Shadow of Immortals and Gods
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
This is a remnant of a soul without consciousness, not a spirit, but a spirit. Only one of the Seven Souls remains, with only lingering anger and murderous intent. It has no consciousness, no thought, and no spirituality.
Even this anger and murderous intent were not targeted at anyone; they were indiscriminate.
In truth, the murderous intent before death was likely directed at the intertwined Qi Tu, but having lost consciousness after death, only this pure murderous intent remained. If even a trace of consciousness remained, it would be highly unlikely that it would attack Ye Ling; the bloodline recognition among demons is still very strong.
Liusu was in a much better situation back then. Although Qin Yi always treated her as a remnant soul, she wasn't actually "remnant." Once something is "remnant," it means something is missing, perhaps a personality or memories. But Liusu clearly hadn't lost any part; her soul was intact, just extremely weak.
But this Soaring Serpent is better than Liusu in that it has a skeleton to cling to, so its Demon Power remains, and it has formed this unique space. Even disregarding the existence of fragments, just having its own skeleton to cling to would have given Liusu confidence that she could retain considerable power, preventing her from becoming so weak. Unfortunately, with its flesh exploding and transforming into an entire isolated realm, its soul is only clinging to a completely unsuitable lump of iron to survive, making its fate very difficult...
To preserve one's power or to ensure one's soul remains intact? Liusu naturally chose the latter.
The soul is very complex.
In Liusu initial stages, only the most basic trace of its True Spirit remained attached to the staff, professionally known as the "Fetal Light" among the "Three Souls," the essence of life. Gradually, the "Refreshing Spirit" revived, giving rise to a personality and consciousness, followed by the revival of the "Dark Essence," restoring its temperament and preferences—these are the Three Souls. Over tens of thousands of years of recovery, the Seven Souls also revived and returned to normal, finally managing to accumulate a tiny bit of weak soul power.
The physical body was beyond repair, so Body Seizing was necessary. Just then, an opportunity to Body Seizing someone unexpectedly arose, but it was ruined by some idiot who fell from the sky.
It's all tears when I tell the story.
Fortunately, this idiot was quite obedient. When we shouted "Knock it!", he grabbed the stick and leaped up to knock on the Teng Snake Corpse. He was as cute as an obedient dog.
"Boom!"
Qin Yi had no idea what Liusu thought of him. A surge of violent Demon Power rushed towards him. Qin Yi fought back with all his might, but couldn't break through, and leaped backward. Ye Ling, and heavenly fire surged forth, blocking the pursuing Demon Power.
They worked together seamlessly.
The Qi Tu remains suddenly turned three heads, each with three empty pairs of eyes staring at the three people. It opened its beak and let out another piercing laugh.
This guy is even more foolish than Soaring Serpent. At least Soaring Serpent had a few more moves, but this guy can only laugh. He only has the most basic, instinctive abilities left.
Fortunately, both of them only have such small remnants left. If they were truly at their peak, they wouldn't be able to break through with their current strength...
Cheng Cheng floated in mid-air, her long hair billowing in the mist under the demonic wind. Dressed in white and barefoot, she looked ethereal, like a goddess. Her expression was solemn, and there were faint ripples in her eyes, spiraling outwards and colliding with the sound waves formed by the Qi Tu's laughter. At first, there was a stalemate, then her eyes snapped open, her soul power surged wildly, and all the ripples were swept back to the Qi Tu's three heads.
Cheng Cheng's combat prowess lies more in mental techniques; the allure, Illusions, and confusion of the fox spirit are talents akin to Ye Ling Heavenly Fire. Do these have any effect on the remnant soul?
Yes. At Cheng Cheng's level of sophistication, the so-called allure and bewitching is no longer merely a low-level matter of influencing the other person's consciousness and arousing desire.
The three heads of the Qi Tu turned back, their empty eyes staring at the Teng Snake Corpse entangled with them, revealing a fierce glint. Suddenly, the three beaks pecked down, wildly pecking at the Soaring Serpent's skull.
The Soaring Serpent, which was entangled with Qin Yi Ye Ling, was pecked so badly that bone fragments flew everywhere, and it roared in pain.
A golden ring, swift as wind and fire, pierced through the Demon Power that Qin Yi and Ye Ling couldn't break even with their combined strength, and slammed heavily onto the Soaring Serpent's throat.
The giant snake head flew up.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Qin Yi.
This woman, who was just wandering around with me not long ago, seems like she could take on several of me at once...
"It's not over yet," Cheng Cheng said coldly. "Beware of a counterattack."
The skull of the Soaring Serpent flew through the air, its vertical pupils flashing green light, before its entire head hurtled down towards the three of them.
The skull of a snake's head was as large as a small mountain, and the three people floated in the air like dust. An unparalleled, immense power crashed down, as if the earth had collapsed and the Heaven Collapse.
Cheng Cheng's face was ashen. The golden ring rapidly expanded, slicing into the center of the snake's head. She then let out a muffled groan and stumbled backward, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Ye Ling and Qin Yi were not far behind, striking the snake's head heavily with their Wolf Tooth Club and tails from the left and right.
Having been stopped by Cheng Cheng's immense strength, the snake's power was no longer so great, and the brother and sister barely managed to hold on.
"Roar!"
The snake's skeletal head bristled, spewing forth phosphorescent flames that hurtled towards Ye Ling. Ye Ling protected her head with her wings and rolled several times to dodge.
At the same time, the green light from the snake's eyes focused on Qin Yi.
Cheng Cheng, suddenly realized something was wrong!
It's that Art of Terrifying Gods and Ghosts again. Can Qin Yi withstand it with just his clothes? This technique contains intense soul-shaking fear and a direct, internal destruction that could shatter one's courage!
Qin Yi's expression was neither sad nor happy. Suddenly, he became enormous, and his fierce and unparalleled Gang Qi and sacrificial fire erupted from his body. He then slammed his staff into the snake's head's spiritual platform!
The snake's eyes froze for a moment, and the secret technique stopped.
Cheng Cheng was astonished. What was going on...? Of course, she could see that Qin Yi had touched the remnant of the other's soul. But how much soul power would it take to find even a speck of remnant soul smaller than a speck of dust within this mountain-sized snake head?
It was only by accident that Qin Yi discovered how his power could penetrate the skeleton of the Soaring Serpent.
Was it because of the shabby Wolf Tooth Club?
Cheng Cheng and Ye Ling exchanged a glance, and without thinking too much, they quickly joined forces and attacked again, striking the snake's temples from both sides.
The scene seemed to freeze.
Surprisingly, Qin Yi also stared blankly at this moment, as if his soul had been affected by something and he had fallen into confusion.
The Gang Qi touched the invisible, ethereal remnant soul, yet it struck like metal against stone. The power of the Soaring Serpent's remnant soul seemed to sense something familiar, and its state became extremely strange. Upon contact, Qin Yi shuddered, as if he too sensed what the Soaring Serpent's remnant soul was feeling...
My consciousness was somewhat hazy, and what I saw became ethereal and dreamlike, like watching some strange shadow puppet show in a hazy shadow.
It was a vast and boundless world, a chaotic battle raging both above and below, with flames and thunder raging across the land. Even just watching the shadow puppets from afar, one could feel the terror of the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.
A giant Soaring Serpent was flying in the sky, and upon closer inspection, it was rolling around.
A figure rode on its head, punching it repeatedly in the head. "You lied to me, you shameless stinking snake! Are you cunning? Are you easily frightened? Are you lying? I'll make sure you're covered in bumps!"
The Soaring Serpent covered its head with its wings and was beaten horribly.
An attack swept past, and the figure on his back leaped up, enraged. As if slashing from afar, a strange bird with three heads and six tails was grabbed by the neck and pulled towards him. "Laugh, let you laugh. You think you can stop evil? Come on, let's have a brotherhood! Love each other, and never be separated for all eternity!"
As he spoke, he tied the strange bird and the Soaring Serpent together. Then he clapped his hands and strode away.
The Soaring Serpent and the strange bird struggled desperately, but no one knew what kind of magic the person had used. They were clearly different creatures, but the person almost managed to knead them into one body. Because of their self-restraint, they were both forced back when they tried to pull themselves apart, and they could not break free no matter what they did.
"You must withdraw your Demon Power first!"
"Why didn't you accept it first?! Who would trust a liar like you?"
"Damn idiot!"
"Damn stupid snake!"
The snake and the bird were locked in a fierce battle, with the snake nearly dying from the fight.
After an unknown period of fighting, a divine light appeared in the distance.
It was as if the power to create the world had been unleashed, traversing heaven and earth, shattering everything in its path, and separating the land. It was unknown which two powerful beings had clashed, creating the explosive aftershocks that seemed to destroy the universe.
The snake and the bird were merely grazed by the power of the aftershocks of the battle, and they were instantly killed, falling into the newly cracked earth.
