Left Path Primordial Spirit (5/5)
"?"
The moment that Taotie maw swallowed the Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect, Li Boyang lost contact with it.
Not only that, after that Taotie beast let out a satisfied burp...
His face also changed, and the [God Mask] of that Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect actually appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the raging Sha Qi fire also enveloped the gluttonous giant mouth, creating a scorching fire cloud in the sky.
"It can actually absorb my abilities?"
With its red hair, double horns, sharp teeth, and the fiery aura surrounding it, Li Boyang immediately understood—the enormous mouth of the Witch King's incarnation must possess an ability similar to absorption and replication.
"However, you seem to have forgotten that the body you're using now was made by me!"
I've figured out your cards. Let's just end this pointless battle already!
Before the Witch King could realize the meaning of those words, Li Boyang formed a Law Seals.
Tumultuous!
In an instant, the Life Primordial Qi within the Witch King's body began to run rampant and out of control.
Affected by this, the Gluttonous Mouth was forced to revert to its original human form before it could even unleash its full power.
"I see--"
Somewhat surprised and somewhat bewildered, he watched as the Life Primordial Qi within his body merged with the Sha Qi fire from the outside world, ultimately transforming into a ferocious fire dragon.
The Witch King knew then that Li Boyang had indeed won the battle.
This fire dragon is the very "Fire Dragon of Sha Qi" that was imbued with spirituality by the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron.
It is a combination of Life Primordial Qi and Sha Qi, and a spiritual force that flows through every meridian in the body of the axe.
If it weren't for the existence of the Witch King.
This spirituality should have merged with him, and then truly become a part of his body.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "what if" in this world.
The result was that this spirituality did not merge with the pavement; instead, it became the will of the Life Primordial Qi.
Therefore, when Li Boyang awakened this spiritual essence, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
"What a pity, I never got to witness your true abilities!"
With a soft sigh, the Witch King could feel himself losing control of this body.
No, it's not just about losing control.
My own consciousness is being expelled from this body, replaced by a complete fusion with that spiritual being.
Strangely, the ability he had given himself was perfectly preserved.
Moreover, even its own memories are being absorbed and digested by that spirituality, becoming nourishment for its growth.
"I now believe you can help that child process the memories of the Guhuo Bird— "
She offered no further resistance throughout the entire process.
At this moment, the Witch King displayed an unexpected nonchalance.
"But before I disappear, will I be able to find out what this 'fire dragon' really is?"
He turned his head and glanced at the fire dragons surrounding him.
The Witch King seemed to see another version of himself in a different guise.
It is a spiritual body composed of Sha Qi and Life Primordial Qi, an illusory existence existing between existence and non-existence.
Its essence is close to the divine creation of heaven and earth, yet it truly exists by relying on it.
I can feel it—
"He originates from the soul, yet transcends the soul."
Faced with the Witch King's undisguised curiosity, Li Boyang remained quite composed.
"You can call it Primordial Spirit,' a kind of ' Left Path Primordial Spirit ' quickly formed through unconventional means."
"It cannot exist independently, nor can it even escape the constraints of its current physical body. Instead, it continuously draws upon the life force of the body to maintain its own existence."
"But for those you've turned into Witchcraft Artifact, with their souls incomplete, this is the only way to make them human again and regain their sense of self."
Li Boyang was telling the truth. The normal Primordial Spirit is the spirituality hidden in the sea of consciousness. It is the external manifestation of the soul and a bridge for communication between humans and the natural world.
However, the original spirituality of this Left Path Primordial Spirit originated from the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron and had no relation to its original body.
Therefore, this Left Path Primordial Spirit only has Primordial Spirit, and no corresponding Cognitive Spirit.
Naturally, they also lacked the Premonition Divine Ability.
However, although it is missing half of its functions, this Left Path Primordial Spirit still possesses the most basic functions of Primordial Spirit.
Whether it's coordinating various physiological activities and psychological functions of the body, or responding to the natural order of heaven and earth, or manifesting the form of the Yin Deity to fight, these most basic functions of the Primordial Spirit are enough to free one from the consciousness of the Witch King and become a truly independent individual once again.
"What you said is not wrong."
"With the current vitality of this body, it's more than enough to maintain the existence of this Primordial Spirit."
"However, you're mistaken about one thing: every Sikou) voluntarily accepted my reformation; I didn't force them to do anything against their will."
In the final moments before losing consciousness, the Witch King simply stared at the slightly bewildered Li Boyang and smiled.
"His memories haven't been altered by me, and he's never lied to you from beginning to end—"
He died before he became the Sikou.
"I gave him a second life, but you have truly resurrected the dead."
The distant Central Continent, the capital region of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This is the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, the place where the Common Lord of the world worships his ancestors and deities.
All the gods who belong to the Central Continent have a place here, receiving sacrifices and worship from mortals.
Right in the very heart of this capital region, a towering Heaven-Reaching Tower soaring into the clouds stands out so strikingly that it is far more awe-inspiring than the statues and altars of the gods who receive worship.
Let alone in this era, even on Earth in the 21st century.
This tower, with its half-submerged structure floating above the clouds, is a miracle never seen before.
Because this is the boundary between God and man.
It is the Heaven-Reaching Tower built by the Great Xia Witch King, the Common Lord of all under heaven, using the power of the gods.
"Reversing death and bringing back life, that cauldron must be the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron of the Guifang Kingdom, right?"
Atop a towering building high in the clouds, a man with a rugged face and a robust physique slowly opened his eyes.
Although the man was dressed in burlap and straw sandals, he could not conceal the dignity and solemnity that emanated from within.
"Wu Yi, ascend the Heaven-Reaching Tower during non-sacrificial periods."
Even if you are now the Common Lord, it is still an offense to the gods.
Without a sound, an elderly man with a cane and a hunched back appeared behind the man.
"Shen Zhang?"
Without even turning his head, Wu Yi simply smiled faintly.
"Master, what has happened outside that allowed you to come to this Heaven-Reaching Tower without any hesitation?"
Upon hearing this, the old man could only sigh imperceptibly, knowing that Wu Yi had not taken his advice to heart at all.
"It was the Huai River god who was unhappy with the statue you toppled and forced the priests to recite your deeds, thus causing a flood in the upper reaches of the Huai River."
"The Grand Minister of Works, of the Youyu Clan, has already gone to the Huai River, Gonggong Clan has also made preparations to quell the rebellion."
"But the Huai River God is ultimately a water ape born of heaven and earth; I estimate we are no match for it."
"Moreover, if that water ape successfully unleashes a flood, it won't just be our Great Xia that suffers; many more water gods and monsters will also take the opportunity to wreak havoc on the common people."
