Chapter 1070 - Possession

Chapter 1070: Possession

“This set of seven ancient bronze lamps is called the ‘Seven Star Destiny Lamps’. It can maintain the vitality of the body even if the soul has left it. It’s also a set of treasures!”

Fang Yuan sized up the surrounding ancient lamps and flipped through Immortal Annihilating Soul’s ancient books. “This Immortal is really a great person!”

Possession was a very troublesome affair.

The most feared problems were the host’s own soul being too strong and the physical resistance of the body.

Immortal Annihilating Soul had already reduced these issues by a fair bit. He had thought about the remaining problems and even prepared the necessary elixir and auxiliary materials.

This was equivalent to an old woman working hard to prepare a big meal but finally serving it to others!

Fang Yuan estimated that Immortal Annihilating Soul’s heart had to be dripping blood now.

Gold Ingot checked several times and said to Fang Yuan, “Not only does this body not have a soul, but it also received Blood Qi and natural source enhancements… That Immortal put in a lot of effort and resources into this body. It was obviously for his own use.”

“A first-grade peerless totem is naturally worthy!” Fang Yuan smiled. Light radiated from his hand, and a jade slip appeared. It was the ‘Soul Possession Method’!

“You’ll be punished if you don’t take the chances given to you by the heavens… There are no problems after repeated checks. That Immortal Annihilating Soul obviously didn’t think that I would steal Bamboo, so he probably didn’t arrange anything on him. All that’s left now is to just do it!”

Fang Yuan brought Bamboo’s body into a secret room.

“I’ll carry your karma since I’m going to use your body… Don’t worry. I’ll definitely take revenge for you and kill Immortal Annihilating Soul if he’s still alive when I’m able to!” He offered a prayer and sealed the secret room.

All was dark without a trace of light.

Regardless of whether it was orthodox cultivators, demon cultivators, or barbarians, their essence souls would be very fragile until they reached the Immortal level. He could not see a shred of light when possessing.

This was all recorded in the ancient book.

The Kun Yun Sect of the Orthodox Dao and the Revenant Soul of the Demon Dao were the first to enter the barbarian lands.

He had found this reminder in the storage bag of Immortal Myriad Soul.

It seemed like this sect had researched a lot into souls and the like.

“Begin!”

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and operated the method.

Qi from the Clam Dragon rose and shrouded everything in fog. A Destiny Primordial Core emerged, and a small figure walked out.

“Essence Soul… split!”

He immediately felt pain like that of thousands of knives piercing him.

This unimaginable pain could even cause an Essence Soul to become unstable and collapse.

But who was Fang Yuan?

Even if his Essence Soul was splitting in two, the corner of his mouth merely twitched slightly. “Gather!”

At that moment, two Essence Souls revolved and condensed into two smaller figures. One of them was clearly thirty percent larger than the other.

“Main Essence Soul, return!”

The larger Essence Soul nodded and entered his Primordial Core.

Fang Yuan exhaled, feeling exhaustion and weakness coming from the depths of his soul. Fang Yuan laughed bitterly. “What a great loss to my Essence Soul. Fortunately, I have pills!”

Pills that nourished the soul were very rare among the barbarians, but those Immortals had high net worth, and he had obtained more luxurious items than from Annihilating Soul.

He did not hesitate to swallow three bottles of pills in a row and felt better immediately.

After a short rest, he formed hand seals and used various elixirs to nourish the split Essence Soul.

When he felt that it could improve no further, Fang Yuan nodded and pointed at the body. “Go!”

Poof!

The small figure smiled and flung itself directly into Bamboo.

Bamboo’s body trembled slightly and took a deep breath before long.

“Success!”

Fang Yuan could feel this body accepting his Essence Soul. He started sensing parts of the body to achieve the best effect.

“The Essence Soul still requires seven days and nights to fully adapt!”

He nodded, started meditating by the side, and swallowed pills while his clone slept.

Deep sleep was one of the best methods for the Essence Soul and the body to merge. Forcibly rousing him would be counterproductive to this perfect process, so Fang Yuan was not the least bit anxious.

…

Seven days and nights passed by in a flash.

Fang Yuan got up, feeling refreshed. “Great, I should have recovered to ninety percent!”

His Essence Soul could naturally grow through various means; otherwise, he would not have been stupid enough to split a second Essence Soul out.

He was full of energy, standing silently beside Bamboo.

After some time, Bamboo sat up. His eyes sparkled as he exchanged glances with Fang Yuan.

“All right!”

Fang Yuan had experience manipulating his incarnations, so there was nothing he needed to adapt to since it was his own Essence Soul.

He walked out with his clone, stared at Bamboo’s face, and rubbed his own chin. “Hehe… Yet another new face. I’m a little not used to it!”

At the same time, the clone said, “But this is fine as well… It saves me time changing my face. This is a brand new identity!”

The convenient part about a clone was that he had two bodies, meaning he had an extra life.

Fang Yuan decided that from now on, his main body would stay in the Pantheon Palace to cultivate.

This clone, with its new face would, venture out into the world.

“As expected of a clone technique!” Gold Ingot walked over and nodded. “It’s the best method to protect yourself. Good… You have another level of safety!”

He was the artifact spirit of the Pantheon Place and pinned his wishes on Fang Yuan to exact revenge for his old master, so he naturally hoped that Fang Yuan could become as strong as possible.

“However, you risked so much just for him?” Gold Ingot gave the clone a sidelong glance. “He must have peak aptitude since he was a barbarian core seed, but…”

“Haha… You naturally don’t know. Even the patriarchs of the Holy Mountains only valued his totem, but they didn’t know about his true value!”

Fang Yuan laughed.

At the same time, his heart trembled.

Bamboo had awakened a first-grade totem with an amazing magical power. He could even kill a Primordial Core realm cultivator when he was just at the Materialization realm. He was also taken in as a disciple by an Immortal. Bamboo had all the makings of a main character.

But in an unfortunate moment, his providence reached its nadir, leading to the destruction of his soul. Even then, others were still using his body. It was a big warning to him.

“True value?”

“That’s right. My Clam Dragon’s Illusion Realm is one of the best, but his magical power isn’t inferior!”

The clone roared with laughter and released his materialization.

Rumble!

The entire Pantheon Palace shook.

Gold Ingot looked up at that horrifying figure.

It had a red snake body and a human head with one eye. Its breath produced clouds and mist. When it opened and closed its eye, the world changed color! It was precisely the Torch Dragon!

“What a weird shape… But its aura is very strong, definitely a first-grade totem!” Gold Ingot said slowly.

Fang Yuan was speechless.

Then he remembered that the Torch Dragon totem was extremely rare, similar to his Clam Dragon totem.

Others naturally did not know much about it because of its rarity, so he started to explain. “This Torch Dragon has the power of time!”

“What?” Gold Ingot exclaimed, “The Nomological Laws of Time?! They are indeed apex nomological laws that aren’t part of the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws! Even so, they’re still faintly related.”

“Did you think I merely wanted a first-grade totem or an extra life?”

Fang Yuan glanced to his side and stepped out.

Rumble!

The Qi of Heaven and Earth converged, and an illusory Primordial Core emerged.

The Torch Dragon roared, and its Destiny Magical Power pattern condensed into a seed and submerged into the Primordial Core.

The merger of Essence Soul, Primordial Core, and magical power seed formed another perfect Primordial Core!

Bamboo had only been at the Materialization realm, but Fang Yuan’s clone had just broken through to the Primordial Core realm!

“This is also my fate… If Bamboo had reached Primordial Core before I possessed his body, the Primordial Core would be incompatible, and I would have had many hardships in the future… But there’s no such problem now. He will be no different from my main body after going through the lightning tribulation and being reborn…”

There were many restrictions and hidden dangers in possession.

Even though he had condensed the Primordial Core, Fang Yuan could still feel the aura of the predecessor left in this body.

However, it was already much lesser than others. After the lightning tribulation, he could definitely cultivate this clone to reach complete and flawless integration between body and soul.

“You actually have such ambitions. What is his Destiny Magical Power?” Gold Ingot asked after keeping silent for some time.

“The Destiny Magical Power of the Torch Dragon is bound to involve the Nomological Laws of Time!”

Fang Yuan smiled and raised his hand. A ray of light turned back and forth between his fingers.

This ray was green and contained a sense of the passage of time. It turned into a flying knife in the next instant.

“Destiny Magical Power—Time Flying Blade! Time will fly by and make the opponent age with every cut!”

This Time Flying Blade Destiny Magical Power might not be as comprehensive as the Illusion Realm, but it specialized in killing and possessed incredible might.

Not only did it possess sheer destructive power, but it also possessed the Nomological Laws of Time, which could cut short longevity!

“With my current Primordial Core cultivation, everyone below Immortal would undoubtedly die once I launched this attack!”

Fang Yuan was very confident about this. “In theory, even the endless life of Immortals might not necessarily be as eternal as heaven and earth…”

Of course, he did not possess this body for the powerful attack.

“Most important is still the Primordial Core’s Destiny Magical Power. I can finally sense the fluctuations of the Nomological Laws of Time…”

The Nomological Laws of Time were related to the passage of time!

Reaching basic mastery would be even more difficult for it than the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws.

However, there was no doubt that the might of this magical power would be incredible if he were to succeed even a little.

Especially after fusing with the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws, it would be Great Dao with unlimited prospects!
