Chapter 531: The Unmatched Cultivator
"Do you think it’ll work now that I know you target souls? I’m a cultivator who surpassed the Soul Transformation Realm. I have no weakness!"
Lin Yao’s amused snort echoed as his blade, a stream of silver, flashed back to meet the spectral scythe.

Their weapons collided, the impact sending a tremor shaking Ossian’s soul to its core.
Despite his muted stupor and the dangerous counter-attack he would face, the ghost emperor scanned the man, bypassing his body to look at his soul. And what he saw caused his neck to tense, pupils to constrict and shoulders to shudder.
"How is your soul fused to your body?!"
He had seen millions of different sane and evil ghosts. Regular humans and beasts counted in the billions in his millennia-long life. Yet, he had never seen a soul and living body that had become one!
That should have never happened! These two entities complemented and protected each other. But Lin Yao did it somehow. Even worse, with how thoroughly they were fused, his advantage on the field, and his devastating soul attacks became jokes because... Lin Yao could be considered a living ghost emperor.
"How are you so powerful? What kind of monster are you?!"
His voice cracked, terror and unwillingness melding in it as his arms gave in and his feet left the ground.
His body pierced the wind like a bullet as he flew in the distance for the second time.
