If he was not careful, Star Demon Ancestor’s soul would collapse and he would die.

“If it were an ordinary cultivator, an ordinary soul body would not be able to attempt it. However, I am different. My soul body is born with the ability to split. I can split my soul into two. One will remain in my main body while the other will attempt it according to that path. In the end, the split soul will be annihilated not long after I attempt it.”

“As soon as the soul was destroyed, my main body’s soul immediately sensed it, and the memory of that soul also returned to my main body. Although I lost a part of my soul, I have accumulated some experience. It only takes a certain amount of time for me to recover and divide again.”

!!

“In this way, I tried hundreds of times over the long period of dozens of chaos cycles. Finally, I succeeded! The soul that I divided escaped from the Eternal Dark Prison.” Star Demon Ancestor smiled.

Jian Wushuang remained silent.

He did not expect Star Demon to have such a special ability. He could split his soul into two. Even if one of the two was destroyed, his memory would immediately return to his original body.

With this ability, Star Demon had tried hundreds of times in the Eternal Dark Prison, but he still succeeded.

Of course, Star Demon Ancestor was not lucky to escape. He had worked hard for hundreds of chaos cycles, tried again and again after his soul split, and tried again and again to repair his soul.

If it were anyone else, even if they found the gap, they would not be able to escape from the Eternal Dark Prison.

Jian Wushuang sighed and continued to listen to Star Demon Ancestor’s story.

“After my split soul escaped from the Eternal Dark Prison, it came to this Star Field. Then, I directly possessed a Principles Master and roamed this Star Field for a period of time. After having a sufficient understanding of this Star Field, my split soul directly used burning annihilation,” Star Demon Ancestor said.

“Burning soul?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

The split soul had already escaped, so why did he choose Soul Burn.

“Keke!” Star Demon Ancestor laughed strangely, “I can’t help it. The split soul that I used to escape only took 20% of my original soul, and there was no treasure in my hand. Naturally, I won’t let this soul replace my original body. Therefore, after the split soul was destroyed and my memory returned to my original body, I began to prepare.”

“This time, I’ve prepared well. I’ve restored my soul to its peak condition. However, there are always exceptions. I don’t dare to bet everything on this. That’s why I’ve divided my soul into ten percent and left it on my divine body. My core soul body has abandoned my divine body and brought my treasures to enter that path.”

“I was right to be cautious. Although I had tried hundreds of times and had a chance to succeed, the danger in the last passage was too great. Even though my soul body was careful, it still encountered a disaster in the passage. As a result, many of my treasures were lost in the spatial turbulence, and my soul body was severely injured even though it escaped.”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang’s pupils constricted.

No wonder he did not get any valuable treasures from Star Demon Ancestor after killing him in the Eternal Dark Prison.

It turned out that Star Demon Ancestor, whom he met in the Eternal Dark Prison, was only a split soul with a divine body. As for the treasures, they were all taken away by his original soul body, and when he escaped from the Eternal Dark Prison…all of these treasures had been lost.

“Those lost treasures are still fine. Although there are a few principle true treasures and a few extremely precious items, as long as I can escape, I will have many opportunities to obtain treasures again in the future. However, the crux of the matter is that my soul body was severely injured. This is my original soul body, not a split soul body. The price of such a severe injury to my soul back then was very difficult for me to bear.”

“More importantly, this Star Field is located at the very edge of the universe. It is lacking in resources, and the quality of its cultivators is pitifully low. My soul has suffered such a severe injury, and I am unable to recover for a time. First, I possessed a Principles Master, and then I possessed a Ruler who had rushed over from another Star Field. This Ruler is the Sorcerer God.”

“Later on, I used my identity as the Sorcerer God to temporarily stay in this Star Field. At the same time, I was looking for an opportunity to recover my soul. However, with such scarce resources, even after spending millions or even tens of millions of years, my soul has only recovered a tiny bit. I know that it’s impossible to recover my soul with normal means, so I can only think of ways to devour other people’s souls!”

“You can recover your soul by devouring it.” Star Demon Ancestor’s eyes were shining with a fierce light.

Jian Wushuang stared at Star Demon Ancestor. On the battlefield, many experts from both sides were also looking at Star Demon Ancestor. No one came forward to interrupt him.

“In fact, devouring other people’s souls to recover and even improve my own soul is my best skill. In the Eternal Dark Prison, I used to devour the souls of prisoners to recover. But unlike the Eternal Dark Prison, the level of cultivators in this star area is too low. There are very few first-level masters and most of them are just Principles Masters.”

“The soul of a Ruler of principles probably requires thousands or even tens of thousands of souls to be comparable to the soul of a third-level Ruler of Eternal Darkness Prison. This is far from enough for me, who has suffered severe soul injuries. Therefore, I turned my gaze to those high-level lifeforms, especially the special lifeforms.” Star Demon ancestor smiled.

“Those high-level races, lifeforms, and even special lifeforms have souls that are completely different from ordinary human cultivators. To me, devouring the soul and divine body of a high-level lifeform is more useful than devouring the souls of hundreds of Ruler of principles. and devouring a special lifeform is comparable to devouring a second-or even third-level Ruler.”
