Soul Trigger

Chapter 421: Finale (Part )

Turning his head, Ji Li seemed to see the figure of Bunny Girl running towards him, but the intense pain from the depths of his soul made him bend down suddenly, and his whole body trembled wildly -

The second time I used the Shadow Personality Burst Device, it was much better than the first time, but it was still filled with a lot of discomfort.

It was as if the entire body was rejecting the soul and trying to expel it from the body.

The long pain lasted for several seconds before gradually subsiding, and the strong feeling of dizziness still lingered in the brain.

He opened his eyes again, grinned and wiped the sweat from his forehead:

"It's really awesome... Black hole reactor."

He glanced at the air cage in his hand. The black hole power in it had been completely consumed by the explosion of the linked personality shadow.

At this moment, he felt a faint rejection.

When he looked over, he saw a bronze statue appear in his field of vision. It exuded a familiar aura and stood crookedly not far from him, with a huge crack on its face.

This thing...

He staggered slightly and straightened his body, quickly regaining his physiological control, and kicked it to pieces with one kick. The entire city could no longer sense the breath of Bafen Lingshu.

At this moment, Ji Li could feel the weakness of this body. The Well of Soul had completely dried up, and the recovery speed of spiritual essence was as slow as a turtle.

This made him narrow his eyes slightly——

Faced with the pressure of half of the eight-member council, he must take the initiative and not fall into the rhythm of Jiumian and Tianjun.

That's why he used the Shadow Personality Burst without hesitation.

Although he didn't know about the cluster spirit hub like the Eight-Point Oath before, it now seems that this is not a good thing either.

However...his brows suddenly frowned:
Why hasn't that thing appeared yet?

He tried to find the remains of Nine-Faced's personality, but at that moment he suddenly raised his head again, because two terrifying spiritual auras enveloped the sky above the city center -

He immediately raised his hand and signaled the bunny girl, who was already halfway into the pit, to stop.

Two foreign figures suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pit:
A man wearing a top hat and dressed neatly like a gentleman took off his hat and saluted Ji Li:

"What a pleasing battle..."

The other man was wearing a tight black suit and had a common business-style slicked-back hair.

He glanced at the watch in his hand and twisted it slightly:
"Now that everything is over... let's get straight to the point."

He looked up:
"Dear Mr. Ji, you can call me Colin. On behalf of the Kaiton Federation, as a Threshold Coordinator, I invite you to join the Abnormal Intervention Bureau... What do you think?"

Another middle-aged foreigner dressed as a gentleman also said:

"Romero Willard III, you can also call me Sir Willard... I am here on behalf of White Island to invite you to join the Dark Side Supervisory Group and become one of the Watchers... Are you interested?"

…This was not in the plan.

Ji Li's eyes swept across the two of them expressionlessly, but the corner of his eye vaguely swept across the barely perceptible illusion in the corner.

Now his soul well is completely dry, and his spiritual essence is recovering very slowly. And these two immortals...

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from the soul trigger, he grinned:

"You two came at the perfect time."

"My friend, we did not join the battle just now..."

Colin smiled, sensing Ji Li's rejection, and the spiritual essence on his body fluctuated around, with a faint threatening sting:

“Right now, where else can you go except leaving Silla? Isn’t our arrival to provide you with the best umbrella of protection…”

"Or do you want to sit down and have a good talk with us... based on your dried-up well of souls?"

There is not much to say about the Keaton Federation, they are old friends. The Anomaly Intervention Bureau is their external awakening organization.

As for the White Isle, its full name is the United Kingdom of the White Isles, the birthplace of English. European legends and ancient British mythology give this country a full sense of mysticism.

"You two have come all the way to Silla just to recruit new people? This place doesn't seem to be the American continent, nor the land of Europe."

The two looked at each other and smiled:
“We naturally know that this is Silla…but how many people are left in Silla at this time?”

Before he finished speaking, an immortal spirit descended from the sky.

Emperor Ying, with his whole body boiling with energy, slammed down in front of Ji Li and grabbed Ji Li's still weak arm.

Before he could react, the green spiritual essence transformed into a long snake that trapped Ji Li, instantly turning it into a cage.

Ji Li winked at the rabbit whose spiritual essence was instantly boiling in the distance in front and to the side, and it stopped struggling for a while.

Emperor Ying looked at him with red eyes and spoke in a very gloomy tone:
"You two, you seem to be looking down on us..."

The two men frowned, obviously not expecting Emperor Ying to appear before them in such an unharmed state.

The battle just now was filled with the whale fall phenomenon caused by the death of immortals, which obscured the fact that Emperor Ying was directly thrown into the sea by Ji Li using a black hole.

Emperor Ying raised his hand, and the spiritual essence on his body suddenly exploded:

"Ji Li... will be detained in the capital. As the highest-level spiritual criminal on Silla's land, this is the internal affairs of the secret societies of the two factions of human and soul. It is not the turn of Europeans and Americans to make the decision."

The top hat didn't comment on this, but just smiled:

"What if I want to take him away by force?"

Emperor Ying said coldly:
"Will your foreign colleague agree?"

Colin immediately laughed and said:

"Of course not, but..." He curled his lips:
“After taking us away from Silla, we can solve it ourselves. After all, this place doesn’t seem to welcome us.”

He looked up and saw the crowd standing at the edge of the pit.

Han Xiaofu, Yan Xiyu, Jasmine, the Dusk Force and the Agents...

On the other side of the pit, the Capital Special Management Bureau had red eyes, and the two sides seemed to be in a confrontation.

However, in terms of numbers, the Aurora City Special Management Bureau does not have an advantage.

The failed Emperor Ying was not discouraged and raised his hand slightly:

"Mr. Negative Witch... You have been watching for so long, why don't you come out and say hello?"

His voice echoed in the huge pit:

“Although I can’t guarantee how Silla will deal with Ji Li in the future, it’s still better than taking him to Europe or the Kaiton Federation, isn’t it?”

The spiritual essence floated by, and the phantom that was originally in the corner of Ji Li's eyes slowly emerged at the edge of the bottom of the pit.

Filin's figure slowly emerged from it, and the huge crack was covered by the dress.

The look in Emperor Ying's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the two people in front of him:

"Now... can we talk?"

The situation is changing rapidly, and for now he can only cooperate with Filin.

Although she had some serious injuries, it shouldn't be a problem for her to subdue these two people...

But Sir Willard on the opposite side suddenly smiled——

A sharp sound of breaking through the air penetrated the dimension, and a giant platinum sword fell from the sky and slashed fiercely between the two sides.

The spectacle collapsed the sky and split the earth, and dust flew everywhere.

A psychic storm swept across the sky, and everyone stepped back in shock at this sudden vision.

The sudden dimensional fission made Emperor Ying's whole body tense instantly. The threat from the giant sword made his soul trigger vibrate wildly. After a few breaths of silence, he uttered a few words from between his teeth:

"White Ring Knight..."

The giant sword was platinum in color, covered with intricate patterns, and looked simple and gorgeous.

A white ring with a gap was embedded on it, breathing in the light of spiritual color, and a dull male voice echoed:
"Take this wheel-turner away."

The moment the words fell, the two Europeans and Americans attacked Ji Li together without any hesitation.

Emperor Ying, who was already ready to attack, suddenly roared, entered the evil spirit state and pounced forward. Filin's black and white spiritual field suddenly opened up and enveloped the two people.

Perhaps because of the injury, the black and white spiritual essence was shattered by the white and gold spiritual essence emitted by the giant sword. The two men just paused before colliding with Emperor Ying.

The two Special Management Bureau troops above rushed up and rushed directly down to snatch Ji Li, and the scene instantly fell into chaos.

But what no one noticed was that in the bronze statue that was kicked to pieces by Ji Li, a tiny orange spark had been secretly flickering since some point.

And at the moment when the chaos broke out, the Mars suddenly expanded and turned into a powerful and crazy radiation that shot up into the sky.

By the time everyone reacted, they saw that Ji Li and the green snake cage that trapped him had disappeared together.

Emperor Ying exclaimed angrily:

"Nine faces!?"

He saw the terrifying black hole explosion on his way here, how could he still be alive? !
Is it because of that little bit of "paradox" power...? !

Ji Li was trapped in his cage at the moment and couldn't put up any resistance at all! !
The expressions of several people who also realized this changed instantly, and various spiritual essences surged out -

The Capital Special Management Bureau and Emperor Ying want to control Ji Li at all costs. For them, there must be an explanation for this disaster and the collapse of the Eight-member Council.

The Aurora City Special Management Bureau has to rescue Ji Li. The current situation is caused by the Eight-member Council and Nine-faced. This is their chief director.

The two outsiders and the big sword also wanted to snatch Ji Li away. They came here to participate in the Salt Water Island incident and should not have casually entered the territory of Silla.

Since he has intervened, how can he let the cooked duck fly away like that? He must not let Jiu Mian kill the Black Goat like this!

But the orange-red light was so fast, with multi-colored lights flashing on the edges, it instantly pierced through countless spiritual substances, and even Filin's time field could not stop it.

The rabbit grabbed the saber in frustration, only to realize that now only the handle was left of it.

He casually grabbed the camera hanging around his neck and pressed it suddenly, but nothing happened. The orange light just soared into the sky with Ji Li -

"Shit! What the hell are you doing at this critical moment?!"

Rabbit threw the black box that had transformed into a camera to the ground. She could clearly sense that the spiritual state of this thing could be used at least once more!
At this moment, the orange light in the sky also completely consumed the last trace of multi-colored light after passing through the spiritual essence of these immortal powers and countless awakened ones.

The light of destruction burst out from the orange radiation, completely revealing the nine-sided figure of the Mad Fire Body, which meant that the power of "Paradox" had been completely used up by him.

But even so, he still let out a crazy roar:

"...I am the final winner!!!"

The dried corpse was burning with crazy fire. Jiumian's body lay on Ji Li, burning and crushing the green snake cage on his body, and brought it to the sky with a hurricane:
"…What are you waiting for…Come out now! I know you are watching!!!"

With a roar, those deadly spiritual spells rushed towards him. Jiu Mian could only keep going upwards, and continued to roar, lifting Ji Li's body high in the strong wind:

"I've got what you want!!! The Black Goat is right here! Now, immediately, give me my wife--"

"tombstone!!!!!"

With his final heart-wrenching call, a hint of deep red spiritual essence swept past.

Emperor Ying's expression suddenly changed again:

"tombstone!?"

The next moment, all kinds of spiritual energy that were torn in nine directions in the sky were destroyed in an instant, and the sky that had just returned to normal was rolled up with huge red clouds.

The information about Dieshan City was brought back by Ji Li after personal contact, and Emperor Ying knew very well what this name meant.

Nightmare, Tombstone, Dieshan City, High-level blockade, Performance review meeting...

In an instant, a large number of clues were connected in his mind:
"In order to achieve this... you actually colluded with a Dead Apostle, a Dead Apostle from the Tower of Babel..."

It turned out that the incident in Dieshan City had been his most direct intention...but the loss of his wife and the dispute over Saltwater Island left the eight-member council with no time to pay attention to his case.

Emperor Ying instantly realized that perhaps from the moment Liu Zhiyu died, Jiu Mian had gone completely crazy...

The spiritual essence was surging, and a giant green snake rose from the ground and pounced into the sky under the explosion of his spiritual essence.

The two foreigners obviously knew the name of the Tower of Babel and had some understanding of the so-called "Eighth Seat" tombstone.

Colin's body suddenly accelerated, his teeth bared his sharp teeth, a pair of bat wings grew out from his back, and he sped away instantly.

But Sir Willard retreated instead of advancing, returning to the greatsword, apparently intending to borrow the power of the "Knight of the White Ring".

Several people showed their skills and tried to intercept Ji Li.

But the sky had already turned into a spiral crimson vortex, instantly transforming the surroundings into a scarlet ghostland, temporarily obscuring everyone's perception.

The sense of direction is lost, vision is obstructed, and the hearing is filled with noisy howling of ghosts and wolves.

At this moment, high in the sky, Ji Li raised his head, enduring the discomfort of the drying up of the Well of Soul, and met nine dry and fanatical eyes.

Jiu Mian was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Li. He laughed wildly in the whistling blood. His laughter was full of joy until he heard Ji Li's indifferent voice:
“…when a conflict escalates to the point where it cannot be resolved, all the reasons and causes behind it become insignificant.”

Jiumian's laughter suddenly stopped:
This sounds so familiar.

But under the burning of the madness, his thoughts had become increasingly confused, and he could not remember where these words came from.

And Ji Li's voice continued:

"In the end, everything will turn into a trapped beast with exploded emotions, struggling desperately."

"When the choice is completely placed before this country, the deal between you and me will be complete... You must fully honor your promise, not just something like this..."

The cunning flash in Ji Li's eyes was fixed in his gaze, and Jiumian's soul suddenly shook -

He remembered.

Those were the words he had said to the dead apostle Tombstone on the way back to the capital.

But how did the black goat know what he said to the tombstone?
why……

As if realizing something, his soul trigger began to tremble violently, and the strong sense of fatality almost shattered his broken soul:

"No! Wait! We clearly..."

There was a loud noise as the bright red blade pierced into flesh. The red fog in the entire sky cleared away, revealing the scene in the sky to everyone.

They froze in place, their pupils shrank, and even their spirit essence slowed down for a moment——

Ji Li looked at Jiumian's face which was so close to him, and a hint of mockery kept flickering in his eyes.

Jiumian tried his best to shout out, but the sword had already begun to twist his soul and body:

We signed a contract...

The madness finally disappeared from his eyes, as if it was completely shattered by the sword, completely revealing the true nature of the broken soul behind it.

Resentment, fanaticism, anger, loneliness and begging.

All kinds of emotions burst out in his eyes, but those withered eyes were gradually losing their color.

His ferocious and struggling gaze extended from the sword that pierced his chest to the figure that appeared behind Ji Li:
The Tombstone of the Eighth Seat of the Tower of Babel:
"The timing is perfect..."

Its body was covered in armor with intricate patterns, which was a bizarre relief composed of thousands of people in various postures, and one of the reliefs was struggling.

These were all spirits it had hunted, and the one that was struggling had a familiar look to him. There was no doubt that it was the appearance of his dead wife.

He didn't know if this was an illusion at the moment of death, but his eyes, which had gradually lost their luster, suddenly lit up, flashing with spiritual essence with all their might.

Then he saw a bunch of black mycelium shooting out from Ji Li's body and piercing the surface of the moving relief.

It was only a tiny bit, but it was enough to shatter the relief suddenly.

In an instant, his eyes completely lost all color.

No no no…No——!!!

In the end, it just turned into a silent roar of rage at the moment when the soul was shattered.

His resentment and pain reached a peak, and his entire body and soul exploded, transforming into incomparably sweet nourishment that was completely inhaled by the deep breath behind the tombstone visor.

This scene may be very long, but in the eyes of others, it happened in an instant:

Under Misha's dazed gaze, the long sword pierced into Ji Li's chest, then penetrated Jiumian's body and suddenly twisted.

Blood poured down into the sky and her pupils froze.

Instantly, she felt her blood drop to freezing point, her mind froze, as if an overwhelming chill had enveloped her completely, seeping into every pore of her body:
"Old...Ji...?"
