Blood Domain Demon Soul (Part 2)
“Exactly,” agreed Gui Ximing, installing his blood souls in Long Xingyun, thereby darkening Long Xingyun’s soul and reddening his eyes.
“He actually creeps me out,” expressed Xiaoshuai, sensing Long Xingyun’s soul energy continue to soar.
“Stop him now, or there’s no stopping him once he’s completely transformed into Blood Domain Demon Soul,” instructed Archfiend Yujiang.
“Can’t you stop him?” asked the dragon vine.
“Not when he can take over any bone to revive himself, which includes me. I highly doubt you can stop him once he gains my cultivation.”
“Let’s seal away this old turtle using Open Marsh Shore already, then!” Xiaoshuai cried.
“Black tort-”
“No, shut up!” Xiaoshuai demanded, hopping from Qiao Xue’s bosom to Mu Yu’s shoulder for a better fighting platform. “You’re a burden. That’s what you are!”
Mu Yu, formations already at the ready, inquired, “What exactly are Blood Domain Demon Skull and Blood Domain Demon Soul?”
“Blood Domain Demon Skull is constructed using roughly ten thousand strong bones that grants the wielder control over any bones. The more advanced the cultivation of the owner during their lifetime, the stronger the skull. Blood Domain Demon Soul is created through the same process, except they use souls and is used to control souls as opposed to bones. The other common denominator is that both require a host. Since Gui Ximing is already the host for Blood Domain Demon Skull, he needed another host for Blood Domain Demon Soul. Either way, wielders of either element can resurrect themselves as long as they have a host body.”
“Ghost Gate sure came more prepared to capture the island than I thought,” Mu Yu responded, recalling what the populace of the island consisted of. “Why didn’t they just subdue all of the souls and bones on the island upon arrival? Surely there must be some limitations.”
“From what I know, both entities will perish seven days after their initial boot up.”
“Guess they figured it would take longer than seven days to bring you under control. Doesn’t change the fact that I wouldn’t last a day against either, though. You better get behind us. Qiao Xue, you and Xiaoshuai guard Ocean Archfiend. Dragon Vine and I will stop him,” Mu Yu directed, leading with his sword.
Clamping his teeth together, Gui Bao sliced off a piece of flesh from his arm for Gui Ximing to stuff into Long Xingyun’s soul. As a result, Long Xingyun’s soul resembled a massive and gross tattoo of wriggling souls.
Gui Ximing finished his hand seals, prompting Long Xingyun to slip out of Mu Yu’s stabbing motion and flitting toward Archfiend Yujiang at a velocity that surpassed the rate at which Mu Yu’s formations or himself could keep up with.
Qiao Xue barricaded the fiend king and herself in a water barrier as they made a swift retreat together. In the meantime, Xiaoshuai and the winning fishes created an electric net around the exterior of the water barrier. Long Xingyun moulded energy and ploughed straight through, quickly drilling a hole in Qiao Xue’s water barrier.
“Lass, you and the boy need to hurry out of the pagoda,” instructed Archfiend Yujiang, hurling Qiao Xue out a moment prior to Long Xingyun’s takeover since he had no cultivation to resist Long Xingyun.
“We came here to save you, though,” Qiao Xue protested.
Archfiend Yujiang put up a valiant fight; however, Long Xingyun’s ghost mist slowly took its hold on the fiend king’s skeleton, controlling even the hand the latter managed to get out during his last conscious moment. The ghost qi created meridians, then circulated blood, eventually manifesting a human hand.
“The ocean fiend king’s body sure is a terrific vessel,” complimented Long Xingyun, stepping out from the black mist and drawing the mist back into his body to recreate his appearance in addition to a black robe. “I have finally attained Ascension Realm cultivation, hahaha!”
Long Xingyun started punching black streaks through the air in the name of testing out his new body.
Mu Yu and company regrouped, with the former commenting, “The last person to give off such an intimidating aura was Gui Yeming. This is even worse since Long Xingyun’s power level is still climbing up.”
Long Xingyun, knowing he could squash Gui Ximing and Gui Mao like bugs, decided to look their way condescendingly.
“Long Xingyun, mind yourself. You’re no longer a fiend,” warned Gui Ximing, snickering as he strangled his aggressor with the red threads attached to Long Xingyun’s soul.
Long Xingyun could fight off the strings if they were around his body. Howbeit, there was nothing he could do about it since it was attached to his soul.
Regardless of whether it was due to pain or fear, Long Xingyun genuflected. “Please forgive me, Master. I dare not harbour ill will.”
“Good to hear. Now, kill those two pests.”
“How did Long Xingyun acquire Ascension Realm cultivation from Blood Domain Demon Soul?” Qiao Xue queried.
“It’s from Ocean Archfiend. We need get out of here,” replied Mu Yu, taking Qiao Xue to the remaining exit.
Long Xingyun placed a foot forward and slammed the exit into oblivion with a giant hand conjured from ghost qi!
