Chapter 140

"How could this be...... What's going on here!"

"Aaaah...... Li She...... you bastard! Why are you clinging to my body? My bones are about to break......"

At the same moment, the two monstrous beast emperors let out agonized screams.

But within a very short time, they realized the injuries on each other’s bodies—strangely familiar.

"This is...... the mark of my Dragon Flame burn, and...... these wounds on him"

Black-Plated Dragon Emperor swallowed hard.

He stared at the burn mark on Old Snake Emperor Li She’s head.

And the wounds all over his body—clearly torn by his own claws and fangs...... The Black-Plated Dragon Emperor’s brows twitched sharply twice.

Stunned into silence.

He even began to doubt whether he was now trapped in an illusion. "How could this be......"

Li She likewise stared blankly at the Black-Plated Dragon Emperor, watching his own body tightly coiled around the dragon emperor’s, nearly crushing all of his bones.

Su Han wore a smile at the corner of his mouth as he slowly walked toward them.

As he walked, he patiently explained.

"Clearly, you two were just killing each other!"

"How could this be......"

"Just now, it was clearly......"

Pausing slightly, ignoring both of them, the blade in Su Han’s hand emitted a faint glow.

Su Han surveyed the two monstrous beasts before him, his voice gradually turning icy.

"But gentlemen, I have an experiment... I can’t ask you to leave your souls behind."

"I want to see if your physical forms in the Underworld will die if your souls remain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the next instant, the terrifying Zanpakutō sliced through the air.

The two Emperor-level monsters instantly felt their hair stand on end; they sensed ominous danger.

Without hesitation, both Emperor-level beasts severed their connection with their spirit mediums immediately and retreated back into the Underworld realm.

But just like how the Earth Bear Emperor hadn’t managed to escape in time earlier.

They were too late—their souls were violently ripped apart.

Their agonized screams abruptly cut off.

Watching the two mountain-sized monstrous beasts vanish before him, Su Han sighed regretfully.

Yet he said nothing more.

Glancing briefly at the two Abyss Reincarnates now frozen in place.

Though they were dazed and disoriented.

Compared to that dead Abyss Reincarnate earlier, they were still alive.

"I wonder if I can get a bit more useful information!"

Su Han muttered, and the Zanpakutō in his hand suddenly flashed with a faint light.

The light instantly merged into the bodies of the two Abyss Reincarnates, whose faces froze in blank stupor.

They were directly hypnotized.

Su Han stepped forward and questioned each Abyss Reincarnate one by one.

But Su Han didn’t gain much... information from these two Abyss Reincarnates.

Why attack Su Han? That was what the Underworld Beast Emperors demanded.

As long as they fulfilled this demand, they might gain equal standing with the Beast Emperors.

They could use the power of the Beast Emperors to dominate the Spiritual Energy World.

Of course, in Su Han’s eyes, this was purely the Abyss Reincarnates being used by the Beast Emperors.

Unlike in the world of Starting from Zero.

In the world of Starting from Zero, the Abyss Reincarnates clearly held dominance.

But just now, it was clearly the three Beast Emperors who held dominance.

These Abyss Reincarnates were merely tools.

Just now, they had completely lost control over that power.

They had been exploited.

The spirit-linking ability Su Han discovered matched his earlier guess quite closely.

It came with severe limitations.

To harness the strength of a powerful being, not only did the target need to consent, but the user’s spirit-linking level also needed to be high enough.

"Truly disappointing!"

Su Han sighed lightly, then waved his hand.

The two Reincarnates immediately turned their heads and killed themselves.

Died by suicide.

Glancing at the chaotic battlefield, Su Han shook his head.

With Observation Sense sweeping the area, he knew there was nothing worth collecting as spoils.

"If that’s the case, then I should return first."

Su Han activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, vanishing instantly from the battlefield and returning to his room.

Lam and Rem, who had been anxiously waiting inside the room, startled when they saw Su Han appear—then their faces lit up with joy.

"Master!"

"Master, it's truly wonderful that you're safe and unharmed."

Su Han smiled slightly, nodding toward Lei Mu and La Mu.

He spoke lightly, as if brushing it aside.

"Don't worry—let alone three mere 3rd-grade ferocious beasts, even ten 10th-grade or eight 8th-grade ones wouldn't stand a chance against me."

This wasn't boasting; Su Han truly believed it.

Hearing this, La Mu nodded seriously, "I knew my master was the strongest!"

"Right now, I'll go prepare a victory feast for my master!"

La Mu bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Lei Mu hesitated for a moment, then lifted her skirt and performed a maid’s bow toward Su Han.

"Then, Master, Lei Mu will go assist my sister."

Watching the two maids leave, a faint smile curled at Su Han’s lips.

But soon afterward, his gaze returned to his own hands.

The Zanpakuto flickered slightly, and three shattered souls appeared in his palm.

"Well, at least there's some gain..."

Su Han murmured, and the Zanpakuto instantly ground those three broken souls into nothingness.

They transformed into pure soul energy, nourishing Su Han’s spirit.

Su Han closed his eyes and subtly sensed.

He immediately realized that after consuming the pure soul energy, his spiritual strength had increased by about 11.

Though not much, it was essentially free gain.

Su Han was already satisfied.

But soon, a slight frown creased Su Han’s brow.

Some new information had entered his mind.

"These details are... the coordinates of the Underground World."

After processing it, Su Han’s pupils flickered slightly.

He understood the purpose of the coordinates.

If Su Han wished, he could now use them to enter the Underground World where the three Great Ferocious Beast Emperors resided.

Yet after pondering for a while, Su Han shook his head, abandoning this highly tempting idea.

"I can't be sure whether my combat power would drop if I entered the Underground World."

"And besides... I know very little about the Underground World."

Su Han turned and stared out the window, his expression calm, yet his words faintly hinting at a trace of killing intent.
