Heaven and Earth Forsake Me; I Stand Alone (23)
Let's rewind a little bit, to the Ghost God Cave.
"Who will become the true form of the Heaven-Eroding Lord?"
When the Big Black Dog asked that question, Guirong Clan was clearly taken aback.
The reason He was stunned at this moment was not just because of the Big Black Dog, but because the other party should not be so clear-headed at this moment.
"How is this possible?"
I couldn't help but ask that question.
This also shows that the Guirong Clan was indeed caught off guard.
Although He inherited the Divine Ability Law Technique of the Heaven-Eroding Lord.
However, it's impossible to completely assimilate the Big Black Dog without any cost.
He had deliberately released his memories to shock the Big Black Dog.
The purpose was to break down the other party's defenses and seize the opportunity to take control of the entire integration process.
The Guirong Clan had been looking forward to this day for a full thousand years, and had also prepared for all possible unforeseen circumstances.
However, He had not anticipated that the Big Black Dog would recover its composure so quickly.
No, the other person might not have had their defenses breached from the beginning, but was deliberately waiting for you to make contact with them.
Tumultuous!
At the point where Guirong Clan and the Big Black Dog made contact, a faint, jet-black light was beginning to form.
That was the fusion of Yin and Yang, the essence of the power of the Guirong Clan and the Big Black Dog, and also a sign of the return of the former Heaven-Eroding Lord.
"Nothing is impossible..."
A rare glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
The Big Black Dog did not offer any explanation to the Guirong Clan.
However, as their powers merged, Guirong Clan had already glimpsed the other's memories—the power of their Primordial Spirit.
"It's that Red-Haired Ghost again!"
For the first time Guirong Clan, filled with shock and anger, felt a sense of regret.
Why didn't I choose to kill Li Boyang myself from the very beginning?
The Primordial Spirit is the source of the soul, the spiritual essence that arises at the very beginning of a living being's birth.
The moment the Big Black Dog achieved the Primordial Spirit, it realized that its memories and even its power might not be complete.
If someone uses this as a "flaw" to attack.
Any normal living being would inevitably experience mental turmoil and develop Heart Demon.
Unfortunately, while cultivating his Primordial Spirit, the Big Black Dog also embarked on the path of the Primordial Core, a path of "when heaven and earth are cut off, I stand alone."
It voluntarily abandoned its original power and instead cultivated a new Primordial Core.
This Primordial Core is not the Yang aspect of the Heaven-Eroding Lord, but rather the essence, energy, and spirit of the Big Black Dog as an independent individual.
From that moment on, the Big Black Dog shed its identity as "the incarnation of the Heaven-Eroding Lord" and became a truly independent being.
In this situation, the Big Black Dog might not be able to be completely immune to and prevent the birth of Heart Demon like Li Boyang.
But what if someone were to use that fragmented memory as a "flaw" to attack him?
That's how situations like this, where things go wrong unexpectedly, occur.
"This has nothing to do with Li Boyang; it's simply a matter of our different choices."
As the fusion continued, the Big Black Dog's Primordial Spirit quietly slipped into the dark light.
"Although I lost that crucial memory, I have been searching for myself..."
"On the contrary, you are immersed in the former power of the Heaven-Eroding Lord, and only want to recreate the Heaven-Eroding Lord who devoured the sky and the sun."
You are still living in the past, but I have already embarked on the path to the future.
The birth of the Primordial Spirit signifies the consolidation of self-awareness.
The consolidation of self-awareness means that the Big Black Dog will have an absolute advantage in this battle of wits.
No! I still have hope!
Realizing this as well, Guirong Clan's face became even more ferocious.
"The Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation, the Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation that Li Boyang refined..."
"That's the most powerful Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation we've ever seen..."
"Its power far surpasses the power that separated us when Wu Yao did it."
"As long as I can obtain it, what does it matter if you've cultivated to the Primordial Spirit!"
"We will eventually become one again, and I will inevitably be the one in charge!"
Consciousness also entered that pitch-black light.
However, the Blood Demon Body controlled by the Guirong Clan has already found a way to break it.
As the two sides shared their memories and abilities, the existence of the [Taiji Diagram] also came into the sight of the Guirong Clan.
Based on the shell of Lu Gui, it also incorporates the Divine Power of the Green Wood Clan.
The power contained in that [Taiji Diagram] has long surpassed the ordinary concept of "Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation" and is a supreme artifact that can truly affect the Heavenly Deity.
Not to mention, the profound mystery of the [Taiji Diagram] cannot be measured by the strength of force alone.
Call out!
In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon transformed into a phantom and soared into the sky.
Since the top of Ghost God Cliff is directly above Ghost God Cave, the conflict between the Guirong Clan and the Big Black Dog also interfered with the operation of the seal on Flying Peak.
Therefore, the Blood Demon encountered almost no obstacles and successfully passed through the thick rock wall, appearing at the top of Ghost God Cliff.
Tumultuous!
It was the time when the sun was rising in the east.
The entire Flying Peak was ignited by Xiluo's flames.
The hideous and terrifying Ghost God tried time and time again to break free of their restraints, but were successfully suppressed by Xiluo each time.
So when the Blood Demon first appeared at the Ghost God Cliff.
The flustered Xiluo didn't even notice the fleeting blood shadow.
Boom!
Just as the Blood Demon approached the altar, a metallic gleam suddenly sent it flying.
"Kid, this isn't a place for you!"
Amidst the astonished gazes of Xiluo and even the assembled Ghost God, Kunwu, one of the Gods of the Four Directions of the west— the Totem Deity —made his move.
In the blink of an eye, a faint metallic sheen enveloped the entire altar.
The Totem Deity, whose seal had also loosened, not only did not try to break free of his restraints, but instead used this power to protect the altar.
"Are you... insane?"
The God of Fire, one of the Gods of the Four Directions, exclaimed in shock.
He simply couldn't understand why the Totem Deity would intervene to help Xiluo at this crucial moment, instead of taking the opportunity to break free of the seal.
"Because I am Kunwu, the guardian deity of the Tieyu Tribe!"
"I was never the same as you misfits from the very beginning..."
"I was sealed here simply because I couldn't accept Wu Yao's weak nature."
"I really like humans, and I really enjoy watching them gradually explore and grow..."
"A thousand years have passed, and I have finally managed to see Wu Yao's shadow in Li Boyang again."
"Most importantly, he doesn't have Wu Yao's weak and compromising temperament, so how could I just sit idly by?"
Kunwu's words successfully angered the Ghost God who were trying to escape, but He didn't care at all.
After all, Kunwu would care about the opinions of outsiders and other gods.
She wouldn't have stubbornly kept poking at Wu Yao's sore spots, nor would she have been sealed on Flying Peak for a thousand years, refusing to compromise even the slightest.
