Although the Three Demons can induce emotional fluctuations in people's hearts, and even bring out inner demons, at this moment, facing the tide of souls, their methods are somewhat ineffective.
It's true that evoking emotional changes is important, but in the current state, any negative emotions will only intensify the souls' aggressive desires.
Although they were of high rank, the cultivators themselves possessed a wide variety of methods. Under the attack of such a large number of souls, the Three Demons ' defenses were quickly torn open.
Countless souls seemed to have found an entrance, and they poured into the Three Demons ' souls to devour them.
It was truly like a locust swarm passing through, or Zombie apocalypse besieging a city; the souls of the Three Demons shrank at a visible speed.
On the contrary, the souls of Ji Nanzhi, Ge Baoqi, and Old Ox grew stronger and stronger within this pile of souls.
The three of them were already highly skilled, and they also had a continuous supply of Magic Power. As one side grew stronger and the other weakened, the stalemate resulted in their soul power growing even stronger.
Originally, the battlefield of this confrontation was within the bodies of the Three Demons. However, as the Three Demons began to become somewhat flustered due to the impact on their souls, the three of them also successfully took over a portion of the body's authority.
As they lost control of their bodies, the Three Demons found it increasingly difficult to resist the onslaught of the soul tide.
"Realm, fully unlocked!"
In the midst of the chaos, the Hatred Demon remembered something and hurriedly prepared to activate its final form.
However, the thought in my mind only lasted for a moment, and was altered when I reached a certain location.
That's right, the body control that Ji Nanzhi took over was right at the point where the Hatred Demon was about to unleash its power. If it wanted to use its own abilities, it would have to kick Ji Nanzhi out first.
But the problem now is that he no longer has that ability.
Ji Nanzhi had quickly conquered most of the territory. Although Hatred Demon was unwilling, under Ji Nanzhi's overwhelming attack, half of his soul was wasted away.
"You... you mustn't forget, I'm the one who promoted you."
"Thank you so much. In return, I'll take over your body."
Ji Nanzhi remained unmoved; he would not give up until he had taken its body.
"You two idiots, can't you be of any use?!"
Seeing that Ji Nanzhi was about to possess it, the Hatred Demon couldn't help but shout.
However, when his gaze fell upon the two men, he discovered that they weren't in much better shape than he was.
Old Ox and Ge Baoqi were very familiar with the demons they had each possessed.
Having dealt with them for many years, although they rarely revealed their abilities, the group gradually figured out the key points of how they used their powers and circulated energy.
With the immense blessing of good fortune, their first step in the possession was to successfully seize several key energy nodes.
Having seized the energy node, the Heavenly Demons were unable to unleash their original abilities. Moreover, their cultivation skills were clearly not as profound as those of Ji Nanzhi and the others. In addition, with so many souls contaminating them, the entire battle situation suddenly shifted in Ji Nanzhi's favor.
The process of possession was extremely brutal, with countless souls annihilated, and the Heavenly Demon's soul was torn into several pieces.
Ji Nanzhi, Ge Baoqi, and the others began to use the initial version of the Record of All Living Beings Weeping Blood to refine the fragmented souls of the Heavenly Demons.
The remaining remains after the cultivation technique was completed were swallowed by the group of them.
The devouring of souls is inherently dangerous, since once devoured, the memories of both parties will mix together, making it difficult to guarantee the purity of one's own soul.
But in order to speed up the process of possession, they had no other choice but to do it this way.
At worst, I can distribute the jumbled memories through the Scarlet Heart Art.
When the Crimson Scarlet Heart Art was initially unstable, the memories of several people were confused for a considerable period of time. The same approach can be used to deal with the memories of this Heavenly Demon.
Seeing Ji Nanzhi and the others acting so wildly, the Heavenly Demons were clearly also inspired to become somewhat crazed.
It's just eating, anyone can do that!
The soul, still under control, opened its maw and devoured everything, including its own mangled body and the souls that surged up from it.
The battle between the two sides, which was originally a tug-of-war, turned into a game like Snake.
As time went by, the tide of souls dwindled, threatening to exhaust itself. At this point, Ji Nanzhi's soul was finally able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Demon's soul.
The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce; within the body of the Heavenly Demon, the battle took place on every inch of skin and body tissue.
"Hurry, our luck is about to run out."
While the two sides were still locked in a stalemate, Tang Huhu's side also couldn't hold on any longer.
The fortune of tens of millions of people has been largely depleted in this short period of time, and it looks like it's about to burn out completely.
Ji Nanzhi no longer hesitated. He had originally thought that directly devouring the Heavenly Demon's soul might carry some unknown risks, but in the current situation, he was clearly in a bind and had no choice but to take the plunge.
"Madmen, all of them are madmen. Wouldn't it be better for you to live your lives, second only to the emperor and above all others?"
Ji Nanzhi, having made up his mind, abandoned all defense and bit into the remnant soul of the Hatred Demon, adopting a desperate, life-or-death fighting style.
"Ha, you heretic, what do you know?"
I couldn't be bothered to waste my breath on them. These guys' values are fundamentally different from those of Divine Land People, so there's no point in arguing further.
" Brother Ji, let me help you!"
Just as Ji Nanzhi was still at a stalemate, Old Ox's voice came over.
Ji Nanzhi turned his head and saw that Old Ox had moved even faster than him; his possession had been completed first.
"You..."
Ji Nanzhi was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that the first to achieve his goal would be Old Ox.
"We'll talk about this after we're done. Let's take care of this bastard first."
With the intervention of another soul, Ji Nanzhi and Old Ox successfully defeated the Hatred Demon.
In the end, only the Envy Demon and that guy Ge Baoqi remained.
When the two souls rushed over, Ge Baoqi was chasing the soul of the Envy Demon all over the place.
Seeing the two arrive to help him, he stopped his cat-and-mouse game and captured the Envy Demon in one fell swoop.
As the Three Demons were annihilated, their already wounded souls returned to their bodies.
After a while, the three demonic bodies opened their eyes.
However, the previous brutality and arrogance were gone from his eyes, replaced by a very relaxed expression.
The matter... is settled.
Overwhelmed by a weariness that seemed to originate from the soul, the three of them involuntarily closed their eyes.
The depleted fortune began to take effect, and their bodies, operating unconsciously, began to disintegrate to varying degrees.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong noticed this immediately and cast several healing spells on them.
This backlash from bad luck is truly dangerous. With such low fortune, even lying down and sleeping could cause one 'Magic Power to go berserk, potentially leading to death in a daze.
