Although the fire lotus is only three inches long, the flames on its body are exceptionally intense. Ordinary spiritual weapons are completely powerless against it.
Just as Lin Yu finished dealing with the fire lotus, the spiritual consciousness within it began to invade his soul, attempting to take over his body.
"Hmph, you don't have the strength to possess my body!" Lin Yu's consciousness stirred, and he immediately isolated the fire lotus's spiritual sense.
"Oh no! This kid can actually seal my spiritual consciousness! This is terrible! He'll definitely control my spiritual consciousness, and then I'll become his puppet!"
"Damn it!" the fire lotus roared, then frantically propelled itself outwards. "Boy, you just wait! After I possess your body, your death is nigh!"
The fire lotus roared and charged outwards.
"Can you escape?"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, and instantly swung out the dark sword in his hand, chasing after the fire lotus.
This fiery lotus actually tried to possess Lin Yu, which Lin Yu absolutely could not allow. Therefore, the moment the fiery lotus's consciousness rushed into the depths of his soul, Lin Yu activated the spiritual power within his own soul to seal the fiery lotus's consciousness.
Bang!
Lin Yu swung his sword and cleaved the fire lotus in two.
Whew~
The spirit of the fiery lotus withdrew from the depths of Lin Yu's soul, then quickly shrank back into a fiery red lotus seed, hovering above Lin Yu's chest.
"This... how is this possible? I was actually suppressed by a human with such low cultivation level! How is this possible?!"
The Fire Lotus's spirit appeared extremely panicked; in its memory, such a situation had never occurred before in all these years.
"No, I don't believe it! How could I, a dignified spiritual herb, be defeated by a human like you!" Fire Lotus roared angrily.
It struggled desperately, trying to break free from Lin Yu's soul bondage, but no matter how hard it tried, it was all in vain.
"You're wasting your energy. Under my soul power, you'll never escape!" Lin Yu snorted coldly.
"Ahhh~" The fiery lotus seemed furious, but helpless, and could only watch as Lin Yu's soul grew larger and larger.
"No, no, I can't accept this. I'm going to kill you!" Fire Lotus's face grew increasingly ferocious.
Within the spiritual consciousness of that fire lotus, clusters of blazing flames rose up, and as the flames rose, a terrifyingly high temperature spread out.
The temperature of these flames was extremely high, and even Lin Yu's soul power could not withstand it. Lin Yu quickly withdrew his soul power to avoid having his soul burned by the fire lotus.
Rumble~
As the flames rose, Lin Yu's body slowly disappeared.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly. He could clearly feel his body slowly disappearing, but a faint purple light protected his body, preventing the fire lotus from burning.
"The spiritual energy within this body is so rich and pure; it seems this must be a spiritual body."
Lin Yu observed carefully and quickly noticed the difference.
This body contains not only Lin Yu 'Spiritual Qi body, but also the fire spirit stones and fire spirit grass. Both of these contain Spiritual Qi, but the quality of their Spiritual Qi is much lower than that of the fire Spiritual Qi.
"No wonder these fire lotuses were absorbed by the fire spirit beasts; it turns out they were cultivating using the fire lotuses," Lin Yu suddenly realized.
Lin Yu had suspected before that the fire spirit beast was cultivating with the help of the fire lotus, after all, Lin Yu had seen it once before.
"Hmph, brat, I'm going to devour your spiritual power now, and I'll devour your intelligence as well!" Fire Lotus roared angrily.
"Devour my intelligence? I'm standing right here. If you want to devour me, go ahead and try. But if you dare to do anything wrong, I guarantee I'll destroy your intelligence immediately!" Lin Yu sneered.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Fire Lotus's intelligence faltered slightly, but it still dared not make a move.
The Fire Spirit Beast possesses intelligence; if Lin Yu were to extinguish its intelligence, it would no longer belong to the Fire Lotus.
The Fire Lotus remained silent for a moment before speaking, "It seems that something strange is hidden within your spiritual consciousness. That thing is very dangerous. I'll let you go for now, but if you dare to deceive me, I will not forgive you!"
Hearing Fire Lotus's words, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Fire Lotus would attack the treasure in his spiritual consciousness, but fortunately, Fire Lotus did not do anything foolish. It did not spy on his spiritual consciousness but chose to compromise for the time being.
"Heh, this fire lotus is quite clever!" Lin Yu sneered inwardly.
"Hmph!"
The fire lotus gave an angry snort, and then quickly flew away into the distance.
Lin Yu watched the fire lotus fly away, thinking to himself that this fire lotus was quite a peculiar existence. In this sea area, the only thing that could contend with it was a demonic beast, the Thunder Eagle King, but the Thunder Eagle King had long since perished.
"However, I can't be careless. This fire lotus can devour other people's spiritual consciousness. If it regains its memories, it will definitely cause me trouble. Fortunately, I have a Qiankun Ring that can conceal my spiritual consciousness, making it think that my spiritual consciousness has not yet awakened. Otherwise, with its spiritual consciousness, it would probably have come knocking on my door long ago!" Lin Yu thought to himself.
Lin Yu did not intend to stay here any longer, because there were many fire spirit beasts nearby. If he encountered a fire spirit beast, it would be no joke. The fire lotus could devour spiritual consciousness, so it could naturally devour the spiritual consciousness of others. These fire spirit beasts were the best example. If they found an opportunity to devour Lin Yu's spiritual consciousness, Lin Yu's life would probably be in danger. Therefore, he had to leave as soon as possible.
Lin Yu had a thought and prepared to leave, but he suddenly stopped after taking just one step.
"No, how can I leave so easily? This fire lotus's intelligence is merely imprisoned within its spiritual consciousness. If I could completely control it, perhaps..."
Suddenly, Lin Yu thought of something. He spread his spiritual sense, covering an area of about a thousand meters. Then, he was surprised to find that there were hundreds of fire spirit beasts within his spiritual sense range. Their intelligence was not very high, not even as high as that of cultivators. However, their combat power was astonishing. They could even fight against experts at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage.
"Hahaha, interesting, this is really interesting!" Lin Yu laughed loudly, then slowly withdrew his spiritual sense.
"Hehe, looks like I've found a treasure!" Lin Yu laughed.
