Chapter 789 - 528: Soul Spirit Magus King, Black Lotus Naga
The Southeast domain is a very mysterious place.
Due to its geographical proximity, the influence of Great Xia is deeply rooted in this region, and many who adhere to or believe themselves part of the orthodox way, particularly those of six-star level and above, often adopt the style of Great Xia, referring to themselves as "True Master".
However, not everyone agrees with this notion.
In fact, for the strong, titles are freely chosen.
—— Li Wenzhan, the "Soul Spirit Law King".
He is the sect hierarch of the hidden influence "Shadow Soul Sect" spanning multiple countries in the Southeast domain, with nearly a million followers.
He is a notorious six-star level figure from the country of Binlu, famous for his fierce reputation.
The origins of Li Wenzhan are scarcely known, only that he naturally awakened the "Yin Soul Master" talent, ranked 867 in the Purple Sequence, and was later discovered and taken by a wandering evil Spirit Master.
Due to his special talent, he was taken as both a servant and an apprentice, gaining access to the Contract Technique and touching upon the way of Spirit Masters. Later, his master died from backlash during a soul refining process, and the contracted Spirit Beast perished along, granting Li Wenzhan the opportunity to absorb most of his master’s fragmented souls and inheritance, causing his power to soar.
In the decades that followed, he was active on the border battlefields of Binlu, Bharat, Great Yue, and Siam, in plague-stricken and large-scale conflict zones, specializing in harvesting battlefield souls and taking the lives of those in the wilderness.
His secretive and enigmatic methods, while causing countless deaths and sparking numerous conflicts, never drew focused attention from top figures in major countries.
Over sixty years ago, he instigated intense internal conflicts among some warlord factions within Bharat.
In the ruins of a battle where tens of thousands of Spirit Masters died, Li Wenzhan appeared at the end with his contracted Spirit Beast, ambushing and killing all remaining strong opponents and turning everything into nourishment, pushing his accumulation to the extreme, and went into seclusion for days, eventually consolidating True Intent and True Body, and breaking through with his contracted Beast King.
After ascending to six-star, he began assembling his own power, acting more boldly. Even when pursued by those of the same level, he often escaped with ease, only to retaliate frighteningly, shocking all countries in the Southeast domain and solidifying his notorious reputation as the "Soul Spirit Law King", causing all sides to fear him greatly.
As a rule.
A legendary and notorious figure like him, regardless of the provocation or attack faced, his first response is always to retaliate and strike back.
He indeed did.
In 0.1 second after being hit, shadows like bone-crunching grubs rose silently all around, carrying his True Intent, and contending with the internal structure of a giant shark filled with searing flames and murderous intent, wielding terrifying power.
Boom!!
The next moment, both sides’ powers erupted simultaneously, horrifying roars and shrill screams from devoured souls in the shadows converged, forming waves of killing intent, carrying pure destructive will, spreading towards the interior of the "Right Livelihood Hall".
Boom!!!!
Horrifying mana burst forth, black and red like blood in an Ether storm swept through, causing the forbiddingly reinforced mysterious grand building to tremble slightly, with bricks and tiles falling from the dome.
Li Wenzhan instantly reassembled his body from shadows, standing at the door of a side hall.
However, at this moment, instead of immediately retaliating as he should have, he did not strike immediately.
His mind was suddenly overwhelmed with shock, his dark pupils narrowing sharply.
Because the opponent had revealed their true appearance.
The figure of a youth dressed in a black coat and wearing a black crown.
And the white-haired girl beside him.
He recognized them.
——From Fenghai Province of Great Xia Nine Provinces, last champion of the provincial games.
In the next instant, Li Wenzhan reacted immediately, the surging shadow waves once again engulfing around him, fending off the aftershock of the strike, then spreading again, with a giant pure black lotus-like shape suddenly appearing in the center of the shadows, holding the "Soul Spirit Law King" in its lotus heart.
However, from the six-star Spirit Master perspective, this strike, to ensure a hit, seemed overly focused on speed and failed to inflict any substantial harm on Li Wenzhan and his contractual partner.
Although his body was indeed broken into isolating shadows, burning away some Yin Souls within, its effect was limited.
At this very moment.
In this dimly lit front hall, it seemed as though only the lingering shadow and the bright flames stood opposed, as well as the humanoid figures facing each other from afar.
Li Wenzhan suspended in the layered "Black Lotus" center, feeling the burning, pain, and explosive sensation still present in his Spiritual Power, slightly apprehensive, looked towards the figures standing amidst the flames.
A handsome young man, a pretty silver-haired girl with demon-like horns, a girl with wolf ears wielding dual swords, and a towering ten-meter-tall steel giant in yellow and black.
Their gazes were fixed on this black lotus, faces varied yet flickering with the same dark golden glow.
In Li Wenzhan’s pitch-black eyes, the True Intent, resembling a pure black quagmire, churned vigorously, showing emotional turbulence.
——Could it really be that Lin Guang from Great Xia?
At such a young and immature age, has this guy already consolidated True Intent?!
The speed and power of that strike earlier, even from his seasoned six-star perspective, deemed not very strong but worthy of attention, yet from the look of the Spiritual Power, he wasn’t even five-star.
And those contractual partners around him also exuded quite potent auras, even giving him a sense of danger.
To be able to stand right in front of him with just a four-star level, how much treasure had been bestowed upon him, and how many precious resources and True Intent Implantations has he been endowed with?
