Chapter 343: Blessing in Disguise

Su Fan never expected that he would one day be possessed; he hadn't encountered it in the Main World, yet he encountered it in this world.

In the Purple Mansion space, the crimson mist formed by his Divine Soul and that ink-black cloud were locked in a struggle, constantly tearing at each other.

Gradually, Su Fan began to falter.

After all, in terms of pure Soul Power, both in quality and quantity, he was no match for this person; the crimson cloud formed by his Divine Soul had already diminished by one-third.

But Su Fan did not give up, because he knew clearly that once this crimson cloud of his Divine Soul was devoured, his life in this world would come to an end.

He felt no fear, for he had a way out; even if he were devoured, it would not have much impact on his Main World, as this life of his was merely a Soul Seed separated from his Divine Soul.

If lost, at most, his Divine Soul in the Main World would be weakened for a period, and it would recover after recuperating for ten or twenty years.

Because he had a way out, Su Fan was not afraid of the struggle; as it happened, he treated it as a rehearsal, since this was his first time encountering possession, and the first time he had engaged in a struggle of Divine Souls within the Purple Mansion.

Both sides engaged in the most primitive tearing, you biting me once, I swallowing you a bit, constantly consuming each other.

"Hehe! Kid, you're done for."

"Let me devour you sooner, and you'll avoid this pain."

The black cloud mocked him coldly; of the two clouds, one black and one red, it was clear the crimson cloud was becoming smaller and smaller.

Of course, the black cloud was not having an easy time either.

Su Fan had cultivated for several lifetimes, and though his Divine Soul power in these lifetimes was inferior to his opponent's, he had never feared being ruthless, and with a way out, he was even less afraid.

What was pain? He didn't care at all; if you dare to bite me once, I will swallow two pieces of you.

Just like that, Su Fan also devoured one-third of the opponent's Divine Soul.

But it could be considered the end of the line; his Divine Soul was truly too weak and had no strength left to resist.

He never expected that he wouldn't encounter any major crisis outside, yet inside here, he would encounter the possession of an old monster; the key was that he didn't even know who it was that wanted to possess him.

He didn't quite believe it was Liuzhi Heixia; people of the Mohist School, especially those who had cultivated the Mohist mental cultivation method to a profound level, shouldn't give him such a feeling of evil.

Although Mohist Disciples were now labeled as rebels and traitors, there were truly no figures among them who were like demonic monsters.

Even the current Giant of the Mohist School, that former Yan Tai Zi Dan, was only doing it to restore his country, not because he was some demonic monster.

But this guy before him was clearly extremely evil, looking at first glance like the type of demonic monster that was evil to the extreme.

However, none of this had anything to do with Su Fan anymore; he could no longer hold on, feeling his Divine Soul growing weaker and weaker, and he was powerless to resist; in the end, he would be possessed, and as for what this great demonic monster would do after the possession, that was not something he could control.

Thinking that this was his first time and his Soul Seed was about to fail, Su Fan felt no fear, but rather a faint sense of relief.

No one could have smooth sailing all the time; that he was able to walk until today was thanks to the Universe Mirror, which had always provided help, allowing him to thrive in multiple worlds.

Originally, he could have succeeded this time just like before, but unfortunately, he met this old demonic monster.

With a long sigh, he gradually felt himself growing weaker and weaker.

"Hehehehe!"

"!"

And the opponent seemed to sense his weakness, his laughter becoming increasingly unscrupulous.

"This old man can finally come out; Ji Ru Huang, wait for this old man, I will certainly make your Ji Clan neat and tidy."

Just as this old demonic monster was being smug and arrogant, a purple light suddenly surged from the depths of Su Fan's Purple Mansion, illuminating the entire Purple Mansion space in a deep purple.

"Ah—"

And this black cloud, after being touched by the purple light, instantly began to emit black smoke as if it were being corroded by sulfuric acid.

In just an instant, this black cloud of a Divine Soul dissipated, leaving behind only the most fundamental soul source, which was absorbed by Su Fan.

His originally weak Divine Soul, after absorbing this soul source, instantly felt as if it had been injected with adrenaline, and the Divine Soul surged violently.

In just a few breaths, Su Fan felt that his previously devoured Divine Soul had recovered, and it was still constantly increasing, even surging, giving him a feeling of being overstuffed.

"That is the Universe Mirror."

After digesting it, Su Fan instantly understood; at the final moment, it was the Universe Mirror that had acted, releasing the purple light that evaporated the black cloud formed by the monster's Divine Soul.

It left behind the source of the Divine Soul, which he then absorbed.

In this way, his Soul Power not only did not decrease but instead surged.

This power of the Divine Soul was likely no weaker than that of some Golden Core stage cultivators in their middle or late stages.

It could be said that this time, he had once again turned a misfortune into a blessing; within a single day, his Divine Soul cultivation had broken through repeatedly.

Although this time it was forcibly infused and the Divine Soul realm was somewhat unstable, as long as he settled down for a period, it would be enough to digest it; this was a good thing.

With his Divine Soul strengthened again, it would be even more advantageous for his future breakthrough from the Purple Mansion to the Golden Core.

After all, breaking through from the Purple Mansion to the Golden Core, where one must smelt the lake of mana in the dantian into a small Golden Core, was not so easy and required powerful control.

Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, the more unstable a cultivator's cultivation is, the smaller the possibility of a breakthrough; although Su Fan's cultivation speed in the Main World was fast, every step he took was very solid.

Although he had consumed Spirit Pills, he relied more on the power of the Soul Seed to cultivate; the Soul Seed itself was energy that belonged to him, and there were no problems after absorbing it.

Now that his Divine Soul power was stronger, it also meant that his control over power was stronger, and thus, it would be easier when forming the Core.

Thinking of this, Su Fan was naturally very happy; of course, what made him even happier was that after absorbing the Divine Soul source of this demonic monster, he also obtained a large amount of information about this person's life.

Good heavens, this demonic monster was truly not simple; he hadn't just possessed one or two people, this guy had lived for a full one hundred thousand years.

He relied on that possession secret technique; every time his lifespan was nearing its end, he would choose to possess someone, and just like that, he slowly lived on.

Of course, although this secret technique was heaven-defying, it also had major flaws; every possession would consume his source.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, after five consecutive possessions, their own soul source would likely be exhausted, and if they went to forcibly possess someone again, not only would they fail, but they would likely send themselves to their doom.

However, this guy was different; this person's identity was not simple.

"It's actually a deity; could it be that there really are gods in this world?"

Su Fan was somewhat surprised, especially by the other party's identity, which was actually an Earth God deity.

Deities generally only appear in high-level worlds; this world was at most similar to the Main World, and the strongest in the Main World was only at the Nascent Soul realm.

The Nascent Soul realm, in a low-level world, might be regarded as a Land Immortal; in that sense, it was not impossible.
