Legend of Heaven Defying Dao - C75
In order to fully possess Lu Renjie’s body, the devil would have to first occupy the Sea of Consciousness hidden deep in Lu Renjie’s mind. Unfortunately, Lu Renjie’s will was extremely firm, and he had been fighting against the devil for the past few hundred years, and he had always kept a trace of clarity in his heart, as well as the soul imprint that was hidden in the Sea of Consciousness where he used to guard the Spiritual Altar. Lu Renjie firmly believed that as long as he could persevere, his Master would one day find him and at that time, he would be saved.
At this moment, his expression was twisted, and his anger had reached its peak. He opened his hands, and a stench of blood-red smoke erupted from the cracks on the surface of his skin, instantly covering his entire body. The blood-red smoke expanded at an extremely fast speed, but in the blink of an eye, a radius of ten meters around the Demon’s head was covered with a rolling mist of blood.
At the same time, there were shouts coming from the blood mist. The devil howled from the blood mist, “Die you brat!” With a loud howl from the devil, the howls from the blood mist became even louder. The blood mist then clashed violently, and a few malevolent-looking demons rushed towards Ling Yan.
At this moment, the green ball of light enveloped by the blood mist let out a muffled sound, and a flash of light, and exploded. Immediately, the electric snakes in the sky began to spread out in all directions, and the blood mist that had enveloped the ball of light immediately disappeared without a trace, and the moment the blood mist was affected by the electric light, it disappeared without a trace. Once the ball of light exploded, half of the blood mist of the demon was gone, and the few little demon heads that had rushed out of the blood mist did not even have time to cry out in pain before they all turned into pools of blood, reverting back to their original state.
Ling Yan was also secretly surprised that the true essence within his core could actually do such a great damage to the demons. Seeing that the effect was not bad, he immediately threw another pill at the devil’s blood mist. The devil who was hidden in the blood mist had yet to recover from his shock, and when he saw that another pill had been thrown in, he roared in fear and hurriedly jumped out of the blood mist, fleeing towards the blood mist in the corner of the cave.
Unconsciously, Ling Yan felt that the blood mist in the corner was a little strange. The devil had escaped to the corner. Was he not afraid that he would be thrown another one? With a thought, the black sword left his body, and with a burst of sword whistling sound, the black sword appeared in front of the demon as it fled.
Since the body of the devil was that of Lu Renjie, even if the devil couldn’t save Lu Renjie’s life, he had to at least bring the intact corpse of Lu Renjie to Wu Qi’s heart. This would prevent a calamity from befalling upon him in the future, and when he heard that Lu Renjie’s consciousness was still locked in his sea of consciousness, Ling Yan was even more afraid of releasing the black sword.
Taking advantage of the Demon’s stagnant momentum, Ling Yan shot a ball of true essence into the blood fog in the corner. At this time, the blood fog released by the Demon gave off a loud explosive sound, and from the blood fog came a flash of lightning. A burst of ghostly wails sounded out, and the Little Demons, who hadn’t been able to withdraw yet, were the first to suffer.
At this time, he was neither moving forward nor retreating. Looking at the electric sparks that were still scattering everywhere, the devil’s face was full of fear, he did not understand how this cultivator in front of him could have such a thing that made him feel inborn fear. The devil knew that if these electric sparks touched him, his end would be very miserable, not much worse than his death.
Another explosive sound rang out, and before the sparks of lightning had even disappeared, an even bigger ball of lightning appeared in the corner, immediately causing the electric snakes to scurry around. The blood fog rapidly melted — the devil felt despair, this cultivator had a ball of light that could wipe out his soul.
He thought that he should have been blessed by the devil gods, and that he should be the one who deserved the good fortune. Coming to this world, he could plunder life energy without restraint, and after his power greatly increased, he could then return to the demon realm to fight for supremacy. As soon as the devil arrived in the cultivation world, he bumped into Lu Renjie who was collecting refining materials. Cultivators were one of the best supplements for the demons in the world of demons, so the devil naturally wouldn’t let go of such a delicious food. The devil caught Lu Renjie and carried him back to his lair.
Lu Renjie knew that he would not end up well among the devils. While he was being captured by the devils, he sent his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and sealed himself away. He gave up the right to fight with the devils over his body and retained his consciousness, hoping that one day his master would come to his rescue. The Sea of Consciousness was especially important, it was the main focus of the human spirit. If the devil wanted to take this body as his own, he first had to erase Lu Ren’s mind consciousness and let his soul take over the Sea of Consciousness, which was the only way to be able to use this body that had possessed him at ease and control the power of his cultivation without any hindrance.
However, when he tried to erase Lu Renjie’s mind consciousness, he discovered that Lu Renjie had long since sealed his sea of consciousness. It was not difficult for the Demon General to forcibly occupy his sea of consciousness with the strength of the Demon General’s cultivation, but right now, the devil only had a demon’s body, and his cultivation was only at 30% of his usual peak. Although Lu Renjie’s cultivation was not as strong as his, he was still a Spirit Destruction Realm cultivator who had cultivated for more than a hundred years.
The devil thought of all sorts of ways to not be able to succeed. He could only fuse with Lu Renjie’s body first, with the demon soul occupying his dantian while the devil soul could only linger around his body. On Lu Renjie’s body, the devil realized that this world was not that weak and did not dare to take life energy. He cultivated in the cave, preparing to raise his cultivation level to take over Lu Renjie’s cultivation before going out to devour him. At that time, restoring his cultivation base would be just around the corner.
Unable to occupy Lu Renjie’s sea of consciousness, he was unable to control the various parts of his body as he wished. The cracks on the surface of his skin had yet to heal as well, and as the devil fused with his body, it naturally took over the sensory and nervous system in his body. The cracks in his skin brought him endless suffering, and the hatred towards Lu Renjie increased, but he could not do anything about it.
In the eyes of the devil, the arrival of a cultivator was more precious than anything else. As long as he swallowed the Yuan Dan inside the dantian of a cultivator, he would be able to break through the defense of the Sea of Consciousness in his brain. As long as the devil soul occupied the Sea of Consciousness, the internal structure of the skin would be able to easily combine together, and those wounds would naturally heal, and he wouldn’t have to suffer any more.
It was just that he did not think that he would actually find a magic treasure on him that could counter the devils of the demonic world — he had treated the green ball of true essence as a magic treasure. He regretted coming to the cultivation world. If he was in the demonic world, he would have been able to survive even if he lost the most, but he didn’t expect that he would be destroyed in body and spirit. The body he possessed seemed to be closely related to the person in front of him.
With a thought, Ling Yan shot another palm-sized true essence ball into the corner. He had a feeling that there was something special about that corner; he would first place a true essence ball there. The process of extracting true essence from the core to form a true essence ball was simple and fast, and the true essence in the core was inexhaustible; there was as much as one wanted. Ling Yan casually found another use of the true essence ball — he could control the time when it exploded with his will, and with just a thought, the true essence ball would firmly stay in the corner. The blue sphere was like a demonic god staring at him, unable to calm himself for even a moment.
“I’ll kill you!” With a howl, the devil raised the blood-red Demon Saber high in the air and chopped down at Ling Yan. His body shook, and a burst of ghost wails and wolf howls sounded out, as dozens of little devils emerged from his body and rushed towards Ling Yan.
Ling Yan realized that the little devil wanted to disturb him so that he could use his Zhen Yuan Sphere to wrap around himself. Sneering coldly, his figure flashed and blurred, leaving behind only a series of afterimages as nine Ling Yan appeared, surrounding the demon and his puppets. With a loud shout, the nine Ling Yan’s palms struck out in unison, causing the Little Devil to scream out loud as one of the Ling Yan behind the demon suddenly leaped up and pounced at the demon that was slashing the air with his blade.
“Bang, bang, bang!” After being hit three times consecutively, the Demon let out a miserable howl and shot out. At this moment, the other eight Ling Yan’s figures disappeared. Ling Yan was just about to release his true essence ball to destroy the little devil, who had died in the palm attack, but was stopped by the demon who was still flying in the air. He knew that although the demon cried out loudly from his own attack, it could not actually hurt the devil’s soul within his body.
Ling Yan said fiercely: “I don’t believe it …” Halfway through his sentence, he stopped abruptly, it would be easy to beat him to death, but Lu Renjie would also end up playing with him. As for the devil, Ling Yan knew nothing about it, the only thing he could do now was try his best to attack the devil and make it go crazy, then find an opening to find an opportunity. As soon as he made up his mind, Ling Yan grabbed a green light and threw it at the demon who had just stood up.
