Chapter 367 - Master's Death Part 2
His Soul Cultivation hadn't reached the Master Cultivation Level, but his Soul Power was dense, pure and incredibly powerful, even when compared to Master Level Souls.
Along with that, even if he held back his aura, cultivation level and his capabilities, souls and people with sharp senses couldn't help but fear him slightly.
The reason for that was his Death Devouring Daggers that had become his Soul Weapon and Integratable Weapon and struck fear in anyone that was in their presence.
Adam had only used his Soul Vision and switched into his Soul Form a single time and had no need to do so and also was wary of doing so.
He could hide his Physical and Soul Cultivation really well while in his Physical Form, to the point that even his master was unable to truly gauge his cultivation level or power.
However, he still couldn't completely hide his Soul and Physical Cultivation, and although he was suited to stealth, as one became more powerful, it became harder to mask one's power.
That was made evident to Adam when he used the Form Switching Characteristic for the first time.
Everything happened very quickly and suddenly.
Adam couldn't hold back his power and caused a large commotion.
In that form, since a soul had no physical mass and it was only tangible to others in some sort of soul form, one could float around and move through physical entities, such as walls.
Adam was accustomed to the feeling of being in a Soul Form and fighting using Soul Power after hunting in the Soul Dungeon for many months.
However, he would let loose and unleash his full power in the Soul Dungeon, unlike in reality or the Physical Dungeon where he had to be reserved and stealthy on most occasions.
As soon as Adam entered his Soul Form in reality he quickly reverted back into his Physical Form and it had alerted his master, who had sharp senses, along with all other Souls and Soul Cultivators within the city.
They didn't have enough time to pinpoint the location of the Master Level Soul and most were afraid of it, while some were intrigued and curious as to what it was, however, the existence of someone with such Soul Power was shocking news for New York and the rest of the county.
A single instant caused a great shock for cultivators around the country and after that instant, Adam took time to practise concealment.
He did so for both his Physical and Soul Cultivation in both forms and gained an extension for his Form Switching Characteristic.
It was part of a mission that he received after working hard towards becoming adept in concealment.
Adam completed all missions that were issued by the system, as most of them were based on his desires, targets and ambitions, so he quickly acquired the extension.
The extension was Form Concealment and was linked to his Stealth Ring along with his Form Switching Characteristic, forming a very useful ability.
Just as the name suggests, it allowed Adam to conceal himself in any form.
His heat signature, breath, cultivation level and anything else that might alert an individual of his presence could be concealed and Adam practised and trained in the extension that required him to master it.
After mastering it, Adam would only conceal his Cultivation Level most of the time and unless he came across an incredibly skilled and perceptive cultivator that was at a much higher cultivation level than him, nobody would be able to tell his Physical and Soul Cultivation Level.
His master had just died and Adam was grateful for everything he had done for him and happy that his master had found peace, despite the sad event.
However, he couldn't help but be curious about what the Death Wraith, that was taking his master's soul to the underworld, would look like.
His master had nothing holding him back and was ready for death, so after dying wouldn't be a conscious soul and would be easily and quickly carried back by the Death Wraith.
That along with the sudden presence that Adam sensed confirmed that a Death Wraith had come to take his master's soul.
Adam was wary of alerting the Death Wraith of his ability to see Death Wraiths, revealing that he was a Soul Cultivator, and could also get him into trouble.
However, it might be an ordinary occurrence and from stories and the ideas that he had in his mind, death wraiths were frightening beings that wore black robes and carried a long scythe.
He knew that the image he had in his mind was most likely to be incorrect, but he was hoping that there was truth behind how they acted.
Thinking about it, shamans, exorcists and any other soul cultivators should be able to see death wraiths and they shouldn't be allowed to kill the living in most circumstances, as that is against their laws.
Adam was also confident in his Soul Power and could defend himself in the worst-case scenario.
However, he wasn't looking to become known by Immortal Cultivators or the Leaders of the Underworld until he was powerful enough to face them as an equal or even a superior.
There were many things running through his mind at once and Adam wanted to be careful, but in a split second, he deiced to go through with it.
His confidence and curiosity couldn't be suppressed as he activated his Soul Vision and acted as though nothing had changed.
However, what he saw next was completely shocking and went against everything he was expecting to see.
He could see his master, whose soul form was identical to his physical form and was unconscious in the hands of what could only be a Death Wraith.
But, that Death Wraith appeared mind-blowingly different than he was expected.
Adam believed that his speed was quick enough so that the Death Wraith didn't notice and only looked at it for a split second, however, what he heard next, caused him to immediately regret his decision.
"You saw me just now, didn't you.. I can tell, you are a Soul Cultivator" exclaimed the Death Wraith.
