Chapter 516: Chapter 253: Strongest Divine Technique of the Early Innate Divine Demon Lineage

"Spatial Fissure and... Soul Transfer?"

The information in Jiang Miaoyin’s words was overwhelming, causing Chu Xiu to become even more serious.

An SSS Talent, along with the additional Blessing from an Outer Realm Demon!

Why is it the Outer Realm Demon again? Could this person also be involved with the Extreme Dao?

Given his mad demeanor, it wouldn’t be surprising if he was related to the Extreme Dao. What Chu Xiu really cared about was whether his true identity had been revealed, which is why he was being hunted by the Extreme Dao?

Or did he merely stand in the way of Jiang Miaoyin, and the real target was actually her? Or was it all just a coincidence?

But regardless, one thing was certain: the opponent had most likely set their sights on him. People like that, if slighted, would never let it go, and even if Chu Xiu did not pursue him, he would not let Chu Xiu go.

"Miss Jiang, could you please explain this person’s Talent in more detail?" Chu Xiu asked.

Jiang Miaoyin nodded and said, "[Spatial Fissure] can essentially destroy space directly. This kind of attack, aimed at the essence of space, allows the Murder Ghost to almost disregard defenses."

"Of course, it’s not entirely negligent of defenses. The state of matter changes the structure of space; the more stable and denser the object, the more ’compressed’ the surrounding space becomes and the more difficult it is to destroy."

"Furthermore, exerting such a terrifyingly powerful Talent consumes a great deal of Energy, so the most common attack strategy is to condense energy into lines for [Spatial Cutting]."

Jiang Miaoyin’s words quickly made Chu Xiu understand that, in short, the opponent had an attack Skill with an extremely high percentage [Armor Piercing] Attribute.

Against such an enemy, stacking defense is basically useless; you need to stack health instead! Creatures like Celestial Dragons with their massive bodies, or Blood Demon Incarnations capable of constant rebirth, could suppress the Murder Ghost, making it difficult to cut even if they just stood there.

However, if it were just that, it wouldn’t be such a hassle. After all, there are plenty of powerful attack Skills out there, but what truly makes him a horrifying figure is a combination of Profession and Blessing!

Jiang Miaoyin continued, "[Spirit Puppet Master (A)] can refine puppets with Special Attributes and perform Remote Control. As for [Soul Transfer (S)], it allows transferring one’s Soul into the Spirit Puppet they refined, greatly enhancing the puppet’s maneuverability and Attributes while being able to use the user’s Talent!"

"Although the Talent’s Power is less than half, perhaps even not even a third! But thanks to the completely overwhelming damage of [Spatial Cutting], there’s almost no Same Tier opponent able to withstand the Murder Ghost’s attack."

Jiang Miaoyin’s explanation made Chu Xiu fully realize just how preposterous this guy was.

The slashing attack that ruined his two pieces of [Legend] Equipment earlier wasn’t even one-third of its strongest Power!

If his real body had come, wouldn’t it be possible to actually kill him?

Not to mention him, even someone as heroic as a [Heroic Spirit] would find defending against such an attack exasperating!

No wonder it’s on par with [Perfect Refining], the same level SSS Talent. It’s truly terrifying!

"So, this is an Awakened who can keep themselves in an absolutely safe location, continuously sending out hidden, specialized Spirit Puppets for ultra-long-distance assassination!"

Chu Xiu stroked his chin, now fully comprehending how troublesome this Li Ge was.

Of course, it wasn’t without any weaknesses either. The Armor Piercing ability of [Spatial Cutting] was indeed incontestable, but its range was limited, barely scratching creatures like Celestial Dragons or Earth Dragons.

But even so, it was fearsome enough.

"Moreover, judging by his performance just now, his Profession has likely been upgraded to [Puppet Master (S)] using an Upgrade Spark, further enhancing the puppet’s characteristics. Otherwise, that Human Puppet would not have such strong Concealment capabilities that even I didn’t detect it at first." Jiang Miaoyin sighed.

Chu Xiu did not reply, just quietly pondered over the current situation.

After a while, he made a decision and stepped deeper into the Soul Hall.

"Hey, senior, where are you going?"

Seeing Chu Xiu leave, Jiang Miaoyin quickly caught up.

Chu Xiu turned back and said, "Our transaction is complete; there’s no need for me to report where I’m going."

"Oh senior, why are you so distant?" Jiang Miaoyin followed with a playful smile. "If you’re exploring the Soul Hall, you should have just said so. You saved my life, and I’m willing to provide scouting services for free!"

Chu Xiu chuckled, "You just want my protection."

Jiang Miaoyin didn’t deny it and straightforwardly said, "Although that Murder Ghost seems to be after you, who knows what a madman wants to do. I feel safer following you."

"Besides, it looks like you actually need my help in scouting. You don’t seem to be skilled in Investigation Skills."

"It’s normal to be more inclined to particular skills. Senior, there’s no need to feel inferior. Where is there a Profession that can do everything?"

Chu Xiu almost wanted to say that there actually is one, it’s just that she doesn’t know about it. However, after thinking it through, he didn’t refuse and simply said, "Help me find a hidden corner; I need to prepare some tools to deal with the Murder Ghost."

"You should also rest and deal with those Holy Spirit Bodies."

Seeing Chu Xiu agree, Jiang Miaoyin showed a bright smile, "Understood!"

She waved her hand, sending a mass of Instantaneous deeper into the Soul Hall, continuously clearing the debris along the way, exploring and building new pathways.

Before long, Jiang Miaoyin’s eyes lit up, "Senior, I found a hidden chamber. It seems like a place a big shot used for secret affairs, there’s a big bed inside; the Murder Ghost surely won’t find us!"
