Chapter 845: Demonic Veil
"Since I am you, and you are me. Now that I have independent consciousness, why should I obey you? Besides, in the holy realm, it is not uncommon for a fragmented soul to be devoured in turn. When you let me go independently back then, you should have been prepared for this," the ancient demon with a human body and a demonic head spoke with an unusually calm tone.
"Indeed. I anticipated this to some extent. But I didn't expect that after you broke free of control, a human cultivator would seize my sealed body ahead of me. They even went so far as to use the disintegration shape transformation great technique to recombine the body and break the seal. Don't you know that although this method forcibly breaks the seal, it causes massive damage to the vital energy of this body, at least a loss of one-third of the cultivation base? Do you understand what that means?" The demonic soul's dual-headed face suddenly turned cold, its eyes flashing murderous intent as it questioned.
"Hmph! What is your body to me? I was originally part of your primordial spirit. Occupying this body is no different. Besides, even if the body loses a third of its cultivation base, as long as I devour you and avoid those cowardly fellows in the Human Realm, this world will be mine to roam freely. When the time comes, I will reopen the ancient passage from the holy realm to the Human Realm, thus achieving great merit for the holy ancestors. Maybe I can even become one of them. Losing this bit of cultivation base is nothing," the ancient demon with the demonic head sneered contemptuously.
Hearing this, the demonic soul with two heads and four arms knew the situation had reached a point where words were futile.
Since the second demonic soul, which was cultivated earlier, began to suffer backlash, only one of the two could have autonomy in the world. The other had to be erased of consciousness — this was indisputable.
If he had not been forced, his main primordial spirit would never have escaped the confinement seal, and he wouldn’t have risked sending his fragmented soul away. Though now he had escaped, the fragmented soul had indeed gone awry.
However, despite the other party seizing the demonic body, their cultivation base was no comparison to the demonized body he had found temporarily. Back then, he was the main primordial spirit, so naturally, he had placed certain restrictions on the fragmented soul he released. Although unaware how much the other side had broken through, the outcome of their conflict was truly unpredictable.
With this thought, one head of the demonic soul suddenly turned sharply and glanced at the surrounding cultivators before speaking coldly:
"Who devours whom will be decided later. For now, let's devour these cultivators' nascent souls to replenish ourselves, then find a secluded place to determine who will dominate. I don't want these human cultivators to benefit from us like opportunistic fishermen. You have no objections, do you?"
"Of course not. The restrictions remaining inside me have almost completely been refined. Even if you don’t strike, I alone can kill them all," the demonic-headed ancient demon replied calmly, then its eyes suddenly flashed with a piercing purple-red light as both eyes snapped wide open.
"Heh heh, don't talk big. Some of these cultivators are quite troublesome," the demonic soul sneered coldly, instinctively glancing toward Han Li’s direction.
The ancient demon with the demonic head stuck out a purple tongue and withdrew it, showing a disdainful expression.
When the cultivators saw the two-headed four-armed ancient demon appear, they were all shocked. Then, after hearing the two demons’ frank conversation, they were dumbfounded.
From their tone, it turned out the two demons were originally the main primordial spirit and the secondary primordial spirit. Now, the secondary primordial spirit had gained autonomy and invaded the demon creature’s body, and the two were at odds like fire and water.
