--- Chapter 210 ---

Countless notifications rang in Baek Ain's head, but he ignored it. As usual, Soul Protection (Unknown) gave him some skills, which means only a handful of Half-Saint Realm Experts stayed in this branch.

Baek Ain dragged Roc's Spine away and looked down at the messy land covered by thick dark-blue ice that used to be cliffside.

If no one witnessed Baek Ain's overkill technique earlier, everyone would have thought this place was 'literally' struck by a heavy snowstorm. There is a hint of surprise in Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes for a second, but that's it.

He only wanted to test his new strength and skill, so he expected them to be stronger than his base strength.

The [Spear God of Darkest Winter] is a powerful Passive Skill that allowed Baek Ain to draw Heaven and Earth's essence in the form of the darkest winter.

Not only did [Spear God of Darkest Winter] enhance Baek Ain's spear-wielding power by 500%, but the Passive Skill also granted his attack an immense destruction element known as Abstruse Dark Ice Force.

And Abstruse Dark Ice Force is a frightening law, even in the higher realm.

Not to mention, he hasn't counted two more passive skills that increased his spear-wielding ability, [Divine Armament Physique(Growth-Type)] and [All-Weapon Mastery(SSS)], to the mix. Both passive skills increased Baek Ain's strength universally.

"Hmm, I've definitely become much stronger than before..." Baek Ain said casually.

[Much stronger is still an understatement, Host] Alicia commented.

[Most people who went through 100 reincarnations didn't have fruitful harvests like you, though they are still growing stronger]

[I'd recommend you to start shaving off ineffective skills that don't help you anymore and pick the better ones as your primary arsenal]

[For example, a weapon-related skill like'Spear God of Darkest Night'is a good candidate for your primary arsenal]

"I don't think there are useless skills in my arsenal." Baek Ain returned as he knew himself the best. He couldn't just shave off his old accumulation because of the new ones.

[...]

[Uh, you're making this way more difficult than it should have been] Alicia sighed helplessly.

[Then, I recommend you integrate your old skills into your soul]

[But I have to warn you, this method is annoyingly demanding, and not many people can successfully do it]

"How demanding exactly?"

[...]

"Just say it."

[The skill must be SSS-grade or Growth-type]

[And then, one must refine the skills into stars and construct a new constellation]

Baek Ain's eyes widened for a second before calming down.

The condition is indeed demanding, but it is still doable. At the very least, Baek Ain didn't find it weird.

"I will try this method later." Baek Ain said with a smile. "For now, let's focus on the Hall of Souls."

As Baek Ain finished his words, the surviving members of the Hall of Souls came from the rubble. Their appearance is miserable, with battered bodies and bloodied robes.

They looked at Baek Ain fearfully, wondering why this god-like existence attacked them.

"W-Who are you!" Said one elder with a stutter.

"Our Hall of Souls doesn't seem to have enmity with you!"

Baek Ain chuckled, "Haha, that's where you're wrong."

"Your Hall of Souls do have enmity with me. You tried to touch my people a while ago and even sent your Protectors to my front door."

"If that wasn't a call for war, I don't know anymore."

"Oh yeah... I also hate you guys, so better call your other Protectors if you want to live." He added indifferently. These small fries are unappealing as they don't provide him with Soul Strengthening and Skills.

Simply put, they are too weak to be his prey.

At the same time, hearing Baek Ain's voice rang in the destroyed groove, one elder stood up in fear.

"H-He killed the Four Protectors. That can't be. The Protectors are also Dou Saints!" Hun Lie Bei, who received the support to ambush Baek Ain, was shocked.

"How could such a monster exist?"

Baek Ain used Ashen God's Eyes and surveyed the area. "Found you." A smirk formed on his face.

BAM!

Hun Lie Bei couldn't even react when Baek Ain appeared out of nowhere and choked his neck.

COUGH!

The Hall of Souls' elder coughed blood and appeared very pale.

"Hey, Hun Lie Bei." Baek Ain greeted him casually. "You might wonder how I know your name, but that's unimportant."

"What's more important is that I want you to contact other Protectors of your Hall of Souls so I can kill them for good."

Hun Lie Bei's eyes were bloodshot. "A-Are you crazy?"

"Why would I do that? Y-You Monster!"

Baek Ain indifferently sighed, "It seems you're getting the wrong idea here. I'm not asking you to do it. I'm ordering you..."

[Emperor of Parasite]

"AAAAAAARGHHHH!" Although Hun Lie Bei appeared 'normal' outside, Baek Ain's Emperor of Parasite fed upon his internal organs and transformed them into parasites.

Baek Ain kept Hun Lie Bei's mind wide awake when inflicting this painful transformation. In Hun Lie Bei's current eyes, Baek Ain looks like a vengeful devil.

Thud!

Baek Ain threw Hun Lie Bei to the ground, and the parasitized elder began using secret techniques to call other Protectors.

"Everything went smoothly so far." He commented.

He looked around and saw that his comrades in the surroundings already prevented the Hall of Souls' members from running away and killing them one-sidedly.

"The Protectors would only arrive after ten minutes or so." Baek Ain gazed somewhere in the destroyed groove. "Maybe I should browse the Hall of Souls' library if they still have one for me to check."

With that in mind, Baek Ain sat down and sent his upgraded Fire Shadow Envoys. After his clones arrived at the library, they discovered the place was still intact. It seemed they put the place in good importance as his clones discovered it layered with defensive formation arrays.

"Good." He said while ordering his clones to break the array and copy every Soul-related Technique. His [Parallel Thinking] ran through every piece of information and became stronger.

Ten minutes later.

[Ding! Parallel Thinking(S) has become Parallel Thinking(SS)]

At the same time, the parasitized Hun Lie Bei finally formed a connection with the Dark Spirit Realm and confessed that the Hall of Souls' Branch needed help.

He's crying blood while telling them that the Hall of Souls is on the verge of destruction. Of course, he's crying because his mind is aware that the Protectors are going to die in Baek Ain's hands soon, and he was the one who caused it.

Hun Lie Bei cursed Baek Ain's ten generations but couldn't do anything substantial. He was helpless when he saw Baek Ain brandishing his menacing white spear.

"Protector, hurry up!" Hun Lie Bei shouted at the top of his lungs.

'NO, DON'T COME HERE!'

"The Branch was about to get destroyed!"

'THERE IS A DEMON WAITING FOR YOU GUYS HERE!'

"Good job." Baek Ain grinned and readied Roc's Spine into a thrusting position.

[Spear-Blade Orbit]

[Light Illumination]

[Spear God of Darkest Winter]

"Hun Lie Bei, we are here!" A spatial vortex appeared, and six shadows stepped out dramatically. However, what greeted them was Hun Lie Bei's ugly face and a flashing, dark blue light.

SWOOOOSH! BOOOOOOM!!

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Soul' Elder Hun Lie Bei]

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Bing]

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Dong]

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Qin]

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Huang]

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Jing]

[Ding! You have heavily injured Hall of Souls' Protector Maise]

[Soul Protection(Unknown) activated]

[Your soul has become stronger]

[You have obtained a collective of memory and twelve new skills]

"Your brave action is appreciated." Baek Ain sighed when hearing a notification about Hun Lie Bei's death.

"Oh, one Protector is still alive."

Baek Ain walked to the dying Protector Maise carefreely and stood before him. "Hmm, your face is familiar... Ah, you're the one who killed Xun'er in my reincarnation." He put on a smile that's not a smile.

"W-Who are you?" Protector Maise gritted his teeth. He looked at Baek Ain with horror and anger.

"Hehe, I'm just a man on a mission." Baek Ain stretched his right hand to Protector Maise's face. "You're also a man on a mission, and your mission is to explode alongside Dark Spirit Realm."

[Emperor of Parasyte!]

Baek Ain activated [Emperor of Parasyte] again, turning Protector Maise into a living bomb. He grabbed the dying spirit and tossed him back to the spatial vortex.

"Explode alongside the Dark Spirit Realm, you scum." Baek Ain's cold voice rang in Protector Maise's head.

Far, far away.

In the Hun Clan's Realm, Protector Maise bulged into a ball of flesh and returned to the underground cave inside the Dark Spirit Realm.

He fell onto the pond of blood and roared, "DAMN YOU!"

Splash!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A pillar of blood rose inside the Hun Clan's Realm, harming everyone inside it.

Back to the Hall of Souls' branch, Baek Ain wiped his hand clean and waited for Protector Maise's kill notification.

[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Maise]

[Soul Protection(Unknown) activated]

[Your soul has become stronger]

[You have obtained Protector Maise's memory and two new passive skills]

[Ding! You have cleared the'Cleaning the World's Filths II'quest]

[Name:Cleaning the World's Filths II]

[Rewarding 6x Random Soul-type Technique]

[Ding! You have triggered'Cleaning the World's Filth III'Quest]

[Objective: Eliminate the Hall of Souls' Deputy Chief, Chief, and Tianzuns and (0/11)]

[Do you want to accept the Chain Quest?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes." Baek Ain accepted the quest right away.

"With this... Only the Hall of Souls' Main Branch and Hun Clan are left."

He looked at the sunny sky and smiled, "What a good day to eradicate evil."

Soon, the news spread all over the Dou Qi Continent.

Hall of Souls' Second Branch was 'completely' destroyed.
