Back For My Daughter

Close to the outskirts of Star City.

With a loud thumping sound as if something heavy had hit the ground while also making a few cracks on the hard and strong concrete road, the Corpse General fell to his knees.

Meanwhile, a few tens of meters away from his current position, there lay something which looked more like a hand.

But what was shocking about it was the fact that the hand looked as if it was burning.

The scarlet flames burning upon that hand made it look quite mesmerizing since the flame was not frightening and instead so dazzlingly beautiful that it would make anyone just continue to stare at it.

It was like the flame was dancing on its own rhythm not wary about the time the world was taking.

And just from the looks of it, anyone would feel that it was not any normal fire that could be set by a matchstick or a lighter.

This kind of flame was enough to give many poets inspiration for their new poems.


But the thing upon this the flame was burning right now would definitely not make anyone to be inspired but to be frightened with terror.

That was because, no matter how beautiful and mesmerizing the flame looked, there was also a frightening fear that it instilled in one's heart, and the obvious reason was the fact that the flame was burning someone who looked like a hand.

And it was a complete arm which seemed to be ripped apart right from the shoulder joint with the sheer strength of the pull.
But the arm seemed to have its fingers and wrist burned away until it was just a few inches away from the below.

It was quite serious to see a flame burning an arm which didn't look as if it was just removed from the body.

But the flame also didn't rage like normal fire as it slowly and steadily continued to turn the arm into nothingness, not even leaving behind any kind of ash that any normal fire would.

As for the person to whom this burning arm belonged to, he was growling madly, but the sound didn't resemble any person or any kind of animal in any way at all.

Right now, Corpse General Xue who had felt as if he had gone through all the 11 layers of hell, under the torment of this crazy flame which had left him with no other option but to decapitate his own arm.

The pain he had just experienced was definitely not something that he would want to experience for even half a moment if he was given a choice to.

Right now, he glanced at his right shoulder which had a few tendons which remained taut after pulling the arm giving it a look as if they were some wires.

He could still feel quite a piercing pain on his shoulder, but it was definitely far way less than what he was suffering for more than 2 minutes.

If not for him already dead, he had already thought that the pain was enough to make him die for at least ten gruesome deaths.

The pain that he felt was not due to his arm being burned by an unknown flame, but because what the flame burned away was not just his body but also a part of his soul.

Given his condition, there was no way that he would be able to feel any kind of physical pain since all of his nerves had been completely disintegrated.

But the soul which was forcefully kept within his body was not something that could not feel any pain.

The Fire of Pridid was a Hellish Flame which only acted upon the soul of the person.

As for the reason why even the body was being burned, it was because of its nature as a fire.

But the pain of one's soul being harmed was definitely thousands if not more times more painful than having one's whole body to be tormented with pain.

That was because when Ye Qian entered the Spirit Repulsion Layer which surrounded the Earth, not only had he suffered the catastrophic forceful degradation of his strength but he also had to suffer his soul to be injured.

Although the injury of the soul would recover with time, but the pain was definitely not something that anyone on the planet would be able to live after experiencing.

One had to know that Ye Qian was someone who had reached the realm of Void Immortal, and cultivation would not only help one to have more vitality and life essence in order to live, or strength, but it would also alternately strengthen one's soul.

Because, if the soul is not strong enough then no matter how much strong a body is, the body would definitely fall apart with not enough ability to be controlled.

Of course, it was also the same another way around as well.

It would be similar to how a mecha would be used by using some batteries instead of a high-power cell which it would need in order to work properly.

But Ye Qian knew that it was due to some luck that his soul was not harmed much, if not then knowing that even he was not able to discern the strength of the Spirit Repulsion Layer surrounding the planet, it was possible that he could even forget about meeting his family once again.

But at that time, Ye Qian had been just too dragged by his emotions making him lose his sense of thinking as he didn't think about its consequences.

But after living out of it, he knew that his move had been too hasty, if not for his fortune he knew that the worst scenario would that he would completely lose his soul and roam around like a headless body in this world.

After thinking about it, Ye Qian had shivered for quite a long time and prayed to the world and the heavens for letting him meet his daughter.
