Chapter 7084 Abuse of Position

The Jiuli Tower quivered. Divine light rose from its first level all the way to its thirteenth, and this divine light enveloped the entire Jiuli Divine Realm. The middle-aged man instantly froze, and terror filled his eyes. He was finally experiencing the true terror of a primal chaos divine item.

Even though he knew the problem was Zi Yan and not the Heavenly Devil Zither, the fact that their clash had ended in a draw had made him start to look down on it. However, any sense of confidence he had towards the primal chaos divine items was completely crushed in front of the Jiuli Tower. Even just this basic domain made it impossible for him to even move a finger, let alone fight back.

His spear was shuddering. He couldn’t control it.

As expected, the only way to actually control the Jiuli Tower is to gain the approval of the two patriarchs. Jiang Li never even stood a chance.

Long Chen smiled in satisfaction. It was now clear to him that those two patriarchs, the guardians of the Jiuli race, were the ones truly in control of the Jiuli Tower. Once Long Zhantian made them acknowledge him, they naturally granted him all the authority he needed.

Long Zhantian appeared in the sky. He glanced at Long Chen’s smug appearance speechlessly. He had originally thought that Long Chen had encountered some kind of danger and was asking for help. But instead, he had brought some kind of weird guest.

“You can deal with him however you want!” said Long Zhantian.

Long Chen grinned and stepped forward, appearing before the middle-aged man. Since he had the Jiuli bloodline, the Jiuli Tower’s divine radiance did not affect him in the slightest.

“Come here!”

Long Chen waved his hand, beckoning over the spear in the middle-aged man’s hand.

The star spear was shockingly heavy. Dense star diagrams were carved onto it, and the stars that marked the nodes of the diagrams were actually miniaturized star cores embedded into the spear!

“Incredible, this spear is actually embedded with hundreds of star cores!” Long Chen had long since noticed that this spear was extraordinary, but he hadn’t expected it to be this precious. This method of using star cores to create divine weapons had probably long since been lost.

The star diagrams flowed on top of the spear in Long Chen’s hand. Its incredible pressure made Long Chen’s arm numb. It wanted to flee. However, under the pressure of the Jiuli Tower, it couldn’t exhibit its full power.

Obviously, the item-spirit of the spear did not approve of Long Chen. Even after being suppressed, it was not willing to submit.

“Tch. Alright, if you want to do it the hard way, that’s fine with me.” Long Chen directly threw the spear into the primal chaos space. When it reappeared in his hand, it was quiet and immobile.

The middle-aged man instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. “You... How?!”

He had no idea how Long Chen could possibly wipe out the item-spirit he had been raising for countless years, but whatever Long Chen had done had caused a tremendous injury to his soul.

“Soul law—Soul-Locking Curse!”

Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength surged, and the middle-aged man trembled. His face twisted in anguish. Unfortunately, his soul was injured, and even if it hadn’t been, the suppression of the Jiuli Tower made it so that he couldn’t mobilize it to do anything.

“Soul law—Soul-Devouring Curse!”

Long Chen formed a one-handed seal. The middle-aged man let out a mournful shriek. His soul had been bound by the first curse, and now, countless maggots had appeared in his soul and were starting to devour it bit by bit. These were, of course, not actual maggots but curse runes. As they devoured his soul, they also read his memories.

The violet blood race’s supreme soul technique was split into four curses: the Soul-Locking Curse, Soul-Devouring Curse, Soul-Extinguishing Curse, and Soul-Refining Curse.

The Soul-Locking Curse was the foundation of everything. It could freeze a target’s soul for a certain time. Even if the opponent’s soul was strong and the time was consequently short, it was easy for an expert to launch a killing blow even in that brief lapse.

The Soul-Devouring Curse was more used for torture or punishment. It was also used for extracting information—after devouring the target’s soul, the memories devoured by the maggots could be pieced back together. It was a heaven-defying ability, and even more so because it wouldn’t cause spiritual restrictions to activate and destroy the target’s soul. After all, it was not a soulsearch.

The middle-aged man was first struck by the Soul-Locking Curse so he couldn’t even self-detonate. He could only sit there and experience the pain of his soul being devoured.

Normally, the power disparity between him and Long Chen would have made the Soul-Locking Curse entirely ineffective. As for the Soul-Devouring Curse, Long Chen didn’t have complete control over it, so it was impossible to use it in the middle of combat.

However, with the Jiuli Tower holding him down, the middle-aged man could not resist at all. His pained screams and cursing filled the air, making the Jiuli race experts quiver in fear.

Long Chen and his father were truly vicious people. Long Chen had just killed a triple manifestation Divine Sovereign in the form of Long Can, and now the two of them were joining forces to kill another triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign!

These people were at the peak of the world right now! Not even the former realm lord, Jiang Li, would dare to provoke them!

When they thought of this, the Jiuli race’s experts were also struck by another realization: Long Chen’s and Long Zhantian’s ruthlessness was reserved for outsiders, but Jiang Li had been most ruthless toward the Jiuli race itself. He had used every method available, no matter how underhanded, to make everyone submit to him. On the other hand, Long Chen’s deeds were well-known. Even though there were countless people who hated him to the bone, not a single person could claim that he mistreated his own people.

Long Zhantian watched as the middle-aged man’s aura weakened more and more, with Long Chen showing no intention of stopping. He suddenly said, “Chen-er, do you want to spare him? I can help you refine him into a puppet!”

A triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign puppet?! The very thought caused everyone in the Jiuli Divine Realm to shudder.

To their shock, Long Chen shook his head. “No, something on this level won’t protect me for long. Also, I don’t like his face!”

A few moments later, the final trace of the man’s soul was devoured. His Yuan Spirit was gone. Although he looked entirely uninjured on the surface, he was nothing but a corpse. This pitiful triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign had not even gotten a chance to leave a name behind before dying. Even after personally witnessing his death, the Jiuli race’s experts still felt like this couldn’t be real.

Long Chen tossed the corpse into the primal chaos space. A ball of light appeared in his hand—most of the man’s soul had been reconstructed!

A rune flashed inside of it; this was a condensation of the man’s memories. It only occupied a tenth of the sphere. Other than the memory rune, the rest was soul essence, purified by the Soul-Devouring Curse maggots.

Long Chen retrieved the memory rune and waved his hand, sending the soul essence to Long Zhantian.

Long Zhantian received it with surprise. “This is the soul essence of a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign. It can nourish and increase your Spiritual Strength, and even a tenth of it would greatly increase someone’s chance of condensing a triple manifestation. It’s a priceless treasure. Are you sure you don’t want it?”

“It has no use for me. Sure, it could help someone condense a triple manifestation, but their road would stop there. But the Jiuli race is weak right now, so I leave it to you. Although the two of us are father and son, you are also the lord of the Jiuli Divine Realm. We have to pay back our debts to each other and make sure things are even. You helped me kill him, which can be considered an abuse of your position, so it’s only fair for us to split the gains.”

Long Zhantian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You brat...”

Zi Yan held back a laugh as she stared at Long Chen’s righteous appearance.

Long Chen went over to Zi Yan and took her hand. “My dear, you should say goodbye to your father-in-law...”

Zi Yan instantly turned red. Before she could say anything, starlight flashed beneath Long Chen’s feet, and the two of them vanished.

Left speechless, Long Zhantian eyed the sphere of light in his hand.

“That little brat really is his mother’s son...”
