Chapter 1623: 3: Destroying One Another

“A trap!”

Jiang Yi’s heart started to palpitate like a raging sea; this ancient corpse had actually called him in order to take possession of his body?

Thirty thousand years?

This was evidently thirty thousand Higher-Domain years. This Mighty God Race absolute master formidable martial artist’s corpse had been dead for thirty thousand Higher-Domain years; his remnant soul actually still remained. That was a little too terrifying, right?

Regardless of the situation—as it was a matter of life and death, Jiang Yi instinctively thought about self-preservation. Without any hesitation and ignoring the green light that was rushing into his soul spirit, he immediately circulated his Xiaozhuan characters as a six-colored flame appeared in his hands as he slammed it furiously at that ancient corpse.

Buzz!

The Xiaozhuan characters surfaced in his soul spirit consciousness and shone incessantly. After that green light had entered Jiang Yi’s soul spirit, it had immediately tried to occupy his entire soul spirit consciousness. However, after the Xiaozhuan characters started to shimmer, the green light grew weaker significantly.

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was once again shaken as his overbearing burning flames slammed at the corpse. It actually did not immolate, though the blackened skin did grow red. Besides that, it seemed as if it had withstood that six-colored flame with ease. This mummy was extremely powerful. Even Heavenly King You—wearing his jade-white armor—had been incinerated by the six-colored flame; in comparison, this mummy was so much more powerful.

“Eh?”

At the same time, a cry of astonishment rang out in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit. That green light had surged crazily into Jiang Yi’s soul spirit; however, it had been blocked by the Xiaozhuan characters and temporarily couldn’t get close to Jiang Yi’s soul spirit.

“What are these things? Lad, I did not expect you to have such a powerful soul spirit cardinal treasure!”

An ancient voice traveled from within the green light. This voice soon changed tone as it said: “Lad, stop struggling. I was the Mighty God Race’s number-one formidable martial artist beneath the royal family; although soul spirit attacks are not my specialty, I can easily deal with a nobody like you. Be obedient and submit to my will. I will help your physical body to grow stronger by tens, hundreds, and thousands of folds. At that time, I will have the ability to rebuild and restore the Mighty God Race to its former glory. We will then rule over the entire Heaven Domain.”

Swish!

Streaks of shooting stars appeared from the green light as they rushed forward furiously and attacked the Xiaozhuan characters. Those Xiaozhuan characters grew dim at a frightening speed; it was obvious they were not going to be able to withstand the green light’s attacks for long.

What should I do?

Jiang Yi was getting worried. The Xiaozhuan characters were actually very powerful; even Titled Battle Gods’ soul spirit attacks might not be able to destroy his soul spirit.

However, this mummy was the number-one formidable martial artist beneath the Mighty God Race royal family; how powerful was he? It was unimaginable. The Mighty God Race had dominated the entire Heaven Domain back then; this being’s battle strength had possibly reached Thearch-Ranked when it had been alive.

I cannot give up; so what if it was a Thearch-Ranked martial artist? He had died thirty thousand years ago; he has only a wisp of a remnant soul left!

A thought surfaced in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit as he immediately focused his concentration on the Fire Dragon Sword as he started to call out to that mysterious elder’s remnant soul. Unfortunately, after calling out tens of times, the Fire Dragon Sword still did not respond.

That’s right, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast!

Jiang Yi suddenly recalled that during the battle in the Black Snow Sea—when that Netherworld King had wanted to demonize him, it had been repulsed by the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. He hurriedly focused his thoughts into his Fire Spirit Pearl as he shouted: “Little Ferocious, come and help me! Hurry!”

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast was actually sleeping soundly within the Prairie Flames in the Fire Spirit Pearl. Hearing Jiang Yi’s cry, it immediately transformed into a shooting star and flew out, flying into Jiang Yi’s soul spirit.

Creak-creak!

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast became a small beast as it appeared within Jiang Yi’s soul spirit consciousness. It cried out loudly a few times and started to devour the green smoke. The mummy’s remnant soul cried out in terror swiftly: “This… is a Heaven-Swallowing Beast? This rare creature is actually still in existence? Hmph! Lad, ask the Heaven-Swallowing Beast to stop immediately. If not, I will destroy your physical body; and your soul spirit will disintegrate!”

“Do it, then!”

Jiang Yi sent a thought back to the mummy: “Only I can cultivate the Mighty God Technique in the entire world; if you destroy my body, the Mighty God Race would be finished forever. I can cultivate the Mighty God Technique; that actually makes me your Mighty God Race’s successor. You want to take over my body? Fat chance! Even if I self-implode, I will not allow you to get my physical body.”

“You…”

The green light grew angry and upset. Its tone, however, became much nicer instantly. “Lad, don’t play with fire. If you surrender your body to me, I can help you to rule this world and become the Heavenly Thearch of the ten thousand domains. I will also take care of your loved ones. I will guarantee that your clan will be prosperous for ten thousand generations, that your enemies will be exterminated by my hand! What else do you want?”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi rebutted: “In that case, die in peace. I will help the Mighty God Race to regain its former glory; I will also become the Heavenly Thearch of the ten thousand domains. Do you have any last wishes or enemies? I can help you to fulfill them or kill your enemies.”

Creak-creak!

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast’s devouring speed was very fast; that green light became very agitated. It roared: “Lad, since you don’t know what is good for you, let’s destroy one another, then.”

Swish! Swish!

Countless shooting stars shot out from that ball of green smoke as its attacks grew much more ferocious. The Xiaozhuan characters instantly dimmed from that barrage of attacks.

Jiang Yi saw that things were not going well as he circulated the heavenly powers within his divine core. He laughed crazily and said, “Let’s destroy each other and die together, then. Who’s scared of who? You want to take over my body? Over my dead body! Once I destroy my body, your Mighty God Race will be utterly done for.”

Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers circulated faster and faster as a tremendous aura emanated from him; he was on the verge of self-implosion. The Mighty God Race’s formidable martial artist grew afraid immediately. Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers were immense; if he self-imploded, its remnant soul would be destroyed as well.

“Lad, stop!”

The green light stopped its attacks as that Mighty God Race formidable martial artist shouted: “How about this? You let my remnant soul stay within your soul spirit, and we co-exist together. Once I find a more suitable physical body, I will go and take it over?”

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi halted his actions as he hesitated. He sent a voice transmission: “You guarantee you won’t try to take over my physical body?”

“Of course not!”

The remnant soul said very firmly as it sent a voice transmission: “I am the East Thearch of the Mighty God Race; my word is as good as gold. I naturally will not lie to a kid. Hurry up and ask your Heaven-Swallowing Beast to stop; if it continues, do not blame me for being harsh.”

“That’s right…”

Jiang Yi seemingly thought of something as he replied, “Senior, I do not wish to hide this from you anymore; one of my clansmen can also cultivate the Mighty God Race’s techniques. His physical body is quite strong as well. How about I give you his body?”

“Really?”

The mysterious elder was instantly overjoyed. He then found that the Heaven-Swallowing Beast had not stopped its devouring as he then grew angry and shouted: “Lad, hurry up and ask your Heaven-Swallowing Beast to stop. If not, I will destroy both your soul spirit and physical body; you will die a horrible death.”

“Alright, alright, alright! Senior, don’t be reckless!”

Jiang Yi’s flustered voice rang out. He locked onto the Heaven-Swallowing Beast as he shouted: “Little Ferocious, swallow this idiot! He actually wants to take over my body! Go and die!”

Buzz!

Jiang Yi circulated all his Xiaozhuan characters as he struck them at that green light. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast immediately shone and shot within that green light, attacking and devouring the remnant soul’s core.

That Mighty God Race formidable martial artist’s remnant soul was enraged as it howled: “Lad, you dare to trick me? I will destroy you…”
