Chapter 625: 625
As the Yin Soul bellowed, an invisible, gray blade burst from the roiling dark clouds, hurtling toward Ling Fan.
Inside the secret chamber, the Kuno father and daughter watched the scene on the screen with bafflement.
They could only see the image without sound, witnessing the Divine Being falter in strike, only to exhibit a shocking change of demeanor moments later.
Far from showing anger, he appeared quite pleased.
The two harbored countless doubts, wondering why the Shrine Deity was so joyous!
Moreover, when the Divine Being had unleashed the invisible 'Blade of the Divine Soul,' the pair had been completely unaware.
This entity, untraceable by technological means, is also elusive in person unless one possesses a profoundly strong Soul Power.
Creek Mountain outskirts.
Ling Fan sensed the oncoming Soul Attack, and his complexion fiercely transformed.
However, the next action he took was somewhat unexpected, as he made no move, neither dodging nor counterattacking.
Rather, he stood stone-still, seemingly oblivious to the imminent danger!
The Yin Soul in the sky was initially worried, but seeing the Blade of the Divine Soul vanish into Ling Fan's forehead, it thrummed with excited tremors.
Even the dark clouds above churned vigorously, reflecting the tumultuous emotions he felt at that moment.
"Hahaha, sacrificing my own soul power is a small price to pay for a perfect vessel to possess, well worth it!" the Yin Soul cackled with delight, looking down at the expressionless Ling Fan.
The 'Blade of the Divine Soul' was not a skill he had acquired in the God Realm but one he had developed as a spirit body, a new ability.
This 'Blade of the Divine Soul' is a purely spirituous attack, invisible and invincible, his secret weapon.
In his view, that Blade could have destroyed Ling Fan completely a hundred times over but at a great cost!
"Hahaha, perfect vessel, I'm coming for you!" the Yin Soul laughed triumphantly while his floating specter vibrated sharply before plunging towards Ling Fan's immobile form below.
At the same time, the Yin Soul secretly rejoiced, thankful that no being from the Kugawa Shrine had intervened, otherwise this opportunity might not have been his to seize.
Before coming here, he had contacted a being from the Kugawa Shrine, but they had not agreed to join him.
Initially annoyed, he now felt fortunate.
If that being had come, he might not have been the match since the being from Kugawa was older and more powerful.
Before he became a Divine Being, he had even sought advice from the Kugawa entity on how to become a Divine Being.
And his true identity before his death was that of the ninja from Yue Shan who had grasped enlightenment and stepped into the God Realm.
In the Kuno Clan's secret chamber, the Kuno father and daughter stared at the screen, clueless about the actual events unfolding on-site.
They saw the Divine Being mutter something, and then Ling Beiming went completely blank.
At that moment, they saw the Divine Being, along with roiling dark clouds, dive toward Ling Fan below.
The Yin Soul roared excitedly, and in the blink of an eye, he was near Ling Fan, his spirit eager to invade the body.
Just as the Yin Soul was about to reach him, Ling Fan opened his eyes suddenly, revealing a glint of sharpness, his mouth curling into a knowing smile.
At this instant, from another corner cloaked in shadows, eager faces became visible.
It was another Divine Being, just arrived from the Kugawa Shrine.
Initially, when the Aragaki Divine Spirit had requested his presence, he had declined, as it had nothing to do with him.
Why bother with such muddy waters when maintaining soul power was hard enough? Usually confined to nurturing himself within the Shrine, who would want to venture out and engage in conflicts?
It seemed that the Aragaki Divine Spirit had been forced to make a move, yet intended to involve himself. There probably was a plan to exhaust his own strength.
As Divine Beings, there existed a competitive relationship between them.
If one party's Soul Power weakened to a certain extent, the other had an opportunity to devour the opponent and strengthen itself.
Therefore, after he had declined the other's request, he still sneaked over secretly to see if there was any advantage to be gained.
Just now, he had seen from a distance the Aragaki Divine Spirit use the 'Blade of the Divine Soul' on that young man and, after striking the other down, he had not left; instead, he rushed over impatiently.
Watching the Aragaki Shrine Deity rush down with rolling Soul Power towards that figure, he had wondered what the guy was up to.
In the end, he discovered the guy was actually attempting to possess the body, which immediately shocked him, leaving him looking at Ling Fan's body with covetous eyes, regretting that he was a step too late.
Since the Aragaki Shrine Deity had the intention to possess, it indicated that the body in question was no ordinary one.
A body that could contain their Divine Soul was, in their eyes, a priceless treasure.
At this moment, it was already too late for him to make a move.
Suppressing his excitement, he became even more concealed. Right now, he absolutely had to keep his composure and could not let the opponent discover him.
He could only wait for the moment when the other's Divine Soul entered and started merging with the body, launching a fatal strike during the vulnerable phase of the possession merge!
As he silently calculated in his mind, a sudden, drastic change occurred.
The body that had previously been lifeless suddenly opened its eyes.
Seeing the peculiar smile revealed by Ling Fan, the Kugawa Divine Spirit immediately shivered.
From the look of things, the Aragaki Divine Spirit seemed to have fallen into a trap!
He instantly concealed himself quietly, planning to benefit as the two struggled against each other.
At that very moment, the face of the Aragaki Divine Spirit entering Ling Fan's body for possession drastically changed, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Not only was this fellow's body incredibly strong, but his Soul Power also turned out to be terribly fearsome, unharmed even after being hit by his Blade of the Divine Soul?
The Aragaki Divine Spirit was simultaneously shocked, annoyed, and pleased. The stronger Ling Fan's body and spirit were, the more he liked it!
A strong body could sustain the force of his possession, and a powerful spirit would further strengthen his Soul Power!
However, such a formidable opponent was not easy to handle.
"Damn it, it's all or nothing!" the Aragaki Divine Spirit bellowed immediately.
"Divine Soul Storm!"
With a shout, he was about to gather up the 'Blade of the Divine Soul' again—but this time, it was not just one blade but tens or hundreds.
"He's insane. The 'Divine Soul Storm' will consume at least half of his Soul Power.
That's good for me, ends up benefiting me!" murmured the hidden Kugawa Divine Spirit in the dark, his eyes full of excitement.
Just then, Ling Fan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he uttered softly, "Absorb!"
With that word, both the newly formed Divine Soul Storm and the entire Soul Power of the Aragaki Divine Spirit were absorbed into Ling Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
The Kugawa Divine Spirit hidden in the distance was suddenly shocked, a bit confused by what he saw; it seemed like the Aragaki Divine Spirit had been absorbed by the opponent.
But it also looked as if the Aragaki Divine Spirit, in a last-ditch effort, had intentionally propelled the Divine Soul Storm into the opponent's Sea of Consciousness.
After taking a deep breath, he focused intently on Ling Fan's movements. He, the opportunist, was not in a hurry—the ultimate advantage was definitely going to be his.
