第一百六十五章 夺舍

The red-eyed divine thunder had flown close, and the strange little figure's face showed a hint of gravity. It stretched out its chubby hand and lightly waved it, summoning a flying sword from thin air.

The sword’s design was ancient and simple, with many peculiar talisman inscriptions on its hilt, indicating that it wasn't an ordinary item.

"Quickly!"

The little figure pointed at the flying sword, causing the artifact to emit a bright light as it charged towards the divine thunder. Seizing this opportunity, the little figure vanished in a flash.

In the next moment, he was less than a few feet away from the red-eyed old monster.

The old demon was greatly alarmed and reached out his ghostly claw-like right hand to grab the little figure.

But the little figure didn't take it seriously. Instead, a sneer appeared on its lips as it turned into a yellow light, dodging the old demon's palm and drilling into its head.

Then, the red-eyed old monster began trembling violently, his face twisted in agony. More strangely, two layers of light—one green and one yellow—flashed over his body, struggling for control.

Possession?

Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin exchanged glances, their faces showing shock.

"Taking over another's body," as the name suggests, refers to a situation where a cultivator’s essence body is destroyed but its soul remains. The cultivator can enter someone else's body, devouring their soul to gain new life.

However, this action was against heaven and earth, so it required extremely strict conditions—either an Immortal Core stage cultivator or at least a Condensation Core stage one, with the cultivation technique being exceedingly rare.

After all, old monsters of the Immortal Core stage had unparalleled abilities, like living immortals. Unless they were extraordinarily unlucky, even facing several same-stage opponents in an attack, escape was still possible.

Thus, ancient times knew nothing about it. But in the last few thousand years of cultivation, there hadn't been any reports of an Immortal Core cultivator taking over another's body.

As for the second possibility, it seemed easier at first glance—Condensation Core stage cultivators did encounter situations where their essence bodies were destroyed. However, such possession techniques were extremely rare and difficult to master that most people wouldn’t even consider practicing them if they somehow obtained one by chance.

Therefore, while possession was well-known among cultivators, the probability of it occurring was minuscule—almost a legend.

Yet, for Demon Tyrant Sovereign Heaven…

His experiences were vastly different from others. As an independent cultivator without any backing from a sect or family to reach Condensation Core stage perfection, only a few people in history had achieved this feat.

It was said that not only did he possess extraordinary talent and a resilient mind, but his cultivation technique "Heavenly Tyrant Demon Skill" was immensely complex. It just so happened to be one of the rare possession techniques.

That’s why the red-eyed old monster acted as if facing an enemy, despite his best efforts, still being invaded by the other.

The two layers of light flickering back and forth were their souls fighting for control over the body. Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his senses. This was a good opportunity to eliminate the opponent.

With a mental command, Wuhou from his storage bracelet appeared in the form of a fierce dragon.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan pointed at the red-eyed old monster, and the dragon immediately charged towards him with great ferocity.

Seize the moment when he’s weak. The old monster should be unable to retaliate now, making this an excellent time to kill it.

Seeing Lin Xuan's move, Ouyang Qinxin also woke up and took a deep breath to suppress her injuries. Her fingers plucked at the strings, creating beautiful music as golden arrows appeared in the sky.

The arrow was about two feet long, incredibly sharp, emitting shocking amounts of spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the situation with the red-eyed old monster changed. Yellow light rapidly overtook green light, occupying two-thirds of his body.

Then, the old monster's trembling stopped as he looked up and saw the dragon charging at him. With a flash in his eyes, he reached into his storage bag and summoned a hexagonal shield to block it.

With a loud thud, the dragon collided with the shield, but it was like trying to shake a tree—completely ineffective. Lin Xuan's expression changed; this shield was a defensive artifact, not on the same level as a divine treasure, so Wuhou couldn't break through it.

Fortunately, Ouyang Qinxin had completed her spell. The golden arrow whizzed through the air with terrifying speed…

The two clashed!

A burst of light exploded from the shield, accompanied by a massive shockwave. Lin Xuan's expression changed as he hurriedly activated his protective barrier to avoid being blown away.

A Condensation Core cultivator’s full power attack was indeed terrifying.

But after the light dissipated, the shield remained intact.

So strong?

Lin Xuan's heart sank, and Ouyang Qinxin looked equally grim.

"Ouyang Fairy from Bichun Mountain, ah, and you little guy. You escaped last time; now you dare to come here? Fine, I’ll make sure both of you die without a place to be buried!"

A strange laugh echoed. Lin Xuan raised his head and saw the yellow light rapidly consuming the green light. Indeed, the demon tyrant's soul was stronger, making possession of the red-eyed old monster only a matter of time.

Ouyang Qinxin clenched her teeth and didn't say much. She plucked at the strings, unleashing various attacks to bombard the shield.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan, though his strength far surpassed that of a Condensation Core cultivator, still added his efforts by commanding Wuhou to attack.

A quarter hour passed.

The light from the shield had dimmed significantly, even showing dents on its surface. However, it hadn't lost its vitality, making it impossible to destroy in short order.

Meanwhile, the green light had retreated below the old man's knees; it was only a matter of time before he was fully devoured and assimilated.

Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin exchanged glances, seeing each other’s reluctance. Although their goal was to find Demon Tyrant Heaven’s soul to steal the Dusty Heaven Pill, circumstances had changed.

The opponent was too strange. Not only could his soul manifest as that peculiar little figure, but he easily succeeded in possessing a Condensation Core后期的红眼老怪。

林轩和欧阳琴心对视一眼,都看到了彼此眼中的退意。虽然他们来这里的目的就是要寻找天煞魔君的灵魂,进而抢夺尘埃丹,但情况变了。对方太诡异了。不仅灵魂可以幻化出类似元婴的小人,还能轻易将凝丹后期的红眼老怪成功占据。

要知道,占卜是逆天之举,极其艰难。别说凝丹期修士,就是那些元婴期的老怪物进行占卜的成功率也吓人地低。而且通常情况下,被占卜的对象法力远逊于自己,双方神识相差悬殊,才有可能成功。而红眼老怪已经是凝丹后期,与天煞魔君相比,差距仅一线而已,按理说对方成功的几率不足万分之一,但现在的情形似乎轻松无比……

不知道这其中有什么隐秘。

总之,林轩和欧阳琴心不敢用正常的逻辑来衡量眼前这个怪物了。既然能灭掉红眼老怪,肯定更难缠。尘埃丹固然好,但有命才能享用啊。两人不约而同地化为一青一红两道遁光,向远处飞去。

片刻后,

红眼老怪终于完全安静下来,他身上的绿光已经被黄芒吞噬殆尽。他活动了一下身体,哈哈大笑起来,声音却与红眼老怪完全不同:“不错,不错,比刚才那具身体好多了,毕竟是凝丹后期的修魔者啊,虽然不及本魔君以前的法身,但相差也不多。”

随后,他面色阴沉地望向林轩和欧阳琴心飞走的方向,身形一转化为一道黄芒,迅捷无比地追了上去。原因无他,必须杀人灭口,否则自己冒充红眼老怪,瞒过正魔两道悄悄溜走的计划就会落空。

刚才的占卜看似轻松,其实却凶险万分。虽然有异宝在身可以提高成功率,但占卜毕竟是逆天之举,而且严格来说,这已经是第二次了,也是他能施展的最后一回占卜。

都怪正魔两道那些家伙,当初自己偶然发现了尘埃真人那件异宝,获得灵药后意气风发。不想消息走漏,陷入了正魔两道的围攻之中。十几个同阶修士联手阻击下,肉身被毁,使尽浑身解数才让元神逃了出来。

然后一路逃亡进入了奎阴山脉,在这里有一处自己的秘密洞府。没想到半路却遇见了一头月魔蜘蛛。虽然这仅仅是一头二阶妖兽,但月魔蜘蛛有天赋的能力,能吞食魂魄,恰巧那时自己最虚弱,一时没有注意竟被它吞入腹中……
