353: Chapter 297 353: Chapter 297 There were some who, cloaked in a facade of righteousness, actually sought to assail him with their mana, and thus a battle commenced in the Immortal Realm.
His Immortal Body suffered only minor injuries in that struggle, and with his Magic Artifact, he won that battle.
He became an indomitable presence in the Immortal Realm, the overlord of a domain.
But as more Immortals ascended to the Immortal Realm, among them were many female cultivators.
Just like before, he had many women by his side who were completely submissive to him.
One day, he met an exceedingly beautiful woman, whose beauty was unparalleled in the Immortal Realm.
The appearance of this woman led to many men falling in love with her, including various cultivators and demons who were all enchanted by her.
He too was captivated by this beauty and wished to take her as one of the members of his harem.
However, a beauty can also be a source of disaster, as others vied for the woman.
His desire to claim her for his harem resulted in an increased number of men mounting attacks against him.
He wasn’t afraid of the many beings of the Immortal Realm who besieged him.
Relying on his spells, he defeated more of them and absorbed their Immortal Techniques, killing these Human Immortals.
Having killed numerous Immortals, he finally obtained the woman, who also dutifully obeyed him and learned the fearsome Immortal Law everyone was afraid of.
After spending some days with him, the stunning beauty learned his Immortal Technique and, during an intimate moment, she used his Immortal Technique to absorb his Immortal Law.
Caught off guard by an attack, he was gravely injured and had to flee with the Hell Palace Magic Artifact.
Having escaped, he was no longer the strongest being in the Immortal Realm.
The woman, using her spells and beauty, charmed many men into becoming her harem, further pursuing him.
After enduring siege after siege and weary battles, in the final moments before his death, he cast a fragment of his soul into The Mortal Realm and sent the Hell Palace into The Mortal Realm as well.
Using his last bit of strength, he sought mutual destruction with the woman, shattering the staircase used for human ascension in the Immortal Realm, causing the Heavenly Realm to collapse.
Countless died in that catastrophe, and his strength was exhausted.
His fragment remained in The Mortal Realm for almost ten thousand years, only awakening now.
Unwilling to be vanquished by such treachery, he sought a body to possess.
This treacherous creature’s host, this body, was quite impressive.
With his Immortal Technique and handsome appearance, once he defeated this treacherous creature, he could dominate the Cultivation World once more.
Harboring grand ambitions, the fragment wasn’t given much time by the treacherous creature to reminisce about the past.
Repeated powerful suctions came forth; he had not only the Supreme Elixirs provided by Jiang Tang but could also use the golden liquid in Jiang Tang’s mind to fight against the soul fragment.
Jiang Tang sat on the Flying Treasure, without the mood to activate it, the Flying Treasure remained stationary above the clouds.
The others on the Flying Treasure didn’t urge him to leave quickly, knowing that the Black Mist which had attacked them was subjugated by Jiang Tang but then suddenly turned on him.
That Black Mist was a very strong and living entity; even those who were clueless understood that it must be a very powerful ghost.
Jiang Tang could sense the Hell Palace within the space stirring, seemingly aware of its master’s soul.
The Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace activated it, causing the Palace to fly around within the space inside Jiang Tang’s body.
Perhaps sensing the presence, the original owner of the Hell Palace appeared somewhere within Jiang Tang’s body.
The small creature in Jiang Tang’s mind thought of many ways to achieve possession, but failing that, it had to erase all consciousness and memories from the Black Mist, making it a being without any awareness, so it could be put to use.
The small creature was even keener to absorb the soul fragment’s memories, which included memories from the soul of an ancient Immortal, how powerful it was in the Immortal Realm, and also memories of various other spells.
The small creature conveyed this idea to Jiang Tang, who wholeheartedly supported the plan, and dispatched another avatar to assist the other small creature.
The other avatar took many Golden Crystal Elves from the space, including the largest one, and, lacking the strength of the other small creature, could only rely on the Gold Crystal Elf for help.
The Golden Crystal Elf entered Jiang Tang’s mind and, finding so much golden liquid there, was delighted.
It absorbed the liquid, then confronted the soul fragment.
Attacked from all sides by two avatars and so many Gold Crystal Elves, the lingering soul fragment initially didn’t care about these “insects” at all, confident that their close presence posed no threat.
Unfortunately, his assumption was wrong.
What seemed like ordinary insects actually posed a significant threat to the soul fragment, capable of biting his spirit, which caused him immense pain.
While it had to fend off those two little people, it also had to deal with the biting insects—a feat of strength that it had never seen before, even after becoming an Immortal.
These were definitely not ordinary insects.
He had greatly underestimated them, for even the Immortal Realm would find them difficult to handle.
How had he never seen such insects before?
If these insects had existed before, that wretched person would not have been able to kill him.
Could it be that heaven wanted to destroy him?
No, no, he had just awakened and couldn’t be killed again.
He needed to be reborn…
Ah…
The soul fragment, when bitten by the insects, experienced an unbearable itching and pain, a sensation that felt worse than death itself.
The two avatars continued to drain his power, steadily siphoning his strength away.
With the insects biting and the two enemies attacking, the soul fragment lost its ability to retaliate as its power was drained bit by bit.
The largest Gold Crystal Elf led the others in their relentless biting of the soul fragment, intending to devour its memories.
The soul fragment carried a trace of Immortal Qi.
The Gold Elves voraciously consumed it, stripping away its memories thread by thread until the soul fragment grew dull, numb to any attacks from the two avatars, unresponsive even to the biting insects.
Once the soul fragment stopped resisting and became motionless, the two avatars in Jiang Tang’s mind collected the Gold Elves.
One of the little people then absorbed the soul fragment, turning it into its own strength.
The soul fragment, after being consumed by the insects, lost all its memories.
But for the little person, it was a great tonic.
Having devoured the soul fragment, the little person rapidly grew larger and stronger, leveling up on the spot and becoming much more powerful than the other, advancing to the mid-Mahayana stage.
This transformation benefited Jiang Tang’s body as well.
Having fed the little people in his mind so many Supreme Elixirs, and now with one of them having devoured the soul fragment and grown stronger,
his own body was also affected by the little person, with his Spiritual Energy soaring, breaking through the shield of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Mansion.
Those on the flying arrow felt the colorful aura of Spiritual Energy emitting from Jiang Tang’s body; they understood that this colorful power was beneficial and could strengthen a person.
It might also be the perception of a spell.
Grandfather said that such colorful light was Immortal Qi.
Everyone began using their own cultivation techniques, trying to absorb the light emanating from Jiang Tang’s body.
The other avatar inside Jiang Tang’s body also benefited, becoming stronger by one level.
The two pets within Jiang Tang’s Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space also benefited.
Sensing their master’s increase in strength, they too began to meditate, striving to break through to a higher level.
The sky suddenly filled with colorful light.
It had just rained heavily, and after the rain cleared and the sun reappeared, colorful light shone, which some mistook for a rainbow.
Upon seeing it, people in the Cultivation World perceived it as a universal diffusion of Immortal Qi.
This must be the diffusion of a Great Power Holder.
Those capable began using their Flying Treasures to ascend and meditate in the sky, absorbing the colorful light but not daring to get too close to its source.
No one thought it to be the appearance of an Immortal Treasure, which would also emit colorful light, but that typically happened in secret places, not in the open sky.
Unaware why Jiang Tang was radiating colorful light, those around him did not bother asking or disturbing him at that moment.
Jiang Tang himself did not know why his diffusion was accompanied by colorful light.
As the little person absorbed the soul fragment, not only did it benefit him, but he also felt a strand of Immortal Qi within his body.
With the absorption of a wisp of Immortal Qi, his body grew stronger, and it felt like his strength was not merely of the Spirit Mansion level.
Like the little people in his mind, he had become a Mahayana Great Power Holder.
With this step forward on the path of cultivation, Jiang Tang believed he was no weaker than others in the Cultivation World.
No longer would he fear anyone else; against any other Mahayana, he had three—referring to the two little people and his own body combined.
