The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1728: Third Asura Key

Somewhere else in the Beast Universe, specifically in the Qilin Galaxy, Queenie, Tifa, Lucy, Asha and Vida stood with relaxed postures, facing three Celestials, each bleeding from many wounds.

Around them, thousands of warriors ranging from God upward lay dead, some severed in half. Even two Celestials lay dead, their expressions grim...

To the side, Kalynda and Aster, the first and second Asura Keys, held a third lady bound in slave chains, her body practically emaciated and violated.

She is a Qilin, but while most Qilins are beautiful by nature, she isn’t ugly; rather, life had been so unfair to her that she had lost her sense of beauty.

Even as she was held in a protective embrace, she felt as if she had given up, and death at this point would be mercy.

Maybe because of this, Queenie, who was heartbroken from the memories she had recently recovered about the Asura God and the seven Chaste Maidens, channeled her anger and slaughtered all these people.

If someone said 80% of the dead bodies were killed by her sword, nobody would believe it. But looking at their severed bodies, it was plain as day that the Asura Queen had gone bonkers, leaving the battlefield grim, bathed in blood and carnage.

"Do you five know who you have offended?" one of the Celestials said, his expression twisted in anger and fear. He was angry because this was supposed to be a routine escort to transport the Qilin lady to someone in the Demon Universe.

They had done this mission several times before.

However, today, things ended badly for them when, out of nowhere, these five ladies appeared and attacked them.

Initially, they had no idea why they were being attacked. However, now that the Qilin lady, bound in chains, was held by Kalynda and Aster, it was clear they had come for her.

Which begged the question: who was she to them, and why did they seem to have come with a vendetta?

Queenie narrowed her eyes at the three Celestials and said:

"I would very much like to meet the bastard who thinks trading slaves is something to be commended. Do you not even have a sense of shame, kidnapping and torturing a mere Immortal?"

Considering they were Celestials, there was no need to even bind the Qilin lady in those heavy chains. But they did simply because they wished to announce to everyone that she was a slave...

Maybe it was their ego that had compelled them to do that.

Regardless, Queenie was pissed, and her sisters could feel it. This, of course, meant they were also angry, and so the three Celestials were as good as dead.

"Be grateful we hadn’t come here for you... If we had, your deaths would have been so painful, your souls would hesitate to enter the cycle of reincarnation." Queenie pointed her weapon at the three Celestials.

But before she could make a move, the void exploded open, and Nia stepped out. "On second thought, why don’t you three die without a chance of reincarnation?"

"Spiritual Domain."

She activated her domain, and at once, the scene around them changed. The three Celestials, who were ready to explode their bodies and run with their souls, felt their souls get struck by something powerful.

For a moment, they blanked out.

The next second, they found themselves staring back at Nia, who had millions of spirit weapons hovering behind her. The most chilling part, however, was that their souls had been detached from their physical bodies, allowing them to face such a terrifying sight with only their souls.

They panicked, but Nia wasn’t one to waste time, especially when she was facing three Celestials at the same time.

"Wait... Please..."

She didn’t wait since she had already gestured forward, and countless weapons surged forward. The three Celestials had no choice but to fight back.

So they did, but it soon became clear to them that death would come for them.

Nia stood back, a dark expression in her eyes.

Back on Earth, Klaus had always said that aside from him, the one with the deepest and most robust soul is Nia. Her soul strength is on another level.

Her domain basically takes the soul of the person or beast used against and sets them on a spiritual path where all attacks can only be harnessed using soul qi.

Basically, without spiritual essence, even a primordial would look like a bug before her. And Nia had been training so hard that even she never knew how strong her soul had become.

Today, she had the front row seat to witness her own soul attacks at work, and she loves it.

Five minutes later, not even a spark of soul was left. All three had died, and Nia deactivated her domain, which had become stronger than it had been 5 minutes ago simply because it had absorbed the souls of the three celestials.

"Well damn Nia, remind me to not offend you ever again," Lucy said, staring at Nia, who seemed happy she had finally used her Spiritual Domain in combat.

Nia just smiled and turned to the Qilin lady, who was looking back at the six of them. Somehow, she feels like she can trust Kalynda and Aster. However, Queenie and her sisters are a mystery to her.

But who could blame her? Kalynda and Aster are both Asura Keys, so being the third Asura Key clearly established a connection between them.

Queenie and her sisters, on the other hand, are strangers whom she had just watched kill over a hundred warriors, celestials included.

Naturally, that scared her senseless.

"Hi, my name is Queenie, and these are my sisters, Nia, Lucy, Tifa, Asha and Vida," Queenie said, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"May we know who you are,"

The qilin lady hesitated for a moment, but when she turned and saw that Aster and Kalynda weren’t scared of Queenie and her sisters, she sighed and answered...

"Hermina,"

"Well, Hermina, I know this will be an unusual ask, but we need your help with something that might as well determine the fate of the universe as we all know it,"

Hermina’s brow furrowed.
