This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 127 Primordial Spirit Possession (Part 2)

"Tower Master Dantai, do you have any means to attack the Divine Soul?" Lu Qingshan turned to ask Dantai Qingrun, who was levitating beside him, in a soft voice.

Whether his conjecture was correct, he would know after trying!

Dantai Qingrun was momentarily stunned, not quite understanding Lu Qingshan's intention, but seeing his serious expression, she subconsciously nodded, "There are some means, but they are relatively ordinary."

"Please then, Tower Master Dantai, try using your method to attack Luohu's incarnation," Lu Qingshan said.

The trust they had established through numerous collaborations prevented Dantai Qingrun from hesitating any longer.

"Release!"

With a soft cry from Dantai Qingrun, a tiny Sword Light shot forth from between her brows.

Unlike the ordinary Sword Light that shimmered with special effects at full strength, this Sword Light was plain and colorless, almost imperceptible.

The Soul Hosting Sword Light attaches the Sword Light to the Divine Soul after prolonged refining, endowing it with the properties to attack the Divine Soul.

The Soul Hosting Sword Light flew towards Luohu's incarnation, passing silently without any disturbance or ripple, hidden amidst the fierce attacks of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, appearing very inconspicuous.

Yet, this attack launched by a Golden Core Cultivator, upon coming into contact with Luohu's incarnation, ignored the protective Blood Light shimmering on its body and entered into Luohu's incarnation.

Though the attack didn't make much noise, Lu Qingshan, who had been focusing intently on Luohu's incarnation, immediately noticed a mark on the incarnation's arm flickering once, half disappearing in that instant.

"Lu Qingshan, Luohu's Soul Split fluctuated just now; that attack affected it!" said the King of the Western Rats, who had remained silent since arriving and realizing that there were formidable opponents on the field.

The Illusion Rat's innate ability to sense fluctuations in the Divine Soul was incredibly keen, and the words of the King of the Western Rats confirmed Lu Qingshan's suspicion.

Indeed!

"Tower Master Dantai, the flaw in Luohu's incarnation lies within its Divine Soul; his protective Blood Light can't block the Divine Soul Attacks!" Lu Qingshan stated firmly.

Upon hearing his words, a divine light flashed in Dantai Qingrun's eyes, and she immediately raised her voice to alert the others, "Qi Yuan, Tower Master, True Monarch Yuanming, attack Luohu's Divine Soul!"

Qi Yuan was the first one to respond to Dantai Qingrun's words.

Oblivious to the call, Qi Yuan's eyes shut slightly as he formed a Seal Gesture, and the Soul Devouring Needle Spirit Art made its move again, hurtling towards Luohu's incarnation.

The methods of a Nascent Soul Cultivator were naturally not comparable to those of Dantai Qingrun.

Futhermore, specializing in a field, unlike Dantai Qingrun who regarded the Soul Hosting Sword Light as an additional method, Divine Soul Attack Spells were one of the primary disciplines of high-rank Spiritual Cultivators. Qi Yuan's research on Divine Soul Attack Spells was many times more advanced than Dantai Qingrun's.

Under the onslaught of Qi Yuan's Soul Devouring Needle, the marks on Luohu's incarnation's arm, including the one that had already faded by half, instantaneously vanished into several others.

Seeing such effectiveness, Chu He and Lin Lang immediately switched tactics.

As Cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, their spell systems were already complete; naturally, they would not lack Divine Soul Attack Spells.

With a Taoist Sword Gesture by Chu He, a glittering radiance emerged in his palm, complex and mysterious patterns manifesting. His arm trembling lightly, he uttered a soft command, and a streak of blazing light moved forth, entering Luohu's incarnation's body with a hiss.

Several intricate marks disappeared, and the dark aura enveloping Luohu's incarnation thinned slightly.

Chu He was extremely excited, "It's really working; this demon can't defend against Divine Soul Attacks!"

The Asura within the formation's core, witnessing this scene, had their expression change dramatically, their eyes glaring fiercely.

Yes, the only loophole in the entire process was there.

In the original plan, during the Blood Pool Reincarnation, there should have been auxiliary Spiritual Liquid, the Souls' Ghost Lotus Liquid, to help Luohu's Soul Split quickly take over the incarnation.

The Ghost Lotus Liquid could form a lotus membrane to protect the Soul Body, and besides, it also had a beneficial effect on the fusion of Soul Body and Physical Body.

Ghost Lotus Liquid was refined using Ghost Lotus as the main material; the problem was that Ghost Lotus grows in the Demon Abyss and matures only once every thousand years, having matured just a few days ago.

And bringing the Ghost Lotus from the Demon Abyss to the Human Race territory would take some time.

Not to mention that refining the Ghost Lotus Liquid was an extremely time-consuming task.

In his estimation, preparing the Ghost Lotus Liquid would take close to three months.

The aggressive actions of the Zhenjiang Tower forced the Asura to launch the Corpse Puppet Chaos prematurely, and as such, the Ghost Lotus Liquid naturally wasn't ready.

While the Asura found an alternative quickly, an alternative was just that, an alternative; its effectiveness was much weaker than the Ghost Lotus Liquid, and it lacked the defensive capability against Divine Soul Attacks.

He thought that such a minor loophole would be very difficult to detect in a short time.

Yet the outcome was contrary to his wishes.

The Asura's eyes emitted a bloody red light, his palms in front of him clashing together while the four arms behind him each held a dark Magic Wheel, leaping out from the core of the formation, directly assaulting Chu He, Qi Yuan, and Lin Lang.

Without the protection of the Formation's power, taking the initiative to provoke the three Nascent Soul Cultivators was undoubtedly a suicidal move.

But he could no longer care about that; he had to interfere with the three of them.

If he could just delay for a little while until Luohu could control the Physical Body, what would three Nascent Soul Cultivators matter then?

Qi Yuan could naturally tell what Asura was thinking.

"You all continue, leave Asura to me!" Lin Lang took action in an instant, summoning Yuanming Mountain and crashing it down towards Asura with a rolling thunderous sound.

"Hidden within the formation, I was unable to reach you, but now you've voluntarily left its protection. Let's see what tricks you have left." Lin Lang's voice was ice-cold, clearly having been irritated earlier, and he immediately dashed, seeking out Asura.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Lang and Asura tangled in battle, with the sound of thunder and lightning explosion, the clang of magic artifacts colliding continuously emanating, and waves of mana dispersing all around.

On the other side.

Sssss—

Under Chu He and Qi Yuan's relentless attacks, the dense web of marks covering Luohu's incarnation had faded by twenty percent.

Just then.

Thump!

An intensely strong heartbeat sounded.

Engaged in a prolonged struggle with Lin Lang and unable to extricate himself, Asura's face unexpectedly revealed a hint of joy upon hearing this sound.

The uppermost eye of Luohu's tightly closed four eyes suddenly opened abruptly.

It was a blood-red pupil, a vicious aura lurking within it.

Luohu's incarnation surveyed the Human Cultivators with its single eye, as though looking down on ants, filled with brutality and coldness.

Qi Yuan and the others' continuous attacks had thoroughly enraged the quick-tempered Asura King, Luohu.

"Once Luohu opens all four eyes, it means he has completely taken control of this physical body. If we don't hurry to stop him, it will be too late!" Lu Qingshan was burning with anxiety.

Qi Yuan and Chu He also understood the urgency of the situation and quickly intensified their offensive. Dantai Qingrun also launched all of the dozens of Soul Hosting Sword Lights he had painstakingly refined after long cultivation.

It was only a moment before the marks on Luohu's body had been reduced by another ten percent, yet his second pupil struggled to open under such dire circumstances.

At this pace, it would be too late.

Lu Qingshan drew this conclusion in an instant.

A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

After all that had been done, was the outcome still unchangeable?

The demonic nature and ferocity of Luohu were unimaginable; once he revived, not a single cultivator on the field would be able to escape a demise.

In the past life's storyline, after Luohu's resurrection, he wiped out Zhenjiang City completely with a wave of his hand.

Luohu's third eye had also begun to crack open a slim gap.

"Qi Yuan, there's no more time. Do you have any other methods left..." Chu He's aged face wrinkled into a tight bunch, anxious as ever.

Qi Yuan ceased his Spirit Art and, looking at the extremely anxious Chu He, suddenly spoke, "I have one last method, though I don't know if it will be successful."

Upon hearing this, Chu He's face immediately showed a glimmer of joy, "Whether it succeeds or not, let's try first. If we delay any further, we won't even have a chance to try!"

Qi Yuan nodded, replying, "You're right."

In the midst of this turbulent battlefield, Qi Yuan eerily closed his eyes, calming his spirit and steadying his mind.

A phantom Soul Shadow flew out from the crown of Qi Yuan's head.

Then, Qi Yuan's body, suspended in mid-air, began to fall straight down.

Dantai Qingrun quickly moved, catching Qi Yuan's falling physical body.

Chu He's complexion changed, "Qi Yuan, you...!"

He never imagined that Qi Yuan's so-called final method would actually be this.

Primordial Spirit Possession!

A secret technique that a cultivator could use only once in their lifetime.

The second ironclad rule of Possession: Only those with higher cultivation can possess those with lower cultivation.

And Luohu's split soul was clearly stronger than Qi Yuan's.

This meant that Qi Yuan's attempt at possession was doomed to fail from the start.

Qi Yuan surely understood this principle as well.

But Qi Yuan's purpose in using Spirit Possession was to sacrifice his life, bearing the price of his spirit dissipating and not entering the cycle of reincarnation, to launch a suicidal Divine Soul Attack on Luohu!
