Yuan Tian seemed to have finally remembered that Po Hun's soul was inside his body. What a muddleheaded fool.

Now that he had guessed why his soul was being attacked, he had to think of a solution. Yuan Tian secretly used a mystic technique, sending his consciousness into his own soul. The moment it merged with his soul, he saw a gray thing before him. Looking closely, wasn't that Po Hun?

"Hehe, kid, you didn't expect me to enter your body, did you? Surprised?" The moment Po Hun saw Yuan Tian's consciousness enter his soul, he knew he had been discovered. Since he had been discovered, he might as well greet him first, acting as though this were his home turf. Whose body was this, anyway?

"Hehe, I didn't expect it. I truly didn't expect it. Po Hun, you're fucking impressive. You actually broke through the double defenses of my body and Primordial Spirit to reach my soul layer. I have no choice but to admire you. Of course, what I most want to say now is this: even if you wanted to die, there was no need to be in such a hurry. You actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. For that, I welcome you!"

Yuan Tian truly had no idea how Po Hun had entered his soul layer. It was not as though any soul could simply slip into someone else's body. Leaving aside a cultivator's Primordial Spirit, even an ordinary person's body protected the soul. How could someone casually enter another's body? If that were possible, wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos?

Besides protecting its own soul, a person's body also repelled foreign souls. Thus, possession was not something one could accomplish merely by wishing for it. It was an extremely technical matter. When taking possession, one not only had to account for the host body's rejection, but also the resistance of the other party's soul. If things went badly, the possessor might instead be killed by the soul they sought to possess, disappearing from this world completely. Of course, if your soul was stronger than the host's, you could first erase the other party's soul consciousness with absolute strength, letting a magpie seize a dove's nest. As for the body's rejection of a foreign soul, you could slowly adapt after completing the possession, while allowing the body to gradually adapt to you as well. That required a period of adjustment. So long as the soul possession succeeded, none of that would be a problem.

"Kid, I won't trade insults with you. Keep me company and chat for a while first. I'm afraid you won't have time to speak later." Po Hun's mouth was as venomous as ever. He claimed he did not want to trade insults, yet he was plainly looking for a quarrel.

"No problem. I'll be a good man to the end and chat with you. Otherwise, it won't be that I don't want to speak—it'll be that you can no longer open your mouth." Yuan Tian naturally would not show weakness and immediately struck back. Trading insults was just wasting spit. He could play that game all day.

"Soul Devouring!!!" Huh? It seemed Po Hun was resorting to the same old trick again, suddenly launching an attack on Yuan Tian while they were talking.

"Hmph, Po Hun, I knew you would use this move. Can't you change things up? You sneak attack every single time. Can't you try something fresh? Nine-Turn Soul Art: Nine Soul Turns!" It seemed Yuan Tian had never relaxed his guard against Po Hun. Po Hun had barely made his move before Yuan Tian followed with one of his own. Could it be that this fellow had long been preparing to strike first and scheme against Po Hun? Well, given Yuan Tian's personality, that was entirely possible. Hehehe...

In truth, Yuan Tian's soul strength was absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary Quasi-Sage. This was because the cultivation art he had created contained a method specifically for cultivating the soul, and he had never stopped practicing it, making his soul incomparably formidable. Most Primordial Wilderness beings, meanwhile, had no soul-cultivation techniques, much less laws that stood a level above techniques. Soul Law was not something just anyone could comprehend. Most cultivators mainly cultivated the Primordial Spirit, then used their Primordial Spirit cultivation to bolster the strength of their souls. How could such a passive increase in soul strength compare to Yuan Tian's actively cultivated power? It was only natural that Yuan Tian's soul was stronger than others'.

If soul strength were also divided into ranks, then ordinary people who had never cultivated could be called Rank One, the lowest rank. Below Mortal Immortals, those who had reached the Spirit Division Realm could be called Rank Two. At that stage, one could cultivate a Primordial Spirit and "upgrade" one's soul strength. Above Earth Immortals but below the Taiyi Realm, one could be called Rank Three; having entered the immortal ranks, one's soul strength strengthened again. Souls at the Taiyi Realm could be called Rank Four; souls at the Great Luo Realm, Rank Five; Quasi-Sages, Rank Six. In truth, a Sage's soul was not vastly stronger than a Quasi-Sage's soul, so for the time being, it could be called Rank Seven.

Because of his cultivation art, Yuan Tian's soul was currently at the sixth rank—Rank Six. It could be said to be the highest level at present. In an era when Sages had yet to appear, it was difficult to find any being who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Tian in terms of soul strength. Unfortunately, Yuan Tian had now encountered one—and that being was even preparing to take possession of his soul. Needless to say, it was Po Hun.

Po Hun was one of those extremely rare individuals. He was proficient in Soul Law. Very few in the Primordial Wilderness could comprehend Soul Law, let alone master it. With Po Hun's current soul strength, he definitely belonged to Rank Six, the same rank as Yuan Tian. Once again, they were about to witness a battle of dragons and tigers.

Speaking of which, Yuan Tian held the advantage in this battle against Po Hun. After all, this was his home turf. He had the home-field advantage.

No battle of dragons and tigers was seen. All that could be seen were two souls standing motionless, staring at each other. As for the secret techniques they were using, sorry, Wo You could not make out how they were being used. Were they kidding? If they were going to fight, they should fight properly! What was this supposed to be? How was he supposed to know how things were progressing? And if he did not know the progress, how could he report on it? They truly had no professional spirit at all.

Who knew how much time passed before the two soul bodies finally showed some movement. More accurately, it was Po Hun's soul body that moved.

Po Hun's soul body, whose features had originally been clear, gradually blurred. In the end, all that remained visible was a mass of gray "soul mist." Slowly, that gray soul body "drifted" toward Yuan Tian's soul body, which still showed no movement whatsoever. The two finally came into contact. Gradually, Po Hun's mass of soul body actually merged into Yuan Tian's soul body. The two soul bodies fused together, continuously changing amid the fusion. At last, the changes stopped. The soul body gradually became one, leaving only a single soul body belonging to Yuan Tian. It was not the new soul body or the two soul bodies they had imagined before. Yet Yuan Tian still did not seem to have awakened.
