Chapter 159: A Heaven-Rank Technique, Ghost Possession!
It's not that your heart is cold. It's just that these people never got along with you back in the sect. You'd be doing well just not to kick them while they're down. As for lending a hand, there was no such possibility at all!
Xiao Fan looked at his severely wounded Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, and it was as if he had made up his mind. He said to everyone, "You go first. I have a way to deal with them, Junior Brother!"
"Trust me, hurry up and go!!!"
The group hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted their teeth and left, leaving Xiao Fan alone in this place.
"Heh heh heh, what, you think you can stop us on your own?" Three Desolates appeared, looking at Xiao Fan who blocked their path, and jeered.
"Leave this kid to me. Tender and juicy, he'll definitely be delicious!" One of the Desolates at the early Void Return stage stepped forward, choosing to duel Xiao Fan one-on-one.
Then, you saw Xiao Fan's cultivation begin to climb steadily, suddenly rising to the early stage of the Return-to-Void realm!
Even the aura around him gave off a cold, sinister feeling, as if the entire person had become someone else.
Hiss, could this be the legendary Heaven-Rank technique, Ghost Possession? You guessed that Xiao Fan must have the Remnant Soul of an unknown powerful existence within him.
But fortunately, I have a concealment treasure personally forged by the Old Monster. As long as a Great Vehicle stage cultivator doesn't come in person, no one can detect me!
"You think raising your cultivation to the Return-to-Void realm means you can beat me? Ridiculous!" The Desolate opposite him sneered contemptuously, then began chanting some ancient incantation.
"Noisy!" Xiao Fan said coldly, then slapped out with his palm, actually directly striking the early Void Return Desolate into severe injury!
"How could that possibly be! Why are you unaffected?" The severely wounded Desolate's face filled with shock.
"This is trouble. I never imagined we'd run into a fish that slipped through the net here. Everyone, attack together!" The three Desolates struck at once, all charging toward Xiao Fan.
Before a Heaven-Rank technique like Ghost Possession, the three Void Return Desolates had no power to resist at all. In an instant, they were eliminated by Xiao Fan, wiped out!
A Remnant Soul phantom slowly surfaced. It was actually a middle-aged man!
"This strike exhausted all my strength. The rest of the road, you'll have to walk yourself." Having said that, the phantom vanished, leaving behind only a jade slip.
"Senior!" Xiao Fan cried out in alarm.
"Don't panic. The Old Senior has only fallen into slumber. He won't die for the time being." After confirming, your figure slowly emerged and said to Xiao Fan.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fan looked at you appearing out of thin air, extremely wary, and his body unconsciously pulled some distance away from you.
"Elder of the Heavenly Blade Sect, Ye Fan!" That was how you introduced yourself.
Hearing that you were of the same sect, Xiao Fan's vigilance relaxed a fraction, but his gaze still stared fixedly as he said, "That scene just now, you saw all of it?"
You shrugged. "What, you want to kill me to silence me?"
This person could hide beneath the Senior's nose for so long. His strength must be extraordinary. It's best not to provoke him. Thinking this, Xiao Fan cupped his fists and bowed to you respectfully.
"How would I dare? We are both disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect. How could this junior raise a hand against a Senior?"
"Heh, that's good then." You chuckled, your gaze settling on the jade slip in Xiao Fan's hand. That was the last thing the Old Senior had left behind before falling into slumber. You were very interested in it.
Because, in the very instant that jade slip appeared, you had felt a stir in your heart!
Though you didn't know where that feeling came from, it didn't stop you from investigating.
"Might I ask if Senior has some matter?" Xiao Fan inquired. "If there is nothing, this junior will take his leave first."
"That jade slip in your hand, might I borrow it to take a look?"
"Don't worry. After I've seen it, I will definitely return it." In this moment, you felt as though you were a villain.
"Heh heh, a Senior has a request. How would this junior dare refuse?" Xiao Fan said with a laugh. The next second, his figure suddenly vanished, fleeing elsewhere!
Beneath your feet, a formation that had been laid at some unknown time was suddenly activated, trapping the fleeing Xiao Fan within it.
I knew you would run. I already laid a net across heaven and earth here! You had long anticipated this, having set up the formation ahead of time to seal off this space.
Xiao Fan tried for a while, discovered he could not break the formation, and gave you an awkward look.
With no other choice, Xiao Fan, unwilling and resentful, finally handed the jade slip over into your hands.
Receiving the jade slip, you gave Xiao Fan a somewhat surprised glance. You had originally been prepared to fight and snatch it, but never imagined Xiao Fan would cooperate so readily.
A thread of your Primordial Spirit power delved into the jade slip, and you saw what was recorded inside.
An hour later, you returned the jade slip to Xiao Fan with an expressionless face, dispelled the grand formation, and left directly.
"This Senior is actually quite trustworthy." Xiao Fan muttered behind you.
You found a safe place and immediately began secluded cultivation.
That jade slip from before recorded a technique for how to utilize the Power of Law, and even how to fuse the Power of Law!
This discovery sent you into wild joy. For so long, you had been relying on battles with Law Avatars to figure out the use of the Power of Law on your own.
As for fusing the Power of Law, that was something you had long desired, yet had never had the slightest clue about.
And now, with just a single jade slip, all your doubts were resolved!
That technique in the jade slip was deeply imprinted into your mind, and you began bitter cultivation day and night.
I never imagined the Power of Law could be used this way!
These two Powers of Law actually fused with each other!
This fusion was different from when you had forcibly kneaded them together before. This time, the two Powers of Law intermingled, and could actually unleash power surpassing their own!
Moreover, this time, you could clearly sense a thread of Heavenly Might emanating from within those two fused Powers of Law!
I understand now! To control the Power of Law is to control this world!
As long as I can fully master the Power of Law, I can borrow the might of heaven and earth!
Your mind stirred, and in the distant sky, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and a bolt of Heavenly Lightning suddenly struck down!
So this is what the true Power of Law is? With a stir of your mind, you could make Heavenly Might descend.
So the Power of Law is not merely for battle. More importantly, it is to control this world.
To make this world serve me!
Above your head, peals of thunder and rain suddenly fell.
Beneath your feet, threads of flame began to burn. No matter how the rain fell, it could not extinguish this flame.
