When Shigi saw the soul tearing crystal on fion’s hand, his mind went blank. He immediately abandoned any thoughts of living and tried to commit suicide. Before he could use all of his Yuan Qi to explode, Fion knocked him out cold by a chop to the back of his head.

It was not surprising that Shigi choose to commit suicide, since the chances of him being alive and inform the clan were practically nil. Also, soul devouring was many times worse than death itself. When the two things were compared, one can even say that death itself is a luxury. Almost all cultivators believed the reincarnation of souls when they died, although there was no definite proof of any kind till now. That thought that, after the soul being subjected to the torture, it would became so weak and eventually would lost it’s ability to reincarnate. This was equivalent to permanently disappearing from the world.

When someone was subjected to soul tearing crystal, their soul would be devoured by it. Then, the owner of the crystal can inject their Yuan Qi into the crystal and can take control of it. Fion did the same. First, he waited a bit for shigi’s soul to drift due to his near death state. Then he used the soul tearing crystal to devour shigi’s soul, before it could disappear into nothingness. He relieved a bit after capturing the soul and then concentrated on his body.

Fion analysed his body and sighed. He found that some of his recently formed mitogene cells were dead due to the huge amount of Yuan Qi produced. Aside from being his cells ruptured, some of his bones were fractured and even his stomach has severe internal injuries. But he was not worried since he has some amount of cell revital pellets which he had taken from Silver eagle group’s leader. And adding the pellets healing powers with his insane rate of production of Yuan Qi, he had at most confidence that he would be healed within some hours.

He swallowed two revital pills and sat in a meditative posture. He controlled his production of Yuan Qi, so as to not damage his body. Within some minutes, his internal injuries were halfway healed and the pain became much bearable now.

He was extremely delighted that his power can match upto a condensation stage expert. It’s only obvious since amount of Yuan Qi present directly determines one’s power. Even though fion was only at entry stage of Mitogene realm, each of his mitogenes can store Yuan Qi at least 100 times more than an average mitogene. Due to this, his power easily exceeds the peak stage of the same realm and even more than an expert at early phase condensation stage. After some more minutes, he stopped his mediation. He dared not continued his healing since he was in the periphery of Amber mountains and any beast can ambush him at anytime.

Fion stood up and looked at the thick blood coloured crystal in his hand which now has Shigi’s soul. His mouth curved a little as he formed an evil smile. Then he glanced at the lifeless body of shigi. Normally, an elder of a huge clan such as Yu Clan would have huge influence, that too being a condensation stage expert, his fame would have reached well around the province.

If news of an elder’s death spread around, it would cause a huge commotion. More over, after the apocalypse, the powerful experts were even more renowned by the people.

“I should get rid of his body as soon as possible, since a beast can come at any time due to the smell of blood, wait ! why not let a beast devour him … Hmmm … let me hide in the shadows and wait patiently … i really hope that some beast would come, else i would have to take of his corpse by myself ” Fion thought to himself.

He moved away some metres from the corpse and hid in a tree top. He patiently waited and spread his bacterial sense. At the same time, he also controlled his bacteria to conceal themselves, so that his presence would be hidden. Then he took out the soul tear crystal and began injecting his Yuan Qi.

The crystal began to shine as fion’s consciousness strolled into it. Inside the crystal, there was a huge barren land as far as the eye can see. In that land, an old aged man was binded in chains and tied to the ground and was unconscious. It was Shigi’s soul, which had taken the form of his body. Fion appeared next to him and stared viciously at the latter. He delivered a kick to his face and the latter spat out a mouth full of blood. The chains which binded him, kept him in place from the blows of fion. Fion kept on delivering blows to all parts of Shigi’s body, till his rage subsided a little.

The whole place was covered with blood and Shigi’s whole body was beaten to a pulp. Even though, it’s not his original body, the soul tearing crystal after devouring his soul, would always construct a body similar to his own and would connect it to the soul. So, when the body was damaged, the same amount of blow would be reciprocated to the soul. In addition to this, the body can be returned to the original state by using Yuan Qi.

This was similar to a statue, where upon destruction, it can be reconstructed anew. Inside the crystal, the body can be created infinite number of times, but the damage to the soul remains. Due to this, the method is considered the most cruel of tortures, since one can torture the soul indefinitely as long as one have sufficient amount of Yuan Qi.

Also, the person injecting Yuan Qi would have the ultimate control over the domain. He can create anything with his Yuan Qi. In this case, the barren land and the chains were all created by Fion.

Fion withdrew his consciousness from the crystal. Since Fion already lost some of his mitogenes, his whole body was panting while he was gathering more Yuan Qi. After arduously gathering enough Yuan Qi for about some minutes, he once again warped into the crystal

He saw the bloody messed up body of Shigi. There was no expression on Fion’s face and he closed his eyes for a moment. He connected with the crystal and injected Qi into it. The next moment, the screwed up corpse of Shigi glowed after which his body was being recreated from the scratch. Within a few breaths, his body became anew and Shigi’s soul revered consciousness and looked around to evaluate the surroundings. His face darkened and he looked at fion dreadfully.

“Fion , Please i beg you, release my soul from the crystal … i will tell you any information you want … please ” he kneeled down before fion and beseeched. All his actions were being controlled by his soul which was receiving the damage.

Fion smirked and waved his hand. Suddenly, 6 lights appeared from no where and was in the process of taking the shape of a human women. Their appearance resembles a normal common women from a village and they were completely nude. They advanced towards Shigi on receiving an eye signal from fion.

The chains which binded Shigi became tightened and tied him to the ground as he lay flat on the barren ground. All the six women surrounded and seduced him, doing different kinds of play. One by one, they began to have intercourse with him, while the others will play with other parts of his body.

Fion retracted back his consciousness and started his healing process. He also found that no beasts came to feed on the corpse. It was within his expectations, since the battle just now had totally scared the shit out of the beasts here. Some of the burden and rage in his heart and mind subsided a little and he continued to meditate under the tree top.

Mean while inside the crystal, after some more minutes, blood began to came out of Shigi’s manhood due to lack of semen, while the women sucked dry every inch of his stamina and life force. The damage to the soul was enormous as this was a slow, poisoning torture.

“Stop it , Stop it ….. i can’t ….. no longer … please make them stop ..” Shigi cried in despair. His muscles were strained to its limit and the over stimulation of the nerves caused intense pain to him and over time, they injured to the extent that even a little movement can hurt like hell. Finally, his body became so lean and bony that he looked like a rotten corpse and became lifeless. His soul began to relax a little and the very same moment, he felt that his body was regaining strength once again.

Fion just appeared inside the crystal and used some of his Yuan Qi to heal his body to half of it’s peak state. At that time, the soul finally gained enough strength to move the muscles.

“Fion … please sob … sob … i beg you … forgive me … forgive and ….. release me from this. I really regret my mistakes and i am very very sorry ….. uhmm … your mother ” he stammered as he can’t finish the sentence on fearing that it would enrage fion further.

But his words fell on deaf ears as fion looked indifferent the whole time without a hint of emotion. His heart soothed a little, when he watched the miseries of Shigi. After injecting enough Yuan Qi into the crystal, he back down his conscious from it. He placed the soul tear crystal in his pocket, so that he can inject Yuan Qi anytime he want and slowly closed his eyes. His mouth was curved a little and small droplets could be seen on his eyes.He drifted into the world of dreams within some moments after which he closed his eyes.
