Akasha Spiritual World

The moment Nightmare went to the Akasha Store network to sell the three Peak 2nd Grade Martial Art Techniques and the two Low-Grade Artifacts, Ling Chen was already informed of his action by Akasha herself.

Previously, after knowing that Nightmare had a connection with one of the members of the Shadowless Council, Ling Chen had ordered Akasha to keep a close watch on him.

The Shadowless Council was an extremely secretive and mysterious organization that even the Ten Behemoths didn't know much about.

None of them seemed to have ties with anyone in the Omega Galaxy, except for the one known as Inevitable who was the master of Nightmare, the leader of the Night Owl Guild.

As the only link of the mysterious Shadowless Council, Ling Chen had ordered Akasha to follow Nightmare's every action as he would eventually lead him to them.

Currently, both Ling Chen and Akasha were standing high above the sky of the Akasha Spiritual World.

In front of them was a giant translucent screen that showed the image of two people on top of a mountain peak.

"So, this is Inevitable, one of the members of the Shadowless Council." Uttered Ling Chen with a devious smile on his face as he was looking at the masked man on the giant translucent screen.

Indeed, these two people were none other than Inevitable and Nightmare.

As the Demonic Shuras and Angelic Shuras were created by using the blood of the Primordial Shura Gods, they could see whatever their Demonic or Angelic Shuras were seeing and doing if wanted without their knowledge.

Not only that but they could also take over their bodies and even killed them with just a thought. They were like puppets with free will and that free will could be taken away at any given moment.

As such, it wasn't that hard for Ling Bing, the Dark Ice Primordial Shura Goddess to send the image of what her Demonic Shura subordinate was seeing to Akasha.

"Divine father, aren't you going to make your move now?" Akasha suddenly asked.

Just like the Demonic Shura was instantly summoned into this distant place, her Divine Father could also instantly teleport there. However, he didn't which puzzled Akasha.

He knew just how important and crucial this mission was. She even thought that Ling Chen was going to use himself as summoned Demonic Shura instead of sending a real one. But he didn't.

"Not yet, let's wait a little more." Answered Ling Chen with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

In truth, Ling Chen wanted nothing more but to teleport there, beat the crap out of Inevitable, then killed him and read all of his memories by absorbing his soul. However, he didn't dare to.

It wasn't because he was afraid of Inevitable and Nightmare, but because he didn't want to miss his only chance of discovering the secret of the Shadowless Council as well as its members.

From the memories of the Great Luo Martial God, Ling Chen knew that there were some powerful influences in the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe that placed restrictions on their members' souls as well as made them take the Heavenly Oath.

As such, even if they were captured by the enemies, they could never divulge any vital information or the secret about their influence even if they wanted to.

The moment a person tried to read their memories or forced them to divulge any vital information, they would instantly die and their souls would scatter.

It might seem extremely harsh and evil, but that's how those powerful influences protected their secrets from spies and their enemies.

As an extremely powerful and secretive organization, Ling Chen didn't believe that the Shadowless Council didn't put those measures in place in case one of its members fell into the enemies' hands. As such, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Furthermore, Ling Chen could also have used himself as bait by using illusion magic to pass on as one of the Demonic Shura. However, his illusion magic could only work on those whose soul's power was weaker than him.

He didn't know how strong Inevitable's soul power was. As such, he didn't dare to do it. Also, there were many artifacts and martial art techniques that allowed one to see through illusion. He didn't know whether Inevitable possessed one of them.

He didn't want to take any chances which was why he sent a real Demonic Shura and hoping that Inevitable would take him to the Shadowless Council's base to try to torture and get the information about the Akasha Spiritual World, then he would make his move.

He wanted to catch all of them or at least half of them at the same time.

....

"So, you are the legendary Demonic Shura." Coldly uttered Inevitable as he was looking at the evil and fiendish creature in front of him.

Aside from looking like a humanoid, there was nothing human about this evil creature in front of him.

He could tell that viciousness was that fiendish's creature nature and cruelty was like his instinct. It was as though this evil creature was the enemy of all life.

And even though he could tell that this fiendish creature was way weaker than him, he could still feel a great threat coming from him.

Furthermore, despite his vast knowledge, it was Inevitable's first time seeing such a creature. He had never heard and seen such a creature before even in the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe.

Looking at Inevitable's expression and the killing intent in his eyes, the Demonic Shura slowly shifted his cold gaze towards Nightmare and said in a chilling tone."Those who follow the Primordial Shura Gods live and prosper and those who defy and betray them die."

Nightmare was stricken with fear after hearing that. He could tell that the Demonic Shura had already found out about his betrayal.

Though they look like a bunch of fiendish and bloodthirsty creatures that only cared about killings and destruction, they were pretty smart.

Also, Nightmare realized that being an enemy with the Primordial Shura Gods and the Akasha Spiritual World was definitely anyone's worse nightmare. Death was inevitable regardless of how powerful they might be.

"I don't think you have the luxury of thinking about other people. If you want to live, you'll have to tell me everything you know about the Akasha Spiritual World and the Primordial Shura Gods." Coldly uttered Inevitable as a horrifying aura erupted forth from his body.
