Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1167: In the Depths of the Galaxy

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Deep in the universe, there was a place.

It was on a broken cliff too.

It was dark fog down below the cliff. It was too casual to call it dark. It was darker than the darkness.

Two shadows were concentrated in fishing on the cliff.

One person was suddenly shocked. He looked unbelieving while staring at the fishing pole which was covered by rolling dark fog. "What? My fruit is gone too."

The other nodded. "Just like mine, right?"

"Yes." The first said, "Somebody cut the soul connection and took the fruits. It was so smooth. Impressive!"

The other shadow stayed silent for a while and then said, "This is not normal. It happened twice today. We didn't loose alert, did we? Yet the fruits were gone again… It seems quite different this time, unlike the previous ones… Did they happen to know how to cut the soul connection down there?"

"Impossible!" The first one decisively said, "They are a bunch of ants in a cheap realm. How could they possibly cut the soul connection of yours or mine? Unless a frog can swallow the sky or an ant can shake a big tree!"

"Not to mention the ants, even if the conqueror's level cultivators in Human Realm Upon Heavens attempt to cut the soul connection, they would definitely trigger our alerts, and none of them could cut it so fast and traceless! We are talking about a much lower realm, the world that we use as a pond for fishing!"

"I understand. Then how do we explain what happened? It happened twice! Is there anything happening that is beyond our predicting capability?" the other person frowned and said.

Before he finished, the two of them started to move their fingers, trying to make a fortune telling…

After a while, they stopped sullenly.

"I got nothing. It seems… nothing special is happening…" The first shadow took a deep breath and said, "This is so weird. Such a strange thing just happened right in front of us!"

"Could it be… there is a stronger figure appearing in the low realm that we couldn't know in advance…" the latter one said.

"What are you talking about?" The first person humphed, "You and I are in the highest level in the universe. Those bastards in Human Realm Upon Heavens are only almost equal to us. There is absolutely nobody who could be stronger than us! Even if there is, we would have known it!"

"But how did it happen twice? Somebody cut the soul connection in such a traceless way. Even you and I, are you sure we can do the same?" The other person was confused about the current situation. In fact, he was a bit respectful to whoever cut the soul connection twice.

"I am curious too. Since he is so powerful, why would he want the bait of ours? It's a pity that we can't break the barrier of the heaven's will. Otherwise, we can go and check it out. I am afraid there is no way to see the truth." The first person stayed in deep thought and then said, "Maybe we can try put down the baits several more times. He took the baits twice. That means he is interested in the fruits. Let's try it for a few more times and see how he did it. Maybe we can get information about his background or anything else about him."

The other person said, "That's right. It has taken us hundreds of thousand years and a great number of efforts to create over a thousand low-level realms only to get the best soul cores. Yet this is the only realm that produces good soul cores. We can't just give up on it. Even if that man is mighty, we can absolutely defeat him if we fight side by side, can't we?"

Apparently, the two unknown figures had a high opinion of the man who cut their soul connection. They even thought that the man was stronger than themselves. That was the caution a supreme cultivator had when facing unknown enemies. After all, the way Erhuo took the fruits and cut the soul connection was marvelous. Even the two strange figures didn't know how it was done!

Erhuo always called itself the 'foremost spirit in chaos'. It seemed it didn't just make it up!

The first nodded to agree. It took a black ball from a bunch of balls in a plate. Those were precisely the balls of the souls and bodies of the cultivators they caught.

The man took a closer look at the black ball and then threw it into the mouth. After chewing, he said, "Good meat! Tenacious! It does taste good. I never get bored eating these things… It benefits my soul hall after all… We just can't quit it."

"Again!"

"Yes, again!"

The two of them both laughed. The dark fog was rolling again, and a string was thrown out again with the baits.

"Oh? It is a good idea to let somebody take the fruits though. Look how the fish become crazy after that… Somebody took the bait so soon…" The shadow on the left side laughed and raised the fishing pole. A black ball was pulled out of the dark fog."

"Let me have a try… Oh, that's true! We don't even need to wait anymore." The one on the right laughed out loud. He raised his hand, and a black ball came out from the dark fog and flew into his hand.

"What a shame. The channel only allows one string to get through at a time. If it allows either of us to get through, even if we just send our soul to go there, we can eat as many as we want…" The man on the right drooled with greed. Two drops of saliva dropped off his mouth.

As the saliva dropped into the dark fog, the fog started to roll up and down. Suddenly, it became denser. In the dark fog, many skeletons showed up… and filled up everywhere…

In a burst of miserable exclamation… some things were begging, crying, shouting…

The two of them were indifferent about the exclamation. They just casually waved their hands, and the skeletons suddenly cracked into pieces and became a part of the dark fog…

"The barrier is too strong for us at the moment." The other man laughed and said, "However, as long as we get enough soul cores… Day after day, the energy will be enough for us to break our limit someday. Then we can go wherever we want and travel every corner of the galaxy."

"When that day comes, we can eat whatever we want!" The man on the right was looking forward to it. His eyes seemed to burst into a mass of dark fog. He started to giggle and said, "Someday, we will break the limit. When the day comes, I will go to this realm that we are fishing now. I will eat every single fish in it!"

"Hahahahaha…"

In the waves of laughter, the two dark shadows took turns to hold the fishing pole and kept getting soul cores from down the cliff. It seemed they were having much more acquisition than usual on this day…

However, when each of them got over a hundred soul cores…

The man on the right suddenly exclaimed.
