Chapter 398 The Seventy-Two Wonderful Uses of the Shadow Avatar (23)

"No!"

It was as if I had been jolted awake from a nightmare.

The calamity, hidden in an unknown place, suddenly let out a roar.

At this moment, Huoji had long lost his former radiance.

His hair was disheveled, his scales dull, and even his golden fur was matted and tangled...

Especially after being attacked from a distance by Li Boyang, Huoji spat out a mouthful of blood, completely severing his connection with the Shadow Demon Dharma Image.

This was only because Huoji reacted quickly.

Otherwise, if those indescribable shadow monsters were to follow the trail and descend upon this place, the fate of the Calamity would be far more tragic than it is now.

"So... there's a connection between shadows and souls?"

Looking down at the shadow at his feet that had clearly dimmed, Huoji murmured to himself in deep thought.

Instead of a hysterical, impotent rage, Huoji seriously considered the advantages and disadvantages of the Shadow Fiend Dharma Form, and how to avoid similar situations from happening in the future.

After all, the Shadow Aura technique used by Li Boyang didn't have so many messy side effects.

This means that the path of Shadow Shaman is correct, but he himself has gone astray.

"Does it have to be your own shadow?"

"As expected, there is no shortcut in the way of Heaven and Man..."

"Or rather, as a method that could be frequently used by that celestial being, the Shadow Avatar could not possibly have such obvious flaws."

Thinking of this, Huoji suddenly remembered the fleeting glimpse of the shadow space he had seen earlier.

Because of Li Boyang's use of the Shadow Demon Dharma Form to kill Wuzhiqi, Huoji was left with a great psychological shadow.

Even today, he is still dedicated to cracking and replicating the complete version of the Shadow Demon Dharma Form.

It is obvious that the shadow space filled with countless monsters is one of the future directions for the Shadow Fiend Dharma Form.

"High-dimensional beings? Two-dimensional plane?"

As he pondered these difficult words repeatedly, Huoji gradually fell into deep thought.

According to that celestial being's custom, the answers to all the riddles are actually on the surface of the riddle itself; it just depends on whether one can understand them.

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

"You can now use your shadow to infiltrate the main body?"

He stared in astonishment at the vanished Shadow Fiend Dharma Image.

Xi Luo had no doubt that if Huo Ji had been her shadow before, he would have already become Li Boyang's puppet.

Even so, actively severing the connection with the Shadow Avatar must have caused immense harm to the Misfortune.

"That guy just likes to take shortcuts and find unconventional ways..."

“A normal Shadow Avatar is not so easily invaded.”

Li Boyang gently shook his head and immediately knew what Xi Luo was thinking.

Unfortunately, just as Li Boyang could see through Xi Luo's thoughts, the other party could also see the loopholes in his words.

"It's not that easy, it's not impossible, right?"

She rolled her eyes directly, feeling that Li Boyang's perception of her seemed to be somewhat flawed.

—Am I like Li Jingshu, the kind of brat who has to show off and cause trouble whenever she gets something she likes? Although she complained like this, Xi Luo felt from the bottom of her heart that Li Boyang's development of the Shadow Fiend Dharma Aspect ability had reached an unbelievable level.

In Li Boyang's current ability system, the strength of Shadow Fiend Dharma Form is not even in the top tier.

Xi Luo sometimes even felt that the original purpose of the Shadow Demon Dharma Form was simply to bear the curse of the gnat.

It was only over time that the functionality and wide range of applications of the Shadow Form gradually exceeded one's own understanding and imagination.

Firstly, as an incarnation of Li Boyang, the Shadow Demon Dharma Image can temporarily embody his will and thoughts.

Then there's the Shadow Fiend Dharma Form, which is the materialization of the malevolent curse. In terms of combat power, it is comparable to that of an ordinary god.

Next was the low-dimensional shadow space, which served as a storage area for daily necessities and warehouses, storing materials and items that Li Boyang needed in his daily life.

Finally, there is the plasticity of the Shadow Avatar itself, which can be transformed into various wonderful mechanical structures, achieving almost unbelievable zero error.

However, all of these functions are only the practical functions that outsiders can see and understand.

In fact, as the deity closest to Li Boyang, Xi Luo understood his development and utilization of the Shadow Fiend Dharma Form better than those outsiders.

For example, the Nuo God mask often worn by those Shadow Demons.

That's not just a simple decoration; it's a product of combining low-dimensional entities with auspicious symbols.

In theory, as long as Li Boyang is willing, anyone can temporarily possess the power of the Shadow Demon Dharma Form after wearing those [Nuoshen Masks].

Li Boyang's original intention in developing this ability was actually to give the mountain people the ability to protect themselves.

Unfortunately, it's unclear what concerns they had.

Li Boyang ultimately did not distribute these Nuo god masks on a large scale.

Instead, it was through popularizing the principles of nature and humanity that the mountain people were truly empowered with the spirit and ability to be self-reliant and strong.

However, this does not mean that Li Boyang has given up on the in-depth development of the [Nuoshen Mask].

On the contrary, Xi Luo often saw Li Boyang transform the Shadow Fiend Dharma Image into various bizarre shapes, endowing it with all sorts of messy abilities.

—A housekeeping-type Shadow Demon with eight arms and "professional housekeeping skills".

— Its appearance is completely tool-like, a tool-type Shadow Avatar created solely for refining weapons and alchemy.

—A regenerative Shadow Avatar specifically designed for Li Jingshu's training, enhanced with immortality and evasion abilities.

—A biomimetic Shadow Avatar that can simulate various complex biological structures and acts as a "guinea pig" most of the time.

—A learning-type Shadow Avatar with multiple external brains, proficient in 108 languages ​​and scripts, and possessing amazing learning abilities.

It can be said that, apart from not developing in the direction of aggression and combat power, the Shadow Avatars that Li Boyang developed later can be described as "all-rounder".

Most importantly, once it is confirmed that the functions of these shadowy figures are indeed very practical.

Li Boyang would then use proverbs and incantations to solidify it, transforming it into a commonly used form with its own independent [Nuoshen Mask].

In this way, whenever Li Boyang has a need, he doesn't have to temporarily reconstruct those Shadow Fiend Dharma Images.

Simply summon the corresponding [Nuo God Mask] from the shadow space.

In Li Boyang's hands, these Shadow Fiend Dharma Images, which clearly possess extremely strong offensive and lethal power, seemed only qualified to be relegated to menial tasks.

However, it cannot be denied that it is precisely because of the extremely strong versatility of the Shadow Avatar Dharma Image.

This made Xi Luo, who was lazy and preferred to enjoy life, unable to forget about it and also wanted to have similar handymen and servants.
