Before me stood a Wind Serpent, its entire body a vibrant red.
Yes, the Wind Serpent, just like " Soulflayer " Hakkar, is Wind Serpent.
However, there are some differences between the two types of Wind Serpent.
At the very least, this Wind Serpent in front of us is far less colorful and incomparably beautiful than Hakkar.
It's not surprising that there are similar creatures in the universe, such as sandworms and Wind Serpent.
This Wind Serpent was enormous, even larger than Anzu, the Raven God in his complete form.
It is also at the Demigod level.
This is a being with Demigod- level soul. His spiritual power merged with Anzu's, becoming one with it, and together they formed this spiritual world.
Anzu lacked the capacity to appear in order to maintain the existence of the spiritual world, but it could.
Without a doubt, it is Sethe, the Wind Serpent God.
The Wind Serpent God was devoured by Anzu.
Demigod are hard to kill, and so is Sethe.
It is said that the Sun God Rukhmar did not truly die, but rather merged with the sun.
Sethe's curse is actually meant to drag Anzu into the shadows and make him one with them.
Once fully immersed in the Shadow, Sethe, who controls the Shadow, might gain the upper hand, completely defeat Anzu, and then be resurrected.
So that's how it is.
But now, Jiang Jie has arrived.
His soul floated before the soul of Sethe.
"Young soul, are you here to die?"
Sethe's voice was somber and cold.
The strange soul before it was not as powerful as it, but it sensed danger from it.
It's as dangerous as Anzu was many years ago.
If it is killed here, then it is truly dead and will be directly devoured by Anzu, fulfilling Anzu!
"Going to your death? I truly don't know where you get the courage to say that. Your mental power is completely controlled by Anzu, and although your soul is powerful, you can't mobilize much Shadow energy. But I can!"
Jiang Jie transformed, regaining his human soul.
He raised his hand, and shadows appeared.
A dark dagger appeared in his hand.
Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire.
As he looked at the rolling eyeball on the dagger's hilt, Sethe felt a tremor run through his body.
He felt fear!
That eyeball seemed far more terrifying than anything else.
It could even sense that the owner of that eyeball was a being far superior to itself, wielding shadow power countless times stronger than itself.
This existence made it realize the possibility of death.
It can be killed by this dagger!
"You've been tricked! If you kill me, Anzu will completely devour my soul, then kill you, devour your soul, devour your body!"
Sethe's voice was sharp and cold. "It has always been the most cunning! Young soul, you've been tricked! Join me in killing Anzu, that's what you should be doing! I promise you, you'll get half of Anzu's soul! Devour its soul, and you'll possess Demigod- level soul, you'll become Demigod!"
"I don't need you to tell me what I should do. I know what kind of person Anzu is. As for devouring souls? Anzu has tried for tens of thousands of years and still couldn't devour you. Do you think I don't know the side effects of devouring souls?"
Jiang Jie raised his hand and drew closer.
Soul level?
The Old Gods were the true masters.
The Old Gods were most adept at bewitching people's hearts, possessing unimaginable power on the level of the soul and spirit.
The Dark Dagger is not only the bane of all shadow creatures, but also the bane of all souls.
Sethe screamed, struggled, and dodged.
This was the purest battle of souls; Jiang Jie should not have been a match for Sethe.
But with Xal'atath, everything changes.
Amidst the piercing screams, Xal'atath's true form, a dagger, trembled slightly, emitting a pleasurable sound.
Of course it's happy!
It is devouring Sethe's soul.
Jiang Jie dared not devour Sethe's soul, because it was difficult to digest and absorb, and he was easily influenced by Sethe.
There's even the danger of being affected by the curse of Sethe and eventually becoming Sethe. But Xal'atath has nothing to worry about.
Beings of Sethe's caliber are not qualified to curse it.
So it devoured Sethe's soul without any hesitation.
Each time the dagger pierces Sethe's soul, it takes away a portion of its soul power.
At the same time, it will also take away a portion of the shadow power within Anzu's body.
This dagger is also absorbing Anzu's Shadow energy.
Sethe has his Sethe ideas, Anzu has his Anzu ideas.
No one knew whether Anzu had any intention of discarding her after she had served her purpose, but Jiang Jie didn't care at all.
Because he never intended to give Anzu the chance to discard her after she had served her purpose.
The soul of Sethe?
He wants it!
The Shadow energy within Anzu?
He wants it too!
Since Jiang Jie obtained the fragments of Naruture and fully activated them, the Holy Light has become the sole dominant force, and the balance among the three powers has been disrupted.
The Maw of the Damned has devoured the flesh and souls of all the Orcs and demons in the Shadow Labyrinth and is currently digesting them.
Once digested, the Fel will grow stronger and may be able to contend with the Holy Light.
But not with shadows.
Now, Jiang Jie has given Xal'atath the opportunity to grow stronger.
Once the soul of Sethe and the Shadow energy of Anzu are absorbed, the shadow will surely be able to contend with the Holy Light and the Fel, restoring the balance of power among the Three Talents.
This was Jiang Jie's plan from the very beginning.
It has never changed.
That won't change.
Anzu was helpless.
It had no choice.
It never imagined that Jiang Jie would possess such a powerful weapon as " Xal'atath ".
In its spiritual world, this dagger could kill Sethe, and naturally it could also kill Anzu.
Therefore, Anzu no longer harbored any intention of discarding her after she had served her purpose.
Now, all it hopes is that Jiang Jie won't discard it after it has served its purpose!
Jiang Jie did not discard his usefulness after it was no longer needed.
In fact, after absorbing most of Sethe's soul and most of Anzu's Shadow energy, he put away Xal'atath and stopped absorbing from Xal'atath.
It wasn't because Jiang Jie was kind, but because he couldn't absorb any more.
He grasped the situation very accurately.
The shadows are currently in perfect balance with the Holy Light. Before he can further comprehend the mysteries of the balance between light and shadow, it is not advisable for him to continue absorbing shadows.
The Naaru's knowledge has been continuously opening up to him, but achieving true balance and transformation of light and shadow will take time; now is not the time.
Jiang Jie chuckled, looking at Sethe in front of him.
Sethe's soul had dwindled to a tiny fraction, smaller than Anzu's.
This version of Sethe is no longer sufficient to counter Anzu.
It won't be long before he's completely killed by Anzu, and then the curse will be purified.
Anzu will return to its original Anzu, only stronger than before.
Jiang Jie left Anzu's mental world.
"How long will it take you?" Jiang Jie asked.
"Ten days is enough!" Anzu said.
"Don't forget your promise; the Ethereal will contact you. Goodbye, Netherstorm!"
Jiang Jie flapped his wings and left.
He learned some of the mysteries of Demigod from Anzu's spiritual world, and now he needs to find a quiet place to contemplate them.
The art of light and shadow also requires further understanding.
