Chapter 732: Possession and Rebirth

Swoosh!

There was no time to lose. After Yang Ling ordered the Corpse Wizard King and the others to search the Poison Dragon Valley, he cast the Great Wizard Dimension without the least bit of hesitation. He also put the Great Wizard Altar, which had so many mysterious symbols carved on it, onto the battlefield. Then, he quickly jumped onto the altar and sat cross-legged upon it.

“Skyreach Wizard Mantra: Soul Fetters!”

Yang Ling drew help from the strengthening effect of the Great Wizard Altar and Great Wizard Seal. He wove hand signs with both hands ceaselessly, and he cast many Wizard Incantations. He started setting up layers of Soul Restriction Spells at the highest speed possible.

The Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell in the Great Wizard Pagoda’s sixth floor possessed peerless might, and according to the obelisk’s explanation, if he comprehended and mastered this spell, he would be able to take all beings’ souls. But he had just gotten in touch with it recently, and he still didn’t comprehend the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell’s deepest mysteries. He wasn’t sure that he could subdue the Ancient Dragon Soul, and this was why he had to set up Soul Restriction Spells in advance as a precaution.

Drip!

Yang Ling used his Protective Wizard Power according to the obelisk’s explanation. He took a drop of Blood Essence from his right index finger. He recited a Wizard Mantra in silence and put a wisp of his Divine Consciousness in the drop of blood. In an instant, the drop of blood that contained a Great Wizard’s Blood Essence was divided into two drops. Then, the two drops were divided and turned into four drops… In the twinkling of an eye, countless indistinguishable little drops appeared. They disappeared in the air and merged into the Great Wizard World, which enveloped the whole Poison Dragon Valley.

When the dusky Great Wizard World fused with Yang Ling’s Blood Essence, it didn’t change much at all for the Corpse Wizard King and the others. It was a different matter for the Ancient Dragon Soul, which fought the Grand Wizard Houtu intensely. It shivered suddenly, and it felt like something was seeping into its body. It didn’t feel any pain, but it still detected intense danger.

“Aah, who are you?”

The Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, discerned that it had lost its advantage. It didn’t have any more fighting spirit or will to continue fighting. It planned to escape into the depths of the valley and continue its training. But the Grand Wizard Houtu was very swift, and he had an abnormally strong body. He fought intensely for a long time, yet it didn’t seem like he got tired. Instead, he grew braver, and the Ancient Dragon Soul couldn’t get rid of him, even after using every trick up its sleeve.

The Grand Wizard Houtu didn’t utter a single word as he suddenly sped up, then changed his path. With his hands. he forcefully tore the Ancient Dragon Soul into shreds. The Ancient Dragon Soul was immune to all physical attacks, and they couldn’t inflict damage upon it, but Houtu still used his great brute power and speed to destroy the Ancient Dragon Soul’s transparent body repeatedly.

“Now!”

Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar, seized this chance and wove Wizard Seals. Quickly, he cast a Wizard Incantation, and in an instant, mysterious symbols appeared in the air and revolved several times before they merged with the Ancient Dragon Soul’s body. They created a Soul Restriction Spell within its body and constricted it. They sealed its Soul Energy.

The Ancient Dragon Soul was immune to all physical and magical attacks, and its soul defense was also very strong. Normally, even the Soul Explosion and Soul Dissolving Spells wouldn’t be able to inflict deadly damage on it. But, when it was reforming its body, its soul defense was in its frailest state. After Yang Ling observed it calmly for a while, he quickly discovered this great weakness, and he swiftly seized the best chance to attack.

The Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell had three parts. The first one was a Sealing Restriction Spell, which could restrict and seal the enemy’s soul. The second part was a Devouring Restriction Spell, which could devour and weaken the enemy’s Soul Energy. The last part was the real Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell. It could take the enemy’s soul into the large-scale Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell in the Great Wizard Pagoda’s sixth floor and trap it there.

If Yang Ling ran into an enemy with weaker Soul Energy than him, he could just cast the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell and take his soul directly. But, if he ran into an opponent with strong Soul Energy, then he must first seal or devour his Soul Energy before taking his soul. The Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, had an astounding amount of Soul Energy, and Yang Ling wasn’t even really very skilled in the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell. This was why he didn’t dare try to take its soul directly. He was careful not to suffer this Wizard Spell’s backlash.

“Ah! An Ancient Spellcaster, you are… Are you an Ancient Spellcaster?” The Ancient Dragon Soul cried out involuntarily and looked in fright at Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the Great Wizard Altar.

When it was reforming its body once again, its soul defense dropped to the lowest level, so Yang Ling’s attack succeeded. A hundredth of its soul was constricted and sealed. Its reforming speed dropped greatly. What was worse was that the sealed Soul Energy started turning into black gas and slowly seeping out of its body. It flew toward the Great Wizard Altar, where Yang Ling was sitting. The Ancient Dragon Soul found this similar to the Soul Spells in the legends, and it turned pale with fright.

Swoosh!

After the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, finished forming its body, it rushed recklessly toward the nearest entrance of the underground palace. It tried to escape into the underground palace to take refuge in it. The Grand Wizard had a body that couldn’t be damaged by weapons, and he was immune to almost all soul attacks. There was also a terrifying Ancient Spellcaster. After those two joined hands, they would have a very terrifying offensive power, and even the strong Ancient Dragon Soul didn’t dare to continue fighting.

“You are within the Great Wizard World, and you can’t escape.” The Grand Wizard Houtu drew help from Yang Ling’s Great Wizard World, and he sped up again easily. He appeared like a ghost in front of the Ancient Dragon Soul, and he penetrated its belly with his right hand. Then, he punched it hard and destroyed the Ancient Dragon Soul’s transparent body.

“Soul Fetters!” Yang Ling let out a shout and seized this chance to fetter the Ancient Dragon Soul with more Restriction Spells. Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard Houtu communicated through their souls, and they cooperated perfectly.

One time, two times…

In this way, the Grand Wizard Houtu blocked the Ancient Dragon Soul’s way out and smashed its body repeatedly. As for Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged atop the Great Wizard Altar, he cast Soul Restriction Spells upon it repeatedly, and he sealed, as well as plundered, the Ancient Dragon Soul’s Soul Energy. As the Ancient Dragon Soul lost more Soul Energy, and as more of its Soul Energy was sealed, its soul defense became weaker, and its reforming speed grew slower. The situation had gotten more disadvantageous to it!

“Kill it! Kill this monster!”

“Capture it, and let’s throw it into the Beast Soul Altar. Turn it into a freak like the Pope.”

…

The arrogant Ancient Dragon Soul was at a disadvantage, and as it faced the joint attacks of Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard Houtu, its injuries became more serious. Upon seeing this, the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and the others cheered loudly. Even the Black-Horned Demon, Natalie, cheered and gave vent to her resentment. She wished badly to go onto the battlefield and destroy the enemy’s body with her whip once again.

“Sirs, as long as you stop and leave this valley, I can give you all the Godheads left by our Poison Dragon Clan over the years… I can even inform you of several great secrets!” The Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, had no way out, and he discerned that continuing in this way wasn’t a feasible solution. It could only entreat them.

“I really need the Godheads left behind by your Poison Dragon Clan, and I also want to know your secrets. But I have a way to get them even if you don’t cooperate with me.” Yang Ling sneered coldly and cast another Soul Restriction Spell. In the beginning, he might have given consideration to the proposition of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond. But now, it was already too late.

“Ah, it’s you who forced my hand. Let’s die together!” The Ancient Dragon Soul was running all over and striving hard to avoid the Grand Wizard Houtu, who was hunting it down. After a moment, It couldn’t help but roar loudly and recite some awkward-sounding incantations. A large amount of energy quickly condensed in the air and black clouds covered the sky. A terrifying Energy Whirlwind was formed!

Poison Dragon Forbidden Spell?

When Yang Ling detected the intense Energy Ripples in the air, he turned pale with fright, and he waved his hand to set up several Restriction Spells around the Great Wizard Altar. The Grand Wizard Houtu also didn’t dare to tarry, and he wove an abstruse Wizard Seal. A black halo emerged around his body. However, just when Yang Ling devoured a half-filled bottle of the Life Spring’s water to replenish his energy so he could take the risk of casting the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell to absorb the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, something very surprising occurred.

It seemed like the Ancient Dragon Soul was about to cast a supreme technique and take the crowd down with it, but suddenly, it shut its mouth and slyly flew forward at its highest speed. It quickly broke free of the Grand Wizard Houtu, who had intercepted it, and it rushed toward the Blood Angel Ophelia, who was nearby. “Hahaha, a battle angel that regained its freedom. What a good body! I have waited for so long, and I finally found a suitable body. Once I finish forming a physical body, all of you will die.”

Over the years, the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, was always looking for a body suitable for its rebirth. Unfortunately, the dragonslayer warriors and peerless powerhouses that intruded into the valley didn’t meet its requirements. Strictly speaking, the Blood Angel, Ophelia, wasn’t the most ideal body either. But even though Ophelia’s power was low, her body had great practice potential, and the crux was that she had an angel body. It was easier to get reborn in, and it was a pretty good choice.

Swoosh!

The Ancient Dragon Soul rushed forward at an astounding speed. Yang Ling had just cast half of the Soul Assimilating Wizard Spell’s incantations, so he couldn’t teleport to obstruct it. As for the Grand Wizard Houtu, he had stopped for a moment to cast the Invincible Golden Body Technique, so he also wasn’t able to teleport in time to obstruct the Ancient Dragon Soul. The Blood Angel Ophelia wasn’t slow, but she was too close to the Ancient Dragon Soul, which teleported next to her, and she couldn’t avoid it in time.

“Ophelia, leave quickly.”

At this critical juncture, the Corpse Wizard King stood next to Ophelia holding the Death Horn. He got in front of her without the least bit of hesitation. He collided with the ferocious Ancient Dragon Soul. What was strange was that the transparent body of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, grew dimmer, and in an instant, it merged with the Corpse Wizard King’s body.

“Ah! Old b*stard, you have ruined my plan. Die!”

“Ah! Lord, save me!”

…

After the Corpse Wizard King and the Ancient Dragon Soul collided intensely with each other, they both let out a miserable cry. The Corpse Wizard King felt that his body was filled with cold air, and his soul defense was instantly broken. He felt like he had been hit by a hammer, and he got a splitting headache. As for the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he was very exasperated. He didn’t expect that the old Corpse Wizard King would rush in at that crucial juncture.

He didn’t even have to consider this body’s flexibility and training potential because he didn’t want at all to let an excellent battle angel go and become an old Corpse Wizard with a body filled with Corpse Energy.

Unfortunately, even though the Ancient Dragon Soul didn’t want this at all, it could only accept reality. Time was crucial for its survival, and if it didn’t seize this time to steal the Corpse Wizard King’s body and leave quickly, it would probably never get a chance to escape. Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard Houtu had unfathomable power, and they would attack at any moment.
