An army of Immortals was fighting against hideous creatures. These creatures were black and mist-like with only a few streams of purple lines inside their body.

Their bodies could not be harmed physically as they were Soul Beasts. Creatures that were made from the souls of beasts. They were an amalgamation of multiple souls combined to create one body. 

The immortals were simply the vanguard that kept the beasts at bay. The fight that determined the winner of the battle was happening in the middle of the Soul Beast army. 

5 figures were flying high above the sky, their figures were imposing and emitted immense pressure as they faced a creature that towered over them. Its 4 heads stared at them with multiple eyes.

As its multitude of arms swung at them. Seeing the gigantic arms that were aiming towards them, the five figures didn't even flinch. Anything that approached them was obliterated.

"Zhou Yan, give up the item and we'll leave your corpse intact." 

The monstrous figure named Zhou Yan snorted. He knew that it was a lost battle from the start, there was no way he would be able to beat them. And there was no way he would be able to hide from them.

"If you want the treasure you'll have to take it from my corpse." 

Zhou Yan mocked them as the cries of souls intensified. As the 5 figures cut through space in a desperate flee. They already knew of his plans, as the massive wave of energy released was no joke.

Zhou Yan planned to explode his soul, hoping to deal serious damage to those 5 figures while killing the insects fighting his army. There was no way his suicidal tactic would kill the 5 Deities, at most he would seriously injure them, but that was about it. 

As the cries of souls reached their maximum peak, Zhou Yan's soul exploded into a fine purple mushroom. It destroyed his Soul Beast army and killed many of the immortals who couldn't escape in time. 

The 5 Deities were left in a bad shape but none of them died. When they re-visited the area, there was only a massive crater. 

Zhou Yan's soul had already breached the border that separates the Immortal Lands and Mortal Planes. His soul was in a deep coma as it was carried by the mysterious treasure that those 5 Deities were after.

Back in a Mortal Plane, Zhou Yan's soul drifted to a random area, under the guide of fate.
