”Hehe, that is the last of those annoying pests. Now there is no one left to disturb us!” The sinister voice from the soul remnant echoed out in triumph from inside Bai Huaʼs body, as the last person from the Ghost Howl Sectʼs expeditionary force fell to the ground before being consumed by the large horde of demon beasts that had formed a living wall around the altar.

Roar!𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Screech!

ROAR!

Followed by the sinister laugh from the remnant soul, the demon beasts surrounding the altar suddenly fell onto the ground before turning into a pure red qi that slowly began flowing into Bai Huaʼs body.

Forcefully raising so many normal animals without any strength to the Foundation Establishment Realm and Core Formation Realm had drained most of the remnant soulʼs power.

After having dealt with the Ghost Howl Sectʼs people, there was no longer a need to keep the demon beasts around. Absorbing the qi that it had used back to speed up the process of taking over Bai Huaʼs body was by far the best option!

This way, the remnant soul would also be able to decrease the time that it was exposed to danger by staying inside the place called the Heart of the Lake by the locals…

”Soon… soon this body will be mine and I will once again be able to walk among the living!”

With Bai Hua feeling his soul grow weaker and weaker with each passing second, the crazed laughter of the remnant soul was the only thing keeping him awake enough to fight back.

…

Only a short distance away from the place where the battle between the Ghost Howl Sectʼs expeditionary force and the demon beasts enhanced and controlled by the remnant soul that was trying to take over Bai Huaʼs body, Xuan Hao slowly appeared seemingly out of thin air.

”Looks like I found out what happened to the Ghost Howl Sect, I guess that disciple from earlier should be the only one still left alive then…” Muttering this to himself as he gazed over towards the altar located in an opening inside the dense forest, Xuan Hao clearly felt the aura he had sensed back when he had been helping his disciples save Huang Yongyu.

The only difference was that he could also sense another personʼs aura seemingly merging together with the owner of the powerful aura!

No… Merging together would not be the correct word. Devoured, consumed, absorbed, these words would be way more fitting for that personʼs current situation…

Whoosh~

Deciding to observe the situation for now instead of just recklessly charging forward and revealing himself, Xuan Hao floated up in the air before looking over towards an elderly man located on top of the altar.

Sitting down in a meditative position with closed eyes and a small stream of blood continuously flowing out from both his eyes and mouth at the same time, even a normal person would realize that the old man was at the edge of death as his body looked like it would give in at any moment.

So, a remnant soul is trying to possess his body… But why go for such an old one when there were so many younger and more suitable bodies among the people from the Ghost Howl Sect… Unless there is something special about the old manʼs body?

Realizing that he was witnessing a long dead powerhouse in the process of attempting to take over a body to revive and live again, Xuan Hao decided not to act recklessly.

Given the strength of the aura he had felt back at the Pure Heart Lake, Xuan Hao had already realized that the remnant soul had once been someone above the Domain Lord Realm when he had still been alive.

Someone like that would have all kind of tricks and hidden cards up their sleeve after living for a long time, with all of this in mind, Xuan Hao carefully began preparing to launch a sure kill technique that would hopefully kill the remnant soul before it even realized what was happening.

Ignoring the remnant soul and allow it to take over the body and go on its way?

Doing something like that would spell disaster for the Flying Sword Sect and all the sects and kingdoms located nearby.

Why?

Well…

”Hahaha, after taking over your body and devouring your pathetic soul, I will make sure to devour a few people outside to recover my cultivation realm and return to my peak!”

The crazy rambles from the remnant soul constantly echoing out from inside the elderly manʼs body seemed to answer for itself…

Could someone at the realm of the remnant soul go insane?

Xuan Hao shivered at the thought of this, if someone above the Domain Lord Realm truly ended up going insane. The damage they could bring would be unimaginable if there werenʼt anybody present to stop them in time.

Even with his current cultivation realm, Xuan Hao would still easily be able to devastate an entire kingdom within a few days. Not to mention someone above the Domain Lord Realm…

Waiting around for another five minutes as the remnant soul neared the final step of the possession, Xuan Hao chose this moment when the remnant soul would be the most focused to strike.

Cling~

A serene metallic sound could barely be heard as a sword made out of sword qi manifested through his sword domain appeared in Xuan Haoʼs hand as he slashed down towards the man sitting cross legged on the altar.

As for whether or not the person currently in the process of being possessed would survive? This was simply not something Xuan Hao thought about. Given the strength of the remnant soul, Xuan Hao could simply not afford to hold back.

Swish!

The sound of the attack was close to non-existent. The Sword Shadow was by far Xuan Haoʼs best attack when it came to being stealthy and lethal at the same time and after having reached the Domain Lord Realm, his Sword Shadow seemed to have undergone some kind of evolution as it had almost perfectly merged into the surroundings while quickly approaching the elderly man on top of the altar.

”WHO!?”

Only a few meters away from the elderly man on top of the altar, the remnant soul discovered the incoming attack and screamed loudly before interrupting the possession process and rushing out of Bai Huaʼs body to meet the attack as a sea of blood manifested behind it.

The sea of blood was terrifying beyond compare and seemed to contain an endless amount of blood and all sorts of weird and terrifying demon beast corpse could be seen floating around the sea of blood.

”Hmph, do you really think killing me will be that easy…?”

With a command from the remnant soul. The massive sea of blood directly flew forward and met Xuan Haoʼs sword attack, causing his attack to unravel before reaching its intended target.

BOOM!

Xuan Haoʼs sword attack directly exploded forth, causing the sword energy stored inside the attack fiercely swirl around at the edge of the blood sea before forming into an enormous vortex of sword energy that slowly began ripping apart the massive blood sea.

Whoosh!

Not intending to wait around for the sword vortex to fade away as he didnʼt want to waste his energy supplying it, Xuan Hao charged over towards the remnant soul with both his domains springing forth at the same time.

His sword domain forming into an endless ocean of sword before clashing with the blood ocean together with the sword vortex, while a layer of ice covered everything within a few miles of the altar as the ice domain took effect and began freezing up the blood sea at the same time.

At this point in time, the remnant soul suddenly endured three different attacks at the same time!

Crack~

Within only a short moment, the blood sea began cracking apart as it weakened significantly, to the point that the remnant soul didnʼt bother wasting any time with talking any longer.

Instead looking seriously at Xuan Hao for the first time since the attack as it waved its hand. Followed by several ancient blood red runes to manifest around the sea of blood before it began stabilizing under Xuan Haoʼs attack.

I really wish I had a good weapon…

Looking at the situation slowly begin turning in the favour of the remnant soul, Xuan Hao could not help but lament over the fact that he still didnʼt even have a weapon.

If he had a weapon that was fitting for his cultivation realm, Xuan Hao felt that he would have been able to directly end the fight with the three different attacks.

When going to the Alchemy Competition in the future, I have to find a skilled blacksmith that can make a weapon for me… Or at the very least find a good sword…

Having resolved himself to find a sword or an artifact useful for combat that had at least reached the Mystic Grade in the future, Xuan Hao focused back on the blood sea of the remnant soul that suddenly increased in strength after the blood red ancient runes had appeared.
