Chapter 160: The Sun and the Soul

In the boundless universe, tiny stars from billions of light-years away combined into an endless, brilliant galaxy, flowing through the tranquil, dark void.

At this very moment, in the solar system located on the Orion Arm, a faint, almost imperceptible stream of light was flying toward the Sun at a speed exceeding the second cosmic velocity.

【You! What are you doing!】

Seeing the light of the star ahead drawing ever closer, the "Forgotten One" possessing Zhao Yingkong's body had a foreboding premonition. It used telepathy to communicate with Wu Xian, its tone filled with anxiety.

【As you can see, I want to take a bath with you in the Sun.】

Wu Xian grinned, his arms holding the "Forgotten One" tightening continuously. Considering this body was Zhao Yingkong's, one could also understand this as him using the legendary "Embrace-of-Death Hug"!

【You're crazy! If this continues, you will die too!】

The "Forgotten One" screamed. Although it was a demon belonging to the magical side, that did not mean it didn't understand science!

If thrown into the Sun, even in its prime, it would face certain death with no chance of survival.

And the worst part was that, in order to possess Zhao Yingkong earlier, it had gone almost all out, completely merging its Light of the Soul into this body, leaving no remnant of its will on Earth.

So, once it died now, it would never be able to resurrect.

【Finally know what fear is?】

Wu Xian replied with a mocking laugh, a look of playfulness appearing on his face.

【As for dying with you... Heh! You might not believe it, but my power comes from the Sun. Taking a bath inside is just like going home. If you don't believe me, you can try and see if your Annihilation can still hurt me!】

Hearing this, the "Forgotten One" was slightly stunned. It quickly searched Zhao Yingkong's memories for the ability settings of a Kryptonian. While panicked, it still subconsciously used the power of 【Annihilation】.

Sure enough, just as Wu Xian said, although 【Annihilation】 could still corrode Wu Xian's flesh, under the irradiation of sunlight, the cell activity within Wu Xian's body was incredibly strong.

Especially under the regulation of the Fourth Stage genetic lock, his recovery speed far exceeded the destruction of 【Annihilation】. Rounding it off, it was equivalent to not breaking his defense at all.

How is this possible! This guy hasn't even become a demigod yet, how can he resist the power of divine fire (Light of the Soul)!

Now the "Forgotten One" finally panicked. It began to struggle continuously in Wu Xian's arms, but unable to overcome the powerful arm strength of the Kryptonian bloodline, it turned to begging for mercy.

【Don't be impulsive! If I die, this little girl will lose her life too. Isn't she your teammate? Even if you don't like her, you should at least care about her life.】

【I was wrong! I'm sorry, I was too arrogant before. I can sign a master-servant contract with you and follow your lead from now on. You can play with this body as you please, and I will unconditionally cooperate!】

【If you are unwilling, I can also leave this body, just give me a way to live. I am willing to do anything...】

【Damn it! Say something! Don't you know what bargaining is!!】

In just a few minutes, the "Forgotten One" continuously begged and persuaded Wu Xian, but there was never the slightest response. In a fit of rage, it began to extract the Light of the Soul from Zhao Yingkong's body at any cost to attack Wu Xian, while also using its own power of 【Oblivion】.

However, under the sunlight, Wu Xian was almost an immortal body at this moment; the power of 【Annihilation】 could not cause effective damage to him.

As for oblivion... don't forget, Wu Xian is also a mental power controller now. I won't say anything else, but giving himself a psychological suggestion, such as rushing toward the Sun regardless of everything, was still easy.

The "Forgotten One" felt like it was going crazy.

Begging was useless, struggling was useless; it could only watch itself march toward death. It had ten thousand curses in its heart, feeling utterly stifled.

【Fine, fine, fine! So you won't leave any room for negotiation! Do you really think I'm helpless against you!!】

For example, today, in this tea house named "Youjian Tea House," many Jianghu people gathered here.

【Ignorant brat! Even if your power is strong, without igniting the divine fire, you cannot resist my will invasion. Next, I will crush your soul bit by bit, and then this powerful body will be my possession... Hahahaha!!!】

The loud laughter rang out in Wu Xian's mental world. Before he could use his mental power to capture the opponent's trail, a strange energy fluctuation rippled out, causing his consciousness to trance.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do now?

Past memories faded bit by bit. Wu Xian only felt his brain go blank, even the meaning of his own existence seemed to be forgotten, only his body was still subconsciously flying toward the Sun, absorbing the surging energy in the sunlight, feeling incredibly warm and fulfilled.

Seeing that Wu Xian's spirit had no defense at all, the remnant soul will of the "Forgotten One" was ecstatic, easily merging into Wu Xian's mental world, attempting to completely occupy his body.

But soon, the "Forgotten One" felt something was wrong.

Although there is no such thing as vision in the soul, wherever its intent reached, the information fed back was all blinding light and scorching burning!

"Could it be that this guy's mental world also hides a sun?"

The "Forgotten One" only felt that wherever the light shone on its body, it produced intense stinging pain. Its soul felt as if it were placed in a furnace, evaporating and dissolving rapidly.

Realizing that there might be some defensive means in the opponent's mental sea, the "Forgotten One" had no way back.

It had fought a mental battle with Zhao Yingkong before, and although it won in the end, its already half-crippled soul had suffered some damage. If not for its thick foundation, it would have fallen into a deep sleep by now.

But next, if it didn't occupy a new body as soon as possible, it wouldn't be able to maintain this state for long, let alone Wu Xian was still flying toward the Sun. If it couldn't occupy this body early, the end result would only be dissipation.

With no way to retreat, only by fighting forward, the "Forgotten One" endured the pain of burning and desperately rushed toward the core of Wu Xian's mental world, attempting to take the initiative before the opponent got rid of the "Oblivion" ability.

"Reached it!"

Although it was only a few seconds, in the eyes of the "Forgotten One," it felt as long as several years. Fortunately, it was an old-school demigod, skilled in using the power of divine fire, and finally resisted the erosion of the surrounding "sunlight," entering the core area of Wu Xian's mental world.

"This guy is just a mortal after all. Even if his power exceeds most demigods, he cannot be my opponent in the soul realm. As long as I can occupy this mental world before he wakes up... no, as long as I occupy more than half, this body will be in my pocket!"

The "Forgotten One's" beautiful yearning came to an abrupt end because it saw a light cluster that was dazzling to the extreme suddenly appear at the core of the mental world.

A strong light ten thousand times more scorching than the Sun fiercely pounced on the "Forgotten One's" soul entity, followed by rapid disintegration. Without even a single "ah," this ancient demon who had survived for at least ten thousand years vanished into smoke, dying quite rashly!

At the same time, the Main God's prompt sounded in the minds of all the reincarnators of the Zhongzhou Team.

【Eliminate the Source of the Blood Clan, main mission completed. All reincarnators rewarded with a Double B-rank side plot, 7000 reward points... Returning now!】
