I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 36 Heart-Stealing Demon

"If you weren't afraid of me, why would you forcibly awaken my inner demons?"

Now, Li Boyang has basically figured out the old man's situation.

After being killed by himself, the strange old man's soul unexpectedly fell into the Black Cloud Marsh and transformed into an evil ghost.

Although this evil spirit was not strong at first.

It might not even be as evil as the demons recorded in the "Nine Chapters of Divination".

However, there was a fierce god in the Black Cloud Marsh that had been sealed away by the witch of Huaijiang—the gnf.

Perhaps it was simply exploitation, or perhaps some kind of deal was struck...

In short, the old man who had transformed into a demon released the ferocious god, the gnat, and took the opportunity to transform himself from a demon into a malevolent being.

Immediately afterwards, the old man began to "refine evil spirits" using a cruel method.

Even the previously unformed Black Fiend...

The evil spirit currently fighting Xi Luo and the flying sword...

Those were all evil spirits created by the old man who imprisoned the essence of living beings in the black mist and used their resentment to kill and devour each other.

These evil spirits are born with different supernatural powers, making them more ferocious and troublesome than ordinary ghosts.

Considering that both Xiluo and Jianwan were clearly countered by Shagui.

Li Boyang had reason to suspect that the old man had specifically crafted those evil spirits.

Perhaps the only thing the old man hadn't expected was that Panhu would suddenly appear as an intruder.

"Panhu's appearance greatly exceeded your expectations; he has mastered the means to truly kill those evil spirits."

"So you panicked and forcibly awakened my inner demon, trying to turn it into a vengeful ghost as well..."

"Unfortunately, your underhanded tactics have no effect on me."

The Heavenly Fate Bone Armor spun in his palm, and Li Boyang's words successfully broke the old man's defenses once again.

"Heh, I didn't forcibly awaken your inner demons..."

“Those are your true nature, the murderous intent and malice that you don’t acknowledge.”

"That hideous, blue-faced, fanged appearance you had before was your true form as an extraterrestrial demon!"

The old man paused slightly at this point.

“I used the ‘Ghostly Secret Method’ to refine evil spirits, and in the end I even went so far as to merge with those evil spirits to barely gain the power to control them.”

"On the other hand, you extraterrestrial demon, you can manifest a shadow demon with just a little killing intent and evil thoughts!"

"If the mountain god knew what happened to you, she would probably kill you immediately!"

The malicious words expressed the old man's anger and resentment.

Although he has regained his rationality, the old man is now ultimately a ghost king.

His resentment and bitterness from his previous life, coupled with the continued influence of those evil spirits, made him extremely extreme and obsessive.

However, it was precisely because of this extreme bias that Li Boyang was able to extract more useful information from the other party's words.

"The secret method of ghosts?"

"Is this the source of your confidence that allows you to transform yourself into this inhuman, ghost-like creature?"

His tone was still laced with disdain, and Li Boyang's words pierced the old man's most sensitive spot like a sharp thorn.

"You damned extraterrestrial demon, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up here!?"

"I am the High Priest of the Ghost Fang Kingdom, born with the worship of ten thousand people, enjoying endless wealth and glory. How could you lowly commoners and sacrificial animals possibly fathom my existence!?"

As the old man's resentment intensified, his body became increasingly more like a physical form.

"But it's alright, I've already mastered the 'Heart-Stealing Demon'..."

"Once I take over your body, I will eventually be able to become the 'orthodox priest' again."

"At that time, I will refine your soul into dung and bury it forever in the latrine!"

Before he finished speaking, the old man had already lunged forward. Although his current "Heart-Stealing Demon" form did not possess strong combat power, it had the ability to "seize a body without damage."

As long as he could enter Li Boyang's body, the old man was confident that he could expel the other's soul and regain control of the Divine Firmament Sword.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

In an instant, the old man's figure merged with Li Boyang's body.

It was during this process that Li Boyang was able to glimpse the essence of the "Heart-Stealing Demon"—it was a six-legged long fish.

Li Boyang saw a record of this strange beast in the "Auspicious Omens" chapter of "Nine Chapters on Divination Secrets".

This is a special type of fish that was born in the "Ranyi".

Its body is as long as a snake but it has six legs, and its eyes are as long as a horse's ears. It is born with the ability to communicate with spirits.

It was obvious that the old man had cultivated a Ran Yi fish into a vicious demon before daring to appear and possess Li Boyang's body.

[The High Priest of the Ghost Kingdom?]

With all three eyes narrowing slightly, Li Boyang could feel his body losing control.

tumultuous!
From a distance, one could see surging, malevolent energy emanating from its acupoints and quickly forming a crimson flame.

To prevent the flames from spreading to Chen Yun.

Li Boyang had to climb out of the cradle and jump down, trying his best to prevent the flames from coming into contact with the surrounding tables and chairs.

This is when Li Boyang's physical strength was demonstrated.

The baby, who was only a few months old, fell from a cradle more than a meter high and was unharmed.

Moreover, his balance and jumping ability far surpassed those of a one- or two-year-old child, showing no signs of immaturity whatsoever.

Keep in mind that this was all while the old man was fighting with Li Boyang for control of his body.

Stop struggling!

【Once I seize your body and devour your soul, I will naturally slaughter this village and offer their flesh and souls to the Five Gods!】

The Five Gods are the five great deities worshipped in the Ghost Kingdom, each symbolizing one of the five phenomena of life and death, reincarnation, and natural change.

They are both nature deities and the ancestors of the Guifang Kingdom.

From this perspective alone, the Five Directional Gods far surpass ordinary mountain and river gods in both rank and power, and are undoubtedly the mainstream belief in this region.

[The Five Gods? They're nothing but a bunch of evil gods!]

They were unaware of the status of the Five Gods in this land.

Li Boyang simply believed from the perspective of his past life that a god who accepted sacrifices of flesh and soul could not be a true god.

[Arrogant! You dare to look down on the Five Gods?!]

Enraged by Li Boyang once again, the old man attempted to directly control the other's body.

To his astonishment, Li Boyang, who had been lying on the ground, slowly stood up.

This means that the old man's control over this body has not only not increased over time, but is instead being assimilated by the evil energy within the other body.

"Is this your confidence?"

With a hint of mockery in his words, Li Boyang's childish voice sounded so ironic at that moment.

"You can't even control the flow of vital energy within your body, yet you want to expel my soul from my body?"

"Although my soul cannot stop your possession..."

"But the vital energy and malevolent energy within me don't seem to welcome an outsider like you."

As Li Boyang said, he did not even stop the old man from possessing him.

The life force and earthly energy within the body instinctively began to operate, repelling and plundering the power of the Heart-Stealing Fiend.
