Chapter 1083

"So you're going to slay demons and subdue monsters now?"

Yu'er tilted her head and asked with a smile.

Da Hui is no longer the same as before. He has even grown his hair long, and his eyes are bloodshot. He looks like a gambler who has been fighting for three days and three nights in a gambling den without rest. He raised the bowl in his hand, but it fell to the ground with a thud. It rolled several times before finally coming to a steady stop at Yu'er's feet. However, by this time, the light on the golden bowl had become very dim.

Da Hui let out a painful howl, and without realizing it, a red glint flashed in his eyes.

"Does it have to be this way? Isn't there any other way???" Da Hui spoke haltingly. The old monk in front of him had wrinkles so deep they could trap a fly. Hearing Da Hui's words, the old monk didn't move, only sighed.

"Foolish child. Foolish child."

Between the two lay a lifeless, mutilated corpse—it was none other than Yu'er!
"Life and death are preordained, all is predetermined, cause and effect are set long ago, and destiny cannot be defied!"

Da Hui, however, gripped a handful of yellow earth on the ground and suddenly looked up and shouted.

"Back then... back then, our master's ascension failed, didn't it? Master, you... I know... I know everything! Perhaps this is your retribution, don't blame me!"

"Hmm?" The old monk was startled upon hearing this.

"I see!"

Within the spiritual platform, Li Ming sat on a lotus platform, his hands forming a Tai Chi seal, his body radiating a faint blue light, while opposite him was a ball of spiritual light intertwined with gold and black.

Within this radiant light, several human faces shifted and changed.

"So what? Is this your plan? To forcibly merge with me using your own memories, to make me a part of you? Zen Master Yanqi, the old monk Moyu, Dahui, Yu'er, and Bai Miao all did the same! And what are you now?"

As he spoke, a ball of spiritual light on the other side gathered and dispersed. Within this spiritual platform, fragments of life memories represented by these names flickered, and everything before was just a tiny fraction of them.

Of course, Li Ming spoke lightly, but the pressure he was under was not low. If he were not originally from outer space, and his true self was the master of a world with extremely profound cultivation and experience of being possessed multiple times, then even a peerless genius who had achieved the first rank of Golden Core would only have the possibility of becoming a part of them under such circumstances.

"Fortunately, that demon god doesn't seem to have any other ideas." Li Ming's heart stirred.

In terms of strength, Li Ming is actually at a disadvantage. However, because of his mental split, he is able to fight and retreat, maintain his mental platform, and even strengthen himself by absorbing a portion of the opponent's spirit.

Unbeknownst to him, beyond this realm, deep within the Heavenly Palace, that unspeakable, great being gently shook his head, smiled, and said...

"Just let 'me' go this time, after all, we already have an opponent now!"

"Heh. I'll do as you say, but remember, you owe me one!" "Owe? I just don't want to miss this opportunity. Even if I were to swallow it, could you handle it?"

"Don't forget, you ultimately didn't take that step; you were just relying on the power of the divine artifact!"

The exchange between the two great beings seemed to happen in an instant, but in the world of immortals and heroes, Li Ming felt as if thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed.

The battle of consciousness was extremely dangerous, but he was one step ahead and ultimately resolved the crisis.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ming's eyes flashed with light, and the Holy Maiden seemed to have just turned to ashes. The others were still firmly bound by the formation, continuing to absorb their vital energy.

Everyone stared intently at Li Ming; their fates were now in his hands.

If it were the model worker who had awakened, none of them would have fared well, but if it were Li Ming, they would still have a chance.

Li Ming slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then smiled, looked around, and made a few hand seals. Now that he had all the old demon's memories, he naturally knew how to break the formation. Moreover, he had also left a hidden weapon in the formation, but before he could use it, he was attacked by the old demon in a suicidal manner, experiencing an extremely dangerous battle of consciousness. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed, and now the greatest danger in the secret realm was gone.

"Don't be afraid. That old demon wanted to possess my body, but my Dao heart is firm and my foundation is solid. He couldn't break through it for a while. Somehow, his soul dissipated and he perished." Li Ming sighed with a look of regret.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Ming had indeed won at the last moment. What they thought in their hearts was left unsaid. Li Ming also knew that they might not easily believe him, but now that he had learned a great secret of this secret realm through the memories of the Silent Demon, he was not in a hurry. He simply said...

"Everyone here has suffered greatly today at the hands of that demon, and Fellow Daoist Qinglong and the Holy Maiden were also killed by him. It was truly a disaster. Now their souls have been scattered and their bodies have been drained of their life essence. They can be considered to have vanished into thin air. I think it best if everyone goes back to their residences to recuperate for a few days. Seven days later, we will send them off together. As for how to leave, I already have some ideas. I will discuss them with everyone after I have thought them through when I get back."

Upon hearing this, no one objected. Everyone thanked Li Ming for his great kindness, but dared not linger. They swallowed the pills and then transformed into streaks of light and left.

Li Ming stood still, and after everyone left, he waved his hand. Two handprints rose from behind his head, grabbing the remaining clothes and other items of the Green Snake and the Holy Maiden. Then he gathered the other array flags, magical artifacts, and other remnants in front of him.

The image of the Holy Maiden's exquisite face flashed through Li Ming's mind, and he felt a pang of regret. This Silent Demon was cunning, meticulous, and possessed many ingenious methods. He combined the strengths of both the Buddhist and demonic paths, making him an absolute demon. Since he had the intention to plot against them, the Green Snake and the Holy Maiden naturally had no chance of escaping.

If he were to regain a physical body and return to the mortal realm, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

Unfortunately, he ran into Li Ming, and his revenge plan had to come to an end. However, the Holy Maiden and the Green Serpent could not be brought back to life. Then Li Ming looked at the remaining fragments of the Gu worms. These Gu worms belonged to the Holy Maiden. Before, with Mo Yu in charge, the Gu worms were still maintaining the operation of the formation.

In his desperate attempt to possess the body, he had burned away everything within the saintess's remains. These Gu worms, whose lives were inextricably linked to their master, were naturally greatly affected. Meanwhile, the others fought back fiercely. In the end, the formation collapsed, and since most of the Gu worms were extremely fragile, they turned into dust. Thus, even though Li Ming possessed Mo Yu's memories, it would be difficult for him to recreate the formation.

However, Li Ming did not intend to use the method of silence to fight against the array spirit, but had another plan.

P.S.: Updates will be sporadic.
