"Alright, you know almost everything you need to know."
"I'll give you another chance."
"Either you voluntarily withdraw and let this venerable one smoothly take over the Chaos Divine Body."
"Or you resist stubbornly and become my sworn enemy?"
Seeing that Qin Xuan's upgrade progress was almost complete and he was about to break through, Han Yue once again inquired into Qin Xuan's consciousness.
Upon hearing this question, Qin Xuan almost cursed out loud again.
Sworn enemy?
Damn it, if you weren't trying to take over my body, would we be sworn enemies?
I clearly said I would help you reshape your physical body!
However, Qin Xuan also knew that the conflict between them now was centered on his current body.
As long as he refused to relinquish control of his body and leave on his own, the conflict with Han Yue could not be resolved.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Qin Xuan decided to...
Fight him.
Damn it, why should I give up my own body to someone else?
If you want to usurp my position, then make the first move and kill me, the original occupant!
After all, as a descendant of the Dragon Country, his upbringing in resisting oppression led him to choose defiance unto death.
However, with the lack of transparency between the enemy and himself, he might have more to do besides fighting.
His mind raced, and Qin Xuan immediately changed his expression, saying hatefully, "No need to say more. If you want my body, come and take it yourself."
"This is my sea of consciousness. If we truly fight, who knows who will win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xuan's originally calm spiritual power began to surge wildly with the fluctuation of his emotions.
Seeing this, Han Yue sneered.
This bluffing tactic had long been overused by cultivators in the immortal cultivation world.
It might scare others, but to scare himself...
Hmph.
It was simply wishful thinking.
"Very well, since you believe you have the upper hand, this master will show you what absolute crushing is."
"Do you really think that I, the dignified Lingxi Demon Venerable, haven't made adequate preparations over such a long period?"
As the words fell, Han Yue's body slowly flew from Qin Xuan's sea of consciousness into mid-air.
Demonic energy spread, and in almost an instant, the entire sea of consciousness turned black.
Qin Xuan's expression changed drastically. He knew he couldn't let the opponent make the first move.
But even though his movements were fast enough, he still couldn't dodge the black palm print casually slapped by Han Yue.
"Before you die, this master will teach you a motto: If you can't win, run!"
"The immortal cultivation world is all about fighting and killing. Never think you are better than others."
"It's a pity you'll never have the chance to apply this."
"Good disciple, die for this venerable one!"
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air instantly permeated Qin Xuan's entire sea of consciousness.
Qin Xuan's consciousness manifested a look of terror, which then turned into despair.
Bang—!
Splash—
As the palm print descended, Qin Xuan's sea of consciousness immediately erupted with monstrous waves.
And when the palm print dissipated, where was even a trace of Qin Xuan left on the sea of consciousness?
Looking at the gradually calming sea of consciousness and the physical body whose advancement had stalled, a hint of indescribable emotion appeared in Han Yue's eyes.
After standing for a long time, he slowly spoke to the now calm sea of consciousness, "Good disciple, do not blame this master."
"The immortal cultivation world is inherently a world where the strong prey on the weak. To break through to higher realms, even blood relatives can be killed, let alone master and disciple?"
"But rest assured, I will make proper arrangements for the people you care about."
"When this world returns to normal, I will bestow upon them an astonishing fortune."
"Even if..."
"It will be some compensation for you."
The so-called Demon Venerable is actually a Celestial Venerable who cultivates demonic arts.
Their cultivation methods are demonic, and their actions are as they please, not bound by the opinions of others.
But Han Yue was, after all, a Demon Venerable who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and his demonic side had long been hidden within his heart.
During his time on Blue Star, his soul was quite fragile.
It was Qin Xuan who had been silently nurturing the stone ring with spiritual energy, allowing him to recover quickly.
It was also Qin Xuan who had been comforting him, patting his chest and vowing to avenge his master and reshape his physical body.
After experiencing all these events, it was impossible to say that he had no feelings for Qin Xuan.
But as the saying goes, he was an existence that had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and such feelings, even if they existed, would not cause significant ripples in his heart.
After speaking his heartfelt words to the sea of consciousness, Han Yue's gaze quickly returned to its former greed.
This was the Chaos Divine Body, a legendary existence that could break all taboos.
Now, with just a flick of his finger, he could make it his own.
Coupled with the rich primordial spiritual liquid outside, it probably wouldn't take long to recover to his peak!
Hmph, True Martial Immortal Sect, Boundless Dao Sect...
All you so-called righteous sects, just wait for this venerable one!
When this venerable one's demonic cultivation reaches completion and my strength returns to its peak.
I will personally visit your sect's star domains and annihilate you all!
With a cold snort, Han Yue instantly bound his soul to Qin Xuan's now empty physical body.
Generally, soul possession does have issues with incompatibility.
But who was Han Yue?
Lingxi Demon Venerable!
He possessed tens of thousands of secret methods for perfect soul possession!
Any one of them could achieve the goal.
Moreover, the Chaos Divine Body was what he was about to possess.
It possessed unparalleled affinity for all things in the world, even humans, and even souls.
In an instant, a long-lost sensation swept through Han Yue's consciousness.
After the secret method ended and the soul possession was successful, he felt that his current state was simply too good!
Although it had been many years, he had long forgotten what he was like when he broke through to the Integration stage.
But he was confident that upon breaking through to the Integration stage, his strength would surely rival that of a Tribulation Three cultivator!
The so-called Tribulation Three refers to a Tribulation stage great cultivator who has undergone three heavenly tribulations.
Generally speaking.
After reaching the Great Perfection of the Integration stage, one would need to undergo tribulation.
After passing the heavenly tribulations, the cultivator's spiritual energy would gradually transform into immortal energy, which is the so-called Mahayana stage.
However, undergoing the immortal tribulation was not a one-day task, nor was there only one immortal tribulation.
Therefore, the entire period of undergoing tribulation was called the Tribulation stage by cultivators, and according to the number of immortal tribulations passed, Tribulation stage cultivators were divided into nine levels.
That is, from Tribulation One to Tribulation Nine.
A Tribulation Three cultivator might not sound very strong, ranking only third in the Tribulation stage.
But the so-called immortal tribulation was a test given by heaven to cultivators.
With each tribulation passed, the cultivator's strength would increase significantly.
Tribulation Three alone was already more than twice as strong as a Tribulation One cultivator.
And a Tribulation One cultivator and an Integration cultivator were like heaven and earth.
Now, Han Yue dared to claim to rival a Tribulation Three cultivator in the early Integration stage, which showed how powerful the Chaos Divine Body truly was.
