Lin Che, Next Time We Meet, I Will Make Your Soul Scatter

Lin Che raised his head and looked toward the hurricane beyond the black tower. If he had guessed correctly, that voice from earlier belonged to the strongest demonic beast here—the beast king at Nascent Soul Transformation Grand Perfection.

"A mere demonic beast with Spirit Severing Stage cultivation dares to tell me to get out? You truly don't know whether you're dead or alive."

Lin Che's body slowly rose into the air, as light as a feather. Gazing at the hurricane formed by the demonic beasts before him, he said indifferently, "Not bad. Unfortunately, the Spirit Severing Stage is still far too weak before me."

As Lin Che's voice fell, a colossal demonic beast hundreds of zhang tall suddenly appeared within the hurricane.

The Hurricane Beast King was enormous, with gigantic bat-like wings covered in patterns. When spread open, they exuded a terrifying presence.

Several twisted, curved horns grew from its head, sharp and marked by unique patterns. Its face resembled a skull, while its red eye sockets and gaping maw radiated a sinister aura.

Its body was rough and its muscles sharply defined. Its claws were pointed and razor-sharp, and its entire form was immensely intimidating, filled with evil and terror.

"A beast king at Nascent Soul Transformation Grand Perfection? My heavens, I never expected there to be a demonic beast of such a realm here. Master, hurry and subdue it. Make it my little brother."

Lin Che glanced at Xu Liguo within the black tower before turning his gaze back to the Hurricane Beast King. After pondering for a moment, he murmured to himself:

"Subduing it would indeed be a good choice. There are quite a number of these beasts. They may prove useful in the future."

The Hurricane Beast King glared at Lin Che with eyes as large as bells, then launched an attack. Deafening sound waves swept over, sending ripples through the void.

Lin Che slightly moved his finger, and every sound wave before him shattered. "It truly is a rather decent demonic beast. If it can break through to become a Desolate Beast in the future, its accomplishments will certainly be limitless."

With that thought, Lin Che instantly appeared above the Hurricane Beast King's head. He raised his right foot and lightly touched the beast king's head.

In an instant, an immense aura surged forth. An unimaginable pressure descended, slamming the beast king's body to the ground. It was as though a mountain range weighed upon it, leaving it unable to move even an inch. It did not even have the strength to raise its head.

"Y-you are... a Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivator."

Lin Che placed one hand behind his back and said coldly, "I will give you one chance. Become my fiend, or I will kill you here and take your inner core."

The Hurricane Beast King trembled all over, a trace of fear appearing in its eyes. It immediately said, "You slaughtered countless members of my clan. You want me to surrender to you—don't you think that's utterly ridiculous?!"

"Since you refuse, then you may die."

Just as Lin Che was about to kill the beast king before him, the Hurricane Beast King lying on the ground immediately roared, "I surrender! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"I am willing to become your fiend!"

It had cultivated here for an unknown number of years and had reached Spirit Severing Stage Grand Perfection. It was only one step away from breaking through into the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, so naturally, it did not wish to die here without rhyme or reason.

Lin Che nodded with a smile, withdrew his outstretched hand, and landed steadily on the ground.

The Hurricane Beast King panted heavily, a cold killing intent flashing through its eyes. Yet after seeing Lin Che's pale red eyes, its earlier rage completely vanished.

Lin Che held his hands before his chest, touching his index fingers and thumbs together to form a diamond-shaped seal. Then he chanted softly, "Appear!"

As Lin Che's voice fell, several blood-red banners appeared around the Hurricane Beast King. Under Lin Che's control, each banner shot out an iron chain as thick as a wrist, firmly binding the beast king.

Seeing their ancestor captured, the beasts within the surrounding hurricane instantly saw red. They charged at Lin Che like mad, seeking to rescue their ancestor.

"Annoying."

Looking at the swarm of vile beasts rushing toward him, Lin Che fired a blood-red crystal from between his brows. It darted through the air like a streak of light, then suddenly crashed into the center of the hurricane.

In almost an instant, the red crystal had finished darting through the hurricane. Countless demonic beast corpses dropped straight from the hurricane and smashed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Seeing countless members of its clan dead or injured, the Hurricane Beast King stared wide-eyed and hurriedly begged, "Master, don't kill my clansmen. I am willing to surrender unconditionally."

Lin Che snorted and said expressionlessly, "Tell them not to act rashly. Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

The Hurricane Beast King nodded repeatedly and immediately released a special wave of energy, stopping those lesser beasts from charging here to their deaths without restraint.

Lin Che sat on the ground and formed hand seals. A blood-red sphere of light sprang from his fingertips and entered the beast king's glabella.

The Hurricane Beast King did not resist, allowing the energy to merge into its body. It thus completely transformed into Lin Che's personal fiend.

As a Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivator, Lin Che could easily control a demonic beast at Nascent Soul Transformation Grand Perfection. He had also taken the other party's soul blood; if he wished, he could kill it here in an instant.

The Hurricane Beast King transformed into the form of an ordinary human and bowed to Lin Che. "Greetings, Master."

Xu Liguo flew over at this moment and immediately shouted, "Listen carefully. From now on, I'm the boss here. You have to call me Big Brother too, or I'll have Master beat you up."

"I was Master's first fiend. By seniority, I'm your big brother. Do you hear me?"

Lin Che slightly turned his head and looked at Xu Liguo, who was throwing his weight around under another's protection. He slowly said, "Xu Liguo."

Xu Liguo shuddered, immediately bent low, hugged Lin Che's thigh, and said with a fawning grin, "Master, hehe, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."

Lin Che withdrew his gaze, turned toward the distant exit, and said indifferently, "Let's go."

Ancient God's Land, Demon God Blood Sea.

Blood-red mist blanketed the area. Mountains of bones were scattered throughout the Blood Sea, and countless demonic beast skeletons had been carved into buildings and placed all around, creating an extremely gloomy atmosphere.

"After all these years, no one has ever escaped from my grasp. Yet that brat Lin Che managed to do it. It truly irritates me."

Atop a strange mountain sat a handsome man in a red robe, with blood-red hair and a body overflowing with baleful aura.

The red-haired man crushed the crystal in his hand and smiled eerily. "Lin Che, next time we meet, I will make your soul scatter!"
