Soul Angels & Demons

Chapter 12 - The Eternal Fire Legacy

Zee, who heard the interruptions from Chi, rushed towards the room where the footsteps were moving.

"Did you see it?"

Strange footsteps and murmurs from someone who seemed to be dead, stepped towards the cave not far from where Zee was hiding.

"Yes, that's why you need to increase your powers of consciousness right away,"

"Actually I felt, a fairly dense aura of chaos in this cave that's why I woke up. And the creature you saw was an undead" Chi told Zee, who still doesn't believe what he's seeing.

"I thought Zombies were just myths, I didn't expect such creatures to actually exist" said Zee.

"Then what should we do now?"

Chi then circulated the power of his consciousness to sense the energy that might give them a clue.

"Huh."

"Basic sucks! even my powers of consciousness are restricted in this place, prohibitions and protective seals are too many, I think you should follow the Undead to find a clue."

Zee, who is quite confused by the circumstances, agrees to Chi's advice, considering that he also has to investigate a foreign place that he has not been in for a long time.

Tuk Tuks!

In a hall at the end of the hall, Zee saw the Zombie he was following stopped at a large statue with his fierce face while holding a whip.

There Zee not only saw the Zombie he was following earlier, but also hundreds of other Zombies who were also standing staring blankly at the statue.

Instantly Zee learns it is a statue of a god, who likely has a mysterious seal that makes the zombies gathered in front of him.

"Rarrr raahh!"

A slash!

Zee quickly decapitated the undead that suddenly appeared behind him.

"Aish fucking just startle!"

And the hundreds of other Living Corpses that saw it walked flocking towards Zee.

Zee began to be wary and immediately took out the sword granting the tartar horde and immediately flowed it with a spiritual aura.

"Yeshaath!"

Slash after slash he lay and hit the dozens of Zombies surrounding him. The slashed zombies were strangely reunited, there were like black-colored worms uniting their bodies.

The Zee, who was overwhelmed by his mortal enemy, decided to jump on the heads of some zombies and run towards another cave passage.

"God! they really can't die do you have an idea now!?" ask Zee who was only given a saddle by Chi.

"Freely I haven't been able to feel their weakness at the moment, a seal that is strong enough weakens my strength" said Chi who had yet to find the problem.

***

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the cave, the master stage cultivators who had killed each other, had now stopped the battle because they saw an outside event in front of them.

The corpses of the dead sect disciples, quickly rose again as they were entered by mysterious black worms.

"Fuck up! what the fuck!" said senior Gao who was very surprised to see the dead disciples rise again.

"Grrrr!"

OH, BAAANGG!!!

His bull spiritual aura instantly shot towards the zombies in front of him. But alas, the powerful Master level attack he unleashed was instead sucked by the undead he attacked.

Yu Xuan and senior Gao looked at each other while astonished at what was happening. Even the Zombie that was torn apart with disgust re-united.

"Senior Gao! I think we should put aside the old grudges and unite to defeat these undead!" said Yu Xuan who was only answered by a snort, senior Gao.

In the end, the two of them and their group must work together to defeat hundreds of dead bodies that began to appear

Xiao Ze, managed to run away from the slow-moving Zombie chase, and then entered into a space that had a water pond and a strange little ancient pavilion in front of him.

"Even here is really very crowded, I really have never gone to a place with spiritual air like this" said Zee while looking and feeling the aura around him.

"This cave is sealed with the power of a saint cultivator, and the many invisible prohibition seals within this place are truly mysterious."

Zee slightly stepped towards the small pavilion and saw a lantern still burning with its purplish-colored flame.

"Retreat!"

SWOUNG UP!!

Zee got a very strong aura pressure until he bounced a dozen meters back. The glass of the small lantern was then split apart and a purple flame came out which formed a turtle-shaped creature, complete with thorns in its shell

"Oh!"

"Fire turtles? is he so strong!" asked Zee who was replied nodding by Chi.

"Right, his spirit energy is indeed just a small piece, but his strength can be juxtaposed with my internal spirit power now!" obviously Chi.

SWOUNG UP!!

"It's only fitting that you have so much trouble researching this place, it turns out that he is indeed very strong!" said Zee while holding Aura with all her strength.

GROOAAARR!!

"I feel the darkness and misfortune of the young hydra monster!, who are you and what do you want to come here!" ask that spirit essence to Zee who was still trying to stay awake.

"Rancid turtle! don't think only you can suppress someone!"

NGUUNGG!!

Chi transformed from his small snake form and turned into the fierce Hydra Beast.

***

The pressure from the essences of the two ancient spirit beasts made Zee barely conscious. Seeing that, Chi took out 2 times his Spiritual energy directing pressure at the fire turtle which was only a piece of Spirit essence, until it was cornered and shrunk back into the ancient lantern.

Chi returns to the form of a small black snake and covers Zee's neck.

"Hoshis... Hosh!"

Zee normalized his soul consciousness by flowing spiritual energy while hitting his finger towards the chest.

"Little man! tell me why are you with that Hydra snake?" ask the turtle spirit inside the pavilion.

Zee stood up and stared at the essence Spirit Tortoise. " I accidentally met Sword Chi in a forest, and he saved my life several times."

***

"Aren't you afraid that the spirit beast will engulf your soul and take over your body?" asked the turtle spirit back which made Zee a little confused to answer. Chi who was upset because she was shunned by turtles became emotional.

"That's Enough!!"

"Actually what do you want you old turtle base?!" snapped Chi at seeing the turtle asking an unimportant question.

"Haha!"

"Dirty switch! do you think you're the only one who wants to float freely in this world?..."

"I've been stuck in this place for over forty thousand years. I think I need a vacation." staring at Zee the turtle said.

"Hey human boy, what if we make an exchange?"

Zee frowned slightly at the request, but after seeing Chi and he seemed to agree, Zee approached the fire lantern.

"Master turtle is what you want to trade from me?, I don't think there is anything in the world that is valuable except the Black Sword in my body."

The fire of the lantern floated and turned into an old man in all-purple clothes.

"Of course you have the thing I need, I feel the power of the demon sealing disc within your spatial ring."

"I used to have my real body fight with a great holy stage warrior hermit! after cornered myself on the ground, the spirit of prohibition appeared and managed to beat him back and separate himself from the heart demon that had been influencing his mind." explained the fire turtle spirit.

"After he realized that the demon that was residing turned into thousands of vitality-sucking spirit worms that were very dangerous, it was fortunate that the man was quite wise, he said, he and his students made a fortress and for the rest of his life he used it to seal this place..."

"I will exchange my Eternal Flame as long as you want to use that Disc in front of the Wang Ji Devotion Pavilion" the turtle spirit solemnly said.

Zee looked towards Chi asking for his approval and opinion. 'Eternal fire can be used to cure diseases and poisons, it is a very good item if you later want to learn to be a compounder.' Chi said in Zee's mind.

Zee looked at the turtle elder and agreed with his offer. The eternal flame then floated towards Zee and fused with his soul aura.

During the reunion, Zee gains the ultimate vision of the fire turtle, seeing the dying Wang Ji withhold the curse seal for hundreds of years, his heart was touched and gave the spirit essence of the Eternal Flame to him.

They also used blood seals to make a sibling bond.

But one time another holy stage warrior who was in a dark stream, entered the ancient relic palace and made a mess made a demon spirit seep into his soul, killing the fire turtle and severely injuring Wang Ji. Luckily Wang Ji, still had the power of defeating and sealing the fighting spirit in the stone statue of the God of Chaos.

Since he was also already dying, Wang Ji took the remnants of the fire turtle spirit essence and fused it with his Eternal Flame.

***

"If you lie you will be burned by the seal of the Eternal Flame that I planted on your body, so be a true man and keep your promise." and soon the fire turtle spirit essence slowly began to disappear from Zee's sight.

Zee who saw the elder willingly releasing his spirit essence to him was actually a little astonished and before the spirit was completely gone he asked him.

"Elder! do you really believe me?"

That Spirit Essence that was about to disappear was slightly smiling. "If the Hydra beast can trust you, then there's nothing for me to doubt." explained the fire turtle while looking at the two.

'I'll catch up with you soon old friend' and the essence of the fire Tortoise Spirit completely disappeared.
