Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 424 - 421 Birth by Possession Soul Shattering

Chapter 424: Chapter 421: Birth by Possession, Soul Shattering Roar Achieves Merit Chapter 424 -421: Birth by Possession, Soul Shattering Roar Achieves Merit Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Below the Array, countless shadowy figures suddenly flew out, transforming into Fierce Ghosts or terrifying Yakshas, swarming densely and shrouding the Underground Palace in utter darkness.

Some Yakshas stood a hundred zhang tall, while some ghosts were merely three feet in height, but no matter their size, they all bore hideous appearances and emitted a chilling presence.

All of these were Illusion Techniques cast by Rebirth Sect disciples.

The Rebirth Sect possessed a unique inheritance system, distinct from the conventional Cultivation methods in the Cultivation World. They focused solely on cultivating the Divine Soul and possessing an Immortal Body, thus their spiritual power was exceptionally strong. They specialized in mixing the false with the true, generating all sorts of phantom illusions, and utilizing various Mysterious Techniques and Magic Divine Power, just like the numerous ghostly figures currently swarming around.

The group of Yakshas and fierce ghosts split into two; one group pounced towards the Poison Insects, while the majority hurled themselves toward the disciples of various sects suspended in mid-air.

Although these were all illusions, they possessed considerable strength; some Yakshas brandished tridents and with one horizontal sweep, pulverized swathes of Poison Insects into a bloody mash. Some Fierce Ghosts exhaled Netherworld Fire, burning countless Poison Insects to char.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The Poison Insects, which were fervently gnawing on the Defensive Shield, under the command of the Five Poisons Sect Disciples, fiercely attacked the figures as well.

The strength of each Poison Insect was limited, yet every one of them possessed an astonishingly tenacious Life Force, especially since among them were many formidable insects. They moved as swiftly as lightning, easily dodging the assault of the fierce ghosts and Yakshas. They burrowed straight into their bodies, opened their mouths wide, and began tearing viciously, biting large holes into the phantom figures of the ghosts and Yakshas until, unable to sustain themselves, the illusions shattered in mid-air.

In mid-air, before the fierce ghosts and Yakshas could close within a thousand zhang, they were blasted into fragments by the Beast Taming Sect War Formation’s Giant Beast figure’s breath, turning into nothingness.

“Hmph, such petty illusion tricks, daring to show off in front of us!”

Sky Scorpion Elder sneered disdainfully and flicked her finger nonchalantly. Instantly, a dark light shot from her fingertip with the speed of lightning, piercing through dozens of strong-bodied ghosts and Yakshas with an incredibly sharp aura.

Every creature struck by her dark light let out continuous wails and dissipated into illusions.

Although these fierce ghosts and Yakshas were all illusions created by the Rebirth Sect disciples, they still required a portion of their Divine Sense to adhere to them to have any significant Attack Power. Since everyone was a Cultivator, they couldn’t treat the disciples of various sects as mere mortals to be intimidated. Merely by appearance, they couldn’t scare a Cultivator.

Those massive Yakshas and fierce ghosts shattered by Sky Scorpion Elder were all conjured by Rebirth Sect Supreme Elders who had achieved the Yangshen Realm. To prevent these creatures from impacting the War Formations of various sects, Sky Scorpion Elder personally took action to annihilate them completely.

The other phantom creatures did not even get a chance to demonstrate their ferocity before a sky-full of Spells flew in. They were from the Wanfa Sect Disciples who executed spells with great speed. In just two or three rounds, they had completely obliterated the remaining monsters.

Within the Underground Palace, the ordinary disciples of the Rebirth Sect looked somewhat uneasy.

Although having their illusion creatures destroyed only caused them to lose a small part of their Divine Sense and was far from harming their foundations, if they continued to suffer such losses, those ordinary disciples of lower Cultivation would definitely not be able to withstand the significant drain.

After all, they were not like those highly advanced Elders who could endure such consumption.

Before long, led by the Elders in command of the Array, the Rebirth Sect disciples no longer acted alone with their illusion skills. Instead, they transferred their power through the Array nodes to the Great Array Core. The Elders then manipulated the Array to consolidate a Yaksha phantom figure tens of thousands of zhang high.

“Boom…”

The Yaksha phantom figure exhaled flames, treaded on the Void, and merely shaking its form could conjure gusts of fierce wind. The huge trident in its hand possessed infinite might.

Compared to this colossal Yaksha figure, whether it was the Giant Beast figure conjured by the Beast Taming Sect or the Green Castle of the Divine Weapon Family seemed somewhat dwarfed in stature.

However, none of the parties was afraid of this seemingly immense Yaksha.

On the Beast Taming Sect’s side, a Supreme Elder snorted coldly, flew up, and directly entered the War Formation, taking the Command Flag from an Elder of the Inner Sect in control of the Formation. With a wave of his hand, vast Immortal True Essence surged into the Giant Beast figure.

With the support of this Immortal Power, the Giant Beast figure instantly solidified, let out a thunderous roar, and leaped toward the Yaksha, tearing a vast wound in the Yaksha’s chest and abdomen with one swipe of its paw.

The Giant Beast figure did not have the upper hand, though. After all, the Yaksha was a considerable entity conjured by combining the strength of all Rebirth Sect disciples through a Great Array; it was obviously not without the power to fight back. In fact, its strength was even greater than that of the Giant Beast figure.

Under the control of a Rebirth Sect Yangshen Realm Elder, the Yaksha phantom shook continuously, unleashing wildly fierce attacks with its trident, and within moments, sent the Giant Beast figure flying.

If not for the quick-wittedness of that Supreme Elder from the Beast Taming Sect who promptly retreated, they might have been struck by the Yaksha’s trident, potentially causing the Beast Taming Sect Disciples to suffer spiritual injuries.

Not far away, Wang Zhuding of the Divine Weapon Family saw how ferocious the Yaksha was and frowned, glancing towards his family direction.

Immediately, a Divine Weapon Family’s Heavenly Immortal understood the cue, retreated, and entered the depths of the Green Castle.

Subsequently, the massive fortress underwent a transformation. With creaking and clanking sounds, it morphed into a giant spiked sphere that furiously charged towards the Yaksha.

Boom, boom, boom…

The enormous sphere, with its immense ferocious power, broke the trident upon collision and then struck the Yaksha directly, making it stagger and fumble unsteadily.

Before the Yaksha could stabilize its form and before those demon cultivators from the Rebirth Sect could help the Yaksha re-coalesce a new trident, Green Castle suddenly trembled violently with eight thick chains extending from inside the sphere.

These chains, whose length was unfathomable, wrapped around the Yaksha’s figure like serpents, tightly binding it. Then, the once hedgehog-like sphere transformed anew, flattening out and sprouting around its circumference a ring of incredibly sharp blades that, like a spinning wheel, chopped toward the Yaksha’s neck.

After a series of “clang clang clang” noises, the Yaksha’s head was cleanly severed.

Although this being was merely a construct of energy, condensed by the Great Array, and as long as there was enough power, new heads and limbs could continuously emerge, the Rebirth Sect was now besieged by the united effort of various sects, who certainly wouldn’t let the Divine Weapon Family handle it alone.

As the head of the Yaksha fell to the ground, the other sects didn’t hold back and seized the opportunity to attack.

The giant beasts of the Beast Taming Sect and the enormous palms from the Wanfa Sect landed consecutive blows on the body of the Yaksha.

The Five Poisons Sect was the most ferocious, releasing countless poison insects that burrowed into the Yaksha’s yet-to-regenerate head, consuming the Yaksha’s strength from the inside out, in a frenzy.

Under the siege of these major sects, even with the Rebirth Sect desperately pouring power to maintain the Yaksha’s form, it couldn’t sustain for long. The towering specter of the Yaksha was beaten until it dispersed entirely.

Following that, the sects didn’t waste any more time, directing all their attacks toward the defensive array below, preventing the Rebirth Sect cultivators from fighting each other.

This time, the Supreme Elders of the various sects also made their move, launching a barrage of powerful Magic Divine Power and incredibly strong Immortal Artifact Divine Weapons, crashing down with an overwhelming momentum on the outer protective shield of the Underground Palace.

The reverberating booms were like thunder, shaking the earth. Distant mountains collapsed, rivers reversed their course, and indistinctly, the topography around this great mountain underwent numerous changes.

Fortunately, this place was deep within the mountains, surrounded by thousands of miles of wilderness, affecting at most a few small families outside the mountain with tremors.

Under such a fierce onslaught, in just a few hours, the outer protective shield was breached, and they started to launch various attacks into the array.

The disciples within the Rebirth Sect’s Underground Palace turned pale, and even the Rebirth Sect Master had not expected that not even a single day would pass before the peripheral Great Array was breached by the combined forces.

In reality, this was largely due to the various sects having long prepared various means to break the array. With these techniques at their disposal, they were not something the Rebirth Sect, caught off guard by the sudden attack, could withstand.

“Defend with the arrays at different locations; we cannot let the Righteous Path cultivators break through, or none of us will escape alive!”

With that call from the Rebirth Sect Master, regardless of whether the disciples below wanted to or not, they had to put forth all their effort in this moment to resist the cultivators from the various sects.

Otherwise, with the longstanding opposition between the righteous and the demonic paths, if the Righteous Path cultivators really managed to break through, they would surely not spare them.

As for the Rebirth Sect Master, he dared not act rashly.

He was being watched by four Profound Immortals from the outside.

Now he was hiding in the Rebirth Hall, protected by arrays. Even if the cultivators form various sects attacked, it would take a long time to break through, not to mention the many Rebirth Sect demon cultivators hindering them along the way; they posed no immediate threat from the combined forces reaching his location.

But as soon as he left the Rebirth Hall to confront the cultivators from the various sects, he would immediately be targeted by Elder Kongkong and the others, who would besiege him.

With his lone might, he was far from being a match for four Profound Immortals.

For him, to come out was to seek death.

So, he intended to delay as much as possible to see how the situation would develop.

The disciples from the various sects, under the leadership of their elders, had already invaded the Underground Palace.

This was a vast subterranean complex where the Rebirth Sect had operated for tens of thousands of years. At the peak period, the number of disciples had once reached up to several hundred thousand. Even though they were not as many now, there were still tens of thousands of disciples cultivating here.

And each building had an independent defensive formation. The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect now had to break through these protective arrays; regardless of whether there were demon cultivators in these outlying buildings, these places had to be destroyed to avoid the possibility of some demon cultivators hiding inside and ambushing the Righteous Path cultivators as they passed by.

In fact, due to previous oversights, cultivators from all sects had been taken advantage of this way, forcing them to expend more strength to gradually push inward.

Fortunately, the low-ranking demon cultivators didn’t have many resources spent on them in the brutal environment of the demon sects. The residences of ordinary demon cultivators didn’t have overly sophisticated arrays.

In reality, the prohibitions where ordinary Beast Taming Sect disciples lived were even more rudimentary, so the majority of the Rebirth Sect disciples didn’t stay in their Cave Mansions but joined the elders in defending within some of the larger buildings.

Qin Feng, following behind several elders of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, was also continuously attacking the arrays, blocking mysterious Demon Path magic that struck from unknown directions, and occasionally was subject to sneak attacks by several strange Demon Path treasures.

In fact, with his current Cultivation Realm and strength, he was already capable of leading a team of cultivators on his own, but he was being lazy. Additionally, he did not want to become a primary target for Rebirth Sect’s demon cultivators, which was why he was following behind several elders, blending in with a group of disciples.

Crackling noises sounded as the defense of a palace up ahead was breached.

Before the Beast Taming Sect cultivators could storm inside, over twenty or thirty Demon Path treasures flew out along with even more Spiritual Artifacts. At the same time, a multitude of illusory figures emerged, as well as various spells and Illusion Techniques, all bursting forth from within.

However, these attacks did not inflict much damage on the Beast Taming Sect disciples.

It wasn’t that the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were exceptionally strong, but because all the forces charging at the front lines consisted of their Spiritual Beasts.

These Spiritual Beasts were no vegetarians; each one’s Spell Divine Power was formidable, and there were even creatures with powerful bodies that intercepted them mid-air, hardly allowing any attacks to reach the rear.

This was why, since the war had begun, the number of Beast Taming Sect disciples who had died was the smallest.

However, once the Spiritual Beasts at the front had completely breached the palace gates, shattered the Arrays and walls, and fully engaged in combat with the disciples of the Rebirth Sect, the Beast Taming Sect disciples were inevitably caught up in the melee—casualties were bound to happen.

Aside from this, what was essential to note was the Demon Cultivators of the Rebirth Sect; when it came to strife, they were among the most mysterious and difficult to deal with throughout the Demon Path Sects.

They didn’t cultivate their physical bodies, focusing only on their Divine Souls, much like existing as Spiritual Bodies. This resulted in their spiritual power being extremely strong. The spells and Illusion Techniques they cast were a cut above those of ordinary Cultivators of the same level, and they possessed many mysterious techniques, specializing in attacking the souls of Cultivators, making them difficult to guard against.

But the most troublesome was their strange Possession Technique.

Whether seized by body seizing or not, once they managed to enter the body of a victim, ordinary disciples found them difficult to contend with.

Although the Beast Taming Sect disciples were inherently stronger in Divine Sense than ordinary Cultivators because of their need to control beasts, this didn’t guarantee superiority over the Demon Cultivators of the Rebirth Sect.

Moreover, the Beast Taming Sect disciples cultivated their Divine Senses to tame Spiritual Beasts, whereas the Demon Cultivators of the Rebirth Sect focused all their Divine Senses on how to attack their opponent’s soul and seize their bodies. Therefore, in terms of soul offensive and defensive techniques, the Beast Taming Sect disciples fell far short of the Rebirth Sect’s Demon Cultivators.

Qin Feng witnessed some of the disciples with lower Cultivation being possessed by Demon Cultivators, forcibly erasing the souls of the Beast Taming Sect disciples and occupying their bodies to fight against their comrades.

Furthermore, because the souls of the Beast Taming Sect disciples were strong, the Rebirth Sect’s Demon Cultivators found it difficult to dominate in a short time. This led to situations where two consciousnesses fought for control of a single body—sometimes using spells to attack the Demon Cultivators, sometimes turning the tide to strike fellow sect members.

Even worse, the Rebirth Sect’s Demon Cultivators didn’t care whether the bodies they possessed were dead or alive; even the corpses of recently slain disciples could serve as vessels for possession.

Witnessing the chaos created by those possessed, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a tingling scalp.

The Demon Cultivators of the Rebirth Sect were fiendishly powerful indeed!

Fortunately, not just anyone from the Rebirth Sect could possess others at will. For a successful possession, it was best to target Cultivators with a lower Cultivation Realm than theirs. Otherwise, as long as a Cultivator of the same level activated Defensive Magic, the Rebirth Sect’s Demon Cultivators might not necessarily break through and successfully possess the body.

Bang!

Qin Feng knocked a Foundation Establishment Disciple, who had been possessed by a Demon Cultivator and attempted a sneak attack on him, to the ground with his spear.

“Hehehe…”

A treacherous laugh suddenly emitted from the mouth of the fallen Beast Taming Sect disciple, “Come on, kill me!

I haven’t destroyed his soul. If you kill this body, I can just switch to another. However, your fellow disciple would be considered killed by your hands!”

Qin Feng frowned as he looked at the Demon Cultivator before him, feeling somewhat troubled.

“Senior Brother Qin.”

Suddenly, another voice emerged from the disciple, “Senior Brother Qin, please cast a spell to trap this Demon Cultivator inside my body. That way, even if you kill me, he won’t escape!”

“Shut up!”

The moment the voice dropped, an angered voice of the Demon Cultivator came through the disciple’s mouth again, “Speak again, and I’ll consume you this instant!”

Afterward, he looked towards Qin Feng, cunning shining in his eyes, “Let me go, and I can swear a Heart Demon oath. As long as you agree to let me leave, I’ll spare the life of your fellow member once I reach a safe place.”

“Don’t think about it, Senior Brother Qin, hurry…”

Qin Feng looked coldly at his fellow member before him, silent for a moment, words failing him.

Just as the impatient Demon Cultivator was about to urge Qin Feng to step aside once again, Qin Feng suddenly erupted with a bellowing roar.

The roar was like thunder, resonating within one’s soul.

He was employing the Soul Shattering Roar spell.

With his current strength, the potency of this technique was far beyond the imagination of an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

Especially since his soul contained the Dragon Power of a Giant Dragon, his thunderous roar not only carried the powerful ability to deter souls but also the intimidation of a higher Life form against an inferior one.

The possessed Demon Cultivator had only achieved Core Formation recently, or he wouldn’t have possessed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the first place.

How could an ordinary Golden Core Realm Demon Cultivator withstand Qin Feng’s Soul Shattering Roar, especially one that was not the rightful owner of the body, but merely a forcibly intruding foreign soul? Shaken by Qin Feng’s mighty roar, the Demon Cultivator’s Soul Body became unstable within the disciple, flickering in and out of visibility, on the verge of being completely expelled.

But before the demon cultivator had fully come to his senses, Qin Feng swung his long spear, and a sacred white flame burned onto the disciple’s body.

As soon as the flame touched the soul body of the Rebirth Sect’s demon cultivator, it let out a piercing scream. Its form leapt up and the entire soul body fled from the body of the Beast Taming Sect disciple.

Contained within its soul body was an enormous amount of demonic qi. When the holy flame burned onto its body, it was like adding fuel to the fire, inflicting tremendous damage.

Not even allowing the creature to escape, a chill flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. The Sky Battle Halberd transformed into an Azure Dragon that entwined around the demon cultivator. The sacred flame burned its soul body like a torch for a while before purifying the demon cultivator into nothingness amidst its wretched howls.

As for the disciple on the ground, a healing divine power from Qin Feng fell upon him, quickly repairing the burns caused by the sacred flame. It even healed his previous wounds completely. The only problem was that his divine soul had been brutally suppressed by the demon cultivator. Although his origin was not damaged, his spirit was weakened, leaving him without the strength to fight again for some time.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Qin, for saving my life!”

The disciple bowed deeply, his face filled with gratitude.

“No need for such formalities.”

Qin Feng waved his hand. “You’re not fit for battle. Go back and rest. Later, it would be best for you to leave the underground palace with the other injured disciples, returning to the tower ship, so as not to be targeted by demon cultivators again.”

“Yes, I will go to the back and not dare to disturb Senior Brother Qin in combat.”

The disciple was straightforward, knowing this was no time for bravado. He summoned his spiritual beast with a whistle, climbed onto the back of a large black ox, and headed towards the back of the battlefield.

Qin Feng shifted his gaze and looked towards another disciple a few meters away who had been possessed by a demon cultivator.

That demon cultivator, who had been relentlessly attacking a few Beast Taming Sect disciples, suddenly felt chills in his heart as Qin Feng’s gaze settled on him.

He had watched as the demon cultivator was purified alive by the flames conjured by Qin Feng, leaving not even a fragment of origin spiritual light behind.

Now seeing Qin Feng look his way, he was instantly terrified.

“Get out!”

With a furious shout from Qin Feng, the demon cultivator’s spirit was seized. Instinctively, it fled from the body it was possessing, becoming a faint shadow trying to escape into the distance, only to be hit by the combined magical attacks of several nearby Beast Taming Sect disciples. It was shattered into spiritual light fragments.

As Qin Feng’s gaze turned to other disciples possessed by demon cultivators, suddenly a demon cultivator sneered, “A bunch of trash, why flee? Leaving these bodies is just as much a death sentence. Might as well go down fighting.

“Hmph, the grandfather here knows death is inevitable today, so let’s make these Righteous Path cultivators pay a price before dying, so you know the Rebirth Sect won’t be extinguished so easily.”

“Indeed, we demon cultivators have always been the existence that Righteous Path cultivators fear. When have we ever been so cowardly and frightened? Kill, kill, kill! Even if we can’t escape, we should kill enough of these Beast Taming Sect disciples to account for ourselves.”

“Kill, kill, kill…”

Instantly, those demon cultivators went mad. Be it those entangled in the melee or those who had seized control of bodies, they all crazily used various demon techniques to attack incessantly.

Especially the demon cultivators residing within the bodies of Beast Taming Sect disciples, they continuously extracted the qi and blood of the cultivators they occupied, translating it into power to nourish their souls. With their relentless draining, in no time at all, those disciples were left blood and essence depleted, withered as if they were walking corpses. Even if their divine souls were still intact, if these demon cultivators were to voluntarily leave their bodies, it’s likely the disciples would have difficulty making any significant progress in their cultivation thereafter.

This battle lasted for the better part of half a day before gradually turning in their favor. And this was only because all the sects held a considerable advantage in both the number of disciples and the rank of Elders. It was under these circumstances they managed to come out on top.

It’s not that the cultivators from various sects weren’t brave enough, nor were they unprepared.

With the use of Breaking Formation Talismans, Breaking Formation Cones, Breaking Formation Pearls, and other means, breaking through the Rebirth Sect’s arrays had not taken long. The key challenge was the demon cultivators’ technique of possessing the sects’ disciples, which was unpredictable and hard to defend against. Once possessed, it made the disciples hesitant to attack fully, enabling the enemies to disrupt their formation, and the losses ended up being far greater than anticipated before the battle.

Fortunately, there was a sufficient number of Elders from the various sects present. With the help of those high-level Elders with profound cultivation forcibly suppressing them, the situation gradually improved.

As more and more arrays were destroyed and more buildings within the underground palace were demolished, the silhouette of the Rebirth Hall gradually appeared ahead.

The face of the Rebirth Sect Leader was ashen.

He had never imagined he would be attacked here so soon.

“Daddy…”

Beside him, the boy, who was already very pale, looked at the fierce battling of the cultivators from various sects outside, and at the scene where many Rebirth Sect demon cultivators were being killed. A look of terror spread across his face.

“Daddy, I’m scared!”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, your father is here. Rest assured, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

The Rebirth Sect Leader sensed the four Profound Immortals outside the underground palace had not entered yet, glanced at his demon cultivators being beaten back, then patted the boy’s shoulder. An almost imperceptible spirit light merged into the boy’s body.
