Chapter 399: Confrontation with the Chiyou Demon Spirit!
“Impressive eyesight, ladies.”
Chiyou emerged like a dark god rising from the abyss.
The deathly aura emanating from him was at least twice as thick as that of Donghuang Taiyi from before.
His blood-red eyes seemed soaked in fresh ~ blood, brimming with murderous intent!
Even when gazing at three stunning beauties like Fei Yan, the Moon Goddess, and Li Wu, his mind was consumed solely by thoughts of slaughter, not lust.
The Grand Priestess had mentioned that Chiyou’s consciousness had initially been corroded by the Demon Sword.
Later, a young man named the Yellow Emperor, with the help of the Lady of the Nine Heavens, defeated Chiyou.
However, the most malicious part of Chiyou’s consciousness had escaped and hidden away here.
This place was a crevice leading to the Underworld.
Once he used his powers, it would inevitably eradicate the souls trapped here.
Helpless, the Lady of the Nine Heavens had to seal the entrance, imprisoning the Chiyou Demon Spirit within.
For thousands of years, the Chiyou Demon Spirit had been yearning to break free.
To return and reclaim everything that belonged to him!
Thousands of years of resentment had long since snuffed out any interest in women.
Now, he solely desired revenge.
To bring disaster and bloodshed to the outside world and reclaim control of this realm!
“Where’s my master?”
Facing such a powerful opponent, Li Wu remained unafraid.
Her primary concern now was Li Mo, who had been silent for too long.
“Hmph, him?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit let out a cold sneer.
“Your master is likely lost in the illusion, savoring a life of bliss and reluctant to leave.”
That illusion was crafted by him, and he was all too familiar with its effects.
Inside the illusion, there was indeed no threat of death.
If one failed to realize it was an illusion, they could be trapped for a lifetime.
Even if they did figure it out, the inability to distinguish reality from illusion would drive them to madness.
No danger could compare to that illusion, a true form of killing without shedding blood.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Li Wu shot back angrily.
How could she possibly believe a word he said?
Even if there were a throne inside, Li Mo likely wouldn’t care.
Little did she know the peril that awaited!
“Don’t believe me? Then let me send you in to check!”
A vicious glint flashed in the Chiyou Demon Spirit’s eyes as he raised a hand and swung it towards Li Wu, aiming to force her into the illusion.
Even if Li Wu entered and saw Li Mo, he would probably mistake her for an illusion and end up attacking her!
“Be careful!”
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess had long been on guard against the Chiyou Demon Spirit, so they couldn’t just stand by and watch as it attacked Li Wu.
Both quickly formed hand seals, launching two streams of Dragon’s Energy straight at the Demon Spirit’s strike.
Together, they managed to dissolve the attack.
“Dragon’s Energy, quite impressive indeed, but do you think you’re the only ones who can use it?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit waved his hands, not even needing to form the seals, and unleashed two streams of Dragon’s Energy.
As soon as they emerged, the expressions on Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess changed drastically.
The Chiyou Demon Spirit had not only occupied Donghuang Taiyi’s body, but had also absorbed his abilities!
Both of their martial arts were derived from Donghuang Taiyi’s teachings, and the Yin-Yang techniques were created by him as well. Thus, they were already at a disadvantage from the start.
You could say Donghuang Taiyi was bad, but he was certainly not weak!
Five hundred years had passed, allowing Donghuang Taiyi to unleash Yin-Yang techniques without even forming seals!
Yet, the two women were not the type to resign themselves to being slaughtered.
With a determined set of their jaws, they retaliated, unleashing their own streams of Dragon’s Energy!
However, this time was different from when Fei Yan had attacked earlier.
This time, their Dragon’s Energy was laced with tiny blue streaks—a technique Li Mo had previously passed on to them.
“Hmm?”
The four streams of Dragon’s Energy collided in mid-air with a thunderous bang, unleashing massive amounts of uncontrolled energy all around.
Both sides immediately sensed something was amiss.
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess’s Dragon’s Energy felt off.
Even Donghuang Taiyi’s Dragon’s Energy was strange.
“Senior Sister, his Dragon’s Energy seems to be lacking something.”
Fei Yan frowned, then added, “It’s missing the Pure Yang Energy.”
The Dragon’s Energy contained Pure Yang Energy, which Donghuang Taiyi had created to maintain his own bodily functions.
…
The Yin-Yang School and Taoism both emphasized the balance of Yin and Yang.
The human body itself is divided into Yin and Yang.
Only when the Yin and Yang energies reach a balance can one survive.
However, Donghuang Taiyi’s current state was a living corpse of pure Yin.
Thus, he could only draw on Pure Yang energy from the outside world to maintain his bodily functions.
Otherwise, he would end up like Bai Xianwu back in the day.
At this moment, the Chiyou Demon Spirit, occupying Donghuang Taiyi’s body, had unleashed Dragon’s Energy that was completely different from before—
it had no Pure Yang Energy,
resembling the pure Yin energy from the Underworld!
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess understood immediately.
Although he had taken over Donghuang Taiyi’s body, he still belonged to the realm of Yin.
“Your techniques have some unique qualities.”
Similarly, as the Chiyou Demon Spirit witnessed the two ladies’ movements, he noticed something unusual.
There existed at least a two-tier difference in their power levels.
Even though he hadn’t expended his full strength, that last move shouldn’t have been able to hold them back.
Yet, his attack scattered simultaneously with theirs.
All credit was due to the Lightning Technique that Li Mo had taught them.
Yin and Yang can generate life, yet also overcome each other.
“Since you want to see that little brat, I’ll graciously oblige!”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit suddenly changed his mind.
With his power, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill those three.
Them being able to block one of his strikes was already a tough feat.
But he didn’t want to waste more time here.
With his takeover of this body and liberation from the clutches of the Demon Sword,
and since these girls could enter here, it implied he could also leave.
Rather than waste time here, he preferred to send them into the illusion.
True and false, false and true.
At that time, Li Mo might finally comprehend the horror of that illusion!
With a loud roar, the Chiyou Demon Spirit summoned countless massive chains from the darkness behind him.
They filled the space in front of the three, seeking to drive them into the illusion behind!
But just then, a crash of thunder pierced the darkness, ringing deafeningly!
