Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 277

Daniel didn't stop Omari's struggles. Instead, he simply watched with cold indifference and took out a pill.

"Don't worry, I'll be checking on your condition every year. I won't let your spiritual consciousness dissipate."

With that, he shoved the pill into Omari's mouth.

The moment Omari swallowed the pill, he felt a splitting headache.

Without any hesitation, Daniel gathered energy in his palm, forming a blade that slashed Omari's head clean off his shoulders.

Omari's final expression was one of relief.

"It seems Daniel's threat was just a bluff to scare me. At last, it's all over," he thought.

But then, a chilling realization dawned on him. If he was dead, how was he still conscious?

Soon, Omari noticed that Daniel was holding a black gourd in his hand. Just seeing the object gave him a sense of unease.

"In you go," Daniel muttered as he opened the gourd. He then pointed it at Omari's head and murmured an incantation.

The gourd was an artifact Daniel had meticulously crafted using materials he borrowed from the Immortal Syndicate. It was the strongest artifact he could craft at his current level.

This artifact had only one purpose: to nurture one's spiritual consciousness.

Such an artifact was considered a priceless treasure in the cultivation world. Its effects were good enough to provide a cultivator a second chance at life!

Powerful cultivators would be able to use their spiritual consciousness to reconstruct a new body for themselves. However, that would force them down the path of a spirit cultivator.

But Daniel wasn't using it to nurture one's soul. He was using it to eternally trap Omari's soul.

…

Daniel took Omari's severed head and placed it before his parents' memorial tablets, then set the gourd on the altar.

His red-rimmed eyes showed just how much hatred he had for Omari.

Daniel locked himself in the memorial hall for an entire day.

Daniel closed his eyes slowly. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. No matter who was involved in this, they'll all pay. They'll pay the ultimate price for this!"
