287: Chapter 287 Desperate Situation

Wang Gang's Divine Soul separated from his Physical Body and lunged into the Sea of Consciousness between the eyebrows of the Incarnation beside him.

This action caused the surrounding Xuan Ye Scouts to freeze in surprise.

"He's performing a Possession on a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator?"

A scout whispered in disbelief.

"Has he gone completely mad?! He's abandoning his Peak True Immortal Physical Body to snatch a Tribulation Crossing Stage piece of trash? How is this any different from having his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering?!"

"Forget if he's crazy or not! The General's orders are to keep him alive to sacrifice him to the flags! Stop him, quickly!"

Although the scout leader also felt the situation was absurd, military orders were absolute.

Reacting instantly, he gave a sharp shout and lashed out with a Spirit-Inhibiting Chain flickering with runes, which instantly wrapped around the Incarnation that the Divine Soul had just entered.

The runes on the chain suddenly lit up, and a powerful Seal force spread out, attempting to imprison all power circulation within this body.

Another scout approached warily with a short blade in hand; at the slightest sign of movement, he would immediately strike to restrain the body.

Just then.

The possessed Incarnation suddenly snapped its eyes open.

The gaze was no longer empty as before, but a familiar look.

It was Wang Gang!

He had successfully completed the Possession and fully occupied this body.

"Is this the Indestructible Dao Body?!"

He murmured to himself.

He could feel that the heavy injuries he had sustained previously were healed in an instant after possessing this body, and even the wounds on his Divine Soul had vanished.

Feeling the endless, majestic vitality within his body, Wang Gang's lips curled into a grin filled with Battle Intent.

"Indestructible Dao Body... let me see for myself exactly where your limits lie!"

Before his voice had even faded, with a single thought, he didn't even try to break free from the chains but directly chose to self-detonate.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang out.

However, a self-detonation at the Tribulation Crossing Stage couldn't even scratch the scouts in the True Immortal Realm.

But Wang Gang's goal was never to harm the enemy.

When the aftershocks of the self-detonation dissipated and the dust settled.

Wang Gang was still standing there perfectly intact, without even a single scorch mark on him, as if the self-detonation just now had been nothing more than a collective hallucination.

"What on earth is this thing?!"

Several Xuan Ye Scouts watched, dumbstruck.

Self-detonation should cause one's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, so why was he still perfectly fine?

While they were dazed, Wang Gang's gaze landed to the side, on his original True Immortal Physical Body.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled.

The original Physical Body was instantly sucked into his mouth.

His Divine Soul was still in the True Immortal Realm, but this Incarnation was only at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

His original Physical Body contained his Peak True Immortal cultivation; being from the same source, it was a rare and precious supplement.

As the Physical Body was being refined, the cultivation of this Incarnation he had possessed began to skyrocket.

Peak Tribulation Crossing... Early Stage True Immortal... Mid-stage True Immortal... the Bottleneck shattered!

Late-stage True Immortal!

His aura surged all the way up, finally coming to a steady halt at the Late-stage True Immortal Realm.

Although it had dropped quite a bit compared to his original Peak True Immortal state, he was already satisfied.

Feeling the powerful strength coursing through his body and his immortal, indestructible nature, Wang Gang threw his head back and let out a long, hearty roar.

This series of bizarre developments finally brought the Xuan Ye Scouts back to their senses.

"Attack! Kill him!"

The scout leader immediately took command, leading the charge by swinging his short blade and turning into a grey shadow that stabbed toward Wang Gang.

The other two scouts also launched attacks from the flanks simultaneously.

Three Mid-stage True Immortal attacks, carrying lethal killing intent, instantly enveloped Wang Gang, who had just finished his breakthrough.

However, facing this fierce pincer attack, not only was there no fear in Wang Gang's eyes, but an even more blazing Battle Intent ignited within them.

"Good timing! I'll use you... to test the power of this new body!"

He laughed wildly, making no attempt to dodge. His entire body burned with Three-Colored Flames, and his arms turned blood-red once again.

He allowed the scout leader's short blade to plunge into his chest with a squelch.

"Got you!"

Wang Gang gave a sinister laugh. His left hand gripped the blade embedded in his body like a steel vice, preventing it from being withdrawn, while his blood-red right fist smashed ruthlessly toward the scout leader's face.

Seeing his weapon restrained and the enemy's counterattack so fierce, the scout leader made a split-second decision to release the hilt and retreat rapidly, dodging the strike.

The other two scouts took this opportunity to leave two deep, bone-revealing gashes on Wang Gang's back and thigh with their sharp blades.

However, Wang Gang only frowned slightly, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.

He yanked the short blade from his chest and tossed it casually onto the ground.

Immediately after, the horrific wounds on his body healed within a single breath.

"I can't waste any more time with these small fry! The Young Miss is in grave danger!"

A trace of worry surfaced in Wang Gang's heart.

Seeing the three scouts regroup and charge again in a triangular formation, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Wang Gang's eyes.

"Since I can't shake you off, then... all of you just die!"

He roared, and instead of defending or dodging, he proactively charged into the center of the three men's attack.

Under their horrified gazes, his Late-stage True Immortal body began to expand.

Boom!

An explosion of energy ten times, a hundred times more violent than before suddenly erupted.

The full-power self-detonation of a Late-stage True Immortal Cultivator possessed enough power to heavily injure or even kill Cultivators of the same rank.

The three Xuan Ye Scouts had no time to make any effective response. Their Protective Immortal Light shattered, and they were blown out of sight by the shockwave.

At the center of the self-detonation, the turbulent energy slowly calmed.

Wang Gang's figure appeared in the same spot once again, perfectly intact, with even his robes restored to their original state.

He snorted coldly and didn't linger for a moment. His Escape Light ignited as he pushed his speed to the limit, turning into a blood-red light that chased after the direction Yun Ge had fled... Up ahead, Fierce Blood, who was pursuing the Icefield Titan with all his might, also sensed the violent Immortal Rank self-detonation wave coming from far behind him.

As well as the familiar aura of Wang Gang reappearing and rapidly approaching.

He frowned slightly, a flash of suspicion and surprise crossing his eyes.

However, these thoughts only lasted for a fleeting moment.

His primary target was always the rampaging Icefield Titan ahead, and the beloved daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei on its back.

"Almost there... just a bit more!"

Fierce Blood's eyes were full of greed. He pushed his speed to the absolute limit, and the distance between him and the Icefield Titan was rapidly shrinking.

"Princess Yun Ge, there's no need for futile struggles! Surrender peacefully, and this General might spare your life!"

His voice pierced through the wind and snow, clearly reaching Yun Ge's ears ahead.

Yun Ge's delicate body trembled slightly, her heart sinking to rock bottom.

She knew very well that she absolutely could not be captured alive by the Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty.

Otherwise, the enemy would surely use her as a bargaining chip to blackmail her father.

At that time, what a passive and difficult position would her father be forced into?

And how much blood would the soldiers at the border have to pay as a price?

A thought of absolute resolution rose in her heart.

"Is it... really going to come to that step?"

She bit her lower lip hard.

Taking her own life seemed to be the only choice to avoid being a burden to her father.

Her gaze subconsciously swept across the magnificent and warm palace beneath her feet, which her father had specially built for her.

When her peripheral vision caught a corner of the palace, her movements suddenly froze.

There, a figure stood quietly.

His gaze was calm, and his aura was profound.

It was precisely that Incarnation Su Mo had given her.
