Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

When He Liancheng had heard that a foundation-establishment cultivator could seize Xiu Yong’s puppet, he had suspected that he was the same as him. But now, seeing it, he felt that it didn’t look like it. If he were seizing a body, it was impossible to have such a harmonious aura.

“I don’t know about that. But I’m sure your soul tastes good,” Li Tianyan did not say the last sentence but used sound transmission.

He Liancheng’s face darkened upon hearing this, and he released his Nascent Soul puppet. Xuan Zhen and the other three frowned when they saw the puppet appear and immediately used their magic weapons to fight against the evil cultivator.

“Tianyan, let’s stop him, and you find a way as soon as possible,” Xuan Zhen said before rushing out with the other two.

After Hong Lian’s calculation just then, others understood that if Li Tianyan was entangled, the advantage of the Immortal Path would be greatly reduced, putting them at a disadvantage.

However, these three people were obviously no match for the evil cultivator. As soon as they engaged, Xuan Zhen and the Biluo Immortal Sect Master were shot several feet away by the Nascent Soul puppet. Only the most powerful Haoyue Immortal Sect Master could barely hold on.

Li Tianyan tried to use his mental power to snatch the Nascent Soul puppet, but unfortunately, he failed. However, this outcome was also expected, and Li Tianyan turned his attention to other puppets.

Cheng Qi and Li Tianyan were connected, and they quickly understood what he wanted. When Li Tianyan pointed at Fan Zhuo’s puppet, Cheng Qi’s yin fire had already taken the lead to go there.

Fan Zhuo controlled the puppet and had fought against the two core formations for a long time in the late stage, and he was already showing some fatigue.

When Li Tianyan’s spiritual power invaded the puppet’s sea of consciousness, Fan Zhuo was unable to resist. Coupled with Cheng Qi’s fire, the two combined to erase the puppet’s mark in a matter of seconds.

Elder Wu Gen also took advantage of the situation to hit him with his magic weapon, which immediately imprisoned the soul of the evil cultivator. As he twisted his hand, the soul of the evil cultivator that had been deeply eroded by the inner demon was consumed bit by bit.

Li Tianyan controlled the two puppets he had taken from Hong Lian and Fan Zhuo, assisting Xuan Zhen and the others in entangling the evil cultivator’s Nascent Soul puppet, which immediately made several people feel more relaxed.

After killing Fan Zhuo, the two late-stage core formation cultivators also freed up their hands and turned to attack the evil cultivator who was hiding behind the puppet.

Li Tianyan used the Soul-Chasing Bell again to collect the death energy transformed by Fan Zhuo, not giving the evil cultivator any chance to take advantage of the situation.

After absorbing this mass of death energy, the cracks on the bell opened slightly again. Although it was not obvious, Li Tianyan still felt it.

“Young master, what’s wrong?” Cheng Qi noticed that Li Tianyan’s expression was different and turned to ask him.

“The Soul-Chasing Bell is severely damaged and may not be usable until suitable materials are found to repair it,” Li Tianyan replied with a headache.

The last time he went through the tribulation, he had used the Soul-Chasing Bell to block it, which made the cracks on it even more serious.

Tao Wu, who was secretly plotting to escape from the Soul-Chasing Bell, heard that Li Tianyan had seen through it and couldn’t help but bare his teeth in anger, wanting to pounce on him and bite him.

“It is indeed a stubborn beast,” Li Tianyan said, curling his fingers to flick the evil creature on his shoulder before turning to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Now, only six evil cultivators remained in the Shura Sect who were still fighting; the others had been subdued. Perhaps seeing Fan Zhuo’s fate made these people put away their puppets, and it seemed they would not be able to hold on for long.

Li Tianyan was planning to take down these remaining opponents first, but at that moment, a strong sense of oppression came from the sea of consciousness. He discovered it was the puppet’s perception and immediately turned to look at the Nascent Soul puppet, then glanced at the puppet beside it. He said to several people, “Stay back.”

The Blood Demon Sword he had just obtained appeared in Li Tianyan’s hand as he charged up the yin fire and slashed at the Nascent Soul puppet.

Several core formation cultivators who were fighting the Nascent Soul puppet also noticed it. They all ducked away and used all their strength to strike at the Nascent Soul puppet.

He saw the Nascent Soul puppet punch out, and the punch mark carried the vast coercion that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could possess.

Li Tianyan’s attack and the attacks of the other core formation cultivators hit the Nascent Soul puppet’s fist seal almost simultaneously, and the huge air pressure exploded in all directions.

Seeing the puppet attacking again, several core formation cultivators could only continue to fight with it. However, after the previous attack, the fighting power of Xuan Zhen and the others had weakened considerably. Fortunately, Li Tianyan’s two puppets could help them share the burden, reducing their stress.

The Shura Sect’s evil cultivator and the Nascent Soul puppet cooperated flawlessly, and several core formation cultivators were clearly outmatched. If the Nascent Soul puppet charged up another attack, it might not be so easy to dodge.

After contemplating for a moment, Li Tianyan turned sideways and looked at Cheng Qi beside him. “Xiao Qi, let me borrow your Nether Fire for a while.”

Cheng Qi’s nether fire was pure and could burn all tangible and intangible things. Unfortunately, Cheng Qi was not very skilled, so the flame level was a little low.

Although his level of Yin Fire was higher, it lacked the purity of Nether Fire. However, the flames they fused together during that double cultivation might work.

“How can I lend it?” Cheng Qi blinked and looked at him in confusion.

“Just like last time.” After Li Tianyan finished speaking, he raised his hand to cover Cheng Qi with the sleeves of his robe. He lowered his head to touch his forehead and intertwined their lips, using the Double Cultivation Technique.

Cheng Qi was flustered by his sudden move, but he quickly calmed down when he thought of the current situation.

He relaxed his body and accepted Li Tianyan’s true essence as it swam around him. The nether fire in his Dantian gradually followed the true essence into Li Tianyan’s body, merging with the flames in his Dantian.

After the two flames completely combined, Li Tianyan released them and rushed toward the sea of consciousness of the Nascent Soul puppet.

Note

The nether fire is an upgraded version of yin fire using the Nether Fire Burning Life Technique.
