Chapter 573: Chapter 493: The End of the Floating Cloud, Capturing the Nascent Soul

BANG!

Su Ye slammed a palm strike right into Fuyunzi’s back!

Mysterious, subtle runes flickered on his arm as the miraculous power of his fifth-rank physical body surged forth. A colossal force, enough to move mountains and part seas, erupted instantly!

Fuyunzi bled from every orifice, his internal organs completely shattered!

However.

He still hadn’t died.

The life force of a Nascent Soul was incredibly resilient.

Furthermore, by condensing a Nascent Soul, all of their vital points were removed.

To a Nascent Soul, this physical body was no longer a necessity. Even if their heart was shattered or their head was severed, their Nascent Soul still possessed the power to retaliate!

CLANG!

Fuyunzi’s Divine Sense stirred, a cruel light flashing in his eyes!

The glowing-white Spirit Sword reversed course; his full-powered Evil-Slaying Sword strike aimed straight for Su Ye and lunged forward!

Moving at over ten times the speed of sound, the Evil-Slaying Sword struck Su Ye almost instantly. At that moment, Fuyunzi and Su Ye were mere inches apart!

Such a close distance meant that when the Evil-Slaying Sword hit Su Ye, Fuyunzi was inevitably caught in the blast!

But he didn’t care in the slightest!

’I don’t have any Body Refining cultivation. This body’s organs are shattered and its life force is gone. I have to find a new body, one way or another...’

’I might as well get one last use out of this ruined body!’

’Trading injury for injury!’

Cold! Decisive! Cruel!

In a hundredth of a second, Fuyunzi had figured it all out—he would trade injury for injury!

A Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator who had clawed his way up through mountains of corpses and seas of blood was just this ruthless!

As the Evil-Slaying Sword struck home, Fuyunzi didn’t even look. He slapped the top of his head, and an infant-like figure emerged—it clutched a small, glowing-white sword and its features were like a younger version of Fuyunzi himself!

—An Out-of-Body Nascent Soul!

He knew the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword better than anyone. The aura of this unfamiliar Nascent Soul seemed even weaker than that of an Early-stage Nascent Soul; he would surely have no energy left to prevent his escape!

SWOOSH!

In an instant!

Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul transformed into a streak of light and shot away!

Moving at incredible speed, it covered dozens of miles in an instant!

After trading injury for injury, he abandoned his dead body. His Nascent Soul shot out as he rapidly fled the battlefield, preparing to find someone to possess.

’Good thing I brought plenty of Golden Cores with me.’

’I’ll find a younger body to possess and be reborn in.’

Fuyunzi thought with relief.

Aside from cultivators who also practiced Body Refining, a Nascent Soul True Monarch’s entire cultivation base was concentrated in their Nascent Soul.

Even in the body of a mortal, he could maintain thirty to forty percent of his combat power. If he possessed the body of a Golden Core cultivator, recovering seventy to eighty percent of his combat power wouldn’t be difficult.

As for being reborn through possession, annihilating the original host’s consciousness, and betraying an ally...

At a time like this, he couldn’t afford to worry about such things.

After all, the situation was urgent.

Besides the Demonic Nascent Soul who had ambushed him, Yuan Lan from the Star Casting Hall was also in this space.

Even though they were currently cooperating, he put himself in the other’s shoes. If his ally’s body was destroyed and their Nascent Soul was exposed, he himself would find it hard to resist the impulse to attack.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul had already fled for hundreds of miles.

A Golden Core cultivator with a solemn expression and a silver monocle appeared before his eyes!

Zheng Yunzhe.

’Late-stage Golden Core, not bad!’

’Young friend, let me borrow your body!’

With a flash in its eyes, Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul pounced toward Zheng Yunzhe!

’An Out-of-Body Nascent Soul?’

’This is bad!’

Zheng Yunzhe looked up, his blood running cold.

Almost instantly, he realized what it intended to do!

But the Nascent Soul was simply too fast.

Worse, it carried the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, which slowed his thoughts to a crawl. Zheng Yunzhe could only watch helplessly as Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul lunged at him!

"No!"

"Mr. Zheng, go in peace... I will take good care of your friends and family for you."

Fuyunzi sent this via Divine Sense. He was a Righteous Path Nascent Soul, after all, and tried to maintain some semblance of decorum.

It was also a way to diminish the other’s will to live, making the possession easier.

A Late-stage Golden Core’s will and spiritual soul were not weak. If he resisted with all his might, it would take Fuyunzi some effort to suppress him for the possession.

But just at that moment.

RATTLE!

From the void, several Golden Flame Iron Chains suddenly materialized.

Like long serpents, they coiled tightly around Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul, rendering it immobile!

"What?"

The sudden imprisonment sent a shudder through Fuyunzi. He unleashed his Nascent Soul’s Magical Power, trying to struggle free.

But in the next moment.

HISS!

The blazing golden flames erupted, searing Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul. A pain that felt like his heart was being gouged out and his bones were being drilled shot straight to his spiritual soul, twisting his expression into a ferocious grimace!

A few seconds later.

CLANG!

Fuyunzi endured the intense pain as a glowing-white sword light flickered!

He swiftly severed the Golden Flame Iron Chains on his body, attempting to continue the possession!

But that brief delay was all that was needed.

A pitch-blackness surged within the void. A hand swirling with black and white light emerged from a spectral passage and snatched Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul!

"Suppress!"

Su Ye deliberately disguised his voice, barking the word in a low, hoarse tone.

The swirling black and white light—a mixture of life force and the aura of death—formed a sturdy cage, sealing the Nascent Soul!

It was a law-based technique, used to seal an Out-of-Body Nascent Soul and restrict its flight!

However, this seal was not particularly strong.

BZZZZ!

Fuyunzi’s Nascent Soul struggled unceasingly, erupting with its own Magical Power.

This caused Su Ye’s Magical Power to drain away at an extremely rapid pace.

A drop of sweat slid down his forehead.

Su Ye was, after all, still a Golden Core cultivator, not a Nascent Soul.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch’s Magical Power had undergone a qualitative transformation, and in both quality and quantity, it was far superior to Su Ye’s.
