362: Fight the Soul Eater Again

Qin Shilei immediately understood that he had asked the wrong question.

The location of the Space Rift must be known to all Soul-Devouring Demons.

He quickly said, "I was just lectured by the leader, so my head is a bit muddled."

The Soul-Devouring Demon looked at Qin Shilei suspiciously, said nothing more, and turned to enter a tall building ahead.

Qin Shilei looked at the tall building in front of him.

He thought to himself, "This Soul-Devouring Demon must have gone in to deliver food to their so-called leader."

"This means there must be one or several Golden Realm Soul-Devouring Demons inside."

"I haven't figured out their true strength yet, so it's not wise to alert them."

Having made up his mind, Qin Shilei retreated and hid, waiting for the Soul-Devouring Demon to reappear.

Indeed, not long after, the Soul-Devouring Demon flew out again.

Qin Shilei followed the other party out of Lingquan City and arrived at a dense forest.

"Who is it? Get out now!"

As soon as it flew into the dense forest, the Soul-Devouring Demon turned around and shouted loudly.

Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!

Qin Shilei floated out from behind a giant tree, flew in front of the other party, and then fully used his illusion technique to control it.

As he used power beyond the mask, he once again returned to his human form.

The Soul-Devouring Demon opposite him also became dazed.

Qin Shilei put his mask back on and asked, "Where is the Space Rift in Lingquan City?"

"In the basement of a tall building, and the leaders are guarding it there."

"Is that where you just delivered food?"

"Yes."

"How many leaders do you have, and what is their strength?"

"There are eight leaders in total, one of whom seems to be missing. They are all of varying Golden Realm strength."

"Are they all guarding the Space Rift?"

"They take turns guarding the Space Rift, usually three or four are there."

"Why do they guard it there?"

"They want to capture low-level demons coming from the Abyss, and most importantly, to capture Andrei's clone, who is most likely to come. Also, to observe the Space Rift's condition; once it expands enough for demon lords to pass through, we must retreat immediately."

"How many clones do you have in total, and what are their strengths?"

"We can split into a maximum of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clones, and their strengths have all reached the Silver Realm."

Under Qin Shilei's control, the Soul-Devouring Demon told him everything it knew.

He then asked the other party about the Abyss World.

The Abyss is vast and boundless, a world where the strong prey on the weak.

This Soul-Devouring Demon originally had Diamond Realm cultivation, living next to Andrei.

In one battle, it was beaten by the other party until only a wisp of its soul remained, allowing it to escape into the Space Rift and come to Blue Star.

The other side of the Space Rift is the border between Andrei's and this Soul-Devouring Demon's territories.

Qin Shilei also knew that these Soul-Devouring Demon clones could not transmit information over long distances but could share information with each other when they met.

Golden Soul-Devouring Demons could also summon all clones within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius through a certain spell.

"Then you can die."

After asking everything he wanted to know, Qin Shilei struck the other party with a thunderbolt, turning it to ashes and disappearing into the air.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine clones; if even one escapes, it is very likely to grow back into a complete Soul-Devouring Demon.

Only by devising a plan to capture a Golden Realm Soul-Devouring Demon, making it summon all its clones back, and then wiping them all out in one go, could these Soul-Devouring Demons be eliminated once and for all.

Having made up his mind, Qin Shilei began searching around Lingquan City, hoping to encounter a Golden Soul-Devouring Demon out hunting.

A day passed, and he didn't encounter a Golden Soul-Devouring Demon, but he killed hundreds of Silver Realm Soul-Devouring Demons.

These weak Soul-Devouring Demons were all blasted into ashes by his thunderbolt.

After resting for a night, Qin Shilei once again transformed into a Soul-Devouring Demon and began searching outside Lingquan City.

There were about three or four Golden Soul-Devouring Demons active outside Lingquan City.

Their activity range was within about five hundred kilometers around Lingquan City.

It was truly not easy to encounter a Golden Soul-Devouring Demon in such a vast area.

Another day passed, and Qin Shilei still hadn't encountered a Golden Soul-Devouring Demon.

"The activity range of these Soul-Devouring Demons seems to be getting larger and larger. I'll search for one more day tomorrow; if I still can't find a Golden Soul-Devouring Demon, I'll go straight to the Space Rift."

Although there were at least three Golden Soul-Devouring Demons at the Space Rift, with the mystic jade pendant, he still had the confidence to investigate.

The third day.

Qin Shilei once again transformed into a Soul-Devouring Demon and began searching outside Lingquan City.

In fact, he had killed nearly a thousand Soul-Devouring Demons in two consecutive days, which had already attracted the attention of those Golden Soul-Devouring Demons.

Qin Shilei had just flown a few tens of kilometers when he encountered over a hundred Soul-Devouring Demons gathered together.

"Hey, what's your number? Why are you still acting alone?"

The leading Soul-Devouring Demon shouted loudly.

"I am the one who sends you to hell."

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he controlled the phantom hidden in the shadows to fly out.

Devouring Thunder!

Violent heavenly lightning enveloped the group of Soul-Devouring Demons.

"Ah!"

The group of Soul-Devouring Demons only had time to let out a few screams before being blasted into nothingness by the heavenly lightning.

"Where have your companions and enemies gone?"

After Qin Shilei collected all the treasure chests on the ground, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Qin Shilei turned his head and saw another Soul-Devouring Demon.

A Golden Soul-Devouring Demon he had been searching for for three days.

He hadn't expected this Golden Soul-Devouring Demon to approach him within twenty meters so silently.

Qin Shilei pretended to be bewildered and said, "What enemy? I haven't seen any."

At the same time, he secretly controlled the phantom to slowly fly towards the Soul-Devouring Demon from a distance.

Perhaps the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the phantom's flight attracted the Soul-Devouring Demon's attention.

It turned around and let out a sharp howl, "Ah!"

Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!

Soul attacks were useless against a phantom summoned by a special skill; instead, the phantom took the opportunity to set up an illusion to envelop the other party.

A trace of confusion appeared in the Soul-Devouring Demon's eyes, but it quickly broke free from the illusion's influence.

As expected of a Soul-Devouring Demon that specifically feeds on souls, this type of attack on the soul level had very limited effect on it.

Qin Shilei had long anticipated this situation and once again controlled the phantom to unleash Devouring Thunder towards the other party.

As soon as the extremely strong and pure heavenly lightning appeared, fear was clearly visible in the Soul-Devouring Demon's eyes, and it turned to flee into the distance.

The attack range of Devouring Thunder was a full one hundred meters, but the Soul-Devouring Demon's flying speed was not as fast as the phantom's. It tried to break through several times but was always unable to escape the bombardment of Devouring Thunder.

"Ah!"

The Soul-Devouring Demon howled loudly while sending a purple flame floating towards the phantom.

It was that strange flame again.

However, Qin Shilei was not flustered at all this time. He controlled the phantom to constantly move quickly while unleashing thunder dragons towards the Soul-Devouring Demon.

No matter how strange the flame was, as long as it didn't hit him, it posed no threat.

Qin Shilei estimated that in another two minutes, he would be able to wear down the gray protective spiritual energy emanating from the Soul-Devouring Demon's body, then heavily injure it, and then try to control it.

But just as he had this thought, he suddenly noticed countless illusory figures rapidly approaching.

Qin Shilei's mind stirred. He flew into the air and saw thousands of Soul-Devouring Demons flying over from all directions, among them two that were clearly different from the rest, unmistakably Golden Soul-Devouring Demons.
