I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 697 Jiang Yi's Tragic Fate

After Jiang Chen's persistent pleading, Antares finally forgave him.

Then a bubble the size of a fist appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Inside the bubble was Jiang Yi's remnant soul, which looked very weak and had already fallen into a coma, unconscious.

Antares breathed dragon fire, casually tossing the bubbles, and the remnant souls inside churned with the bubbling bubbles.

The remnant soul did not awaken, but Jiang Chen could see pain in its expression.

The remnant soul was already very weak, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover. After being tormented by Antares, it became even weaker.

Jiang Chen looked at the bubble and silently mourned for Jiang Yi for half a second. Jiang Yi's remnant soul could vanish into thin air at any moment.

He probably never imagined he would fall into Antares' hands. Antares said, "Did you see what's inside the remnant soul?" Jiang Chen nodded, "In the center of the remnant soul, there seems to be a pebble." "This isn't a pebble, it's the soul core of the Soul Clan." Antares exhaled a breath of dragon essence that merged into bubbles and seeped into Jiang Chen's remnant soul.

Jiang Yi's remnant soul showed a look of pain, trembling even in his unconscious state. At the center of the remnant soul, a tiny point of light lit up, very small, less than the size of a fingernail, looking about the size of a pebble.

Antares said, "The Soul Clan is not a powerful race. Their weakness is too obvious: they don't have physical bodies and need to possess the bodies of other races."

"Therefore, the appearance of the Soul Clan is extremely diverse, including those from various races, and they have a bad reputation, so no race likes them."

Jiang Chen understood immediately. Who could like a race that constantly plots to possess their body? The Soul Clan was probably a pariah among all races, hated by everyone.

Antares continued, "However, the Soul Clan also has its advantages; they only need to..."

As long as the soul core remains, it can regenerate.

"The physical body can be discarded at any time. As long as their soul core is still there, they can regenerate and possess another body. At worst, they can start cultivating all over again."

"If they were to encounter a powerful physical body, the Soul Clan could become extremely powerful in a short period of time."

Jiang Chen said, "Isn't anyone going to wipe out such a race?" In Jiang Chen's understanding, such a race would definitely be targeted by others, and might even be attacked by a group.

Antares shook his head. "I want to destroy them, but I can't."

"Is there an invincible being among the Block Clan?" Jiang Chen thought about it and realized that this was the only possibility.

“That’s one thing.” Antares exhaled a breath of dragon's breath, and Jiang Yi’s soul once again showed a look of pain, trembling incessantly.

Antares seems to have become addicted to playing with Jiang Yi's remnant soul, treating it like a toy.

As for Jiang Yi's life or death, they didn't care at all.

As it played, it said, "There are indeed a few powerful figures among the Soul Clan, but that's not the main reason. There are many races stronger than the Soul Clan."

"The key is that the Soul Clan is difficult to kill; to kill the Soul Clan, we need to destroy their soul cores."

"However, after reaching the True God realm, the Soul Clan can split off a second Soul Core."

"Moreover, as its cultivation level increases, it can split off a third and a fourth core."

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. These scoundrels will hide their split soul cores. Heaven knows which corner they'll hide them in."

"As long as one soul core is lost, they can be resurrected and regenerated."

Jiang Chen said, "So, does that mean the Huai Clan can't be completely wiped out?" Antares shook his big head, "Not exactly, it's just that killing them would be very troublesome."

"For some truly incredibly powerful beings, annihilating the Soul Clan wouldn't be difficult. It's just that the Soul Clan is nothing in the eyes of those beings."

"The Soul Clan is nothing more than a tiny ant in their eyes. As long as that tiny ant doesn't crawl onto them, they won't bother with it."

"The Soul Clan is also very clever; they know which races they can mess with and which they can't." Jiang Chen nodded to himself. To survive in a world teeming with powerful individuals, the Soul Clan must have a set of methods.

However, from Antares's words, Jiang Chen also realized that the outside world was also a place where the strong prey on the weak.

The principle that might makes right is very clear.

Jiang Chen continued to ask, "Jiang Yi once said that he wanted to become the master of the world, and that becoming a god would make him immortal."

"Oh, is that so?" Antares asked with a question. "The Soul Clan's so-called immortality usually refers to the ability to split off a second soul core and then hide it in a place where no one can find it."

"But that requires reaching the True Level. It seems this guy has some secrets. Let me investigate."

Antares moved, and the mist that had been constantly wrapped around his body churned and surged, sweeping across the sky and blotting out the sun. In the blink of an eye, it had covered most of the core area.

Even the streaks of light in the sky were obscured by the thick fog.

Then Jiang Chen saw a gigantic dragon claw emerge from the thick fog. The claw was enormous, enough to cover a hundred miles.

The dragon claws were purplish-black, exuding a heavy aura and unparalleled magnificence.

Compared to the bubble, which was only the size of an adult's fist, it seemed so insignificant. A wisp of purple-gold energy flew out from the dragon claw and landed on the bubble.

"Soul Search!" A deafening voice rang out in his soul, and Jiang Chen felt a tremendous shock to his soul, with his whole body stinging with pain.

Jiang Chen knew that Antares wasn't targeting him, but he still felt a threat from the depths of his soul.

If Antares was targeting him, he would be utterly powerless to resist. Antares' strength had reached a level that Antares could not comprehend.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal exhaled a breath of dragon fire to protect its soul, but it could still feel a stinging pain, as if even the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal had lost its effect.

It wasn't that the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal was inferior, but rather that Antares was too strong, and Jiang Chen's soul level was indeed too low.

Jiang Chen endured the stinging pain and carefully watched Antares's movements.

The thunderous roar shook the soul, and the word "search" was etched into it, impossible to erase.

Jiang Chen knew that Antares was deliberately barking at him. It could have chosen not to bark; by barking, it was letting him know what it was doing.

Soul search, searching for souls to obtain information.

Inside the bubble, Jiang Yi's soul awoke with a start under the soul-searching technique, his soul twisted and writhing in agony.

Jiang Chen could hear the soul voice emanating from Jiang Yi, which was truly so tragic that it defied description.

First it was used as a toy by Antares, and now it's being searched. This thing is really pitiful.

Jiang Yi's life, in its entirety, could indeed be written into a history that is both epic and laughable.

Jiang Yi's soul gradually faded and disappeared under Antares's search.

Finally, only one relay core remained. A few seconds later, the end core also exploded.

Jiang Yi was completely dead, reduced to ashes, utterly and completely dead. With Jiang Yi's complete demise, the core area returned to normal. Antares opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, "So that's how it is. No wonder he said that becoming a god would grant immortality; a piece of the world's core actually fell here."

"How come I never noticed this before? I really missed it."

"What a pity, this guy is really unlucky."

Antares muttered to himself, his gaze drifting towards Jiang Chen, as if to say, "Beg me, and I'll tell you."

Looking into Antares's eyes, Jiang Chen thought to himself: "Despicable!"
