Edward sensed that something was off!
This powerful soul being might very well have set its sights on the secret techniques of the Nether Soul tribe!
Although the magic of the Nether Soul tribe—aside from the introductory Method of Soul Refinement that anyone could learn to boost their soul level and accumulate soul experience at a painfully slow pace—was primarily accessible due to the tribe's unique constitution, making the subsequent arcane skills exclusive to them.
There was no need for competition over it.
Yet, despite this, some stubborn and reckless powerful beings still came to challenge them.
As a result, the Nether Soul tribe suffered heavy losses in [Transcendence] due to repeated battles, causing them to nearly withdraw entirely from the game, leaving only a small number of their kin to create a new race and conduct commercial trades to exchange for resources.
