“Xie Ling, you old undying man! I’ll kill you first!”
Enduring the intense pain, Grayflame struggled to his feet and slashed at Xie Lingzi with a sword.
Even though Xu Yan was unable to unleash his full power right now, this attack was by no means insignificant.
It was just that wanting to deal with Xie Lingzi under this kind of circumstances, clearly, it was still a little lacking.
Xie Lingzi had clearly set some sort of contract with the Grayflame Heretic Fire. Xie Lingzi could keep him in check through this sort of method.
Even if Xie Lingzi’s current soul force was lacking and he did not have a physical body to house the divine soul too, it was also not easy for Xie Lingzi to want to kill him.
If Xie Lingzi could be dealt with so easily, Grayflame also would not need to contrive all kinds of schemes to lure so many martial artists to come to this ancient grotto.
Now, it was only to see Xie Lingzi fluttered lightly, avoiding this attack very effortlessly.
“Boy, double up. Help me clean up my household. Later, I’ll give you benefits!” Xie Lingzi suddenly opened his mouth and said to Ye Yuan.
Just earlier, when Xie Lingzi and Grayflame were conversing, a hint of sluggishness appeared in Grayflame’s control over the grand array.
One had to know that Ye Yuan’s control over essence fire was peak Alchemy Emperor class. Even if this Xie Lingzi revived, he would not catch up to Ye Yuan even by whipping his horse in the path of essence fire.
Making use of this gap, Ye Yuan counter-suppressed the Grayflame Heretic Fire’s main body soundlessly, and directly let out Fiery, letting him devour the Grayflame Heretic Fire’s fire origin power!
The Grayflame Heretic Fire’s fire origin power was a major tonic to Fiery. The moment Fiery appeared, he gobbled up the Grayflame Heretic Fire without any modesty.
Except, just this short while, Fiery’s strength already soared dramatically, and actually broke through to peak Tier 5 directly!
But this was still just a start. This Grayflame Heretic Fire was a peak Tier 9 essence fire formerly. Even if its strength was greatly diminished now, it also had sufficient fire origin power to offer Fiery to devour.
When Ye Yuan heard Xie Lingzi’s words, his face could not help revealing a look of ecstasy as he said, “Senior’s great kindness, this Ye will never forget it!”
Fiery greedily devoured the Grayflame Heretic Fire and actually directly broke through Tier 5, reaching Tier 6!
Bang, bang, bang.
Along with Fiery’s devouring, the might of the Starmist Radiantfire Array was also weakening rapidly. Jun Tianyu they all fell from the stone column one by one.
Except, each and every one of them were still unconscious. This Grayflame Heretic Fire’s devouring caused considerable harm to him.
“Argh! Master, I was wrong, Master! I … I shouldn’t have betrayed you! I beg you, let me off, I’m willing to swear fealty to you forever!”
Xie Lingzi rolled on the ground in pain, finally yelling out non-stop. He finally submitted under Xie Lingzi’s incantations.
This sort of contractual power had immense restraining power towards the Grayflame Heretic Fire.
As long as Xie Lingzi still had a wisp of remnant soul remaining, the Grayflame Heretic Fire could not escape his control too.
The Grayflame Heretic Fire himself was peak Tier 9 strength too. Furthermore, he gave birth to a primordial spirit. How could he be willing to be under others?
What made him even more resentful was that Xie Lingzi did not even let him off before dying, suppressing him in this grotto.
Of course, this was Xie Lingzi making preparations for his revival anew. Who knew that through the erosion of time, the seal he laid down was actually broken through by the Grayflame Heretic Fire. Only then, was there so many incidents today.
“Huhu, only knowing to repent and mend your ways now huh. It’s already too late!” Xie Lingzi said coldly.
Chapter 759 - Possession
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While he was talking, Xie Lingzi’s gaze was looking over toward Ye Yuan.
That gaze was as if admiring a work of art.
Fiery was still devouring the Grayflame Heretic Fire continuously. Gradually, Fiery’s appearance actually underwent a transformation!
The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus already separated from Ye Yuan’s body and landed quietly on the ground, becoming bigger and bigger.
Very soon, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus grew to a person’s height!
It’s branches gradually became coarse, the lotus leaves miraculously transformed into arms and legs, while the lotus body transformed to become the head.
The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually transformed completely to take human form!
“Hahaha! Indeed didn’t disappoint this emperor. After this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus devoured Grayflame, it directly expedited giving birth to a primordial spirit, and transformed into human form!” Xie Lingzi burst into laughter as if that person who evolved was himself.
And right at this time, Ye Yuan’s aura was also rising rapidly!
He and Fiery were linked telepathically. Absorbing so much fire origin power all of a sudden, there was even large quantities of essence energy mixed inside, but it was all absorbed by Ye Yuan.
Under this surge, Ye Yuan’s cultivation could no longer be controlled and was going to break through!
“Hahaha! This boy is pretty good!”
Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan, revealing a very appreciative expression.
That expression was like looking at the meat in his bowl, incomparably greedy.
But Ye Yuan did not have time to go and bother about Xie Lingzi at all. He was assaulting the realm in full force!
Fifth Level Divine Traversing!
Sixth Level Divine Traversing!
Ye Yuan directly broke through two minor boundaries under the impact of the surge of essence energy, arriving at the threshold of Seventh Level Divine Traversing, reaching peak Sixth Level Divine Traversing.
“Not bad, really not bad! This boy’s concept comprehension is much higher than his true cultivation realm. Breaking through two minor boundaries in a row and there is actually not the slightest sign of his cultivation realm being unstable!”
Xie Lingzi had been observing Ye Yuan’s breakthrough by the side the entire time and even made complimenting remarks about him from time to time.
Finally, Ye Yuan successfully broke through, his entire person’s aura rising a great deal.
While at this time, Fiery had also completed evolution already. The present Fiery was also not far away from Tier 7.
A handsome youth appeared in front of Ye Yuan. He was precisely Fiery who achieved a primordial spirit!
“Fiery pays respect to Master!” Fiery said with a childish face.
Ye Yuan laughed and said, “Haha, I didn’t expect that there is actually still an unexpected harvest coming to this ancient grotto this time! Fiery, don’t need to be so courteous with me. Just be like White Light and call me Big Brother will do!”
Although Fiery just evolved and became a primordial spirit, the time he followed Ye Yuan was roughly the same as White Light.
Along the way, Fiery had helped him out greatly.
Regardless whether was it pill refinement or battle, Fiery was Ye Yuan’s indispensable partner.
Moreover, Ye Yuan being able to leap realms to battle many times was relying all on the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, this cultivation method. Fiery was even more essential.
Therefore, even though the face of this handsome youth before his hands was very unfamiliar, Ye Yuan felt very close.
“This … Big Brother!”
Fiery hesitated for a bit, but he still called out.
Fiery was already in a state of extreme reluctance to part with towards Ye Yuan now. Furthermore, he knew that everything of his today was all bestowed by Ye Yuan.
If withou
t Ye Yuan, he might just be a Tier 4 essence fire forever.
“Haha, good brother!” Seeing Fiery give birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan was very happy too.
“Heh heh, truly affectionate brothers! Didn’t think that I, Xie Lingzi, slumbered for so long, there were actually people who delivered you brothers in front of me. Young man, tell me … aren’t we very fated?” Xie Lingzi suddenly said with a sinister grin.
The Grayflame Heretic Fire’s main body was devoured to the limit by Fiery. His primordial spirit right now was like being drained empty. Xu Yan’s entire person was withered on the ground, already on his last gasp.
However, when he heard Xie Lingzi’s words, he suddenly shuddered.
“M-Master, y-you don’t want Grayflame anymore? Y-You want to take over this boy?”
Xie Lingzi smiled faintly when he heard that and said, “Huhu, Grayflame alone understands me! You take a look at them, one is full of vigor and vitality, one is a new-born primordial spirit. Aren’t they specially sent before me by heaven? Grayflame, once this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus advances to Tier 9, its strength will be much stronger than yours! Therefore, using you to help him, is it not the best option?”
Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan with a broad smile, as if he was already a dish in his bowl.
Ye Yuan’s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said, “Is Senior joking? Earlier, you were clearly still helping me. Why would you carry out possession on me?”
Xie Lingzi laughed loudly and said, “Joking? This Emperor is not in the leisurely mood to make jokes with you! This Emperor commanded the Divine Realm back then with an awe-inspiring reputation extending in every direction! Being able to be possessed by this Emperor, that is your honor! Young man, you better open up your divine soul and submit obediently. Or else … the taste of the divine soul being eradicated isn’t that enjoyable!”
Ye Yuan said fearfully, “Ah! Don’t! Don’t! Junior’s body isn’t that good to use. There are so many physical bodies here. Senior just randomly pick one will do.”
Xie Lingzi said with a laugh, “Brat, don’t play any games with me! I know that your capabilities are not small, but your capabilities have nowhere to be displayed at all in front of this emperor! Also, your fleshy body contains extremely powerful true dragon might. Do you think that I can’t perceive it? This fleshy body of yours, apart from the cultivation realm being a little low, it’s simply rated as perfect! Other than you, this old man turns his nose up at everyone!”
This Xie Lingzi’s knowledge was extraordinary and had long seen through the remarkable aspects of Ye Yuan’s physical body.
Powerful physical body, consummate concepts, and even took in an essence fire which gave birth to a primordial spirit. This was seriously too perfect.
Therefore, when Grayflame attempted to attack Ye Yuan earlier, not only did he block Grayflame, he even added fuel to the fire, letting Fiery devour the Grayflame Heretic Fire’s main body.
The more powerful this fleshy body was, the more satisfied Xie Lingzi was.
In his view, this physical body was simply custom-made for him.
Originally, according to Xie Lingzi’s plan, this grotto should be able to absorb sufficient divine souls and nourish his own divine soul through the array formation and let him recover to his peak state. After that, he would awaken and hunt for a quality physical body to seize over.
But plans could not catch up to changes. The Grayflame Heretic Fire actually broke through the seal and attempted to annihilate his divine soul.
Who knew that Grayflame Heretic Fire actually even lured so many martial artists here, and in an accident arising from many causes, made him regain consciousness in advance.
Although Xie Lingzi’s current condition was not very good either, pondering about taking possession of a puny little Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan, it was still more than adequate.
Of course, if he knew what kind of a divine soul was housed inside this fleshy body, he definitely would not think this way!
Ye Yuan’s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said to Fiery, “Fiery, run!”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan’s figure moved and was going to escape from this rock cave!
But Xie Lingzi chortled with laughter and said, “Run? Can something that this Emperor has taken fancy on escape? Come, this Emperor will bring this fleshy body and traverse the nine heavens and ten lands once more!”
Xie Lingzi’s figure moved and instantly caught up to Ye Yuan.
With a swoosh, Xie Lingzi directly tunneled into Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness!
Chapter 760 - Sealing off the Sea of Consciousness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ouch! Punk, you schemed against me.”
Xie Lingzi had just entered Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness and had yet to figure out what was happening, and he was struck by a soul sword, giving off a tragic cry.
“Heh, so what if I schemed against you? Eat another blow from me!”
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and released a soul sword once more.
“Ouch!”
Xie Lingzi cried out miserably once more. How could he have thought that Ye Yuan, a puny little Divine Traversing Realm, would actually have such fierce divine soul attack means?
Taken by surprise, Xie Lingzi was actually successfully schemed against by Ye Yuan.
Divine soul showdowns were incomparably dangerous. Xie Lingzi receiving two soul swords attack, his divine soul immediately withered considerably.
Although Xie Lingzi was a peak Alchemy Emperor divine soul, having slumbered for such a long time, even with the sealing of an array formation, his soul force was also running on empty.
Without the assistance of a physical body, for his soul force to want to recover, it was also basically impossible. Therefore, that was why he wanted to take possession of Ye Yuan’s physical body.
“En? No, wait! Your … Your divine soul!” Xie Lingzi suddenly discovered something and actually cried out weirdly.
The current Xie Lingzi was like a bunny whose tail was stepped on, suffering a considerable shock.
“Hehe, now you realised it?” Ye Yuan said with a ridiculing laugh.
Xie Lingzi cried out weirdly again and said, “Impossible! If you seized possession and revived, how can you possibly be so compatible with the fleshy body? Could it be … Could it be … Impossible! Didn’t Grayflame say that there are already no Deity Realm old monsters anymore now? Could it be that he was lying to me?”
Xie Lingzi’s cultivation realm and horizons were far from what ordinary martial artists could compare to. When he attempted to take possession and saw Ye Yuan’s divine soul, he immediately discovered something amiss.
How was this some Divine Traversing Realm brat? This was simply a peak Alchemy Emperor old freak!
It was just that Xie Lingzi could not figure out no matter what; Ye Yuan was clearly possessed, but why could he be so compatible with the fleshy body?
Seizing possession and reviving, under normal circumstances, there was no way to be fully compatible with the new fleshy body.
Xie Lingzi prepared a series of contingency plans for the sake of taking possession and reviving. But these contingency plans could only let him reduce this kind of incompatibility to the lowest too!
The only ones able to reach this kind of degree were only Deity Realm powerhouses!
But Ye Yuan’s fleshy body was actually just like his own. This was simply something unimaginably queer.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “He didn’t lie to you. Divine Dao has already vanished for over 100 thousand years. Now, under this stretch of sky, there are indeed no Deity Realm powerhouses.”
Xie Lingzi’s eyes became round-circles as he said with a disbelieving face, “This … How is this possible? Then how did you do it?”
Ye Yuan flashed a brilliant smile and said, “You really want to know?”
Xie Lingzi nodded his head stiffly. Clearly, he was
completely bewildered by this.
Ye Yuan suddenly spread his two hands out and said, “Actually, I don’t know either …”
Xie Lingzi’s expression could not help choking up as he said furiously, “You’re playing games with me!”
Ye Yuan said helplessly, “Just telling the truth. It’s you who don’t believe it!”
“I believe! I believe your freaking head! Boy, even if you’re a peak Tier 9, you’re also just birds of a feather with me right now. Who lives and who dies is still unknown!” Xie Lingzi roared furiously.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “Then you can very well come and give it a shot!”
The two divine souls were both tigers who landed in the plains, lost their power and authority. Their strengths were less than one-ten-thousandth of their pinnacle period.
But there was one point: Ye Yuan was at the rising phase, while Xie Lingzi was at the declining phase.
Furthermore, in terms of divine soul methods, Ye Yuan judged himself that he would not lose to anyone!
Even if this opponent in front of him was a powerhouse in the Divine Dao Era!
“I’ll give it a try then! I don’t believe that you, a junior boy in an age of declining laws, can still overturn the skies! Divine Soul Storm!”
Xie Lingzi was indeed well-deserving of being a powerhouse in the Divine Dao Era. His opening move was an extremely violent divine soul mystic art.
As soon as this Divine Soul Storm was executed, Xie Lingzi’s divine soul immediately transformed into a tempest, and actually wanted to tear Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness into shreds!
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and cried out, “Divine soul mystic art, Wind Cleaving Blade!”
A powerful soul force coalesced to form a gigantic blade, crushing over towards Xie Lingzi’s Divine Soul Storm, carrying an imposing momentum which pressed forth with an indomitable will.
Rip …
The Divine Soul Storm was extremely powerful and actually directly cracked open a large gap on Ye Yuan’s blade.
But Xie Lingzi was even more tragic. His Divine Soul Storm was cleaved into two halves by Ye Yuan immediately.
