4: Beat Xiao Jiji

"Old Scoundrel, I'm fighting you to the death!"

Yang Lingchen desperately urged his Soul, beginning a frenzied counterattack.

Now at the critical juncture between life and death, if he didn't fight back, his Soul would be completely devoured by the other party.

"Stinky brat! Trying to resist before This God is utterly laughable."

The phantom shadow let out a sinister laugh, then redoubled its devouring efforts, consuming Yang Lingchen's Soul even more ferociously.

"Old Scoundrel, your Soul is clearly on the verge of dissipating, yet you still want to devour me? You must be dreaming!"

Yang Lingchen roared angrily. He did not resign himself to fate and continued to counterattack relentlessly.

Through the continuous devouring and resistance, Yang Lingchen gradually realized the opponent wasn't as powerful as he had imagined, which further strengthened his resolve and confidence to fight back.

"Stinky brat! Cease your futile struggle. Even if This God's Soul is nearing dissipation, it is not something you can resist.

"Just offer your Soul to This God, and in the future, you shall become the Dominator of this continent. Everything in this world will be under your control."

The phantom shadow began attempting to tempt Yang Lingchen.

"Old Scoundrel, tricks meant to fool a three-year-old child? Trying to hoodwink me? I think you're seriously ill!"

Yang Lingchen remained unmoved, desperately urging his Soul. Within his Sea of Consciousness, he fled while simultaneously launching counterattacks.

"Dragging on like this is no solution. This God's Soul has eroded over a million years and is now on the brink of dissipation. If this stalemate continues, This God might truly capsize in a ditch."

That phantom shadow's heart began to grow anxious.

As time passed, the phantom shadow's Soul gradually grew weaker and weaker.

Originally, he thought he could easily subdue Yang Lingchen. However, once they truly clashed, he realized his own Soul was already on the verge of collapse.

But once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Now, even if he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.

From the moment he entered Yang Lingchen's Sea of Consciousness, this became a life-or-death duel where one must perish. Either he succeeds in the Possession, or he vanishes completely from this world.

Under the phantom shadow's frenzied devouring, Yang Lingchen also suffered immense consumption, his Physical Body becoming equally weak.

After all, the opponent was a top-tier expert from a million years ago. Although his Soul was nearly dissipated, he wasn't someone the current Yang Lingchen could easily handle. Being able to hold on for this long was already a miracle for him.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen truly felt profound despair.

Because he felt he could barely hold on any longer. If the other party continued devouring him like this, his Transmigration journey would end right here, receiving his boxed lunch early.

"Heh... heh... heh...!"

"Kid, rest assured and go! From now on, your body belongs to This God."

A sinister smile curled at the corner of the phantom shadow's mouth as it swiftly pounced towards Yang Lingchen's Soul.

This time, he intended to completely devour Yang Lingchen's Soul in one fell swoop, thereby completing the Possession.

"Screw your mother! If I die, you die with me!"

A resolute, fierce light shone in Yang Lingchen's eyes. This time, he no longer chose to flee but charged directly at his opponent.

However, how could he possibly be a match for the phantom shadow in his current state?

In less than a moment, a large portion of Yang Lingchen's Soul had been devoured.

Just as Yang Lingchen was about to succumb, another Soul suddenly surged forth from the depths of his being, swiftly merging with him.

This suddenly emerging Soul was precisely the original owner of Yang Lingchen's current Physical Body.

When the two Souls merged into one, Yang Lingchen instantly reversed the entire situation.

"Wh...What! How do you have two Souls?" the phantom shadow emitted a voice filled with extreme terror.

"Die, old man!"

Yang Lingchen frantically began devouring that phantom shadow.

"Young man, two Souls against one? That's not playing by the rules of martial virtue!" The phantom shadow had now become extremely weak, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

"Old Scoundrel, now you talk about martial virtue? What were you doing earlier? Did you show respect for the younger earlier?"

Yang Lingchen didn't pause for a second, still frantically devouring the phantom shadow's Soul.

Because he deeply understood the terror of this phantom shadow. If he let it catch its breath, it might attempt Possession on him again.

"I am unwilling!"

The phantom shadow let out a roar of despair. Soon, everything returned to calm.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was utterly shocked. He gasped for breath with difficulty, struggling to digest the memories that had suddenly flooded his mind.

It turned out this phantom shadow was named Ling Juechen, a top-tier Great Master of both the Alchemy Dao and the Formation Dao in the Divine Realm a million years ago.

Because he accidentally obtained the ancient Divine Artifact, the Vast Heaven Jade, he was hunted down by the entire Divine Realm.

In the end, overwhelmed by numbers, his Physical Body was destroyed. His Soul seized the chance to hide within the space of the Vast Heaven Jade.

Yang Lingchen carefully sorted through the memories in his mind.

Right then, from Ling Juechen's memories, he found an incredibly profound Cultivation Technique Secret Manual.

"Vast Heaven Art."

Based on Ling Juechen's memories, Yang Lingchen knew this was a top-tier Cultivation Technique from the Divine Realm, with a Cultivation speed hundreds of times faster than ordinary techniques.

Without a moment's hesitation, Yang Lingchen immediately sat cross-legged and began Cultivating according to the Vast Heaven Art's mnemonic.

Instantly, endless Spiritual Qi converged towards Yang Lingchen like an unceasing tide.

"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

"Gathering Origin Realm seventh layer."

"Gathering Origin Realm eighth layer."

He didn't know how much time had passed. Yang Lingchen's cultivation level continuously broke through until it reached the Peak of the Gathering Origin Realm ninth layer before gradually coming to a stop.

Yang Lingchen's face was filled with astonishment. He never imagined that just Cultivating casually for a while would allow him to Breakthrough to the Peak of the Gathering Origin Realm ninth layer.

One must know, in the fifteen years prior, he was famously known as the trash of Hanyang City!

And now, in just a single day, he had broken through from the Gathering Origin Realm third layer to the Gathering Origin Realm ninth layer. To him, this was nothing short of a miracle!

The cultivation Realms of this world are divided into: Juyuan, Mingxuan, Tongxuan, Wenxu, Ruxuan, Guixuan, Lingxuan, Linghai, Wangzhe, Huangzhe.

[Don't worry about memorizing the Realms. When certain Realms are reached, I will mark out the subsequent ones.]

And each Realm is further divided into first to ninth layers.

"Brother, rest assured and go. From now on, I am you, and you are me. I will definitely avenge you."

Through the memories, Yang Lingchen knew the previous owner was killed by two masked individuals.

Although the murderer's face was covered, the look in their eyes felt incredibly familiar to Yang Lingchen. If he ever saw that person again, he was absolutely confident he could recognize them.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen activated the Vast Heaven Jade. His figure flashed, and he reappeared inside that mountain cave, while the Vast Heaven Jade submerged into his body.
