Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 851 845: The Self Corpse, Battle for the Body

Has the Barren Domain already fallen?

Are five Demon Saints trying to unite forces to reclaim the Barren Domain?

Just as Jia Ren was about to leave, he was slightly taken aback, a look of joy appearing on his face.

The five Demon Saints launching an attack on the Barren Domain, this is a perfect opportunity.

Not only can he calmly sever his third self-corpse, but also obtain some enchanted items, shortening the time needed to reach the Great Roc Immortal's completion.

Once he slashes the self-corpse, he can advance directly to Space Dao Ancestor!

Whether his wish can be fulfilled depends on how smoothly the following actions proceed.

Jia Ren quietly left the area where the Demon Saints were gathering, flying in the direction away from the Barren Domain.

He confirmed the five Demon Saints hadn't noticed him, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he would wait for the right moment.

Time swiftly passed, and from afar, a tremendous roar was heard, like mountains collapsing and seas roaring.

In the sky, there were golden and red flames, twin fires running parallel, burning with a world-devouring and sea-boiling momentum, incinerating the firmament.

Countless corrupt and degenerative bizarre aurae confronted it, and a gigantic Flesh-Giant Tree sprouted, emerging from an illusory dream into reality.

More than ten distinct Grand Dao-level forces continuously erupted, triggering tides of annihilation, where they passed, the land perished, leaving a void of destruction and silence.

The startled magical beasts fled in all directions, akin to a chaotic beast tide.

Even though Jia Ren was extremely far away, he could still feel the terrifying force fluctuations reaching the edge of the Heavenly Marsh Domain, as if it was about to collapse along with it.

"Now it's the time!"

In the midst of the Demon Saints' chaotic battle, he waved and released a large number of Thousand Paths Heavenly Merchant Treasure Yuan Avatars, searching for enchanted items to refine.

Jia Ren was not in a hurry to steal the Corpse Severing Talisman from the river of past time to slash away the self-corpse.

The self-corpse is the strongest among the Three Corpses, and the most difficult to slash away, many Great Roc Immortals flip after slashing their self-corpse, completely replaced by their self-corpse.

Lessons from predecessors are there, relying solely on the Corpse Severing Talisman is not enough; preparations must be made to guard against the risk of flipping.

"God-guarding Heart-protecting Formation!"

Thousands of array plates flew out, transforming into the God-guarding Heart-protecting Formation.

This grand formation can stabilize the mind, making it difficult for external and internal demons to confuse, and makes possession by others difficult.

"Master, the formation is entrusted to you to control."

Jia Ren's thoughts moved, and Ancestor Ji Kong left the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, appearing before him.

The array plate of the God-guarding Heart-protecting Formation was handed to his master.

"Can I really do this?"

Ancestor Ji Kong took the array plate, his eyes showing confusion.

He had lost the Power of Laws and didn't believe a Loose Immortal could assist his disciple in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

"I have learned a lot of information through the various sects' records, the self-corpse can grasp all the abilities the original self can."

"It can control my avatars, and using an avatar to control the formation is not secure."

"I'm evenly matched with it, even slightly at a disadvantage."

Jia Ren had destroyed many sects, including ones at the Ancestor-Level of the Deceptive Path, leaving abundant records, with plenty of information related to slashing the Three Corpses.

Several records documented several pinnacle powerhouses of the Great Roc Immortal flipping on their self-corpse, failing to slash it, and being completely replaced by it, resulting in a drastic change in temperament.

The most astonishing part was the last sentence of the record: "Almost all Ancestors of Deceit fell into the Bizarre Path due to failing to slash the self-corpse, ending up possessed..."

Uncertain if this statement is true, it brought a considerable shock to him.

The Good Corpse and Evil Corpse have their own limitations, without complete acceptance by the body, but the Self-Corpse is different, all the means you master it can use...

Moreover, they possess innate special talents, which are capabilities even the original self hasn't mastered.

Slashing the self-corpse without preparation?

It's like courting disaster, wanting to be replaced by the self-corpse.

Of course, Jia Ren is not without advantages.

He can set up formations in advance, creating a favorable domain for himself, beyond the control of the self-corpse, to suppress it.

Jia Ren set up several formation sets targeting the mind, driven by Purple Immortal Jade, Ancestor Ji Kong only needed to control the core array plate.

As long as his master is not deceived by the language of the self-corpse, using the advantages of the formation and the Corpse Severing Talisman, slashing the self-corpse would not be difficult.

With everything prepared, Jia Ren solemnly instructed: "Master, no matter what, do not disconnect the formation, even if I call you."

"My life is entrusted to you, Master!"

Among everyone, the one he trusts the most is Ancestor Ji Kong.

Ancestor Ji Kong nodded solemnly, fully activating the formation, then positioned himself outside the protective formation, setting up a soundproof barrier, without communicating with his disciple.

Jia Ren had prepared measures, without hesitation.

The Time Law flowed, the river of time belonging to himself rapidly retreated, and the image of time ultimately froze on the scene of Samsara Buddha Ancestor slashing away his Evil Corpse with the Corpse Severing Talisman.

"Steal!"

An exotic power shimmered in Jia Ren's palm, acting upon time.

The next moment, a quaint and deeply textured gray talisman emerged in his palm.

A single fish for three uses!

This Corpse Severing Talisman is destined to help slash away the Three Corpses.

Threads of exotic power acted on himself, continuously generating mysterious force, constantly diversifying and emerging.

An unusual force rapidly generated, reviving at an astonishing speed, as if another self was waking up.

Unlike the Good and Evil Corpse's implication of good and evil, the Self-Corpse seems like another self.

Just born, the body produced a strong sense of rejection, about to treat the original self as an avatar and eject it out.

"Heavenly Demon from beyond, get out of my body!"

A roar echoed as the self-corpse fought with Jia Ren for control of the body.

Am I the Heavenly Demon from beyond?

Is this the self-corpse born from the earliest deceased Jia Ren?

I traveled here, occupied this body; from the other's perspective, I'm indeed... a Heavenly Demon from beyond.

I raised the realm to nearly the pinnacle of Daluo Golden Immortal, opening one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred Flesh and Blood Origin Realms, soon to ascend to Ancestor of Space, achieving the Chaos Sacred Body.

All my efforts aren't for you to pick the fruit.

No matter if you are the deceased Jia Ren, roll out of my body, this self-corpse born thereafter!

Jia Ren felt the birth of the self-corpse, and without hesitation, the gray knife formed from the Corpse Severing Talisman slashed down from above.

Just at this moment, a surge of consciousness erupted; he did not fall towards the controlled Corpse Severing Talisman but instead forcefully influenced the Power of Time and Heaven Stealing Law.

The two forces being influenced made the Corpse Severing Talisman from the past become illusory, ready to collapse and dissolve at any moment.

With both dwelling in one body, he would not be solely affected by the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force.

Only by expelling it outside will it be much easier to manage, reducing variables.

As soon as the self-corpse was born, it demonstrated far more troublesome abilities than the good corpse and evil corpse, attacking at the body's weak spot.

Without the Corpse Severing Talisman, the difficulty to expel the self-corpse soared.

Once restricted by it, actions would become difficult.

While entangled with the self-corpse, actively reporting to the Ancestor of Deceit will definitely result in mutual devastation with no one spared.

"Slash!"

Jia Ren was still stabilizing the Power of Time and Heaven Stealing Law to ensure the Corpse Severing Talisman under his control slashed down, not being destroyed halfway.

The gray Corpse Severing Blade slashed down with unstoppable stability.

As the sword blade approached the forehead...

"Get out of my body!"

The self-corpse roared at Jia Ren, a powerful repulsive force descended upon Jia Ren's divine soul and will, trying to forcibly expel him.

This force was far stronger than before, coming like a mountain avalanche and tidal wave.

The self-corpse had been hiding its power all along!

Influencing the Power of Time and the Heaven Stealing Law to destroy the Corpse Severing Talisman was just part of the plan.

The most important is to let oneself relax vigilance, kicking him out of the body at the critical moment.

Facing the sudden surge in repulsion, Jia Ren's soul body became unstable, and most of the divine soul power and will were forcibly ejected outside.

If not for arranging the God-guarding Heart-protecting Formation with precautions, he would be expelled by the self-corpse.

Once leaving the true self, the self-corpse will take over the body and Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force; even though he is the true self, he would be helpless to reverse the situation.

Moreover, losing the protection of the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, and weakened by the bizarre transformation of the Power of Laws, he would have no power to resist the self-corpse.

At that time, the self-corpse will kill the true self and completely replace him.

Fortunately, his arrangements worked, avoiding the danger of being replaced.

Jia Ren multitasked, with divine soul power and will returning to the body, controlling the gray blade to slash on the head.

Ah!

A tearing pain came, not only affecting the self-corpse but also affecting himself.

Unlike the previous good corpse and evil corpse, the one to be severed this time seems to be a part of the body itself.

"Is coexistence not possible?!"

"With my assistance, you can wield both..."

The self-corpse was about to tempt with the promise of wielding two Great Daos but stalled halfway.

Jia Ren never needed to care about the quantity of Power of Laws; ascending to the Ancestral Master Realm, he could also simultaneously wield multiple Great Daos...

Jia Ren's expression turned cold, controlling the Corpse Severing Blade to fall, continuously tearing the will.

While the self-corpse communicated with Jia Ren, the sound transmitted outside the Formation to Ancestor Ji Kong; his arranged soundproof barrier could not prevent the sound from entering.

"Master, save me!"

"I just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and was seized by an immortal path expert; otherwise, how could I ascend to Daluo Golden Immortal so quickly?"

"This is the only chance for your disciple to revive and return; only Master can help me..."

The self-corpse's voice carried a plea, seemingly touching Ancestor Ji Kong's softest heart.

My disciple was seized?

Ancestor Ji Kong was stunned, thoughts of Yu Lin, Zong Wu... Jia Ren flashed across his mind.

He thought of Jia Ren's terrifying cultivation speed.

In the Lower Realm, although the cultivation speed was amazing, it was still within an acceptable range.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, the cultivation speed was like a rocket, soon becoming the top powerhouse in the Immortal Realm, truly unbelievable.

I can save my disciple, help him return anew.

No! The disciple has no problem!

Otherwise, how could he lower himself to solve the bizarre demons of the Lower Realm? How could he wholeheartedly protect Lingbao Sect?

These aren't things an immortal Realm old monster would do!

Moreover, the disciple has given me the greatest trust, which I absolutely cannot betray!

"You wicked demon, do not attempt to deceive me!"
