99: Chapter 99 Possession?

Although it seemed like there were many changes just now to an onlooker.

Spatial jumps, Blade Qi lockdowns, Soul assassinations, thunder and fire bombardments...

But all these clashes actually happened in the blink of an eye!

Extremely crisp! Extremely decisive! The ultimate violent suppression!

Su Wu held the white dragon warblade, stood on the edge of the large crater, and looked down at the miserable phantom at the bottom of the pit with not a hint of pity in his eyes.

Just then.

In the curtain of rain not far from the deep pit.

A figure wearing plain clothes with a beautiful face was standing there in a daze.

That was the "Lin Waner" simulated within the illusion.

At this moment, she was looking at Su Wu, who was surrounded by thunder and fire and looked like a war god descending to earth, with a confused and incredulous expression.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and a hint of joy that could not be concealed.

Su Wu turned his head and looked at the figure in the rain that had been on his mind for twenty years.

Although he knew it was fake.

But Su Wu's cold eyes turned into endless tenderness at this moment.

He slowly put away the white dragon warblade and gave his wife in the illusion a brilliantly bright smile:

"Waner, don't be afraid."

"Do you see? I am no longer the useless person who could be slaughtered at will back then."

"Wait for me! We will meet again soon! I will personally go to the Holy Spirit Star Domain and bring you back!"

As his voice fell.

Crack! Crack!

The entire precarious world, the massive interstellar warship, the deep pit on the ground, and even Lin Waner not far away.

All made crisp cracking sounds at this moment, like a shattered mirror.

The next moment, the entire illusion completely collapsed, turning into countless fragments of light and shadow, and dissipated into the Void Realm.

...

The illusion dissipated.

His vision cleared once again.

Su Wu discovered that he had not returned to the vast Starfall Palace hall, nor had he returned to the Chaos Void Realm where the fifth-order ancient martial art was suspended.

At this moment, he was in an extremely narrow, closed space with a radius of only about ten meters.

This space had no doors, no windows; the surroundings were black walls as smooth as iron, and the dome above was very high and pitch black, making it impossible to tell how high it was.

Just as Su Wu was vigilantly examining this strange place.

"Hahaha... Good! Very good!"

"Congratulations, young trial-taker."

A voice carrying an unquestionable supreme majesty echoed without warning in this narrow, closed space!

"Congratulations, by relying on supreme will and combat power, you have seen through the falsehood. You have become the first trial-taker in ten million years to successfully pass all the Legacy assessments of the Starfall Palace!"

Hearing this, Su Wu did not show any signs of ecstasy; instead, his expression instantly became incomparably cold.

His gaze scanned the smooth walls around him as sharply as a hawk, his Divine Thought fully unleashed, yet he did not discover the source of this voice, nor did he even capture a trace of Soul fluctuation.

"Playing god. Come out and speak!" Su Wu said coldly, his voice laced with undisguised vigilance.

"Young descendant, no need to look. You cannot find me."

The old voice continued, with a hint of world-weary exhaustion and arrogance in its tone: "I am the creator of this Starfall Palace, a Domain Master from the ancient era! Now, I have long since fallen, leaving only a faint trace of my remnant Soul, attached to the core Formation of this palace, remaining here solely to find a qualified successor."

"Since you have passed the three ultimate trials of the Physical Body, Law, and Soul, you are qualified to receive my final supreme Legacy!"

As the voice finished speaking.

"Hum—"

In the very center of the pitch-black dome of the closed space, a beam of extremely brilliant, pure golden, soft light descended vertically from the round hole, like a sacred pillar of light, shining directly on the ground three meters in front of Su Wu.

"Go, my successor."

The old voice was filled with temptation and anticipation: "Bathe in this divine light and absorb it! It contains my lifelong ultimate insights into the Soul Dao. As long as you absorb it, you will obtain an unimaginable supreme Opportunity! Your Soul will instantly undergo a qualitative leap, and you might even directly touch the threshold of a Star Saint!"

"This is the reward you deserve!"

Su Wu stood still.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze coldly watching the golden light that had descended before him.

Indeed.

That light contained an extremely ancient, pure, and mysterious Soul aura.

When this aura spread, Su Wu even felt his Soul Sea, which had not long ago advanced to the Star Emperor Level, could not help but produce a trace of extremely eager agitation, as if it were the most delicious tonic in the world.

Logically speaking, having passed through many trials and obtaining the final reward is the most normal script for a Secret Realm.

But!

Su Wu was surprisingly hesitant.

In fact, deep in his eyes, an unprecedented extreme vigilance rose!

Something is wrong!

From the moment he stepped into that ball of white light and arrived at this so-called third level, Su Wu's keen sixth sense had been frantically sounding the alarm!

In the first two levels, the first level tested the Physical Body, and the reward was a tangible "soul sea flying dagger"; the second level tested the Law, and the reward was the physical "fifth-order ancient martial art" golden bead placed on the platform. These were all upright, openly displayed things.

But what about this third level?

Not only did it conjure up an inexplicable Heart Demon illusion, but now that he had passed, there was no physical reward, but instead, it lowered a beam of light for him to "absorb"?

What's even worse!

There was actually an ancient consciousness claiming to be a "Domain Master remnant Soul" hiding here, eyeing him covetously from the side!

A primitive old monster who had lived for who knows how many tens of millions of years, going to such great lengths to set up these trials, was it really just to altruistically find a successor for itself, and then Dissipate into smoke?

Who are you trying to fool!

Su Wu, who had read countless web novel tropes in his past life, knew all too well what kind of bloody traps were hidden behind such "old grandfather giving Cultivation Technique" tropes!

"This is a supreme Opportunity that can greatly enhance Soul power! It is a once-in-a-thousand-years chance!"

Seeing Su Wu standing still without moving, the "Domain Master remnant Soul" hidden in the darkness seemed a bit anxious.

Perhaps it had waited for ten million years and was truly too eager. The majesty originally maintained in that old voice gradually showed a crack, and the tone carried an undisguised sense of urging and urgency:

"Quick! Hurry and stand inside! Absorb it, and you can ascend to the heavens in one step! Do not waste this heaven-sent fortune!"

Hearing this impatient urging, Su Wu finally sneered completely in his heart.

"The fox's tail, can you finally not hide it anymore?" Su Wu mocked inwardly.

"Sorry."

Su Wu suddenly shook his head. Not only did he not walk towards the light, he instead took a large, decisive step backward.

"I have no interest in this so-called supreme Opportunity."

Su Wu crossed his arms, looking coldly at the pillar of light:

"Senior, you should leave this heaven-sent fortune for the next fated person. I have already taken the fifth-order ancient martial art, and I am satisfied. Farewell!"

Having said that, Su Wu actually turned around, raised his hand, and made a move to bombard the black wall behind him, forcibly breaking open this closed space to leave!

"Stop!"

Seeing that Su Wu had refused this "pie falling from the sky" without hesitation and was even turning to leave, the remnant Soul in the dark could finally no longer keep up the act!

"No! This is the Domain Master's supreme Opportunity! Since you have already come this far, you must accept it!"

The voice became exasperated.

"As expected, there is a problem!" A cold light flashed in Su Wu's eyes, and he turned around abruptly, gripping the hilt of his blade.

"You ant, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Seeing Su Wu so vigilant, the remnant Soul knew that there was no point in continuing to pretend.

"Since you have seen through it, don't blame this seat for being impolite!"

Boom—!

Accompanied by an extremely cold and venomous roar.

The originally sacred and soft golden pillar of light instantly turned into an eerie blood-red!

Immediately after, in Su Wu's vigilant gaze.

The space at the center of the pillar of light twisted.

A dark red humanoid Soul body, exuding an extremely decaying aura, appeared abruptly out of thin air in the center of the secret room!

This dark red Soul body had a hideous face, its eyes like two burning ghost fires, staring fixedly at Su Wu's perfect Physical Body, as if looking at a peerless delicacy.

It let out an extremely harsh, hair-raising, cackling laugh:

"I originally wanted to let you be assimilated by me in bliss, but since you won't cooperate... then this seat has no choice but to force it!"

"A perfect Physical Body!"

"Since you have already come here... then stay forever and become the shell for this seat's Rebirth!!!"
