#120 - Chapter 120: Remnant Soul

Another three thousand years passed. With the support of cultivation resources from the entire Northern Desert and the opportunities gained from several secret realms, you cultivated to the tenth level of Void Return. Your reputation as the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor not only resonated throughout the Northern Desert's demon realm, but the entire Great River cultivation world also began to know of your existence!

Tenth level of Void Return, a quasi-Dao Integration mighty figure! This was a top-tier figure even in the entire Great River cultivation world!

At the same time, another three thousand years of life as the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor caused you to lose all memories of Lin Changqing. You vaguely remembered only the three words 'Lin Changqing,' but all other related things were forgotten.

Lin Changqing was from Earth in his previous life and a human cultivator in this life. Killing Qiu Yue, taking first place in the Central Province Competition—you forgot all these memories. At this moment, you were completely immersed in your identity as the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor.

Another three hundred years passed, and you began to strive for Dao Integration. You accidentally learned that the Dragon Immortal Secret Realm was opening, and it seemed there was an opportunity to achieve Dao Integration within. To seize this opportunity, you prepared to refine a supreme-grade Dao artifact of your own. You gathered many rare materials and prepared to forge a blade, which you named the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade.

The forging started smoothly. Under your refinement, the blade quickly became a low-grade Dao artifact. By the forty-eighth day, it had become a high-grade Dao artifact. With just one more day, you were confident in refining it into a supreme-grade Dao artifact.

The forty-ninth day arrived, and the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade was about to become a supreme-grade Dao artifact.

And it was at this moment, just as you were about to successfully refine the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade, that several mysterious figures descended and surrounded you. These mysterious figures, from an unknown origin, ultimately killed you!

In the final moment of death, you completely forgot the name Lin Changqing. You fully embraced your identity as the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor. Filled with immense unwillingness and resentment, you yearned for rebirth. You wanted revenge. You, as the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor, were ambushed and killed by mysterious figures, and you wanted to be reborn to avenge yourself and kill them!

"Please, revive Great Sky Wolf Emperor."

"Please, revive Great Sky Wolf Emperor!"

Bearing this unwillingness, you heard countless voices calling for your revival. These voices seemed to come from your former demon kingdom subordinates. You opened your eyes and saw a sky filled with black mist spreading before you. You saw a towering black cliff standing before you, and countless blood wolves in the Nascent Soul and Transformation God realms were roaring loudly in front of the black cliff. They were shouting for your revival, seemingly welcoming your return. At the very top of the black cliff, there was a throne with a Sky Wolf pattern carved on it.

You walked step by step towards the top of the black cliff. You had a feeling that as long as you sat on the Sky Wolf Throne at the top of the cliff, you, the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor, could be revived!

Gradually, you got closer and closer to the Sky Wolf Throne. The wolf subordinates around you became more and more excited, seemingly thrilled by the revival and return of their Demon Emperor. When you were three steps away from the Sky Wolf Throne, you stopped.

At this moment, two options appeared in your mind: Option A: You are not the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor. Do not sit on the throne. Once you sit there, you will no longer be yourself.

Option B: You are the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor. Sit on the throne.

"So, it's a body snatching..." Looking at the updated text on the panel, Lin Changqing sneered. He finally understood what was happening.

He had heard of a method of body snatching where the body snatcher creates an illusion, allowing the target to experience the body snatcher's life in the illusion.

After such an experience, the target's original memories are forgotten, and they slowly believe that they are the body snatcher.

After such an illusion, the complete loss of the target's own memory marks the success of the body snatching.

Looking at the textual experience on the panel now, the simulated self was clearly being body snatched!

He experienced the life of the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor, and his original memories were being erased.

So, who was the one trying to body snatch him?

It goes without saying, it was the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor!

"So, the black mist was all your doing. What a pity, a pity that you schemed so meticulously, yet didn't expect that I was simulating!"

Lin Changqing sneered. Now it seemed that all of this was the work of that Sky Wolf Demon Emperor, who wanted to seize his body.

The problem lay with the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade on his back. The Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade was a high-grade Dao artifact refined by the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor before his death.

Perhaps a wisp of the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor's remnant soul was hidden within the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade.

It was possible that Lin Changqing had killed too many people with the Seven Kill Blade during this period, causing the remnant soul of the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor within the Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade to revive, and then the attempt to seize his body began.

Then, Lin Changqing unhesitatingly chose Option A.

If it weren't for the simulation, he might have really fallen for the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor's trick.

After all, the simulated self at this moment was completely lost.

But alas, this was a simulation.

He, outside the panel, was not affected by the illusion and could make a clear choice.

On the other hand, Lin Changqing was also very scared.

The methods of such Void Return mighty figures were indeed powerful. Even after dying for millions of years, the revival of a wisp of remnant soul could unknowingly lead him astray.

Just imagine, if this were not a simulation, it was very likely that he would have been body snatched by that Sky Wolf Demon Emperor!

【You chose Option A...】

"The Sky Wolf Demon Emperor wants to seize my body? Get out of here!"

Lin Changqing sneered as he looked at the Sky Wolf Throne in front of him. He drew the cyan sword from his waist and slashed directly, smashing the Sky Wolf Throne into pieces with a bang!

【Just as the Sky Wolf Throne was smashed to pieces by your sword, everything in the surrounding environment was shattering. It seemed that your shattering of the Sky Wolf Throne also marked your breaking of the illusion cast by the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor.】

【You saw the black cliff shattering, you saw the surrounding Nascent Soul and Transformation God blood wolves shattering. There was unwillingness in the eyes of those blood wolves, an unwillingness towards the failure of their Demon Emperor's revival. In the blink of an eye, the illusory world you were in shattered.】

【Then everything returned to normal. You reappeared in the passage. There was no black mist in the passage, only a blood-colored blade floating in front of you. The Sky Wolf Seven Kill Blade floated in front of you. Above the blade, there was a phantom wearing an imperial robe. It was an imposing man with the head of a wolf. At this moment, he looked at you with surprise and unwillingness. He seemed surprised that you were able to awaken from the illusion, and he was unwilling to accept his failure to seize your body.】

"How is it possible? How could a mere Core Formation cultivator resist my illusion? This is impossible!"

The Sky Wolf Demon Emperor's face was filled with shock. What kind of person was he?

The Sky Wolf Demon Emperor who unified countless demon kingdoms in the Northern Desert, a Void Return tenth level mighty figure just one step away from Dao Integration. His reputation resonated throughout the entire Great River cultivation world.

Even if he was just a wisp of remnant soul, a Core Formation cultivator should not be able to resist the illusion and body snatching.

But now, looking at the cyan figure in front of him, the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor had to admit that his attempt to seize the body had failed!

"Sky Wolf Demon Emperor, you are truly courting death, daring to seize this seat's body?"

"It seems you are tired of living!" Lin Changqing said coldly, and then slashed with his sword, directly targeting the Sky Wolf Demon Emperor's remnant soul!
