36: Inheritance, struggle

["Good! Good! Good!"]

["Bone age of one hundred and thirty-two, Wood Spiritual Root, Golden Core Peak, Myriad Wood Revival Physique!"]

[Divine Sword True Lord laughed heartily. Then, as if noticing everyone's puzzled gazes, he began to explain.]

[As it turned out, the Cultivation Technique he cultivated was called the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture.]

[Not only did it point directly to the Immortal Dao, but it could also seize the power of heaven and earth to bless oneself, granting several or even dozens of times more lifespan.]

[This Cultivation Technique was extremely powerful, but it was loathed by heaven and earth.]

[Although he possessed unparalleled talent, he unfortunately failed while undergoing his eighth Lightning Tribulation.]

[In the end, although he narrowly survived by relying on the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture, he was left in this half-human, half-ghost state.]

[Furthermore, his situation was different from Dan Juezi's.]

[Dan Juezi's Soul was intact; he only needed to forge a suitable body to achieve Rebirth.]

[On the other hand, two of Divine Sword True Lord's Souls and five of his earthly Souls had long been destroyed by the Lightning Tribulation. Even if he found the most suitable body, he wouldn't be able to achieve a successful Fusion.]

[He could only wander in the Small World he had established as a lonely Soul.]

[However, he had not been idle during these years in the Small World.]

[Instead, he began researching the most suitable successor for the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture.]

[Ultimately, through his unremitting efforts, he discovered that only a spiritual body with powerful vitality was the most suitable successor for the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture.]

[Because once one cultivated the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture, they would be loathed by heaven and earth.]

[When the time came, the intensity of the Lightning Tribulation would increase drastically.]

[Only with sufficient defense and vitality of one's own could one survive such a Lightning Tribulation!]

[And the Myriad Wood Revival Physique was a standout among spiritual bodies with life attributes.]

[Moreover, it could counter the Lightning Tribulation very well.]

[It was truly the perfect choice for cultivating the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture!]

[Divine Sword True Lord extracted a portion of Legacy power from the light screen and threw it directly toward Mu Ningshuang.]

[Mu Ningshuang began to accept the Legacy.]

[This Legacy power was extremely formidable. It contained not only the Slaughtering Heaven Sword Scripture, but also Divine Sword True Lord's insights into it over the years.]

[Mu Ningshuang's aura began to grow stronger, but Divine Sword True Lord's figure gradually faded.]

[He had integrated his last bit of power into the Legacy as well!]

[Everyone present noticed this.]

[You did as well.]

[You secretly cursed Divine Sword True Lord for being an idiot. Without his protection, how could Mu Ningshuang possibly obtain the Legacy safely?]

[It seemed this man had truly been driven stupid by the Lightning Tribulation.]

[Sure enough, the very instant Divine Sword True Lord vanished, Tang Chuan and Chu Han both struck simultaneously.]

["Fellow Daoist, how about the two of us slay this woman and share the Legacy?"]

["Heh... Tang Chuan, you think you are worthy of sharing the Legacy with me?"]

[Chu Han sneered, but he failed to notice that the several Kelei Academy Cultivators who were originally behind Tang Chuan had already vanished.]

[But you noticed.]

[At the exact moment Tang Chuan and the other six Kelei Academy Cultivators formed a Formation to suppress Chu Han, Dan Juezi merged with Chu Han once again.]

[Both sides fought with all their might, rapidly depleting their spiritual energy.]

[In the end, however, Dan Juezi narrowly claimed victory by relying on his experience as a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator.]

[One Kelei Academy Cultivator after another died by his hand. Just as he was about to reach Tang Chuan, you made your move!]

[You detonated your spiritual body and burned your Physical Body's power.]

[Your originally decrepit self burst forth with a powerful surge of vitality.]

["Die!"]

[You snorted coldly, and your entire body's spiritual energy transformed into a palm print, blasting toward Dan Juezi and Tang Chuan.]

[With this strike, the mountains and rivers changed color. Everyone's eyes turned toward you; they never expected anyone would be willing to unleash an attack at the cost of their own life.]

[Before Tang Chuan could even let out a scream, he was directly obliterated.]

[Dan Juezi also roared repeatedly. Although he unleashed a portion of his cultivation, he was forced to undo his Possession once again under the restrictions of the Secret Realm.]

[After this attack, you suddenly felt the world around you spin violently.]

[You collapsed to the ground.]

[Though you were not yet dead, you knew that this was merely the final flare of a dying candle.]

["What a pity... what a pity..."]

[Facing Chu Han, who was walking toward you step by step, you closed your eyes and prepared for death.]

["Stop! This Envoy shall protect this man!"]

[Looking toward the source of the voice, you found that the one standing before you was indeed the Vermilion Bird Envoy, Feng Xuanji.]

[At this moment, Feng Xuanji also looked over at you.]

[You did not know her, but the Slave Gu on your body transmitted a slight fluctuation.]

[This fluctuation came from the deputy envoy beside her.]

[This person was actually Fat Second Master!]

[You were greatly shocked.]

[Who would have thought that a former street thug from Tianxing City would transform into a deputy envoy of the Four Saints Heavenly Palace? In that case, this Feng Xuanji was probably—Xiao Su!]

[Faced with Feng Xuanji's interference, Chu Han snorted coldly.]

[With Dan Juezi by his side, he had not suffered much damage just now.]

[Although he could not merge with Dan Juezi again in the short term, he did not believe Feng Xuanji would be his match.]

[Chu Han and Feng Xuanji began to clash.]

[Yet within just a few exchanges, he discovered that Feng Xuanji was actually not weaker than him at all!]

[Furthermore, she had Fat Second Master and others by her side. These people were all experts, completely unmatched by those around him.]

[Chu Han did not lose his head. Knowing he could not win, he immediately planned to retreat temporarily and wait for Dan Juezi to possess him again.]

["Brother Chu, don't leave! Lend me a hand!"]

[Looking toward the sound, you discovered that Tang Chuan, who should have been completely obliterated, had actually been resurrected.]

[And this time, he was resurrected instantly on the spot!]

[Moreover, disregarding the grudge of Dan Juezi killing his close friends just now, he directly asked Chu Han for help!]

[You instantly felt a wave of numbness wash over your scalp.]

[But at this moment, your spiritual body was shattered, your Meridians were broken, and even a Qi Refining Cultivator could easily kill you. How could you possibly block the aggressively approaching Tang Chuan?]

["Hahaha... Su Xuan, surprised? We of the Azure Emperor Clan are born with one chance at Rebirth."]

["Rebirth makes us even stronger. Ordinary members of the Azure Emperor Clan would directly undergo Rebirth relying on their own vitality."]

["But I am different. I have been waiting for you all along, waiting for over a hundred years!"]

"Waiting for me?!"

"No, what on earth is going on with this Tang Chuan?!"

Watching the scenes unfolding in the simulation, Su Xuan furrowed his brows tightly.

He was absolutely sure that he had transmigrated to this world as an infant.

Due to his mature mind, he had been kind to others since childhood. Even Tang Chuan, who had always disliked interacting with people, often received his help.

He was certain that the Tang Chuan of that time definitely harbored no ill intent toward him.

Could it be... this person was later subjected to Possession?!

And the person who possessed him knew certain things about him?
