All these changes took place in the blink of an eye.
Sensing the anomaly from outside, Ye Chen swiftly exited the state of digesting Heavenly Saint Moya's experience and looked outside.
When Ye Chen saw the two newly emerged True Soul Flames transform back into "Heavenly Saint Moya," and one of the flames was even shooting towards Xue Yue in the sky, disbelief completely took over Ye Chen's heart!
The "Heavenly Saint Moya" he had just killed was still not completely dead, still alive?!
"Soul Fragmentation, there actually exists Soul Fragmentation!"
"Ye Chen, it seems we have underestimated this 'Moya'! Heavenly Saints indeed have many contingencies, which makes them very difficult to kill completely."
"It's a pity Zhu Er and I cannot leave the Azure Blue Mansion, we can only help you by lending the treasure of the mansion. After this 'Moya' has suffered the loss of a Soul Fragment, he will probably steer clear of the treasures capable of killing him, and it will be very difficult to eliminate his other Soul Fragments!"
At this moment, the voice of Phoenix Spirit entered Ye Chen's mind.
Soul Fragmentation?
Although Ye Chen did not know what it was, from the name alone, he knew it likely involved secrets of the Heavenly Saint level that he had yet to come in contact with.
In the brief moment Ye Chen and Phoenix Spirit communicated, the True Soul Flame aiming for Xue Yue had already completely entered Xue Yue's mind.
Xue Yue was but a cultivator in the later stages of the Spirit Sea, without any Divine Soul-class Sacred Artifacts or secret treasures. How could his Divine Soul withstand the possession of "Heavenly Saint Moya"!
In an instant, Xue Yue was successfully possessed!
Even Xue Yue, a disciple of the Demon Sects, could not struggle and was thoroughly obliterated in soul and spirit, completely dead.
Xue Yue, harboring countless schemes, would have never imagined dying at the hands of his Demon Sects' senior, being possessed by him, and meeting such an end in the ancient tomb.
Bang!
In the sky, as soon as the possession was complete, "Xue Yue's" body abruptly opened its eyes, and then, the roaring voice of "Heavenly Saint Moya" rang out: "Indeed, he is a disciple of my Demon Sects. This body, though not as good as that little brat's, is not bad either; the cultivation foundation has been well laid!"
While speaking, "Heavenly Saint Moya" started to control this new body, beginning to sense this new physical vessel.
Watching Heavenly Saint Moya's movements, a chill ran through Ye Chen's heart.
"Heavenly Saint Moya" had actually managed to possess a new body with this Soul Fragmentation?!
The True Soul of a Heavenly Saint can indeed possess and completely control another body!
Ye Chen felt a cold dread at this moment. Without the help of Phoenix Spirit, it is very likely that the new body Heavenly Saint Moya was sensing now would not be Xue Yue's, but his own!
The methods of a Heavenly Saint are indeed far beyond his current reach!
Disciples of the Demon Sects?
Hearing "Heavenly Saint Moya's" words and seeing his actions, Ye Chen was even more shocked. Was this Xue Yue actually a person of the Demon Sects?
Among these Tomb Explorers, there was actually a disciple of the Demon Sects hidden!
No wonder "Heavenly Saint Moya" had killed all the others but left this "Xue Yue" for last!
Now, with Xue Yue dead, it was not the time to dwell on his identity as a member of the Demon Sects. Seeing that Moya had successfully possessed a body, Ye Chen immediately released the power of the Heavenly Saint within him, breaking free of the restraint and attacking Heavenly Saint Moya.
Previously, Ye Chen had willingly remained restrained to lure Heavenly Saint Moya's True Soul into his mind. But now, Ye Chen naturally had to use all his strength to kill the possessively successful Heavenly Saint Moya and his other Soul Fragment Flame.
As Ye Chen attacked, the five lotus leaves that had previously protected his Divine Soul also flew out, circling around various parts of his body.
With the protection of the Tianga Primal Leaf, Ye Chen was no longer afraid of Heavenly Saint Moya's most formidable True Soul Flame, and after Moya's successful possession, his physical and True Qi strength were absolutely unable to recover to the Heavenly Saint level so quickly. Ye Chen also had the Heavenly Saint Law Bead, so of course, there was even less reason to fear!
While attacking Heavenly Saint Moya, Ye Chen also brandished his sword light, which flashed in the void, aiming to sever the restraints on the little golden monkey and Liu Yan and free them.
After Xue Yue's possession, there were truly few Tomb Explorers remaining, apart from Ye Chen and the little monkey, as well as Jiang Yao inside the Azure Blue Mansion, only Liu Yan remained!
At this moment, Heavenly Saint Moya had already reached the side of the bronze giant coffin!
Furthermore, the third cluster of True Soul Flame on the bronze giant coffin directly began merging into Heavenly Saint Moya's new body.
While Ye Chen was anxious to save the little monkey, Heavenly Saint Moya took the opportunity to start merging with another Soul Fragmentation!
In an instant, the cluster of Soul Fragmentation merged into Heavenly Saint Moya's new body.
Having successfully possessed a body, Heavenly Saint Moya certainly wouldn't separate his Soul Fragmentation again; he definitely intended to consolidate the most powerful Divine Soul.
Originally, if the possession of Ye Chen had been successful without any mishap, by merging the three Soul Fragmentations, he would have been able to regain his fullest state as a Heavenly Saint True Soul; unexpectedly, there was a complication.
However, even merging just two Soul Fragmentations was acceptable to Heavenly Saint Moya.
Seeing another cluster of True Soul Flame enter into the new body, and Heavenly Saint Moya reaching directly towards the bronze giant coffin, Ye Chen inwardly cursed in dismay.
From the True Soul Flame of Heavenly Saint Moya he had previously absorbed, Ye Chen knew that the bronze giant coffin contained almost all of Heavenly Saint Moya's important treasures!
From Heavenly Saint Moya's actions, it was clear that he intended to take the treasures!
Ye Chen certainly did not want to allow Heavenly Saint Moya to successfully obtain the treasures!
Earlier, he had been busy saving the little monkey and had lost a chance; now, he must stop the treasures from being collected by Heavenly Saint Moya before it was too late!
"Little monkey, go into the Heaven Spirit Ring, leave the rest to me!"
Ye Chen didn't want the little monkey to take any more risks.
This Heavenly Saint Moya, in his relentless attacks, had killed Fairy Nishang, killed Yun Luo, killed countless Tomb Explorers, and now had even killed Liu Yan, the only one left!
In the field, apart from Ye Chen, all the other Tomb Explorers had died.
Ye Chen had never imagined that this would be the outcome for those who entered the ancient tomb for adventure; of course, he was even less inclined to let this successfully possessed Heavenly Saint Moya go. Should he escape, with his bloody methods, countless more would die by his hand!
The little monkey looked at Ye Chen's expression; the clever creature knew that it could no longer be of any help to Ye Chen at this moment and, with a soft squeak, it directly flew into the Heaven Spirit Ring.
In the sky, only Ye Chen and Heavenly Saint Moya remained!
Whoosh!
An intense aura erupted from Ye Chen, and with the massive power of the Heavenly Saint bolstering him, he rapidly charged towards Heavenly Saint Moya at the side of the bronze giant coffin.
Hearing the fierce wind behind him, Heavenly Saint Moya's heart skipped a beat.
He no longer dared to confront Ye Chen head-on!
The five lotus leaves outside Ye Chen's body could completely suppress his Divine Soul, and his new body, being only of the Spirit Sea realm, provided little benefit to him.
If he really clashed with Ye Chen now, he would not come out on top!
"Hmph."
"Boy, Ye Chen, I will avenge the destruction of my Soul Fragmentation!"
"This time, I'll spare your life!"
In the flicker of his gaze, Heavenly Saint Moya had already grasped the bronze giant coffin.
Upon his touch, the bronze giant coffin rapidly shrank and shot towards his hand.
Just as the bronze giant coffin was about to enter Heavenly Saint Moya's palm, a streak of crimson sword light suddenly slashed towards the hand that Heavenly Saint Moya had stretched towards the coffin.
Crimson Fire Flying Sword!
This was notably the Crimson Fire Flying Sword infused with the power of the Heavenly Saint, intent on stopping Heavenly Saint Moya from seizing the treasures!
