72: The third-level monster's demon pill

Soul-Seizing Ash Python:

Rank: Third-Tier Yao Beast

Attribute: Mental

Talents: Soul-Seizing, Soul-Destroying

Introduction: The Soul-Seizing Ash Python combines a powerful Physical Body, deadly venom, and terrifying Mental Energy attacks, symbolizing lurking death, threats to the Soul, and the test of overcoming mental fear.

Its Mental Body can detach from its main body and reside in the Sea of Consciousness of Cultivators and Yao Beasts.

Current Status: Mental Body parasitic (possessing Lin Yongrong's Physical Body)

Weakness Annotation:

1. If the host's Physical Body collapses, the Soul Body will rapidly weaken until it finds a new host.

2. It cannot maintain high-intensity Yao Power output and Mental Energy attacks for extended periods.

...

The Attribute Panel provided a very detailed introduction, especially highlighting the weaknesses of this Yao Beast.

Presumably, Soul-Seizing is the innate secret art used to parasitize Lin Yongrong.

And Soul-Destroying was the Mental Energy attack used on him last time.

Lin Yongmao also became more cautious. The Yao Beast before him was a third-tier Yao Beast, and an extremely rare mental-type third-tier Yao Beast at that.

Fortunately, this third-tier Yao Beast was currently in a Mental Body state and could not unleash its full power.

Otherwise, even with the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, he would not have escaped the fate of being killed.

Lin Yongrong's Physical Body had already collapsed, and his vitality was rapidly draining away.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python's most urgent task now was to find a new host body.

Its innate secret art, Soul-Seizing, could only be used three times. The first time was used on Lin Yongrong, but that fellow was useless.

For the second time, it set its sights on the young Cultivator who had been hiding inside the Formation.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python had seen Lin Yongmao in the Lin family's main hall before, so it naturally knew that Lin Yongmao was only a small Cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level, and possessing his body should not be difficult.

As long as the Possession was successful, the secrets belonging to this immortal cultivator would surely not be kept, and all the Opportunities belonging to him would then be its own.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python had already planned it out. Since it decided to abandon Lin Yongrong's body, it naturally had to find a better one.

Lin Yongmao controlled the Formation Plate of the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, and the faint purple light barrier contracted, trapping the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Mental Body.

Compared to facing a third-tier Yao Beast directly, a third-tier Yao Beast's Mental Body was relatively less terrifying.

As long as he continuously cast the Breath Concealment Art, hiding his aura as much as possible, he would not give the Soul-Seizing Ash Python an Opportunity to launch a Mental Energy attack.

...

Lin Yumo, outside Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, heard the sounds of fighting from within.

However, he did not dare to rashly break into the Formation and could only try his best to kill ordinary Yao Beasts approaching the Formation.

But this was enough; at least it could relieve some of Lin Yongmao's pressure.

Lin Yumo silently prayed in his heart, "Yongmao, I hope you can be safe."

...

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python had already left Lin Yongrong's body, and Lin Yongrong regained self-awareness.

The pain from all over his body almost made him faint. His body was completely ruined.

After continuously casting the Blood Soul Guide several times, his body was already overwhelmed.

Because the Blood Soul Art did not emphasize Foundation, it simply overdrawn his life Origin and potential.

Therefore, even though Lin Yongrong had already established his Foundation, his physical quality was not as good as that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Under the control of the Soul-Seizing Ash Python, his life Origin was overdrawn even more, and now his body was completely broken down.

Unless there were Medicinal Pills that could bring the dead back to life, even a Divine Doctor would find it difficult to heal his injuries.

“Cough cough cough cough cough…”

Lin Yongrong coughed up blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were dim.

In his eyes, there was more unwillingness.

He had clearly tried so hard, but he was always inferior to Lin Yongmao in every way.

Why did he still end up dying at his hands?

Lin Yongrong's body fell to the ground with a thud, like a worn-out sack.

A grayish-brown Yao Core in his Dantian gradually solidified, devouring all the remaining vitality and energy in Lin Yongrong's body, and then flew out of his body.

The Yao Core flew towards the direction of the Mental Body.

This was controlled by the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Mental Body.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python knew that it could not break the Formation with just its Mental Body, so it summoned its own Yao Core from Lin Yongrong's Dantian.

Lin Yongrong had lost his value, so it chose to abandon him directly.

Lin Yongmao saw the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's intention and naturally would not let it have its way.

He quickly manipulated the Formation Plate of the Grass and Trees are All Soldiers Formation, continuously injecting Spiritual Qi into the Thousand-Year Purple Jade Fruit Tree.

The Thousand-Year Purple Jade Fruit Tree emitted a purple halo, and the halo continuously strengthened the Formation's enemy-trapping function.

Layers of purple energy shields trapped the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Mental Body and Yao Core.

As long as the two did not converge, the Soul-Seizing Ash Python would not be able to unleash its full power.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python had long harbored thoughts of retreat.

Within this Formation, it knew it had no chance whatsoever.

It couldn't even find the person who set up the Formation, so how could it attack?

As for breaking the Formation, in its current Mental Body state, it was impossible to break it by brute force.

It pinned its hopes on the Yao Core, but this Yao Core was also trapped.

Lin Yongmao was also very helpless. He currently had no means to kill the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Mental Body because he had not mastered any Mental Energy attack methods.

His strongest killing move was the Sword Soul Grass's leaf Flying Sword, but the leaf Flying Sword currently could not obliterate the Divine Soul.

Then he could only start with the Yao Core, cutting off the Soul-Seizing Ash Python's retreat.

The Soul-Seizing Ash Python's Yao Core contained a portion of the Yao Beast's autonomous consciousness and was inextricably linked to the Mental Body.

The Formation of a Yao Core was not easy; only third-tier Yao Beasts had the Opportunity to condense a Yao Core, which was the same principle as Golden Core Stage Cultivators forming a Core.

The Yao Core contained most of the Yao Beast's Origin power.

If the Yao Power within the Yao Beast could be mobilized, the third-tier Yao Beast's sustained combat ability would be greatly enhanced.

The grayish-brown Yao Core in front of him was only the size of a fingernail, but it also contained astonishing power. This was a rare mental-attribute third-tier Yao Core.

Lin Yongmao remembered that the World Tree Sapling had previously transmitted an awareness to him, wanting to absorb the Yao Soul and Yao Core of a third-tier Yao Beast.

The Yao Soul could not be destroyed yet, but the Yao Core was right in front of him!

The Hundred-Year Hemostatic Vine's tendrils continuously extended, binding the Yao Core and dragging it before Lin Yongmao's eyes.

Lin Yongmao tightly grasped the Yao Core, and powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations emanated from his palm, attempting to obliterate the violent aura on it.

The Yao Core still had some autonomous consciousness, but under Lin Yongmao's control, it did not successfully escape.

Lin Yongmao's Divine Sense left his body, and after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Yao Core completely calmed down, becoming completely solid, and its energy form also stabilized.

Lin Yongmao toyed with this Yao Core. If he absorbed it directly, he might have a chance to reach the Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection Realm in a short period.

However, to resolve this crisis, he directly buried this Yao Core beneath the World Tree Sapling.

A strange phenomenon suddenly occurred!

The World Tree communicated with heaven and earth, and its method of absorbing energy was also extremely overbearing.
