Li Tian's expression darkened as he stood over the body of the Yong Clan Immortal. Without hesitation, he channeled his primeval essence and activated a killer move—"Soul Fragmentation."
This killer move utilized three Gu worms in tandem: the Soul Split Gu, which enabled the division of his soul; the Will Imbuer Gu, which infused the fragmented soul with his intent; and the Reality Essence Stabilizer Gu, which ensured the fragmented piece could merge seamlessly with the target.
Ethereal threads of shimmering blue light coalesced around his fingertips, pulsating with an unnatural rhythm, as the combined effects of the Gu worms manifested.
He pressed his hand onto the chest of the lifeless Gu Immortal, and with a faint hum, the fragment of his soul sank into the corpse. The Gu Immortal's body twitched violently before stabilizing, his vacant eyes glowing faintly with Li Tian's will. A smirk formed on Li Tian's lips as he observed his handiwork. "Now you serve me," he muttered coldly.
Turning to Xiao Lan, who had been watching from a distance with a mix of fear and disbelief, Li Tian's expression hardened further. "You've outlived your usefulness," he declared without emotion.
Before she could react, Li Tian struck with surgical precision, using a space path killer move to sever her lifeline instantly. Blood splattered across the ground as her body crumpled lifelessly. He didn't spare her another glance, his focus shifting to the task at hand.
He began methodically collecting everything of value from the ruins of the Yong and Fengxia clans. Primeval stones, Gu worms, rare materials, and cultivation resources—all were swept into his inventory with swift efficiency. "A pity," he mused, surveying the destruction. "But it's your misfortune."
With his task complete, he turned to the two Gu Immortals now under his control—one through his soul fragment, Yong Zhiwei, and the other cowed into submission, Feng Lianchi. "Open your blessed land," he commanded to Yong Zhiwei.
Li Tian went into the Blessed Land as he gave the Otherworldly Demon Gu to Yong Zhiwei to detect otherworldly demons. As they started their journey again to find more otherworldly demons.
Li Tian knew that handling two Gu Immortals from rival clans required precision and deception. To enact his plan, he utilized a Reality Clone, a killer move that mimicked his physical form and combat prowess. This clone was equipped with the Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus, a Rank 5 Gu capable of sustaining primeval essence for prolonged engagements, along with a suite of Ice Path Gu worms to bolster its offensive and defensive capabilities. Adding a fragment of his own soul to the clone allowed him to exert control even after the clone's destruction.
The stage was set when both Gu Immortals engaged in a fierce battle. Li Tian's Reality Clone played its part. When the clone "died," its death appeared authentic, a convincing act enhanced by the lack of advanced soul path detection methods. Unbeknownst to the Gu Immortals, the soul fragment embedded within the clone lingered in the vicinity, unseen and undetected.
As the battle intensified, one of the Gu Immortals fell. This was the moment Li Tian had been waiting for. His fragmented soul entered the weakened body of the deceased Gu Immortal, seizing control over the physical form and its resources. Simultaneously, he used the killer move "Soul Dominion" to suppress the Immortal Soul still present within the body, ensuring complete dominance.
However, the takeover came with its own challenges. The soul fragment struggled to adapt to the unfamiliar body and its suite of Gu worms, especially those tailored to the original host's path. Injuries sustained during the battle further complicated matters. To counter this, Li Tian deployed a recovery-oriented killer move, "Transient Vitality," a recovery killer move that temporarily strengthens the host body and allows it to recover from significant injuries.
Finally, to execute the finishing blow, Li Tian used a movement path killer move to harness the agility and speed of the newly acquired body. With that, he hit three birds with a stone: securing the Otherworldly Demon who was the Gu Immortal of the Yong Clan, obtaining two Immortal Bodies, and capturing both Immortal Souls.
Li Tian retreated to the Treasure Yellow Heaven, a space where Gu Immortals conducted trades across regions. Using his reserves of 20 Immortal Essence Stones, he acquired 200 Relic Gu worms, ranging from Rank 1 to Rank 5. The transaction was swift yet significant, bolstering his resources for future plans.
As he exited the Treasure Yellow Heaven and returned to Yong Zhiwei's Blessed Land, he sighed a relief as he got up from the chair and slept on the bed. The plan ate up his mind, he was worried where it would be messed up but due to the luck path killer he used the previous week which was still in effect made it easy. Now he can sleep peacefully.
