Chapter 494 - The Talent Dies Young (1/2)

Zhong Yue kept the willow leaf in dejection. It felt as if a huge chunk of his heart had been carved out with a blunt knife.

With Bi Xie sacrificing himself for his ancestor, Zhong Yue had lost a Fellow Daoist with whom he could walk alongside in his path of cultivation.

This would be the last battle he could ever have with Bi Xie.

From today onward, there would be no more Bi Xie, only the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor.

"Does it end just like this?"

Outside of the Lesser Void World, Mister Kun Da, Clan Master and the others were feeling empty as well. It was a great pleasure to witness the battle of the two strongest young cultivators. The battle had brought many inspirations to even the magnates like themselves.

This, was something that could never have happened!

From the past until now, since when could the younger cultivators bring inspiration to them? It was always the other way around, and now, the situation took a drastic turn.

"These two young supreme cultivators … what a pity that Bi Xie is going to be taken over by the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, to become the celestial emperor's second life." Zhurong Yanqin sighed with regret.

Such a young cultivator who had such strong achievements. Bi Xie could surely embrace a higher achievement than the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, and yet, Bi Xie decided to sacrifice himself for his ancestor's wish. This really didn't sit well with Zhurong Yanqin's.

"After this battle, where will they be in the Legendary Board?" A magnate suddenly asked.

Mister Kun Da instantly directed the divine mirror at the Legendary Board and a series of cold breathes could be heard from the crowd.

In the Legendary Board, Bi Xie and Zhong Yue's names had already overtaken the four ancient experts, taking the first and second place respectively!

But their names were still changing places continuously, sometimes Zhong Yue would rise to the first rank and sometimes Bi Xie.

This was because even the Lang Ya Board couldn't determine which of the two had higher talent.

"Bi Xie, do you have any wish you have yet to fulfil in this life?" Abruptly, the Warhorn flew out from Bi Xie's Yuan Shen secret realm. Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's voice could be heard saying.

"My grand ancestor." Bi Xie bowed at the Warhorn and he shook his head while saying, "My only wish was to battle with Brother Zhong, and it is now fulfilled. I have no regrets."

Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's Yuan Shen flew out from the Warhorn and entered Bi Xie's forehead.

Zhong Yue sighed deeply, but didn't intervene. Bi Xie was the direct descendant to Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, he had the celestial emperor's blood and was willing to sacrifice himself. He had no right to stop him.

Furthermore, with Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's capabilities, it wouldn't change anything if Zhong Yue were to step in. Thus, Zhong Yue could only stand and watch by the side.

Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's Yuan Shen was incredibly strong, Bi Xie's Yuan Shen couldn't even stand a chance in the face of his ancestor's strong Yuan Shen and would surely be crushed in an instant.

Bi Xie's spirit and soul would disperse into thin air and from then onward, Bi Xie would no longer exist.

After the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's Yuan Shen possesses the new body. He would have to get accustomed to the new mortal body and root his soul and spirit in it.

There were always risks in possession; it wasn't as simple as just taking over the mortal body. If one rashly took on a new body, the possibility of rejection was incredibly high.

This was all due to the incompatibilities between the possessor and the vessel. The greater the disparity between the two, the higher rate of failure.

If the possessed body came from a different race, then the possessor would have to spend more time in altering the body's bloodline and structure to fit itself.

Thus, possession normally only occurred between those who shared the same bloodline and cultivation technique. This would greatly increase the odds of success and would allow the possessor to avoid the effort of restructuring the host body.

This was also why Demon Saint possessed his disciple. His disciples cultivated his cultivation techniques, and possessing his disciple would allow him to synchronize with the body faster.

However, as they were not of the same race or same blood, the demon Saint had to go into seclusion to repurpose his new body for himself.

It was already close to a miracle for Tian Myriad Mother to be able to possess Shui Qingyan's body. Shui Qingyan and Tian Myriad Mother were two completely different beings with virtually no similarities between them; one was a human and the other was a demon. They even had differing cultivation techniques. Thus, Tian Myriad Mother used a long time to get accustomed to Shui Qingyan's mortal body, still not being able to gain full control even prior to her death.

This was why Tian Myriad Mother's prowess was weaker than her spiritual form; the mortal body restricted her prowess.

On the other hand, Bi Xie was of the same bloodline as the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, and he shared the same cultivation technique. Hence, the process was significantly smoother for the Bi Xie Emperor.

Zhong Yue closely watched Bi Xie. As soon as he saw Bi Xie's eyes dim, Zhong Yue sighed in his heart and walked away.

Bi Xie was gone, now, there was only Bi Xie Celestial Emperor.

The other Qi Practitioners were also rushing out from the Lesser Void World at the same time. Suddenly, the heaven and earth changed, and the Lang Ya Board shuddered violently. The other four boards had also shrunk into banners and they slashed down at the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor!

Zhong Yue's face has changed drastically. The Lesser Void World started to crack and the dimensional barrier began to crumble away!

The surrounding had suddenly become so huge. Outside of the cracked sky, two 10,000 feet long fire dragons rushed in. Two dragons eight claws, each clawing one side of a eight-legged cauldron as they rammed over at the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor!

The cauldron had eight copper dragon sculptures engraved on it, and as of now, the copper dragons had also awakened. They soared and pounced down at the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor!
