The Giant God stood in the sky, exuding supreme divine power, his giant eyes burning with flames, still coldly gazing at the Yandao Demon Lord below.
The massive sword in his hand had already melted away by half from the previous strike, but in the next moment, the Golden Longsword suddenly shone brightly again, as countless strands of Spiritual Energy surged into the giant sword, causing it to condense and extend once more.
The Yandao Demon Lord's Divine Consciousness had already sensed the changes above, but he did not move; he merely watched silently as the bright red blood on the ground slowly seeped into the sand, feeling a long-lost sense of frustration in his chest.
It had been Three Thousand Years since he created the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, allowing countless souls of beasts to enter bodies. Day and night, he endured the pain of backlash, ultimately making the decision to abandon his physical form and become a strange black mist. Afterward, his cultivation indeed advanced significantly, allowing him to transform into anyone's appearance at will, but all of it was false; it was merely an illusion and not a true body. Since then, he had lost all joy of being human.
All of this was for greater power and higher realms, for the pursuit of the heavenly path and ascension.
However, he realized that he had shamefully failed; Three Thousand Years were spent stuck at the Heavenly Fusion Stage, unable to comprehend the heavenly path or summon Tribulation, on the verge of having his soul dissipate back into the world. He had exerted great effort and made significant breakthroughs, only to discover that abandoning his body was a grave mistake. But he quickly corrected himself; having regained a body did indeed allow him to summon Tribulation. Yet, that Tribulation was repelled by Li Hong's sword, and this body ultimately did not belong to him.
Debts must eventually be repaid.
Yandao sighed deeply, regret beginning to settle in his heart.
But in the next moment, Yandao was suddenly alarmed; no, this was not my thought—when did I become so sentimental and indecisive?
"Come out! I know you're there; you refuse to die—come out!"
No one answered him. Yandao knew it was merely a remnant soul. Yet this persistent remnant soul made Yandao increasingly fearful, even more so than Li Hong above.
This body belonged to that remnant soul. Many subconscious actions and thoughts sprouted like quietly growing weeds, gradually infiltrating Yandao's mind. They were pervasive and unyielding; no matter how much Yandao tried to dig them out, he could not succeed.
There was no time left for contemplation!
Above, Li Hong's second strike had already been unleashed.
"Slay Dragon!"
A sword light spanned the heavens and the earth. In a moment of panic, Yandao instinctively unleashed two Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Two round Azure Lights soared upward, growing larger and larger, resembling two dazzling suns, spinning rapidly as they rushed toward the magnificent sword light that contended with the sun and moon.
There was no sound, for at the same time Yandao released the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Li Hong heard a voice shout, "Master, it's me, your brother! Don't attack, collect!"
With a surge of thought, the sword light shifted from vertical to diagonal. The brilliant sword light grazed past the two Six Paths of Reincarnation and flew straight into the Azure Void.
This strike surprisingly pierced into the vast void.
From an unknown location in the void came a thunderous roar, as if the sun had trembled three times; suddenly, the sun and moon lost their light, and the world was engulfed in darkness.
Meanwhile, the Giant God skillfully pinched hand seals with its enormous hands. The two Six Paths of Reincarnation swiftly shrank and obediently flew into the Giant God's hands. With a mere gesture, the trace of Divine Consciousness that Yandao had forcibly planted vanished. Then, the two Six Paths of Reincarnation entered the Giant God's body and disappeared in an instant.
In the next moment, Li Hong discovered that two more Celestial Artifacts had appeared in his Upper Dantian space. They were gathering together with the Divine Slaying Monument, Heartless Shuttle, and Yin Yang Platform, extending countless Awareness tendrils toward each other as if many hands were holding hands affectionately.
As Li Hong forcibly erased the trace of Divine Consciousness left by Yandao on the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Yandao Demon Lord suffered another severe blow to his Dao Heart and spat out another mouthful of blood.
He began to feel something was off—very off. His head was filled with a hazy Divine Consciousness; inexplicably, his hands moved uncontrollably, and he unintentionally sent out the Bagua Crown again.
Once separated from him, the Bagua Crown did not even attempt to attack but flew directly toward Li Hongfei.
Seeing a green circular shadow spinning toward him, Li Hong focused his gaze. That object looked extremely familiar—a green circle composed of countless runes forming a massive Bagua Formation Diagram. The Bagua Formation Diagram spun rapidly; from a distance, it resembled a three-dimensional swirling vortex. It was indeed the Bagua Crown. It showed no intention of attack and seemed to be flying toward him voluntarily.
Without hesitation, Li Hong collected it again, feeling both surprised and delighted yet confused.
Now all components of this artifact that could be collected in this space had been gathered; only one piece—the Star-Moon Radiance—was missing. That piece was said to be the ultimate defensive Celestial Artifact. However, with these six pieces currently in hand, he could already assemble that legendary Divine Artifact Chariot.
Li Hong was overjoyed but soon realized something was amiss and couldn't help but look down.
The Yandao Demon Lord stood in the void, swaying unsteadily, his eyes glazed over, and his complexion shifting between green and red, as if he were drunk. Suddenly, he inexplicably tossed out a treasure.
This object resembled a jade pillow, measuring one foot long and half a foot wide, with both ends high and the middle slightly concave. It was intricately carved with countless patterns of mountains, rivers, beasts, birds, and flowers, exuding an extraordinary aura that hinted at celestial energy. It was yet another Celestial Artifact!
After the Jade Pillow flew out, it did not head towards Li Hongfei but instead circled slowly around the Yandao Demon Lord's body, as if reluctant to leave its master.
Li Hong made a quick decision and sent a Divine Thought towards the Celestial Artifact, the Jade Pillow.
Suddenly, the Jade Pillow shone brightly with Azure Light, one beam shooting straight towards Li Hong's extending Divine Thought. Li Hong's mind rang out loudly as he involuntarily retracted his Giant God avatar, revealing his true self, his clone, and the Heavenly Torch.
What a powerful soul attack! This treasure directly targeted the primordial spirit!
However, it was clearly acting on its own; this attack was not commanded by the Yandao Demon Lord but rather indicated that the treasure had recognized Yandao as its master. Sensing someone approaching, it activated automatically to protect its master while also safeguarding itself.
Such a sentient treasure! This is a soul artifact Celestial Artifact! An absolutely unique treasure of heaven and earth!
With such soul attack capabilities, it could surely stabilize one's spirit and strengthen their essence. No wonder the Yandao Demon Lord absorbed countless soul powers for cultivation without being backlashed; this item was undoubtedly a great aid to him!
Looking at Yandao now, he remained standing in place, dazed and lost in thought, completely detached from reality as if he had forgotten that he was fighting for his life.
Li Hong frowned. Without hesitation, he summoned the Binding Immortal Rope. At this moment, the Binding Immortal Rope in Li Hong's hands was exponentially more powerful than when he first acquired it. A slender blue thread deftly wrapped around the strands of Azure Light and quietly approached the Celestial Artifact, the Jade Pillow. The Jade Pillow had yet to notice when the end of the Binding Immortal Rope shot up like a spiritual serpent and coiled around it. In an instant, it tightly bound the Jade Pillow from top to bottom.
The Jade Pillow immediately began to roll and change size frantically, struggling desperately to escape from the Binding Immortal Rope. However, Li Hong's Binding Immortal Rope was not to be underestimated; after all, it could bind even immortals—let alone an object.
Without even looking back, Li Hong formed a hand seal, causing the end of the Binding Immortal Rope to extend a hundred feet long and directly handed it to Heavenly Torch.
"Brother, pull it away!"
Heavenly Torch was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood. With a sly grin on his face and a thumbs-up gesture, he immediately complied and pulled hard while running away.
The Jade Pillow swelled desperately, and the Binding Immortal Rope immediately expanded a thousandfold. Thus, the two spiritual objects rolled and fought continuously, while the Heavenly Torch acted like a tow truck, carrying the end of the Binding Immortal Rope on its back and straining to pull it away.
Li Hong's actions were deeply significant. Although he did not know exactly what had happened to Yandao Demon Lord, one thing he was certain of was that a backlash similar to a demonic deviation had occurred within him. The Spirit Object Celestial Pillow was precisely what could help him overcome the Heart Demon. At this moment, as long as Yandao Demon Lord was not dead, the Spirit Object Celestial Pillow would never acknowledge anyone else as its master. No matter how it was collected, it would be useless; only by entangling it and taking it away could he ensure that without this soul tool, the Jade Pillow would lose its calming and stabilizing effects. Yandao would undoubtedly become more distraught, and the demonic deviation would intensify, leading to his inevitable downfall without a fight.
After removing the Spirit Object Celestial Pillow, it turned out that Yandao Demon Lord's condition worsened. Ling Yi Zi stood rigidly in the sand like a clay statue, with no expression on his face, which was quite eerie; he seemed completely unaware of what was happening.
Li Hong cautiously extended his Divine Consciousness toward Yandao Demon Lord's body.
Suddenly, Li Hong's mind shook violently as he heard a familiar voice shouting: "Li Hong, it's me! Old Demon has taken over my body and seized my cultivation! Quickly lend me a hand!"
In the next moment, a sinister voice replied: "Ling Yi Zi, you won't succeed! You are merely a remnant soul; do you really think you can cause trouble? If you dare to move again, I will destroy your body along with you! We can all die together!"
"Stop joking! I wouldn't hesitate to perish with you; would you? After thousands of years of cultivation, it's all for this day. If you leave my body, I'll tell Li Hong to spare your life! Get out of here!"
"You get out!"
"You get out first! This is my body!"
"It is also mine! I, Yandao Demon Lord, have cultivated for over four thousand years; my skills far surpass yours. At this moment, our powers have completely fused! Why do you still cling to life as a remnant soul and cause chaos? Do you want to see your own body destroyed by me? I can always switch to another one! If you keep making noise, I'll initiate Mutual Destruction!"
"Can you even switch? If you could have done so, you would have already! My body is what attracts Tribulation; this is my body!"
"Bah! It is clearly mine now!"
The two voices filled Li Hong's Divine Consciousness, arguing incessantly.
Li Hong felt increasingly cold inside and realized that things had become very troublesome.
Years ago, Yandao Demon Lord had used some secret method while Ling Yi Zi was gravely injured to forcibly implant a fragment of his soul into Ling Yi Zi's body, temporarily controlling him. Ling Yi Zi had a strong will and an unwavering heart; under such circumstances, a remnant soul had hidden itself away. After all, it was his own body—familiar beyond measure—and managed to evade Yandao Demon Lord's Divine Thought search. Later on, in the Wandering Path of the Stars, in order to escape confinement, Yandao Demon Lord forcibly split off another part of his soul's cultivation to create an avatar that confused Li Hong's vision. That fragment of soul along with its cultivation was completely eliminated by Li Hong. This meant that Yandao Demon Lord's own soul was incomplete. Eventually, he discovered the benefits of Ling Yi Zi's body and forcibly infused all remaining fragments of his soul and cultivation into Ling Yi Zi's body. They merged completely and occupied Ling Yi Zi's body, finally mastering Demonic Arts and even successfully attracting Tribulation to commence.
However, a remnant soul of Ling Yi Zi had not been extinguished; on the contrary, it was growing stronger. During this battle, as Yandao Demon Lord was repeatedly struck by Li Hong and his heart was damaged, Ling Yi Zi suddenly launched an attack, forcibly sending the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Bagua Crown to Li Hong, even the Spirit Object Celestial Pillow was sent out by him.
The disadvantages of Yandao Demon Lord's incomplete soul were fully exposed. At this point, he could no longer suppress Ling Yi Zi's increasingly powerful soul, and his actions were unknowingly influenced by Ling Yi Zi.
In other words, he had failed in his attempt to seize control.
However, it was also impossible for Ling Yi Zi to eliminate Yandao Demon Lord, as he truly could not match the latter who had immersed himself in the path of souls for many years; most of his cultivation was also derived from Yandao. At this stage, it could be said that their souls had begun to influence each other without realizing it. Even if Li Hong intervened to help, it would only be a temporary suppression.
What should be done? How can I help Ling Yi Zi completely revive and eliminate future troubles? Li Hong thought anxiously.
At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from above.
Looking up, Li Hong's expression changed drastically.
That damned Tribulation had returned! It came back at this critical moment!
