Chapter 2301: Reconstructing the Soul!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

“Soul Fire!”

As Wang Chong sealed the soul remnants, Wang Chong activated the Stone of Destiny’s ability, and an azure light wrapped around Little Nightmare’s shattered soul .

To Wang Chong’s knowledge, Soul Fire was the only ability capable of preserving Little Nightmare’s shattered soul .

Buzz!

Wang Chong immediately left with Divine Embryo 1, Little Nighmare’s soul, and the entirety of the Wang Family Residence within the halo divine tool, rushing through that gap in Heaven’s power and the opening in Essence Supreme’s domain .

Life or death would depend on this moment . Wang Chong unleashed all his potential and streaked out like a silver comet, piercing through spacetime and disappearing into the depths .

“Where are you going!?

“Essence Ruler Weaving!”

Behind him, Essence Supreme turned cold, his ancient divine ruler rising into the air and creating countless beams of light that intersected across the world like intertwining threads .

The heavens and earth were like fine sand and spacetime was like the sea . Once one disappeared into the depths of spacetime, they would be basically unfindable, like searching for a needle in the ocean .

But as one of the longest-living people in this world, Essence Supreme had special methods to seek out trails in spacetime and chase down Wang Chong .

“There’s no need! Let him go!” A familiar and dignified voice rang out in Essence Supreme’s mind .

Essence Supreme trembled and stopped moving his divine ruler .

Turning around, Essence Supreme spoke to the depths of spacetime . “Great One, would we not be wasting our efforts by letting him go like this? And with this lesson, he’ll be even more cautious, and it won’t be as easy to catch him . ”

Wang Chong’s threat was just too great . Putting aside the fact that he had killed Firmament Supreme and Genesis Supreme, he had somehow managed to successfully escape from Heaven’s offensive . Catching him again would not be so easy .

And Wang Chong was no weakling . If he did as before and compressed all his energy to blend in with the millions of inhabitants of the capital, even Heaven and Essence Supreme would find it very difficult to find him .

More importantly, Wang Chong had already ruined many of their plans, including the Purification plan . If they allowed him to freely move around, he would continue to pose a major threat to the Celestial God Organization .

“There is no need for concern . He will not leave, nor can he . It won’t be long until he returns . ”

Heaven’s voice remained aloof and indifferent, suffused with a supreme majesty . It was as if everything was under his control .

Essence Supreme was taken aback before seemingly understanding .

“Yes, Great One,” Essence Supreme quickly said with respect .

He had never doubted Heaven’s decisions . Since Heaven had spoken, Wang Chong would definitely return .

Bzz! Heaven and Essence Supreme vanished . On the ground, the battle-scarred area that had been previously occupied by the Wang Family Residence was completely empty, as if there had never been anything there .

Soon, with a great clamor, people began to emerge from the surrounding houses .

These people stared blankly at where the Wang Family Residence had been, apparently clueless as to what had occurred .

No—to be more precise, it was like things had always been this way, like the Wang family had never existed!

It was as if something else had been wiped from the minds of the capital’s inhabitants .

……

In the depths of infinite spacetime, Wang Chong constantly shifted around, trying to escape the capital as best he could .

The depths of spacetime were already an excellent place to hide . Even Grotto Heaven realm experts would find it extremely difficult to pursue anyone into here .

Whoosh!

After some time, Wang Chong finally felt the feeling of pursuit disappearing and exhaled in relief .

“I finally shook them off!” Wang Chong muttered . This battle had consumed all his strength . He had lost the golden short halberd, and Little Nightmare had detonated itself to give him a chance to escape . Wang Chong himself was covered in wounds .

Thinking back to it, this was probably the most dangerous battle Wang Chong had ever been through .

Heaven had been far stronger than Wang Chong had estimated . Wang Chong had believed that the gap between Grotto Heaven realm experts could not be too great and that Heaven’s avatar couldn’t have reached the Divine Martial realm . But while Heaven’s avatar truly hadn’t reached the Divine Martial realm, it was definitely the equivalent of four Grotto Heaven realm experts .

The gap between them was far too great .

However, Wang Chong quickly cast these thoughts to the side .

Buzz!

Wang Chong opened his hand, and an azure ball of light appeared within it .

“Little Nightmare! I won’t let you die!”

Wang Chong looked at that weak light and clenched his teeth .

To help him escape, Little Nightmare had detonated its Stellar Energy and soul . Without it, Wang Chong would have found it extremely difficult to escape . However, Wang Chong still had many questions . For example, why had the Nightmare Beast appeared beneath the grounds of the Wang Family Residence? And why had it suddenly rushed out?

But these were not important . Wang Chong could sense that Little Nightmare’s soul was in tatters and could go out at any time .

“Little Nightmare, hold on!”

Wang Chong linked with the azure ball of light and immediately poured in Grotto Heaven realm Stellar Energy so as to maintain it .

Wang Chong immediately communicated with the Stone of Destiny and firmly ordered with clenched teeth, “Stone of Destiny, preserve Little Nightmare’s soul! No matter what the price is, how many points of Destiny Energy I have to pay, I want to save it!”

Death was like a light going out, and the self-detonation of a soul was basically certain death . As life and death were beyond the power of martial arts, Wang Chong could only place his hopes on the Stone of Destiny .

At present, the Stone of Destiny could display many incredible powers far beyond the realm of martial arts, like controlling the weather and even preserving Little Nightmare’s soul .

Buzz!

Sensing Wang Chong’s strong desire, the Stone of Destiny erupted with dazzling light . A moment later, an invisible energy wrapped around Little Nightmare’s tattered soul .

“User’s request has been received . Scanning for soul remnants…

“Shattered soul of target detected . Damage level at 98% and currently in the process of disappearing . Target soul will completely disappear in 4 minutes and 8 seconds!” The Stone of Destiny’s mechanical voice rang out .

“A damage level of ninety-eight percent…”

This number made Wang Chong’s heart turn cold . In other words, Little Nightmare’s soul was on the verge of oblivion, and there was not a single intact shard left .

Moreover, Little Nightmare’s soul was in the process of disappearing, meaning…

Wang Chong didn’t dare to continue thinking .

Nightmare Beasts were not exactly gentle creatures . In an ancient era, they were synonymous with devils, all martial artists avoiding them like the plague . And in their first encounter, in the Origin Immortal Lord’s underground cavern, the two of them had been enemies, Wang Chong almost dying at its hands .

But over time, Wang Chong discovered that beneath its frightening appearance was a soul the same as any human . It felt joy and sorrow, felt aggrieved at being misunderstood, and could feel lonely and afraid .

In essence, it was actually a ‘human’ .

More importantly, Little Nightmare had detonated its soul for him!

Wang Chong clenched his teeth and ordered, “Stone of Destiny, save Little Nightmare no matter what!

“Use the power of the Archon of Destiny, use all my Destiny Energy! I only want one outcome! No matter what, don’t let it die!”

Wang Chong didn’t know if the Stone of Destiny had the ability to bring back the dead, but at this time, Wang Chong used every method he could think of . The Archon of Destiny’s powers and Destiny Energy were the two strongest methods Wang Chong could think of .

All was quiet, frighteningly so . The Stone of Destiny had fallen into a long silence, seemingly searching for more of the Nightmare Beast’s soul .

“Request received . Scanning again for target soul…”

One minute, two minutes…

Each second seemed like an entire year .

In the past, Wang Chong wouldn’t have been so sensitive to the passage of time, not caring about the passing of one or two minutes, but at this moment, they meant that Little Nightmare only had two minutes left .

After some time, the Stone of Destiny spoke once more . “Scan ended . Target’s soul is damaged too severely . Reconstructing the soul is essentially impossible!” Its voice seemed to be pronouncing the death penalty, a heavy hammer slamming into Wang Chong’s mind and shattering his hopes .

“Not even the Stone of Destiny can do it…”

Wang Chong’s body trembled, his eyes dimming . He had not expected that even though he had tried his best to save Little Nightmare’s soul and bring it here, he still couldn’t save it .

Since his reincarnation, this was the first someone had died to save him!

Wang Chong felt like there was a heavy stone pressing down on his chest .

But just when Wang Chong had lost all hope…

“Unexpected development! Investigating!

“A small core portion has been found amongst the target fragments . The target’s soul cannot be reconstructed, but there is an 8% chance of having the target survive in a different fashion . Does user wish to use the Archon’s Power to save the target?”

Silence!

Absolute silence!

Wang Chong was dumbfounded . He had believed that there was no hope, but the situation had taken a completely unexpected turn .
