Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

He Liancheng sensed that there was a dangerous aura in the incoming flames, which might have posed a threat to him, so naturally, he did not just wait to die.

He immediately released the devouring fire spirit from his dantian. “Go, the flame is yours.”

This fire spirit had been tamed by him when he was a cultivator of Nascent Soul. He liked to swallow all kinds of flames. The purple fire in front of him was just the right way to feed his fire spirit.

A black fire spirit appeared next to the evil cultivator. This fire spirit was not like an ordinary flame but more like a bottomless black hole that swallowed everything. When people saw it, they thought of the ferocious beast Taotie.

The swallowing fire spirit had just been released from the demon cultivator’s body, and it could not wait to rush toward the purple fire. The swallowing flames grew bigger and bigger in the air, reaching twice the size of the purple fire.

Seeing that Li Tianyan’s flame was about to be swallowed up by the opponent’s fire spirit, the swallowing fire spirit suddenly smelled the breath of Lihuo Beast. It only had time to let out a scream before it was already submerged in the belly of the purple fire.

The flame fusion of the two people, had the natal heart fire of the Lihuo Beast, although it had no spiritual intelligence. It had already suppressed most of the flames at its base, not to mention the Yin-attribute Devouring Fire Spirit.

“How could it be?” The aura of his fire spirit disappeared, and He Liancheng still had some disbelief on his face.

“Thank you,” Li Tianyan said to him.

After swallowing this fire spirit, the aura of Nether Fire became even stronger than before. Li Tianyan did not expect such an unexpected gain.

Hearing this thank you, He Liancheng’s face grew even uglier, and he used a magic seal to strike Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi.

Elder Wu Gen and Xuan Zhen took action at the same time, throwing out their magic weapons to attack the magic seal. After a loud noise, cracks appeared in all three magic weapons, and they fell back into the hands of several people.

At the moment Xuan Zhen and the others blocked it, the flames had already submerged into the Nascent Soul puppet’s sea of consciousness. Before it could touch the spiritual imprint, the familiar sense of oppression struck again.

“Since you came here on your own, no one can escape today.” He Liancheng glanced at the people in the Shura battlefield and sneered.

The plan was about to succeed, but it was completely destroyed by these cultivators from the poor continent. Rather than wait until the puppet was taken away and slaughtered by others, it would be better to die. As long as his soul could escape, he could find the next host, but everyone there would have to be buried with him.

Sect Master of Haoyue noticed something was wrong and shouted to several people, “The puppet is going to explode. Get out quickly.”

After being awakened by the Haoyue Sect Master’s voice, several people immediately retreated. Of course, He Liancheng would not give them a chance to escape. He raised his wand to weave a dead realm and enveloped everyone in it.

Even the foundation-establishment cultivators at the rear gradually turned into a lifeless land filled with a deathly aura. The core formation cultivators and evil cultivators who were still fighting in the battlefield were suppressed by this heavy coercion and stopped.

Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were naturally in the Death Realm. Feeling the extremely oppressive atmosphere around them, Cheng Qi could only close his eyes and quickly run the Nether Fire Burning Life Technique.

The swelling feeling on the puppet’s body became stronger and stronger. Several core formation cultivators worked together to attack this dead realm while exploring the hiding place of the evil cultivators.

There was a world of difference between Nascent Soul and Core Formation. No one could predict how powerful this puppet’s self-destruction would be. The only safest way was to kill the evil cultivator before it self-destructed.

Li Tianyan let go of his sense of smell, but he couldn’t detect the breath of the evil cultivator. The real energy flowed within his body, and he had already begun to figure out how to deal with the puppet’s self-destruction.

Fortunately, at the critical moment when the puppet was about to explode, the Nether Fire completely burned away the spiritual imprint in the sea of consciousness. Without the control of the evil cultivator, the puppet’s aura quickly reversed, and the swelling sensation disappeared.

Li Tianyan waved his sleeves and put away the Nascent Soul puppet, and the Nether Fire returned to his body.

Several core formation cultivators breathed a sigh of relief when the crisis was over, but the dead realm in front of them had not yet disappeared. They had to find the evil cultivators to break the dead realm first. Li Tianyan’s nose twitched slightly, and he gripped the magic sword, slashing toward Cheng Qi’s back.

The evil cultivator, who had been hiding in the dead realm and intended to launch a sneak attack on the two people, suddenly noticed a dark energy emanating from Li Tianyan’s sword. He immediately waved the magic wand in his hand and released a burst of true spiritual energy to resist.

Although the evil cultivator managed to block Li Tianyan’s sword, he also exposed himself to the others. When several core formation cultivators saw him appear, they all used their magic weapons to attack him together.

Without the puppet’s protection, the evil cultivator was seriously injured by this assault. The death realm before everyone also dissipated, reverting back to the Shura battlefield, which was shrouded in blood mist.

Seeing that the evil cultivator was injured, no one had any intention of stopping. Knowing that this person had taken over another body and could be reborn using somebody else again, they were already familiar with the many methods of Nascent Soul cultivators and dared not be careless.

The evil cultivator’s body was scattered by the Haoyue Immortal Sect Master’s strike, and it was incinerated by the flames of the Fentian Sect Master. However, a transparent soul object quietly flew out of the body and was about to escape in an instant.

Li Tianyan had been waiting for this moment. When he saw the evil cultivator’s soul leave the body, he awakened the sleeping soul within him, released it, wrapped it around the soul, and took it back to his Dantian together.

“An ancestor? So, you did take a body to resurrect yourself.” The evil cultivator’s voice echoed in Li Tianyan’s sea of consciousness.

Li Tianyan ignored him. Although he had already cultivated to the core formation and his Dantian was much stronger than before, he couldn’t let the evil cultivator’s soul have a chance to cause trouble in his Dantian.

He Liancheng also attempted to occupy Li Tianyan’s body, but the difference in the power of their souls was too great, and he was instantly suppressed and crushed by Li Tianyan. In the end, all He Liancheng could say in shock was, “A cultivator of Divine Transformation Stage*.”

Li Tianyan integrated the evil cultivator’s soul into his own, and the evil cultivator’s memories were transferred into his sea of consciousness. He immediately used the evil cultivator’s Death and Life Technique to absorb the undigested death energy from the Soul-Chasing Bell.

Tao Wu realized that all his food reserves had been taken away by Li Tianyan, and he screamed in Li Tianyan’s sea of consciousness.

Note

*Li Tianyan’s last cultivation level before he died was Divine Transformation Stage, which was below Void Refining Stage.
