CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 26: UNDEAD SUMMONER

Soul Eater is an extremely perilous Dark Magic Technique; it involves powerful souls of the Dark Demon Clan directly devouring the souls of the weak, thereby achieving the dual control of both the body and soul.

Ya felt a cold and sticky touch extending from his throat into his viscera, and even deeper into his soul.

In nearly thirty years of living, he had never suffered as much as he did now.

An invisible breath of death tightly gripped his throat, leaving him unable to escape the increasingly intense sensation of death, no matter how he struggled.

The cold skull of Emperor Skeleton sneered ceaselessly in his consciousness. It opened its gap-toothed mouth pressing down on his head, attempting to drag his soul from the newly acquired body.

Their souls were like engaged in a life-and-death tug of war, neither willing to relent.

"Impossible, I am the King of Spies, Liao. Even in death, I absolutely cannot die such a humiliating death," Ya’s mind flashed through countless crises and escapes of his previous life.

A girl’s silvery laughter rang in his ear: "Liao, you are truly an Undying Golden Body, I can hardly imagine anyone that could kill you."

There is no one, no one between heaven and earth, who could easily make him submit, not even the heavens themselves.

A deep and furious roar erupted from Ya’s throat, sounding like a battle horn launching a surprise attack on the battlefield, tragic and sorrowful.

Ya abruptly leapt up from the ground, charging toward Emperor Skeleton, who was frozen in place due to his soul leaving his body, and together they rushed toward Death Lake.

If it was to be death, then he would ensure mutual destruction; nobody would have the advantage.

"Hehe, crazy lad," as Emperor Skeleton wandered within Ya’s body and realized his intention to harm his own skeletal body, he immediately tried to flee from Ya’s body back to his own.

Even though an Undying Dark Skull, if touched by the waters of Death Lake, the bones would rapidly age and become incredibly brittle.

"What? How can this lad possess such intense Dark Power? This Dark Power binds me tightly within this body, unable to leave," Emperor Skeleton discovered in horror.

"Boom--" Not allowing Emperor Skeleton any more time to think, Ya already crashed Emperor Skeleton’s bone body into Death Lake, the water splashing tens of feet high.

The red surface of the lake seemed to also be dyed with blood by the moonlight.

Upon touching the water, Emperor Skeleton’s originally luminescent jade bones began to discolor from white to red, the bone joints emitting a tearing and creaking noise, rapidly disassembling.

"Hehe, dying lad, you have destroyed my precious bones. I will devour you alive," Emperor Skeleton’s soul let out an extremely furious roar, producing a blazing Demon Light within Ya’s body like fire.

This was Emperor Skeleton’s Ultimate Profound Skill, Devouring Demon Light. In the face of Devouring Demon Light, the souls of Middle and Low-level Dark Beasts would all be incinerated to ashes, and soulless Ya would be like a walking corpse, utterly unconscious, thoroughly becoming a puppet.

Emperor Skeleton was enraged beyond measure,

Soaked by the waters of Death Lake, Ya felt his skin rapidly aging, becoming wrinkly, his limbs’ muscles also quickly slackening, and with the intense soul devouring light from Emperor Skeleton within him, he felt as though he was a speck of dust before the sun, about to be scorched into barren earth.

Even though submerged in water, he felt intense heat, with thirst following closely, as if they were about to torturously kill him.

In his struggle, he reached for the smooth bottle Yue Jinghua gave him before leaving, apparently containing water.

No longer caring about the consequences, Ya took out the bottle and gulped down its contents along with the water of Death Lake.

It felt like a hot summer day when one drinks a can of icy cola, as Ya felt the pain in his throat and body alleviating with the cold liquid trickling down his throat.

The bottle of Green Liquid that Yue Jinghua gave contained fifty undiluted drops, enough that even Yue Jinghua would need dozens of tries to finish, yet Ya drank it all in one go.

Consuming nearly fifty drops at once was like an overwhelmingly fierce stream of Dark Power that instantly shattered Ya’s internal organs and fragile skin.

That Green Liquid was the essence of the Divine Wood Green Lotus, capable of promoting rebirth in all things in the world.

But Death Lake, on the other hand, did just the opposite; it accelerated the passage of time in the world, hastening the aging process.

This great force of life and death sawed at each other within Ya’s body, neither willing to compromise.

Ya felt his soul plunge into a crucible, as his skin quickly tore apart and blood sprayed from his veins.

His already voice-silenced throat emitted a painful roar like that of a wild beast.

Aging--rebirth--aging--rebirth; under the constant wash of lake water and scouring by the Green Liquid, the aging flesh and reborn skin and muscles continuously died and were reborn.

A vast dark Pentagram emerged on Ya’s chest.

Emperor Skeleton inside his body screamed in terror, never expecting this hideous man to also be a Dark Demon Master.

Emperor Skeleton’s soul was enveloped by the Pentagram Array, and the shattered skeleton bones floating on the lake’s surface were sucked into the dark Star Light.

Hills and plains, under the effect of the Star Light, whipped up a storm, and the bones of the Dead Spirit Crane Dark Demon Beasts buried in this area flew up and rushed into the Five-star Array.

Under the starlight, the bones of Emperor Skeleton fused with those of the Dark Clan, who had died many years ago; its forest green eyes gradually turned blood red, and its bones became tougher than before. A skeleton figure about twice the height of a man with a dark mark on its skull appeared in the Pentagram Array.

"Hahaha--" Yaqing’s long hair fluttered like ears in the wind, and beneath his deep brown eyes and tall nose, his thin lips burst into reckless laughter.

In Death Lake, the reborn man sprawled naked like an infant, his muscles rising like small hills, the newly born Fa Xiaoyi.

No, the reborn Undead Summoner, Ya, was now laughing loudly.

His laughter traveled far and wide, eliciting a series of impatient roars from the Dark Demons within the Nine Great Dark Demon Mountains.

This night, the entire Dark Hell seemed especially restless.

At the same moment, having entered the Earth Yin Escape, Yue Jinghua felt an unease subtly crossing her mind. Before leaving Dark Hell, she looked up at the sky only to see a dazzling star slowly rising from the north against the pitch-black night sky.
