Chapter 573 Revealed Secrets
"What do you mean 'act as I please?' I was just punishing a dishonest subordinate on your behalf, Immortal Lycan King. A subordinate who lies to his master deserves death," Jade Soul King replied nonchalantly, preparing to extract information directly from Thyrius's soul.
Suddenly, Balmodan had made a preemptive move at Jade Soul King, clawing at the hand that held Thyrius's soul—only for the latter to block it with a bone shield cloaked in eerie green flames.
Boom!
The Great Hall suddenly resonated and shook violently from the powerful impact of their clash. However, the rebounding force pushed back neither side.
Balmodan exerted more force on the green-flaming bone shield but did not budge it. At the same time, Jade Soul King increased the power of his green-flaming bone shield but also failed to force Balmodan back.
The two were locked in a stalemate, with neither side losing to the other.
Rumble…!
The ground shook with low, reverberating tremors.
Before long, cracks formed underneath Balmodan's feet as the weight of the clashing forces traveled into the ground. With each additional exertion of physical might, the fractured floor expanded further and further, reaching the corners of the Great Hall.
"Kekeke, why are you so angry, Immortal Lycan King? He was just a mere subordinate," Jade Soul King chuckled eerily, antagonizing Balmodan before asking, "There's no need to harm our relationship over him, don't you think?"
"He wasn't just a mere subordinate! He was a semi-divine being who over him, don't you think?"
"He wasn't just a mere subordinate! He was a semi-divine being who had inherited some of my bloodline! That makes him a descendant of mine! Even if he has to be punished, only I have the right to punish him! Not you, Jade Soul King!" Balmodan roared.
He exerted even more force to break the green-flaming bone shield, which only resulted in further damage to the Great Hall's floor.
At the same time, Jade Soul King bought more than enough time to extract the memories from Thyrius's soul.
As such, all of Thyrius's information regarding Pangea entered his sea of consciousness.
"Kekeke, so that's the real reason behind your attack, Immortal Lycan King," Jade Soul King chuckled before suddenly snorting, "Hmph!"
With a flick of his wrist, a tremendous surge of power channeled into the green-flaming bone shield, greatly pushing against Balmodan's claws.
Boom!
Balmodan was finally forced to retreat several paces as his claw separated from the green-flaming bone shield.
However, the rebounding force also forced Jade Soul King back.
The Jade Soul King's bone throne collapsed into a pile of broken bones in the process. But shortly after, the broken bones reformed, 07:38
forging a bone staff with a crown cage containing an orb of green flames within.
Jade Soul King grabbed his bone staff and slammed the ground, causing an outburst of green flames to run along the fractured floor. The green flames covered the floor around the Jade Soul King, forming a sea of green flames and becoming part of his domain.
Within the Jade Soul King's domain, he could use his power as he pleased, which gave him an advantage over everyone entering it.
"Summoning your domain so soon, Jade Soul King? Are you afraid of me?" Balmodan grimly asked as his surroundings surged with cool, white streaks of moonlight that also had a tinge of crimson in the mix.
Rumble…!
Within moments, a beam of concentrated moonlight suddenly descended from above the Undying Devil Palace. It passed through the Great Hall's transparent ceiling and slammed into the ground around Balmodan.
In that instant, time seemed to flow backward in slow motion as the beam of concentrated moonlight bounced off the surface of the floor and scattered into floating particles of moonlight.
They looked like rising raindrops.
These floating particles of moonlight soon converged within Balmodan's body, significantly increasing his physical attributes.
The entire phenomenon was part of Balmodan's support-type domain, which differed from Jade Soul King's attack-type domain.
Balmodan had summoned his domain in response to Jade Soul King summoning his.
It appeared like a big fight between these two Peak Rank 6 divine beings could break out at any given moment. Neither side wanted to be at a disadvantage due to being ill-prepared if it did.
However, Jade Soul King still had a calm expression—not that people could tell from his skinless, bony face.
"Kekeke, since I learned Gehenna's great secret, I doubt you'll just let me leave scot-free, Immortal Lycan King," Jade Soul King stated before suddenly adding, "However, I must say I'm surprised."
"I didn't expect Gehenna to be so poor that they would put great importance on such a barren world. A world without spirit energy has little to no value. Well, I suppose the abundant toxic seawater is somewhat useful for refining poison, among other things."
"Still, I doubt that's enough to be of interest to the seven Great Devils of Gehenna," Jade Soul King mentioned as he fished for more information.
Even after perusing the information from Thyrius's soul, Pangea did not appear the least bit valuable to him.
However, the Seven Great Devils' interest in Pangea piqued his interest.
Thus, Pangea must have some other hidden secrets not included in the information he acquired from the soul of the Immortal Lycan King's subordinate.
"Hmph, so what if it's a barren world?" Balmodan's eyes flickered subtly before snorting, "It's still a gateway to the new chaosverse. Pangea itself isn't important. What's important is what lies beyond it."
"A new chaosverse is always filled with countless opportunities and resources," Balmodan coolly stated, diverting Jade Soul King's attention to the chaosverse.
"Kekeke, that's true," Jade Soul King acknowledged before revealing a piece of important information, "Where else did you think I acquired Starcore Iron, Immortal Lycan King?"
"You mean…"
"That's right," Jade Soul King openly admitted, knowing what Balmodan wanted to say before he could finish saying it. "Hades also has a dimensional crack leading to the new chaosverse. On top of that, our dimensional crack is connected to a dead star realm."
"You didn't honestly think Gehenna was so special that it was the only one granted such an opportunity, Immortal Lycan King?" Jade Soul King asked, the two orbs of green flames in his eye sockets narrowed as if he was squinting his eyes—if he had any.
