Chapter 259 Dragon Soul Speaks
“Kid, don’t get too cocky!” Butch Ghost’s expression was fierce and his tone was menacing. “My methods are not something you can fathom.”
“Is that so?” Lachlan sneered, his tone impatient. “I’m done playing with you!” As he spoke, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted from him.
Boom!
The next second, accompanied by a loud noise, the entire McLaughlin Residence shook.
Pulse of the Earth!
With one foot stomping down on the ground, Lachlan caused it to split apart and an immense power surged in all directions. The Eight-Gate Illusion Array’s aura was immediately disrupted and dispersed.
The distorted and blurry scene in Lachlan’s eyes became clear once again as he broke through the Eight-Gate Illusion Array with an overwhelmingly dominant force.
Kristina and Darwin stared at the cracked ground in shock while Butch Ghost spewed out blood from being hit by his own trap. His face turned even paler as he looked at Lachlan incredulously.
“How did you break through my Eight-Gate Illusion Array?” He asked fearfully.
“How… how is this possible?”
Standing there emitting a terrifying aura, Lachlan declared arrogantly, “All crooked ways are meaningless before absolute strength. This is called breaking law with force!”
After all, no matter how sophisticated a formation was set up, it ultimately relied on energy fields formed between heaven and earth. As long as there was enough powerful energy whose might surpasses that of the formation itself then it can be forcibly destroyed just like what happened here today.
Of course, if someone who could lay down an Eight-Gate Illusion Array had strength comparable to that of Lachlan, then this method would not work either.
“Breaking law with force? Breaking law with force? What kind of strength do you have?” Butch Ghost asked incredulously.
“Adequate enough to kill you,” replied Lachlan coldly while his starry eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The bloodthirsty light emanating from this evil cultivator along with his thick resentment showed how many people he must have harmed before; such wicked people deserved nothing less than death!
However, at this moment, something strange appeared on Butch Ghost’s face – a sly smile!
Swish!
From his embrace, he suddenly pulled out a dark token.
With the power of his mind, a distorted illusion swiftly floated towards Lachlan.
Then, in an eerie manner, it vanished inside Lachlan’s body!
He had purposely shown a look of shock earlier to deceive Lachlan and make him lower his guard. This was his ultimate move!
Lachlan, who was about to kill Butch Ghost, suddenly stopped moving in an eerie manner. In that moment, he heard a piercing scream in his mind that made him feel like his soul was under attack.
Butch Ghost had summoned an evil spirit that directly attacked Lachlan’s soul. It was an extremely vicious move that could even destroy Lachlan’s soul completely.
At this moment, fear and despair rose up within Lachlan’s soul as he faced this unstoppable spiritual attack with no way to defend himself.
He seemed to have been hit for real this time! Was it over? Was he going to die?
Nora’s curse hadn’t been lifted yet; revenge for his parents hadn’t been taken yet; and now he had fallen into the hands of an evil practitioner! He really was too weak after all.
He never thought that just encountering someone who knew these dark arts could lead to his demise!
However, at this critical moment, a loud dragon roar suddenly echoed in Lachlan’s mind which instantly revitalized him. Then the evil spirit invading into his mind was sucked away by some force.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Kid, you’re still so weak?” A majestic voice spoke with ancient vigor as if it carried eons of history within its tone.
“Only just breaking through Uppecia? Your spiritual cultivation is also terrible!” The voice continued disdainfully, “How did someone like you get my inheritance?”
Next came another powerful voice filled with grandeur, “I should be your ancestor but now I’m only left with remnants of my divine essence! I hoped you would become stronger soon so I can truly revive myself but now… hmph!”
The voice then changed its tone, “Help me find more souls like this one for me to absorb so I can awaken sooner! Did you hear me?”
Lachlan felt shocked deep down inside. When he fainted before hearing voices, it wasn’t just hallucinations after all!
There were remnants of someone else’s divine essence hidden within himself?
This was too horrifying!
“Do you expect me to continue searching for souls for you to absorb in the future? Am I that foolish?”
“What if you awaken and consume my soul, then take over my body?”
“You helping me search for souls has benefits for you too!” The remnant soul of the “Dragon God” seemed to know what Lachlan was thinking and coldly snorted.
“Oh? What benefits do I get?” Lachlan asked without committing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lachlan felt a wave of movement in his soul. A sword suddenly condensed in his sea of consciousness.
“This is a sword spirit that I created using a bit of your soul power! It can help defend against attacks on the spiritual level, like those evil spirits earlier. They won’t be able to harm you anymore.”
“As your strength increases, this sword spirit will become more powerful. In fact, if you obtain a suitable weapon in the future, you can infuse this sword spirit into it and make it an instrument spirit!”
“A weapon with an instrument spirit will unleash far greater power than what one could imagine!”
Lachlan felt excited after hearing this news.
“That’s amazing! What kind of weapons are suitable?” He communicated with it through his thoughts but received no response this time around.
“What’s going on with him?” Butch Ghost walked up to Lachlan while wearing an eerie expression on his face as he saw him standing still without any movement.
“Mr. Ghost, what’s wrong with him?” Kristina asked curiously.
Darwin also stared at Lachlan eagerly, “No reaction? Did he die or something? Haha…”
Butch Ghost sneered but nodded, “Why not? He really is dead now! And completely destroyed both physically and spiritually.”
He looked at Lachlan mockingly, “Kid, I told you before that my methods were beyond your understanding.”
Just as Butch Ghost finished speaking, however, Lachlan suddenly opened his eyes wide open; sharp glints shot out from them like stars shining brightly in space.
“I also said before, all these crooked ways are meaningless when faced with absolute strength!”
