When the strange chanting began, Denglong's soul began to tremble. To his horror, he realized that his soul was being suppressed by the chanting. As the chanting grew louder and louder, the amount of soul energy he could control began to decrease!
"Impossible! How is this possible!!! I clearly erased your consciousness, and when I devoured you, I also refined your soul energy. Why … Why is it like this … "
Denglong's face was filled with disbelief. He was completely dumbfounded by the situation.
The disciples of the Soul Refining School could devour the souls of others. This was something everyone in the world of cultivation knew. But it wasn't only the disciples of the Soul Refining School who could devour the souls of others. Anyone who knew the method was capable of doing so!
But why was it that only the disciples of the Soul Refining School dared to do so? Why was it that no one else dared to do so? This was because only the Soul Refining School could devour the souls of others without any risk at all. If anyone else tried to devour the souls of others, they'd suffer a backlash if they weren't careful. If they weren't careful, they'd fail. If they weren't careful, they'd be heavily injured and even be devoured instead!
The dangers involved couldn't be explained with just a few words. But if something were to happen, it would be an irreversible and permanent injury. No matter how powerful one was, it would be difficult to recover from it. Because of this, only the Soul Refining School was capable of devouring souls!
The reason why they dared to do so was because they'd developed a set of soul refining techniques that could ensure their own safety during the process. For example, they could erase the consciousness of the soul's owner. They could also use a secret technique of the Soul Refining School to refine every bit of soul energy and ensure that the soul was devoured in the purest form without any impurities.
Denglong didn't neglect any of these steps. As one of the four Soul Children of the Soul Refining School, Denglong's techniques were even more powerful and unique. He was even more adept at devouring souls. In theory, he shouldn't be in a situation like Blue Dragon's.
This was the reason why Denglong was so confused. He couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Are you curious as to why I'm not dead and why I'm devouring you?"
Hayashikawa's soul floated in the sea of Pyrolyte's spiritual energy. The grand chanting continued to reverberate throughout his soul. Countless black runes emanated from Hayashikawa's body and eroded the surroundings.
"This scripture …" Zhao came to his senses at this moment. His eyes fell on the black Talisman around Hayashikawa. He knew that the problem probably lay with this strange and mysterious black Talisman.
"There are millions of cultivation techniques in the world of cultivation, but there are only three that are the most powerful. They are called the Primordial Scriptures — Taiyi Dao Scriptures, Buddha Scriptures, and Mahākāśyapa Scriptures!"
"The Taiyi Dao Scripture focuses on spiritual power, the Buddha's True Scripture focuses on body refinement, and the Mahānata Scripture focuses on the soul!"
"What you are looking at now is one of the three great scriptures of the Cultivation World, the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture!"
Hayashikawa looked down at the sea of spiritual power that was constantly being suppressed. His expression was indifferent, like a god.
Denglong raised his head and looked at Hayashikawa. His black eyes were filled with despair. He was looking at a god, a god that he couldn't defeat!
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight back, or that he didn't want to live. It was because he had no way to fight back. There was no way at all!
If he had discovered the problem before devouring the Blue Dragon's soul, he would have had a lot of ways to fight back. At the very least, he could have detonated his own soul to prevent the Blue Dragon from devouring him!
But when he personally devoured the Blue Dragon's soul and merged it with his own, all his methods were useless!
He thought that he had devoured the Blue Dragon's soul, but the truth was that he had personally guided the Blue Dragon's soul to devour his own. The moment the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture erupted, everything was irreversible!
No matter how powerful his soul refining technique was, it was impossible for him to fight against the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture, one of the three great scriptures of the Cultivation World. He couldn't even self-detonate.
The Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture!
This name was once Denglong's dream. It was something that the entire Soul Refining School didn't dare to dream of. He knew how powerful and terrifying this technique was, so when the Blue Dragon said this name, all of his strength was sucked away.
"Blue Dragon, Divine Envoy … I hope that one day the Soul Refining School can kill you and take the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture away.
Denglong's soul was gradually fading away. Hayashikawa was frantically devouring his soul. The runes of the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture had spread throughout his soul. He had completely lost control of his own soul.
"Hmph! I'm afraid your wish won't come true! "Hayashikawa sneered.
"No, my wish won't come true. If they can't kill you, I'm sure you won't let the Soul Refining School go. You have the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture. If you can obtain the inheritance of the Soul Refining School, you'll be invincible. You won't admit it, but one thing won't change. You'll be able to use the secret techniques of the Soul Refining School in the future. If the Soul Refining School can't become a supreme sect in the hands of one of our own, then it will become one in the hands of you. I'll wait for that day!"
The despair in Denglong's eyes was gone. In that moment, he felt a sense of relief. It was as if he could see his goal of developing the Soul Refining School finally come true.
Hayashikawa watched as the smile on Denglong's face slowly faded away.
"I have to say, your wish has come true. But the person who can make the Soul Refining School a success won't be one of your own!"
Hayashikawa said softly. He now had complete control over Denglong's soul and had completed his devouring. The power of the Mahākāśyapa Holy Scripture was fully displayed at this moment.
As Hayashikawa devoured Denglong's soul, he began to browse through Denglong's memories. The endless secret techniques of the Soul Refining School were revealed to him without hiding anything!
When he captured Zhang Jia of the Soul Refining School, Hayashikawa had wanted to forcefully search his soul. But he found that the Soul Refining School had placed a restriction in the depths of Zhang Jia's soul. Once triggered, his soul would be annihilated. So he had no choice but to give up! Denglong was one of the four Soulchildren of the Soul Refining School, so there was a restriction in his soul as well. But Hayashikawa wasn't trying to forcefully enter Denglong's soul. He was already Denglong's soul, so there were no restrictions on him.
The Soulbinding Chains, the Soulrefining Miasma, the Soulrefining Arts … all of the secret techniques of the Soul Refining School were presented to Hayashikawa one by one. As he read deeper, Hayashikawa began to understand why the Soul Refining School had entered the Floating Spirit Temple. He couldn't help but have a serious look on his face.
"The Soul Refining School … it's no wonder they're a second-class power in the Nakagawa. To think they'd put in so much effort into the Floating Spirit Temple!"
