"Try?" Jian Wushuang frowned.
But the soul was the foundation of a cultivator. Patriarch Star Demon wasn't a perfect life form like him, so how could he attempt it as a soul?
Perhaps if he was the slightest bit careless, this Star Devil Old Ancestor's soul body would collapse and he would die.
"If it were an ordinary cultivator, a normal soul wouldn't be able to attempt it at all. But I'm different. My soul is born with the ability to split. I can split my soul into two. One will remain in my main body while the other will follow the path to attempt it. As a result, the split soul was annihilated shortly after it attempted it."
"Once that soul was annihilated, my main body's soul immediately sensed it, and the memories of that soul also returned to my main body. Although I've lost a part of my soul, I've accumulated some experience, and I only need a certain amount of time to recover the soul I've lost, and then split it again."
"Just like that, I tried it over a hundred times over dozens of chaos cycles. Finally, I succeeded! My split soul managed to escape from the Eternal Prison of Darkness. "Forefather Star Fiend laughed.
Jian Wushuang remained silent.
He didn't expect Patriarch Star Demon to have such a special ability. He could actually split his soul into two and even if one of them was annihilated, its memories would return to the main body immediately.
Relying on this method, Patriarch Star Demon tried it over a hundred times in the Eternal Prison of Darkness and succeeded.
Of course, it wasn't by luck that Patriarch Star Demon was able to escape. It was a result of over a hundred chaos cycles of hard work and repeated attempts to repair his soul after the split soul.
If it were someone else, even if they found the gap, it would be impossible for them to escape from the Eternal Prison of Darkness.
Sighing, Jian Wushuang continued to listen to Patriarch Star Demon's narration.
"After my split soul escaped from the Eternal Prison of Darkness, it came to this Star Domain. Then, I seized a law master's body and wandered around this Star Domain for a period of time. After gaining a sufficient understanding of this Star Domain, my split soul executed Soul Burn and Annihilate," said Patriarch Star Demon.
"Soul Burn?" Jian Wushuang was taken aback.
That split soul had already escaped, so why did he choose to ignite his soul?
"Hehe ~ ~ ~" Patriarch Star Demon laughed strangely. "I had no choice. The split soul that I used to escape only took up twenty percent of my main body's soul. Moreover, I didn't have any treasures with me. Naturally, I wouldn't let this soul replace my main body. Therefore, after the split soul was annihilated and its memories returned to my main body, I began to make my preparations."
"This time, I made sufficient preparations. I restored my soul to its peak state. However, there are exceptions to everything. I didn't dare to gamble everything on this one time. Therefore, I continued to split my soul. I split ten percent of my soul and left it in my divine body. As for my core soul, I abandoned my divine body and entered that pathway with my many treasures."
"My cautiousness was not wrong. Although I had attempted it over a hundred times before, and even had a chance of success once, following that path to the final passageway contained far, far too much danger. Even though my soul was extremely careful, it still encountered a calamity in that passageway. As a result, many of my treasures were lost in the turbulent flow of space. Although my soul was fortunate enough to escape, it was heavily injured."
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
It was no wonder that after he killed Patriarch Star Demon in the Eternal Prison of Darkness, he didn't obtain any extremely valuable treasures from him.
It turned out that the Patriarch Star Demon he met in the Eternal Prison of Darkness was merely a split soul that carried his divine body. As for his treasures, they were all taken away by his main body's soul. When he escaped from the Eternal Prison of Darkness, those treasures were all lost.
"The lost treasures weren't so bad. Although there were a few Law Absolute Treasures and a few extremely precious items, as long as I could escape, there would be plenty of opportunities to retrieve those treasures in the future. However, the key was that my soul was severely injured. This was my main body's soul and not a split soul. The price of such a severe injury to the soul was extremely difficult for me to bear at that time."
"More importantly, this Star Region is at the very edge of the universe. Resources are scarce and the quality of cultivators is pitifully low. My soul was severely injured and I couldn't recover in a short period of time. First, I seized the body of a Law Master. Later, I seized the body of a ruler from another Star Region. This ruler was the Sorcerer God."
"Later, I temporarily stayed in this Star Region as the Sorcerer God. At the same time, I was looking for opportunities to recover my soul. However, due to the lack of resources, even after spending millions or even tens of millions of years, my soul only recovered a little. I knew that it was impossible to recover my soul by relying on normal means, so I could only think of ways to devour other people's souls!"
"By devouring souls, I could recover my own soul." Speaking of this, Patriarch Star Demon's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Jian Wushuang stared intently at Patriarch Star Demon. In the surrounding battlefields, many experts from both camps were also looking at Patriarch Star Demon. No one stepped forward to interrupt his narration.
"Actually, by devouring other people's souls, I could recover and even improve my own soul. Previously, in the Eternal Prison of Darkness, I had to devour the souls of the prisoners to recover my soul. However, the difference between the Eternal Prison of Darkness and the Eternal Prison of Darkness is that the level of cultivators in this Star Region is too low. There are very few stage-one sovereigns. Most of them are just Law Masters."
"The souls of Law Masters would probably need thousands or even tens of thousands of them to be comparable to the soul of a stage-three sovereign in the Eternal Prison of Darkness. This is far from enough for me, whose soul was severely injured. Hence, I turned my attention to the higher life forms, especially the special life forms." Patriarch Star Demon smiled.
"The higher level races or life forms, or even special life forms, their souls are completely different from normal human practitioners. To me, devouring the soul and divine body of a higher level life form is more useful than devouring the souls of hundreds of Precepts. Devouring a special life form, on the other hand, is comparable to devouring a stage two or even stage three sovereign."
