely pleased with himself, how could there be such a good environment in the Gobada Dimensional Prison as it is now? In the Gobada Dimensional Prison. His kind of strength could only be considered as a mid-level character.

Two Golden Pearls of Soul. A full forty million human souls.

Over the past six years, the Grand Sorcerer had tried to collect souls by all means through the three major chambers of commerce and through the nine silver-robed guards. In fact, what really played a big role. Or the three major chambers of commerce. The three major chambers of commerce were deeply rooted in the Yulan Continent. Each city secretly got rid of some population. That is God doesn’t know what is going on.

Six years down the line, plus all the slaves in the slave market land, it was still possible to gather 40 million souls.

“Refining is difficult. This absorption is also slow, this one soul gold pearl. I’m afraid it will take several months to absorb it.”

The Grand Sorcerer sighed, but his tone implied complacency. A soul gold pearl could not only repair all of his soul injuries. At the same time, it could also make his soul several times stronger.

If it was cultivated, who knows how many thousands of years it would take to do so.

“En? There’s someone!” The Grand Sorcerer’s pair of ghostly green eyes raised their heads abruptly. He clearly perceived it. A spiritual force instantly swept below. “It’s a God-level powerhouse.”

“It’s not Muba.”

The great sorcerer judged from this spiritual force that it wasn’t one of his own acquaintances. “Which God-level powerhouse is this?” The Grand Sorcerer thought as he thought. A large black scythe appeared in his right hand, and the Grand Sorcerer was about to put the crystal ball containing 20 million soul essences into his spatial ring.

But–“What!” The Grand Sorcerer’s face instantly changed. His eyes were filled with horror.

Originally, inside the crystal ball, there was still 20 million soul essence of golden liquid, but in the blink of an eye. The inside of the crystal ball was empty. The entire crystal ball was that clear! “Where is the soul essence? Impossible. Impossible!” The Grand Sorcerer felt that things were too bizarre.

Although he had successfully refined a Soul Gold Bead. But just now, the soul essence suddenly disappeared. He had spent a lot of effort to gather 20 million souls and carefully refined them for several years before he succeeded in refining them, so how could they all be gone in the blink of an eye? He hadn’t figured it out yet, and at this time, a sword chant sounded.

Sword chanting sound is very nice, the great sorcerer heard this sword chanting sound also feel a burst of comfort. However, the Grand Sorcerer, who had a very deep study in the soul, instantly reacted, “What a powerful soul attack.”

The Grand Sorcerer couldn’t be bothered to explore why the 20 million soul essences had suddenly disappeared at this moment. He was now facing a great enemy! With the sound of a sword chant. A strand of demonic purple light descended steeply, where this purple light passed, a crack appeared directly in space, the purple light contained a terrifying aura. The Grand Sorcerer was shocked. Without hesitation, he chose to retreat: ”In the end, what kind of person is it? Could it be that Martial God of the O’Brien Empire?” With such speculation in his heart, the Grand Sorcerer’s body surface was filled with a wave of gray mist as he retreated. It swept towards Linley.
