After Austin had refined Jim's spiritual souls, he felt all the spiritual sense power in his Soul Sea began to turn into liquid.
It felt foreign yet still familiar somehow.
Just like flowing water converged into streams and rivers, all the spiritual sense liquid merged at the center of his Soul Sea.
Austin could even hear the faint sounds of waters.
Finally, a crystal clear lake of spiritual sense began to take form in the middle of his Soul Sea.
The lake covered a range of more than a thousand square meters. It rippled gently as if there was a breeze separating the waters.
'It worked!" Austin excitedly thought.
The formation of spiritual sense lake in his Soul Sea represented the perfect liquidation of his spiritual sense power.
The lake was highly concentrated from the spiritual sense power liquid, so each drop of water contained incredible spiritual sense power.
Austin felt at ease, and his mind was cleared of any worries. His eyes sparkled as he thought that he had immensely becpsychologically strong.
Now his spiritual sense power was much stronger than before--even more than tenfold.
Only an Astral Realm master could liquefy spiritual sense power.
Moreover, only a small group of those masters had the capability to do it.
This meant that Austin's spiritual sense power was even stronger than many Astral Realm masters! ‘Jim's power is incredible! Although | just absorbed 40% of his spiritual soul energy, | was already able to liquefy my spiritual sense power." Austin was thrilled with his accomplishment.
He knew that it had consumed about 40% of Jim's spiritual soul power when the latter tried to resist the Sword Emperor's attack.
Besides, it was impossible to perfectly refine all the spiritual soul energy. About 20% of it must have been wasted in the process.
So, what Austin had consumed was only 40% of the total spiritual soul energy of Jim.
Yet even with that amount, Austin was happy to finally liquefy his spiritual sense power.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis spiritual sense power had definitely reached a new level.
After rechecking everything in his Soul Sea, Austin flashed a smile of satisfaction.
"Hey, are you still alive? Old bastard, if you hurt the young man, | won't let you go! Lad, are you okay? Letknow, please!" The gncommunicated with Austin and tried to know whether he was alright.
When Austin stopped cultivating the Soul-transforming Skill, he received a bunch of messages from the gnome.
Obviously, he was worried that something terrible might have happened to Austin.
Ever since Jim had broken into Austin's Soul Sea, the gnwas extremely anxious.
He failed to enter Austin's Soul Sea after several attempts as he had been blocked by Jim.
The reason Jim did that was to prevent the gnfrom entering Austin's Souls Sea to help the latter in his fight.
Since the gnwas unable to enter Austin's Soul Sea, he could not do anything but wait anxiously.
Suddenly, Austin's body shook slightly. Then, he opened his eyes and seemed to have regained his consciousness.
'Did the old bastard's soul swallow Austin's soul and occupy his Soul Sea?' the gnwondered.
The gnwas hoping for Austin to be safe and sound.
However, he knew how powerful Jim's spiritual sense strength was, so he thought that Austin's body might have been controlled by the former.
"Who the hell are you? Austin or the old bastard?" the gnasked, staring at Austin in fear and doubt.
He obviously was not obviously confident who had taken over Austin's Soul Sea in the end.
Because of that uncertainty, he becmuch more cautious.
If Jim had successfully occupied Austin's Soul Sea, then it was his soul in the latter's body, not Austin's.
If that was the case, the first thing Jim would do was to get rid of the gnome.
To protect himself, the gnimmediately unleashed his teleportation ability and soon, round shock waves from the space spread around him.
He settled that once there were any signs of danger, he would enter the space and run away.
He was so sure that he would wait for a chance to take revenge for Austin in the future.
"Ha-ha!" Seeing the gnso nervous, Austin couldn't help but laugh.
"It's me!" Austin finally said.
The gnstopped for a bit, obviously taken aback by Austin's voice but still slightly cautious.
"You're Austin?" The gnwas still a little skeptical. He then released his beast soul energy to probe Austin's body.
Austin didn't do anything. Instead, he just stood still, and let the gnprobe in his Soul Sea with his beast soul energy.
"It's you, Austin!" The moment the gnome's beast soul energy enter Austin's Soul Sea, it immediately sensed the familiar fluctuation of spiritual sense.
"It's unbelievable! How could you still be alive! Where's the old bastard?" the gnexclaimed.
He was obviously both surprised and excited to sense that Austin's Soul Sea wasn't occupied by Jim's soul.
"The old bastard was so powerful. | doubted if you could kill him with your own strength." The gnstill hadn't recovered from the shock. He was staring at Austin with disbelief.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the way the gnreacted, Austin didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
Then he told the gnthe details of what happened in his Soul Sea.
The gnnodded and said, "See? | was right.
| didn't guess wrong after all. You were no match for that old bastard.
If the Sword Emperor didn't help you, you wouldn't have defeated him.
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for you," The gnuttered, and he soon rereleased his beast soul energy to detect Austin's spiritual sense power degree.
"Lad, your spiritual sense power is much stronger than my beast soul energy," the gnstated with the utmost admiration.
The gnhad very immense beast soul energy, but since Austin had refined what only a few Astral Realm masters could, his spiritual sense power was much stronger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter settling everything, Austin and the gnleft the sacrificial altar.
With Jim's absence--and so were his instructions--the attacks on the altar had all stopped.
All the black chains on the vast stone pillars had vanished entirely.
Yet still, the ghosts remained wandering on the broad sacrificial altar.
Since Austin's spiritual sense power had been turned into liquid, it was already extremely powerful now.
Even if he refined all those souls, it wouldn't do much to improve the cultivation of his spiritual sense power.
If the magic arrays were crucial to Austin before, now, with his power and strength, they were all trivial to him.
After leaving the sacrificial altar, Austin released his spiritual sense power and probed the situation in the Illusory Palace.
He found that there were magic arrays of various levels everywhere in the palace. They were forming into different illusory images.
Jim had evidently spent a lot of effort and tin building and filling the palace with magic arrays.
The palace really deserved its name! Soon, Austin found the location of Violet, Tessa, and the other two girls.
They were in a high-level magic array.
In the Illusory Palace, the magic array beside the sacrificial altar was the most powerful among the others located in several places.
This meant that breaking down the other arrays would be much easier.
With Violet's current beast soul energy and her talent, it would not be a big deal for her to break those magic arrays.
Knowing that, Austin was the least bit worried for them.
"Look! That's the old bastard's body," the gnsaid, pointing at the side of the altar.
Austin turned his gaze in the direction at which the gnpointed.
He saw the shriveled body of Jim sitting there with crossed legs.
It seemed that the body was well-guarded.
Austin's eyes glittered as he saw fifteen corpse demons surrounding Jim's body.
Each of them had the adeptness of a cultivator at the premium stage of Imperial Realm!
