King Of Chaos-Chapter 457 Ch : Ling Xiaolong’s Awakening

"No..."

As the middle-aged Spiritas devoured the newborn child's soul, a young mother in the crowd saw this scene and cried out in pain. She wanted to rush over but was quickly pulled by a man beside her. He forcefully covered her mouth and urgently said in a low voice, "Don't you want to live anymore? Hold back your emotions!"

This short commotion did not affect the others. Most of the people only felt numb in their hearts when they saw this scene, or it could be said that they were accustomed to it.

In front of god-like Spiritas, they were ants. Humans were too weak to go against other races.

They didn't know the situation of humans in other parts of the Land, but in this country, humans were treated as slaves. This country was ruled by the Spiritas Race and they held this sacrificial ceremony almost every ten years. The content of the sacrificial ceremony was to draw out a portion of humans, and let the Spiritas devour their souls. Among these, all newborns under the age of fifteen were fixed on the list.

This was because newborns usually had the purest soul. novelbuddy.c om

After devouring the soul of the newborn baby, a satisfied smile emerged on the face of the middle-aged Spiritas, as if he had just enjoyed a sumptuous feast. After that, he walked towards a human sprinkled by Soul Dust and reached out his hand to touch the man's face.

He was ready to extract this man's soul as well.

But at this moment, an unexpected scene occurred. A sword light slashed across, and the arm of the middle-aged man from the Spiritas Race was cut off from his elbow. Blood gushed out and splashed to the ground.

The human whose soul was about to be extracted was stunned. He stared blankly at the middle-aged Spiritas, who had lost his arm and was screaming in pain. After that, he limped backwards hurriedly, trying to hide in the crowd.

"Who is it? How dare you... Ah, ah, bastard!"

The middle-aged Spiritas roared loudly and screamed. At the same time, he looked in the direction from where that sword light came. There, he saw Ling Xiaolong holding a sword in his hand, looking at him with a cold expression.

Just a while ago, when the middle-aged Spiritas extracted the newborn child's soul and devoured it, something inside Ling Xiaolong's soul seemed to have been broken. His soul shook intensely.

In that moment, an extremely powerful soul force attacked an unknown substance that seemed to be some sort of restriction.

The substance was erased completely, and all his memories came rushing like a tide.

Immediately, Ling Xiaolong realized what was happening. It might be because of the trial; he was living Long Chen's life. He was experiencing everything that Long Chen had once gone through.

To be more specific, he was not living Long Chen's entire life, but all the important phases of his life that brought some sort of changes to him.

Ling Xiaolong didn't know what Long Chen's reaction was witnessing this sacrificial ceremony, but he could not stand these arrogant Spiritas and attacked.

The strongest Spiritas standing opposite to him were Ninth Stage Celestial Sovereigns. But among the group of humans, he was the strongest. He was just a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior.

If not for his sudden attack that came as an unexpected surprise, he could have never cut the middle-aged Spiritas' hand.

Looking at the middle-aged Spiritas, Ling Xiaolong spoke, "From now on, Humans will no longer be slaves for any race. We are no longer meat that you Spiritas can devour as you please. For your actions, your entire race will pay. I'll make you all pay."

Ling Xiaolong's voice was deep like muffled thunder as it echoed in the surroundings.

"Arrogant!"

"Kill him!"

The middle-aged Spiritas gritted his teeth. As his Soul Force surged, his broken arm began to regrow. Even his body was reshaped by the Soul Force.

As soon as he finished speaking, several Spiritas quickly surrounded Ling Xiaolong and attacked him from all sides. They controlled Soul Force and attacked Ling Xiaolong's soul.

But...

Ling Xiaolong's soul was far more powerful than theirs. Their attack proved to be useless.

Ling Xiaolong snorted coldly and attacked. Although his cultivation, because of living Long Chen's life, was limited to Celestial Awakening Realm, his soul was different. He could completely make use of his soul force to kill all his enemies.

A question arises here!

Since Ling Xiaolong is experiencing Long Chen's life through the trial, it is akin to living in an illusion in a sense. Then, how could his soul force kill something that is nothing more than an illusion?

The answer lies in the principle of Cause and Effect. In this realm, actions still carry consequences, and the energy of Ling Xiaolong's soul, fueled by his intent and will, can manifest tangible effects. Since he is living a life within this illusion, for him at present, this illusion is reality. That is why his attacks would prove effective here. freewe bnovel .com

"Soul Destruction!"

Spiritas are beings without a physical body. They are a complete manifestation of soul. It is just that Spiritas' souls are unique enough to toughen and solidify Soul Force on their outer layer, acting as a physical body.

When Ling Xiaolong used Soul Destruction, those who were attacking him shattered into fragments of light and dissipated. They were completely destroyed. Only some clothes and armors fell down to the ground.

"This... This is impossible. How can a lowly and inferior human like you master the way of the soul? How could use a soul ability to kill my kind?"

The middle-aged man from the Spiritas Race was shocked. He was unwilling to believe that a human could also master soul abilities.

As a Spiritas, he was extremely sensitive to soul, soul force, and soul abilities. He could sense even the slightest fluctuation of soul force.

When Ling Xiaolong executed the Soul Destruction ability, he easily recognized this skill as a Soul Ability.

He gritted his teeth unwillingly and joined the battle personally. He believed that as a Ninth Stage Celestial Sovereign, his soul is far more powerful than Ling Xiaolong's. Even if Ling Xiaolong attacked him, he would not suffer.

Unfortunately, he found out that Ling Xiaolong was extremely ferocious. Even with more than a dozen Spiritas attacking him at the same time, including him and two other Ninth Stage Celestial Sovereigns, they were still unable to take him down.

Instead, Ling Xiaolong just spoke two words—Soul Destruction—and they ended up dead. They were thoroughly destroyed.

Very soon, not a single Spiritas was left alive.

Maybe it is because of Ling Xiaolong's action, the course of the trial seemed to have been completely changed. An intense fluctuation of energy swept over, and tsunamis and cracks started appearing in Ling Xiaolong's surroundings. It was as if the world itself was about to shatter.

"No, it is not time yet!"

"Suppress!"

From these important phases of Long Chen's life, Ling Xiaolong learned a few pieces of vital information. He knew as long as he kept living Long Chen's life, he might solve all the mysteries related to the forgotten era and even the Tower of Wisdom.

Previously, he only knew that the Tower of Wisdom is an ancient site left behind by the Forgotten Era that was discovered by a powerful Master of Chaos. He never expected that the Tower of Wisdom was not an ancient site but an artifact that was older than the Forgotten Era.

The legend about this tower and the paintings inside attracted Ling Xiaolong's attention even more.

It was his second time learning that comprehending the true meaning of those paintings can enable anyone to surpass the capabilities of a Master of Chaos.

What does surpassing the capabilities of a Master of Chaos mean?

It means having the strength to truly control and even own the Chaos itself. It means to be the King of Chaos.

Ling Xiaolong would, of course, want to reveal all the secrets of this Tower because of this single reason.

The Tower of Wisdom was only one of the reasons. Ling Xiaolong also wanted to know whether Humans in Long Chen's era, the Forgotten Era, managed to raise their status from mere slaves to the Ruler of several Lands or not!

That is why he used the Rules of Chaos to stop the shattering of this illusion world. This illusion was completely suppressed, and the control of the trial easily ended up falling Ling Xiaolong's hands.

The next instant, the cracks repaired themselves and the scene before Ling Xiaolong's eyes changed once again.

This time, Ling Xiaolong saw how Long Chen fought, killed, led, and ruled.

With the help of the Tower of Wisdom, his strength increased rapidly.

In the Land of Celestial Glory that was known as the Land of Eternal Behemoth in the Forgotten Era, Long Chen was the first human Master of Chaos to appear. He fought against all the races in that land, killed an unknown number of creatures, and led the humans to rule the Land.

Yes, he was the first human to rise in the Land of Eternal Behemoth, but he was not the first human to rise in Chaos.

It was another person titled Human Emperor. The Human Emperor had already conquered more than ten Lands by the time Long Chen conquered the Land of Eternal Behemoth.

The Human Emperor was known as the Guardian of Humans.
