Squeezing his eyes shut, Houston gathered all his spiritual soul power. From deep inside him, growls of
beasts emerged, rumbling in his body.
A moment later, he opened his mouth and countless ferocious-looking beasts rushed out and pounced
on Prince Kerwin.
The beasts were made up of strong spiritual soul power. Their roars were so deafening that they shook
the sky.
Mordechai, Sergio, and Briar, stood aside and watched the battle unfold.
They knew that they were powerful enough that they didn't have to attack the prince all at once.
"Watch and see. You four will die, proving that I am the most suitable person to be the next chief,"
Prince Kerwin declared arrogantly.
As soon as he had finished speaking, he took action.
He released an immense amount of spiritual soul power
that spread in all directions.
Slowly, the whole Spiritual Mountain was covered in it.
As it surged upwards, it formed the faces of ancient members of the spiritual race that twisted into
angry expressions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Prince Kerwin's spiritual soul power surged forward like a raging tide, engulfing all the spiritual soul
power released by Houston.
It gathered in the sky and formed a huge fist that
shot at Houston.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air around the huge fist exploded, making Houston's skin crawl.
He gasped.
"No way!
How did you gain this much spiritual soul power, Kerwin?"
Houston shouted in a panicked voice.
"Spiritual Demon Skill!"
"Spiritual Fire Skill!"
"Spiritual Blade Skill!"
"Forbidden Spiritual Skill!"
Aware that Prince Kerwin was a formidable opponent, Houston knew that he had to try everything he
had. One at a time, he cast powers at Prince Kerwin, hoping for the best.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Houston's spiritual soul power transformed into tornadoes that tore up the earth.
The whole Spiritual Mountain shook, making it hard for the bystanders to stay on their feet.
This was an all-out attack from a powerful cultivator of the spiritual race. There was nothing else like it.
Most creatures moved away to avoid being hit by the residual power.
"Nice trick! But not good enough!"
Prince Kerwin remarked with a defiant sneer.
He stood firmly as his clothes danced behind him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the counterattack spread out, the massive fist made from spiritual soul power continued to approach
Houston.
As it reached him, it negated all his secret skills, erasing them completely.
"Damn it!"
Houston let out a roar that was a mixture of rage and terror.
The huge fist flew horizontally and hit his body.
Crack!
Houston was broken into pieces, and died on the spot.
The huge fist slowly returned to Prince Kerwin, floating next to him.
Dead silence enveloped the entire mountain.
Most creatures who had witnessed all this were so scared that their legs had turned to jelly.
"How did he do that?
Prince Kerwin, where did you acquire such a strong spiritual soul power?" Mordechai asked in an
emotional voice.
He couldn't believe what had just happened.
"Do you really want to know?
All right. I will let you know so you will not die with pity,"
Prince Kerwin said with a malicious sneer.
A second later, he summoned a huge, black heart above his head.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The heart pounded rhythmically as if it were alive.
Streams of pure spiritual soul power rose from the heart.
The moment they caught sight of the heart, all the members of spiritual race in the Spiritual Mountain
were so shocked that they stared blankly at the heart and said nothing.
Awe and fear were etched seemingly permanently into their faces.
"It's the spiritual heart!"
someone shouted.
Then, the silence was broken.
"Oh my! It's the spiritual heart, one of the three holy treasures of our race!"
"I never expected that I would see the spiritual heart in my lifetime!"
"The spiritual heart has been lost for years. I can't believe Prince Kerwin got his hands on it!"
They were so thrilled that tears streamed down their faces. Greed filled their eyes as they looked at it.
"Wow! It's one of the three holy treasures of the spiritual race, the spiritual heart?!"
Austin was also surprised by the presence of the black heart. He studied it carefully.
"Master, there are three holy items in our spiritual race: the spiritual heart, the spiritual tree, and the
spiritual tower.
Unfortunately, the three holy treasures all disappeared long ago.
I can't believe that the spiritual heart fell into Kerwin's hands,"
Prince Rondo told Austin through his spiritual sense.
"I see,"
Austin responded with a nod.
'I have the spiritual tree, and Prince Kerwin acquired the spiritual heart, ' he thought to himself.
"What are you doing? Kneel down before the spiritual heart,"
Prince Kerwin commanded.
Under his control, endless spiritual soul energy gushed out of the heart.
On top of that, symbols related to the spiritual soul emerged from the heart and spread quickly.
In an instant, the symbols had filled every inch of the Spiritual Mountain.
These symbols represented power and majesty, which meant a lot to every member of the spiritual
race.
They all were in awe of the spiritual heart and
the feeling radiated from the depths of their souls.
Since it was a holy treasure of the spiritual race, the spiritual heart had the power to make all the
spiritual race members bow to it.
"Spiritual heart! Spiritual heart! Spiritual heart ..."
At that moment, all members of the spiritual race inside and outside the Spiritual Mountain knelt down
and kowtowed in the direction of the spiritual heart.
Prince Kerwin watched all the members bowing to him and he smiled triumphantly. "I was chosen as a
prince by the former chief of our race. Now I have the spiritual heart. I should be the next chief," he
declared as he glanced at his people.
"If you are willing to be my slaves and swear unwavering loyalty to me, I will spare your lives.
Otherwise, all of you will die!"
Prince Kerwin threatened as he glared at the three masters and the other two princes.
Mordechai, Sergio, Briar, and Prince Daum were at a loss, staring at each other in silence.
They had expected a fierce battle.
None of them had expected that Prince Kerwin had obtained the spiritual heart.
The spiritual heart was one of the sacred items of the spiritual race so he could use to restrain the
members when he wanted.
Moreover, Kerwin was a prince. He was made to lead.
He scared his enemies, especially after he destroyed Houston in a single blow.
At this point, Mordechai, Sergio, and Briar were at a disadvantage and their chance at becoming the
next chief was greatly reduced.
The three of them glanced at one another, and each held a somber expression on their face.
Although they didn't want to give up, they didn't want to make a move against Prince Kerwin either.
Who knew what else he was capable of?
"And as for the rest of you, do you have a problem with me becoming the next chief?
If you do, come out!"
Prince Kerwin surveyed the crowd of the spiritual race.
They were all powerful masters of the spiritual race and popular in the Spiritual Cosmos, but when they
made eye contact with Prince Kerwin, they lowered their heads immediately.
"I support Prince Kerwin to be our next chief.
All hail to Prince Kerwin!"
"Everyone, let's greet our new chief together!"
a group of spiritual race members shouted.
They were all Prince Kerwin's men.
At this point, most members of the spiritual race were in awe of the spiritual heart so they followed suit.
"Greetings, sir!"
The members of the spiritual race around the Spiritual Mountain kowtowed to Prince Kerwin.
"What about you?
Do you have a problem with it?"
Prince Kerwin shouted sternly as he looked at Mordechai, Sergio, Briar, Prince Daum, and Prince
Rondo.
