Supreme Emptiness

It was actually a sprouted seed.

The bud on top opened and closed, revealing dense fangs.

If someone touched it without knowing, they would be bitten, causing their body to freeze.

Then they would be sucked dry.

Jiang Fan shuddered, saying, "No wonder... no wonder your corpse has remained pristine after all these years."

"Moreover, it's no surprise that so many people have come to explore here over the years."

"Logically, they should have discovered your body and your space storage device long ago."

"But they remained in their original state, undamaged."

"So, those who had intentions toward you all died, their bones becoming nonexistent."

"They all turned into nourishment for your body."

The remaining corpses concealed such malevolent traps.

What kind of person the Six-Path Master was in life was easy to guess.

Definitely a ruthless and ferocious tyrant.

"Anyone who dared to touch the corpse of the Six-Path Master"

"They were ignorant and fearless."

The Six-Path Master sneered coldly:

"Anyone who inquired about my reputation would retreat, not daring to come within three feet of my corpse."

It seemed.

The Six-Path Master was more malevolent and vicious than Jiang Fan had imagined.

This was the remnant soul that had been following him all along.

Jiang Fan felt a flash of confusion.

The Six-Path Master seemed to sense it too, and sighed softly:

"Jiang Fan, I actually quite like you."

"Smart, cautious, and full of youthful vigor, you remind me of myself when I was young."

"Back then, I was as spirited as you, full of righteous energy."

"But you have better luck, encountering good people along the way. Your sect treats you with great kindness, your beloved with true affection, and even your friends are willing to die for you."

"You have lived the life I always longed for, the best kind of life."

"I once thought about finding someone else to possess."

"Someone like you shouldn't be destroyed by me."

"I should find another body and become your friend or elder."

"To see what the person I once longed to be would grow into."

"It's just a pity, my remnant soul is thin, and my time is running out."

"If I don't find a suitable body soon, I will vanish, scatter to the wind."

"And, there are still some things I must do."

"I need a body to live another life and complete them."

"So..."

The Six-Path Master looked at Jiang Fan, an eerie voice tinged with regret and reluctance.

"Jiang Fan, I'm borrowing your body."

"If you voluntarily let your soul leave the body, it would be best."

"I can promise to find you a new body."

"How about it?"

Jiang Fan's expression remained calm.

He shook his head slightly.

"I'll wait for you to try to take it."

He leapt back towards the entrance.

The Six-Path Master still kept his hands in his sleeves and sighed:

"You should know you can't escape."

"All the Nascent Soul experts who came here became my nourishment."

"What chance do you have?"

He stood on the corpse's shoulder.

He gently patted the corpse's face.

"Come on, time to work."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The corpse that had been dead for sixty years.

Suddenly opened its eyes!

Revealing a pair of emotionless blood-red pupils.

Jiang Fan's face changed: "A puppet?"

Having encountered the Dead Spirit Army, he was very familiar with this.

The difference was.

The corpse of the Six-Path Master was from a late-stage Nascent Soul expert.

Even as a puppet now, it was still at the early Nascent Soul stage!

How could Jiang Fan handle that?

Buzz—

As the corpse slowly stood up.

A terrifying pressure swept out.

Mid-flight, Jiang Fan felt as if a mountain pressed down on him, and he plummeted straight towards the magma.

"Heavenly Thunder Six Parts·Cloud Shadow!"

In a critical moment, Jiang Fan shouted softly.

Just before falling into the magma, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot up.

Rushing towards the exit.

But just as he was about to reach it.

Whoosh—

Everything blurred, and the corpse of the Six-Path Master blocked the exit.

Its remnant soul stood on the shoulder, a weary voice saying:

"Jiang Fan, surrender your body."

"It's your best choice."

In the face of a Nascent Soul expert, any resistance from Jiang Fan was futile.

Like an ant trying to resist being crushed by a human.

"Then try it!" Jiang Fan snorted coldly.

He didn't stop moving forward.

Instead, he pushed both palms forward fiercely.

"Five Thunder True Heaven Palm!"

A huge palm print, fiercely imprinted on the puppet corpse.

Since it was a puppet formed by devouring others' essence blood, it should fear thunder power.

Sizzling—

The corpse immediately emitted a large amount of black smoke.

It was actually death aura!

But, this death aura was terrifyingly thick, even denser than the death aura from Demon Moon's jar of soil.

Not only was it not dispelled by the Five Thunder True Heaven Palm.

Instead, it turned into a giant mouth, swallowing the palm print.

With a few muffled thunder sounds.

The Five Thunder True Heaven Palm was completely devoured.

The Six-Path Master said casually: "Thunder Path indeed restrains death aura."

"But, nothing is absolute; when the death aura is strong enough, ordinary Thunder Path can hardly suppress it."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The unscathed puppet corpse suddenly made a move.

Its iron arms seized Jiang Fan's shoulders, pressing him down hard.

Crack—

The ground cracked, and Jiang Fan's feet were embedded deep, unable to move.

Even worse, his Spiritual Power and Void Flow Thunder Force were also pressed down tightly.

Only his arms could barely swing the Purple Sword.

Swish—

However.

One swing at the puppet corpse only left a scar.

The palm-sized Six-Path Master floated away from the corpse, slowly walking toward Jiang Fan's forehead.

He shook his head slightly and said, "It's useless."

"My corpse has absorbed the nourishment of Nascent Soul experts for many years, reaching near Divinity Transformation strength."

"Your suppressed Spiritual Power cannot unleash the power of the Purple Sword."

"Accept your fate, Jiang Fan."

"One last chance: let your soul leave your body."

"If not, if I forcibly possess, your soul will be shattered."

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth: "Never!"

The Six-Path Master sighed softly: "I have been as kind as possible."

He finished.

And stepped on Jiang Fan's forehead.

He was about to delve in!

Suddenly!

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed suddenly!

A solidified spike shot out without warning.

At close range, it pierced the Six-Path Master's soul.

"Ah! Ahhh!!"

The Six-Path Master screamed in terror.

The tiny soul body quivered violently, almost about to collapse.

But, at this moment.

His soul body suddenly stabilized, and the screaming abruptly stopped.

The Six-Path Master revealed a mocking expression:

"Did you think your plan succeeded just now?"

"Did you cheer inside your heart?"

Jiang Fan concentrated: "You were also guarding against me?"

When he formed his core, he had already practiced the Soul Secret Technique.

He had always prepared to ambush the Six-Path Master.

Unexpectedly, he was on guard too.

"Heh heh heh..."

The Six-Path Master found it amusing, saying playfully:

"You're craftier than a fox."

"I am just a remnant soul; how dare I not be cautious of you?"

He reached into his body, pulling out a button-sized crystal core.

"Did you think I wasn't preparing while I was dormant?"

"This crystal core is specifically for absorbing soul attacks."

"Kid, you've run out of tricks."

"The game... is over!"

The Six-Path Master sighed complicatedly.

And stepped on Jiang Fan's forehead.

This time, nothing hindered his entry.

In the next moment.

He appeared in Jiang Fan's Divine Platform.

Jiang Fan's soul was there.

Looking at the empty platform, with only two walls.

The Six-Path Master placed his hands behind his back, calmly saying: "No need to hide."

"Let me devour you willingly; the pain might be less."

Surprisingly.

A faintly mocking voice echoed from the sky.

"Aren't I standing right here?"

Hm?

The Six-Path Master hesitated, slowly looking up, his pupils shrinking, and his soul body shaking violently.

The two walls weren't walls at all.

They were a pair of feet!

As his gaze moved up, a towering soul body, a hundred times larger than himself.

Stood like a mountain before him.

The face of the soul was none other than Jiang Fan's!

Jiang Fan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"A mere remnant soul wants to devour a Nascent Soul level soul."

"Six-Path Master, you really dare to dream."
