Chapter 217 – Possessing

The Nascent Soul had no choice. It had to get rid of Leyvi's spiritual imprint first to take possession of Mr. Bison's body.

It had already abandoned Dorin's body, so all the progress it had made so far was gone. It would be a waste of time if it went back to her only to start over.

So, it decided to go all in with the plan. Once it destroyed the spiritual imprint, Leyvi would experience backlash from the destruction and probably wouldn't be able to react in time.

It just had to possess Mr. Bison fast enough to at least gain control of his mobility and escape from the city to develop elsewhere.

With the Heavenly Diamond Lord Body, it was sure it could dominate any hunting ground and hunt other demonic beasts for their cores. This was an advantage of being a demonic beast. It didn't have to learn any complicated methods or techniques to grow stronger, but simply devour others' demonic cores. When it reached Commander Level, its bloodline would awaken and gain bloodline abilities, becoming far stronger!

While staring at the glowing spiritual imprint in the middle of the sea of consciousness, multiple tendrils grew from the Nascent Soul. It intended to destroy the imprint in a single strong attack, as that would result in greater backlash to the owner.

The tips of the tendrils gathered closely, and a mass of energy began to accumulate at the center. It was power derived from the soul and could be used against spiritual entities.

A Nascent Soul without a body was definitely considered weak, as its soul power wasn't effective against physical entities—there was no doubt about it. But once it successfully invades someone's sea of consciousness, its soul power could affect spiritual entities, such as the spiritual imprint.

A few minutes later, the Nascent Soul had finished condensing its soul power. The ball of soul energy pulsated as if trying to escape its grasp.

Then, with a shriek of malevolence, it unleashed the full might of its attack—a beam of destructive soul energy aimed directly at Leyvi's spiritual imprint. The sound of the release reverberated within the sea of consciousness, a chilling echo of its intent.

Bzzzz!

The beam of soul energy immediately engulfed Leyvi's spiritual imprint, intending to eradicate it completely.

The Nascent Soul waited patiently for its attack to dissipate, but a few moments later, something unbelievable—something that would make it question reality—happened. Its confidence turned into dread as the truth unraveled.

As soon as its attack dissipated, a perfectly fine spiritual imprint showed itself completely unscathed. A moment later, Leyvi's imprint glowed brightly as if activated. The glow seemed to mock the Nascent Soul's efforts, emanating an aura of invincibility.

Its soul attack had failed completely.

What?? No! This shouldn't be happening! It's just a mere spiritual imprint! How could it resist my soul attack?

Oh shit! Don't tell me this is not Leyvi's spiritual imprint but a Soul Formation or Soul Transformation expert's spiritual imprint? This was the only possible explanation for the failure!

Oh no! Why is this happening to me? I was so sure that Leyvi was the tamer of this bison.

While the Nascent Soul was panicking, Leyvi, who was getting ready to enter seclusion, sensed something happening to his spiritual imprint. This was the first time something like this had ever happened so he was curious. He immediately closed his eyes to focus, and an image of a soul-like entity attacking him with a beam appeared in his mind.

"What the heck! A ghost attack! Mr. Bison is in danger!" Leyvi opened his eyes again and exclaimed.

Leyvi quickly pinpointed Mr. Bison's position after spreading his spiritual sense, and he rushed to him outside.

As he arrived, he saw Mr. Bison completely unconscious on the ground.

"Oi lawnmower! Wake up! Are you all right? There's a ghost in you. You need to chase it out!" Leyvi said while shaking his body.

However, Mr. Bison was unresponsive. Leyvi tried to wake him up a few more times, but he still didn't show any sign of waking up.

"Shit, this must be the ghost's doing. I need to call the others for help. Maybe they will know what to do," he said and turned around.

All of a sudden, a soul-like entity shot out of Mr. Bison's head toward Leyvi, who had just turned around. The movement was quick and silent like a predator lunging at its prey.

It was the mysterious Nascent Soul!

To avoid being exposed, it had no choice but to change its target to Leyvi. It had observed Leyvi in the past few days and couldn't deny that he was a very strong cultivator, far above what a cultivator of his level should be able to do.

He wouldn't be a bad choice to possess as well. However, it was still a pity that it couldn't possess Mr. Bison and take over the Heavenly Diamond Lord Body.

Soon, it forced its way into Leyvi's sea of consciousness.

Since Leyvi was still awake, it had no choice but to confront him directly and put him to slumber with force. The Nascent Soul knew that this task would be challenging, but it had no other options left.

However, the moment it entered Leyvi's sea of consciousness, it knew it had messed up. The sea of consciousness was so vast it couldn't believe it. It immediately turned around to escape the sea of consciousness but for some reason, it couldn't. Then, realization dawned in. That was right, the owner was awake and it wasn't in control of the sea of consciousness. It then tried again to open the way out with brute soul force, but it still failed.

How? How is this the sea of consciousness of a Foundation Building brat? So the abnormally strong spiritual imprint in Mr. Bison's sea of consciousness was his all along, not some Soul Formation expert's. It's over. The realization hit like a sledgehammer, and despair began to creep in.

Not only was it vast, but it was also fluctuating with an aura that it rarely encountered when it still had a body.

The aura of Dao!

Did he receive enlightenment like his wife too?

Oh no! I shouldn't have been so greedy. I should have just stayed in Dorin's body and enjoyed the resources while growing stronger. This family is too abnormal!

The Nascent Soul was full of regret. It had gambled everything on this plan, and now it was staring at the possibility of complete annihilation.

"So, are you a ghost? Are you trying to possess me? Why do you feel so weak?"

A huge avatar of Leyvi appeared in the extremely vast sea of consciousness, asking questions while scrutinizing the puny Nascent Soul that had just intruded.

Leyvi hadn't felt this way when he saw the ghost through the spiritual imprint previously. It hadn't seemed this small and powerless. But now Leyvi felt he could just flick the ghost to death.

"I'm not a ghost. I am a Nascent Soul," it replied respectfully.

It realized that the only way for it to survive now was to be as obedient as it could. Although it was humiliating for someone who used to be a Nascent Soul expert to act humbly like this, it had no other choice. It knew Leyvi could obliterate it with just a slap. Survival was its only priority.

"A Nascent Soul? A Nascent Soul looks like this? So small. I didn't know that," Leyvi continued scrutinizing the puny entity.

"No, I only appear small in here because your consciousness is much greater than mine."

"Is that so? That's weird." Leyvi felt confused by the situation. Wasn't a Nascent Soul's consciousness supposed to be stronger than a Foundation Building realm like his?

"I'm not sure why either."

"So why were you trying to possess Mr. Bison and then me?" Leyvi continued.

It was a good thing that his consciousness was much stronger than the Nascent Soul's, or he would have been possessed.

Things might have been dangerous for his family.

"I needed a talented body to grow stronger and take revenge." the Nascent Soul confessed. Its tone was subdued, almost pleading, as it tried to justify its actions.

"You were aiming for Mr. Bison's Heavenly Diamond Lord Body?" Leyvi was slightly surprised. It was actually willing to live as a demonic beast just for revenge. Is this person a real protagonist? No no no. Evil villains will take revenge too.

The Nascent Soul made a nodding gesture. It lacked a physical body, but its movements within the sea of consciousness conveyed its acknowledgment.

Leyvi felt that the Nascent Soul was crazy. Didn't it know that Mr. Bison was a delusional creature? You might get his stupidity first rather than his special body.

Wait a minute. Leyvi realized something. A sudden thought crossed his mind, connecting the dots from recent events.

"Did you possess that stupid girl Dorin previously?" Leyvi's avatar raised his eyebrow.

"I did. But don't worry, she will wake up in a few days after her sea of consciousness reverts to normal," the Nascent Soul explained hurriedly. It feared that Leyvi might react violently if he believed any lasting harm had come to Dorin.

Leyvi frowned. Did this Nascent Soul have a tendency to possess stupid people? First Dorin, then it went after Mr. Bison, and then... fuck! This puny thing thought that he was stupid too. The realization hit him hard, and a flicker of annoyance crossed his face.

Leyvi immediately extended his arm and grabbed the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul felt despair. Had it said something wrong and offended him? It felt powerless in Leyvi's grasp. The thought of dying made it regret many things.

"Oi, Nascent Soul, do you think I'm stupid?" Leyvi asked, his face close to it. The puny Nascent Soul was only as big as his nail, a stark contrast to Leyvi's imposing avatar.
