Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

With a loud "bang", the Wu Gou magic weapon exploded instantly, and the Red Blood Blade also let out a wail. A crack appeared on the blade, and it lost its combat effectiveness.

"No!" Xiao Feng's heart was about to warn when Liu Xing self-destructed his Wu Gou, leaving him no time to reclaim his Scarlet Blood Blade. His lifeblood weapon was damaged, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, severely wounded. With a thought, Xiao Feng's damaged weapon flew back to his dantian. From then on, it could no longer be used to defend against enemies until it was repaired.

"You deserve to die!" Xiao Feng roared in rage after spitting out blood. His hatred for Liu Xing had reached its peak, and he wished he could eat his flesh alive and drink his blood.

Liu Xing acted as if nothing had happened despite the magic weapon's self-destruction. After all, it wasn't his natal magic weapon, not connected to his bloodline; it was simply a more powerful magical tool. He had already erased the soul imprint of the previous owner of the Wu Gou magic weapon, and it had been nurtured in his dantian for nearly ten years. While he couldn't wield it freely, he could still detonate it.

Wu Gou was the Liao family patriarch's natal magic weapon. Though his power was somewhat exaggerated, he was a genuine mid-stage Jindan cultivator. While his magic weapon wasn't as powerful as Xiao Feng's Scarlet Blood Blade, it could still injure 800 enemies for every 1,000 he inflicted. Liu Xing estimated that Wu Gou's self-detonation wouldn't destroy the Scarlet Blood Blade, but it should be enough to neutralize it. Now that the results were achieved, Liu Xing was extremely satisfied with his strategy.

The hookless magic weapon, worth at least 150,000 spirit stones, was destroyed in an instant.

Liu Xing didn't care about the money. Seeing that Xiao Feng's Red Blood Blade had lost its combat effectiveness, he rushed into the forbidden area with the Loggerhead Shield in his left hand and the Mantis Hammer in his right hand. While the opponent was seriously injured, he started the hand-to-hand combat he was good at.

Seeing the other party rushing in for a fight, Xiao Feng didn't dare to be careless for a moment. He didn't have a second ancient treasure, but he had many top-grade magic weapons on him. He first used a defensive magic weapon to resist. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he frantically stuffed his mouth with spiritual energy recovery pills, trying to quickly recover his magic power.

At this moment, Liu Xing had no other choice but to fight for his life.

He truly was like a savage beast, charging forward to tear his enemies to pieces. Before anyone even got close, a surge of murderous energy rushed towards him.

"Such a strong evil spirit!" Xiao Feng was horrified. This was the accumulation of countless powerful opponents. He dared not take it lightly. When one magic weapon was knocked away, he quickly summoned another. For a mid-stage Jindan master, activating a top-grade magic weapon was a matter of a moment.

Liu Xing raced against time, his remaining mana and spiritual awareness estimated to be double that of his opponent. The opponent's magic weapon was currently unusable, and the most powerful strange flower basket was restrained by three puppets. His own powerful physical strength and top-grade magic weapon were enough to fight the opponent, but he had to hurry and not wait for the opponent's magic power to recover.

Xiao Feng was now groaning in agony, trapped within the Rising Azure Sea Formation. His range of movement was restricted, his movements hampered. Although a mid-stage Jindan cultivator's physique was far more powerful than a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was still far inferior to a physique as hard as a top-grade magical weapon. He dashed left and right, trying to evade Liu Xing's entanglement and gain distance for a long-range attack.

But how could Liu Xing, as he wished, engage him in close combat? Several times, he self-destructed his supreme magical weapon, but Liu Xing, regardless, charged forward, causing it to explode, leaving both injured. However, each time Xiao Feng was injured more severely, while Liu Xing, due to his sturdy magical body and the shield of the loggerhead turtle, suffered less damage.

The hand-to-hand combat lasted for a full quarter of an hour, leaving Xiao Feng a bloody mess, nearly dead. His arms and legs were broken, a massive hole ripped through his chest, and his lower body from the waist down was battered to shreds. Meanwhile, Liu Xing's spiritual energy had finally been drained, and he sat on the ground, gasping for breath. The battle had been incredibly difficult, the disparity in realms causing him immense suffering. Fortunately, he benefited from his magical body, and emerged victorious.

Xiao Feng's eyes were hollow. This loss wasn't unfair. The opponent's consciousness and magical power were comparable to his own, and his magical body was even more powerful. It was just that his realm was not as high as his, and he was afraid of the power of his magic weapon. Otherwise, the confrontation wouldn't have been so difficult. If the opponent was also at the Jindan realm, he might not have lasted more than ten moves against him.

The gap in realm will lead to a gap in the strength of the soul, which cannot be easily compensated. Xiao Feng's mouth curved into a strange arc, and he was performing a secret technique to release his soul from his body. Liu Xing, who was sitting nearby, was still silently recovering his vitality, knowing nothing about it.

Under the stimulation of the secret technique, Xiao Feng's soul was slowly leaving his tattered body. He sneered silently and pounced on Liu Xing who was sitting beside him, and entered Liu Xing's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant.

The golden silkworm Gu in Liu Xing's dantian immediately woke up and made an urgent shrill sound to warn Liu Xing.

"Pangpang, what's wrong?" Liu Xing was confused and was about to ask, but Pangpang had already teleported into the master's sea of ​​consciousness. This was because the master and servant were connected by blood.

At this time, in Liu Xing's sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Feng's soul was a circle larger than Liu Xing's soul. He was staring at Liu Xing with a fierce look, waiting for an opportunity to devour the other party.

"Possession of another's body?!" Liu Xing was startled, and he instantly thought of the descriptions of possession of another's body in the books.

Before achieving the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator's primordial spirit is extremely fragile. It cannot remain suspended in midair for long and will automatically dissipate. To survive, the primordial spirit must be anchored in a physical object, and the best anchor is one's own body. If their body loses its vitality, a cultivator can use secret techniques to allow their primordial spirit to leave their body. This spirit can then find another body to carry it before dissipating, allowing it to continue living in the world.

If there is a soul in the new body, then the invader can only devour the other party's soul to seize control of the body. This is the famous "possession of body" in the world of immortal cultivation.

Possession of another's body is not something that can be done casually. First of all, one must practice the corresponding secret technique to achieve the soul leaving the body. This secret technique is extremely precious. Liu Xing has read so many books, but he has never encountered such a technique. Secondly, there are three iron laws in the world of immortal cultivation:

First, you can only seize the body of a lower realm, not a higher realm. Otherwise, you will be swallowed by the other party instead of being able to seize the body.

Secondly, a cultivator can only possess another body once in his lifetime. If the physical body is destroyed again, the soul will also dissipate.

Third, it is impossible to take over the body of a mortal. Mortals do not have spiritual roots and cannot withstand the soul of an immortal cultivator, so their bodies will collapse.
