CHAPTER 1343 THE FIEND RACE WAS VERY POWERFUL
The Rule Soul Avatar unleashed his strong Spirit Power in search for Turan, but didn't find any trace of
him. Turan's successful escape was a silent cause for concern for the two. The higher ups of the fiend
race would now inevitably find out that two humans had snuck into the territory of the fiend race.
"Finally! I've been promoted!"
Merle raised his head and ripped out a terrifying roar. Since he had merged with an emperor from the
fiend race, the level of his soul was promoted to the Celestial God Realm, which could now match with
his physical strength. Through this method, he grew much more powerful compared to before. If he had
possessed such strength earlier, he wouldn't have been so miserable and been killed several times
over.
"I certainly underestimated your strength."
Merle flew to the Rule Soul Avatar's side.
The Rule Soul Avatar kept a stoic expression and did not respond to Merle. Instead, he concentrated
on looking for Jenifer.
Fortunately, he had imprinted a mark on her body before sending her away. Otherwise it would be
impossible to track down a single person in the vast land they were in.
"Let's go," said the Rule Soul Avatar after finally sensing the direction of Jenifer's presence. He was
just ready to set off.
"Hey, wait!"
Merle hollered. Then, he flew over to the group of fiend maids.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without any warning, he released his strong fiend power and killed them all.
"What did you do that for?"
Most of these low-grade fiend maids came from remote areas, and they couldn't actually cause much
harm to humans. The wars between races in the Primitive Wilderness were always started by the owns this.
senior leaders.
Thus, the Rule Soul Avatar didn't understand why Merle went and did such a thing.
"Anyone who isn't from the human race must die!" This was one of Merle's core beliefs now. If his
merging ability was not limited by the laws, he would have killed a lot of humans by now, let alone
fiends.
The Rule Soul Avatar said nothing more in reply. Instead, he turned around and imitated a nearby fiend
using the Copying Skill before he flew towards the northwest. Merle, suspicious, followed him closely.
After several hours of flying, the Rule Soul Avatar stopped in his tracks.
He had sensed that Jenifer was nearby, but when he stopped, he suddenly found that she was already
a million kilometers away and the distance between them was quickly increasing.
The Rule Soul Avatar narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance with a gaze that looked like it
could penetrate into layers of space.
"Hey, Xavier, look around and help me find out if there's a fiend stronger than me around here," said
Merle. He was eager to merge with stronger fiends.
Once again, the Rule Soul Avatar responded with a deafening silence. He was still analyzing the mark
left on Jenifer's body as his silvery eyes flashed with brilliant light.
"Naters Empire." The Rule Soul Avatar traced the location through the mark on Jenifer's body.
Immediately, he began to look for any memory about the Naters Empire that was stored in the body of
the fiend he had copied.
With a steady stream of information pouring in, the Rule Soul Avatar instantly received all of the
knowledge he needed.
It turned out that within the fiend land there were eight fiend empires in total. He and Merle were now in
a very remote corner of the fiend race, while the truly authentic fiends were dispersed among the eight
fiend empires.
From the memories of the fiend he had copied, the Rule Soul Avatar learnt that every one of the eight
empires had extremely powerful fiend gods as leaders. After careful pondering, the Rule Soul Avatar
came to the conclusion that any one of the eight empires was powerful enough to contend with the
entire human race.
The Rule Soul Avatar could not be more shocked at such a conclusion.
It turned out that the human race was even weaker than he had imagined.
This conclusion was merely based on the current fiend land he was in. However, there were many
other fiend races in the Primitive Wilderness to consider as well. Additionally, there were dozens of
other races, including the angel race, the Shura race, and the Dark Night race.
The Rule Soul Avatar could not understand how a race as weak as the human race had survived in the
Primitive Wilderness all this time.
In the face of so many powerful races, the human race hadn't yet died out. Instead, they continued to
survive and live their lives as a part of the Primitive Wilderness. This was somewhat inconceivable to
him.
However, on second thoughts, the Rule Soul Avatar realized that his conclusion was only based on the
strength of the human race that he'd learnt from some leftover laws. There was a limit to what he could
analyze about the powerful background of the human race given his current knowledge.
Perhaps, the human race still had some transcendent members.
"What the hell are you doing? Say something!"
Merle asked anxiously, seeing that the Rule Soul Avatar was silently spacing out with a very cold
expression.
"Come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"To the Naters Empire."
"You're going to look for that woman?"
"Yes."
After merging with the fiend emperor, Merle also received information about the eight empires. The
terrifying power of the eight empires scared him a little.
If it were up to him, he would be better off staying at the edge zone to look for stronger fiends to merge
with. After slowly gaining strength this way, he could make his way to the empires.
He vehemently disagreed with the Rule Soul Avatar's plan of heading straight to the Naters Empire
since it seemed too brash.
"Can't we wait for a few years before we head over there?"
asked Merle. He had a big change in his attitude towards the Rule Soul Avatar. He no longer spoke to
him in a matter-of-fact commanding tone.
"No, I can't," the Rule Soul Avatar answered sternly and soared off.
Merle made a sour face at the answer, but he couldn't just leave the Rule Soul Avatar and head out on
his own. Left with no other option, he followed right after him.
Under the blood-red clouds, two figures launched themselves towards the area's transmission array.
The Rule Soul Avatar and Merle weren't the only creatures travelling through the vast sky. There were
huge unknown fiends passing by every now and then. Those powerful creatures were comparable to
humans at the Superior God Realm.
For some of these fiends, their strength was much too mysteriously powerful for the Rule Soul Avatar
to determine.
The Rule Soul Avatar could not help but sigh in resignation. This only confirmed his conclusion that the
fiend race trumped the human race as a whole in terms of power.
As they went on their way, the powerful fiends whizzed past them in a hurry, without paying much
attention to them. Merle's heart raced nervously at the sight. He was terrified, and couldn't help but
tremble with fear.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the transmission array in a region of the fiend land.
Countless fiends dwelt in both sides of a valley. The valley was exactly the transmission array.
"Xavier, we have to fall back,"
said Merle to the Rule Soul Avatar through his spiritual sense. Although he was already at the Celestial
God Realm, the amount of powerful fiendish auras suppressing him put him at incredible unease.
Even in such a remote area, there were already so many powerful fiends lurking around. It didn't take
much imagination for him to expect that they'd meet even more powerful beings once they reached one
of the empires of the fiend race.
It would be very difficult for Merle to kill and merge with a fiend in a place where countless powerful
fiend masters were around.
"Out of the way! All of you!"
Suddenly, on one side of the valley, near the place where the Rule Soul Avatar and Merle were, a
ferocious roar was heard. They immediately stepped aside.
In the distance, four fiends with red scales on their bodies dragged two disheveled creatures over by
very strange dark red chains.
The Rule Soul Avatar and Merle immediately shifted their eyes to the direction of the roar. Their hearts
wrenched at the scene.
The four fiends were dragging a man and a woman from the human race. The two humans were
covered in bruises, and dirt and grime covered their faces. They slowly limped forward as they were
being dragged by the chains.
The Rule Soul Avatar was stunned by the sight of these pitiful humans. Even the crowd of fiends
around them couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"They are Defiant Masters of the human race!"
"Those are the fiend gods of one of the eight empires. Only they have the capability to capture the
Defiant Masters of the human race."
Defiant Masters of the human race were considered to be the most annoying and troublesome
existence for all the other races.
