Chapter 1774: Go On, Keep Acting Cocky

Looking at Ming Shi freed, Xiang Shaoyun's eyes flickered with a complicated light. He was fully prepared to erase Ming Shi's soul the moment Ming Shi tried something. After all, Ming Shi was too strong for him to handle.

Fortunately, Ming Shi did not try to do anything unfavorable to Xiang Shaoyun. He flew to the sky, vented his feelings, and landed back on the ground. He flashed Xiang Shaoyun a smile and said, "Hahaha, thank you, nether prince, for releasing me. I will repay you well!"

Ming Shi did not display much gratitude or deference. Rather, he released an imposing pressure as though looking down upon Xiang Shaoyun from a superior position. He was basically looking down on Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun faced Ming Shi's gaze and asked, "And how do you plan to repay me?"

He knew now that Ming Shi was about to renege on the promise. He was in no rush. When push comes to shove, he would simply make sure the both of them would get nothing out of their agreement.

"Yes, yes. If you agree to return my soul, I will present you with a massive opportunity," persuaded Ming Shi.

"What opportunity?"

"It will help your soul clone gain an even stronger soul power!" said Ming Shi.

Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow, the offer tempting him. "Tell me in detail. Perhaps I can consider it."

"Return my soul first!" demanded Ming Shi.

"Hehe, do you take me for a fool?" Xiang Shaoyun sneered.

Ming Shi's eyes flickered craftily as he said, "Fine. I know the location of a natural earthly soul."

"Natural earthly soul!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed while his pupils shrank.

As someone who had read extensively, he had once read about the natural earthly soul from an ancient book. He knew that the natural earthly soul was a natural treasure whose very existence defied the natural order.

It was a soul formed from the heaven and earth borrowing the power of creation. The moment such a soul ripened, it might be able to transform into a new life form. If one could discover one such soul before the transformation and absorb it, one's soul would undergo a qualitative leap. One might even obtain numerous other marvelous benefits.

The natural earthly soul could be extremely beneficial for Nine Revolutions Realm experts or even Reincarnation Realm experts. Something so incredible was most definitely rare. Perhaps it was something Ming Shi had sought when he was attempting to enter the Reincarnation Realm.

"That's right. With the natural earthly soul, your soul power will easily increase by several levels. The Nine Revolutions Realm will be within reach!" Ming Shi continued his persuasion.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Very good. Take me to the natural earthly soul. After obtaining it, I'll return your half-soul."

"You!" Ming Shi did not expect that Xiang Shaoyun was merely digging information out of him. Thus, he raged.

Xiang Shaoyun's battle rune started pulsing as he coldly said, "You're going to attack me? Give it a try."

"I'll kill you, kid!" Ming Shi really did attack. With a roar, he swatted at Xiang Shaoyun furiously.

He wanted to see if the brand left in him by the Nether Monarch still worked. Just as his attack was about to land, Xiang Shaoyun's battle rune pulsed and resonated with the power within Ming Shi's body. The power instantly activated, sending strands of dreadful power coursing through Ming Shi's body.

Roar!

Ming Shi was unable to place his palm on Xiang Shaoyun, and the strands of Reincarnation Realm power destroyed his life force within his body. A ravaging power he couldn't withstand erupted within him.

He rolled on the ground in pain, crushing numerous rocks. The surrounding nether yin devils were greatly frightened, and they were subjected to a similar punishment that caused them extreme pain. That was a punishment originating from their very bloodline, one that was implicated upon them by their patriarch. A punishment so miraculous was truly something only those at the Reincarnation Realm could deal with.

"Go on. Keep acting cocky," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer when he saw that the crisis was over.

He did not expect the Nether Monarch's brand to be so terrifying, capable of torturing even an expert of such level to such an extent. A sense of longing for such power welled within him. If a day came when he had such strength as well, he might really be able to dominate the universe and bring peace to the dominion.

"Me-mercy! I won't do it again!" pleaded Ming Shi.

The power at the Reincarnation Realm was too terrifying. Ming Shi was truly helpless against him. He could feel his cultivation being erased once again. If this continued, he would drop to the Seven Revolutions or even Six Revolutions soon. Ultimately, he would be reduced to trash.

Xiang Shaoyun decided to quit while he was ahead. Making use of his battle rune, he calmed the power within Ming Shi, allowing Ming Shi to gasp in relief. Lying weakly on the ground, Ming Shi gasped for breath as his entire body trembled. Evidently, that little episode had scared him greatly.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and asked, "Are you still going to try to kill me?"

"N-no! That was a joke! Nether prince, please spare me!" Ming Shi hurriedly replied.

"Um. I trust you will not try anything stupid. Get up," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.

After that episode, Xiang Shaoyun had more confidence in putting Ming Shi under his control. If Ming Shi dared to rebel again, he wouldn't mind killing Ming Shi for real.

"Thank you, nether prince!" said Ming Shi as he got back on his feet with some lingering fear in his heart.

"Do not refer to me as the nether prince. Call me overlord or young master," said Xiang Shaoyun. "Also, were you telling the truth about the natural earthly soul?"

"Yes, young master. I was telling the truth. However, it won't be easy to get that soul. It is located amid an endless sea. In the past, I had wanted to give chase, but it wasn't mature enough, so it wouldn't have been of much help. I had planned to harvest it when it reached sufficient maturity so that I could enter the Reincarnation Realm," said Ming Shi.

Xiang Shaoyun asked, "Amid an endless sea? How are we supposed to locate it?"

"I left a strand of my aura on its body. No matter where it goes, I can track it," said Ming Shi confidently.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "Very good. Let's go look for this natural earthly soul, then."

"Young master, can you wait a bit and give me some time with my people?" asked Ming Shi carefully.

Xiang Shaoyun blanked out slightly before replying, "Go ahead."

He did not expect someone so ferocious would actually have such a soft side. It would seem like every living being had their own feelings.

"You can come with me as well, young master. My people have quite a lot of treasures. They might be helpful for you, young master," suggested Ming Shi.

"Sure, I'll go with you," Xiang Shaoyun agreed.

He also wanted to learn more about the land of the nether yin devils. He also wanted to know where exactly this place was. From Ming Shi, he learned that this place was known as the Nether Yin Planet. It was a mid-tier life planet, a planet ruled by the nether yin race. They were the strongest race on the planet.

However, the undefeatable Nether Monarch had sealed the entire planet. The nether yin devils were unable to leave, with the Nether Yin Gate of the Imperial Nether Clan being the sole option for them to leave.

Xiang Shaoyun also asked about the aliens. He learned a lot. After all, the nether yin devils could be considered a powerful race as well. Thus, they knew much about the various races.
