Vather walked forwards and stepped into the portal. But before he left, he gazed back at David. A look of disdain and slight flashed across his face, yet he smirked and entered into the portal without hesitation.

David's mouth gaped open. 'Wasn't this old man Ouyang Fen too naive?' his eyes opened wide.

Vather explained that he wasn't the one who had memorised the heaven grade technique and the old man believed him and let him go.

The huge face of the old man in the sky slowly turned to face the dim light of the previous technique. The light remained unchanging, and neither was its light snuffed off.

Assuming Vather was truly the one who had memorised the technique, then the starlight of the previous technique would have totally been put out.

But as the old man looked at the light of the previous technique, a sinister smile formed on his lips as he slowly changed his direction, gazing towards David.

"Ahem! I know what this looks like, but I assure you, it's not like that, just I can explain." David smiled gently as he quickly spoke.

"Oh, you want to explain? Fine, you go ahead d explain how you stole my technique." old man Ouyang Fen all of a sudden appeared to have become extremely patient.

David took in a feel breathe, open his mouth and was prepared to fire up an excuse, a be wasn't.

But before he could do so, his pupils shrank. It was unknown when he, but a gigantic huge greenish skull had appeared right on top of him.

Boom!

The ground shattered and the wind howled. David's body was divided into three and they fled in three different directions.

"Old man! Don't be so unreasonable. I said I was going to explain!" David shouted, but he was relieved as he managed to escape the old man's sneak attack.

Yet, why was he feeling his body getting heavier? David's expression changed drastically. The old man hadn't pursued any of his two clones but had instead pursued his real body.

Changing his hand seals, he was about to swap bodies with his clone when he found out he couldn't move his body at all.

His eyes widened. But even when he struggled, he wasn't able to move a single muscle. The old man cackled and as he appeared before David in his soul body form.

"Never in all my life would I have witnessed someone memorising a heaven grade technique in the span of seven months." He shook his head sideways, expressing his disbelieve.

Then his expression turned serious. "Did you perhaps also comprehend the technique?" As soon as the old man asked the question, he laughed mocking at himself.

"Perhaps my many years in this place is starting to turn me crazy."

David opened his eyes widely as though saying 'You are already insane old man.'

"Enough is enough, my perfect vessel escaped, leaving me with no choice but to choose you as my vessel."

The old man frowned deeply. "Your innate talent is extremely low. How I'm I supposed to manage this that lacks potential?"

If eyes could kill, David would have killed the old man a thousand times. 'You want my body and you dare to complain about my potential!?'

"No worries, although I would probably use thrice the resources, now that I have a body prepared, I guess I should be happy."

The man then smiled kindly as he faced David, stroking his beards softly. "Now, I advise you to relax. This will only take a moment, I promise it won't hurt at all."

Right as the words escapes his lips, the old man's figure started to flicker in and out of existence as he muttered several incantations with his mouth.

The heavens rumbled and the earth raged. It was as though they were angry about something, but was helpless about it.

The old man turned into a ray of light and softly moved towards David. David was helpless and defenceless. He could only watch with wide eyes as the old man turned into a ray of light and penetrate through his skull.

Rumble!

It was as though he had been struck by lightning! His body shivered uncontrollably as though he was having a massive seizure.

The old man suddenly found himself in a dark space, surrounding him was darkness. 'Now, all I have to do is find where he is subconsciously hiding his soul, consume it and then take over this body.'

Although he was dissatisfied with the body, there wasn't much of a choice. Searching deeper in the darkness, he finally found a giant door. The door was huge, like one used to cage huge monsters.

Although it was slightly different than usual, different people, have different things to lock down their subconsciousness.

Old man Ouyang Fen smiled widely and opened the door. Although it seemed tightly locked, there wasn't a door he couldn't open.

He opened the door and closed it himself. He didn't want David to escape during the possession. If he did, it would be quite difficult to find him again since the brain was already well aware of the threat and would try its best to defend its self.

Finally, within the subconscious, the old man looked around. He saw that he was within some sort of royal throne room that seem even luxurious than kings'.

"Welcome." Old man Ouyang Fen was in thought when he suddenly headed a voice boomed in his soul form.

Ouyang Fen snapped his attention forwards and what he saw made his mind truly chaotic.

Before he was a young man, seated in a large throne chair. His eyes were filled with absolute coldness and indifference as he leaned back in his throne with his crown tilted slightly.

Beside the young man were three other smaller throne chairs made of pure gold and diamond. Seated on the young man's right hand was a beautiful lady whose face was stiff as though she was a robot.

On the other two seats, the two other people did not seem to be human at all. One had pupils as golden as the sun itself, gazing at him with an hunger that looked as though it would swallow him in one gulp but that would be barely enough to satiate its hunger.

The other monster had pupils as red and crimson as blood as it stared at him with an uncomfortable amount of calmness that shook him to the core.

"W-what is this?" Old man Ouyang staggered backwards in fear as he gazed at what seemed to be David's subconscious.

"I've been expecting you." The young man looked exactly like David, but such sinister waves it radiated was enough to startle an old monster like Ouyang Fen.

'David' stood up with a smile. "You're quite difficult to deal with."

He walked forwards at the old man, approaching him with what seemed to be a smile, but also not a smile. "Tell me, how does this work exactly? The possession I mean."

"Kid, what trick is this? Hurry up and surrender your body to me, and I will decide if I should use it well or not after I devour your soul. Choose wisely, kid!"

"Hmm, devour ey? So that's how it works. You devour the soul of the opponent and then take over the body. It's that simple?" David muttered to himself.

Then he walked back to his throne, seemingly already bored with the conversation. "Old man, I know I'm not your match in the physical world since I've been suppressed which is why I had to trick you into coming here, within my body."

"My body is my world where only I rule, thinking of possessing my body? Wishful thinking. Rip him to shreds."

David's words hadn't finished sounding out yet when the two other David with gold and red eyes turned into afterimages as they pounced on old man Ouyang.

"What!? No!" The old man screamed pitifully as he struggled. Although his soul seems bigger than David's he would only be able to overcome David if it was in a one on one situation. But David seems to possess four different complete souls within himself. How was that even possible!

Even as he struggled with life and death, he still couldn't figure out how his luck would have turned so bad all of a sudden.

The two David were like an hungry beast as they ripped apart chunks of soul power from the old man and gobbled it up. Like an insatiable beast, they continued to feed on the old man once they saw the opportunity to.

The old man struggled violently, and for the most part, he was truly able to hold his own against the two David. Which showed him just how strong his soul had become.

"D-don't kill me! I know a lot of secrets! Don't kill me." The old man hurriedly said as he struggled.

"Was it because of this old man, you refused to come out previously?" David indifferently asked the lady by his side.

"Yes," Hazel replied monotonously.
