148: Chapter 148 The true colors are revealed; you've never seen anything like this before!

Xuantian Old Ancestor heard these words, and his heart was filled with wild joy!

He took the bait!

He had been afraid that Su Changge would ask nothing and care about nothing.

As long as he had questions, as long as he had desires, then it would be easy to handle!

"Hehe, Little Friend, you are overthinking it."

Xuantian Old Ancestor revealed a "kind and amiable" smile on his face.

"This old man is merely a remnant Soul; my energy has long since been depleted."

"After the Fusion, naturally, your consciousness, Little Friend, will remain in control."

"This old man's meager memories and insights will only serve as your assistance, helping you reach even higher Peaks; there will absolutely be no hindrance."

He spoke with such sincerity that he might as well have sworn to the heavens.

Su Changge gave an "Oh" and nodded.

"That sounds pretty good."

He seemed to have dropped all his defenses, and his whole body relaxed.

Seeing this, a trace of imperceptible ferocity flashed in Xuantian Old Ancestor's eyes.

The opportunity had arrived!

Now is the time!

"Little Friend is right! Where else could you find such a good thing?"

"Come, to show my sincerity, this old man shall first gift a portion of the Legacy insights to you for your appreciation!"

Before the words had even faded, his kind and benevolent face instantly twisted, becoming ugly and crazed.

"Jie jie jie jie!"

"Your body is now this old man's!"

That illusory body suddenly exploded, transforming into a streak of the purest dark blue light.

Carrying an Aura of world-destroying power, like a bolt of lightning piercing through the darkness, it charged straight at Su Changge's forehead!

Everything happened too fast!

It was so fast that even the Old Yellow Ox following behind Su Changge only had time to snort!

Outside the palace doors, Mo Wentian and Lin Gujian were waiting anxiously.

"Senior Brother, do you think the Senior inside will be alright?"

"That old man's voice didn't sound like a good person!"

Lin Gujian gripped his sword tightly and said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured, with the Senior's strength, the person capable of harming him in this world hasn't been born yet."

Although he said that, his eyes were still filled with worry.

Just then, the tightly shut palace doors suddenly trembled violently!

A terrifying ripple of Soul Power leaked out from the cracks in the door.

Mo Wentian and Lin Gujian felt as if their heads had been struck hard by a large hammer; they both groaned in unison, stumbled back a dozen steps, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

"Not good! It's a Soul Power attack!"

"The Senior is in danger!"

Mo Wentian exclaimed, and without thinking, he rushed up to ram the door.

"Senior! We are here to save you!"

However, it was already too late.

That streak of dark blue light was fast to the extreme.

At the same moment Mo Wentian's exclamation rang out, it had already entered Su Changge's forehead.

Su Changge's body stiffened in place.

The light in his eyes rapidly dimmed, as if he had turned into a soulless husk.

Outside the hall, Xiao Fan, Liu Ruyan, and the others, who had just been forced back, also saw this scene.

"That is... Possession!"

Xiao Fan cried out, his eyes filled with shock.

"That old monster actually wants to perform Possession on that Senior!"

"It's over... No matter how strong that Senior is, his Physical Body is strong, but having his Divine Soul attacked while caught off guard, I'm afraid..."

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.

In their eyes, Su Changge was almost synonymous with invincibility.

But now, this invincible Senior seemed to be on the verge of falling to the conspiracy of an ancient remnant Soul.

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Su Changge only felt everything go black before his eyes.

The entire world lost its color and sound.

An icy, sinister will, filled with greed and violence, slithered into his mind like a poisonous snake.

"Jie jie jie! Success! Success!"

"This perfect Dao body, from today on, belongs to me, Xuantian!"

"Once I spend a hundred years re-cultivating, I will surely return to the Peak, no! I will surpass the Peak and catch a glimpse of the True Immortal realm!"

Xuantian Old Ancestor's wild laughter echoed in Su Changge's consciousness.

He couldn't wait to take over this body and feel that surging vitality.

The first thing he wanted to do was wipe out the consciousness of the original owner of this body.

A mere Qi Refining Stage ant, worthy of possessing such a perfect vessel?

Xuantian Old Ancestor's Soul Power transformed into an invisible giant hand, reaching out to fiercely grab at Su Changge's weak, flickering consciousness core, which was like a candle in the wind!

He seemed to have already seen the scene where the opponent's consciousness was easily crushed under his powerful Divine Soul.

However, just as his Soul Power hand was about to touch that "weak" consciousness core, a sudden change occurred!

The surrounding darkness was dispersed in an instant.

Xuantian Old Ancestor discovered that he had not appeared in the "Sea of Consciousness" he had imagined.

The so-called Sea of Consciousness is where a Cultivator stores their Soul Power.

Depending on the Cultivator's cultivation level, the size and form of the Sea of Consciousness vary.

For a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, the Sea of Consciousness is usually just a small puddle the size of a washbasin.

At the Foundation Establishment Stage, it can be a small pond.

At the Golden Core Stage, it can become a lake.

Only at the Nascent Soul Stage can it be called a "Sea".

Xuantian Old Ancestor was a powerful figure at the Mahayana Stage during his lifetime; his Sea of Consciousness was vast and boundless, comparable to a Small World.

He had performed Possession on many people and knew all kinds of Seas of Consciousness like the back of his hand.

But the scene before him completely subverted his understanding.

Here... there were no puddles, no ponds, no lakes, and certainly no oceans.

This place was a... vast and boundless Universe!

Gray Chaos Qi permeated this place.

Stars, unimaginably huge, slowly rotated around him.

Every star emitted an ancient, desolate, and terrifying Aura.

He saw, beside a sun burning with black flames, a phantom of a Three-Legged Golden Crow coiled; as its eyes opened and closed, it seemed capable of burning through eternity.

He saw, in a galaxy spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, a massive Kunpeng swimming, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky.

He also saw, in the depths of the Universe, three thousand blurred yet majestic figures.

They were sitting or lying down, some holding divine weapons, others sleeping with eyes closed.

Every single figure emitted an Aura that made his Divine Soul tremble.

It felt as if, should any one of them open their eyes and glance at him, this remnant Soul of his would immediately vanish into ashes.

Xuantian Old Ancestor's Divine Soul froze in place.

His hand, formed from Soul Power, stiffened in mid-air, unable to move.

He felt like an ant that had accidentally stumbled into a Dragon's den.

No, not even an ant.

At most, he was a speck of dust.

"This... this... this..."

He trembled, unable to even speak a complete sentence.

"What... what kind of hellish place is this?!"

"Is this... that kid's Sea of Consciousness?"

"What a joke!"

"How could a Qi Refining Stage's Sea of Consciousness look like this!"

"Even a True Immortal's Sea of Consciousness couldn't possibly be this terrifying!"

In his mind, stormy waves were raging.

He finally understood why he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation.

He also finally understood why the other party had disregarded his Mahayana Stage Cultivation Technique.

Compared to this chaotic Universe before him, his bit of Cultivation Technique Legacy was complete garbage!

Just as Xuantian Old Ancestor was sinking into endless fear and self-doubt, among those three thousand majestic figures, a few seemed to have noticed this "intruder."

Several cold, emotionless gazes fell upon him.

"Hum!"

Xuantian Old Ancestor felt as if his Divine Soul was about to be torn apart.

He let out a shrill scream, and the phantom formed by his Divine Soul became a bit dimmer.

"No! Impossible! This must be an illusion!"

"How could a mere ant from the Lower Realm possess such a terrifying Sea of Consciousness!"

"Break for me!"

He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and stirred up his last bit of Divine Soul Origin, wanting to break free from the shackles of this space.

However, all his power was like a clay ox entering the sea, not raising a single ripple.

The Laws here, the order here, completely exceeded his scope of understanding.

His pride and joy, his Mahayana Stage Divine Soul, was as fragile as a piece of paper here.

"What... exactly is this place?!"

Xuantian Old Ancestor's voice carried a crying tone.

"Who... who exactly are you?!"
