As the surging power continued to course through Han Zhi's body, he could feel every fiber of his being filled with electrifying energy. The sensation was both awe-inspiring and invigorating. Han Zhi's eyes were shimmering with a mix of exhilaration and joy upon feeling his newfound power.
But in a cruel twist of fate, amidst the overwhelming power, an agonizing torment began to rip through Han Zhi's mind and soul. It was a pain beyond comprehension, a suffering that tore the very fabric of his existence. Each moment seemed like an eternity as his consciousness was shredded by unimaginable torment. The intensity was so unbearable that he yearned to release an anguished scream. However, to his horror, he found himself utterly helpless, completely unable to open his mouth or make any sound escape his lips.
Against every ounce of his faltering strength, Han Zhi fought to remain upright, his body trembling with each effort. The overwhelming desire to escape this torment surged within him, driving him to muster every ounce of his willpower. Just as he was about to turn and flee, his eyes widened in shock, and a chilling fear gripped his heart. Standing behind him, like a foreboding apparition, was a figure he knew too well - Ji Fang, the realm lord.
Ji Fang's presence emanated an aura of absolute power, his gaze piercing through Han Zhi with a chilling coldness. The exhausted and deathly pale Han Zhi stood before him, a mere mortal facing a tyrant. In an instant, Ji Fang's form morphed into a swirling mist of crimson blood, overwhelming the air around them.
With unparalleled speed and precision, the mist engulfed Han Zhi's body, infiltrating every pore and permeating his very essence.
The excruciating pain intensified, contorting his features into a mask of torment. His muscles spasmed uncontrollably, and his limbs felt as heavy as lead.
Struggling to maintain his consciousness, Han Zhi could sense Ji Fang's presence lingering within him, like a malevolent force gripping his soul. It was as if the realm lord's essence had fused with his own, intertwining their destinies in a sinister dance of power and anguish.
As the mist seeped deeper into Han Zhi's soul, he felt a surge of energy that clashed with his own consciousness. The power within him roiled and churned, conflicting with Ji Fang's dominance. The clash of these opposing forces created an internal battlefield, further tormenting Han Zhi's already battered psyche.
A searing pain surged through his veins, his skin tingling with otherworldly energy as Ji Fang's essence infiltrated his consciousness. Han Zhi could feel the insidious force overpowering his own thoughts, invading the innermost recesses of his mind. With each passing moment, his own identity flickered like a dying flame, eclipsed by Ji Fang's overwhelming presence. The remnants of Han Zhi's soul trembled in a futile struggle, for he knew that he was being devoured, his consciousness torn asunder.
In this horrifying cataclysm, Han Zhi's existence hung by a thread, the battle for control of his body and soul reaching a crescendo. As the last vestiges of Han Zhi's consciousness fought for survival, the world around him faded into darkness and nothingness.
After a considerable time had passed, a subtle yet unmistakable smile graced the countenance of Han Zhi, or rather, Ji Fang, as he had achieved his objective in seizing control over Han Zhi's body and soul. The arduous process of supplanting his original consciousness within Han Zhi's soul drained Ji Fang's physical vessel of its vitality, leaving him weary and fatigued. However, with the successful completion of the possession, a newfound vigor coursed through his veins, revitalizing his weary body.
As the minutes ticked by, the weariness that had consumed Ji Fang's physical vessel seemed to dissipate, replaced by a renewed surge of vitality coursing through his veins. This surge of energy began to reinvigorate Ji Fang's entire being, revitalizing not only his weary body but also his previously pallid complexion.
The transformation was remarkable; his once-faint pallor gave way to a healthy and vibrant hue. The color gradually returned to his cheeks, suffusing them with a youthful glow. A new radiance emanated from his revitalized visage as if whispering of the immense power that now coursing through him.
As Ji Fang observed the ongoing battle with increasing interest, a wide smile spread across his face. "Oh, how intriguing! It seems that girl has decided to join the fray as well," he remarked, his curiosity piqued.

The battle between Mi Ling, Chang Jin, and the monk, intensified as each one unleashed their unique abilities and techniques. The space crackled with energy as their attacks clashed .
Mi Ling, her form cloaked in vibrant seven-coloured armor, radiated an otherworldly aura. She summoned a swirling vortex of seven-coloured energy around her, each hue representing a different elemental power. With a confident grasp of her golden saber, she swung it gracefully through the air, leaving shimmering trails of celestial energy in its wake.
As Mi Ling swung her golden saber, she fused it with the seven-coloured Qi around her, amplifying the power and range of her attacks. The blade crackled with divine energy, slicing through the air with unparalleled precision and speed. With each strike, she left behind trails of radiant energy, weaving a dazzling tapestry of colours.
Meanwhile, Chang Jin, with his immense stature and divine wings, continued his relentless assault on the monk. With the speed of a celestial hawk, he swooped down from the sky, his fists crackling with golden energy. Each punch carried the weight of his newfound power, creating shockwaves that rippled through the air.
Chang Jin's attacks were a sight to behold. He summoned an array of divine spears made of pure celestial energy, each spear pulsating with raw power. He launched them towards the monk with devastating accuracy and power. As the spears approached, Evil Warding reacted swiftly, employing his intricate monkish agility to dodge the spears and retaliate.
Evil Warding countered Chang Jin's assault with channelling his spiritual energy into his palms, causing a radiant, lotus-coloured aura to glow around them. With a resolute battle cry, he thrust his glowing palms towards Chang Jin, aiming to strike a decisive blow.
However, Chang Jin, with his immense size and agility, managed to evade the attack by swiftly ascending into the sky, his wings beating against the wind. He circled above Evil Warding like a divine hawk, readying himself for a devastating counterattack.
Meanwhile, Mi Ling noticed an opening in Evil Warding's defenses. With a mischievous grin, she transformed into three copies, each with roughly the same power and armed with her golden saber. The three clones attacked simultaneously, their blades slicing through the air with deadly precision. The celestial glow of the sabers illuminated the battlefield, leaving trails of golden energy in their wake.
Evil Warding, undeterred by the onslaught, calmly utilized the "Stunning Palm" technique, emitting a mesmerizing golden light from his palms that disoriented Mi Ling's clones. With their attacks disrupted, the clones faltered momentarily, before disappearing in the air.
The monk swiftly launched an attack aiming for Chang Jin , He infused his fists with a golden Qi ,
Striking with incredible force that shook the air around them. As his fists collided with Chang Jin's massive form, a shockwave reverberated through the battlefield, causing the ground to tremble.
Chang Jin, however, let out a cry and lightings begin to circle around his entire being, imbuing his fists with its electrifying power. With a thunderous roar, Chang Jin struck Evil Warding, releasing a torrent of golden lightning that crackled and danced across the sky surrounding the monk.
Evil Warding responded with the Thousand Lotus Palms, a technique that summoned ethereal lotus flowers around him. Each lotus had the power to absorb and redirect the golden lighting of Chang Jin's attacks, reducing them to nothingness.
"The two of you have indeed given me a huge surprise, but it's time to end this, " The monk said calmly.
Forming a buddha symbol with his hands. The monk begins to chant an ancient mantra with resolute conviction, each syllable resonating through the air. As the vibrations spread, the very ground beneath Chang Jin and Mi Ling quivered, unable to bear the imminent manifestation of divine power.
In a spectacle that defied comprehension, a colossal statue of a celestial Buddha materialized before them. Its imposing figure towered above the mortals, radiating an aura of serenity and omniscience. Slowly, the statue raised its majestic hand, and the atmosphere crackled with palpable energy.
An overwhelming surge of pressure cascaded forth from the outstretched palm, an invisible force that compelled Chang Jin and Mi Ling to their knees. The weight of the world seemed to bear down upon them, humbling their mortal souls before the grandeur of the holy manifestation.
Even as they struggled under the immense weight, the Buddha statue continued its majestic ascent. As it did, a breathtaking projection of a golden palm materialized in the heavens above, stretching across the skies like a celestial bridge. The immense projection shimmered with radiant energy, its resplendent glow casting a surreal luminescence upon everything in its path.
Now, under the watchful gaze of the Buddha statue, Chang Jin and Mi Ling found themselves facing a certain death. The Golden Palm, loomed ever closer, seemingly bridging the gap between heaven and the earth. Paralyzed by the overwhelming weight bearing down upon them, a suffocating sense of hopelessness and unease gripped their very souls.
