Chapter 537: "What Did You Do To Him?"
"Now now~ why are you so eager to die? Isn't it good to be alive?" Noah mocked Long Xiang, suspending his spirit in the middle of the air.
Long Xiang could only tremble when he looked deep into Noah's eyes. His golden eyes seemed to be pulsing with a dark tone.
It was as if the man was trying to suppress something dark inside of him. To save himself, Long Xiang tried to take control over his Soul Realm.
But all of his struggles were pointless!
There was no way for him to leave the Soul Realm by himself, not to mention throwing the intruders out of it.
Realizing there was nothing he could do to leave this situation unharmed, Long Xiang started to lose the will to live.
His eyes grew dimmer with each passing second, and the power of the inner demon he had been relying on had also mysteriously vanished from his body.
There was nothing he could do!
"Relax, I also won't kill you~" As if seeing through his thoughts, Noah's lips curled upwards, but his words were laced with mockery and disdain. "Well, not directly anyway!"
'Not only did you let Xin Yan experience a life filled with pain and despair, but you also had the gall to blame her for your suffering. Don't think I will let you escape from me by dying.' Noah's eyes shone with a ruthless glint as he looked at Long Xiang, as if he were prey for a predator about to toy with him.
Long Xiang, feeling the weight of Noah's gaze, felt like an insignificant ant. 'Am I going to die? What's the point of resisting in front of such a powerful person?'
Unknown to Noah, the intense emotions he had been hiding deep inside of him surfaced, influencing the dragon blood inside of him.
His vertical pupils made Long Xiang face the illusion of being stared down by a pair of moon-sized eyes in a dark room.
'He is already losing the will to live? I can't have that happening.' Noah frowned, seeing Long Xiang's situation. He snapped his fingers, and a meticulously woven seal appeared around Long Xiang's head like a crown.
The seal did not appear very intimidating, but it was carefully woven with intricate patterns and glyphs.
'What are those seals?' Xin Yan, who clearly saw the seal appearing, narrowed her eyes in wonder.
Much to her surprise, as the seal glowed, Long Xiang's eyes lost focus as if he had entered a state of trance.
Seeing the seal working, Noah walked forward and placed his hand on Long Xiang.
Boom!
Even though his hand moved very slightly, a huge force gushed out of his palm, blowing Long Xiang's soul into countless pieces.
Xin Yan's eyes widened instantly when she saw the beautiful scene of the magical realm being filled with countless glowing bits of her ex-husband's soul, like a swarm of fireflies.
Even though the scene looked beautiful beyond words, Xin Yan looked around with a confused expression. 'Did he die already? No, that's not possible… There is no way Noah would let that man die so easily. Even though he thinks he is hiding it well, I can feel it in my blood.'
Xin Yan suddenly trembled as she looked at Noah, feeling the dark emotions swirling inside of him. It was like she was staring down an abyss.
But her trembling was not one of fear but of exhilaration!
Noah's emotions made her own emotions stir up like a chain reaction. Shaking her head, she discarded the useless thoughts and looked around with narrowed eyes.
'Sure enough!' Just as she focused on one of the bits of soul, her eyes widened in realization. She hurriedly looked at another piece of soul, only for her shock to deepen.
"How is that possible?!" Unable to contain her emotions, she exclaimed in shock.
Each one of the soul bits that were blasted away from Long Xiang's consciousness had now transformed into mini Long Xiangs.
Each one of them was similar to the others in size and shape, and they all appeared to be sleeping with a ring glowing and rotating around their crown.
It took a while for Xin Yan to snap out of her thoughts. She looked back at the person responsible for this nearly impossible feat with shock and admiration in her eyes.
"How did you do that?" Curiosity got the better of her, and her thoughts made their way to her mouth as she walked towards Noah.
"Hmm?" Noah, who was immersed in controlling the seal with his mind, turned to look at her.
"I created a seal that allowed my soul to reincarnate with memories intact, so something like this is not a big deal for me." Noah explained casually, but seeing how focused he appeared, Xin Yan knew that it was not as simple as he was making it seem.
"Even though it was not his soul, you just split his consciousness into thousands of avatars." Shaking her head, Xin Yan spoke with admiration in her voice. "That's something even immortals find difficult to achieve for themselves, let alone performing it on others."
Noah did not say anything in return but appeared to be immersed in his thoughts. 'From her words, I can roughly start to compare the prowess of what she calls 'immortal' in my own terms.'
Noah knew even though they were called 'immortals,' they could not achieve eternal life.
Sure, they were able to glimpse into a deeper level of power than what mortals were able to accomplish, but their lifespans and bodies could not escape the cruelty of death. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
'Death is really something.' Noah was never worried about true death as he had been pursuing knowledge about this concept from his previous life.
He had been working hard so that neither he nor his loved ones would have to face death.
Seeing Noah thinking deeply, Xin Yan felt he was overthinking something. She closed the distance between them and pulled his head into her embrace.
"What did you do to him this time?" She decided to change the topic so he would not dwell on it too much.
