Chapter 1197 - The Soul Vanquishing Tribe Successor’s True Intention, Battle of Souls, the Ksitigarb

The Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol displayed with great might!

A terrifying life-death reincarnation intent immediately enveloped the entire enchanted boundary formation spell!

Chi Zhan, Zhi Lei, Zhuo Donglai, and the others resisted the attack by unleashing various attacks with their full might.

However, their attacks were nothing in the face of the Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol, which had been strengthened by the Three Great Conjurations.

The Demonic Chiyou Apparition was destroyed!

The life-death reincarnation energy disintegrated the violent lightning bolt!

The Divine Primordial Divine Light also crumbled the moment it was hit!

The same thing could be said for the remaining sky-prides and Heavenly Champions. None of them were strong enough to resist the life-death reincarnation energy.

After that single attack, most of the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions were dead!

The ones who survived were heavily injured!

Only one person stood proudly amidst the smoke and dust, looking down on everyone present. Immortal Sparks were radiating around him as if a supreme Immortal King had descended into the world!

Buzz!

At that moment, something strange happened!

The countless eyes on the enchanted boundary formation spell suddenly merged, turning into a gigantic purple demonic eye that shrouded the skies.

An incredibly powerful evil light shot out from the demonic eye, and any sky-prides caught in it were instantly frozen in place.

"Purple Ocular Demonic Light!" the Soul Vanquishing successor yelled from afar.

That giant purple eye emitted a tremendous beam of purple light that came crashing down from the skies and immediately covered Chu Kuangren within it.

A surge of immense energy that was targeted at one's soul erupted. Even Chu Kuangren felt the pressure.

"Oh, so that's your real trump card?"

Chu Kuangren looked at the Soul Vanquishing Tribe successor in the distance.

However, the latter's figure flashed and turned into a strand of black qi that charged from afar. The black qi entered the light beam, which then infiltrated Chu Kuangren's mind.

Inside Chu Kuangren's mind ocean, a strand of black qi suddenly appeared and reverted into the Soul Vanquisher successor's figure.

"Haha! I bet you didn't expect this, Chu Kuangren. My true aim is not to kill you but to make everyone fight you and exhaust your strength under the Thousand Eyes Formation. Then, I can take over your body!"

"The Heavenly Samsara Physique, the Chaos Celestial Demon Physique, and even the Green Leaf Sword Vision? I shall gladly take these three wonderful Immortal Physiques!"

The Soul Vanquishing successor was very delighted.

That was right.

He had been scheming to take control of Chu Kuangren's body for so long.

There was a secret technique from the Soul Vanquishing Tribe that could allow anyone to infiltrate another cultivator's mind by killing their opponent's Immortal Soul and taking over their body.

It was an incredibly terrifying secret technique.

However, every Soul Vanquishing Tribe cultivator could only use that technique once in their lifetime. If they failed, their soul would cease to exist.

That was why the Soul Vanquishing Tribe successor never wanted to use that technique until he met Chu Kuangren.

He was very jealous of someone who was that talented. To him, Chu Kuangren's existence was a lethal temptation.

To think that a single person would possess three wonderful Immortal Physiques.

Would anyone else in the world possess a body that could rival Chu Kuangren's?

No!

If he could succeed in taking over Chu Kuangren's body, his cultivation journey would surely be a smooth sailing one. He might even reach the pinnacle of Immortal Dao!

Therefore, the Soul Vanquishing successor had been scheming on how to take over Chu Kuangren's body ever since he met him for the first time.

He tried endlessly to test the limits of Chu Kuangren's strength, right until the point of setting up that unparalleled killer formation for him!

"Chu Kuangren, just give up and serve as my stepping stone to the pinnacle of Immortal Dao." The Soul Vanquishing successor laughed excitedly.

He looked into the depths of the mind ocean.

That was where Chu Kuangren's Immortal Soul was.

However, his face suddenly froze.

What did he just witness?

Three Immortal Souls were sitting in a triangle formation, hovering in the air with a golden glow around them, painting them in light gold color.

At that time, the three Immortal Souls were looking at him with a smirk while touching their chins.

The Soul Vanquishing successor was dumbfounded.

'What the hell is going on?'

'Three Immortal Souls?'

'Chu Kuangren has three Immortal Souls?!'

'What kind of preposterous soul cultivation technique is this?!'

He was sure that Chu Kuangen had been cultivating a soul cultivation technique and an extremely mysterious one at that.

Otherwise, why would he have three Immortal Souls?

Besides that, that golden glow seemed to be…

"The Gilded Trait!"

"Your Soul has attained the Gilded Trait! This means that your soul is close to reaching the Gilded Immortal level! How is this even possible?"

The Soul Vanquishing successor could not believe his eyes.

He would not be shocked to know that Chu Kuangren had a soul cultivation technique. However, the problem now was that Chu Kuangren's soul had gained a trace of Gilded Trait, which meant that it was incredibly close to a Gilded Immortal's level.

Even someone like him, who specialized in soul cultivation, had not even attained the Gilded Soul Trait. How did Chu Kuangren possibly achieve that?!

'Cultivation level, raw physical strength, conjurations, Honorable Supreme Immortal Physiques…'

'And now, he has a Gilded Soul Trait as well?'

'How many trump cards does he even have?'

'Does he even have any weak points?'

'How can there be such an unparalleled cultivator in this world?'

The Soul Vanquishing successor felt that his brain had turned into mush.

Increasingly more questions kept appearing one after another.

"So we meet again, vermin."

At that moment, Chu Kuangren's voice echoed in his mind ocean as if he was the mighty ruler of the space.

The Soul Vanquishing successor was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses and calmed down.

"I'm a cultivator of the Soul Vanquishing Tribe who specializes in cultivating Soul Dao. No matter how weird my opponent's soul is, I will never lose!"

"Having planned for so long, I shall not fail in my most well-versed skill! That's right. There's no way I'll ever lose!"

The Soul Vanquishing successor looked at Chu Kuangren determinedly.

He was going to take over Chu Kuangren's body no matter what.

"Chu Kuangren, although your techniques are truly extraordinary, you are no match for me when it comes to soul cultivation techniques. You are no match for the Soul Vanquishing Tribe."

After that, the Soul Vanquisher disappeared in a flash and arrived before Chu Kuangren.

With a lift of his hand, he threw out a palm attack, prompting a surge of soul energy to erupt.

"Oh."

Chu Kuangren's Heaven Soul casually threw out a palm attack in return.

His soul energy immediately burst forward.

The Soul Vanquishing successor was immediately sent flying into the depths of the mind ocean, where an ocean formed from mental energy engulfed him.

Under such power, souls beneath the True Consciousness level would surely perish.

Although the Soul Vanquishing successor's soul was very strong because he cultivated soul techniques, he was still a Heavenly Immortal. He had not reached the True Consciousness soul level that only True Immortals would possess.

Boom!

Just then, the Soul Vanquishing Tribe's successor charged out from the mind ocean.

His soul was unscathed.

A mysterious rune was swirling around his body. It was a rune especially used to defend against attacks on the soul!

"Chu Kuangren, with this Soul Protection Rune, even if you've reached the full Gilded Soul level, you can never hope to injure me."

The Soul Vanquishing successor let out a confident smile.

"So, a vermin who's been hiding from me all this while finally has the guts to appear before me because of this rune?"

"Chu Kuangren, you can say as much as you want. With this Soul Protection Rune on me, there's no way you can injure me. On the other hand, I shall slowly exhaust your soul energy and take over your body!"

Then, the Soul Vanquishing successor raised his hand. Several soul energy-formed spikes hovered around him, ready to be launched.

His eyes burned with desire.

He could envision how powerful he would become after taking control of Chu Kuangren's body. With Chu Kuangren's three Honorable Supreme Immortal Physiques, he would surely rise to the pinnacle of Immortal Dao.

"Hmph. A vermin like you wants to take over my body? What a joke."

"Killing you is only a small annoyance to me. Even the heavens can't save you from me, let alone this puny Soul Protection Rune."

Chu Kuangren gently raised his hand. In that instant, a mighty surge of soul energy emerged, followed by sounds of Brahmic Chimes in the surroundings. With that, an ancient and dignified Buddhist Statue appeared!

"Ksitigarbha Mantra!"
