Chapter 1230 - 1230 72 Capturing the Purple Emperor

Chapter 1230: Chapter 72: Capturing the Purple Emperor! Chapter 1230: Chapter 72: Capturing the Purple Emperor! At this moment, the disciple from Supreme Mountain felt an almost tangible spiritual consciousness emanate from the jade pendant, urging him to press it against his forehead immediately.

The disciple, already ecstatic beyond measure, didn’t hesitate for a second and promptly affixed the jade pendant to his forehead.

Then, following the teachings conveyed by the jade pendant from the Purple Emperor, he completely let down his soul’s defenses and obeyed with all his heart and soul…

At the same time, on The Other Side…

The remnant soul left by the Purple Emperor responded within the lake—as if the key was not to leave anything behind.

Only by merging this remnant soul with the leader of the astral malice, inseparably, was it considered secure and also a measure of mutual restraint.

All other remnant souls aside from this one were stored in the jade pendant, and along with the astral malice, surged into the man’s body with the force of a collapsed mountain, rushing turbulently into his soul, consciousness, meridians…

Simultaneously, ninety-nine other disciples also received the transmitted instructions.

“The situation has changed, all disciples must immediately release their soul protections, I have misjudged, this single person alone cannot bear my inheritance, the soul-based inheritance can indeed pass on all of my abilities to the greatest extent, but the burden on the inheritor is too great… Now, only by others sharing the load can this be averted, otherwise it will be too strenuous for the soul, leading to its dispersion… I was too impatient, not foreseeing this!”

The voice was of course the Purple Emperor’s, filled with frantic self-reproach.

The disciples, caught off guard by this development, were at a loss. However, the Supreme Mountain Grand Elders above had also heard the Purple Emperor’s transmitted instructions and made a decisive decision, immediately ordering, “Release your souls, bear the inheritance from the jade pendant, a Supreme inheritance is not easily succeeded, this is a Heavenly gift, do not miss it!”

Whoosh!

Ninety-nine people, as if receiving a holy decree, simultaneously opened their souls.

Facing the open invitation from The Other Side, the ninety-nine humanoid forms of astral malice also surged into ninety-nine bodies like a flood, without the slightest resistance, immediately occupying their souls, sea of consciousness, hearts, meridians, every fiber of their being…

And probed deeply into each person’s memories.

Ninety-nine elite disciples of Supreme Mountain remained completely unguarded, solely because… what they currently felt seemed identical to the inheritance entering their bodies, the only difference being that there seemed to be something extra in their consciousness.

In everyone’s hearts was confusion, unclear and incomprehensible thoughts, they still thought to themselves that this was truly an inheritance from the Purple Emperor, not something ordinary people could cultivate.

Initially, only the eldest senior brother was to receive the inheritance, who would have thought they too could share its benefits, and now it was uncertain who would belong to the position of the Supreme first.

It had to be said, the eldest senior brother really let everyone down.

By now, the hundred disciples who entered the lake had all their bodies occupied by foreign consciousnesses.

Yet at this moment, joy filled their hearts, they felt utterly fulfilled and invigorated, all believing they had received the Purple Emperor’s inheritance.

At the very least, a part of the inheritance.

I truly am a person of deep fortune, the real beneficiary of this opportunity!

With this, the matter of the Purple Emperor’s inheritance was brought to a perfect conclusion. Beyond their joyful exuberance, they turned and made their way slowly toward the shore.

Meanwhile, the astral malice hid within their bodies, continuing to conceal their presence, planning to unleash a massacre only once they reached the shore.

The fate of these hundred people was already sealed, yet on the shore remained a considerable number of other Supreme Mountain people. With this scheme successfully executed, it wouldn’t hurt to deal with the others too, further augmenting their own strength.

You must know that although astral malice inherently didn’t possess any cultivation, what was most impressive about them was that by consuming any level of cultivation, they acquired that level of cultivation.

And such consumption was limitless and could layer the acquired cultivation upon itself!

Truly, by consuming ten people, they equivalent to possessing the cultivation of those ten people, and moreover, it was perfectly fused within one’s body, which was the most terrifying aspect of astral malice!

By consuming Cloud Top cultivators, they possessed Cloud Top strength, and by consuming Nine Colors warriors, they also possessed Nine Colors combat prowess, truly terrifying to the extreme.

As the hundred people headed forward toward the shore, within the waters of The Other Side, countless astral malices, seemingly as numerous as droplets within the lake and seemingly endless, all concealed their forms and followed close behind.

Yet those leading the way, the hundred people, failed to notice any of this.

Right now, they had only one thing on their minds, only one thought: to hurry back, hand over the inheritance, and swiftly affirm their status as inheritors of the Purple Emperor’s legacy.

Then, Supreme Mountain would undoubtedly thrive, and they themselves would become dragons with a single leap.

At this moment, the heart of the Purple Emperor’s remnant soul was also full of excitement.

Success, this round was successful!

His own former glory was about to be reclaimed, no, it would be more accurate to say that the entire world was about to become his own!

Once cultivation was raised and the physical body rebuilt, only trivial tasks remained, a piece of cake!

After that, becoming the Lord of the Continent was just a matter of course, but his own short-term goal should be the ruler of the stars, an eternal life!

The astral malice that consumed special abilities could even devour Heaven’s Path!

In the future, throughout the starry skies, where there were traces of life, wherever there was Heaven’s Path, nothing would escape his unlimited consumption!

With each consumption becoming stronger, he would grow increasingly powerful, more and more invincible!

This was truly the path to unparalleled invincibility.

Not just invincible under Heaven or in the stars, but across all ages and looking towards the future, he alone would be invincible, he alone eternal!
