Chapter 728 Ghostly Waterlily

The prison guards who were close by met their demise directly, succumbing to fatal bleeding. Those positioned farther away hesitated to approach, remaining oblivious to the events. unfolding within.

This assault originated from the soul, a form of attack for which most were ill–prepared. Once ensnared in its grip, the inevitable result was the dispersal of one’s spirit and soul.

“Harlan, over twenty years have passed, yet you’re still a loser!”

Simeon’s strength stood unrivaled, and after a disdainful roar, a formidable energy ruthlessly assailed Harlan’s body.

His resounding roar intensified the undulations of his soul energy. The dark fog detonated like a nuclear explosion, violently surging in all directions. This further plunged the already lightless Dragon Soul Penitentiary into an even deeper gloom.

Harlan’s body convulsed, his complexion paling, creating a stark contrast with the enveloping black mist.

Throughout more than two decades, Simeon endured captivity within Dragon Soul Penitentiary, with his soul energy

persistently drained. Nevertheless, he maintained an upper hand. This starkly demonstrated the formidable prowess he possessed during his prime.

Despite both being Soul Kings, Harlan could never measure up to Simeon.

It became evident why Simeon harbored a sense of contempt for

Harlan.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Simeon relentlessly delivered blow after blow, giving Harlan no respite, compelling him to retreat repeatedly. It appeared as though Simeon aimed to reciprocate all the agony endured over the past two decades back onto Harlan.

Consider the irony: possessing vastly superior soul energy, yet ensnared within a frail and feeble body, unable to unleash full strength. The sheer frustration of such a predicament must have been immense.

The pent–up emotions that had accumulated within Simeon for more than twenty years erupted in full force the moment he was liberated from his constraints.

Words fell short of capturing the ferocity of Simeon’s onslaught.

“Jonas!”

Harlan’s countenance turned extremely grim, as he was

completely unprepared for the staggering potency retained by Simeon’s soul energy even after more than two decades. In a moment of urgency, he turned his head and bellowed at Jonas.

Even though Jonas was fully cognizant of Harlan’s intentions in summoning him, he displayed no hesitation, boldly stepping forward to join the fray.

As Jonas entered the battlefield, an ominous force surged through

the darkness like a relentless tornado, swiftly rending his body to shreds. Simultaneously, the true form of Jonas was laid bare.

Pife!

Harlan extended his hand, effortlessly capturing Jonas in his

grasp.

“It’s my honor to become a part of Soul King Harlan!”

Jonas, with a resounding roar, bravely dived into Levente’s body, and the instant he entered, Harlan swiftly and voraciously consumed him.

Buzz!

Harlan’s soul energy surged dramatically, its aura growing oppressively intense and increasingly horrifying.

The obscured face of Simeon within the black mist subtly fluctuated, almost as if expressing a frown. Then, a resolute voice echoed. “Hmph, you’ve got yourself a good dog there. But if you believe this alone will force my submission, you’re gravely

mistaken.”

As his words resounded, a peculiar black waterlily materialized abruptly in front of him, emitting a captivating aura.

He unleashed his renowned soul technique–Ghostly Waterlily.

“In the past, constrained by the limitations of that body, my soul technique couldn’t reach its full potential, only managing to injure the three of you. Today, I will unveil the true power of my

Ghostly Waterlily!” Simeon roared proudly, asserting hist unrivaled dominance.

Back then, he stood alone against the three Soul Kings. Despite ultimately being captured and severely wounded, he managed to inflict injuries on them with his soul technique, all while his soul technique was limited.

Now, liberated from his host body, Simeon could finally unleash the unbridled power of his soul technique.

The eerie black waterlily before him swiftly absorbed the surrounding black fog which incorporated the entirety of Simeon’s soul energy.

Without delay, it bloomed suddenly, releasing a horrifying power that reverberated through the very core of the soul.

Boom!

Harlan was right in the middle of that surge of energy. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his complexion shifted, his pupils widening in shock.

“Haha, Simeon!”

Despite the overwhelming might of such a formidable soul technique, Harlan laughed while his facial muscles violently contorted.

An eerie, menacing laughter emanated from him.

“Simeon, do you know why I asked Jonas to deactivate the formation marks? Despite my awareness of your formidable soul energy, I deliberately let you out. Do you know why?” The grin on Harlan’s face intensified, growing eerier and more evil.

Simeon’s brows furrowed abruptly, a vague sense of foreboding creeping over him. Nevertheless, his Ghostly Waterlily had already initiated a frenzied assault against Harlan.

Bang!

At that moment, Harlan’s left arm explosively tore through his clothing, unveiling the distinctive features of his limb for all to witness.

While the body of Levente projected an appearance of aged frailty, this particular arm defied expectations. It was sinewy, muscular, and robust, with even a faint trace of white light swirling above it.

“This is…”

It appeared that something had jolted Simeon, evident in the sudden constriction of his pupils.

“I can’t believe you actually…”

His expression changed as he began to piece together the nature of that left arm.

In a desperate attempt, he tried retracting the Ghostly Waterlily.

However, once unleashed, the withdrawal of its soul energy could only occur after the inherent power had fully erupted.

Simeon knew it was over.

Splat!

Ultimately, the Ghostly Waterlily descended onto Harlan’s body, adhering to its predetermined course.

However, to Simeon’s dismay, it failed to detonate.

At that pivotal juncture, Harlan extended his left arm, skillfully intercepting the Ghostly Waterlily. Yet, that wasn’t just a simple defense.

The peculiar white specks on his arm, just before the full might of the Ghostly Waterlily could be unleashed, spontaneously amalgamated into a pale, gaping mouth, devouring the black waterlily in its entirety.

Buzz!

Simeon’s form convulsed violently, and the once pitch–black silhouette swiftly

transmuted into transparency. Its aura was now feeble, and the erstwhile arrogance had dissipated entirely.

The black waterlily encapsulated all of his soul energy; only after its eruption could he reclaim that energy. Unfortunately, before the impending burst, it fell prey to Harlan’s left

arm.

This signified the complete consumption of Simeon’s soul energy by Harlan, akin to Harlan’s earlier devouring of Jonas.

Rumble!

The soul energy fluctuations within Harlan’s frame surged, instantaneously escalating more than threefold. Shockingly, a thunderous rumble resonated from deep within his body.

This thunder emanated from the profound depths of the soul.”

“Hahaha, Simeon, now do you understand why I released you? Your soul energy is indeed a great elixir for me. From now on, who would dare to underestimate my power?”

Simeon, the mightiest among the Four Soul Kings, had fallen victim to Harlan’s devouring. Consequently, Harlan now stood as an unrivaled force.

“Simeon, your downfall was due to your excessive pride. Even after more than twenty years of imprisonment, you haven’t improved at all. Do you still think I’m the weak pushover I was before?” Harlan’s gaze gradually softened with a touch of pity.

2/3

Simeon’s excessive arrogance had indeed brought about his downfall. He concentrated all his soul energy on that black waterlily and inadvertently granted Harlan a fortuitous opportunity.

“Hahaha…” Harlan cackled smugly.

In that very instant, a blaze of firelight illuminated the scene as Emrys sprang into action.

He extended his right index finger, emitting spirit fire that swiftly morphed into a blazing longsword aimed at Harlan.

Wherever the spirit fire passed, it ignited the black soul energy emanating from Harlan’s entire body, producing a crackling sound. Simultaneously, the air became saturated with an acrid, burned scent.
