King of Creation Chapter 2020 - 2005: Greetings, Brother
Previously on King of Creation...
In front of Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit, akin to a three-inch-four wee child, a small blade of pure primordial spirit, forged by Ye Zhen using divine sense and imbued with four-colored primordial spirit power, slowly but resolutely cut towards the primordial spirit.
At the instant the small blade sliced into Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit, his originally determined face twisted with pain.
The change in Ye Zhen’s true body, sitting cross-legged nearby, was even more severe.
His entire face contorted grotesquely due to the agony piercing deep into his divine soul, transforming his expression into that resembling a ferocious ghost.
This sight made the little demons hidden in the corners of the great hall and the small cat on the beams worry endlessly.
Yet, with instincts and spirit communication akin to that of human warriors, they merely watched, uttering not a sound despite their great concern.
The small blade of primordial spirit continued slicing down, causing Ye Zhen’s expression to transform hideously like a ghost, and in an instant, sweat soaked his entire body.
When that final thread of primordial spirit was severed, the sweat on Ye Zhen’s body had already formed a large puddle.
Even though his primordial spirit had left his body, Ye Zhen’s flesh convulsed in fast trembles as if his fingers were strumming a bowstring due to the agony piercing deep within his divine soul.
But this was merely the first step, only the beginning.
So, despite the excruciating pain deep within the primordial spirit pushing Ye Zhen to madness, he maintained that clarity on his spirit platform.
In the next instant, eighteen golden drops of all living beings’ will power flew out from Ye Zhen’s dark palace all living beings’ will power pool, and three drops swiftly merged into Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body, now only three inches after being severed.
This restored and stabilized Ye Zhen’s injured primordial spirit body rapidly.
At the moment of primordial spirit trauma, all living beings’ will power served as the best healing and restorative substance.
Almost instantly, as the three golden drops of all living beings’ will power merged, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body shed its painful, ferocious expression.
Simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body slowly grew from merely three inches to three and a half.
The remaining fifteen golden drops of all living beings’ will power all merged into the fragmented primordial spirit avatar, which was only the size of a fingernail, four inches.
Almost visible to the naked eye, the fragile, feeble primordial spirit avatar began to rapidly surge and grow.
In a matter of breaths, this primordial spirit avatar grew to over double its size, nearly reaching an inch.
After severing the primordial spirit avatar, especially the fragmented avatar, it was exceedingly delicate at this moment, prone to collapse and scatter the spirit with the slightest mishap.
According to the teachings embedded in Lud Li’s mystical mechanism avatar, in such a situation, one either has the protection of the teacher or elder, or supplements the primordial spirit with heavenly materials and earthly treasures or pills to augment the primordial spirit.
However, the best effect is achieved using all living beings’ will power.
This is the reason Ye Zhen dared to invoke this mystical mechanism avatar alone, because of the support of all living beings’ will power he held, which, though not plentiful, was certainly enough.
Simultaneously, an exceptionally clear sense emerged within Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body, compelling him to take another look at the primordial spirit avatar.
It was a peculiar feeling, as if standing beside him was a duplicate of himself; he knew it was impossible, yet he could truly see it, very mysteriously.
With the secret technique of Lud Li’s mystical mechanism avatar, this primordial spirit avatar not only possessed all of Ye Zhen’s memories but also held a trace of Ye Zhen’s divine soul origin.
To some extent, this primordial spirit avatar was also Ye Zhen himself.
Moreover, due to the imprint of the secret technique of the mystical mechanism avatar, as long as it was within one realm, their minds could communicate seamlessly.
Ye Zhen continued using the secret technique within the mystical mechanism avatar to refine the primordial spirit avatar, and after embedding all the primordial spirit imprints, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar stabilized completely.
Now nearly nine inches in size, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar was as lifelike as Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body, just one size smaller.
According to Lud Li’s sayings, though the divine ability of the mystical mechanism avatar would weaken the primordial spirit’s power during severance, if complemented adequately, it could greatly enhance Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit cultivation overall.
In terms of total amount, before separation, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit altogether was three inches four high, but now, combined with the avatar, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body and avatar altogether reached four inches, his strength considerably boosted.
"Return!"
A clear shout, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit body noiselessly merged into his flesh, and Ye Zhen slowly opened his eyes.
Divine light shot from his eyes, and he formed a peculiar seal formula between his fingers, pointing towards the primordial spirit avatar, "Depart!"
In an instant, Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar integrated into the nearby standing demonic commander avatar.
The primordial spirit power within the demonic commander avatar was instantly absorbed by Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar.
Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar immediately took control of the demonic commander avatar.
The previously stolid eyes of the demonic commander avatar first gained a touch of animation, then suddenly became spirited, making a salute to Ye Zhen, "Brother, thank you for your effort!"
"It’s only just begun!"
Ye Zhen muttered to himself, waving his hand, causing the originally two-zhang tall demonic commander avatar to suddenly collapse inwardly.
In an instant, beneath Ye Zhen’s primordial spirit avatar, it collapsed into a blood-red vortex, from afar resembling Ye Zhen’s dark palace.
"Brother, please proceed!"
Ye Zhen once again sat cross-legged on the ground, his Divine Sense stirring, and the Primordial Spirit of the Three-eyed Demon Clan Dao Realm expert, Jii Yan, whom he had captured along with the corpse beneath the Swamp Pool in the Molten Hell Sea, appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand.
Due to the multiple sealings, Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit seemed to be in a state of slumber, without any awareness.
At this moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense stirred, removing the seal, and the slumbering Primordial Spirit of Jii Yan immediately woke up.
Just upon waking, Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit’s eyes widened in anger, and he rained curses upon Ye Zhen, "Boy, if you dare harm me, my Three-eyed Divine Clan will surely see you and your nine clans utterly annihilated!"
Rumble!
Blinding Thunder Light flew from Ye Zhen’s fingertips, replying to Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit with the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, specifically targeting Primordial Spirits.
However, Ye Zhen controlled the destructive power of the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder within certain limits.
With one Evil Punishing Divine Thunder strike, Jii Yan’s already wounded Primordial Spirit was blasted into shrieks of despair, and before he could curse again, additional three strikes of Evil Punishing Divine Thunder turned his curses into screams and pleas.
Because if struck further, Jii Yan would dissipate entirely.
Dissipating entirely is the most feared event among Martial Artists in this world, representing complete erasure from existence.
Even if a trace of Remnant Soul remains, there’s still a chance of reincarnation.
Complete dissipation, however, truly means nothing is left.
Acknowledging Jii Yan’s pleas, Ye Zhen ignored them and continued reducing the power of the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, repairing Jii Yan’s increasingly weakened Primordial Spirit.
The most important barrier encountered in ritually refining the flesh of a powerful being of an Alien Race as an Avatar is the inability to thoroughly merge and control the flesh.
However, with the opponent’s Primordial Spirit Aura, things are different.
According to Master Lud Li’s Secret Technique, if the opponent’s Primordial Spirit is present, then allow the Primordial Spirit Avatar to directly devour the opponent’s Primordial Spirit Core, enabling the Avatar to possess the opponent’s Aura, thus achieving complete flesh merging as if the True Body is returning.
It was only after Jii Yan screamed for a full hour that Ye Zhen weakened Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Power by ninety percent, leaving only a Primordial Spirit Core the size of half a fingernail!
The reason Ye Zhen did this is that if Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core remains too powerful, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Avatar might suffer during devouring.
Thus, Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core must be sufficiently weakened.
"Brother, please!"
With a mystic Magic Formula, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Avatar’s Divine Sense moved, instantly forming a large mouth and swallowing Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core in one gulp.
The blood-colored vortex below the Primordial Spirit Avatar spewed a blood flame, rapidly refining within Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core through Secret Technique.
In the flame light, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Avatar gradually took on a trace of Jii Yan’s Aura.
As this unique Aura belonging solely to Jii Yan spread, even Jii Yan’s flesh’s heart began to beat more powerfully.
This refining persisted for most of the day, and amid continuous refining of Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Avatar began slow growth again.
When growth reached one inch, a scream emanating from the depths of the Divine Soul erupted from Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit.
This was the scream when Jii Yan completely dissipated.
"Merge!"
As the Primordial Spirit Avatar fully refined Jii Yan’s Primordial Spirit Core, Ye Zhen instantly created incomparably mystic Hand Seals, emitting peculiar light that resembled a massive hand pressing Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Avatar into Jii Yan’s uniquely Three-eyed Demon Clan corpse.
The Blood Light, a unique aura of resurrection, started spreading throughout the body.
The first to open was the unique third vertical eye of the Three-eyed Demon Clan.
At the instant the vertical eye opened, the blood light characteristic of the Demon Marshal’s Avatar immediately burst forth, shining brilliantly!
All skills and Divine Abilities specific to the Demon Marshal’s Avatar in the future will be cast through this third vertical eye.
Nodding, Ye Zhen watched as the blood light of the third vertical eye slowly receded, Jii Yan’s ten-foot tall flesh began to tremble slowly.
First a finger, then two, then the entire right hand.
Then, the chest began to rise and fall slowly, a mist of Qi expelled from the nostrils, and breathing began to restore.
With the rhythmic breathing, the massive wounds on the body began to swiftly recover, and then the whole body started to slowly twitch.
In the next moment, the corpse of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, or rather Ye Zhen’s Mystical Mechanism Avatar, suddenly bent its left knee of its left leg, using slight force, stood up, and instantly opened the remaining pair of giant eyes, bursting with fiery light!
"Friend, please!" Ye Zhen casually tossed a bottle of pills for healing injuries.
The Mystical Mechanism Avatar awkwardly caught and swallowed the entire bottle and pills, as the medicinal power dissolved, those massive wounds on its body swiftly healed, and its stiff fingers and body became visibly nimble.
"Brother, well met!" The Mystical Mechanism Avatar suddenly bowed slightly towards Ye Zhen.
"Well met!"
Ye Zhen returned the gesture, then exchanged glances with the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, before bursting into laughter together.
