199: Chapter 199 Clash, Fierce and Frenzied!

Hum.

Upon the boundless silver sea, Shen Jixuan slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at his body with ecstasy, and upon feeling the extremely thick Qi and blood, his expression brightened even more.

"Such thick Qi and blood. What kind of Cultivation Technique did he Cultivate to possess such a vigorous physique?"

Shen Jixuan circulated his Cultivation Technique, and the overflowing True Qi poured in automatically. He was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief:

"Return to Truth Realm! He is in the Return to Truth Realm!"

"A Return to Truth Realm expert at the age of twenty? How is this possible?"

He was first excited, then deeply suspicious.

A young man under twenty who had not yet undergone his coming-of-age ceremony had actually achieved a Breakthrough to the Third Grade Return to Truth Realm.

Such talent, let alone in the Great Wei Dynasty, was something he had never heard of even when he traveled through hundreds of countries.

And this was only one part of it; Shen Jixuan soon discovered something else.

Besides the exceptionally thick Qi and blood, there was an incomparably terrifying power hidden within this Jailer's body.

He subconsciously mobilized that power, and soon, the entire silver ocean began to surge.

Every time the fierce waves crashed, they sent out ripples.

The True Qi within this person could no longer be described as merely abundant; it was a boundless ocean.

Every wave was formed from extremely pure internal energy.

Gradually, Shen Jixuan realized something was wrong and slowly turned his head.

The silver water surface rippled, gradually reflecting the shadow of a handsome young man.

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes, looking at the "self" in the distance who looked exactly like him.

That person stood tall and straight, dressed in black robes, with an appearance and temperament that were identical to his own.

In Chen Ran's perception, the aura and Realm of the figure in front of him were even a perfect match.

"You... you are still alive?"

Shen Jixuan was slightly stunned after seeing Chen Ran's figure.

The Nether Heart Sutra he used recorded a secret technique of Possession. After a cooldown period of several decades, it allowed the Divine Soul to leave the body and swap with someone else's.

Although the Divine Soul could perform Possession, after the act, because the Soul was not perfectly compatible, he could only survive in that body for less than thirty-some years.

This was exactly why he had not chosen to perform Possession before, even though he was confident he could leave the prison by doing so.

But the Jailers in the prison were too weak; even if the Possession succeeded, it would be useless and would only lower the cultivation of his original body.

Before this, he had already experienced five Possessions, and without exception, he had relied on his Divine Soul power to crush the opponent's spiritual sea every time.

But today was a bit different; Shen Jixuan felt a slight abnormality in his heart.

"Kid, your Divine Soul power is not weak either. How about we join forces?"

"With your high innate talent, combined with the enhancement of my Divine Soul, we can reach the peak as a Grandmaster within twenty years. The rest..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ran interrupted him.

"Senior Shen, I think you should pray for your own good fortune."

Chen Ran's eyes grew cold, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. If his Divine Soul and Realm were not far superior to ordinary people, he would likely have fallen here today.

He mobilized the True Qi in his body and struck out with a palm.

[Cloud-Turning Palm]!

The surrounding spiritual sea churned, air waves surged, and a palm print about five zhang wide swooped down with a roar.

The figure opposite him, however, was unhurried and struck back with a palm.

The two palm prints met in mid-air, and the air emitted a teeth-gritting sound.

Finally, the whistling palm wind blew, creating massive empty furrows in the water area beside them.

Chen Ran was somewhat surprised; the opponent's palm force was no different from his own—it was also the Cloud-Turning Palm!

However, Chen Ran did not give up. He struck out several more palms in mid-air, used his toes to circulate the Flowing Shadow Stepping on Snow (Lightwork), and his figure turned into a blurry line invisible to the naked eye, colliding with the figure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The entire spiritual sea began to tremble and churn, as if two great mountains were colliding and merging within it.

...

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Chen Ran stopped his hands and looked at the figure in front, whose aura was steady and whose clothes were slightly dishevelled.

Shen Jixuan rubbed his sore wrists and shouted into the distance:

"Give up. I am you, and you are me. Even if we continue to fight, it will be the same."

After just a few moves, he realized how terrifying this body truly was.

Inexhaustible True Qi, an indestructible body, top-tier Lightwork...

Each feature was an astonishing talent, yet now they were all fused into one person.

Now, even he felt some regret that he shouldn't have chosen this person as a vessel.

However, there was no turning back now.

"If we join forces, we can overthrow this world and become the Dominator of the Dynasty. How about we both take a step back?"

Shen Jixuan continued to persuade, while his right hand secretly pinched a spell gesture behind his back.

"Oh, take a step back?"

Chen Ran smiled, revealing a flash of white teeth, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

A sound faintly came from the sky in the distance.

"I think it would be better if I swallowed you as resources for my Cultivation path."

Clatter.

In just an instant, the entire spiritual sea began to surge.

The majestic True Qi condensed in mid-air and finally turned into a long, narrow blade shimmering with silver light.

Under the silver light, a flash of scarlet passed by. Chen Ran's black hair danced wildly, and the monstrous Devilish Qi behind him poured continuously into the long blade.

[Soul-Reaping Blood Evil Blade]!

Boom!

The water surface under Shen Jixuan's feet instantly collapsed, creating a huge hole, and no water flowed at the opening of the hole.

It was evident how terrifying the power of this strike was.

Shen Jixuan's figure slowly disappeared and appeared not far away the next moment, with a purple-glowing barrier surrounding his entire body.

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?"

Shen Jixuan looked at the deep pit in the distance with shock and suspicion; he actually felt a sense of danger from it.

This was actually a secret killing technique that specialized in attacking the Divine Soul!

Although he had taken the other party's body, it was not his own, and he did not know exactly what had been Cultivated.

He could only replicate the Cultivation Techniques that Chen Ran had used, so this attack caught him off guard.

He subconsciously mobilized the True Qi in his body, wanting to replicate and perform the same move, but how would Chen Ran give him such an opportunity?

Since he had attacked, he was determined not to show mercy.

In an instant, the black-haired man on the spiritual sea no longer concealed his aura.

[Blood Transformation Great Art] and [Red Lotus Secret Technique] were circulated simultaneously, and the terrifying internal energy suppressed in his heart was completely released at this moment.

His black robes fluttered, air waves surged, and his pitch-black eyes had turned scarlet at some point.

His eyes were indifferent as he waved his hand like a blade to slash down, and the majestic and massive long blade condensed from his spirit suddenly descended.

Shen Jixuan's face turned pale, and he felt a cold sense of crisis creep into his heart.

Rumble!

Saber Qi danced all over the sky; the water curtain where heaven and earth met was split in two, carving out a vacuum zone.

"The Cultivation Technique to slay you."

As the voice fell, the entire water curtain descended with immense force.

With a boom, it engulfed Shen Jixuan's figure like a tsunami.
