Yan Chihuo's soul had clashed with that demonic Dao soul fragment in his sea of consciousness, only to find himself outmatched and forced back step by step. He was greatly astonished. Though the demonic Dao soul fragment's soul was formidable, it should still have fallen far short of Yan Chihuo's. Yet it contained an exceedingly strange power that continuously devoured the strength of his soul.
This demonic Dao soul fragment was not merely a soul body; it also possessed origin true qi. Though this origin true qi could not compare to a physical body, it still had a fraction of a body's effects. She had relied entirely on this origin true qi to cultivate to the Dao Integration Stage, but without a physical body, she could not sustain it for long. In her recent fight with Yan Chihuo and Su Yuwen, she had taken a blow from the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler, been attacked by the two of them and a flood dragon, and launched counterattacks of her own, consuming a great deal of power.
More critically, after her origin true qi was damaged, this demonic Dao soul fragment had forcibly broken through to the Dao Integration Stage in order to subdue the two in a single blow. Unexpectedly, she failed, and the expenditure was even more staggering. It left her with no choice but to seize Yan Chihuo's body.
This kind of body seizure by a demonic Dao soul fragment was only temporary. Before long, the body used for the seizure would collapse. Thus, she would never forcibly seize Su Yuwen's body, for that was her own physical body.
Though Yan Chihuo's cultivation was ordinary, his body was exceptional. This demonic Dao soul fragment had long had her eye on it, intending to refine it into a puppet.
