Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

The young demonic lady in the black dress seemed to know Jiang Yi well. She seemed to also know who Ao Lu was. When she said she did not know either of them earlier, she was probably trying to make Jiang Yi belittle her and lower his guard down.

Her demonic arts were truly exceptional. The fact that she could pierce through even a divine artifact aside, her entire being seemed to have already entered Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness at this point. Normally, people’s demonic arts or spiritual attacks would only release some special energy into someone else’s spiritual consciousness. Yet, this woman managed to get her entire being into Jiang Yi’s.

Jiang Yi felt the terrifying power of this demon sovereign. His primordial spirit was trembling uncontrollably and hard as he tried to come up with a solution. He, at last, could not think of any way to get himself out of this fix. This was within his own spiritual consciousness as well so nobody could help him. All his mystical abilities were rendered useless at this point.

What a pity. If I had the Rainbow Soul Spear, I may have a fighting chance of surviving!

Jiang Yi was regretting his actions now. If he had known this would happen, he would have refined an ancient artifact or two that would defend his own soul spirit. He used to have his Rainbow Soul Spear and his Mystic Divine Armor in the past. This made him neglect to build a defense for his soul spirit. When the Sword Thearch released his Soul-Hooking Sound at Jiang Yi back at the Endless Deep Sea, the Mystic Divine Armor alone was able to protect Jiang Yi. He had thought that with this armor, nobody would be able to hurt him. He never thought that he would find himself in a predicament like that.

Buzz!

The intruder of his spiritual consciousness suddenly became consumed by black fog. She controlled the fog so that it charged toward Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit and engulfed it.

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit stiffened. He could feel the full terror of this black fog. The poisonous fog rushed into his primordial spirit and covered a portion of it at once. If his entire spirit became covered by this fog, he knew he would become the demon sovereign’s slave for sure.

Buzz!

The Fire Spirit Pearl protected its owner at once, lighting his primordial spirit up with a red light. The black fog was chased out by it. Jiang Yi was shocked. He kept steering his primordial spirit, causing it to fly around his spiritual consciousness and avoid the black fog. As he did this, he wrecked his brains for a solution.

“Hoho!”

The intruder was now seated at a corner in his spiritual consciousness, mocking him. “You’re still struggling? Do you think your soul spirit is strong enough to defend you against my demonic art? Even a human eight-star formidable martial artist would become my slave easily once I enter his or her spiritual consciousness.”

As she spoke, both of her hands waved around. She began to dance right in front of Jiang Yi’s soul spirit, releasing more black fog from her body and filling Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness. No matter where Jiang Yi’s soul spirit ran, he came into contact with more black fog.

What should I do?

The cogs in Jiang Yi’s mind were turning a hundred times faster. He was watching as his own primordial spirit got attacked. His thoughts were becoming more and more blurred. It was almost as if he was about to fall into a dark pit any moment and become the demon sovereign’s slave.

Risk it!

He gritted his teeth and roared, turning his primordial spirit toward the intruder and made it charge toward her. His soul spirit was extremely important. If Jiang Yi allowed it to fall apart, he would lose his life. Yet, there was no other choice now. All he could do was try to bring her down with him.

He had no choice but to fight, with his back cornered. If he did not win the battle, he would die.

Tsk! Tsk!

The little Fire Dragon Sword shone with a blinding red light as it charged toward the intruder. It was not moving very fast, but this god spirit was moving way at least ten times faster than his old soul spirit. His spiritual consciousness was only so big. Soon, he collided with the small demon sovereign.

“Keke!”

The young lady laughed mirthlessly. Immediately, her body turned to black fog, allowing the Fire Dragon Sword to pierce right through it. The black fog congealed into the young lady again once the sword passed. She turned to Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit mockingly and said, “Stop struggling! There’s no use! Your weak god spirit aside, even the strongest spiritual attack you have would be of no use on me.”

Crash!

Jiang Yi did not believe her words. Instead, he kept steering his small Fire Dragon Sword toward the young lady again and again. Yet, again and again, he stabbed at thin air.

His spiritual consciousness was becoming increasingly filled with the black fog. About half of his small Fire Dragon Sword was already covered in the black gas. Jiang Yi’s conscious mind was becoming weaker and weaker. In a moment of weakness, images of him becoming the demon sovereign’s slave filled his mind. He saw himself as a walking dead man, stuck in a black sea in his mind forever.

No…

Rather than become a zombie and someone else’s slave, Jiang Yi would prefer to die. From the recesses of his heart, he cried out, once again steering the little Fire Dragon Sword toward the lady.

Yet…

The lady became black fog once again. There was no way he could catch her at all. It was almost like he was trying to use a steel fist to attack water. The effort made Jiang Yi so frustrated that he puked out blood. He was all out of solutions now.

At that moment, Jiang Yi understood why the demon sovereign said what she did. If she entered an eight-star formidable martial artist’s mind, the person would become her slave for sure. This was because no one could even attack her body. If anyone’s spirit was captured by her, they would surely fall under her control.

Slowly, Jiang Yi’s primordial spirit became more covered in black fog so that more than half of his primordial spirit was covered now. His mind was becoming more blurred as well. He had completely given up. There was only one thought in his mind: even if he died, he did not want to become her slave!

In that final moment, he tried to cause his own primordial spirit to explode. As a hero, he was sure that he never wanted to become a demon sovereign’s slave. As opposed to allowing his own mind to be controlled by someone else, he chose to die.

“Fool!”

A voice echoed throughout his entire spiritual consciousness. Suddenly, his mind cleared up. His Fire Dragon Sword vibrated. Strange energy floated out of the Fire Dragon Sword and filled his entire body. Soon, the energy gathered in his spiritual consciousness and into his primordial spirit.

The clear voice said once again: “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!”

Buzz!

His primordial spirit lit up and began to dance around. At that moment, his entire spiritual consciousness seemed to be stirring. Attracted to his primordial spirit, all the black fog floated toward it. The three dragon patterns on the Fire Dragon Sword slowly floated away. Along with three loud dragon cries came three Fire Dragons that charged straight towards the little lady!

This, this…

Jiang Yi was shocked by this turn of events. Was that energy an independent spirit? That spirit controlled his own primordial spirit and then… released the Divinity Slayer in his spiritual consciousness?

Jiang Yi had seen his fair share of mysterious things, but this had to take the cake. Nobody would believe him even if he told them. Did that spirit come from inside his real Fire Dragon Sword? Was it the Fire Dragon Sword’s artifact spirit?

That’s right, it’s the artifact spirit!

Jiang Yi felt around and realized that this spirit had the exact same aura as the artifact spirit. Still, he was shocked. How could the artifact spirit be so strong? Could the artifact spirit control its owner’s primordial spirit and activate dao patterns inside the owner’s spiritual consciousness? This dao pattern might not be the actual Divinity Slayer, but its power was still frightening.

“Ah?”

The demon sovereign tried to dodge, but the Divinity Slayer used the power of heaven and earth to hold her still. There was no way she was able to move. All she could do was watch as the three Fire Dragons, made out of spiritual energies, rushed toward her.

“No, don’t kill me…”

The demon sovereign felt the power of the three dragons and immediately turned pale. She entered Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness using her demonic arts. If her mini being was destroyed, her entire soul would be destroyed as well!

Boom, boom~

The three Fire Dragons kept charging forward, blowing the mini demon sovereign up into little pieces. Yet, after the first two dragons attacked, the last one stopped. It stood still in Jiang Yi’s spiritual consciousness and stared down the mini demon sovereign with cold, hard eyes. “You have two options: submit or… die!”

Damn!

Jiang Yi was shocked to his very core. Did this artifact spirit want to keep this demon sovereign’s spirit as its slave? How could it take control of such a scary being? It could not be that safe to keep her. For all Jiang Yi knew, he might get swallowed by her and be taken control of instead.
