Chapter 693: I

In the Soul World, Jiang Chen saw a strangely shaped fellow. The fellow was slender and its whole body kept twisting.

On its body grew a dozen or so pairs of things that were neither hand nor foot, looking like a many‑legged worm—somewhat disgusting.

"Jiang Chen, you didn't expect it, did you? I've entered your Soul World." "Your power is stronger than that useless Jiang Yi, I've decided—I will devour your soul."

"Your power, your skill, everything you have will be…" Before the words finished, he suddenly could not speak.

He swore he had never seen such a bustling Soul World.

Two Divine Ranks, two Divine Seats.

One Mythological Class staff, one Legendary Class staff.

Jiang Chen's soul was relatively normal, but what on earth was the Nine‑Colored Divine Dragon outside the soul?

And why were there two Towers on the soul's hand—one Legendary Class, the other unmistakably the Gu Lei Outer Tower.

Besides that, five Skill Star Cores glittered like stars in the sky.

Jiang Yi looked a little flustered at the five Skill Star Cores.

Especially, two of the Skill Star Cores were very different; they spun so fast it seemed they would suck in one's own soul.

Jiang Yi shivered violently, feeling as if he had made a wrong decision,

this place didn't seem like where he should be.

Jiang Chen's soul opened its eyes, and his voice thundered through the entire Soul World, "Is this your true self?"

In one's own Soul World, one is a God.

Since Jiang Yi has entered, there's no way out.

The gate of the Soul World slammed shut; Jiang Yi didn't even have time to try escaping.

Jiang Yi trembled all over, his body wobbling like soft noodles, "Your soul… why is it so strong."

Jiang Chen sneered, "You think, because I'm only level 77, my soul should be about the same level, right."

"Isn't that so?" Jiang Yi whispered, "That's common sense—any being above Divine Level should know that."

But Jiang Chen was far beyond common sense.

A level‑77 practitioner possessing a soul almost reaching level 93—that's impossible.

No, it could happen.

Jiang Yi thought of a possibility and blurted out, "You're not from this world; you also came from the outside."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, his eyes flickering, and after a two‑second silence he said gravely, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yi chuckled, "I guessed right, so just tell me straight—what race are you?"

Jiang Chen sneered, "What business is it of yours? You're just a failed member of the Soul Race, what right do you have to meddle with me."

Jiang Yi burst into a loud laugh, "I did fail, but I'm of the Soul Race; you should know what would happen if you killed me."

Jiang Chen's gaze grew a bit gloomy as he stared at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi displayed an unflinching, fearless look, as if he truly wasn't afraid of Jiang Chen.

A few seconds later, Jiang Chen sighed lightly, "Killing you is indeed difficult, but I can imprison you so you can never leave for all eternity."

"I'll lock you in the God‑Exterminating Fortress, where you'll be hammered daily by God‑Exterminating Thunder, slowly torturing you."

"Don't worry, I'll adjust the force so you won't die." As he said, Jiang Chen raised the Gu Lei Outer Tower; purple lightning crackled on it, looking terrifying.

Mo Mo Yu's gaze was also blood‑thirsty, very frightening.

Jiang Yi indeed jumped in fright and shouted, "You can't forbid me; otherwise I'd rather kill myself."

Jiang Chen replied, "Then go ahead and kill yourself."

"You…" Jiang Yi was speechless for a moment; even ants manage to survive, let alone a strong Soul Race warrior.

If he could avoid death, Jiang Yi would never even think of it.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually I could release you, but you must agree to a few conditions."

Hope rose in Jiang Yi's eyes, "What conditions?"

Jiang Chen slowly began, "First, you must not oppose the Human Race again." Jiang Yi nodded immediately, "After I leave, I'll go to the Abyss or the Dragon Realm, guaranteeing I won't appear in the Human World again."

"Second, I know you want to become the ruler of the world, immortal forever. I wanted the same, but when I infiltrated, an accident caused me to sleep for many years, and I woke up with gaps in my memory."

While speaking, Jiang Chen stared intently at Jiang Yi, catching every slight reaction.

He feared he might misspeak and alert Jiang Yi. Yet Jiang Yi perceived this demeanor as Jiang Chen keeping guard over him.

Jiang Yi said, "Every race has its own unique way; our race's way is useless to you."

Jiang Chen nodded, "You make a good point. Tell me, if you reach Super‑God Level, what will you do next? I need a reference."

Jiang Yi said, "After becoming Super‑God, I'll naturally seek a way to obtain the world."

At this point, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped, then shouted loudly, "You deceived me!"

"You're not from beyond the realm; you're a native of this world!"

"You lied to me, how dare you!"

Jiang Chen didn't know where he had slipped, but remained outwardly calm, "You must be mistaken. If I were a native of this world, how could I possess such a strong soul."

"I recall that when I was in the outside world, my realm should have been True God." Jiang Yi suddenly burst into laughter, "You've slipped again; a True God cannot descend into this world, the rules forbid it."

Jiang Chen realized he had misspoken again.

He knew his knowledge of the outside world was too scant; much was guesswork, and guessing wrong was normal.

The act was nearly over, Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice, "How did you know I was lying to you?"

Jiang Yi laughed, "Stop the act? Not acting is right; you fundamentally don't understand the outside world."

"But I won't tell you where I slipped, unless you let me go; otherwise you won't find out."

Since clashing with Jiang Chen, he finally gained the upper hand, looking extremely excited.

Jiang Chen watched him spiral into madness again and said lightly, "It must have been it that exposed me."

The soul form extended a hand and gently brushed the nearby Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal.

The Nine-colored Dragon Soul, a supreme treasure of the Dragon Race.

Since Jiang Yi comes from the outside world, they must be able to recognize it and surely know the principle that the Dragon Race never gives away the Nine-colored Dragon Soul.

The fact that Jiang Chen can obtain the Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal is enough to explain his relationship with Antares.

Anyone who can maintain a good relationship with Antares could never be an outsider. Jiang Chen still remembers that when Antares first mentioned Jiang Yi, their tone was slightly odd,

Antares clearly knew, but simply didn't say.

Moreover, the most important point is that just now Jiang Yi spent a second staring at the Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal.

Although Jiang Yi only looked for a second and concealed it well, Jiang Chen still caught it.

And even now, while laughing wildly and shouting that they won't tell Jiang Chen, their gaze inevitably drifts toward the Nine-colored Dragon Soul Crystal.

All these situations and details are telling Jiang Chen the answer without exception.

Jiang Yi's laughter abruptly stopped, and they seemed a bit shocked.

They clearly didn't say anything.

Now Jiang Yi's behavior further confirms Jiang Chen's speculation. Jiang Chen knows there's nothing more to ask.

"Since that's the case, then go die!"
