One year.
Two years.
Three years.
Lu Yang had no idea how many years had passed inside the Void Palace. When he finished cultivating this spell, he felt a clarity in his heart.
It was a spiritual state that transcended everything. Within that state, he could kill any enemy, including the soul of the Blazing Demon God.
As he watched the Blazing Demon God's soul gradually dissipate into specks of starlight and become completely devoured by his own soul, Lu Yang suddenly felt his body and soul fully merge. Yet cracks had formed in that fusion from the very beginning.
"Could this be another form of inner demon for me?" Lu Yang asked with some emotion.
The Blazing Demon God said, "Exactly. You have gained the Blazing Demon God's power, but you have also suffered the Blazing Demon God's curse. In the endless years to come, the stronger you become, the faster the Blazing Demon God's soul will recover. Every time the Blazing Demon God fights you in soul form, it will be when you are at your weakest. From now on, you will forever stand at the edge of death. You will not know peace for even a single day."
This was the price of great power, but it was also a price Lu Yang had no choice but to bear. It was the price every strong person had to bear.
Lu Yang rose to his feet and said, "If my death can buy my brothers and family a lifetime of peace, then I am willing. People are not born great, but they can become great as they grow. I have witnessed too many brothers die because of me. When the day comes for me to face death, I will meet it calmly!"
