Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 57 Martial Soul Awakening, Authority of Death!

Just as Luo Chen's martial soul was continuously transforming this massive amount of blood energy, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his mind. Instantly, everything around him seemed to freeze, his thoughts uncontrollably dissipated, and his consciousness sank into oblivion...

Under this strange feeling, after an unknown amount of time, Luo Chen's consciousness gradually returned, but what he saw was not his familiar dormitory, but darkness.

"This is?"

Feeling the darkness of this space, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, there was no light, and you couldn't even perceive time, Luo Chen's mind was jolted awake from its confusion, and then he looked around anxiously.

This was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation since he awakened his martial soul. In this dark and silent space, all his senses disappeared, and the only thing he could feel was the vastness and immensity of this dark space.

But the next moment, an unusually familiar feeling suddenly appeared in Luo Chen's hand. He was all too familiar with this feeling, which was as if it were exactly the same as his own body. It was his Death Scythe Martial Soul!

When Luo Chen looked down into his hand, he realized that what he was holding was not the Grim Reaper's Scythe he remembered, but a gigantic scythe that was many times larger, gleaming with a crimson light, and stretching as far as the eye could see!

Extending from the hilt of the sword he was holding, all the way to the very bottom of this dark space, the blade, as massive as a plane of existence, was firmly pressed against this dark space, with a portion even disappearing into the outside of it!

On this giant scythe, which seems capable of slicing through an entire world, are engraved various lifelike ancient patterns, densely packed, including not only the most basic flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish, and insects...

There were also many other terrifying figures, whose beauty and stature were comparable to the chaotic gods and demons in Luo Chen's memory. Each one was a being that Luo Chen could not look directly at, sacred and inviolable!

As Luo Chen examined the blades closely from his omniscient perspective, he discovered that the ancient patterns engraved on the blades and surfaces were permeated with a bloody mist, filled with the intent of death and slaughter.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately understood. The crimson light emanating from this giant scythe was actually bursts of blood mist spraying from the countless strange patterns engraved on its blade!

"Could it be that these strange patterns engraved on the blade are the souls of those who perished beneath this ancient giant scythe?"

With his godlike perspective, looking at the enormous scythe in his hand that seemed to pierce through the entire space, Luo Chen had some guesses in his mind and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

If it is indeed as I suspect, then the number of beings that have perished under this giant scythe, or the countless saints, is far more than just trillions.

Even in the Douluo Continent where Luo Chen is currently located, all the living beings in the entire Great World combined probably wouldn't be as numerous as a fraction of these ancient patterns!

"Holy crap... what the hell did I awaken? Is this really something that could appear in the Douluo Continent?"

After figuring all this out, Luo Chen couldn't help but swear. It wasn't his fault; the situation before him was just too shocking!

This guy calls himself an evil spirit master? He's more like a world destroyer!

But even wielding this blood-red giant scythe, which was filled with endless killing intent and seemed to not belong in this world, and whose size was completely disproportionate to its shape, making Luo Chen as insignificant as a speck of dust, he felt no discomfort at all.

All Luo Chen could feel was the strange sensation of being connected by blood, as if it were part of his own body, or perhaps the blood-red giant scythe that almost encompassed the entire dark space seemed to have always been his!

However, no matter how much Luo Chen urged his will to lift the blood-red giant scythe in his hand, he could not budge it in the slightest. In Luo Chen's perception, it was as if what he was holding was not a scythe, but an entire vast world!

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree..."

After trying for a while, the giant scythe still didn't budge, so Luo Chen had no choice but to give up. However, he wasn't discouraged because he had a general idea of ​​what the problem was.

This clearly shows that one's own strength has not yet reached the minimum requirement to wield this crimson giant scythe, which is why one cannot pull it out of this dark space. It's like a hero who hasn't even left the beginner's village trying to pull out the divine sword that defeated the demon king...

It's not that they're unworthy, it's that their abilities haven't reached that level yet!

However, just as Luo Chen was about to continue his research, his illusory figure suddenly grew stronger and more solid. Luo Chen could clearly sense that his will was undergoing a transformation!

As Luo Chen's willpower increased significantly, the majestic and magnificent blood-red giant scythe in his hand began to tremble slightly. Even though the tremor was extremely weak given its enormous size, Luo Chen still noticed it.

"This breakthrough in willpower level indicates a successful advancement to level 30. Just as I predicted, as my willpower strengthens, I gain more and more control over this giant scythe!"

Luo Chen now roughly understood why his martial soul was called the Reaper's Scythe. It was probably not a product of this plane, and might even have come from a higher dimension!

However, Luo Chen is still unable to use this giant scythe at the moment. The reason why Luo Chen was allowed to enter this space when he broke through to the 30th level of Soul Master was to find out the true situation of his own Martial Soul.

It is estimated that because the awakening was too early, his body and will could not withstand it. That is why he automatically sealed everything when his martial soul was first awakened, and only unsealed it when Luo Chen was able to withstand it!

And indeed, just as Luo Chen had guessed, as his own will completed its transformation, the billions of patterns engraved on the Death Scythe instantly emitted a dazzling gray light.

As countless gray points of light, shining like stars, rose from the giant scythe, the space suddenly became turbulent. These gray points of light gradually converged and finally transformed into a cross-shaped light pattern full of sacred aura!

Before Luo Chen could react, the cross-shaped light pattern swiftly entered the center of his brow and then disappeared without a trace.

As the cross-shaped light pattern merged into Luo Chen's body, which was composed of will, Luo Chen instantly understood what this light pattern, bestowed upon him by the crimson giant scythe, represented—it was—

The power of death!
