Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1736: 440: Nascent Soul Possession! Core Formation Ninth Layer! (3)

Every ounce of obsession, consciousness, and the primal urge to survive was overwhelmed by a monstrous pressure. His unyielding willpower dissolved into nothingness like smoke and clouds, leaving his sea of consciousness a desolate void.

In the path of absolute power, even the firmest resolve proves to be in vain.

As Lu Ping’an’s awareness flickered on the edge of extinction, a voice resonated from the deepest part of his soul.

"Ping’an!"

The voice was gentle yet carried an unmistakable authority. Lu Ping’an knew it well; it was the voice of Lu Changsheng, his father.

"Father..."

He struggled to answer, but a crushing exhaustion weighed him down. It felt as though he were buried at the bottom of a boundless abyss, rendering him unable to utter a single word.

"Ping’an, your mother has faith in you. Don’t ever surrender; she knows you can succeed..."

A different voice, tender but laced with a hint of sternness and profound affection, drifted through his mind. This was his mother, Lu Lanshu.

"Big brother has successfully achieved Foundation Establishment! With a two-hundred-year lifespan, he is now a legendary Immortal..."

"Decades have passed and big brother hasn't aged at all, while we have grown old. Come here, Qing’er, greet your uncle."

"Big Pot, keep fighting! Duck!"

"Lu Ping’an, you must exercise more caution...."

A chorus of voices flooded Lu Ping’an’s mind. Shadows of familiar people seemed to materialize within the infinite darkness of the void, cheering for him and refusing to let him succumb to the dark.

During this spiritual trial, a mysterious force bolstered his consciousness. It forced his soul to condense, physically rending the abyss of death that threatened to swallow him.

"I cannot die here! I refuse to fall!"

A single, desperate thought consumed Lu Ping’an. He struggled violently, determined to shatter the terrifying void that sought to consume him.

"This is impossible!?"

Deep within Lu Ping’an’s Sea of Consciousness, a tiny, golden Nascent Soul figure cried out in shock.

He realized that not only was Lu Ping’an’s soul resisting the possession, but a terrifying, rule-based power was actively dissolving his Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

He tried to suppress and refine the boy’s spirit, but his efforts were useless.

"Who is this child? What on earth is happening!"

The golden Nascent Soul figure’s eyes widened in horror as a thin crack, like those on fine porcelain, appeared across his Spirit Body.

The fracture intensified instantly. A soul form began to literally tear at his Nascent Soul manifestation.

He exhaled a cloud of Nascent Soul Essence Energy to dispel the soul form, but it reformed in a heartbeat, shattering his Spirit Body further.

"Hahaha! It seems Heaven itself demands my end, Yu Tiansheng!"

"Boy, I do not know your secrets, but since you possess such an indestructible soul and harbor forbidden power, I shall grant you my inheritance and my Undying Golden Body."

"Once you inherit my legacy, your name will shake the world, and my enemies will surely seek you out! I hope you remain as stubborn then as you are now!"

The golden Nascent Soul figure could no longer maintain his form; the attempted body snatching had failed utterly.

Even if he managed to possess another, he would be stripped of his Nascent Soul and his chance for revenge.

Rather than fade into nothing, he chose to invest his remaining strength into a seed, hoping this youth would eventually avenge him.

The boy’s potential was so vast that even a Nascent Soul True Monarch could not fathom its limits!

As the boy grows and claims the inheritance, the old enemies will inevitably be drawn to him, lusting after the secrets of the golden body.

"A century of careful planning has turned to dust. I am truly unwilling!"

The golden Nascent Soul figure, now webbed with cracks, formed a complex Summoning Technique with his hands. His Origin Source ignited, forcibly reversing the flow of Lu Ping’an’s "Black Dragon Codex."

Bathed in the burning Nascent Soul Origin, the Black Dragon Dao Foundation within Lu Ping’an’s Qi Ocean Core began to crumble.

Simultaneously, the mangled and charred physical body resting in the Life Pool appeared to catch fire spontaneously!

Flesh and blood burned away under a network of shimmering silver runes.

As the flames subsided, shimmering golden substances manifested, merging into Lu Ping’an’s frame.

"Humph!"

Lu Ping’an groaned softly. His body was now coated in a brilliant golden luster, looking as though it had been forged from solid gold as he lay motionless in the pool.

His Black Dragon Magic Power began to trace a new path through his Meridians, redirected by the sacrifice of the Nascent Soul’s Origin Source. His original Black Dragon Dao Foundation shattered completely into fine dust.

His physical form began to vibrate with an inexplicable frequency as it absorbed the golden substance.

"Buzz!"

In response, his "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art" triggered automatically. Both the Great Desolate Dragon Spine and the Hope Gu stirred, assisting him in refining this massive influx of power.

...

At the Myriad Demon Abyss.

"The Nascent Soul Possession has ceased, but what is his status?"

Lu Changsheng examined the family ledger in his grip. He was certain that his son, Lu Ping’an, was no longer in danger of being possessed.

However, the current condition of his son remained a mystery.

While the family ledger could block soul searching and body snatching—even providing a degree of suppression—it lacked the power to completely destroy a Nascent Soul.

When he first unlocked this function, he found it to be a mix of useful and limited.

It could prevent the worst-case scenario of possession, but it couldn't always prevent the initial disaster.

"Damn it."

Lu Changsheng lost all interest in scavenging the Myriad Demon Abyss with the Gu God Bowl. He decided to head back immediately to see if the [Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror] could pinpoint Lu Ping’an’s location.

He only knew his son had been traveling toward Yue or Wu Country, but the exact destination was unknown.

"Ayoudo, something urgent has come up. I must return. We will resume the search for the Gu God Bowl when I have more time."

Lu Changsheng spoke to the Five Poisons Cult Leader, who was lounging nearby with a complexion as radiant as a peach.

"As you wish, my lord."

The Five Poisons Cult Leader did not press for details.

As a Sect leader herself, she understood the boundaries of what should be asked.

Since Lu Changsheng chose not to elaborate, she remained silent and obedient.
