In the spacious grand hall, an eerie, ghostly green light flickered in Lu Cheng's eyes, making people shiver involuntarily.

Rumble, rumble.

The next moment, an extremely violent Celestial Spirit surged from within Lu Cheng's body, forming five Celestial Spirit Vortexes behind him, resembling black holes that devoured everything.

"Too weak, this guy's body is simply too weak, only at the Fifth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, but it's enough to crush this ant to death." Lu Cheng said coldly, with utmost disdain in his expression, looking at Ye Chen as if looking at an ant that could be crushed at will.

He could sense that Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the First Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

This kind of trash doesn't even deserve him to use the power of his Divine Soul to kill.

One must know, his Divine Soul Origin has been greatly depleted over the years, and if he continues to use the power of the Divine Soul, he might face annihilation at any moment.

Previously, the reason he used the power of the Divine Soul to devour the souls of the crowd was to quickly replenish his exhausted soul power.

Now, his soul power had been restored to a certain extent, allowing him to possess again.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would not continue to use the power of the Divine Soul to kill the Human Race.

This is also why he chose to spare Lin Man.

It was not because of mercy, but because he disdained using the power of the Divine Soul to kill an ant like Lin Man.

"Once this ant is crushed to death, I can leave this cave mansion. Give me some time, and I can restore my Divine Soul Origin. By then, I'll be able to use the power of the Divine Soul freely." Lu Cheng's mouth curled into a sinister smile as he flashed towards Ye Chen.

Swish.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Cheng's body appeared dozens of meters away from Ye Chen, brandishing a scarlet spear in his hand, continuously thrusting at Ye Chen.

"Huh? Why is his strength so weak?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

He originally thought that after Lu Cheng's corpse was possessed by that demon soul, his power would certainly skyrocket.

But unexpectedly, his combat power was no different from when he was alive, posing no threat to Ye Chen.

"It seems that this demon soul's Divine Soul Origin is already greatly depleted, and he dares not easily use the power of the Divine Soul. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to use this shell to kill you." The Tower Spirit suddenly realized and said to Ye Chen.

"I see, then I have no reason to fear him." As the thought crossed Ye Chen's mind, brilliant seven-colored light erupted from his entire body. He swung his fist, meeting Lu Cheng's spear.

With a loud bang.

The next moment, Lu Cheng's spear was instantly shattered by Ye Chen.

Even Lu Cheng's body was struck by Ye Chen's fist, exploding in midair into a cloud of blood mist.

One must know, Ye Chen had just used the physical power of twenty-nine thousand tigers, not to mention human flesh and blood, even the extremely hard Profound Iron could be shattered.

"Huh? This ant's physical body is surprisingly strong." As Lu Cheng's body was blown apart, a cyan demon glow suddenly emerged from the blood mist, floating in the grand hall, speaking in extreme shock.

He had seen countless Human Race geniuses.

But those who, like Ye Chen, had a physical body strength of twenty-nine thousand tigers at such a young age were extremely rare.

Even some naturally physically powerful geniuses among their Demon Race couldn't compare to Ye Chen.

How could he not be shocked?

"So, this is his true form." At this moment, Ye Chen stared fiercely at that cyan demon glow, his expression extremely solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

This time, he unexpectedly saw a bizarre demon soul within that cyan demon glow.

This demon soul had a human body, but it was covered in cyan fur all over, with even its hands grown into incredibly sharp claws.

Moreover, it had a fox's head, its mouth full of sharp fangs, looking particularly fierce.

The appearance of this demon soul was eerily similar to that demon race corpse in the bronze coffin, as if it came from the same origin.

"It seems that the Tower Spirit's guess was correct, this demon soul should be the Three-tailed Cyan Fox. Unexpectedly, Carefree Wanderer paid the price of his life to suppress him back then, yet he still managed to escape by a stroke of luck." Ye Chen sighed in his heart.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, unexpectedly, you weak human reptile is such a rare physical refinement prodigy. Your body is of great use to me. Stay for me today." The demon soul of the Three-tailed Cyan Fox sneered, looking at Ye Chen as if seeing an unparalleled treasure.

Now, his physical body had decayed for many years, rendering it unusable.

Therefore, he urgently needed a new physical body.

And the young cultivators who entered this cave mansion were all extremely weak, unable to catch his eye at all.

Only Ye Chen's physical body made him exceptionally satisfied.

It should be known that back in the day, not only was his Divine Soul extremely powerful, but his physical body was also quite formidable among the Demon Race.

If he wanted to return to his peak state, a physical body with immense potential was undoubtedly crucial.

And Ye Chen's physical body, coincidentally met his requirements, naturally making him eager to possess it.

"As of now, though I have yet to step into the Possession Realm and cannot seize another's body, I can keep this ant's body nearby, and once I reach the Possession Realm, I can use it immediately!" the Three-tailed Cyan Fox mused inwardly, eyes filled with intense greed.

The Possession Realm is the sixth realm of the Divine Soul.

Cultivation up to this realm allows one, even if their physical body is destroyed, to seize another's body, fully transforming them into one's own, thus achieving resurrection.

Yet, the Three-tailed Cyan Fox's Divine Soul has yet to reach this realm.

However, he can still select a suitable physical body in preparation for future possession.

"Tower Spirit, what should we do now? Should I really hide inside the Human Emperor's Space?" Ye Chen's brows tightly knitted, his expression turning unprecedentedly grave.

Although the Three-tailed Cyan Fox's Demon Soul had already left Lu Cheng's body and could no longer use Lu Cheng to attack him.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen felt an intense death threat emanating from the opponent.

Understandably, the opponent's Divine Soul Realm had already reached the fifth layer Possession Realm, countless times stronger than Ye Chen.

Even though his Divine Soul Origin was approaching exhaustion, his combat power fell far short of its peak.

Still, he posed a tremendous threat to Ye Chen.

"Master, if you hide inside the Human Emperor's Space, this Three-tailed Cyan Fox is even less likely to let you go. He will surely wait until you emerge from the Human Emperor's Space; now, we must find a way to escape this hall." Tower Spirit shook his head.

Though the Human Emperor's Space can save Ye Chen temporarily, it cannot save him eternally.

After all, Ye Chen was still merely a mortal; even hiding inside the Human Emperor's Space would scarcely be sustainable.

And if he accidentally exposed the secret of the Human Emperor's Space to this Three-tailed Cyan Fox, it would certainly drive him mad.

At that time, the opponent would spare no effort to wait for Ye Chen to emerge from the Human Emperor's Space.

"His Divine Soul is so powerful, escaping seems nearly impossible." Ye Chen's mouth was filled with a bitter smile.

Since receiving the Human Emperor's inheritance, he had never encountered such a severe crisis.

Although among the opponents he met, some had cultivation far exceeding his, it had never been this extraordinarily overwhelming.

If the Demon Soul of that Three-tailed Cyan Fox truly sought to kill him, he truly wouldn't know what to use against it.

"Master, the Divine Soul Origin of this Three-tailed Cyan Fox is nearly exhausted; he's too afraid to use overwhelmingly powerful Divine Soul abilities, moreover, his Soul Power is far from his peak, if you seize the opportunity, there's still hope to escape." Tower Spirit couldn't help but comfort Ye Chen.

In his view, having been trapped in the Cave Mansion of the Carefree Wanderer for so many years, this Three-tailed Cyan Fox's power had dwindled significantly.

Although he devoured numerous young cultivators' souls, it barely allowed him to recover a portion of his strength.

Moreover, his Divine Soul Origin was near exhaustion, he dare not recklessly use some potent Divine Soul Secret Techniques, as it could lead to utter annihilation at any moment.

Thus, Ye Chen still had a slim chance to survive.

Of course, this also represented a gigantic calamity for Ye Chen.

If he couldn't surpass this calamity, Ye Chen might indeed fall in this place.

At that time, who knows when the Supreme Human Emperor's inheritance would be acquired.

Tower Spirit wouldn't want to return to such a life of endless darkness.

"Tsk tsk tsk, ant, cease your futile struggles. Your body being favored by my Cyan Fox Demon King is a fortune born of ten lifetimes! Now, bow down and become my servant; that way, you can continue living." At this moment, the Demon Soul of the Three-tailed Cyan Fox suddenly sneered, speaking in an authoritative tone to Ye Chen.

As a Demon King with an extraordinarily powerful Divine Soul, he controlled numerous Divine Soul Secret Techniques.

Among them was a Divine Soul Secret Technique that could directly enslave other creatures, turning them into his servants.

These servants were absolutely loyal to him; if he wanted them to die, they'd hesitate not one bit.

Therefore, if he could turn Ye Chen into his servant, he could ensure Ye Chen's ongoing survival, even allowing him to continuously cultivate and strengthen.

One day, should his Divine Soul Realm enter the Possession Realm, he could directly seize Ye Chen's body.

"Damn, this fiend is truly sinister, actually wanting to turn the Master into a servant." Tower Spirit's body suddenly quivered, anger surging in his gaze.
