Whether actively using this ability or passively absorbing soul power slowly, this was the innate power of this demon-human Cosmic Elder.
And this was precisely the most crucial reason why he, despite falling in the Ancient Divine War, secretly preserved his life and successfully resurrected.
Boom!!! What seemed like a light punch actually unleashed a huge energy fluctuation! The demon-human's punch was taken by Michael, and very easily at that; he didn't even change his expression, nor did his feet budge an inch, as if this punch wasn't delivered by a Skyfather Level powerhouse.
But in fact, the impact fluctuation unleashed by this seemingly ordinary clash of fists directly obliterated the Sovereign Grand Temple where they stood, and the Kolin Star capital where the Grand Temple was located! Including all the people within the Kolin Star capital, they were instantly annihilated the moment the demon-human and Michael exchanged punches! Furthermore, this massive energy fluctuation even caused the entire Kolin Star to tremble violently.
The scene was comparable to an eighteen-magnitude planetary earthquake! "Uh…"
The demon-human suddenly frowned.
It wasn't that Michael's punch caused any damage to his current body; in fact, Michael easily taking the punch was equally insignificant to the demon-human, as this was merely… a probing punch.
The demon-human's frown was because the Planet-wide tremor caused his heart to tighten, as if it was being squeezed, making him very uncomfortable! The demon-human knew this was because his ancient, fractured heart, which had survived since ancient times, was being shaken.
From ancient times to now, several epochs had almost passed.
It could be said that this damaged—no, it should be said, largely recovered—heart, whenever something uncomfortable occurred, would reflect onto the body of 'Artificial Human Adam'; after all, though the soul had transferred, the connection between them had long become unbreakable! Of course, the demon-human's focus wasn't really on this.
The demon-human was puzzled and wary: why did Michael, who had taken his probing punch, show no signs of his soul being affected? Could it be that this guy, who suddenly appeared and disrupted his 'resurrection plan,' possessed some ultimate soul protection technique? "How is this possible!!"
Although logically, the demon-human was unwilling to believe that any random person from the Universe several epochs later could defend against his famous soul Devouring Power from ancient times, the demon-human, who had gone to great lengths to survive the Ancient Divine War, became extremely vigilant, preparing to go all out, while also starting to consider whether to strategically retreat… "soul damage included in a normal attack."
"Hiss."
"As expected of an Ancient Universe Elder, isn't it?"
"If one doesn't have some soul defense methods, even the highest strength wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack!"
"This is like training your Golden Bell Shield to its highest level, but then this guy doesn't hit your body; he directly attacks your soul. Who can endure that?"
"Fortunately."
Looking at the demon-human's solemn expression, Michael also had a serious look, but with a hint more excitement than the demon-human. "The thing I fear least is… all kinds of mental and soul attacks!"
Although Michael, due to cultivating Chthon's soul magic, easily sensed the soul Devouring Power embedded in the demon-human's attack.
But unfortunately, Michael hadn't even deployed his defensive measures yet, and this so-called soul Devouring Power was directly absorbed clean by the mutated gem! Aside from… directly taking the demon-human's physical punch, Michael didn't receive any other attacks whatsoever!
"…Courtesy demands reciprocity!"
"You take a move from me too!"
soul attacks are not… something only you, the ancient surviving Cosmic Elder, can do. Embedding soul damage magic into his punch, Michael also threw an ordinary punch towards the demon-human!
