“What?”“What’s that voice? Who’s talking?”In mere few moments, Alex realized that the Bodhi statue was speaking to him.This whole while, the statue seemed to be following him from a hundred metres away.“I am… the Palatial!”“H-uh?”Alex was stunned again. He’d inherited Ksitigarbha’s teachings and had basic knowledge of Buddhism, but he’d never heard of the Palatial Bodhi.However, he was now surrounded by dozens of dark golden bone demons and being attacked on the ground. It was difficult for him to escape. As for that idiot Xerxes, he was about to get onto the sedan chair. He wasn’t ready for Xerxes and his wife to make out.If this were to happen, nothing could save the situation, not even if he slept with Jade.So, he didn’t care what sort of god he became, as long as it helped.In the next moment, the Bodhi statue lit up even brighter, the light condensed into a strong stream and shone towards Alex.Shiiing!!!The golden light entered Alex's body and a strong str
“I summon the power of the Buddha!”“Kill!”Right now, Alex was like a god of death. Wherever he went, people dropped dead.Even Pigsy was afraid and kept a reasonable distance from him.The Corpse Princess saw her subordinates wither one by one like frail crops. She looked towards Alex, her expression as fierce as a demon from hell. Then, she screamed out a command in the direction of the oncoming majestic mountain.Rumble…The mountain vibrated as a sea of black shadows rushed out like a million arrows.However, if one took a good look, one would realize that they were tombstones. Each tombstone was as dark as ink.However, in the middle were ancient white writings.Those were inscriptions and names, each different as if they were real tombstones.“The tomb of the Heavenly Lord of Nine Guards!”“The tomb of the God of War!””The tomb of Maitreya of the West!”“The empress of the sea of sand…”There were many others as well. Each tombstone represented a dead hero.Some
The princess sat on the boat deck, unafraid. She looked at Alex and said, “So what if I did? I can tell you the truth, I’ve completely taken over this woman and destroyed her original soul. She’ll never ever be your wife again!“If you kill me, you’ll be killing your wife.”“What’s your decision? How about you just think of me as your wife? The princess doesn’t have limits to her number of partners, so I don’t mind taking you as another concubine.Alex’s face darkened, his eyes almost sparking lightning.Pigsy said, “Alex, this woman has changed completely. Since she’s not your wife, just kill her now. It’ll save you the trouble.Xerxes nodded in agreement. “The Corpse King’s daughter was originally immortal, and was able to live with the powers of this place. But now that she’s taken over someone, it’ll become a restriction for her instead. If you try now, you’d have a high chance of killing her.”Despite this, Alex was unwilling to do so.“I have to see for myself!”Alex se
There was a burst of light, like a rainbow. The princess was shocked.She had never expected Alex to really carve out a part of the original owner’s soul.With these parts, he could read a part of the imprints on the soul.However, with so little, it would be impossible to even try restoring the soul.“This is the Underworld, their god’s territory.”“You outsiders will never know this world’s deepest secrets. If you don’t release me, the god of the Underworld will be here soon. You won’t be able to escape.”Seeing Alex’s silence, the princess continued persuading him to release her.On the other hand, Alex remained quiet. He’d touched the soul pieces and found a tiny bit of Xienna’s memories—Reincarnation and the search for Dorothy...That seemed to be the theme of the memories.The pieces were too shattered, and most were completely destroyed. He couldn’t retrieve any memories from those pieces.However, at last, he finally found some useful information.Xienna thought th
“Pray for… my salvation?”The princess’ soul was taken aback. Even though she knew he’d do so, when she truly had to face death, it still felt like a dream. She was the Corpse King’s daughter, the one and only corpse princess! As a royal, she was one of the tops in her world. Before this, she stood at the peak of social status and looked down on the other trialists as if they were a group of clowns. She would sometimes appear just for the sake of teasing them.This was just how high and mighty she acted here. The trialists were just her toys in the Underworld.They were… moths used as sacrifices.However, the trialists didn’t know about this.Despite this, she’d have never thought that Xerxes would be part of the trialists. That bastard had such luck finding her real body, dug her hibernating body out from the coffin, and even ate her Spiritual Corpse Core...She could swear that Xerxes didn’t know how important the core was to her, let alone its functions.She knew that she h
Whoosh…Alex quickly stepped back and stared at that eerie ball of flame.‘This used to be Dorothy’s consciousness.’ ‘The flame was so aggressive and violent that even the soul of someone as powerful as the princess got burned just like that in a matter of seconds.’‘Then, has Dorothy’s consciousness been burned as well?’Worried, Alex stared unfazed at the flame.Then, he found out that as soon as the princess died, the golden flame instantly extinguished. Not even a spark was left, and none remained on the ground of her consciousness.“What was that then?”“How did it light up?”Alex still felt lingering fears. When he was facing that ball of fire, he knew that he would likely perish if he were to be burned to death as well.‘How did the fire start out of nowhere?’‘Could it be some sort of flame of inhibition? Her final words were about the Emperor... Could she have found out some truth at the end of her life?’‘Was it an attack by the Emperor of the Underworld?’Alex
Within Dorothy’s consciousness, it appeared like an actual sea.The sea sparkled under the sunlight, and steam rose up in the air. There were even Regulation Runes flowing within it.Never noticing it before, Alex had just realized now how special Dorothy’s consciousness was. It had a huge difference with his.“Is this because of the reincarnation?”Alex was stunned, jealous even. Such a rare consciousness was one in a million. ‘So, these were the changes to Dorothy that came with Xienna's awakening…’‘What a scary woman!’However, the thought of part of her soul being destroyed made Alex wonder if she’d already noticed. If she had, Alex knew that she’d be outraged, which made him feel quite joyful.Finally, he was close to where Dorothy was sealed.He didn’t act immediately, afraid of causing a bad reaction. He had to be very careful.He used his soul power to feel and touch the space.In the next second, he was absorbed into a dimension of thought.It seemed to be Doroth
“What about her? She won’t agree to this, right?” asked Dorothy.At the mention of Xienna, all positive feelings ceased to exist in Dorothy’s heart, and all that was left was hatred.Xienna had suppressed her while she was in a weak state after giving birth. She gave no bother and locked her up in the corner of her consciousness like a lab rat, waiting for her to lose her memories of this life, to forget about the people she loved most.‘What was the point of having such a past life?’Alex told her about everything that happened in the Underworld—it was a rare chance to regain control of herself again, as long as they could break the seal. Later on, they could come up with a plan to fight Xienna.“Don’t speak, just kiss me!”“I need your love!” Dorothy suddenly said.The two souls embraced and started making out—it just happened naturally.Five minutes later, Alex let go of her. The comfort and understanding between two loving souls were indescribable. Unfortunately, this wasn’
