Just as the Soul Emperor was about to collapse and his life force was being swallowed up by the power of annihilation, a figure appeared in front of him.
The reason why the Laws of Annihilation were terrifying wasn't just because of how powerful their attacks were. What was even more terrifying was that as long as one touched the power of the Laws of Annihilation, their life force would be swallowed up.
Although the Soul Emperor was strong, facing one of the strongest Laws in the universe, he still couldn't escape death. He could only stare on helplessly as the power of annihilation in his body slowly swallowed up his life force.
The Soul Emperor's lifeless eyes slowly opened. As he looked at the person in front of him, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Didn't I already …"
Before the Soul Emperor finished speaking, that person gently pressed down with a palm, thoroughly ending the Soul Emperor's life.
That person didn't have any emotion towards the Soul Emperor's death. After killing the Soul Emperor, that person bent down and picked up the sovereign godhead before vanishing into the depths of the forest.
.....
After Shenlang destroyed Soul Temple, he was brought back to Heavenly Mountain. After half a month of recuperation, Shenlang finally recovered.
The reason that move created such a terrifying scene was because Shenlang had completely used the Laws of Annihilation he had comprehended. These Laws were not something that anyone below the Ruler realm could use. If Shenlang forcefully used them, he would have to suffer a backlash.
Luckily, Shenlang had a faint understanding of the Laws of Annihilation, so the backlash wasn't too great.
"Did you find it?"
Shenlang pushed open the door. As he saw Taihuang, he frowned and asked.
Taihuang's head drooped. He helplessly said, "Reporting to Emperor, we haven't found the corpse of the Empress. Could it have been affected by the shockwaves of that battle?"
Shenlang rubbed his hands behind his back. He didn't speak. Instead, he paced back and forth for a while. "Let her be. If Ruyu's corpse was really swallowed up by annihilation then that can be considered a good ending."
Shenlang didn't believe that Yan Ruyu's corpse could be preserved under the power of annihilation in a land of extreme cold. The reason he looked for Yan Ruyu's corpse was only because he wanted to bury her. Since Yan Ruyu had been swallowed up by annihilation then it could be considered a proper burial.
.....
On the second month after Shenlang destroyed Soul Palace, Taihuang suddenly came to Shenlang's room and excitedly said, "Reporting to Emperor, the Soul Emperor's corpse has been found."
Creak!
The door opened and Shen Lang's figure appeared in front of Taihuang. A strange look flashed across his eyes. "Where is it?"
"It's here …"
.....
Although the Soul Emperor was dead, his corpse wasn't something that ordinary people could move. As a peak Ancestor realm existence, even if he was dead, the pressure he exuded wasn't something that ordinary people could withstand.
At this time, the place where the Soul Emperor died had already been sealed off by the nearest large influence, the Dark Regions. No one was allowed to enter.
After Shenlang brought Taihuang and One Page Book here, a middle-aged man with strange patterns on his face and a sinister aura hurried forward to greet Shenlang.
"Lord of the Dark Region, Xie Ling, greets the God Emperor."
Xie Ling didn't seem to care that Shenlang had ruined his plan to release the Asura King. It was as if nothing had happened.
Shenlang didn't care that Xie Ling had released the Asura King. Even if a few more Asura Kings appeared, they would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Where is the first person to discover the Soul Emperor's corpse?"
Shenlang asked Xie Ling. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
A Dao Integration cultivator from the Dark Region came over with a Transformation Realm cultivator.
The Transformation Realm cultivator was a man with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks. When he saw Shenlang, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. Even so, he still trembled as he saluted Shenlang.
"This lowly one, Hou Yong, greets the God Emperor."
Shenlang said indifferently, "When you discovered the Soul Emperor's corpse, did you discover anything else?"
Hou Yong did his best to recall, but he soon shook his head. "Reporting to the God Emperor, this lowly one is not strong enough to get close to him. I only saw someone from afar that the God Emperor seemed to be looking for. I didn't dare to delay and immediately reported it."
Shenlang nodded. He didn't doubt Hou Yong's words at all. With Hou Yong's strength, he would have long sensed that Hou Yong was lying to him.
Shenlang suddenly turned and looked at Xie Ling. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, "Lord of the Dark Region, did you see anything on the Soul Emperor's body?"
When Xie Ling met Shenlang's gaze, his heart couldn't help but tremble. A trace of cold sweat appeared on his face. He hurriedly said, "God Emperor, when I arrived, there were already many cultivators here. Later, I drove them away. Although I was able to enter the Soul Emperor's body, there was nothing on him at that time."
Shenlang gave Xie Ling a deep look and nodded. He didn't discover that Xie Ling was lying.
In truth, Shenlang wasn't surprised by the Soul Emperor's death. What he was surprised about was who took the Sovereign Godhead from the Soul Emperor. Although a Sovereign Godhead was good, it had its limits. If a Transformation Realm or Dao Integration Realm cultivator obtained a Sovereign Godhead, they would be nothing more than a useless rock. Even if it could help them comprehend the Great Dao, it couldn't help someone without potential break through to the Ancestor realm and reach the peak of the Ancestor realm, refining the Sovereign Godhead and becoming a Sovereign.
Only a Ancestor realm powerhouse would have a Sovereign Godhead be useful. In the entire Gods Continent, besides Qin Xiangtian, there was only him and the Sword Sovereign, as well as Taihuang and One Page Book. There was no need to mention Taihuang and One Page Book. They were both products of the system. If they obtained a Sovereign Godhead, they would definitely be given to him. As for the Sword Sovereign, that was even more impossible. When the Sovereign Godhead was placed in front of him, he wasn't moved at all. He only returned it after comprehending the Laws.
After expelling everyone, Shenlang was puzzled. Even if the Soul Emperor was dead, the Ancestor realm might he exuded wasn't something that ordinary people could approach. At the very least, one had to be at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm. Although the Sovereign Godhead was different, those who didn't know the inside story wouldn't know that it was a Sovereign Godhead. At most, they would think that it was a strange rock. If the person who discovered the Soul Emperor didn't know the use of the Sovereign Godhead, they definitely wouldn't take the risk of taking it away.
The deeds of the five Ruan brothers had already spread throughout the entire Gods Continent. Everyone knew that completing the God Emperor's mission to 'Shenlang' would give them rewards. Cultivation methods, divine weapons, and everything else one could think of. Thus, no one would risk being discovered by him and steal the Sovereign Godhead. It could also be said that it was a strange rock.
From this, it could be determined that the person who took the Sovereign Godhead knew that it was a Sovereign Godhead.
A person's figure flashed through Shenlang's mind. 'Qin Xiangtian'.
