The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 56. SOUL CHAIN

The Site of the Destruction of the Universe

Broommmm....

A single gigantic palm suddenly emerged from the sky smashing and smashing through the entire Black Assassin headquarters building. An old geezer floated in the air and both of his hands clasped the collars of two middle-aged men.

"I told you, if you're lying I won't hesitate." Said the old man to the two people in his hands.

The two middle-aged men looked so apprehensive seeing that their building had been destroyed. No longer did they appear stout in the eyes of those they had been proud of.

"Her Majesty, we are actually the remnants of the Black Assassin that had been wiped out hundreds of years ago. When the extermination took place, we were still very small. After learning of the mistake made by the chairman back then, we were both determined to resurrect Black Assassin after successfully ascending to the Holy Ancestor realm with great difficulty. But we didn't expect that the man who once exterminated the first Black Assassin would now have to deal with him." One of the middle-aged men.

"I don't like to dance with you guys. You better get out of here." Said Grandfather Lalo throwing the two men to the ground after first crippling their cultivation.

The two middle-aged men dashed about no longer caring for their dead members. Silvie approached her grandfather.

"Why is it just released cake? It could be next time they'll commit a crime again." Ask Silvie.

"Just calm down, they won't be able to do anything anymore. Grandfather had crippled their cultivation. For a cultivator, it was better for them to be killed than for their cultivation to be crippled. But they were too cowardly so it was better for them to lose cultivation than to lose their lives." Grandpa Lao said casually. Silvie opened the map and looked at their current position.

"Hemm should have walked west if we were going to the Gama Empire." Silvie Mumbles.

"Yes, let's go." Reply Grandpa Lao stepped in first.

"Grandfather isn't better off buying a horse?" Silvie said following her grandfather.

"A fascinating idea. Grandpa's too old to walk." Reply grandpa Lao.

"Yay.. Not from the beginning."

The two men also walked out of the small forest, where the Black Assassin headquarters was located which had now become meaningless debris.

......................

"The ninth level energy crystal is indeed very precious." Denas murmured while carrying the crimson chrisatal and placed it in front of Tang Xiao.

"Third brother, this crystal is very precious. It was better to give this crystal to the person who had killed the giant golem." Denas said to Tang Xiao.

"This crystal is useless to me. Better use it for your cultivation. Who knows by absorbing this crystal, the fourth brother could rise several stars. Thank goodness for rising to nine stars." Said Tang Xiao leisurely not glancing at this crystal at all.

"But this crystal brother is really precious or is it your own brother who doesn't know the price." Denas Say.

"Whatever the price of this crystal brother is not interested. Think of this crystal as your fifteenth birthday gift." Reply Tang Xiao leisurely.

"Yes, the third brother will not regret." Denas said while keeping the crystal in his spatial ring.

"If you're done continue the journey. Looks like this passageway is still very far from its central point." Denas exclaimed to the members of the Azure Dragon Sect who were collecting the remains of the giant golem body that was still precious.

"Good young master. We're done too." The members said with passion.

Tang Xiao, Denas and the others continued their journey. The deeper, the more there are reliefs of images on the walls of the hallway made of burnt clay steel.

The relief of the image was like telling about the sacrifice to the demons that the ancient tribe had made. Tang Xiao could tell the hallways in this room were about a million years old.

"Hmmm... These passageways were actually built by an ancient tribe." Tang Xiao muttered while paying attention to one relief image that he thought was the most interesting among the other reliefs he had seen.

"Where do you know?" Ask Denas curiously. He was always curious about what this third brother said. The Azure Dragon sect members also looked curious.

"I can tell her age when I touch the walls of this hall." Tang Xiao replied as he touched the wall of the hall in front of him.

"How old is this wall?" Ask Denas.

"About two million three hundred years." Tang Xiao replied.

"Crazy... Much older than any organization in the world." Denas was surprised. It also surprised the other members.

"This passageway was established by the strongest virtual tribe in this world. Originally this hallway was a palace belonging to a virtual tribe that commanded the entire world with great authority. People from all over the world were forced to bow down and prostrate under the rule of the ancient Maya. Those who oppose will be punished so severely that those who oppose it die or surrender." Tang Xiao muttered then released his hand from the passageway as it was not strong to see the sight of torture appearing before his eyes carried out by the virtual tribe.

"It's great third brother technique. Teach me dong sis." Denas' speech persuaded Tang Xiao while playing with Tang Xiao's right arm.

"Ehh... Like a little child." Said Tang Xiao pulling his arm so as not to be made a toy by his fourth sister.

"Let's continue the journey again." Tang Xiao said quickly before Denas whined to ask him to teach the technique.

The other members nodded in agreement to Tang Xiao's words and followed Tang Xiao who had walked first followed Denas who looked sullen.

Shortly afterwards Tang Xiao's group stopped walking when in front of them had stood a black-eyed man with two black swords behind his back.

The man's clothes looked like a black armor with a hoody covering his head. The black armour clad in the man emitted a pitch-black smoke that surrounded the man. The man's cultivation level was at a realm unknown to Denas and the Azure Dragon members.

Grooaarr....

The black man in front of them suddenly shouted loudly. The loud cry exceeded the cry of the lion they had first found.

Slowly the black man pulled the two swords from his back and unsheathed them towards Tang Xiao and his group. Tang Xiao smiled sinisterly.

Ksjshsu msjshsu kshsgsya

The black man spoke in a language that was not understood at all by Tang Xiao's group.

"Hey ugly man, if you speak clearly dong." Tang Xiao sneered at the black man in front of him. Tang Xiao's words made the entire Azure Dragon member's heart as if it had stopped beating.

Krakakaaka habsjw jsgsuwv shsgd hskwabs sjwpwg majemajeoeb ksisv dlospwn.

The black man looked furious as he said those words. He looked at Tang Xiao sharply.

"Dwelling.. I told you to speak clearly." Tang Xiao's words provoked the black man in front of him.

Krakabekapwmoa kwlwi sksi ksow ao ns wkwl sjskapbs japw kwiev sope pwpoe maloahas laowye.

The black man said again. He gave off a huge killing aura.

"Young master should not provoke the creature. He was much stronger than that giant iron golem earlier." Said the oldest Azure Dragom Sect member. He was indeed already familiar with Tang Xiao so boldly reprimanded him.

"Calm down, uncle. That man can't attack us yet. It looks like he's locked up. Suppose he could have attacked us earlier, there's still a survivor between us." Denas calmed the old man down.

The old man was silent. She felt that Tang Xiao's words were indeed true. Why bother getting angry over Tang Xiao's remark if it could kill them all. That's what the elder thought.

"Hey ugly guy, can't talk. It's ugly, it stinks, now it can't talk. What are you living for." Tang Xiao's increasingly vociferous remarks provoked the black man in front of him.

The black man seemed to understand Tang Xiao's words. He threw his sword towards Tang Xiao's head very quickly. Tang Xiao did not dodge the sword as the people around him screamed in horror. Before the sword hit Tang Xiao's head, it turned into the hand of the black man who threw the sword.

"Ho young man turns out you're brave enough to be tough." The black man's words used understandable language.

"Eh even if the soft sword hits my head, I fear that the soft sword will be broken." Reply Tang Xiao flatly.

"You speak quite boldly too young man." The old man walked to the left side of the hallway.

"A parent like you can still talk even though all that's left is a soul piece." Tang Xiao replied casually.

It appeared that the black man's body was shaking as Tang Xiao said that.

"Haha.. The new kid this time has my secret figured out." The black man squinted his eyes.

"Only a fool who does not know you is a piece of soul." Reply Tang Xiao shrugged his shoulders.

"Hoo... Means your friends included." Said the man while pointing at Denas and the others standing behind Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao turned his head he was surprised to see Denas and the others looking sharply at him.

"Heh, ugly parents, you better let us pass if your soul still wants you to keep it." Tang Xiao's words threatened the black old man who was looking at the picture relief on the surface of the hallway wall.

"If you can get past me, I'll let you go." Reply the black man turned his gaze to Tang Xiao.

Broommmm...

Instantly the black man bounced far back. His black armour shattered, leaving his soul that looked so agonized.

"Hmmm... It seems that because of this armor you are able to maintain your physical body. And once the armor ino is destroyed or detached, your soul will be seen for granted." Said Tang Xiao as he looked at the white soul that was starting to rise.

"Ughs... What the hell just happened? You fucking kid. Give me back your armour." Exclaimed that man who did not accept his armor was destroyed.

"This is due to your excessive arrogance. I am a man who keeps my word. Suppose you let us through maybe your physical body is still fine." Tang Xiao's reply was cold.

The man was silent for a moment and thought about what he should not have done.

"Now that you've insulted me, I'd rather have your soul make it a collection." Said Tang Xiao then raising his palm forward.

Soul Absorption Techniques

Said Tang Xiao. Instantly came out a soul chain that quickly wrapped around the man's soul. The man tried to rebel and release himself with all his strength but all his efforts were in vain.

"The chain is not just a chain. The chain could wrap around the entire universe in one loop. So don't mess around and get ready to be a collection." Said Tang Xiao leisurely.

" ughh.. Fucking kid let me go. You dare son of a bitch play me." Bump the guy.

"Uh.. A person whose soul was almost wiped out still dared to say rude." Tang Xiao's voice tightened the winding of the chain and pulled the chain into his palm.

"Ught.. Kepa boy..." Not yet exhausted of the man's curse, his soul had already entered Tang Xiao's palm. Leave a gripping silence.

Denas and the others were astonished by Tang Xiao's actions. They were unable to say anything seeing Tang Xiao's horror wrapped around the man's soul earlier. They became afraid of Tang Xiao and subconsciously they retreated to the back only Denas was still amazed and impressed earlier.

"Ka.kak to.three.. A...pa the new..san ter.so?" Ask Denas stuttering. He had never seen anything like it before.

"Have you explained you don't understand. Relax, this place is safe." Tang Xiao replied extending a drink to Denas which was immediately received and drank it. After drinking the water, he looked calmer.

"Hmmm.. About how long have we been down here?" Denas asked to distract himself by looking for other topics of conversation.

"Hemm might have been a day. And it's time to rest." Tang Xiao replied casually. Then he told the other members to set up a tent to rest. It was seen that the Azure Dragon sect member was breathing a sigh of relief. They also feel tired of seeing amazing things all day.

They immediately rushed to set up a special tent for Tang Xiao and Denas but they both refused on the grounds of bringing their own tents. The other members did not bother and immediately set up a tent for themselves. They want to rest soon.

Denas took out a small tent given by Tang Xiao at Adam and Eve's house. Denas entered the tent after saying goodbye to Tang Xiao.

After entering his tent, Denas immediately laid his body in a fairly spacious and luxurious bed that was also a gift from Tang Xiao.

Denas pulled out a beautifully wrapped book with the inscription "Daily Book" on the cover. Denas opened the diary and then read some of his writings. He laughed a little while reading the writing.

Denas opened a new chapter of his diary and began to write his experiences in the book. Sometimes Denas writes with a smile, sometimes with teary eyes. I don't know what he wrote back then, which obviously was something that affected his feelings.

After he finished writing, Denas took off his clothes and put on a towel located not far from where he wrote in his diary. Denas put on the big towel and walked to the bathroom.

"Third brother is really good. Even the warm water in this tent is already available by itself. Even the herbs as well as energy recovery are also complete here. Ckcc.. Who is this third brother." Tang Xiao muttered then took off his towel and entered the bath tube. He glanced at the bath tube and spoiled himself.

"Ah fresh... All day soaking here I'm at home." Murmured Denas while playing with herbal water in the bath tube.

Meanwhile on the surface of the Red Dawn Desert, a group of people found the entrance of the same passageway that Tang Xiao and his group had passed through.

"Hey, there's an open hole here." One of them called his other friend. People immediately came to the person who was shouting.

"Bah... It seems like there are some people who have passed through this hole. The traces of his energy were still there." Say someone from them while crouching trying to jump at the bottom of the hole.

"Chairman, how is this? Are we going in or not?" Ask the guy who was crouching.

"Question what is it. Of course we have to go in. It seems that it is indeed the fairy tale of this Under Desert Palace." The man called chief jumped down before the others and was followed by thirty men.

The group that had just entered was so shocked to see the vast passageway they had entered. The walls of the hallway were made of burnt clay, the floor was made of black marble, the ceiling was made of red granite stone.

"The interior of this room still looks good. How old is this passage." The group leader muttered while looking around him.

Then they pierce the passageway slowly led directly by their chairman a middle-aged man.

The group stopped in a hallway with an entrance that had opened. Seen on all sides of the hallway there has been something mining going on.

"Hmmm.. It seems like this person who first entered has found a very valuable treasure." The middle-aged man muttered.

"Chairman, look there are some energy crystals - the mineral stones in the chapter were previously replaced with energy crystals - which are still not taken !!" A member of them pointed at some energy crystals not far from the entrance. The person who pointed at it looked very happy.

"Hmmm.. Wait a minute, let me see who knows there's a trap in there." Said their chief who was slowly approaching that large chunk of energy crystal.

The middle-aged man was seen sniffing like a sniffer dog around the crystal carcass. The man also made a jumping motion from the left side to the side of the crystal chunk. Sometimes the man made strange flying motions around the crystal chunk.

"Ugh... Ill-remitting illness crazy detective chairman relapses again." The inner members of the middle-aged male looked at the ridiculous behavior of their chief.

A moment later the man smiled widely knowing that there were signs of traps or danger around the crystal stone bongkahn.

"Okeh.. There's no trace of a trap here. You can mine these fifth level energy crystals without sparing a single bit." Said the middle-aged man.

"Wow... Level five energy crystals! It really is a treasure!!" Excite the members with passion. They immediately took out the miner tools they were carrying. It seemed like they had packed up the items before they went to the Red Dawn Desert. Had they known that the remaining energy crystal was the lowest among the energy crystals that Tang Xiao and his members had mined, they might have vomited blood.

Finished mining the energy crystals, the group continued their journey down the passageway after a short break. They entered the door in front of those who had opened.

Wuush...

They could feel an extremely powerful energy the moment they passed through that door. The group goosebumps feeling the turbulent energy from within the vast hallway that was only illuminated by a hint of light out of nowhere. The light only shone every ten meters in front of them.

"Ught.. What pressure is this?" Their words withstand the pressure of energy which then disappeared without a moment.

"Huf... I thought I almost died from the pressure." Said one of the group.

"It's possible that if it doesn't disappear soon, we'll meet a mala pekaka." The other words chimed.

"Already, the important thing is that we survive and continue the journey." Said the leader of the group stopping the useless chatter of its members.

"After receiving the pressure and we're still the chairman?" Ask one of the group.

"You're a fool. The pressure was not shown to us. It was like there was a big fight in there. If the pressure was directed here, you think you can still stand and breathe?" Their chief was half-screaming.

"At least the pressure earlier came from a level nine Mythical Beast and above." The chairman again.

The members were silent at the words of their leader. It could be said that something inside is not a young thing to fight. If they force their way in, it's suicide.

"Then why do we have to go there?" Ask those who do not understand the mind of their leader.

"Inside there is not only one Mythical Beast of reckless level but there are two. And they seem to be fighting over territory." Answer their chief.

"Today they understood the intent of their chief. They did not know how many Mythical Beasts were in the hall. But it looks like they will get something valuable.

"So what the chief meant, if the two creatures were to fight one of them would have died and the other was so badly injured that we could take this rare opportunity?" One of them was like analyzing.

"More or less so. I don't know the first group that came in. It was possible that they had become the food of the two Mythical Beasts." Replied their chief as he stepped on his way into the passageway. After walking for a long time, the group finally stopped in front of a lion that was lying weakly on the floor.

"Chairman, is the lion wounded?" Asked the group members while whispering in fear of disturbing the injured lion.

"See very badly injured and is dying. But who injured a level nine Mythical Beast this badly? This lion was famous for being the most powerful amongst the other level nine Mythical Beasts. Be careful not to let the Golden Lion run amok. Even though he's dying, he's still capable of killing you in one strike" replied the chief, who gave them goosebumps of fear.

"Chairman, look there's a big black feather next to the lion." The whisper of one of them who seemed to be seen as the vice-chairman.

"Hmmm.. The feathers looked familiar. There was a familiar yet terrifying aura from the feather." The middle-aged man muttered as he casually stepped closer to the huge fur lying beside the dying Lion.

"Hmmm...What feather is this? Why does it feel so familiar? And... Uh... This is a late level nine Half Saint Mythical Beast? Crazy, a Mythical Beast like what is new level nine is already half holy." The middle-aged man muttered while recalling the feathers he had in his hand.

"Hmmm.. The more I remember the more familiar there is.. Uh..." Suddenly the middle-aged man dropped a feather in his hand. His hands shook and his face looked terrified.

"Si.fucking.. into.napa..dia..can.in.here... No. sa.. lah.. this.. ma...lu..." The old man's voice trembled violently. His body went limp and fell to its knees on the floor.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
