The strategy used by Lin Zhen was very simple, which was to put his consciousness and soul into the alien space.

Just as he expected, the moment his consciousness and soul disappeared at the same time, this body was equivalent to being suddenly evacuated and became an empty room without an owner.

As for the outside world, the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun, who has been waiting for the opportunity, although he has lost the ability to think, his instinct will not let go of this opportunity.

As a result, two contenders with similar strength appeared in Lin Zhen's body.

As the two sides fought with each other, what Lin Zhen had to do next became very simple.

Although he was in a different space, Lin Zhen could always observe the movements of the blurry figure.

Although the composition of the spiritual clone was unclear, Lin Zhen deduced from some of the details it showed that the power possessed by this vague figure must have been almost exhausted.

So, Lin Zhen secretly waited for the opportunity, and finally succeeded, killing the spiritual clone that had been bothering him ever since it appeared.

Next, only the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun is left.

He saw the figure emitting red light rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Zhen was calm and unhurried. The dark iron kitchen knife in his hand was made from the power of the soul, and its edge was restrained.

When the red figure came to the front, Lin Zhen's figure suddenly flashed and appeared behind him in an instant!

The remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun, who had lost the ability to think, naturally did not have such a fast reaction speed. He stabbed the air with his sword, and Lin Zhen's sword fell directly on his back.

However, even Lin Zhen did not expect that the degree of solidification and instinctive reaction of the remnant soul of Immortal Lingyun would be so strong.

When this sword fell, Lin Zhen originally planned to directly kill the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

After all, this is your own ocean of consciousness. Even if the remnant soul of Immortal Lingyun dissipates here, the power will not be lost much. As long as you quickly regain control of your body, and then absorb the power before it dissipates.

.

However, Lin Zhen did not expect that this sword strike would not directly kill the remnant soul of Immortal Ling Yun, but would instead strike the right shoulder of Immortal Ling Yun's remnant soul.

When the blade fell, the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun instinctively evaded to the left.

If Lin Zhen hadn't been fast enough, there was a high probability that this knife would not have hit.

Even though the blade hit in the end, the blade was only embedded into the right shoulder of Immortal Ling Yun's remnant soul for three points, and did not directly cut off his right arm.

Lin Zhen was surprised. He did not hold back at all with this sword. Although he had shot with all his strength when he just destroyed the spiritual clone, the power of his soul has not been fully restored, but the power of this sword was only stronger than before.

That sword was weakened by about 20%.

Logically speaking, although this sword was chopped crookedly, it should at least cut off one of the arms of Immortal Ling Yun's remnant soul.

"Ah——" Immortal Lord Lingyun's remnant soul let out a painful roar.

Obviously, this knife caused him to feel unprecedented pain.

Lin Zhen wanted to draw the knife and retreat, but with all his strength, he found that the dark iron kitchen knife condensed with the power of the soul was stuck on the shoulder of the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

In desperation, Lin Zhen could only let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife and retreat alone.

Just as he was retreating, the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun suddenly turned around and swept away with his sword, but it was completely wiped out.

Lin Zhen realized clearly in his heart that it was because the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Ling Yun was much more solid than the spiritual clone that was about to run out of energy, so the effect of his sword was so slight.

Immortal Lord Ling Yun missed Lin Zhen with his sword, and did not rush to pursue him. Instead, he used his other hand to grab the knife on his shoulder that was condensed with the power of the soul.

Lin Zhen was immediately surprised to see that the blade of the knife slowly decomposed and turned into energy, which was absorbed into the body by the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun...

He actually has this ability. It seems that this guy is more troublesome than I thought... Lin Zhen thought to himself.

But at this moment, the spiritual clone had been eradicated by him, Lin Zhen had regained control of his own ocean of consciousness, and his methods were no longer limited to ordinary offensives.

"Get me sleepy!" Lin Zhen gave the order and was about to rush towards the feet of the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun. The originally calm sea surface suddenly stirred up waves!

Countless water pillars spewed out from around him, instantly trapping him.

These water pillars are not just as simple as they look, they are made up of Lin Zhen's consciousness.

This world is the world in Lin Zhen's consciousness. Here, Lin Zhen's consciousness is extremely powerful.

The trapped remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun immediately waved the red sword in his hand and slashed at the chaos in all directions.

The red light sword sank directly into it, just like cutting an ordinary water column, and then passed through it without any hindrance.

Although the power of the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun was very strong, there was no fluctuation in those water pillars.

However, when the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun tried to move forward through the water column, it seemed to have hit a copper wall. No matter how hard he exerted his brute force, he could not pass through.

It was only then that Lin Zhen finally took advantage of his home court advantage.

"Seal!" Lin Zhen gave an order, and the water column that originally surrounded the remnant soul of Immortal Ling Yun suddenly turned into a huge water ball, wrapping the remnant soul of Immortal Ling Yun in it.

Lin Zhen's figure flashed and floated near the water polo. Looking at the struggling but helpless red figure in the water polo, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Haha... I have spent so much effort just for such a remnant soul."

"Don't let me down..."

After saying that, Lin Zhen closed his eyes directly.

In the real world, Lin Zhen, who originally exuded an aura similar to that of Immortal Lord Lingyun, suddenly dissipated the red light in his eyes.

The aura also began to weaken.

Seeing this situation, Gu Aoyun's eyes showed joy.

"This boy really didn't disappoint me!"

Lin Zhen's eyes slowly closed and he just sat cross-legged in the air.

His skills also started to work.

The cultivators in the distance did not wait for Gu Aoyun's order, nor did they see any strange phenomena, so they gathered together to watch.

Knowing that Lin Zhen had regained control of his body, Gu Aoyun did not keep the group of cultivators away.

Lin Zhen didn't know that at this moment, he had become the focus of everyone's attention in Lingyun City.

At this moment, in the ocean of consciousness, the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun, who was imprisoned in the water polo, no longer struggled any more.

He is now in a semi-conscious state.

Lin Zhen's incarnation of consciousness has disappeared from this ocean of consciousness. Now, Lin Zhen is running his skills, constantly absorbing power from the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

This process is already very familiar to Lin Zhen.

In the past four years, Lin Zhen had used this method countless times to gain strength.

But this time, it was the most difficult one.

Although the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun did not make any resistance, because it was too solid, it was difficult for Lin Zhen to decompose it and convert it into pure energy absorption.

At this rate of progress, Lin Zhen felt that it would probably take at least a year and a half for him to completely absorb the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

Realizing this, Lin Zhen began to think about how to speed up the absorption.

After all, I still have a world to save, and I don't have much time to waste here.

However, after thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen still couldn't come up with any good solution. In desperation, he could only let his consciousness return to the ocean of consciousness again, and temporarily stop absorbing the power of the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

Lin Zhen's consciousness came to the front of the ball of water.

After much thought, he decided to use the simplest method to deal with the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun.

This method is to use force to forcibly break it into pieces and let it turn into pure power and permeate this ocean of consciousness.

In this way, the density of Lingyun Immortal Lord's remnant soul will no longer affect my ability to absorb his power.

As his mind turned, the rich power of the soul once again condensed into the shape of a Hades iron kitchen knife in the hands of Lin Zhen's consciousness.

At this time, because Lin Zhen no longer used his skills to suppress the remnant soul of Immortal Ling Yun, the remnant soul of Immortal Ling Yun who was imprisoned in the water ball slowly woke up.

Immortal Lord Lingyun's remnant soul let out a mad roar the moment it woke up.

Afterwards, he kept struggling, trying to get out of the predicament.

It's just that the water ball suppressed all his limbs until they were bent. No matter how he moved, he couldn't get rid of it.

Lin Zhen ignored the struggle of Immortal Lord Ling Yun's remnant soul, because he knew very well that the other party had no ability to escape from his control now.

Lin Zhen held the sword forged by Yuan Shen in his hand, with cold eyes staring at the remnant soul of Immortal Lord Lingyun who was constantly struggling.

For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

Immortal Lord Lingyun was once a powerful being that could be called a god. Lin Zhen didn't know exactly why he fell.

Perhaps, the fall of Immortal Lord Lingyun is related to the battle against the terrifying existence outside the realm that the Lord of the Underworld mentioned.

Or perhaps, Immortal Lord Lingyun himself is one of the companions of the Lord of the Underworld.

Billions of years ago, Immortal Lord Lingyun was most likely an ancestor who fought for his own world, but now, he wanted to crush his remaining soul and absorb it...

"The end justifies the means..."

Lin Zhen said to himself.

Maybe so, but in order to protect everything I cherish, no matter what, no matter what.

Lin Zhen's eyes became firm again.

As the Lord of the Underworld said, this road is destined to be extremely difficult, and this time is just the beginning.
