Lin Mu's actions had not gone unnoticed though, and the person behind it had been watching it all.

"It's him again!" Yao Changying hovered in the air cross legged as an indigo colored wisp floated in front of her chest. Fine tendrils were extending from her chest and connecting to the Soul Fragment, absorbing it steadily.

'Just focus on the task at hand. My Soul Fragment is a lot more important than him right now.' A voice rang in her head.

"I know." Yao Changying said with a frown. "But the stalling measures won't last long. I can only maintain so many Spatial Rifts even with the power of the Key." "Once you've absorbed at least half of the Soul Fragment, I'll be able to handle the rest. Then you can take care of them." The voice replied, a hint of unease in it.

But as time went by, Yao Changying's anxiety continued to increase. She was watching Lin Mu closing the Spatial Rifts which should have been impossible by normal means.

"How is he even doing that? What is he?" She couldn't help but question. "He seems different from what we saw before… is he the same as us?" she wondered

She remembered seeing the form of Lin Mo, who had threatened them openly. She had felt the dangerous power emitting from him and the deadly aura that surrounded him.

'Whoever he is, he is not simple. He seems to be fine now, but that aura he had back then… it was definitely that of the Devils.' The voice replied. 'Back when I was still alive, I had faced someone like him.' She revealed.

"In your time as the Withered Spirit Daoist?" Yao Changying asked. "Whom did you face?"

"Yes…" The Soul of the Withered Spirit Daoist answered. "The one that I faced was a Devil cultivator called as the Spear Toothed Devil. His power was a lot greater than mine and if not for the help of my master, I would've died." She explained.

"That strong?" Yao Changying was surprised. "How does that compare to him?" she asked.

"While the Spear Toothed Devil was a lot stronger in cultivation compared to him, the aura that this man had… it was far too strong. That look in his eyes and the way he absorbed souls… it is not something any normal devil cultivator can do. If he really is like us, the soul he has within him might belong to a War Devil or perhaps an Elder Devil." The Withered Spirit Daoist answered feeling doubtful.

Yao Changying didn't know what either of those were, but from the tone of her 'companion' she could at least tell they were terrifyingly strong. "Since that soul isn't active right now, we need to get rid of him. We can't have it come out…" Yao Changying stated.

"You're right. That thing really might be able to erase our souls." The Withered Spirit Daoist remembered the threat Lin Mo had given them. 'He was also the only one that managed to sense me.' She thought to herself.

There was no falsehood in his eyes and they knew he would really do it if given the chance.

But as Yao Changying heard this, a thought appeared in her mind.

"Do you think… it might have been him that destroyed the third Soul Fragment?" Yao Changying questioned. "He was here too and was attempting to get it." She added.

"It might just have been… There aren't many that would be able to destroy my soul fragments. If anything, they would only end up getting their bodies taken over. But if it was the power of a devil… things would change." The Withered Spirit Daoist said in a serious tone.

"Then we need to kill him." Yao Changying said with hate. "We cannot afford to let him be alive. If not for the fact that we need to keep the emperors busy, I'd have sent everyone to attack him right now." She uttered.

If not for her hands being tied, she would not have been here alone. "Just a little more. We're close to being done half." The Withered Spirit Daoist urged. "Once we have that, dealing with him will be possible, and when it's fully absorbed, there won't be anyone that will be able to stop us." She said, feeling excited.

Yao Changying simply nodded in response and focused on absorbing the soul fragment as the size of the indigo wisp began to decrease at a faster rate.

This had been the entire reason she had used the Chimeric Beasts to stop Lin Mu and his companions and not herself. After having blocked the explosion from the Atlantean Neptunium, she was a bit injured and needed to recover as well as absorb the soul fragment.

All the other Black Ying Empire members were currently busy in leading battles in the three continents and occupying the attention of the other empires. But if even a single emperor managed to find out what was happening here, they could rush over and attempt to stop her.

In her current state of absorption, she was highly vulnerable.

Ideally speaking, she should have done this in a safe place with a Dharma protector, but the detonation of the Atlantean Neptunium had forced her hand. The way she had saved the Sou fragment had been to connect to it, so that her body could protect it. And connecting to it meant that she was now forced to begin the absorption. But if there was anything Yao Changying was, it was stubborn. She would never turn on her goals now that she was this close to them.

'I'll kill you, Mu Lin. No matter what I have to do.' Yao Changying had never forgotten the multiple humiliations she had suffered at his hands.

She had given up a lot to gain this power, and she was not going to let her sacrifice go to waste. She would get what she deserved, for she believed she was born to rule over it all.
