Upon hearing the female’s Soul Voice Transmission, Lin Fei felt that while he had known big trouble was coming, he had not expected it to arrive so quickly. This Machine Race woman, likely a princess, had dared to come seeking revenge despite knowing he had just slain two powerful entities, which implied her own strength was certainly superior to the previous two.
She claimed Lin Fei had killed her imperial brother, whom he assumed to be the blue-haired fellow. For a cultivator, death takes two forms: the death of the body and the destruction of the soul. While the death of the body is not absolute, losing one's physical form is essentially dying once. If the primordial soul is preserved, one is not truly dead, but without the physical vessel, one’s strength is drastically reduced. Beyond the loss of a body forged over long ages, all Dharmic Treasures and resources are also stripped away. To a powerful cultivator, this loss is practically equivalent to being killed. Take Xiao Qi, for example; if her physical body had not been destroyed, she would surely be far more powerful than she is now. After all, she hailed from the Supreme Demon Realm and was one of the closest spirit pets to the peerless genius Lin Guang. Or consider Sa Chen; if she hadn't lost her body, why would she have been reduced to living in the surface world of the Guangzhi Universe?
*Whoosh!*
