One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 1037 Your divine power isn't male!
A mournful wail echoed throughout the secret realm.

Even the Fuxi Talisman, suspended in mid-air, trembled slightly.

Then, hundreds of ghosts, emanating an even more exaggerated aura, appeared behind the Gathering Souls.

Under the influence of the special divine power of the Soul Gathering God, the ghosts condensed a semi-transparent, special tentacle between illusion and reality on their chests and connected this tentacle to the back of the Soul Gathering God.

With hundreds of tentacles overlapping each other, at first glance, the God of Soul Gathering looks like a porcupine spirit, making the scene somewhat comical.

However, the aura of the gathered souls recovered at an extremely fast speed, and even the divine power and the primordial energy were rapidly recovering.

This move is not difficult to analyze. Even though there is a significant difference in strength between the two sides, the All-Seeing Eye still quickly provided a skill analysis:
【Gathering Souls】

[Type: Active Skills]

[Rank: Divine Skill]

[Department: Soul]

[Consumes: Soul Form]

[Chanting Time: None]

[Cooldown time: One week]

[Effect: Manipulates the soul entity stored within the Soul Banner, injecting its primordial power into the skill user and transforming it into any power needed by the user, including divine power and primordial energy, to rapidly restore combat strength or amplify the Tremor effect. The consumed soul entity will completely dissipate after its primordial power is fully exhausted; this effect is irreversible.]

[Note: All souls of the world, heed my command!]

Yo ho.

I never expected that the Soul Gathering technique would have such a hidden trump card.

To be honest, if Fuxi Fu hadn't been defeated directly, Juhun probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.

But this guy held back even in a life-or-death situation, and he was so dishonest with his own people, he really deserves to die.

After reading about the Soul Gathering God's [Soul Gathering] effect, Lin Yi finally understood why this guy could quickly restore the divine power and primordial energy that were supposed to be unable to be restored in a short time.

So it turns out that they forcibly borrowed the power of others.

It's all too coincidental, isn't it?

If the opponent possessed other divine powers, they might truly be helpless against the Soul Gathering technique.

But whose power did Lin Yi inherit?

That was the divine power of Qin Guang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls.

While both are manipulators of souls, Qin Guang is inferior to Juhun in terms of divine power.

Qin Guang's abilities are quite pure; aside from his skill in manipulating souls, he is truly no less capable than the God of Soul Gathering.

"Brother, you'd better run! That Soul Gatherer is actually regaining his divine power!"

“His divine power recovers very quickly. Even if he only recovers 20% or 30%, we are still no match for him. Before he fully unleashes his moves, you should leave quickly. We two brothers will cover you.”

Helburn and Morris, you know what, they're pretty shrewd!
In terms of skill, both of them are indeed quite average.

But when it comes to chivalry and honor, there's no doubt about it!
Based on the principle that their lives were given to them by Lin Yi and should be returned to him, the two swung their natal artifacts and charged towards Juhun after finishing their conversation, seemingly trying to interrupt Juhun's spellcasting.

The two men knew perfectly well that this was no different from suicide, and that they would be branded as traitors after death. Yet, without the slightest hesitation, after a brief explanation, they took their first steps, ready to charge forward. Strangely, the moment they took their first step, a powerful force forcibly pulled them back.

"Hey, hey, you two big shots, don't get excited, don't get excited. Things aren't so bad that we need to risk our lives yet."

The one who made the move was Lin Yi.

"The most distinctive feature of that guy's divine power is his control over the soul, directly converting the soul's essence into the power he needs. I admit that I am inferior to him in this respect; I cannot do that."

Lin Yi changed the subject, a confident smile appearing on his lips.

"But when it comes to soul manipulation, I've never been inferior to anyone. As the saying goes, there's a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own expertise. I refuse to believe this nonsense today. This guy can beat me in soul manipulation!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the [Interlacing Light and Shadow] skill was activated.

Without warning, Lin Yi appeared behind the Soul Gathering God, who was cosplaying as a porcupine, and reached out to grab the special tentacle on the back of the Soul Gathering God.

Seeing this, Juhun responded to Lin Yi's actions with a sneer.

"Foolish boy, do you really think you're invincible? How could you so easily dabble in other people's techniques? If you're really that powerful, I'll have the Celestial King bestow upon you the title of God of Ten Thousand Souls. What do you say?"

The special tentacles extending from the hundreds of soul bodies are formed from the essence of the soul.

With the blessing of the Soul Gathering God's divine power, this thing cannot be easily broken unless one also possesses the special divine power to control souls, even if one's divine power level is similar to that of the Soul Gathering God.

That's why the God of Soul Gathering didn't seem to care at all when he saw Lin Yi trying to interrupt his spell.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Ju Hun's face turned deathly pale.

"I think the title of God of Ten Thousand Souls is not bad. It sounds prestigious, but it's not domineering enough. What's so proud of just being a god who controls souls? Let's not have this title for now."

A confident smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips.

The power he released from his hands was the divine power of Qin Guang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls.

The instant the divine power made contact with the tentacle, Lin Yi resonated strongly with the soul within the soul banner.

The soul can exist because it is supported by the fundamental power of the soul.

The ghosts have their own thoughts and know that once they give away their soul essence, they will completely disappear from this world. Naturally, they are unwilling to do so.

Unfortunately, under the restrictions of the Soul Banner, they can only completely obey the orders of the Soul Gathering. Even if the Soul Gathering wants them to die, they can only obediently go and do so.

But it's different now.

The moment the Lord of All Souls' divine power came into contact with them, they saw a glimmer of hope for life.

The moment they came into contact with the divine power of the Lord of All Souls, they regained some of their autonomy. Some of the more powerful ghosts even began to try to pull out the tentacles that connected them to the Soul Gathering.

As the initial controller of these spirits, Soul Gathering could clearly perceive their state. After clearly sensing their restlessness and strong desire to resist, Soul Gathering finally began to panic.

This kid, how could he be like this!

With so many attack methods, including spatial and void skills, and so many abilities, how could he possibly possess the divine power to manipulate souls? What makes this kid so all-powerful?
Moreover, this kid was able to influence the ghosts he controlled despite being far inferior to him in terms of divine power. Doesn't that mean that the young man in front of him was at least more skilled in soul manipulation than he was? What kind of joke is this? The God of Soul Gathering has been researching soul manipulation for thousands of years!

"Oh, it's not working now? Looks like your soul-controlling power isn't male."
