Chapter 621: The training sees its fruits, but the Heir of Death seems to move
"What is that aura? It doesn't make sense that it can make a casual hit from a cultivator and not be countered by the Law of Death. Besides, even though in cultivation I wasn't at his level, my overall power isn't that low using the Power Source, how is it possible that I got hurt so badly by that bastard? Even you had to pull me back to avoid further damage, how is that possible?
At that time, he hadn't awakened his Divine Soul, I'm sure." He insisted on this, trying to get information.
The floating black ball was silent for an extended period after hearing this.
"It's not something you can comprehend. Keep getting better, and maybe someday, you and I will be able to dominate the universe. I'll keep looking for those bastards that escaped a while back." Replied the Black Ball, and without saying another word, he disappeared without a trace.
His words left the Elder God slightly thoughtful.
'Those guys from the Age of Gods, huh... I wonder why there was a Divine Heir back then; he even looked a lot like that bastard.' He thought as he recalled the memories of the past he had obtained after merging with various souls.
In the end, he scoffed, 'Well, you ended up running away and dead then, what's the use of you showing up again? I'll erase you one more time, Divine Heir. It seems you and I have a destiny to meet.' His sinister smile lingered on his face until much later.

Time tends to pass quickly when you're doing something you enjoy, or so Tang Yin, Mu Ruxue and Wu Lingxia felt as they did Dual Cultivation for so many days.
To Tang Yin's surprise, Mu Ruxue and Wu Lingxia didn't have half the stamina that Bing Yinyin did.
It made him think that this icy woman was really amazing. Still, all three of them were totally satisfied.
Moreover, they had achieved their tasks.
Mu Ruxue and Wu Lingxia increased their powers significantly. Because Tang Yin's Divine Soul seemed to have awakened, they had received an astonishing improvement in all their fields.
Fire Control, Cultivation, Soul, and understanding of the Law of Fire increased, including intelligence and mental capacity. They were greatly blessed by this.
While Tang Yin managed to successfully learn the Law of Fire, which, in his hands, seemed to be different, as he carried the new concept he had created.
Still, with that great improvement they received, they decided to return to the mainland, but as soon as they left the Fire World, Shi Yue quickly reached Tang Yin.
"Tang Yin, those Castles you asked us to keep an eye on are reacting strangely and there is an aura coming out of them."
Tang Yin was stunned. 'Is the Heir of Death already going to attack?' he thought in shock. He grabbed the women with him and flew out of there at high speed, heading towards where Shi Yue told him to go.
Soon, they were standing above a Death Castle.
It had not changed too much, but it was shaking slightly. Also, occasionally, some powerful presence could be felt there.
The most drastic change was a dark aura, like death, that had come out of the Castle, surrounding it in a perfect circle. That aura seemed to kill anything that came near it.
Still, seeing it like that made Tang Yin sigh in relief.
"There is no danger for now, but we don't have much time left. Soon, it could activate, and once this activates, it will end up killing a large number of people in its path, granting whatever power they have to the Heir of Death." He said, startling the girls behind him.
"Should we order a retreat?" Shi Yue asked, and he shook his head.
"Withdraw the powers close by, but if we want to save this world from destruction, the deaths of a large number of people will be unavoidable." He replied.
"Wouldn't that be an unnecessary slaughter? It would empower the Heir of Death, though not much."
Tang Yin nodded at this.
"Yes, it will be a slaughter, but not unnecessary. If we get everyone away from here, this aura won't encounter much obstruction and will, therefore, advance at an extremely fast pace across the continent. In a very short time, it will reach where we are, and if it starts swallowing up the cultivators of this world who cannot fight off death, we will be finished.
All that power will go to the Heir of Death, and it will become so strong that it will crush us in no time." His thought was not to prevent a slaughter but rather to prevent the destruction of an entire world.
Honestly, he has no thoughts of heroes and doesn't care if many die. It's not his problem. But he does care about Ren Mingyue; no matter what, she can't die.
She was necessary not only because she was his sister and because of his promise but also because she was necessary to gain control of the System.
Even so, Tang Yin soon frowned.
'Wait...' He stopped floating and lunged at the aura of death there.
"Don't follow me; I'll be right out." His body was covered with the Law of Control after saying this, and the aura of death did not dare to approach him.
Soon, he was on solid ground, looking at the Castle of Death before him.
'Couldn't I create a similar Castle with my Law of Control?' He thought and went in to investigate. The significant presences that were occasionally felt in this Castle were from the beasts of death that were about to awaken.
After investigating for a while, he was thoughtful.
He felt that something was missing to create a Castle like this, but he couldn't understand it.
'I think I need to learn all the Elemental Laws and one more Law... Which Law could it be? Shi Yue's? The darkness of eternal night seems to be a powerful law. Although it's special, I don't know how I could learn it.' His thoughts were becoming a bit chaotic, so he stopped thinking about nonsense.
He would look for a way to counter the Castle of Death while learning the other Laws. Maybe he would figure something out then. Right now, he needed to learn two more Laws, so he needed to hurry. Find more to read on My Virtual Library Empire
After leaving there, he took his women back to the northwest while he thought about various things.
Now that his soul had reacted in such a way and seemed alive and awake more than ever, he realized several important issues.
The first is, why could the Heir of Death stand up to him so amazingly when his cultivation was so much lower? Although one of the reasons is that he had lost power when death consumed his body parts, if he understood the Law of Death correctly, it should not be possible for that guy to be able to stand up to him so firmly.
That reminded him again of the past, of the enigmatic Age of Gods that ended at the hands of the Heir of Death.
