Chapter 1: Spirit God Palace

Luo Shan always remembered being seen as an oddity in his clan; from the moment he was born, he had a bloodthirsty soul, but his parents did not abandon him; instead, the clan left the "Angel Family". Because only pure souls can become true angels, obviously, Luo Shan's soul was dark due to bloodthirst, so he was regarded as an oddity among the Angel Clan.

However, not long after, the Angel Clan faced extermination; from then on, the Angel Family disappeared from this continent. Fortunately, Luo Shan's family escaped this calamity, but the matter was not over.

"Pass the order: if anyone from the Angel Family is found, bring them to see me." A leading black-clothed man said in the hall.

"Yes! Lord Ming Guang, I will carry it out immediately." After receiving the order, a subordinate left.

At that moment, Aimiduode Town was in chaos, because Lord Ming Guang's subordinates had already discovered that Luo Shan's parents were of the Angel Clan, so they wanted to capture them and report back.

"Father, why do they want to capture us?" Luo Shan did not understand; what was this for?

"Shan Shan, quickly follow your mother and leave Aimiduode Town, or we will all die." Although Luo Jing was a high-level Person Master, what they faced was a vast "Spirit God Palace".

The Spirit God Palace on the continent exists like a god; whatever they desire, they will surely seize at any cost.

"Luo Jing, let's leave together." Qing Yu felt very reluctant; she did not want to leave Luo Jing.

"Yes, Father, let's flee Aimiduode Town together." Luo Shan also did not want to just leave with his mother and abandon his father.

"Hurry up, if we don't go now it'll be too late." At that moment, an elder who had lived with them for many years said.

Just then, Lord Ming Guang arrived; it seemed everything was already too late.

"Are you a member of the Angel Family?" A powerful aura approached; Luo Jing did not therefore fear.

"That's right, I am a member of the Angel Family; what of it?" Luo Jing looked at Luo Shan, hoping he would be safe.

"Hahaha... I doubt it; that beautiful woman is probably also of the Angel Clan." Although Lord Ming Guang didn't know much about angels, he could still sense the pure aura they emitted.

Although Luo Shan was only fifteen, he knew Lord Ming Guang was no good person; even if he died, he wanted to die together with his parents.

"Luo Shan, if you don't go, you'll be killed." Before Lord Ming Guang arrived, Luo Jing and Qing Yu had already asked the elder who had lived with them for many years to forcibly take him away.

Although Luo Shan had already been far from his parents, he still did not want to leave just like that.

"What do you want?" Seeing Lord Ming Guang discover that his wife was also of the Angel Clan, Luo Jing was furious.

"Hehe, as long as you follow me for a trip, I won't make things difficult for you." Lord Ming Guang smiled lightly; what exactly was their purpose?

"I don't think it's that simple." Regarding Lord Guang's words, Luo Jing did not believe them at all.

"If that's the case, then I'm not to blame." After saying that, Lord Ming Guang ordered his subordinates to surround Luo Jing and Qing Yu.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

In a moment, Luo Jing and Qing Yu dealt with those high-level Person Disciples.

Cultivators on this continent are divided into five levels: Person Disciple, Person Master, Person Emperor, Person Sovereign, Person God. Each level has elementary, intermediate, and advanced stages.

Luo Jing and Qing Yu were both high-level Person Masters; dealing with a few high-level Person Disciples was of course no problem.

"Hmph, is that all your strength?" It seemed Lord Ming Guang was confident he could defeat Luo Jing and Qing Yu.

Although that was the case, Lord Ming Guang's strength was only that of an elementary Person Emperor; facing two high-level Person Masters, the outcome was uncertain.

"Skeleton Summon!" At that moment, Lord Ming Guang summoned five skeletons, which rushed toward Luo Jing and Qing Yu like warriors of the dead.

"What? A summoning technique?" Luo Jing and Qing Yu were shocked at the rare summoning technique, because only those who had reached the Person Emperor level could summon.

"Luo Jing, being able to die with you, I die without regret; only unfortunate is our child..."

"Qing Yu, rest assured, we won't die." Before Qing Yu finished speaking, Luo Jing realized he was a little afraid; after all, Qing Yu's nature was kind, and in this brutal battle he felt some fear.

"Holy Light Brilliance..."

Suddenly, Luo Jing released the light magic "Holy Light Brilliance"; a ray of light shot from his palm.

"Boom!"

One skeleton instantly exploded; seeing Luo Jing not retreat, Qing Yu also charged in, even if it meant death she would fight to the bitter end.

"Ha, what a pair bound together in life and death; I won't let you die, but only for now." Seeing Luo Jing and Qing Yu so devoted, Lord Ming Guang felt a twinge of regret.

"Hmph, stop being arrogant." After saying that, Luo Jing unleashed his astonishing magic "Holy Light Demon-Exterminating Bullet".

Qing Yu followed suit; the two shared life and death, even if they died they would stay together.

"Alright, since it's like that, I also need to settle this quickly." Although Luo Jing and Qing Yu were light-system mages, dealing with Lord Ming Guang, a dark-system Person Emperor, was difficult even though he was only an elementary Person Emperor.

Thinking of his parents' departure, the elder named Xiao Yushan ultimately could not stop him.

"White Bone Prison, go."

Only hearing Lord Ming Guang give a soft shout, a mass of black qi instantly turned into a prison made entirely of white bones, extremely evil.

Suddenly, that magical prison lunged toward Luo Jing and Qing Yu; no matter how they resisted, they could not escape its power.

"Father, Mother..." Not far away, Luo Shan saw his parents locked inside that white cage, feeling very sorrowful.

"Hahaha, with the pure souls of the Angel Clan, soon the Spirit God Palace Master will be able to dominate the entire human realm, hahaha..." Lord Ming Guang, who had captured Luo Jing and Qing Yu, laughed maniacally.

"Whoever you are, quickly release my parents." Facing Lord Ming Guang, Luo Shan shouted angrily.

"Huh?" Lord Ming Guang grunted, only to see Luo Shan shaken by his icy aura: "What, you're also of the Angel Clan?"

Looking at Luo Shan, Lord Ming Guang only felt his soul came not from light but from the depths of darkness, possessing a bloodthirsty demonic nature.

"So what? If one day I become stronger than you, I will surely kill you with my own hands." Even if Lord Ming Guang would kill him now, Luo Shan still spoke fiercely.

Seeing Luo Shan's courage at such a young age, Lord Ming Guang couldn't help but feel admiration; but he detected Luo Shan's bloodthirsty soul, concluded he was not of the Angel Clan, and thus had no intention of also capturing him to offer to the Spirit God Palace Master.

"Hehe, little brat, too bad that day won't come, because in this world only the strong are honored; you are too weak." To eradicate the roots, even though Luo Shan was not of the Angel Clan, Lord Ming Guang still planned to kill him.

"Shan Shan, don't worry about us; you will always be our Shan Shan..."

"Shan Shan, run quickly..."

Luo Shan's father and mother kept shouting in the white prison, yet Luo Shan still could not bear to leave.

"Uh..."

Finally, to avoid future trouble, Lord Ming Guang ended Luo Shan's young life. Seeing Luo Shan killed just like that by Lord Ming Guang, his parents' hearts also died.

Could it be that Luo Shan really died just like that?

After capturing Luo Jing and Qing Yu, Lord Ming Guang left.

What exactly does the Spirit God Palace Master want with the souls of the Angel Clan?

Hall Master, I have brought the people of the Angel Clan as you ordered. On the mysterious hall, Mingguang knelt and said.

"Alright, you may go." A cold and fearful voice sounded in Mingguang's ear, and Mingguang didn't dare make a sound as he left.

Regarding the Hall Master's attitude, no one dared to oppose, for it was unforgivable unless the Hall Master willingly let you act wantonly, so Mingguang dared not have too many hopes.

At that time, on Aimiduode Town, a desolate waste, no longer as beautiful as before.

"What is that?" In the darkness, a voice sounded; it turned out Luoshan was not dead.

Opening his eyes, Luoshan felt a pitch darkness; what place is this? Clearly he was killed by Mingguang, yet he still has consciousness.

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, lightning flashed and thunder roared, extremely terrifying, accompanied by flashes of light; Luoshan saw countless drifting people here, not knowing what they were doing, looking at himself, and he was just like them.

Difficultly, Luoshan could not get close to them; deep in the lower layer of this place, no matter how Luoshan shouted, no one paid attention, and even the darkness shut him out.

"Luoshan, Luoshan..."

Drifting in the lowest layer of this darkness, Luoshan always felt as if someone were summoning him, but he could never recall whose voice it was.

"Luoshan, Luoshan..."

Another round of summoning, as if trying to take him away.

"Who are you? Why do you keep summoning me?" The summoning voice lingered, and Luoshan felt quite surprised.

"Luoshan, don't be afraid, I am Grandfather Xiaoyushan; I will save you and get you out." It turned out to be the old man who lived together with Luoshan.

Hearing Xiaoyushan's voice, Luoshan asked, "Grandfather Xiaoyushan, where am I? I'm not dead, am I?"

"This is the Nine Abyss Land, the place where darkness is strongest; after death, if a soul does not dissipate, it comes here." Xiaoyushan explained.

"Oh, that's it; then what must I do to leave here?" At this moment Luoshan finally understood that this was the legendary Nine Abyss Land of this continent.

Most of those who come to the Nine Abyss Land do so because their souls are too dark, for the places where they can survive on this continent are few and far between; only when a mage performs a summoning can they cleanse their souls and gain a chance at rebirth, but the price is to wager their lives.

For the dark souls here, few manage to be reborn; most are because mages summon them to fight, and they perish in battle.

"Luoshan, as long as your spirit is in tune with mine, I can get you out; remember, you must be spiritually in tune with me." Xiaoyushan emphasized strongly, otherwise both would be harmed.

"Mm! Grandfather Xiaoyushan, I understand." Luoshan replied.

At this moment Xiaoyushan exerted his powerful Summoning Technique, waiting for Luoshan's spiritual attunement. However, on Luoshan's side, there was no response at all.

"Grandfather Xiaoyushan, why am I still here?" Luoshan said.

"Luoshan, when I performed the summoning, I discovered that your soul originally comes from darkness, so you must find a 'Nine Abyss Light Pearl' in the Nine Abyss Land to resist your soul's nature in order to do so." Because Luoshan's soul is bloodthirsty and dark, even a high-ranking human emperor's summoning would be useless, so Xiaoyushan could do nothing.

However, seeking a Nine Abyss Light Pearl in the Nine Abyss Land is extremely difficult, beyond imagination, for here there are not only powerful blood spirits and ghosts, but also powerful evil spirits, and even the Grim Reaper.

In order to escape this perilous zone, Luoshan had no choice but to go seek the Nine Abyss Light Pearl, for that was his only chance.

In his endless wandering, Luoshan could not reach the upper layer of the Nine Abyss Land at all; he could only remain in the lowest layer.
