Buzz!

Time seemed to stop, and in a place that the three elders could not see, there was an explosive shattering. The third-generation successor stopped and trembled, his destructive energy halting right before it could erupt.

”This… How?”

The three elders were all stunned.

They had all experienced the strength of this successor. His Origin Immortal Stellar Energy that could shatter mountains was simply unstoppable, and even when the three of them had attacked together, they had still been knocked away. Moreover, Wang Chong was suffering from his cultivation defect and could not move at this time.

But this existence akin to the god of death had suddenly stopped, turning into a statue.

”Could it be that he…”

Standing at the very back, the Lone Silence Ancestor stopped, his eyes twinkling. He seemed to think of something as he stared at the motionless successor, but the idea was so absurd that he didn't dare to believe it.

Whoosh!

There was a rush of air and an immense pull, and Wang Chong was drawn out from beneath the palm of the walking corpse.

”Chong-er, are you okay?” a concerned voice asked into Wang Chong's ear. The Demonic Emperor Old Man, having little time to ponder the change in the successor, had decided to 'save' Wang Chong first.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man's greatest concern was his inheriting disciple!

”Master, I'm fine.”

Wang Chong shook his head. His face was ghastly pale and his body was drenched in cold sweat.

”Chong-er, that Origin Immortal Art successor… you… just now… did you really…” the Wushang Village Chief faltered, taking back his white cane and coming forward. His eyes went back and forth between Wang Chong and the motionless successor.

As if understanding what the Wushang Village Chief was trying to say, Wang Chong looked up and gave a weak yet relaxed smile.

”Senior, Master, I truly have taken control of him!”

Buzz!

The air seemed to freeze. The three seniors who were close to Wang Chong's grandfather in age glanced speechlessly at each other, their bodies stiff.

Even the Demonic Emperor Old Man had a look of disbelief on his face. He had vaguely guessed as to what was going on, but to hear Wang Chong verify it was something else entirely.

”How is this possible?” the Wushang Village Chief blurted out, somewhat unable to control himself.

That was a disciple of the Origin Immortal Lord, a successor of the world's number one 'Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art'. Each one of these disciples had been an incredibly talented genius, a peerless existence.

This third-generation successor from the end days of the Eastern Han Dynasty had already been half a step into the Subtle realm, and he was much stronger than the other guardians encountered in this underground palace.

And the mysteries and strengths of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art had allowed his true strength to surpass other experts of the same level. Thus, even though the Demonic Emperor had fought with him for so long and with such great difficulty, he had still almost died.

But now, Wang Chong was saying that he had taken control over him.

He had taken control of this near-Subtle-realm expert, and he had done so while on the verge of falling apart from his cultivation defect.

A moment ago, the three of them had believed that Wang Chong would be killed.

Wang Chong smiled and began to explain what had happened. Wang Chong had seemingly performed a miracle, taking control of this terrifying expert that could oppose Subtle realm experts. It was truly a most praiseworthy deed.

But only Wang Chong knew just how close he had been to death.

Wang Chong's Psychic Energy barrage on the third-generation successor had not been very useful, and there had even been a moment where Wang Chong had begun to despair, believing that he really would die to the hands of this walking corpse.

But in the end, Wang Chong had managed to win.

In the end, a Psychic Seal from nearly one thousand years ago had not been able to stand up against the Psychic Energy of someone at his prime. The river of time had even ground away at the user of the seal, much less the seal itself.

Wang Chong's final victory had come to be because he had come to understand a certain principle as he battled with that seal.

Psychic Energy was also a type of power, and while the Psychic Seal on this successor was powerful, it did not possess limitless power. Each bit of its power consumed was power that it could not get back.
