Chapter 547: Chapter 404: Annihilate the Soul Clan’s Expert! Ruthless and Taciturn!
Xu Gu had been keeping a vigilant eye on the mountain peak.
Feeling the disturbances, his smile turned cold, murder intent emitted, and darkness emerged behind him, causing his figure to vanish from its original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already atop the mountain peak, just a step away from the Divine Blood.
"Seeking death!"
Xu Gu’s actions instantly infuriated the three figures, releasing a terrifying mental shockwave that burst forth like falling stars, causing countless ripples.
The critical point was that this attack targeted the mind!
Xu Gu frowned slightly, used the [Death] Authority to directly erase the life force of the mental shock, while also activating the Divine Artifact, Black Divine Ring, a domineering barrier appeared in the air, easily devouring even the intangible mental shock.
"This method, it’s the Soul Clan!"
"The Soul Clan has actually reemerged!"
The widely knowledgeable and learned Golden Beast screamed out.
Not just the Golden Beast, the Kan Turtle also shivered, as if recalling the fear of being dominated.
It was evident that they recognized these three beings, whose forms were imperceptible to most people and whose presence was unfelt.
"Soul Clan?!"
The others were also greatly shocked, finding it utterly unbelievable.
The impact of this scene for them was no less than the recent incident where Xu Gu and the bizarre creature teamed up to instantly kill five Demon Kings.
Even more so!
"The Soul Clan was the strongest race during the era of the All Clans’ Strife and one of the ’Divine Clans’ at that time. They had the potential to become the new overlords of the starry sky. Their status was on par with Divine, Atlantis civilization, and the early-era Human Clan.
"Because they lack a normal physical form and cannot be hit by ordinary attacks, they can also parasitize within others’ souls, influencing decisions and consciousness.
"However, due to bad luck, they encountered the powerful Five Elements Clan and internal strife within their own race, ultimately leading to their collective resistance by All Clans and their complete annihilation."
Elf Queen explained to Xu Gu.
Following the end of the Divine Era, the relatively brief era of All Clans’ Confrontation ensued.
Originally, had there been no accidents, the Soul Clan would have become the overlords of the era of All Clans’ Confrontation.
Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and they failed.
After the Soul Clan’s failure, numerous powerful ’Divine Clans’ emerged within All Clans, however, all eventually proved to be illusions. The prosperity of the All Clans Strife, instead, became temporary due to mutual confrontations and conflicts, leading to a fading mirage.
All Clans ultimately headed towards decay and depression.
The onset of the mechanical and motorization era followed closely.
"Originally, I thought the Soul Clan had been completely wiped out, never to appear in the deep space again, yet unexpectedly, after a long era, they have returned.
"And it seems they are still plotting some schemes," Elf Queen expressed her worries.
It was inevitable; the strength of the Soul Clan was etched into every race that continued from the era of All Clans.
Their ability to appear and disappear like ghosts was too peculiar.
It was inevitable to be worried.
"Not long ago, there was some movement from the Soul Clan. The reason why the Elf King could escape the Night Owl Queen’s assassination was because he was protected by a powerful member of the Soul Clan."
The pale-skinned, frail-looking Liu Ying slowly spoke, "Now they have extended their hands into the Divine Domain Battlefield. Looking at it this way, the conspiracy they are secretly plotting is probably no small matter!"
Back then, the collaboration between the Elf King and the Soul Clan to escape from the Night Owl Queen’s assassination stirred up a lot of commotion in the Mechanical Sea.
She and Witch Clan Saintess Lin Xuanji, who could barely be considered significant figures in the Mechanical Sea, used their own network of channels to learn information about the Mechanical Sea, which was not difficult.
About this, they were not particularly panicked.
The era had passed, and now was the era of mechanization or motorization, even if the Soul Clan had returned, they would at most cause minor disturbances and couldn’t stir up much of a storm.
Of course, they still took the plots of the Soul Clan seriously.
"What? The Soul Clan and the Elf King are close? Doesn’t that mean that the Soul Clan will also be an enemy to our master?!" Elf Queen exclaimed.
She could no longer remain calm.
The Elf King could be considered Xu Gu’s foremost rival in his earlier days.
Originally, as Xu Gu’s strength advanced, the Elf King, who was merely an Intermediate King, didn’t amount to much. But if he were close to the Soul Clan and supported by them, it would be somewhat difficult to deal with.
Dwarf Race Princess, petite and delicate like a mini real-life figurine, Xing He self-reproachfully said:
"At that time, I had already abandoned the darkness for light, turning to serve our master. My father cut off contact with me. Only when the master demonstrated his divine might, defeating the Sea God’s avatar, did I get back in touch with the Dwarf Race, receiving support with intelligence. Thus, I was unable to learn of this news and notify the master in time!"
The attitude of the Dwarf Race King also illustrated the issue.
In fact, most of the Demon Kings in the Mechanical Sea would rather bet on Xu Gu. After all, it’s much more worth being friends with someone destined to become a powerful God than to be enemies.
Just like the Night Owl Queen.
Unfortunately, most Demon Kings didn’t have such an opportunity. They also dared not blatantly rebel against the world by giving Xu Gu benefits.
The Gods of the Mechanical Sea were, after all, returning!
Their exchange was almost instantaneously completed.
Because, at their level, conveying information takes only a thought.
Even if the information is massive.
"The Soul Clan, the entire clan, has also returned."
Xu Gu frowned slightly, once again feeling some pressure with the return of the gods from the Mechanical Sea, the emergence of the relics of Atlantis, and the mysterious elders from the Human Clan in the Death Realm, as well as the resurgence of the Soul Clan.
The entire situation in the starry universe seemed even more complex than he had imagined!
However, he soon smiled:
"They are all just my nourishment. If I can’t deal with the gods from the Mechanical Sea for now, then I’ll just have to grow and first take care of this group of Soul Clan and kings of the Mechanical Sea."
Speaking, his gaze fell on the three people ahead:
"The debt the Elf King owes me, I will first collect some interest from you!"
"Arrogant! We simply avoided you because you were not our target."
One of the Soul Clan powerhouses spoke coldly, very haughtily, not taking Xu Gu seriously at all. They were already somewhat impatient and annoyed at being pressured by a mere Human Clan youngster like Xu Gu, exclaiming angrily, "It doesn’t mean we can’t kill you. Retreat quickly; don’t seek death."
"Wait, I know who you are! You are Xu Gu!"
Suddenly, the Soul Clan powerhouse in the middle’s expression changed as if he linked something together and exclaimed in shock.
"What?!"
These words were like a huge stone dropping into a vast ocean, causing towering waves.
The other two Soul Clan powerhouses couldn’t accept this reality.
In their perception, Xu Gu was still weak. Even if his talent was heaven-defying, he was just a young prodigy of the Human Clan. In their eyes, he was mere ants.
They merely lacked the opportunity; if they had the chance, they could crush him with a simple lift of their hand.
But, this Human Clan youngster in front of them could easily slaughter a Lower King, and with the coordination of his Battle Pet, he had even reached the level of an Intermediate King! This made them all wary.
How could it be Xu Gu!
However,
When they tried to compare the youngster in front of them with the information they knew of Xu Gu, they suddenly looked up, their faces filled with shock.
It was like seeing a ghost!
"Xu Gu, it really is you!"
"It really comes without effort!"
"You wanted to die, right? Well, now you have become our target."
The three Soul Clan powerhouses, without form because they were in a special soul state, emitted voices that were incredibly chilling and eerie, like three ghosts murmuring in the air.
In their words, there was already an unimaginable excitement and greed.
The atmosphere on the field instantly became tense and extremely cold.
As they said, these three Soul Clan powerhouses had avoided earlier indeed because Xu Gu was not their target, but rather there were other creatures they were after and didn’t want to waste energy and resources on Xu Gu.
However, upon learning Xu Gu’s identity, their hearts immediately heated up.
By killing Xu Gu, the reward they would receive would be hundreds to thousands of times what they had invested!
"Your talent is indeed against the heavens; in just a short period of time, you have already become a terrifying presence at the level of an Intermediate King! Truly a monster!
"But, your luck is too bad! You met us!"
"Hahaha, come to die!"
The three Soul Clan laughed wildly, murderous intent chilling as they locked onto Xu Gu and directly launched their strongest attack, planning to crush Xu Gu.
For a moment, the winds and clouds in the sky changed as they activated the Field and other lethal methods.
This was a killing move they had already prepared!
Originally planned to deal with another powerful Intermediate King.
However, since Xu Gu sought death, they had to kill Xu Gu first.
However, before their voices even fell.
A rumbling sound was heard!
Xu Gu’s Battle Instrument, like a star carrying the force of a massive thunderbolt, dragging his body, suddenly plummeted.
As if shattering the heavens and earth.
Like a hydrogen bomb exploding!
Instantly, the sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, a Soul Clan powerhouse, unable to react in time, was hit by the sword light and then, even more directly, exploded overwhelmingly.
All signs of life dissipated in the universe.
A Soul Clan powerhouse fell just like that!
"Chattering endlessly, aren’t you done?" Xu Gu’s expression was indifferent, but he seemed like the grim reaper urging death, looking at these two Soul Clan powerhouses, speaking faintly.
The two, previously laughing wildly, had their smiles suddenly freeze on their faces, turning into endless horror.
Silence!
A deathly silence.
The entire universe, even within the vast Battle Space of Xu Gu’s Battle Instrument, also fell into deadly silence.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
No one expected that the Soul Clan, once seen as a nightmare by all clans countless ages ago, would be instantly killed by Xu Gu like this.
