30: Chapter 30 Possession?! Yan Ruyu's Collapse

"What a monstrous Prodigy, I never expected you to possess the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone."

"With this sword bone, the dark devouring sword will surely submit to you!"

Huang Jiuxuan showered him with praise, hoping to steady Lin Ran.

If Lin Ran were to run away, his plan would be completely ruined. Where else could he find such a perfect Physical Body?!

Furthermore, he wasn't the least bit worried that Lin Ran wouldn't be able to draw the dark devouring sword and control it.

After all, the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone was a top-tier immortal body, containing the supreme nine heavens tribulation sword within.

As long as Lin Ran released the aura of the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, he would definitely be able to make the dark devouring sword submit!

He only needed to wait for the moment Lin Ran drew the dark devouring sword to break the Seal that the dark devouring sword had placed on him, then use that opportunity to slip into Lin Ran's Sea of Consciousness and destroy Lin Ran's Divine Soul.

In this way, Lin Ran's perfect Physical Body would be his for the taking!

He would take the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone and that charming, beautiful woman, Yan Ruyu, and ascend to the pinnacle of the world!

"Then this Junior will take your kind words, Senior, and try to control the dark devouring sword now!"

Lin Ran smiled and stepped forward, but was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder by Yan Ruyu.

"Little Ranran, are you alright? There is clearly a trap here, why must you risk yourself?"

Yan Ruyu felt anxious and secretly transmitted her voice to Lin Ran.

"Even if it is risking myself, isn't my Martial Aunt here?"

Lin Ran smiled nonchalantly.

It was just a remnant soul of a great emperor; how strong could it really be?

Even if the opponent used all their might, could they really contend with Yan Ruyu?

"That may be so, but we don't know the depths of this situation, why take the risk?"

Yan Ruyu said anxiously.

"Martial Aunt, believe in me, I have my own sense of propriety in how I act."

Lin Ran patted the back of Yan Ruyu's smooth, delicate hand, signaling for her to be at ease.

"But..."

Yan Ruyu was about to say more, but she saw Lin Ran suddenly release the aura of the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone. Instantly, Sword Qi filled the entire palace, raging and rampant, as if forcing ten thousand swords to submit.

Under the pressure of the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, the dark devouring sword could not muster the slightest desire to resist, and even proactively moved closer to Lin Ran.

"Whoosh!"

Under Yan Ruyu's stunned gaze, the dark devouring sword actually flew out of the ground on its own and rushed towards Lin Ran.

"I didn't expect it to be even simpler than I thought. Martial Aunt, look, isn't this..."

Before Lin Ran could finish his sentence, a burst of manic laughter rang out.

"Hahahaha..."

"Finally... you've taken the bait! I, Huang Jiuxuan, have finally escaped from the Seal of this broken sword!"

"To properly thank you, I will accept your Physical Body!"

As a streak of white light shot into Lin Ran's glabella at a speed invisible to the naked eye, Lin Ran's eyes instantly turned vacant and lifeless.

The distance was too close, and combined with such speed, it was so fast that even Yan Ruyu couldn't react in time.

After all, it was a remnant soul of a great emperor. Even if its strength was no longer at its Peak from when it was alive, if it went all out, it could still burst forth with formidable speed.

"Lin Ran!!"

Seeing this scene, the color drained from Yan Ruyu's face instantly, her legs went weak, and she was so terrified she nearly fainted.

As the Vice Peak Master of Destiny Peak, she was knowledgeable and naturally knew what Lin Ran was experiencing at this moment.

A remnant soul of a great emperor was actually attempting Possession on Lin Ran!

Her heart tightened instantly, as if an invisible hand had gripped it, making her feel like she was suffocating.

She was trembling slightly, her heart filled with fear and unease.

If Lin Ran died, if he was subjected to Possession, how could she explain it to Su Xiyue, how could she explain it to Nan Feng, how could she explain it to the Three Ancestors?!

A peerless Prodigy possessing the Destiny Immortal Body and the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, whose path to invincibility had not even begun, was subjected to Possession—what a mockery this was?!

Yan Ruyu's mind went blank at this moment; she had no idea what to do, standing there stunned and helpless, two lines of clear tears flowing from her eyes.

Lin Ran had been subjected to Possession; was he still the Lin Ran in her heart?

She hadn't even had the chance to tell Lin Ran that she loved him, nor had she even had time to tell Lin Ran that from the moment she saw him, she had already regarded him as her "prey."

The thousands of words she wanted to say to Lin Ran remained unsaid!!

"Lin Ran..."

Meanwhile, inside Lin Ran's Sea of Consciousness.

Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul was frantically searching for Lin Ran's Divine Soul.

He had been a Great Emperor during his lifetime; even if only a wisp of his remnant soul remained, destroying Lin Ran's Divine Soul would be effortless.

As long as he found Lin Ran's Divine Soul and completed the Possession of this Physical Body, the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone would be his!

He would surely return to his Peak, perhaps even go further, stepping onto the pinnacle of the immortal path!

"Found you!"

Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul flew recklessly through Lin Ran's Sea of Consciousness and soon found Lin Ran's Divine Soul fleeing at high speed right before his eyes.

"Want to run? Heh, death is your final destination!"

Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul reached out with his right palm, and monstrous magic power surged forth, engulfing Lin Ran's Divine Soul.

"Boom!"

Lin Ran's Divine Soul had absolutely no power to resist; he was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Soul's transparency unavoidably dimming a few shades.

"Kid, I must thank you for helping me escape from the Seal of the dark devouring sword."

"Therefore, to repay you, I can allow you to speak your last words, or even use your Physical Body to fulfill your unfulfilled dying wishes!"

Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul walked through the air, looking down at Lin Ran's Divine Soul, which appeared like an ant, from a high and superior position.

"Even if I am to die, I want to be a ghost who understands the truth. What exactly is all this? Are you not the sword spirit of the dark devouring sword?"

Lin Ran's Divine Soul struggled to stand up, gritting his teeth and demanding angrily.

"The sword spirit of the dark devouring sword? I am sorry, but the dark devouring sword never gave birth to a sword spirit."

"And I am the remnant soul of one of the two Great Emperor Experts, named Huang Jiuxuan."

Huang Jiuxuan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly.

"As for why I was Sealed here by the dark devouring sword, it is actually simple to explain."

"Back then, I led my clansmen to fight against the people of the Dragon Clan, and we accidentally extended the battlefield to this place."

"The Clan Chief of the Dragon Clan—who is the other Great Emperor corpse you saw—and I discovered the dark devouring sword here at the same time."

"We both discovered the extraordinary nature of the dark devouring sword, knowing that this sword might be the key factor for us to kill each other."

"Therefore, our fighting became increasingly intense due to our struggle for the dark devouring sword."

"But who would have known that later, we both suffered heavy losses, and the dark devouring sword suddenly surged in power, not only killing our Physical Bodies but even Sealing our Divine Souls here."

"And our respective clansmen either died or were injured, and were ultimately eroded by the dark aura emitted by the dark devouring sword. Whenever any living being comes here, it triggers a riot of that dark aura."
