Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 178, Soul-Devouring Beast

The treatment was chosen to take place in a pavilion high up in the tower.

Danfeng and Xuankongzi both personally stood guard outside.

"Elder Ning, if you need anything, just let us know. We'll be right outside," Danfeng said.

"it is good."

This matter doesn't require such a big fuss; it's enough for Danfeng and Xuankongzi to stay here and guard it.

Danfeng is Danchen's father, so it's only right that he stays by her side.

As the president of the Pill Tower, Xuan Kongzi naturally had to guard this place, which is the Pill Tower, and the Dan family is one of the five major families of the Pill Tower.

Inside the room, only Ning Su and Dan Chen were present.

"I heard from the president that you yourself agreed to let me treat you?" Ning Su looked at Dan Chen.

"Hmm..." Dan Chen nodded, looking down shyly and not daring to look Ning Su in the eye.

She's like that with anyone she doesn't know well.

"Why did you agree? Neither your father nor the chairman agreed, aren't you afraid of something going wrong?" Ning Su continued to ask.

He was somewhat surprised when he learned that it was Dan Chen who believed him.

"Because... I think Mr. Ning can be trusted." She gave a reason that even she found strange.

But that's the reason; she's willing to believe Ning Su, it's that simple.

Ning smiled and did not continue on this topic.

"Okay, then get on, let's get ready to begin."

He had Danchen sit cross-legged on the bed, and then he sat opposite her.

"Can I put my hand out?"

Dan Chen paused for a moment, then slowly stretched out her small hand, which Ning Su then grasped in her hand.

Her hands are small and soft, and feel great to hold.

"How old is Miss Danchen this year?"

"What does this have to do with the treatment?" Dan Chen asked softly.

"It's alright, I just wanted to learn more," Ning said with a warm smile.

Dan Chen hesitated for a moment before stating her age: "Nineteen..."

"Only nineteen years old?"

However, Dan Chen does look like a little girl, small and delicate, timid and pitiful.

She was the same age as Qinglin, but she had already reached the eighth-grade alchemist level. Such talent was truly terrifying.

However, this is also thanks to her Soul Devouring Body. Over the years, she has absorbed the soul power of many people to enhance her own soul power.

That's why she was able to reach the eighth-grade alchemist level at such a young age.

For her, the Soul-Devouring Body was a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.

"Elder Ning Su, when... can we begin treatment?" Dan Chen asked softly.

Ning Su held her hand the whole time, and the warmth from his palm made her cheeks feel hot.

She has hardly ever met any strangers since she was a child, let alone strangers of the opposite sex.

This was the first time she had ever held hands with a man outside her clan.

The girl's reserve made her a little shy.

"The treatment has already begun," Ning said.

Although he was chatting with Dan Chen, he had already sent his soul power into Dan Chen's body to inspect the situation.

"Huh?" Dan Chen didn't even realize it.

She then fell silent, afraid of disturbing Ning Su's treatment.

The first step was actually to figure out Dan Chen's soul condition.

He had checked it once before, but only knew the general situation.

Treatment requires understanding every detail; missing any problem could have fatal consequences.

Under Ning Su's investigation, Dan Chen's soul was fully revealed in his perception.

Dan Chen's soul is light blue, and within it exists a fist-sized, tiger-shaped soul beast.

Soul-devouring Beast!

This is a magical beast that can only parasitize souls. Anyone who is parasitized will have half of their soul power devoured.

The moment a person is possessed by a soul-devouring beast, they will die instantly because they cannot withstand its power.

Only a very small number of people with naturally strong soul power can become fertile ground for soul-devouring beasts.

Dan Chen is a perfect example.

The Soul-Devouring Beast successfully resided within her body, and could convert a portion of the soul power absorbed from the outside world into Dan Chen's soul power.

But this is entirely due to the Soul-Devouring Beast. As long as the Soul-Devouring Beast is still around, it's like Dan Chen has a deadly time bomb inside her body, which could take her life at any moment.

When the Soul-Devouring Beast has fully grown up and can survive independently of its host, that day will also be the day of Dan Chen's death.

What Ning Su needs to do now is to erase the Soul Devouring Beast's intelligence without harming Dan Chen's soul.

The latest novel is first published here!

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

Because Ning Su had never tried this treatment method before, she had absolutely no experience and had to start from scratch.

The first thing to do is to take control of Dan Chen's soul condition.

"Dan Chen, I'm going to use my soul power to envelop your soul, so you need to relax as much as possible and not resist, understand?"

"Um."

Subsequently, Ning Su continuously channeled his immense soul power into Dan Chen's body.

Dan Chen could clearly feel something strange coming from her soul.

However, she listened to Ning Su's words and did not resist. Instead, she allowed Ning Su's soul power to enter her body and gradually envelop her soul completely.

The soul and body need to be in harmony. Now, Dan Chen's soul is enveloped by Ning Su's soul power, causing her body to become weak and she to fall down helplessly.

Ning quickly helped her up.

If direct physical contact is lost, his soul power cannot be maintained within Dan Chen's body.

"Keep this in place."

Ning told her to lean on him, then closed her eyes and began to concentrate on her work.

At this moment, his soul had completely enveloped Dan Chen's soul.

The Soul-Devouring Beast also noticed that something was wrong and sensed Ning Su's soul.

But it was not afraid; it even unleashed its power, attempting to absorb Ning Su's soul.

The Soul-Devouring Beast's ability is somewhat similar to Ning Su's [Infinite Devouring], which also allows it to enhance its own cultivation by devouring other beings.

However, the Soul-Devouring Beast can only devour soul power, and it cannot devour the soul power of just anyone.

Ning Su's [Infinite Devouring] can devour anything!

"Have they noticed me and started trying to devour my soul power?"

Ning Su deliberately set out bait to lure the Soul-Devouring Beast into the trap.

The fish has taken the bait!

The Soul-Devouring Beast emerged from Dan Chen's soul and began to feast on Ning Su's soul.

Ning told them that he was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.

"Soul-Sealing Technique: Heart Prison Soul-Locking Seal!"

He struck with precision, creating a cage around the Soul-Devouring Beast's body to trap it.

The Soul-Devouring Beast then realized the danger and hurriedly tried to shrink back into Dan Chen's soul.

"It's too late to leave!"
