Zhou Sect - 138

After being stabbed through the chest by two different swords, the grim reaper's body started to slowly collapse and turn into particles of light. Anna and the dragon king watched it happen silently. Just as about half of the body had been turned into particles of light, a black ball of light shot outwards from the body at a speed that anna and the dragon king were unable to react to.

As it zoomed past their faces and shot into outer space, Anna caught a slight glimpse of it. From that glimpse, she was able to tell what it was.

"That's his soul! His soul is escaping!" She yelled before she broke space and followed it as fast as she could.

The dragon king, who had just comprehended her words, followed behind quickly. Unfortunately, Anna and the soul were so fast that they had disappeared from his view by the time he had reached outer space.

Anna was still following the soul, but it was slightly faster than her, causing it to pull away after a period of time. Eventually, it flew into the sun and Anna could no longer sense it, even after using her divine sense.

"DAM*IT!" She screamed. She had no idea how he had disconnected his soul from his body and managed to flee. She did, however, have a feeling that he would survive and be back.

Anna's feeling was correct. After he had escaped pursuit, Zhou Fan grabbed the grim reaper's soul and looked at it. Although he had come up with the move, this was the first time it had been used. It was also the first time Zhou Fan had seen a soul.

Although it was different from a normal soul since the grim reaper was a being made by Zhou Fan and was closer to being a puppet than being considered a living being, it still was likely to be similar to a normal being's soul if they hadn't gone through the nascent soul stage.

In other words, Zhou Fan was looking at what a soul looked like from someone who was below the nascent soul realm. He estimated that someone who had reached the nascent soul realm had a different looking soul, as well as someone in the soul formation realm.

He didn't plan on testing the technique out himself since it was actually very dangerous and could cause someone to lose an amount of their cultivation, but he assumed that Anna and the dragon king would try to replicate the move.

They would also try to replicate teleportation since it was such a large part of the grim reapers strength in the battle. Along with them replicating moves, they would also have to try and create something.

The best idea would be to create a formation that blocked souls from leaving an area, since they can go through most solid matter, or create a technique that would do the same thing without a formation.

They had plenty of time to do that, however. After all, Zhou Fan had no plan to release the grim reaper until he broke through to the next realm. He didn't know how long it would take, but Jack may have reached the space shattering realm at that time.

Before he did anything else, Zhou Fan created another body for the grim reaper. It was identical to the last one. That was the worst part about the soul escaping technique. The price was destroying your body, and without someone's help, recreating your body with only your soul was nearly impossible.

Without your body, you would lose the harmony between body, mind, and soul, and experience a decrease in power.

Perhaps someone that had chosen the second path when they broke through to nascent soul would have it easier, but since Zhou Fan hadn't chosen it, no one else has had the ability to. After all, they were only following Zhou Fans path. It would take another person like Zhou Fan in order for someone to choose the second path of the soul.

Until then, every cultivator would have their soul, body, and mind together.

Since everything with the grim reaper was finished, Zhou Fan started watching Jack. Right now, he was at a side branch of a place called the Zhou Sect. It was a sect that had a presence in every corner of the Zhou Solar system.

It was under the ownership of each of the rulers and was basically a ruling power of the entire solar system. Its main location was in the Zhou World, but there were thousands on every planet.

Inside the Zhou sect's branch, Jack had accepted a mission. The compensation would be the main currency in the entire solar system. Spirit stones. The mission that Jack accepted was one of the most difficult, ranked at S-rank.

The ranks started from the lowest FFF, to the highest, EX. In order, the ranks were FFF, FF, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and EX. FFF-rank missions could be completed by even the weakest cultivator, while Ex-rank missions were missions only the rulers would do. Of course, no EX-rank mission had ever been posted, but it was still a theoretical rank.

Cultivators were ranked based on their strength and their rank decided what missions they could take. S-rank is for cultivators at the 1st - 3rd level of void traversing, SS-rank is for cultivators at the 4th-6th level of void traversing, SSS-rank is for cultivators at the 7th-9th level of void traversing, and EX-rank is for anyone above that.

Jack is at the SS-rank, while the monkey king and the titanosaur were actually at the SSS-rank instead of the EX-rank like Anna and the dragon king.

Even so, there were only three people at the SSS-rank and 100 at the SS-rank. Therefore, Jack was one of the most powerful people in the solar system. Also, you didn't have to join the Zhou Sect to take a mission. You just had to sign up.

After grabbing his mission, Jack left towards the most dangerous place on the water planet.
