Chapter 515: Counting The Harvest
A while later, just as aximus escaped, Soul Lord Akuji, the master of the Ocean of Soul and the one in charge of the Silent Void Expanse, arrived at the former Shadow Oasis.
Experience stories on m _v _lempy _r.
"Is this the place?" Akuji asked nonchalantly.
"Yes, this is the stronghold of that Magnus…" Kares muttered coldly.
Without any physical body, he was only in his virtual origin form and couldn't exert any power.
Remembering the last scene of the attack, he couldn't help but shudder.
If not for the River of Soul Light hiding his Origin, he might have died directly from the attack.
Seeing Kares cowardly appearance, Akuji couldn't help but feel angry.
A perfectly fine Interdimensional Ship was destroyed in such a disgraceful manner, yet this bastard could only escape.
Frowning gloomily, Akuji mobilized his Ocean of Law, searching for the traces left at the scene.
"How is it, Master? Have you found any clues?"
"No, the soul pool exploded in the area, erasing all the traces."
"Is that so…"
"What about the soul signature? Do you remember any?" Akuji asked, frowning at Kares.
"This—It's just a vague impression; the soul signature was cloudy and disguised…" Kares reasoned.
In reality, all his attention was on Maximus's wives.
Seeing such a pristine soul, how could he still look in any other direction?
"What about his companions?"
Akuji knew Kares failed because of some woman.
Thinking he could only think with his lower body, Akuji felt killing him.
As for the uniqueness of those woman, there was nothing of the sort in the report.
Kares would naturally not reveal the discovery he had made.
Kares planned that after he was healed in the future, Maximus's wives would be his trophies.
"This is their soul signature," Kares graciously projected, wanting to capture Maximus as soon as possible.
Taking the soul signature, Akuji used his Ocean of Soul to deduce their coordinates.
However, after a while, his confidence was replaced with a frown.
"Still nothing? How can this be possible?"
Unless they possessed an ultimate physique or special treasure, no one could escape his soul tracking.
Wanting to know the origin of these people, he used his Ocean of Soul to trace their soul origin.

Cough~
Suddenly getting backlash, Akuji's face turned gloomy.
"Who are these people? They even have protection from such a being?!"
When he tried to deduce their soul origin, he was met with an unstoppable force.
If not for his quickness, he might have been crippled.
If Maximus knew this, he would give Akuji a thumbs-up for his bravery.
The Etherium Realm, their place of origin, was protected by Iris.
Challenging the supreme leader of the Immortal Palace Sect, Akuji was literally seeking death.
Although Akuji was from an overlord organization and Iris was only from a top sect,
A subordinate was still a subordinate; compared to a leader, it was just a cannon fodder.
Iris was already at the peak of tier 11 realm, ready to turn her Ocean of Law into a world and step into the Overlord Realm at any time.
Akuji was merely a greenhorn, mass produced by the Interdimensional Council to become a watchdog for their territory.
Challenging a master beyond his league, Akuji was lucky he was still alive.
Out of choice, Akuji could only change the plan.
"Turn these soul signatures into the headquarters in the Silent Void Expanse and declare them as Devourers!"
With the usual practice of the Interdimensional Council, turning all their enemies into Devourers, Kares was not shocked.
From now on, as long as other saw Maximus and his companion, they would be treated as devourers, either escaping or hunting them for contribution points.
"How about putting a bounty?"
"A bounty? It's feasible… However, you have to pay!"
"Y-yes…"
…
Fifty years later…
Feeling his aching body, Maximus slowly opened his eyes.
Remembering what happened before he lost consciousness, Maximus quickly scanned where he was.
Seeing he was in the Shadow alongside his wives, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Safe…"
"Husband, you're awake?"
"Do you feel any pain? Is there any way we can help you?"
"I'm fine; I just need to rest…" Maximus comforted.
Resting for decades, his Origin already started to organize and heal itself.
Besides being unable to use his full power, he didn't have many issues.
"Anyway, what happened while I was unconscious?"
"We're wanted by the Dimensional Council…" Hazel muttered, showing him their virtual soul signatures.
In it, told the stories of how they, a devourer, attacked an interdimensional ship like pirates.
"Hmph! What a bunch of hypocrites!" Maximus muttered angrily, seeing the wanted poster.
Fortunately, although he couldn't disguise the uniqueness of their soul, their soul signatures could still be disguised.
Looking at the soul signature different from their actual soul origin, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Maximus just needed to change their soul signatures, and they could hide in another place.
Suddenly remembering the remains of the Interdimensional Ship he put in his storage dimension, an interest appeared in his eyes.
"Let's go inside the World Tree…"
Once inside, Maximus took out a giant void ship occupying hundreds of trillions of kilometers of space.
"Huh? Is this the Interdimensional Ship!?" his wives muttered in shock.
They didn't expect Maximus would ransack this thing.
At that time, everything happened too quickly.
They only noticed their husband attacking; then they were inside the Shadow.
"I took it on a whim…" Maximus smiled, examining the ship.
Due to his attack, most of the precise and sensitive components of the ship were already scraped.
Besides being used as a material, there was nothing useful in the ship.
Fortunately, the ship's hull was mostly made of Tier 12 materials.
Just that was already worth tens of trillions of Origin Coins.
Scanning inside, they also saw various storage of intact materials.
"This is too much!"
Finding trillions of Origin Coins worth of materials, weapons, treasure, potions, and general supply, they couldn't help but smile.
Having fun, each of them scoured the ship, dismantling and storing all the valuable things.
After a few days, they roughly counted that, coupled with the materials of the ship, their harvest was worth about 40 trillion Origin Coins.
"Tsk, what a rich organization! I should've been more careful and not destroyed the ship."
With Maximus's attack, not even a tenth of the ship remained, and not much of the stored supply was left.
Maximus estimated that if he had been more careful, they could have earned hundreds of trillions from that battle.
"Brother Maximus, look at this~," Lilith said, handing him an arm.
"Hmm? Is this Kares's arm? Is it still intact?"
"I didn't expect you'd collect these things, Lilith!"
"What a weirdo, are you in a new fashion?"
The other teased in surprise.
"I stored it after Kares threw it out. Using my eyes, I noticed a hidden compartment. Unfortunately, until now, I still couldn't break it," Lilith pouted.
"Let me see…"
Looking at the thick barrier of the River of Law, Maximus knew why Lilith failed to dismantle it.
Lilith was only at Tier 10 realm, and although she could see through such a power, she lacked the strength to break it.
Washing the seal with the power of causality, Maximus finally saw what was inside the hidden space in the arm.
"This—"
Mountains and mountains of Origin Coins, various materials, tier 12 treasure, and a complete Tier 12 void ship.
Just a rough look, and they knew it was more valuable than the interdimensional ship they looted.
"It seems this was Kares's main storage space."
Taking out the resources inside, his wives wore shocked expressions.
Even Lilith, who had been teased for being weird, held her chest up high, feeling proud.
"Hmph! You see! How could a Master of the River of Law be simple? Even an arm is a treasure!"
As they chattered among themselves, counting the mountain of Origin Coins, materials and treasure.
Maximus took out the Tier 12 void ship.
"A speed-type void ship? How timely!" Maximus thought happily.
On their way to escape, the speed of Shadow was beginning to drag them.
If they wanted to get to a farther place, they would waste a lot of time.
Without hesitation, he began disassembling the speed thruster of the ship, hoping to integrate it into Shadow.
Shadow was still a capable ship; in the fifty years they were on the run, they didn't encounter any obstacles.
Despite being slow, it could go unimpeded in any place.
Parking Shadow in the void, Maximus quickly integrated the speed thruster into the ship.
"Voyager, try the speed. How fast is the new thruster?"
Testing it out, Shadow zipped through the void like light, breaking through the scattered soul pollution.
"At normal speed, it's only 50 times faster, but overloading the ship, it can go up to 300 times faster!" Voyager reported excitedly.
Shadow was her new shell; naturally, the stronger it was, the happier she became.
"Good!" Maximus was also happy, seeing Shadow gain a new lease on life.
"With this, I can widen my range of search."
Maximus needed to find a soul pool quickly; otherwise, they would only waste time in the Silent Void Expanse.
Using causality points, Maximus began to deduce the nearest soul pool far from the detection range of the Interdimensional Council.
A while later, a new coordinate was sent to Voyager.
