Facing Death (Part 1)
Darth Malthael was jolted. Even with his current cultivation and power, this outcome left him utterly horrified!
The connection between himself and Darth Venamis had actually been severed!!
Ever since he had awakened the Death Force, such a thing had never happened! Darth Venamis had been resurrected by him and forcibly stuffed into Darth Tenebrus's corpse.
Being resurrected by Darth Malthael meant that, through the Death Force, a mark of enslavement was established upon the soul. It was a fate of control from which there was no escape.
Yet this time, Darth Tenebrus had actually been able to sever the connection between him and Darth Venamis! From another perspective, it was equivalent to breaking Darth Malthael's Death Force!
And at the instant the connection was cut, Darth Malthael saw that Darth Venamis, standing across from him, had changed!
His eyes had become murky, bloodthirsty, chaotic, and twisted... His already utterly decayed body now began to tremble violently!
Proto-Body! Darth Malthael finally understood what Darth Tenebrus had meant just now!
As the only Sith Lord in the entire Milky Way Galaxy, ancient or modern, to have conducted systematic research into Proto-Body, Darth Tenebrus had clearly hidden things Malthael did not know about.
Proto-Body was indeed an extraordinarily wondrous thing. Unlike Chlamydiae, which were commonly believed to resonate with the Force within all things, Proto-Body did not exist under normal circumstances. It had to be produced through Darth Tenebrus's power. In a sense, it was practically one of his unique abilities.
Chlamydiae dispersed with the death of life, but Proto-Body did not. It could even carry a portion of a being's life force, or even its soul.
Thus, Proto-Body was the key to Essence Transfer. It was also the only known method capable of directly transferring a soul
