Jiang Yi was indeed wrestling with Xing Mo for control over his body.
He had not expected Xing Mo to disregard Wu Ni’s body entirely, and that the latter had long planned to take over his body instead. Xing Mo also did not use any soul spirit attacks; he had instead used his mystical ability to transfer his entire soul spirit into Jiang Yi’s soul spirit consciousness.
At that moment, Jiang Yi had gambled that before his soul spirit was destroyed by Xing Mo’s soul spirit attack; he would be able to destroy Xing Mo’s body. No doubt Jiang Yi had won, and Xing Mo’s body had been destroyed while his soul spirit remained intact. However, his primordial spirit had then been easily taken over by Xing Mo!
A thick black aura completely filled Jiang Yi’s soul spirit consciousness as a dominant intent entered his primordial spirit. That intent seemed as high and mighty as an overlord; Jiang Yi seemingly could not dare to defy it or have the ability to do so. Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit had become Xing Mo’s in an instant while his own consciousness had steadily grown silent.
Fortunately, his Fire Spirit Pearl had instinctively tried to protect him and had sent him an unknown source of energy. Jiang Yi used it to awaken his consciousness, and his strong desire to survive—combined with his stubborn will—led him to start struggling with everything he had. He started to fight for control over his primordial spirit, and thus, the bodily movements had been exhibited just now.
Heavenly powers!
Jiang Yi did not hesitate as he used that little bit of heavenly powers he had. This was the most crucial moment. If his primordial spirit was completely taken over, his consciousness and will would dissipate; his primordial spirit and body would then become Xing Mo’s.
Xing Mo would then make use of Jiang Yi’s strong body to kill everyone that he cared about, to subjugate all the citizens of the Stellarsky Domain.
That bit of heavenly powers was extremely powerful; it contained extremely overbearing energy. The heavenly powers were controlled by his will as it became golden energy and shot inside his soul spirit and inside his consciousness.
Buzz!
His sword-shaped soul spirit immediately lit up. It had originally been enveloped by the black aura, but Jiang Yi had now managed to claw back a third of it as this part of the soul spirit shone with gold light. The other two-thirds were still under Xing Mo’s control. These parts were pitch-black and emanated a corpse aura.
“Hahahaha! Jiang Yi, stop resisting. Even this bit of heavenly powers cannot help you! Heavenly powers are only the advanced form of essence force; they can never perfectly fuse together with one’s soul spirit! My soul spirit, however, has already become a divine soul; can your puny soul spirit go up against it?”
A soundless thought traveled over as two-thirds of the primordial spirit started to shine with a black light. The black light became a black cloud that rushed towards the small part of the primordial spirit that Jiang Yi controlled. That small part suddenly became fainter as the golden energy was quickly being used up. Xing Mo was right; the heavenly powers were not soul spirit energies and were too weak against the powers of the soul spirit. Of course… the key was that Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was too weak!
This is bad! Why hasn’t the Artifact Spirit in the Fire Dragon Sword come out to help?
Feeling his own willpower becoming weaker, Jiang Yi’s brain was filled with alarm and confusion. The previous time when his soul spirit had almost been taken over by Mei Ru—when he had wanted to destroy his own soul spirit, the Fire Dragon Sword’s Artifact Spirit had taken control of his primordial spirit and released the Divinity Slayer within his soul spirit. It had utterly refined Mei Ru to become Jiang Yi’s.
You have such a strong treasure, and yet you don’t know how to make use of it. You even thought of destroying your own primordial spirit? See how this spiritual sword is to be used!
Jiang Yi still clearly remembered what that Artifact Spirit had said. He also knew that this sword-shaped soul spirit was very strong. The problem was he did not know how to use it. Furthermore, Xing Mo’s will and intent had already entered the small Fire Dragon Sword; Jiang Yi did not have a way out.
Artifact Spirit, come out quickly!
Jiang Yi continued to shout out in his heart. With Xing Mo’s every attack, the heavenly powers’ golden energy became weaker. Once those energies were exhausted, Jiang Yi’s will would be smashed into bits by Xing Mo’s powerful willpower; Jiang Yi’s soul would be torn into pieces by then.
However…
He shouted a few dozen times in his heart, and that Artifact Spirit still did not show itself. Perhaps it did not hear his yells, or maybe it was utterly disappointed with this master of his and was prepared to follow Xing Mo.
Hmph, Xing Mo, even if I have to die, I will not let you have your way!
At the last moment, Jiang Yi snarled as he prepared to use his last resort and self-implode his primordial spirit. Once his primordial spirit exploded, Xing Mo would not be able to take over his primordial spirit; Xing Mo would not have Jiang Yi’s body either.
En…
In fact, Jiang Yi also wanted to see if at the moment he self-imploded, would the Artifact Spirit appear to protect him. If it did not, his soul spirit would be destroyed.
Buzz!
His primordial spirit burned with fiery flames, just about to implode.
“Hahaha!”
Xing Mo’s loud laughter rang out in his brain. “You want to self-implode? Go ahead and try. I can do without your primordial spirit; my soul spirit had already reached the divine soul stage. I can easily congeal another primordial spirit. Rest assured, Jiang Yi, I will fuse well with your body and make your body the new Stellarsky Domain Supreme Thearch’s.”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment. However, he did not stop his self-implosion. He did not believe Xing Mo’s words while he also wanted to force the Artifact Spirit out.
“Fool!”
A cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind. His entire soul spirit trembled violently. This was the voice of that Artifact Spirit. The Artifact Spirit… had finally been forced out by him.
Yet!
The Artifact Spirit’s next words made Jiang Yi lose all hope: “You want me to help you again? Haha, lad, if after my instruction the previous time, you still cannot deal with a small fry like this; you are not worthy of the Fire Dragon Sword. Go ahead and self-implode; I will let the Fire Dragon Sword find his next master; such an imbecile like you is not worth following!”
“Damn!”
The Artifact Spirit was not acting according to plan. Jiang Yi was utterly speechless. Also, the Artifact Spirit’s words were rather crazy.
A small fry?
This was a small fry? This was someone whose soul spirit had reached a True God’s level. Besides Jiang Yi, perhaps even the Mystic Thearch’s soul spirit back then might have had problems dealing with Xing Mo!
However, the Artifact Spirit’s words indeed reminded Jiang Yi that his sword-shaped soul spirit was a treasure. There was a possibility that his soul spirit could match up to Xing Mo’s. Jiang Yi’s heart suddenly had hope again. His brain worked furiously as he tried to find a way out!
What on earth is so special about my soul spirit?
In an instant, Jiang Yi thought about all the special characteristics of his soul spirit, and all the weird and eccentric things that had happened to his body in the past. His dantian had been sealed, right? Then, the seal had been broken, and the first stage of the Nameless Divine Art had appeared. Following that, Jiang Yi had cultivated a black essence force. He had then obtained the Fire Spirit Pearl and his dantian had transformed, with nine star spheres appearing. After that, his soul spirit also transformed and became the shape of the Fire Dragon Sword. On the Yellow Springs Path in the Mystic Divine Palace, his Rainbow Soul Spear had become a Nine-Colored Soul Spear which had then fused with his primordial spirit, becoming the state it was today.
Everything had started because of the Nameless Divine Art. This cultivation technique had some connection with the Fire Spirit Pearl, the Fire Dragon Sword, the Mystic Divine Saber, and the sword-shaped soul spirit. Thus, in order to control the sword-shaped soul spirit, I have to start from the Nameless Divine Art.
At that moment, Jiang Yi made sense of many things. It seemed as if the clouds had parted, and the blue sky was visible again.
However, this feeling alone could not save him. In his mind, Jiang Yi quickly read out the Nameless Divine Art’s formulation again and again. He had completely forgotten about Xing Mo and that the golden energy in his willpower was about to disappear. He had also forgotten that his willpower was on the verge of utter destruction. He focused completely on the Nameless Divine Art and used his heart to realize it, to find a way out.
Buzz!
While Jiang Yi was repeating the Nameless Divine Art’s formulation and continuing to fathom it, the three fire dragons on the small Fire Dragon Sword in his soul spirit consciousness silently started to swim forward. The three dragons swam in a very peculiar way; they were entangled together as they swam crisscrossed. As they swam, the small Fire Dragon Sword suddenly lit up a feeble black glow.
If Jiang Yi had awoken at this moment, he would definitely be shocked to his core.
Those feeble glows were actually black characters in Xiaozhuan; they were the Nameless Divine Art’s formulation. At this moment, those characters in Xiaozhuan were spewing forth incessantly from the small Fire Dragon Sword, swimming freely within Jiang Yi’s soul spirit consciousness.
