第四卷 七星岛 第五百七十八章 夺舍与重组身体

The two old monsters were a bit too excited. The元婴 didn't target them; instead, it flashed to the red-robed woman's head.

This woman was clearly alarmed, her face pale as she opened her mouth slightly, intending to use some secret technique. But the元婴 had already entered her brow.

Soul possession!

The woman let out a shrill cry as her body trembled uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

"Junior Sister!"

Geng Biao was shocked and angry. Faced with this sudden turn of events, he, just a Condensation Core cultivator, could do nothing but watch helplessly.

However, these two old monsters wouldn't stand by idly. They didn’t care about the red-robed woman’s fate, but they were extremely wary of their peer-level opponent and couldn’t let her possess another body freely.

They exchanged a glance. The tortoise demon waved its arms wildly, and the crystal flying knife shot out instantly. Master Ku then puffed his cheeks and spat out grayish-white demonic flames from his mouth.

Seize the moment! These two old monsters didn't care about fairness; they would pick the weakest moment to kill their enemy. A sweet giggle echoed in their ears as the red-robed woman stopped trembling, her lotus feet kicking off the ground, and she retreated several dozen meters away like a lightning bolt.

Boom!

The attack missed, and the two old monsters looked at each other in shock, their expressions turning ugly. Although the red-robed woman was only mid-Condensation Core, being possessed so quickly by the opponent showed how powerful this元婴's abilities were, far exceeding their expectations.

The demon’s face turned ashen as it stretched out a hand toward the void. The flying knife instantly grew larger, transforming into a blade a dozen feet wide that whirled through the air and fiercely slashed at the opponent.

Master Ku performed the same action. This old man known for his cruelty puffed his cheeks again, spitting out more grayish-white demonic flames that coalesced into a giant snake as thick as a water pipe, which lunged toward the woman.

Facing the joint attack of one human and one demon, the red-robed woman showed no fear on her face. She raised her slender hand and flicked it like playing a tune.

A small bracelet appeared in mid-air.

The design was ancient, looking like something she wore around her wrist.

Initially, the two old monsters didn't take it seriously; this wasn’t some powerful item. However, as the woman calmly pointed at the bracelet, a layer of spiritual light radiated from it.

Though gentle, when activated by Inner Refinement Method, the light spread out like ripples and almost instantly touched their attacks.

Silent...

However, the demonic flames transformed into a giant snake seemed to have met its match. Like ice melting in sunlight, it rapidly disintegrated. Master Ku’s face changed, but his fellow tortoise demon wasn’t much better; upon contact with the bracelet's light, the flying knife's offensive slowed down, and its spirit diminished.

How could this be?

The two old monsters were shocked. They realized their opponent was even more formidable than they had imagined and decided to temporarily halt their attacks.

However, the woman turned the tide with one move but didn’t immediately counterattack. Instead, she extended her jade arm, tracing a strange path in mid-air, opening her mouth slightly and uttering mysterious ancient incantations.

Seeing this, Master Ku couldn't bear to wait any longer; he patted his head hard and summoned the Soulless Bone Club.

Grim winds rose as countless demonic energies surged from his body.

"Wait!"

He snapped his fingers, driving his法宝. But the tortoise demon raised an eyebrow, stopping him from acting rashly.

"Why are you doing this, friend?" Master Ku said with a frown. Could this demon be working in tandem with that woman to trap him? The thought made him shudder and his vigilance rise.

However, the tortoise demon’s expression was peculiar; there was no trace of aggression, just a fixed gaze on the woman before him... with a hint of fear but more disbelief.

Master Ku found this strange and muttered under his breath.

Then he heard the red-robed woman cry out: "Quickly!"

Her voice was melodious, trailing off at the end.

A shocking surge of essence energy rose into the air, enveloping her body. The light was so bright it seemed she was encased in a rising sun.

Even for an old元婴 cultivator like Master Ku, this was disorienting. He quickly injected his essence energy into his eyes.

What he saw next left him stunned.

In the pure spiritual light, the red-robed woman’s body began to dissolve rapidly. In an instant, the old monster almost thought he had misjudged.

Was she trying to commit suicide in such a way?

Unless she was insane?

Master Ku found this incomprehensible but couldn’t deny what his eyes were seeing.

However, the tortoise demon's expression was entirely different.

Its fear deepened; it was an ancient monster that had lived for millions of years. Even though it was just a one-stage beast at the time, it had seen such terrifying techniques.

This was the exclusive technique of Jade Profound Sect. However, only a few top-ranking elders in the sect could perform it.

Reconstructing the body.

It was well-known that after advancing to the元婴 stage, cultivators were hard to kill; even if their bodies were destroyed, they could possess another one.

However, due to the laws of nature, such self-serving techniques had significant limitations.

They could only possess a cultivator with a lower spiritual root. In other words, while the body could be reacquired, the cultivation level would plummet drastically. Moreover, future cultivation would become immensely difficult.

This was considered a natural restriction on high-ranking cultivators; otherwise, they could freely possess low-rank cultivators at will.

However, there were always special cases throughout endless ages, and some extraordinary geniuses emerged.

The Immortal of Indestructibility was such an example!

He was the seventh-generation patriarch of Jade Profound Sect.

The name sounded odd, but he wasn’t truly immortal; this title came from a unique功法 he created. This technique partially broke through the laws of nature, allowing元婴 cultivators to possess another body and then have it dissolve into new parts. Using his blood as an inducer, they could reassemble their bodies.

With this secret method, newly generated bodies bore the imprint of the元婴’s essence, making them look exactly like the original body before possession, with no difference in talent or age.

Of course, perfection was unattainable in the cultivation world; each person could only use this technique once per lifetime.

Now, the tortoise demon's eyes were filled with fear. The ancient elders of Jade Profound Sect had formidable techniques, but it couldn’t be true. How long did any kind have such a lifespan? Moreover, during that great calamity and internal strife, shouldn't this sect already have been destroyed?
