All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 177 Primordial Spirit Technique

Baihekou.

The gunfire in the village has subsided considerably.

Ji Ran walked on the battlefield outside the village and found two corpses based on his memory.

Village head Chen Su, and the Yin Mo Luo Gui who had previously posed a threat to him.

Blood Rose probed inside and quickly collected two magazines.

【Battlefield Fire Magazine】, 【Yinmoro Ghost Magazine】.

Whoosh!
The Heavenly Demon Thorn flew in front of him, gliding across the sky like a fish in a series of agile arcs.

【Demon Thorn】(Spiritual Tool)

Demonic Sacrifice: 331/1000 (Kill a life above st level with your own hands to be promoted to Daozhen)
Because of the presence of Hongwu Ye's spirit, he doesn't need to be distracted and can use the spirit's control to make the Heavenly Demon Thorn reap lives.

Therefore, the accumulation of Heavenly Demon Thorns is very fast.

He had already killed most of the village's warriors, and his physical and mental strength were nearing their limits. Even with his body at the peak of level 3, he was still ultimately made of flesh and blood.

The rest is left to others to finish up.

The sunlight dipped slightly below the horizon, its brightness tinged with a deeper red and less intense. Dark clouds drifted by, edged with fiery gold.

Ji Ran found a spot with fewer corpses and sat down cross-legged.

His inner vision, circulated rapidly, allowing him to recover his energy. His injuries were not serious; the main issue was physical exhaustion.

In this battle, he didn't even manage to unleash the Wrathful Beast.

But after this battle, the strangeness of this world grew stronger for him. He had killed so many first-tier warriors, yet he hadn't lost a single "Qi".

He already sensed something was wrong when the Japanese pirate general and his demon-like attendant from the Bohai Sea hadn't fallen.

The death of a key figure, and not even a single ordinary Qi is lost?
Shouldn't.

This phenomenon is even stranger when considered in conjunction with one's own luck score of 3.

If one receives feedback after stealing a life, it means that one has indeed killed the target. However, one finds none of the Qi that is inherent in the target.

So, where did Qi go?

Of those who died, some...

Ji Ran's eyes suddenly lit up!
In this world, those who die are not truly dead!

The Celestial Records of the Grand Historian!

Even someone as fortunate and long-lived as Grandfather Li Yan, who was not even as good as an ordinary person, could enter the Imperial Records of the Grand Historian after death!

Some people in this world do not disappear after they die!
The eternal existence of the soul is a characteristic of this world that sets it apart from the heavens!
This is a world of spiritual practice.

Those who are killed by themselves may only die physically! Their souls will go to a place similar to the Taishi Tianlu after death!

Ji Ran vaguely grasped something.

Tick.

A raindrop fell, and leaden-gray rain clouds gradually appeared in the sky.

Ji Ran watched the raindrops fall onto the soil and slowly seep in and disappear. Rainwater should seep into the soil; if it stays on the surface, that's definitely wrong.

Should the spirit exist outside the physical body?
Everyone is using spirits in battle. Spirits can serve as armor, as substitutes, or as an external entity enveloping oneself in combat!

Using guardian deities to withstand bullets and then engaging in close combat is a common tactic employed by all members of the Boxer Rebellion.

A comparison of the strength of guardian deities: whose guardian deity is more solidified outside the body!

However, the spirit should reside within the body! To place the spirit outside the body and cultivate towards solidification is putting the cart before the horse!

[Beast of Madness: You have entered a state of enlightenment!]

Mentally, Ji Ran felt her mind suddenly go completely blank!
boom!
The body of Emperor Hongwu appeared behind him.

Ji Ran's mind was filled with images of himself fighting the ghost.

All those images, frame by frame, appeared before me in that state of sudden enlightenment!

At the start of the battle, he sliced ​​open the village entrance of Chen Su with a single stroke. Large parts of his internal organs turned into blue and red flames! But a few major organs remained, still made of flesh and blood.

I cut him in half from the middle!

If I had been slightly off-center and cut open his heart before it turned into flames, he would have died! Isn't becoming a demon just a way of incorporating a spirit into one's body?

However, the evil spirits they infuse can lead to mental instability. The Westerners, on the other hand, fuse alchemical weapons with flesh and blood, essentially allowing them to absorb the spirit attached to the alchemical weapon into their own bodies, albeit through a layer of metal!
Incorporate into the body!

Become a ghost!
A flash of bloodlust appeared in Ji Ran's eyes! The spirit of Hongwu behind him suddenly entered his body! The skill of becoming a demon is an evil spirit actively possessing another body.

Normally, guardian deities without consciousness cannot perform this possession. Therefore, the phenomenon of demonization has always been unique to the Japanese, who associate with evil spirits.

However, by stealing life and plundering skills, he manipulated the unconscious spirit to complete the process in a way that was almost rule-based.

boom!
Ji Ran felt as if her internal organs were squeezed together inside her body! A scalding heat surged through her limbs and bones!
But I managed to pull through!

This aura gradually adapted to his spiritual body, as if Hongwu Ye's aura had always belonged to him.

This is the effect of a 100% compatibility!
But Hongwu's spirit seemed to want to merge with his own soul, yet lacked a medium. His own soul and spirit were squeezed together, like identical twins.

But they cannot be combined into one.

"Ok?"

Ji Ran felt a flow.

In the lower abdomen of his own soul and the spirit of Hongwu, a current of energy communicated with each other.

It is the Yellow Court Inner Classic!

The breathing technique in this scripture can connect two spirits!
Ji Ran immediately infiltrated Hongwu's spirit body with his consciousness, and controlled him to circulate the Yellow Court Inner Scripture just as he controlled the Heavenly Demon Thorn!

In a state of sudden enlightenment, Ji Ran's memory and ability to capture details are particularly accurate!
Gradually, the two spirits began to communicate more and more closely. Ji Ran memorized a completely different operational path that originated from the Huangting Neijing Jing.

Bang bang!

Bang!
The fluctuations of the two spirits eventually became completely synchronized at a certain moment!
hum!
Ji Ran saw that the spirit that had originally occupied his entire body was beginning to shrink! Finally, it sat upright on his lower abdomen!
A crimson robe covered him, and a tiny figure with features exactly like his own closed his eyes.

In my own state, the three words "Guardian Deity" gradually dissipated.

Instead, a different state has emerged!
[Primordial Spirit]: Peak Level 3!
The original characteristics and skills remain.

This is the true essence of cultivation in this world!
With the help of the Yellow Court Inner Landscape Scripture, I have developed a new breathing method that integrates with the guardian deities!
The instant the primordial spirit takes shape!

Ji Ran felt like someone whose feet had been locked in heavy shackles for twenty years, and an unparalleled urge to run wild surged in his heart!

hum!
The next moment, the little figure inside him opened its eyes!

Those blood-red pupils carried a calm killing intent, exuding an imposing aura without anger!
Whoosh!
The little figure flew directly out of Ji Ran's body! A cold wind and drizzle blew by, but were blocked by the white bones climbing on the robes outside the primordial spirit's body!

A normal primordial spirit, in its current first-tier state, is unable to withstand wind and rain.

However, the more than two thousand evil spirits he had killed could protect his primordial spirit from two thousand ordinary cold winds and raindrops!
The primordial spirit looked down and saw its physical body sitting on the ground with its eyes closed.

This feeling is extremely mysterious.

Ji Ran suddenly darted upwards! He nimbly dodged the drizzle, and when he was occasionally hit by raindrops, only a few white bones were missing from his blood-red robe.

He felt an unparalleled sense of freedom.

Ji Ran's vision broke through the shackles of the physical body; everything that could be seen in his field of vision could be reflected in his eyes!

He saw that the battle was almost over.

They saw Luo Rongguang heading this way. They saw Zhu Yu commanding all the Boxers, fiercely fighting the remaining Japanese pirates. Those previously disorganized Boxers, under his command, actually had a surprisingly disciplined air about them!
He saw further into the distance, he saw the Temple of the Sea God, and he saw Liu Heqin hiding within the area of ​​the divine descent, not daring to come out.

At this moment, Ji Ran even wanted to abandon her physical body and fly freely in the sky!
[Beast of Madness: The probability of going berserk is currently increased.]

Ji Ran flew higher and higher, enjoying himself more and more. Above his head, a black cloud was edged with the blood-red light of the setting sun, and silver lightning snakes were faintly rolling inside.

No matter how many evil spirits were on Ji Ran's robes, they could not stop the thunder from annihilating a first-order primordial spirit!

"Um!?"

Suddenly, a sight in his field of vision jolted Ji Ran awake from his mad beast state!
On the far-off sea!
Ironclad warships, shrouded in mist and dark clouds, resembled ferocious sea beasts, sailing towards Dagu Port!
The Allied fleet is here!
Ji Ran also realized his location at this moment and was so frightened that he immediately descended!
However, his gaze remained fixed on the approaching fleet!
The primordial spirit paused slightly in the rain, suddenly grasped the Heavenly Demon Thorn, and then vanished abruptly!
……

Da da da!
In the drizzle, Luo Rongguang and his group appeared in front of Ji Ran!

His expression changed abruptly when he looked around!

He did all of this?!
Before Luo Rongguang could think any further, a gray light shot out from behind him!
Tick ​​tock!

Luo Rongguang felt a heat on his cheek, and when he touched it, he found it was blood.

He looked up and saw Ji Ran, who was sitting on the ground, open his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, like a cold pool washed by rain, as bright as a baby's.

A pale human head, impaled by a sharp spike, floated in front of Ji Ran.

The head is old, but the blood is still warm.
