Chapter 1647: Chapter 1025: Barely Surviving in the World_2

Could it be that he really stayed on the corpse all this time, waiting for the right moment, because he was worried about being noticed by the Righteous Cultivators when going out?

This thought flashed through his mind, and He Song’s gaze continued to focus on the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.

As for that Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.

Unable to put the corpse into the storage bag for some time, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

He quickly flipped the corpse over and began searching it again.

According to his thought.

He probably believed there were other precious treasures on this corpse.

That’s why he couldn’t put it into the storage bag along with the corpse.

However.

Despite searching, he didn’t find anything.

Until...

The Qi Refining Demon Cultivator took out a top-grade spiritual tool that shone with a chilling light from his storage bag.

And looked intently at the corpse’s abdomen.

Watching the scene unfold before him.

He Song’s mouth twitched.

Indeed.

These Demon Cultivators are ruthless.

They treat human life as if it were nothing.

Just moments ago, he was thinking of giving this corpse a decent burial, and now he’s ready to dissect it with a sword.

As the top-grade spirit sword in the hands of the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator gradually approached the corpse’s abdomen.

The corpse, which had been motionless, suddenly reacted at this moment.

The next moment.

A stream of light shot out from the body, bursting into the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator before him.

The Qi Refiner, who was initially planning to dissect the corpse to see what treasures it contained inside.

Suddenly rolled his eyes.

And in an instant, put the top-grade spirit tool back into the storage bag.

At the same time, the expression in his eyes changed from being clear to one that was cunning and calculating like a fox.

"Ignorant junior."

"I originally wanted to spare your life."

"To let you take my body to the outside world to find a suitable vessel for body seizing."

"Unexpectedly, you even attempted to destroy this Nascent Soul Corpse."

"You truly deserve death!"

Saying this, a trace of anger flashed across his face.

He truly didn’t expect, after waiting for years, the first one he encountered was merely a Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.

Moreover, in his sensing, this Qi Refining Demon Cultivator’s Spiritual Root Aptitude was extremely poor, only four spirits rootS.

With such aptitude.

How could he possibly elevate his cultivation back to the Nascent Soul Realm?

At this thought, his expression became even gloomier.

However.

Upon seeing the scene before him.

And hearing the words spoken by this person.

At this moment, He Song’s expression changed abruptly.

Just now, he saw clearly.

In the stream of light that emerged from the corpse and landed on the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator, there was no Yuanying present.

This former Sect Master of the Yin Soul Sect, whose cultivation reached the late-stage Nascent Soul when alive, seemed to have only a soul remaining after years of wear.

As for his Yuanying.

It had likely dissipated long ago.

Thus.

Upon noticing this fact.

He Song quickly realized.

At this moment, it was likely the best opportunity to strike and completely eliminate the person before him.

After all, even though he had identified this person as the former Sect Master of the Yin Soul Sect.

Considering he had not even a Yuanying remaining and only a soul left in the mortal realm, this person was undoubtedly at the lowest point of his life.

Moreover, having completely seized the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator, the power he could unleash was greatly limited.

Additionally, since only his soul remained.

He Song could deduce that this person probably wouldn’t constantly monitor the outside world.

But would instead fall into slumber to prevent excessive consumption, causing even his soul to dissipate.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until the Qi Refiner was ready to act on his corpse to seize and possess him.

Given this situation.

If He Song were to act now, the results would likely be very noticeable.

With this thought.

He Song didn’t hesitate, quickly manipulating from outside, Mu Xue, who had already completely controlled the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array, launched an attack on the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator.

At the same time.

The three puppets that had been hidden within the array all this time revealed themselves.

Instantly.

The former Sect Master of the Yin Soul Sect, who had been angered by the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator’s actions, found the scene before him changed suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before him transformed from forested mountains into a vast expanse of snowy whiteness, cold and biting.

Simultaneously, a biting cold rapidly engulfed his body, even reaching his soul.

And it was this encroachment.

That deprived him of any chance to resist.

The next moment.

Three enormous swords descended upon him.

"Heavenly Star Sword Skill!"

As the three swords fell, the body of the just-possessed Qi Refining Demon Cultivator was instantly pulverized.

And his own soul, under the assault of the three swords, quickly dissipated by more than half.

Then, accompanied by another surge of the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array’s power.

The Sect Master of the Yin Soul Sect, who had recently seized a Qi Cultivation Demon Practitioner, vanished in the blink of an eye.

Until the last moment.

He had not recovered his senses from the attack within the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array and the three puppets under He Song’s command.

Witnessing this scene.

He Song did not hesitate to release his divine sense, sweeping through the array completely.

After confirming that the opponent was truly and utterly dead.

He Song finally ceased his actions, stepping into the Teleportation Array with his real body, arriving at the heart of the array.

Quickly, he performed the Soul-Searching Skill at the place where the former Sect Master of the Yin Soul Sect fell, extracting all of his pre-death memories.

Having reviewed all the former Sect Master’s memories.

He Song instantly understood why the other perished here.

The main reason.

Was the overwhelming cost of using the secret skill.

Initially.

At the Yin Soul Sect’s gate, the Sect Master was already under siege by multiple Righteous Nascent Soul Cultivators and severely injured.

Then, using a secret skill to escape from the array only worsened his injuries.

After escaping here by relying on the secret skill, he reached his limits and could no longer escape, nor even heal himself.

Ultimately, he was able, with his last trace of consciousness, to set up a Concealment Array here to protect himself.

Thereafter, it was a long period of unconsciousness.

As time passed, when he awoke once more.

His original body had become a corpse.

Even his Yuanying had completely dissipated during his slumber.

And by then, he was merely a wisp of spirit surviving in the world.

Moreover.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave and seize others elsewhere.

The main issue was that he was too fragile, being only a soul.

His soul survived mainly due to his attire.

In life, he had specifically chosen mana robes for himself that could nourish his soul.

This was intended to cling to life under extreme circumstances.

After his fall, to regain a glimmer of life through the robes.

Regarding this.

He Song’s eyes brightened.

Previously, he never thought of using mana robes that could nourish the soul, to maintain a slim chance of survival after his own fall.

After all, even though both his physical body and Yuanying perished, this Yin Soul Sect master used this means to keep his spirit alive on these mana robes.

If He Song hadn’t intervened.

He might have indeed lived a second life, once again reaching the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.
