Chapter 358: Powerful Soul, Almost Dead

Leoux was quietly suspended in the space above the metal planet, while thousands of space shuttles released a large gravitational net to enclose the metal planet.


The net was impenetrable, not even by signals. Ling Jiu teleported himself into the Leoux.


“You’re back, Ling Jiu,” Leoux said with a sense of awe in its voice. “The pinnacle of super-clustered being—not half bad at all! It’s an amazing improvement.”


“Of course. I didn’t sit idly over the last one hundred years.” Ling Jiu broke into a gentle smile. “When shall we do it?”


“Since you’re here, let’s do it now,” Leoux replied without hesitation. “But before that, I have to warn you…”


“I’m all ears.”


It was Leoux’s first time being so serious, and Ling Jiu could not help be serious too.


“Firstly, the strength of the Evogod’s soul has reached the pinnacle of a perfect three-dimensional life form. It is extremely powerful. Once it launches a soul attack, it can certainly destroy and blast your soul into pieces in an instant,” Leoux said in a solemn voice. “So, you must play safe and not go outside the Leoux’s protection zone. Otherwise, you could put yourself in grave danger. Do you understand?”


“I get it.” Ling Jiu nodded vigorously.


The stronger the being, the bigger the gap.


Planetary and stellar beings…


Stellar and galactic beings…


Galactic and super-clustered beings…


The gap increased exponentially with each higher level.


The gap between a perfect three-dimensional being and a super-clustered being was much larger than the gap between a stellar being and a planetary being.


Therefore, although he was at the pinnacle of a super-clustered being, the gap between him and a perfect three-dimensional being was light-years apart.


He was like a vulnerable newborn baby in front of the perfect three-dimensional Evogod.


A simple soul attack from the Evogod would likely render Ling Jiu dumb and possibly dead. How could Ling Jiu not be careful?


“Secondly, this metal planet is essentially a heavily armed fortress. Touch nothing when you are on it. You could unwittingly trigger its defensive system like the gravity bomb. You will be done for if that happens.


“Thirdly, once you are on the planet, say nothing. Leave everything to me. Capture or even kill them and ask questions later.”


“I get it.”


“Let’s go, then.”


Leoux faded into a stream of light and disappeared into Ling Jiu’s wrist.


After that, streams of black light shot out from his wrist, forming a layer that was similar to the Venom Suit. It covered his body to ensure his safety.


Ling Jiu took a deep breath and teleported himself to the metal planet.


The metal planet was entirely made of metal, with a metal surface and metal mantle.


Ling Jiu went all the way down, and ten minutes later, a massive space came into view.


It did not surprise him at all. Knowing that the planet was essentially a spaceship, it could not possibly have a solid core.


The interior was as bright as day.


In other words, the space was like a brightly lit underground laboratory.


There were bridges and corridors extending in all directions and running through the entire space.


Robots were traversing on these bridges in an orderly manner as they each carried out their respective tasks.


“How many robots are here?”


Ling Jiu was secretly shocked. The spherical space was at least over a thousand kilometers in diameter.


How many robots were there since there were numerous robots on each bridge and the many bridges crisscrossed in such a massive space?


Innumerable.


Robots of different shapes and sizes filled the entire space, all working monotonously like string puppets.


“Where is the Evogod, Leoux?”


Ling Jiu swept his eyes across the place, searching the bridges, corridors, and robots. It puzzled him that he could find no trace of the Evogod.


The Evogods were soul beings.


They did not give out the slightest sign of life. It was impossible to spot them using ordinary methods.


Besides, the soul of this Evogod was much stronger than his. So if this Evogod was deliberately concealing its aura, there was nothing that Ling Jiu could do about it.


“See the pillar at the center?”


Leoux’s voice resounded in Ling Jiu’s mind. He looked around and saw a pillar standing in the middle of the space.


The pillar was transparent, and it looked like it was made of glass. There was a massive amount of silvery ion current flowing inside, reminiscent of a water pipe.


It stood at the center of the space at hundreds of kilometers long and dozens of kilometers wide, as though it was the pillar that supported the entire space.


All bridges and corridors connected to this pillar, as the primary structure radiated in all directions. It was apparent that the pillar was the core structure there.


“Is the Evogod in this pillar?” Ling Jiu was surprised.


“This pillar is the control core, or rather, the planet’s control center. The Evogod’s soul lives there,” Leoux explained. “Do you see the silvery ion current? That is actually the Evogod’s soul flow. The Evogod controls the entire planet with this pillar. Let’s check it out.”


“Okay.”


Ling Jiu nodded gently. He took a step and arrived before the pillar at once.


As soon as he approached it, a powerful torrent of spirit hit him while an icy consciousness appeared in his mind.


“Invader, how dare you come here!”


The next moment, a burst of powerful spiritual torrent hit Ling Jiu’s sea of consciousness, assaulting his soul. It was as if it would crush Ling Jiu’s soul into pieces.


“So… scary!” Ling Jiu trembled in fear.


At that moment, he started to realize how powerful the Evogod’s soul was. It was like the sun was lying in front of him and emitting endless light as well as heat. It seemed as though it was going to burn everything to ashes.


Meanwhile, Ling Jiu was like an ant near the sun. As soon as he got closer, the sun would burn him to ashes, and he would have no chance to escape.


“Is this the soul of the most powerful, perfect three-dimensional being?”


Ling Jiu started to suffocate, and his consciousness seemed to be frozen. “The gap between us is too huge. I can’t even do anything if it wants to kill me.”


Just as the spiritual torrent poured into Ling Jiu’s sea of consciousness and was about to assault Ling his soul, it suddenly stopped.


It had come to a standstill.


Ling Jiu saw a layer of black substance, almost like a Venom Suit, appear on the surface of the flooding spiritual torrent.


It enveloped the spiritual torrent, preventing it from going further before dragging it out from Ling Jiu’s sea of consciousness bit by bit.


At last, the spiritual torrent was dragged out of Ling Jiu’s sea of consciousness completely. As the powerful soul pressure disappeared, Ling Jiu panted heavily and almost slumped to the ground.


He was breaking out in a cold sweat because he had thought that he would die earlier.


Those feelings of suffocation, helplessness, and pressure were unprecedented.


Ling Jiu looked up and saw a layer of light, which was as black as a tadpole, covering the pillar.


He instantly knew that Leoux had struck.


“Leoux, you saved my life. Without you, I would have been dead.” Ling Jiu gasped for air, fear still lingering inside him.


“I knew that this would happen, but I still underestimated the Evogod’s speed. You would have died had I been a second slower.” Leoux shook its head. “The gap between your soul and the Evogod’s is too big. But it doesn’t matter now. It got him. Next, I will shred it into soul fragments to help you expand your Soul Nebula.”


“You’re right. Since its soul is so powerful, absorbing it would expand my Soul Nebula tremendously.”


Ling Jiu’s eyes shimmered. It did not matter how dangerous it had been just now. The most important thing was that he had nabbed the Evogod.


“Soul Nebula! There is a Soul Nebula in your sea of consciousness! Who are you, really? Why do you have a Soul Nebula in your sea of consciousness?”


The silvery ion current in the pillar turned into a strange big face.


It had three eyes, a pair of small wings on both sides of its face, and three more tentacles under its mouth, which made it look incredibly weird.


It stared at Ling Jiu and questioned him.


Its torrent of consciousness had been dragged out, but it had discovered the Soul Nebula in his sea of consciousness.


His Seoul Nebula was so massive that it was hard to miss.


It was as excited as it was shocked.


The Evogods had been extinct. It had not seen any other Evogod for a long time, let alone the Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution.


It did not expect to see one there today.


How could it not feel excited?


“It doesn’t matter who I am. One thing is certain: I am not an Evogod.”


Ling Jiu went up to the pillar and looked at the big face in the eye. “So, there is no need to get so excited.”


“You are not an Evogod? Then where does the Soul Nebula in your mind come from?” The big face roared angrily. “You killed an Evogod and stole the cultivation method, the Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution from its memory, didn’t you? I knew it! It must be so! You d*mn robber! How dare you kill our people! I will kill you today!”


A powerful soul wave hit the pillar, as the big face was enraged. It assaulted the black light on the pillar and tried to unleash a soul attack.


It was a shame that the black light that covered the pillar was extremely tough, and it would not budge in the slightest, no matter how hard the big face tried.


“Don’t waste your energy. This is the Net of the Laws. You can’t break it.” Leoux came out of Ling Jiu’s wrist and spoke in an icy voice.


“Cut the crap and capture it.” Ling Jiu waved his hand. “Let me know when you find any useful information in its memory.”


“No problem,” Leoux replied. The black light that covered the pillar then started to shrink.


As the light shrank, so did the pillar. The Evogod roared and struggled as it was drawn into Ling Jiu’s wrist and then the Leoux.


“What should we do with this place, Leoux?” Ling Jiu asked, pointing at the metal planet.


“The science and technology mastered by the Evogods were of a Grand Unified Civilization. It is quite comprehensive and might be of great use to humans.”


“Let’s take it along, then.”
