51: Chapter 51 The Undying Soul Flame!

Li Xiangqiang wore a sincere smile on his face, signaling the customer service representative to begin the verification process.

As a blue light swept across Lu Yin's identity terminal, the transaction was completed quickly.

Lu Yin's account balance instantly became 530 million star essence.

"Pleasure doing business with you."

Li Xiangqiang handed over a gold-inlaid business card: "If you have any needs in the future, you can contact me directly."

"Alright."

Lu Yin replied.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Yin did not linger.

Li Xiangqiang personally escorted him to the entrance of the Professional Association, his attitude remaining incredibly enthusiastic.

"Mr. Lu, if you have anything you need to sell or buy in the future, please be sure to prioritize our association."

Lu Yin merely nodded indifferently, then turned and walked away, his figure quickly merging into the flow of people on the street, disappearing after a few turns.

Li Xiangqiang stood at the entrance, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a look of deep contemplation.

"Eighteen years old, just awakened, and already able to produce equipment worth 500 million... The grade span of this batch of equipment clearly isn't something an individual could easily obtain."

"Is there a faction supporting him from behind the scenes, or... has his personal strength already reached an unimaginable level?"

Li Xiangqiang rubbed his eyes; regardless of which possibility was true, this Lu Yin was absolutely worth the association's heavy investment.

"It seems I need to make a special report about this situation to my superiors."

Leaving the trading association, Lu Yin headed straight home.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lu Xun's voice.

"You're back? Did you complete the mission?"

"Of course I did."

Lu Yin smiled proudly.

He had left a note for Lu Xun at the time, only telling him he had a mission, but he hadn't mentioned it was a military mission.

After all, his parents had sacrificed their lives in the military, and he was afraid that mentioning the military would remind his grandfather of some bad memories.

"Mm, as long as it's done. You must be hungry, I'll make you something to eat."

After a simple meal with Lu Xun, Lu Yin dived straight into his room.

He took out the handheld terminal he had just acquired from his inventory and searched directly for the undying soul fire.

The product page popped up instantly, and that flame icon was still burning quietly.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and, without hesitation, clicked "Buy Now."

【Ding! Detected that the owner possesses the Mechanical Guardian title; you are eligible for a 10% discount. Would you like to use it?】

【After selecting, you will need to pay 270 million star essence!】

"Yes."

The moment Lu Yin selected "Yes," a teleportation formation pattern shone from the back of the handheld terminal.

The formation branded a pattern onto the floor, flashing with light.

A ball of soul fire emitting a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared before Lu Yin's eyes.

The undying soul fire floated in mid-air, rotating slowly.

It radiated a warm and powerful energy fluctuation, and the air in the room seemed to distort slightly because of it.

Lu Yin suppressed his nervous thoughts and slowly brought his palm close to the flame to activate his skill.

"Death Soul Extraction!"

Hum!

The next second, the undying soul fire suddenly erupted with blinding light, and the system's notification sound rang in Lu Yin's mind.

【Ding! Extraction successful, obtained mythic grade death soul!】

Hearing the system's voice, Lu Yin was instantly filled with immense excitement!

His hypothesis was correct; he had truly extracted the mythic grade death soul he wanted from the undying soul fire!

This didn't just mean he had simply acquired a mythic grade death soul.

It meant he had directly opened a brand-new door for the Death Monarch class.

"Who... who is it..."

But just as Lu Yin was feeling extremely excited, a majestic voice suddenly rang out abruptly in the room.

Lu Yin's heart jolted, and his muscles instantly tensed up.

That voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying an aura that made one's heart tremble.

"Who... who is it..."

Just as Lu Yin was searching for the source of the voice, it rang out again, much clearer than before, and with a hint of confusion.

And this time, Lu Yin clearly heard the source of the voice; it was exactly the mythic grade death soul he had just extracted!

That mythic grade death soul floating in the air emitted a brilliant golden light.

It was still pulsating rhythmically, just like a living heart.

Lu Yin's pupils constricted slightly; he immediately realized that this mythic grade death soul...

...did not seem to be pure energy; it actually contained some kind of ancient consciousness!

"Is it you, speaking?!"

Lu Yin stared intently at the soul of death in front of him, speaking with doubt and astonishment.

"I am the Undying Sword God, who... are you?"

That ancient voice seemed to come from the other side of distant time and space, carrying a hint of scrutiny and confusion.

The golden soul fire pulsed even more violently, its intense aura making the air in the entire room seem to freeze.

Lu Yin's heart shook violently, but he forced himself to remain calm on the surface.

He held his breath and responded in a deep voice.

"I am the Death Monarch, controlling the power of death and souls. Lost ancient soul, from now on, you shall obey my commands."

"Death... Monarch..."

The consciousness within the undying soul fire murmured in a low voice, seemingly sensing that it was being constrained by some irresistible force.

Lu Yin also recalled in his heart the words that consciousness had spoken.

"Undying... Sword God..."

The next moment, Lu Yin was instantly stunned.

The Undying Sword God, a hero of China from ten thousand years ago!

He once fought against billions of Abyssal Demons single-handedly in the starry sky to protect the human mothership.

In the end, the mothership successfully evacuated, while the Undying Sword God fell due to exhaustion.

Unexpectedly, his remnant soul had turned into this undying soul fire, and by such a coincidence, it was obtained by Lu Yin.

"Master, you have actually obtained the mythic grade death soul so quickly."

Just as Lu Yin was deep in shock, Yarberna appeared out of nowhere.

Lu Yin turned his head at the sound, only to see Yarberna, with an expression of surprise and joy on her beautiful face, gazing intensely at the pulsing golden soul fire.

"Do you know the function of the mythic grade death soul?"

Upon seeing Yarberna, Lu Yin asked.

Yarberna nodded.

"Of course, the mythic grade death soul is formed from the condensed soul of a mythical-grade Professional, containing the power and memories they had during their lifetime."

"Every mythic grade death soul is a unique existence."

"They can use your power to achieve resurrection and raise their levels back to their former peak state."

"The only downside is that their growth will siphon off a portion of your experience points, similar to teaming up with other Professionals."

"But compared to the combat power they gain after growing up, it seems insignificant."

Listening to Yarberna's explanation, Lu Yin's breathing gradually became rapid, his heart pounding wildly, almost as if it were about to burst through his chest.

Resurrecting a mythical-grade Professional? Returning to their peak?

These words exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, leaving him momentarily dazed.

He had originally thought that the mythic grade death soul would at most allow him to summon a powerful Death Soldier that possessed some of their former abilities.

Yet he never expected that one of the ultimate abilities of the Death Monarch class...

...was actually to make the mythical-grade powerhouses of history... reappear in the world!

What did this mean?

It meant that in the future, he could possess a group of subordinates who once stood at the peak of humanity, a group of living legends!

A group of transcendent beings possessing full growth potential and wisdom!

This had completely transcended the category of summoned creatures!

This was truly, genuinely heaven-defying!
