31: Chapter 31 The Divine Heart Illusion manifests its power across heaven and earth, annihilating the Nine Profound Phoenixes!

"As a creature of the Phoenix Clan, I am well-versed in various life-preserving techniques, so I have been able to linger on for much longer than Long Zhengyi."

"Now, I have finally encountered you, waited for the chance to escape, and waited for the opportunity to return to my Peak!"

"Therefore, I must properly thank you."

Huang Jiuxuan said with a faint smile.

"I have one more question. What grade of Magic Treasure is this dark devouring sword exactly?"

Lin Ran asked curiously.

"It is perhaps a Divine Artifact of an extremely high grade, but it does not reach the level of an Immortal Artifact."

"Alright, whatever questions or last words you have, speak them all out."

"I am in a good mood, so I will allow you to say them."

Huang Jiuxuan said indifferently.

"None."

Lin Ran shook his head.

"Since there are none, then die. I will live on well using your Physical Body."

Huang Jiuxuan extended his right palm and destroyed Lin Ran's Divine Soul.

Although he was a bit confused as to why there was not a hint of fear on Lin Ran's face, and instead, he seemed to faintly detect a trace of mockery in the depths of the other's eyes.

But these things were no longer important. What was important was that he had personally destroyed Lin Ran's Divine Soul. From this day forward, there would be no more Lin Ran, only he, Huang Jiuxuan!

"Finally... I have finally waited for this day!"

"Soul Expelling Possession Technique, possess!"

Huang Jiuxuan formed hand seals and cast his Divine Ability, wanting to completely seize control of Lin Ran's Physical Body.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still had not established the slightest connection with Lin Ran's Physical Body, and he stood there in a slightly comical daze for a long time.

"What is going on? Could it be that the Soul Expelling Possession Technique is not working?"

"Possess for me!"

Huang Jiuxuan was first surprised, then continued to use the Soul Expelling Possession Technique, wanting to control Lin Ran's Physical Body.

"Senior Huang, you have not even destroyed my Divine Soul, so how can you seize my Physical Body?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, startling Huang Jiuxuan into a shiver. He hurriedly turned around to look, his gaze filled with terror and disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

He saw that Lin Ran's Divine Soul, which had just perished at his hands, had inexplicably appeared behind him, and was staring at him with a half-smile!

"This is impossible. Weren't you..."

"Damn it! Stop playing tricks here! Die for me!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Huang Jiuxuan's brows, and he struck out with his right palm again, blasting Lin Ran's Divine Soul into nothingness.

"Now, you should be dead, right?"

Huang Jiuxuan stared fixedly at the front, not daring to blink for even a second.

"Senior Huang, it seems you do not have the ability to destroy me. It appears your plans are destined to come to nothing."

Lin Ran's voice suddenly rang out behind Huang Jiuxuan again.

This time, Huang Jiuxuan's expression finally changed. He turned to look at Lin Ran in terror, completely unable to understand what was happening.

He had destroyed Lin Ran's Divine Soul again and again, but why was Lin Ran's Divine Soul always able to reappear unharmed!?

What on earth was going on?!

Could it be that Lin Ran's Divine Soul was immortal?!

Lin Ran looked at the terrified and bewildered Huang Jiuxuan and said with a smile:

"Senior Huang, since you answered so many of my questions earlier, before you die, this Junior can also answer your current confusion."

"I might as well tell you that this place is the heart illusion divine heaven and earth that I have comprehended; everything follows my heart's desire, and everything follows my thoughts."

"What I think is what is. Here, I am the God who dominates everything, and you cannot kill a God!"

"Puchi!"

As he was speaking, the chest of Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul was suddenly pierced by a palm.

He turned his head in terror, only to find that Lin Ran's Divine Soul had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with an indifferent expression.

He was completely stunned. In front, there was Lin Ran's Divine Soul happily answering his questions, and behind him, there was another Lin Ran's Divine Soul piercing through his heart. Who could react to this?!

"No! I do not believe all this!"

"Since this is the heaven and earth you comprehended, I will break it with force, and let your Divine Soul and your heaven and earth be buried together!"

Huang Jiuxuan had almost gone mad. At this moment, he only wanted to destroy Lin Ran's Divine Soul and take Lin Ran's Physical Body for his own.

However, what made him despair was that no matter how many of Lin Ran's Divine Souls he destroyed, Lin Ran's Divine Soul would always appear one after another.

The sturdiness of this heaven and earth was also far stronger than he had imagined!

"The farce should end."

Lin Ran's Divine Soul had an indifferent gaze. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and condensed a Dao disk entwined with the Qi of destiny.

The Destiny Calculation possessed a majestic Aura and charged towards Huang Jiuxuan's remnant soul.

"This is..."

In Huang Jiuxuan's eyes, the Destiny Calculation gradually enlarged until it completely engulfed him.

Before he died, he finally understood that Lin Ran was not just a peerless Prodigy who had awakened the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone; he was also an anomalous Prodigy who had awakened the Destiny Immortal Body, and he had even comprehended the first Origin Divine Ability of the Destiny Immortal Body!

With the protection of the Destiny Calculation, even without this so-called "heart illusion divine heaven and earth," his Possession plan would not have succeeded!

It could be said that from beginning to end, his Possession plan was wrong.

He even felt that this was Lin Ran's scheme!

Lin Ran had deliberately exposed the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone in front of him, with the goal of inciting the greed in his heart, making him develop the intention of Possession, and then using the heart illusion divine heaven and earth and the Destiny Calculation to destroy him!

Lin Ran's scheming was too deep, and he had calculated his greed, knowing that he would definitely develop the intention of Possession.

From the very beginning, he had fallen into Lin Ran's trap.

If he had not developed the intention of Possession, with his ability, he would certainly have been able to escape from the hands of Lin Ran and Yan Ruyu.

It was a pity that there was no regret medicine in the world, and he could only watch helplessly as his remnant soul was crushed inch by inch by the Destiny Calculation.

In the end, his consciousness completely fell into endless darkness.

【Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully completed the Heavenly Mandate Mission!】

【Reward: 10000 destiny points, Emperor-grade Supreme Divine Ability — Sword Execution of the Nine Heavens!】

As the System's notification sound faded, the rewards were successfully received.

Sword Execution of the Nine Heavens, an Emperor-grade Supreme Sword Dao Divine Ability.

To learn this Divine Ability, one needs to condense an invincible Sword Heart, then concentrate all one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit into this one strike. When the sword is drawn, the heavens collapse and the earth perishes; it can slay Emperors and force back Gods!

"It is just right that I now have both a precious sword and a Sword Dao Divine Ability; this trip can be considered worthwhile."

"Moreover, my destiny points have now accumulated to 105,000, which is enough to awaken the second Origin Divine Ability of the Destiny Immortal Body!"

Lin Ran's Divine Soul smiled slightly and regained control of his Physical Body.

Outside, Yan Ruyu was staring fixedly at Lin Ran with a face full of resentment, the tear stains on her cheeks clearly visible.

If Lin Ran had been subjected to Possession, no matter how reluctant she might be, she would never allow this person to use Lin Ran's Physical Body to wreak havoc in this Zhangming Emperor Realm!

Of course, if Lin Ran died, she would not go anywhere.

She would bury Lin Ran here, and guard the tomb for Lin Ran for all eternity, until the day she died of old age arrived.

This was the punishment she gave herself, and also the punishment she had to endure!
