With a thought, Ling Dong suddenly conjured a giant Spirit hand and grabbed You Qianjun's extremely weak Spirit. Above his head, a terrifying golden brilliance shot out, exuding a chilling aura that wrapped around You Qianjun's Spirit!
The moment he felt that chilling aura, You Qianjun recognized what Ling Dong was going to do to him, and his expression became extremely frightened!
"I said, no …"
However, it was too late, everything was too late.
The golden Spirit power that shot out from Ling Dong's head was like a sieve, sifting through You Qianjun's remnant Spirit. The golden Spirit power began to wrap around You Qianjun's Spirit, twisting and churning!
"Soul Search!" Ling Dong's upper and lower lips touched, spitting out two words that scared You Qianjun out of his wits. It also confirmed You Qianjun's judgment that Ling Dong was going to use the Soul Search Technique on him!
While screaming, You Qianjun could not help but admire Ling Dong's courage.
The Soul Search Technique was a very insidious technique, and there were many taboos. For example, Ling Dong's current situation of using the Soul Search Technique on You Qianjun was extremely taboo for most martial artists!
Under normal circumstances, the Soul Search Technique was used by martial artists with high Spirit cultivation on martial artists with low Spirit cultivation. That way, the most memories could be searched, and very few would be lost. The greater the gap in Spirit cultivation between the two, the higher the rate of the Soul Search Technique, and the smaller the chance of backlash!
However, it was very taboo for martial artists with low Spirit cultivation to use the Soul Search Technique on martial artists with high Spirit cultivation. Generally, very few martial artists dared to do so, because if they were not careful, the one who used the Soul Search Technique would suffer a backlash, and their Spirit Source would be greatly damaged. If it was serious, it could even confuse the memory of the one who used the Soul Search Technique.
Therefore, in most cases, it was a cultivator with a higher Divine Soul cultivation that used the Soul Searching Technique on a cultivator with a lower Divine Soul cultivation. Moreover, if the gap between the two was small, no one dared to use the Soul Searching Technique for fear of the backlash!
As for martial artists with lower Divine Soul cultivations using Soul Searching Techniques on martial artists with higher Divine Soul cultivations, this was basically impossible. Even if there were a few bold ones, they would suffer a backlash due to the massive difference in Divine Soul cultivations.
It was also because of this that You Qianjun had predicted that Ling Dong would not dare to use the Soul Searching Technique on him. But You Qianjun did not expect that Ling Dong would be so bold.
Even if his Divine Soul was severely injured and abnormally weak, the chances of Ling Dong successfully using the Soul Searching Technique were not high. You Qianjun was even certain that Ling Dong would suffer a backlash from using the Soul Searching Technique.
However, there was one thing that made You Qianjun very afraid. Even if Ling Dong suffered a backlash from using the Soul Searching Technique, as the target of the technique, he would definitely suffer several times more damage than Ling Dong. If something went wrong, his soul might even be destroyed!
However, when Ling Dong shouted the two words' Soul Search ', You Qianjun had no time to think about this. The sharp pain that came from the depths of his Divine Soul made him scream miserably!
You Qianjun's weak red Divine Soul, which was wrapped by Ling Dong's golden Divine Soul, suddenly had traces of red light extracted from it and floated towards Ling Dong's head. In an instant, they entered Ling Dong's head and disappeared.
Every time a trace of red light was extracted, You Qianjun would scream miserably like a ghost crying. The pain caused by the Soul Searching Technique was directly inflicted on the Divine Soul. Even if You Qianjun was an expert in the Kui Star Realm, he could not avoid the pain that came from the depths of his Divine Soul.
As strands of scarlet light were extracted, You Qianjun's scarlet Spirit became increasingly tattered. Ling Dong's brows furrowed slightly as a trace of joy flashed across his face at times, while a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
If You Qianjun could see Ling Dong's expression at this moment, and see the continuous extraction of red light, You Qianjun's eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets from shock.
Because the continuous extraction of red light, Ling Dong did not show any abnormalities. This was a sign that the Soul Searching Technique was successful, and there was no backlash.
The Soul Searching Technique was a very unique Soul Secret Technique. If one did not suffer a backlash at the beginning, the chances of suffering a backlash would become smaller and smaller. Moreover, the longer the Soul Searching Technique lasted, the smaller the chances of suffering a backlash would be.
But now, Ling Dong had been extracting You Qianjun's Soul Searching Technique for several minutes, so the chances of a backlash were infinitesimally small.
A quarter of an hour later, when You Qianjun's Soul was suddenly extracted from over a dozen specks of scarlet light, You Qianjun's damaged Soul suddenly turned into countless specks of pure scarlet energy that dissipated into the air.
At the last moment before it dissipated, the crimson energy suddenly formed an illusory figure. That illusory figure looked like You Qianjun at a glance.
At this moment, You Qianjun was staring at Ling Dong in horror, as if he was surprised to see Ling Dong unharmed. At the last moment, when the red light dots that formed You Qianjun's Divine Soul dissipated into the air like shooting stars, You Qianjun's expression suddenly became incomparably venomous!
"Ling Dong, there will be a day when my Dongluo Sect will turn you into ashes. The entire Ling family, the entire Ling clan, will turn into …" Before he could finish his malicious curse, the last shred of You Qianjun's Divine Soul turned into the purest of energy and dissipated into the air, leaving behind countless regrets and astonishment. He disappeared from this world forever!
Even when his Divine Soul completely dissipated, You Qianjun still couldn't understand how Ling Dong had been so lucky to use the Soul Searching Technique on a powerful being whose Divine Soul was an entire level higher than his own without suffering a backlash.
However, what You Qianjun didn't know was that when Ling Dong had used the Soul Searching Technique at the beginning, he had been completely confident that the backlash from using the Soul Searching Technique would be so small that it was negligible!
Ling Dong wasn't the kind of person who relied on luck for everything. It was fine if he relied on luck once, but not twice or thrice. Luck wasn't something that would stand by your side forever.
Ling Dong had carefully thought about using the Soul Searching Technique on You Qianjun.
Under normal circumstances, when Ling Dong used the Soul Searching Technique on You Qianjun, even if You Qianjun's Divine Soul was severely damaged, the chances of a backlash from Ling Dong, whose Divine Soul was only at the Golden Soul Realm, against You Qianjun, whose Divine Soul was at the Scarlet Soul Realm, was as high as sixty to seventy percent!
With a sixty to seventy percent chance of a backlash, even Ling Dong didn't dare to take the risk. Damage to the Divine Soul wasn't like damage to the physical body, which would eventually recover. Sometimes, damage to the Divine Soul was extremely difficult to recover from.
However, Ling Dong had the Star Master Plate, and the seven-coloured divine light from the Star Master Plate could greatly increase the power of Ling Dong's Divine Soul Secret Technique.
In this regard, Ling Dong's seven-coloured divine saber was an example.
Originally, under normal circumstances, the saber light emitted by the Golden Soul Realm's Divine Soul couldn't even scratch the Divine Soul of a Scarlet Soul Realm's Divine Soul, let alone injure it. However, with the seven-coloured starlight from the Star Master Plate, Ling Dong's Divine Soul Realm Divine Soul Realm's Divine Soul Realm Divine Soul Realm's Divine Soul Realm Divine Soul Realm was able to injure You Qianjun's Divine Soul Realm Divine Soul.
From this point, Ling Dong could judge that the seven-coloured starlight from the Star Master Plate had a magical power. Although Ling Dong didn't know how much of an effect the seven-coloured starlight from the Star Master Plate would have on the Divine Soul Secret Technique, Ling Dong was sure that the Divine Soul Secret Technique from the Golden Soul Realm, under the enhancement of a large amount of seven-coloured starlight, would definitely be stronger than the Divine Soul of a Scarlet Soul Realm Divine Soul.
Moreover, there was also the problem of the amount of seven-coloured starlight from the Star Master Plate.
Before using the Soul Searching Technique, Ling Dong deliberately urged the Star Master Plate to merge a large amount of seven-coloured starlight into the Soul Searching Technique, which resulted in the current situation.
Of course, it was also a bit risky!
However, this risk had to be taken! Killing a Celestial Official who was appointed by the upper realm's Wood Puppet Realm and recognized by the Vermillion Bird Star Domain, the terrifying consequences were unimaginable to Ling Dong.
Perhaps it was possible to slaughter the entire Tian Gang Continent. Not to mention slaughtering Ling Dong and everyone related to Ling Dong.
It could be said that Ling Dong was gambling at this moment. He was gambling that he could find a way to resolve or delay this disaster after using the Soul Searching Technique.
Moreover, Ling Dong had no other choice! If he let this Celestial Official You Qianjun go, even without thinking, once You Qianjun recovered, he would immediately kill Ling Dong, including everyone related to Ling Dong. If it was Ling Dong, he would definitely do the same!
The moment You Qianjun was about to kill Ling Dong, Ling Dong had no way out. He could only face the danger and open up a path!
When You Qianjun's scarlet soul completely dissipated, Ling Dong's golden soul power also withdrew. Then Ling Dong stood in the air, closed his eyes, and didn't move for a long time.
Ling Dong's Soul Searching Technique was very successful this time. With the help of Ling Dong's Star Master Plate and the fact that You Qianjun's soul was almost destroyed by Ling Dong, the Soul Searching Technique was very successful.
Ling Dong obtained a large amount of information that Ling Dong needed. However, like most of the disadvantages of the Soul Searching Technique, Ling Dong did not obtain all of the target's memories. Ling Dong estimated that he had obtained about 50% of You Qianjun's memories.
The other 40% was lost. However, Ling Dong was glad that Ling Dong had obtained most of the memories that he needed through the Soul Searching Technique.
For example, the scroll that You Qianjun had used to identify Ling Dong had been obtained through the Soul Searching Technique. Ling Dong had obtained it.
The scroll had been given to him by the Sect Master of the Dongluo Sect, where You Qianjun belonged. At the same time, there was also an order. "If you see the person depicted on the scroll, kill him immediately and bring his corpse back to the sect. You will be rewarded handsomely!"
What shocked Ling Dong the most was that the scroll with You Qianjun's portrait on it wasn't just given to You Qianjun. Many disciples of the Dongluo Sect who were out adventuring or Celestial Officials had received the scroll and the order!
"When did I offend the Sect Master of the Dongluo Sect?" Ling Dong was very puzzled.
However, he had only obtained 50% of the memories from You Qianjun's soul. He had lost almost half of them, so there was no information about this!
After that, Ling Dong stood in the air for almost an entire night. It wasn't until the dawn of the day that Ling Dong woke up.
50% of the memories of a Celestial Realm martial artist were enormous. That night, Ling Dong had been combing through the sea of memories he had obtained from You Qianjun. However, even after combing through them, Ling Dong still felt dizzy!
The Soul Searching Technique had many side effects!
At this moment, Ling Yun flipped his hand and took out the purple-red token that You Qianjun had taken out several times in times of crisis. Then, he carefully looked at it.
After a while, Ling Dong murmured, "Is this the Celestial Spirit Token that only Celestial Officials have?"
