Divine Transcendence

Chapter 201: Soul Separation Possession

Yuan Ming drew his long sword and hurried to the side of the silver cat.

At this moment, he could feel the occasional bird calls and beast roars coming from all directions, and the ground was also faintly trembling, indicating that the effect of the beast-attracting incense was gradually taking effect.

"How are you, Xiying?" he asked repeatedly, carefully examining the silver cat and even patting its head.

This was the first time the silver cat allowed him to touch her body, and her fur felt soft and smooth.

Squatting on the ground, the silver cat allowed him to touch her and then glanced at him, opening her mouth to say, "Meow..."

Meow?

Yuan Ming was slightly stunned, then frowned as he noticed something was off.

Looking into the silver cat’s eyes, he saw that the original agility and pride were gone, replaced by the instinctive gaze of a spirit beast.

What had happened to the silver cat that allowed him to touch her?

But the sparrows that had led the way and the pleasant voice of Xiying were not fake, clearly it was she who had led him here.

"Xiying?" Yuan Ming tried calling out again.

The silver cat responded noticeably to his call, but it was not the same as before, just meowing again.

Just as Yuan Ming was puzzled, Xiying’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"That’s Guoguo, my spirit pet. I’m inside this girl’s body."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming subconsciously looked at the white-clothed girl lying next to the silver cat, her eyes closed and no longer showing any signs of life.

"What’s going on?" Yuan Ming was completely puzzled.

"She was previously injured by Xicangqiong, and her soul was severely damaged, on the verge of collapse. This body with the Five Elements Unified Spirit Root is not bad. Originally, my soul was attached to Guoguo’s body, but now I plan to possess her body and borrow it for a while," Xiying explained.

"So, you can have a soul attachment!" Yuan Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, the main soul controls the body for cultivation, while the attached soul comes out to play," Xiying replied.

"Can soul cultivation really be like this?" Yuan Ming asked, feeling amazed.

"Of course, I’m a genius girl," Xiying said proudly, adding, "But the body controlled by my attached soul cannot fully unleash my own strength, otherwise, I could easily take Xicangqiong’s life with just a flick of my finger."

"You’re really amazing," Yuan Ming sincerely complimented Xiying, then said, "I just lit the beast-attracting incense, and soon more fierce beasts will come. Let’s go to a safe place."

"It’s too late. If we delay a little longer, this girl’s original soul will dissipate, and this body will be completely ruined, which is a pity. I have to cast a spell immediately. If you can’t hold on next, you can run on your own, don’t worry about me. I can just go back to Guoguo’s body," Xiying said, pausing before adding, "Hmm, Xicangqiong is currently entangled by three Jindan stage cultivators, so there’s no more trouble for now."

"Okay, I’ll protect you completely in the time to come," Yuan Ming said, looking around.

"Alright, I’ll be back in a moment. I’m really looking forward to the feeling of being a formation master," Xiying said.

With that, the female formation master lying on the ground suddenly sat up.

Her body suddenly had signs of life, and she sat cross-legged like a puppet, making hand gestures.

As she sat cross-legged, a hazy light suddenly appeared at her brow, and a shadow of a three-legged golden crow flashed and disappeared within it.

Following that, the aura emanating from her body began to grow stronger, and a wave of spiritual energy spread from her body.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming put away his Nine-Ring Golden Blade and held the Cold Star Sword in one hand, guarding by Xiying’s side.

After he had killed more than ten fierce beasts that had rushed over one after another, the commotion from the beast group coming from all directions became even stronger, and the ground was shaking more intensely.

He had wanted to light the mist incense again to cover this area, but he was afraid that it would be dispersed by the fierce beasts that would come later. Once he left this area carelessly, it would be even more difficult to protect the female formation master.

And at the moment, the bewitching incense could not be used, so he could only rely on his own abilities to hold his ground.

"It’s just a half an hour!" he grinned, feeling bold.

At this moment, seventeen or eighteen fierce beasts affected by the beast-attracting incense discovered the two people and the cat here, and under the stimulation of their ferocious nature, they immediately rushed over in their direction.

Yuan Ming took a quick look and saw that the most powerful of the fierce beasts that came forward was only at the middle-level of the first stage, which eased his mind a bit.

He strode forward, standing more than ten meters away from Xiying, and with a flick of his hand, the Cold Star Sword immediately lit up with starlight and flew out, heading straight for those fierce beasts.

Using the Drive Technique, he controlled the Cold Star Sword like an extension of his arm, and it was invincible in the group of fierce beasts. Wherever the sword light passed, a chill filled the air, and one fierce beast after another was cut to pieces by the long sword, but there was no blood spilling out.

In just a few breaths, almost all of the fierce beasts had been killed, and they had hardly been able to approach within ten meters of Yuan Ming, let alone get close to Xiying.

For a while, the surrounding area was littered with the bodies of fierce beasts of all sizes, and although Yuan Ming still had plenty of strength, the battle had left him somewhat breathless.

Guoguo, the silver cat, lazily yawned as she watched the scene before her.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming sighed inwardly, realizing that the silver cat before him was undoubtedly Guoguo’s true form. With Xiying’s temperament, it was absolutely impossible for her to make such a move in front of him while possessing the silver cat.

But after just a glance, Yuan Ming immediately averted his gaze.

The effect of the beast-attracting incense would not disappear for a while, and a steady stream of fierce beasts was rushing towards the back of the mountain.

Although their location was not the center of the fierce beast attack and would not be invaded by the beast tide from all directions, it was still a heavily affected area for the gathering of fierce beasts, so they could not be careless.

Before long, the sky became somewhat dim, and a large number of fierce birds and many other birds affected by the incense flew over the mountains and headed towards the Biro Cave.Under the effect of the beast-attracting incense, they were still gathering over there and did not attack Yuan Ming and the others for the time being.

But once the effect of the beast-attracting incense wore off, it was hard to say what the target of these ferocious beasts would be.

Yuan Ming was on guard when suddenly, a loud rumbling sound echoed through the mountains and forests.

The trees in front of them were broken and collapsed in patches, and dozens of tough and ferocious wild boars formed a formation, charging towards them with red eyes, kicking up dust.

Yuan Ming frowned slightly at the sight.

This time, he was not in a hurry to rush forward and kill them, after all, he didn’t have the confidence to slay dozens of mad wild boars with just one sword.

His gaze sharpened, and suddenly he raised his hand and used a technique to control objects, as if wielding a sword.

With a flick of his finger, a black steel needle emitted a trembling sound and shot out with a "swoosh."

The black light flashed and the steel needle shot from the left side of the charging wild boar formation to the right side.

"Crack..."

The surface of the steel needle was stained with a layer of blood in the engraved runes, and the trembling tail also dripped with a pool of crimson blood. Before the ten or so wild boars at the front could even let out a scream, they all fell down together, lifeless.

The wild boars running behind them, caught off guard, were blocked by their dead companions, and one after another, they fell to the ground in a mess. Some of them were running so fast and with such force that they were tripped and sent flying into the air.

Yuan Ming, controlling the black needle artifact, continued to shuttle through the fallen beasts, killing them, while leaping into the air and using his sword to kill the ferocious beasts that leaped towards him.

Soon, this wave of ferocious wild boars was completely wiped out.

But before Yuan Ming could catch his breath, the ground shook again, and another large group of ferocious beasts attacked, even more numerous than before, and their distribution was more scattered, almost forming a fan shape as they charged towards them.

Yuan Ming focused his mind and continued to control the flying needle to charge back and forth in the group of beasts.

But because the group of beasts this time was too scattered, the effect was not as good as when he killed the wild boar group just now, and a large number of ferocious beasts still rushed towards them.

Yuan Ming held the Cold Star Sword, and used the Wind Swift Technique and Shadowless Steps to the extreme, shuttling back and forth in front of the female formation mage, constantly killing all the beasts that slipped through the net.

In just a short time, a pile of not-so-small corpses had piled up in the direction of the beast tide.

And he himself was covered in blood.

Yuan Ming stood with his sword, breathing heavily, and looked back at the female formation mage, who was still sitting cross-legged.

Silver Cat Guoguo was still squatting beside her, looking lazy and indifferent to the fierce battle that was happening around her.

Yuan Ming took a deep breath, just as he was starting to think about the matter of the soul separation, when he suddenly felt the ground shake again, and another group of ferocious beasts arrived.

Using the vision of the Soul Raven, he had already seen the situation before it happened, and sure enough, nearly a hundred ferocious beasts had rushed over.

The most troublesome thing was a snake with green scales and a single horn running at the front, emitting a breath that had already reached the initial stage of the second level, equivalent to a ferocious beast in the Foundation Establishment stage.

This was not a guy that could be easily dealt with...

Sure enough, when Yuan Ming once again controlled the black needle to attack, it was discovered by this keen-sensed ferocious beast.

It turned its head and aimed at the flying needle that was attacking from the side, spitting out a white cold breath.

The intense cold air froze the water vapor in the air, forming layers of ice crystals that successfully slowed down the speed of the flying needle.

After piercing through the layers of ice crystals, it was picked up by the single-horned green-scaled snake and flung to the side.

The huge body of the single-horned green-scaled snake swam quickly, climbing up a pile of beast corpses, and raised its snake head high, looking down at Yuan Ming with cold eyes.

However, what greeted it was a ball of blazing flames the size of a human head. Yuan Ming knew that the steel needle was simply incapable of killing the single-horned green-scaled snake, so he had already used the vision of the pile of corpses to block its line of sight and prepared a hand to explode technique.

He grinned, and the ball of fire flew out with a "whoosh."

Seeing the blazing flames approaching, the enraged single-horned green-scaled snake showed no intention of dodging at all. Instead, it reared back and then suddenly lunged down, spewing out an extremely cold gust of wind.

Under the force of the gust of wind, a stream of cold air formed, rushing towards Yuan Ming.

The blazing fireball rushed up against the cold air, and the extremely high temperature instantly evaporated the cold wind, emitting a large amount of white mist that obscured Yuan Ming’s vision.

But in the next moment, a fiery red sun lit up in the white mist.

The intense firelight expanded violently, rapidly growing from a human-sized fireball to a dazzling wall of fire, with countless fireballs splattering in all directions, evaporating all the mist.

In the bright firelight, the body of the single-horned green-scaled snake burst open, turning into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.

Even the pile of beast corpses was blasted open, with ferocious beasts being inevitably impacted, and some of them, which were not particularly strong in physique, were pierced by the strong impact and flying beast bones, resulting in death and injury.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yuan Ming once again manipulated the black needle to charge through the group of beasts, quickly resolving this wave of beast tide.

After this wave, Yuan Ming staggered, feeling a wave of weakness, as if both his magical power and physical strength had been drained.

He quickly took out a pill and swallowed it, while holding a spirit stone in one hand, rapidly restoring his magical power.

After a moment, Yuan Ming suddenly frowned and looked up.Above them, the once still mass of beasts in the sky suddenly became restless. Ferocious birds and beasts started attacking each other, descending into chaotic slaughter.

This meant that the beast-attracting incense Yuan Ming had released earlier was losing its effect. The gathering of beasts would no longer continue in this area, and the danger was about to be lifted.

Before Yuan Ming could shift his gaze, the circling predators above, drawn by the thick scent of blood, had already spotted them and began to dive down.

Yuan Ming sighed and once again manipulated the black steel needles, launching them in a rapid assault.

At the moment, controlling the black needles was the most practical method of attack. After all, they were precise and consumed the least amount of mana. With Yuan Ming’s own soul power, it was also the most convenient to control.

As for Yuan Ming himself, he needed to recover his mana as quickly as possible. As long as no second-level beasts appeared, he would refrain from taking action to conserve his strength.

But the group of predators in the sky, especially the seven or eight carrion-eating vultures, clearly did not want to leave him in peace.

They scattered in all directions, continuously diving and attacking. Each one was agile and incredibly fast, making it difficult for the black needles to be effective.

Left with no choice, Yuan Ming slapped his corpse-raising bag and summoned the Nascent Soul stage refined corpse, the Sky Serpent Elder.

As the refined corpse appeared, the Soul Crow that Yuan Ming had left in the cave also flew back. Without a moment’s pause, it crashed into the head of the refined corpse and merged into it.

In the next instant, a ghostly light flashed in the eyes of the Sky Serpent Elder, and he sprang into action.

Wearing a pair of black gloves, he positioned himself not far from the female array master, standing guard with focused attention.

If those carrion-eating vultures were only going after the dead beast corpses, Yuan Ming would not bother with them. However, if they mistook Xiying for a corpse and attacked, he would immediately intervene.

Even if the black needles couldn’t stop them, there was still the Sky Serpent Elder, adding an extra layer of protection.

Time passed, and eventually, the forest gradually quieted down, with many more corpses of ferocious beasts scattered around.
