Chapter 93: Empowered by National Destiny

In the end, Ye Xin could only watch helplessly as the purple phantom entered Lin Qian's body, unable to do anything to stop it.

Bang!

As the phantom merged into Lin Qian, Ye Xin noticed that the purple flames in Nan Xin's hollow eyes extinguished, and his body collapsed to the ground.

She hurried to Lin Qian's side, only to find that his once-bright eyes had now dimmed, devoid of any light.

"What should I do? What should I do now?" Standing in front of Lin Qian's lifeless body, Ye Xin anxiously wrung her hands, her eyes welling up with tears.

Clearly, the alien spirit was exceptionally powerful, capable of leaving its body and invading Lin Qian's. Due to the nature of this soul-based attack, Ye Xin's current strength and cultivation level were insufficient to deal with it—she was entirely helpless in this situation.

As soon as Nan Xin's spirit entered Lin Qian's body, the surrounding corpses lost their previous orderliness, becoming restless and agitated, bursting into a frenzy. Some of the corpses howled as they charged forward, but as they neared the central platform, a radiant white light burst forth, enveloping them.

"Roar!" The corpses screamed in agony, their bodies seemingly consumed by a golden flame that left no visible fire. In mere moments, the corpses disintegrated into black and white ashes, scattering across the ground.

Seeing their fellow corpses reduced to ashes, the others hesitated, forming layers around the platform, their hollow eyes glowing with green flames, staring at Ye Xin and occasionally letting out threatening growls.

Realizing that the corpses could not approach, Ye Xin breathed a small sigh of relief. However, her heart remained heavy as she looked at Lin Qian, her eyes filled with worry.

All she could do now was silently pray that Lin Qian could resist the spirit's attack. But Ye Xin knew that while Lin Qian was indeed strong and extraordinarily gifted, his current cultivation level posed a significant disadvantage. This alien spirit had survived since ancient times, making it a formidable opponent, and Lin Qian's chances of success seemed slim.

At this moment, within the pitch-black depths of Lin Qian's consciousness, an unexpected guest had arrived. The horned alien spirit, upon entering Lin Qian's consciousness, appeared as a tangible being with purple skin and glowing golden patterns across its body.

As Nan Xin examined the vast space within Lin Qian's mind, his eyes filled with wonder. "What's going on? How can this boy's spiritual sea be so vast?"

"Sometimes one plus one doesn't equal two—it can lead to infinite possibilities. If you had lived two lifetimes like I have, perhaps you'd understand," a familiar, teasing voice suddenly echoed behind him.

Nan Xin spun around, shocked to find Lin Qian standing right behind him.

The moment Nan Xin invaded his body, Lin Qian's consciousness had plunged into his spiritual sea, where he now confronted the intruder.

Seeing Lin Qian standing before him, Nan Xin grinned, touching the horns on his head. "Boy, I must say, you're quite brave to come and face me directly."

"Do you think that just by standing in front of me, you can successfully possess me?" Lin Qian shrugged nonchalantly as he eyed the purple figure before him.

Nan Xin let out a loud laugh at Lin Qian's response. "You're nothing more than a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. Once I've devoured your soul and taken over your body, you won't be so relaxed. And with such a vast spiritual sea, I must say, I'm quite satisfied with your body."

With that, Nan Xin's body flared with a purple glow as he charged toward Lin Qian's soul. In his mind, dealing with a mere Nirvana Realm junior, even with his weakened soul, should be an easy task.

However, just as Nan Xin's hands were about to reach Lin Qian's soul, a sudden change occurred!

An immensely powerful force erupted from Lin Qian's soul, hurling Nan Xin's purple spirit away.

"What?!" Nan Xin's soul trembled, and when he lifted his gaze, he gasped in disbelief.

Before him, Lin Qian's once-unremarkable soul was now shrouded in brilliant golden light, surrounded by nine majestic five-clawed golden dragons.

Within the radiance enveloping Lin Qian, Nan Xin could see a colossal planet. On this planet, eighteen vast continents and six boundless oceans lay sprawled out.

Countless beings inhabited the planet, their unparalleled vitality filling the golden light, all bowing to Lin Qian's soul.

An overwhelming imperial presence surged from Lin Qian's soul, pressing down on Nan Xin with immense force. Under this crushing weight, Nan Xin, who had been standing tall, found his knees buckling, forcing him to kneel before Lin Qian.

"No... impossible! You possess the power of an emperor—the Nine Dragons Sovereign, protected by national destiny!" Nan Xin gasped in disbelief as he knelt in the void of Lin Qian's spiritual sea. "How can a mere Nirvana Realm insect like you possess such an invincible blessing of national fortune?"

Seeing Nan Xin's stunned expression, Lin Qian smirked mischievously. "Care to guess?"

"Guess your—!" Nan Xin cursed, his rage boiling over. The purple light on his spirit intensified as he attempted to flee Lin Qian's spiritual sea.

"Do you think you can come and go from my spiritual sea as you please?" Lin Qian shouted, pointing at Nan Xin.

The nine golden dragons surrounding Lin Qian roared, their mighty presence filling the void as they lunged at Nan Xin's spirit, tearing into it.

"Aaaah!" Nan Xin's agonized screams echoed throughout Lin Qian's spiritual sea as the dragons tore away pieces of his soul.

In a final burst of purple light, Nan Xin's spirit vanished from Lin Qian's consciousness.

"He escaped quickly," Lin Qian muttered as the golden dragons returned with fragments of Nan Xin's soul in their jaws.

As the supreme emperor of the Huaxia Empire, Lin Qian was uniquely protected by the nation's fortune. However, due to his current cultivation level, Nan Xin had managed to escape with part of his soul intact.

At the same time, outside Lin Qian's body, Ye Xin suddenly noticed the alien spirit being forcibly expelled from Lin Qian. The ethereal face of the spirit twisted in fury as it lunged toward her.

Ye Xin's face paled, realizing that the alien was now targeting her.

Just as the situation seemed dire, a faint golden light emanated from Lin Qian's forehead, enveloping Ye Xin.

Seeing this, Nan Xin's spirit let out a screech before retreating back into his original body.

"I never thought you'd meet such an end," a voice suddenly echoed, startling Ye Xin. She looked around in shock, realizing that the alien corpse on the jade platform had spoken!
