Even though it seemed ordinary, the Blade Soul within Su Changkong’s Sea of Consciousness trembled subtly, conveying an instinctive yearning.
Xia Yanjie looked at the small jade bottle and said, "Elder Blade, this is the ’Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid.’ It is concocted mainly from Soul Nourishing Flowers and nourishes the soul. Only in Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands can these Soul Nourishing Flowers be planted and cultivated. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Our Xia Yan family also has only a few portions of this liquid… As for whether Hong Zhenxiang will be successful, it all depends on him."
"Mmm… Thank you."
Su Changkong nodded.
The value of this Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid was such that it could lead to a Soul Transformation. For a Martial Artist like Duanmu Tao, who had perfected his Blade Intent, obtaining a portion of the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid would almost certainly guarantee the reshaping of the Blade Soul!
As for whether Hong Zhenxiang could use it to undergo his transformation and be reborn anew, it would be left to his own fate. Do what you can, and leave the rest to destiny!
Su Changkong had done all that he could.
Afterward, Xia Yanjie approached Pang Shengwu and slowly tilted the bottle, allowing drops of the colorless, seemingly nothingness-like Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid to trickle down, landing on Pang Shengwu’s forehead, slowly permeating inside, and reaching the Sea of Consciousness!
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, two entwined souls, like starving ghosts that had been hungry for a long time, instinctively sucked in and digested the incoming Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid upon seeing it.
Both Pang Shengwu and Hong Zhenxiang’s souls could absorb the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid, but Hong Zhenxiang’s advantage was that he could undergo the step of Soul Transformation!
Pang Shengwu had used the Demon Art ’Reincarnation’ multiple times. His soul was already damaged and fragmented. Even with the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid, he could not undergo Soul Transformation and enter the Soul Realm.
Therefore, even though both were refining the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid, the advantage lay heavily in favor of Hong Zhenxiang.
After pouring an entire bottle of Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid from the physical body’s forehead into the Sea of Consciousness, all Su Changkong could do was wait. From time to time, he used his Blade Soul to probe and sense the situation within Hong Zhenxiang’s Sea of Consciousness.
If Pang Shengwu ended up winning, Su Changkong would not hesitate to tear him to shreds!
In the Sea of Consciousness of Hong Zhenxiang, the two souls fiercely drew on the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid that entered, unwilling to yield to each other, and in the process, they tore at and fought one another in a life and death struggle!
It was either your death or my demise. The loser would become nourishment for the other.
As time ticked by, initially, Pang Shengwu held the upper hand, but as time passed, his soul strength reached its limit. His damaged soul meant that he would struggle with transformation for a lifetime.
Hong Zhenxiang’s soul, meanwhile, continued to refine the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid, gradually growing stronger, eventually matching and even beginning to overpower Pang Shengwu!
"Pang Shengwu... I will tear you to a thousand pieces!" Hong Zhenxiang’s soul roared and howled.
For Hong Zhenxiang, the enmity he felt towards Pang Shengwu was deep, desiring nothing less than to flay and debone him. These years had been like hell for Hong Zhenxiang, and now, at last, there was a chance for revenge.
The two souls fought madly.
"Ahhhh! Hong Xiang! You mere junior, dare to oppose your superior? I will tear you apart!" Pang Shengwu was driven mad, unwilling to be dressed for the benefit of another, and fought back furiously.
A month later, within Hong Zhenxiang’s Sea of Consciousness, the two souls battled so fiercely the Sea of Consciousness seemed about to rip apart. Neither side would back down; in such a situation, they would rather be destroyed together than allow the other to succeed and become the other’s nourishment.
Although Pang Shengwu fought back desperately, Hong Zhenxiang absorbed more and more of the Soul Nurturing Spirit Liquid, growing stronger while Pang Shengwu fell behind, being nibbled away at, his soul becoming incomplete.
"No! I cannot accept this! You lowly... ant..."
Finally, Pang Shengwu’s soul gradually faded amidst unwilling roars and curses.
He, Pang Shengwu, had lived a long life, cultivated through arduous effort, but all of it was in vain, and everything he had accumulated was taken by a youngster who had never been seen as an opponent, had never been taken seriously by him. How could he accept this?
But no matter the lack of acceptance, Pang Shengwu, the old demon who had been reincarnated many times, ultimately perished completely!
The Sea of Consciousness quieted down, leaving only Hong Zhenxiang’s soul growing increasingly robust.
Gradually, Hong Zhenxiang opened his eyes and saw Su Changkong.
Hong Zhenxiang said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Younger Brother Su... thank you..."
Hong Zhenxiang had awakened. He had torn and devoured Pang Shengwu’s soul, retaking control of his body.
Su Changkong also let out a sigh of relief, grateful that no complications had arisen. This was karmic retribution without delay.
Pang Shengwu had changed bodies multiple times, taking everything from others, but his ultimate fate was to be the bridal dress for someone else, ending up just as tragically as if he were killed directly!
"There’s no need for words... rest well."
Su Changkong shook his head, as Hong Zhenxiang had truly been reborn.
The current Hong Zhenxiang had gained everything that belonged to Pang Shengwu, and there was a chance he could reach realms that even Pang Shengwu could not in the future!
It is known that Pang Shengwu’s soul had been compromised and damaged due to the multiple reincarnations, whereas Hong Zhenxiang had no such worries. His potential now surpassed that of Pang Shengwu.
But Su Changkong couldn’t help feeling a twinge of apprehension. Although Hong Zhenxiang seemed normal for now, over time, due to the power of the Demon Monster, he could end up losing his true self and become another Pang Shengwu, someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and have no way back.
