Chapter 1075 - 409: Unparalleled (3)
For those Demon Spirits who self-immolate, it is a calamity, but for other Demon Spirits, it is a grand feast of life evolution.
In the area where the purple flames self-immolate, the Light Energy will increase at an unprecedented rate. If weaker Demon Spirits can stay in that area for a while, they will evolve rapidly in a short period, not only in level but also in quality and Primordial Embryo Quality, experiencing varying degrees of enhancement.
Even some powerful Demon Spirits can gain different degrees of enhancement in that area.
Legend has it that in the history of the Demon Spirit Realm, an Unparalleled Demon Spirit once perished by self-immolation. In the area of his death, some originally very weak Demon Spirit Races, which could barely develop a Light Base, became dominant tribes in just a thousand years.
Therefore, in the Demon Spirit Realm, Demon Spirits refer to this self-immolation calamity as a life sacrifice. As one demon falls, ten thousand arise. This is one of the great miracles of the Demon Spirit Realm.
Li Xiu’s power, no matter how you look at it, seems like that legendary purple flame.
As Li Boyang’s body was turned into something like charcoal, and that charred form continued to peel away layer by layer, Jiang Lanling’s expression grew increasingly complex.
She always wished she could tear Li Boyang limb from limb, wished she could kill him with her own hands, but when Li Boyang was really about to die, she felt no joy, nor the satisfaction she had imagined.
The charred fragments falling from Li Boyang had not yet touched the ground before they turned to flying ash, drifting in the air and disappearing in an instant.
Under the burning of the purple flames, layer after layer of charred skin peeled away. Jiang Lanling originally thought Li Boyang would be consumed in this way, but with the peeling of a charred layer, what was exposed was unexpectedly crystal-clear white skin.
Crack! Crack!
The charring continued to fall away, revealing more and more of the crystal-clearskin. Before long, Li Boyang’s figure was fully revealed again.
However, at this time, Li Boyang was completely different from before. If Jiang Lanling hadn’t seen Li Boyang when he was young, she might not have recognized it was him.
At this moment, Li Boyang was no longer the thin old man, nor the muscular monster-like brute.
His skin was as lustrous as jade, his eyes like flawless, deep gemstones, with a mane of loose, jet-black hair. His body was long and lean, every muscle forming perfect lines, resembling an immaculate deity walking out of mythology.
Like a natural divine being, Li Boyang’s lips parted slightly, and the purple flames outside his body flowed like water into his stomach, with a faint purple aura emanating from his body, resembling clouds and mist streaming from countless pores, clinging to him like clothing or a robe.
"The Spirit Suppressing Stone is the ultimate life, and Purgatory is the ultimate death. The wheel of life and death, yin and yang merge as one. I must thank you for freeing me from the shackles of this world." A smile appeared on Li Boyang’s divinely handsome face.
Li Xiu looked at Li Boyang. Even considering their adversarial relationship, he had to admit that Li Boyang was indeed a rare man in the world.
With such appearance and charisma, no wonder he could deceive so many women of different races into falling head over heels for him, even knowing it was a trap, willing to sacrifice themselves like moths to a flame to bear his offspring.
"Is this your true form?" Li Xiu looked at Li Boyang, unsurprised.
The Spirit Suppressing Stone had shattered into four pieces; he absorbed three of them, and the last one was with Li Boyang.
Li Xiu had both the Evil Spirit Token and the Spirit Suppressing Stone, and he had long known that there was a connection between the two.
Li Boyang nodded slightly. Whether due to the transformation in his appearance and aura, at this moment, no matter what Li Boyang did, he no longer had even a hint of his former sleazy demeanor. It always seemed that whatever he did, it was justified.
"I once told you, I stayed for a time in another prison, where I met a man. He was like you all, of mortal flesh, and I initially did not pay him any mind. However, after conversing with him, he spoke profound truths that astonished even me. Those insights, even in my world, could be described as profound truths. It was extraordinary that a mere mortal could comprehend such depths. Alas, he was only mortal, despite his transcendent enlightenment, he was still fated to die."
"I am a prisoner, and I no longer have the face to use my former name. Yet, I greatly admired him, and so I adopted his name. The name Li Boyang comes from this." Li Boyang calmly looked at Li Xiu and said, "The Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang, merging their energies for harmony. Heaven and earth have the Dao, which divides into yin and yang. The balance of yin and yang births all things. I do not belong to this world. To this world, I am an external force disrupting the balance of yin and yang, forsaken by heaven and earth. Only by harmonizing yin and yang can I align with the heavenly Dao and break free from my shackles. The Spirit Suppressing Stone is the extreme yang of this world, and the Purgatory Force is extreme yin. Only these two forces can prevent me from being forsaken by heaven and earth."
"Such a figure, if I could meet him and hear some of his truths once, my life would not be wasted." Li Xiu praised.
"After you leave, I will record what he said and burn it for you." Li Boyang deeply agreed.
"I won’t read the book for now. Rather than reading, I want to live." As Li Xiu spoke, the Light Energy on his body erupted once more.
But this time, the eruption of Light Energy was completely different from before. Li Xiu’s body flickered more and more intensely, appearing and disappearing, gradually turning transparent. Through his body, the scenery behind him was unobstructedly visible, until he finally vanished completely.
This was not the end. With that burst of Light Energy, Li Xiu’s body gradually reappeared, shifting from intangible to tangible, slowly solidifying, and he reemerged in the sight of Li Boyang and Jiang Lanling. Eventually, his body completely returned to normal, devoid of any brilliance, resembling an ordinary mortal body.
Li Boyang watched Li Xiu’s transformation, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing wider; this was the moment he had truly been waiting for.
Li Xiu had truly ascended to the unparalleled.
