LĂŒ Cangshan arrived at the foot of a mountain range along the border.
He carefully looked around with caution, and only after confirming no one was nearby,
did he activate the formation before him.
Soon, a huge fissure suddenly appeared in the mountains ahead.
LĂŒ Cangshan walked straight into it.
However, he did not notice that at the moment the fissure began to close,
two figures holding concealment talismans silently followed behind.
Ye Yuâs attribute, Master of Talismans, was definitely not given for nothing.
His mastery over talismans had already reached a terrifying level.
Not to mention LĂŒ Cangshan was only at the Profound Demon Realm,
even a peak Demon King realm cultivator would find it difficult to detect Ye Yu and Pei Chuxiaâs presence.
After entering # NĐŸvĐ”light # the mountains,
LĂŒ Cangshan hurried forward and soon arrived at a stone chamber.
There were only two faint lights inside, barely illuminating the vast space.
On the main seat of the chamber sat a figure shrouded entirely in shadows,
whose silhouette appeared extremely emaciated.
LĂŒ Cangshan knelt on one knee and began reporting on the recent situation within Niepan Province.
âLord Demon Master, the entire Demon Realm now believes you have completely perished.
Three provincesâ Demon Lords have begun jointly attacking Niepanâs territories.
Our forces cannot hold out much longer.â
Upon hearing this title, Pei Chuxia trembled all over.
Demon Lord Li Yao was not dead? And was hiding in this place?
In the next moment, the shadowed figure on the main seat slowly rose,
stepping out of the darkness.
With each step, the entire mountain trembled.
Once fully out of the shadow,
Ye Yu could clearly see that this person resembled a mummified corpse,
his skin an eerie grayish-white.
Pei Chuxiaâs eyes widened in shock,
for she realized this was not the Demon Lord Li Yao she remembered, but a completely unfamiliar face.
By contrast, LĂŒ Cangshan showed no surprise and knelt respectfully on one knee.
The mummified figure spoke in an extremely hoarse voice, âLet them make a fuss! Let them rage.
I have now successfully possessed the ancient demonic body and fully fused with it.
No one in the Demon King realm can match me now!
You must gather the old troops; I will lead Niepan Province in a counterattack.
Once we eliminate all these clowns,
the first thing we do is seize Juque Province and avenge my son, Yiâer!â
LĂŒ Cangshan nodded vigorously.
Thirty years ago, Demon Lord Li Yao discovered an ancient demonic body within a secret realm in Niepan Province.
Though it had been dead for nearly a million years, its corpse was undecayed and extremely tough.
Upon closer examination, only a faint remnant soul barely clung to life, always on the verge of shattering.
Li Yao believed this ancient demonic body held great potential and brought it back to the Demon Hall for study.
Two years later, he resolutely abandoned his shadow demon form and began possessing this ancient demonic body.
Because this body cultivated one of the earliest forms of ancient demon physiques in the Demon Realm.
It emphasized breaking all laws with sheer strength.
If fully possessed, oneâs power would soar.
Li Yao ordered his trusted LĂŒ Cangshan to watch over Niepan Province,
promising he would emerge within two or three years.
But what he did not expect was how difficult it was to handle the residual soul within the ancient body.
It took a full thirty years to completely succeed in possession.
During this time, countless events occurred,
making Li Yao furious.
But now, all hardships were about to end!
Li Yao raised his right hand and clenched it tightly.
In an instant, demonic energy within a radius of one million miles began converging toward him wildly.
From the sky, one could clearly see a massive vortex forming over Niepan Province,
greedily absorbing demonic energy.
Li Yaoâs withered body gradually began to regain flesh and blood.
LĂŒ Cangshan watched this miraculous scene with wide eyes.
But in the next second, Li Yaoâs body was completely frozen solid.
Pei Chuxia appeared proactively, forming a hand seal with one hand in front of her.
The entire stone chamber transformed into a world of ice and snow,
and the ice covering Li Yao thickened continuously.
But it was not over yet!
Pei Chuxia suddenly changed her hand seal again,
and in an instant, a fierce wind arose.
A streak of blazing flame spread from beneath Li Yaoâs feet,
instantly engulfing him completely and shooting up to the clouds.
Under the trial of ice and fire,
cracks spread throughout the mountain range,
which eventually shattered entirely!
LĂŒ Cangshan immediately looked back,
only to see a figure not unfamiliar to him.
âYe Yu, youâre Ye Yu?â
As the killer of Li Xuanyi, LĂŒ Cangshan had collected a great deal of information on Ye Yu.
Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with him.
However, he never expected
Ye Yu to appear in this place.
His first reaction was to try and seize him,
but Ye Yu at this time was already incomparable to before.
His expression cold,
he lightly twisted his right hand.
In an instant, LĂŒ Cangshanâs body was covered with shining yellow talismans.
A powerful force made it impossible for him to resist at all.
Eventually, his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist,
vanishing into the air.
[System]: Host successfully killed LĂŒ Cangshan, randomly looting attribute!
[Ding] Congratulations, host! You have obtained the attribute Calm Composure (Green):
No matter what happens, always maintain a calm state of mind,
never influenced by external factors,
thus preserving judgment on any matter.
Another green attribute acquired.
This one is an independent attribute, not fused with any others.
Still not badâat least it truly promotes calmness.
Ye Yu then looked ahead again.
The blazing flames, shaped like dragons, continued to fiercely burn everything.
One had to admit, Pei Chuxia was truly clever.
Though the ice-fire duality was not her strongest technique,
it was perfectly suited for dealing with possessed beings.
The ancient demonic body was forged with a powerful physique,
able to withstand demonic weapon attacks and break mountains and rivers with its fists.
Ye Yuâs Ancient Demon Path attribute was essentially a form of this ancient demonic body.
Li Yaoâs fusion with the ancient demonic body was to gain stronger physique.
However, even with complete fusion, the possessed body might still have some rejection.
Such rejection required hundreds or thousands of years to fully dissipate.
During this period, the body could never achieve perfect control.
At this time, the ice and fire would stimulate the bodyâs automatic response.
Any slightest rejection would be infinitely amplified,
with a certain chance to cause the soul to separate from the body.
This was exactly what Pei Chuxia intended!
As long as the body was gone,
she alone could easily deal with just the soul!
