“Lachlan Willis, stop mourning! Quickly absorb Lady Scarlett’s soul energy!
If you don’t, I won’t be polite!”
At that moment, Elder Drake Candlewood’s voice rang out urgently, reminding him.
It hadn’t expected things to end this way!
Lachlan Willis didn’t die; instead, someone else had died in his place.
Dragon Ancestor felt a wave of emotion.
That meant it couldn’t take over Lachlan Willis’s body anymore.
But it wasn’t exactly disappointed.
While Lachlan Willis’s body had great potential, it ultimately wasn’t ideal for the Dragon Ancestor.
However, the soul energy Lady Scarlett left behind after burning her soul was something Elder Drake Candlewood greatly coveted.
“I… how could I absorb her soul energy?”
Lachlan Willis roared in anger and despair.
“Kid, there’s no need to hesitate! She gave up her life for you, scattering her soul. If you absorb her soul energy, it’s like keeping her soul with you forever.
If you don’t, I won’t hesitate to take it myself!”
Elder Drake Candlewood said.
“Do whatever you want!”
At this moment, Lachlan Willis’s heart was filled with intense grief, killing intent, and pain.
He had now escaped the Transformation of Immortal-Demon Blood.
His eyes, filled with boundless rage and hatred, turned toward the giant eyes of the Ancestral Sacred Temple.
“Ahhhh…”
“I’ll kill you!”
Lachlan Willis yelled in fury, rising into the air and charging toward the temple’s top.
*Boom! Boom! Boom…*
Lady Scarlett’s soul scattering had caused Lachlan Willis to become completely frenzied.
He screamed and viciously attacked the giant eyes, venting all his grief and hatred.
However, the giant eyes, though visible, seemed to be nothing more than an image and were unaffected by Lachlan Willis’s physical attacks.
“I’ll tear you to pieces!”
Lachlan Willis growled with a cold tone.
The next moment, he was about to activate his newly acquired ability, “Gaze Locking Divine Inquiry,” from the Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique.
Sacrificing his vision, this technique would allow him to sense everything in the world.
Even if something was hidden in another space, Lachlan Willis would be able to feel it.
Just like Isa Austin’s dark domain, it couldn’t escape Lachlan Willis’s perception through the Gaze Locking Divine Inquiry.
Right now, Lachlan Willis only wanted to fight Prince Zephyr to the death.
*Whir!*
However, just then, his body suddenly went out of control. A much stronger will within his soul briefly fought for control over his body.
Elder Drake Candlewood, who had just absorbed Lady Scarlett’s soul energy, was now trying to control Lachlan Willis.
Just like in previous instances, when Lachlan Willis reached a critical moment, Elder Drake Candlewood had seized control to unleash powerful abilities.
The Dragon Ancestor’s soul had once been incredibly powerful, or else it wouldn’t have been sealed in the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant for tens of thousands of years without being able to escape.
Now, as Lachlan Willis’s soul realm improved, Elder Drake Candlewood’s soul had greatly benefitted as well.
With the recent absorption of Lady Scarlett’s soul energy, Elder Drake Candlewood’s soul had become even stronger.
Even though Lachlan Willis’s soul had reached the Manifested Form level, he still felt his body slipping out of his control.
“Elder Drake Candlewood, what are you doing?”
Lachlan Willis roared mentally.
“What am I doing? Do you want me to just watch you go mad?
That Lady Scarlett risked her life and scattered her soul to save you. Are you going to betray her sacrifice?
Prince Zephyr’s power is unpredictable. You should be escaping, not losing your mind here!”
Elder Drake Candlewood replied coldly, with a hint of disappointment.
*Whoosh!*
As the words fell, Lachlan Willis, who was about to use the Gaze Locking Divine Inquiry, was suddenly pulled down to the ground and started to escape from the Ancestral Sacred Temple.
At this point, he was under Elder Drake Candlewood’s control.
Although Lachlan Willis was unwilling and helpless, he couldn’t resist Elder Drake Candlewood’s soul.
The Gaze Locking Divine Inquiry could no longer be used!
At this moment, desperate screams, cries for help, and curses rang out from within the hall.
Though Lachlan Willis had escaped, Claudia Carter, Lord Blackfire, Daemon Lion, and the three Reincarnated Demons were still trapped in the Transformation of Immortal-Demon Blood.
Their physical forms were being continuously eroded!
Despair and agony tortured their bodies.
“Lachlan Willis, help me!”
“Please, help me…”
“Lachlan Willis, I’m sincere now! I’ve given you everything, even my soul!”
“Are you really going to abandon me?”
“Save me… save me…”
“I don’t want to die, woo woo woo…”
At that moment, Claudia Carter’s voice echoed through Lachlan Willis’s mind via their soul connection.
Her voice was filled with intense pleading and urgency!
Lachlan Willis’s soul was stirred. Whether it was because of Lady Scarlett’s death or something else, at that moment, his heart was incredibly fragile, softer than ever before.
Although Lachlan Willis had suspected that Claudia Carter had deceived him, binding him with a soul fragment to form a Soul Covenant, he still hadn’t confirmed it.
What if!
What if Claudia Carter had actually used her true soul to form the covenant?
Was there any possibility that she had truly changed?
“Elder Drake Candlewood, if you can, save her! Take her with us!”
Lachlan Willis communicated with Elder Drake Candlewood.
“Fine! Hmph!”
Elder Drake Candlewood glanced toward Claudia Carter, still wrapped in the Transformation of Immortal-Demon Blood.
The next second, he clapped his hands lightly, and a soul fluctuation poured out, affecting the Transformation of Immortal-Demon Blood.
*Whoosh!*
A few breaths later…
Lachlan Willis, his body bloodied with exposed muscles, was seen holding a blood-soaked figure with exposed flesh as he rushed out of the Ancestral Sacred Temple.
