The bone snake floating in mid-air had no eyes, but when Jiang Jie looked at its eye sockets, he seemed to see pupils.
Then he "saw" Hakkar, the real Hakkar!
What he saw was Hakkar's soul, a soul like the Wind Serpent, yet multicolored, with a pair of triangular eyes staring at Jiang Jie with an incomparably cold gaze, making Jiang Jie feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, his whole body feeling as if it were soaked in ice water, a coldness that came from the very soul.
This is the gaze of an evil god!
Although it was just a small avatar before him, the one staring at Jiang Jie was probably the real Hakkar, its gaze projected from another dimension, carrying the will of an evil god.
Jiang Jie sensed the pressure of Demigod; the soul pressure of this Soulflayer Hakkar was in no way inferior to Cenarius's. It was indeed an ancient evil god!
Some legends suggest that Hakkar is also an ancient Wild God, albeit an evil one. Some even believe that Hakkar was corrupted by the Emerald Nightmare long ago, which is why he became so evil, and that's why the Emerald Nightmare appears at the Temple of Atal'Hakkar.
The guy who can enslave such a vast Troll Empire is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Jiang Jie had a strange feeling, as if dozens of snakes were coiling around his body. The slippery, cold sensation made his whole body numb and gave him goosebumps. There was even a snake wrapped around his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.
He felt as if he had fallen into a snake pit!
"Hmph! Those underhanded tricks and petty schemes are nothing but trifles. Get out of here!"
Jiang Jie let out a cold snort, and the Black Tortoise Longevity Art was activated wildly. A phantom of Black Tortoise emerged from his body, growing larger and larger until it was more than three meters tall, enveloping Jiang Jie.
Black Tortoise remained unmoved, seemingly uninterested in the Soulflayer before him. However, under the protection of this divine beast's aura, Jiang Jie instantly felt relaxed, and the feeling of being entangled by a hundred snakes was gone.
"Huh? A noble deity? Looks a bit like Tortolla? No, not powerful enough. Could it be a projection of a god from another dimension? Tsk tsk, you can't protect him!"
Hakkar launched an attack on Jiang Jie!
But how strong can the attack of a bone snake be?
Hakkar's greatest strength remains its soul. Its physical body, however, is even inferior to the smallest Frost Wyrm. After a few light sword strikes from Jiang Jie, its shattered bones scattered all over the ground.
" Soulflayer is so weak?" Jiang Jie shook his head slightly, somewhat disappointed, then looked at the scattered bones on the ground, lost in thought.
On the other side, the Atal'ai Troll also witnessed this scene, and they all cried out in disbelief that their god was so easily defeated!
" Soulflayer, My God!" (First published online)
I have given you my heart and soul!
Their minds were struck hard, their reaction and spellcasting abilities declined, and they were quickly wiped out by Fireball and Arcane Missiles, and the entire Sanctum of the Fallen God returned to peace.
Just then, Hakkar's shattered bones suddenly floated up and actually reformed right in front of Jiang Jie!
Seeing this, Jiang Jie was not surprised but laughed instead:
"As expected, it's not that simple... That's right, that makes it more interesting. If you were really that weak, why would I bother visiting you in Gurubashi another day?"
In less than ten seconds, Hakkar's avatar was fully reconstructed.
Just as Anveena was about to unleash a spell, Jiang Jie raised his hand and waved it to stop her.
Suddenly, Hakkar's avatar opened its mouth wide, facing the sky, as if inhaling. The blood-smelling air in the hall was swept up by a storm, accompanied by mournful howls. Pale purple light was torn apart in the swirling air and swallowed into the Wind Serpent's mouth.
At this moment, even a mortal here could see one illusory figure after another appearing, including Troll and Wind Serpent.
Hakkar is known as the " Soulflayer " and the " Blood God " because it devours souls and flesh.
The souls of the dead Atal'ai Troll Wind Serpent were summoned by Hakkar's power and then devoured to restore Hakkar's strength.
And those Troll Wind Serpent that had just been killed,
Their bodies were also rapidly withering, and wisps of bloody vapor permeated the air, thick and nauseating, before being swallowed by Hakkar. The purple storm made it difficult to approach, but Jiang Jie was clearly not among them, and even a more powerful storm could not stop him.
But for some reason, he didn't approach, nor did he stop it.
When the storm finally subsided, Hakkar's avatar possessed even greater power!
"Mortal, allowing me to devour souls and flesh was your greatest mistake! I can sense your power, but your pride has ruined you!"
Hakkar opened his mouth, and a strange, pulling force tore at Jiang Jie's soul. The power of Soulflayer is not only to devour the souls of the dead, but also to directly plunder the souls of the living; this is the origin of the title " Soulflayer."
However, a martial artist tempers both body and soul. Having cultivated to this level, Jiang Jie's soul is now inextricably linked to his body, its strength even comparable to the Holy Temple Bishop of Stromgarde. Though not quite as powerful as Hakkar, how could Hakkar easily take it away?
Unmoved by the storm, Jiang Jie leaned on his divine sword with both hands, a cold smile playing on his lips.
" Hakkar, Soulflayer, Blood God. Do you know why I've allowed you to devour souls and flesh, growing stronger? Because there's someone who keeps whispering in my ear that he wants to devour your soul. I thought, if he wants to devour, then let him devour an even stronger version of you, what do you say, Hakkar?"
The divine sword shone with a purple-blue light, and a Shadow Phoenix appeared, growing rapidly in the wind. In an instant, it grew from the size of a palm to more than ten meters long, looking even more majestic and enormous than Hakkar.
The spiritual pressure emanating from it was also stronger than that from Hakkar.
The Shadow Phoenix's soul power was even greater than that of Hakkar's avatar at this moment, and had already approached the High-tier Legendary level!
"A phoenix, nothing more than an ant!" Hakkar stared at Pyralis, and Pyralis responded with a disdainful hiss:
Ants? You're the ant, your whole family are ants!
Enraged, Pyralis flew toward Hakkar, engulfing the entire area in raging flames. The crackling sounds came from the burning bones of Hakkar's avatar, which would soon turn to ashes.
And this part of its power will become Pyralis's food, Pyralis even stronger!
" Soulflayer, experience what it's like to have your soul stolen! Pyralis, it's yours now! Come find me later!"
Jiang Jie sneered and turned to leave.
Itharius didn't know how much longer he could hold out. He had to go in, deal with Eranikus, obtain the " Dragon's Call," and then leave.
