Chapter 669 — The Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
He smiled. "Though I am merely a clone transformed from a thread of the main body's consciousness and cannot match Shen Fengqing, with the calculated striking the unwary, I can still ambush him and help you reclaim your body. Once you reclaim your body and leave the suspended realm for Xuandu, I will personally add another layer of seal to prevent Shen Fengqing from emerging again."
Shen Mu said excitedly, "After I reclaim my body, will I possess power like his?"
The Heavenly Duke smiled. "That depends on whether you can master the power of Youdu. First cultivate the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. Once you have some achievement, we will act and make certain to drag Shen Fengqing back and seal him! By then, we can all escape this place! I only hope that by then, the suspended realm will not have been destroyed by him."
Shen Mu, full of vigor, immediately began cultivating.
The Crimson Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Duke and said in a low voice, "You are deceiving him. He cannot possibly master the power of Youdu. After he obtains that power, he will be infected by Youdu's demonic nature and become another Shen Fengqing — and worse!"
The light in the Heavenly Duke's eyes flickered. He nodded. "Worse than worse. Though Shen Fengqing commits many evils, he is after all only an infant, preferring to solve things with brute force, only resorting to Youdu's divine abilities to take lives when pushed to desperation. But he..."
His white brows and beard drifted upward. He said in a low voice, "Sinister, cunning, treacherous — his speed and capacity for adaptation are a hundred, a thousand times harder to deal with than Shen Fengqing. If he is controlled by demonic nature, the evil he commits will be a hundred, a thousand times that of Shen Fengqing! Shen Fengqing is merely evil, but he is wicked. When wickedness meets demonic nature, it becomes wicked demonic evil. If he employs Youdu's divine abilities..."
He could not help but shudder. He murmured, "At that time, I fear I too would help the Heavenly Court eliminate him. Fortunately, there is still the Earth Earl's seal and the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha's suppression. So long as Shen Fengqing is dragged back in, he cannot escape."
The Crimson Emperor sighed. "Old ginger is spicier. The Earth Earl's and the old Buddha's seals suppress the demonic nature and demonic qi of Youdu. If Shen Fengqing returns to the suppression, the demonic nature and demonic qi will be suppressed as well. We two can take the opportunity to escape and free ourselves from this place."
The Heavenly Duke smiled. "Precisely. If we were suppressed here, would we not be beaten daily by that havoc-wreaking demon king? This way we kill two birds with one stone! However, at bottom this matter is your fault. Had you not attempted thought-possession, none of this disaster would have occurred!"
The Crimson Emperor sighed. "I did not anticipate this either. Moreover, it was not I who brought him beside my brain — it was that boy, the Crimson Bright Divine Son, who tried to use me to ambush him and trap him in my thought labyrinth..."
Shen Mu cultivated diligently. Meanwhile, in the outer world, the Crimson Bright Divine Son, at the cost of countless deities' lives, finally lured Shen Fengqing into the sky. The Crimson Emperor's three eyes transformed into three suns in the sky, and three eyes transformed into three moons. Sun and moon coursed through the heavens, and many gods and demons climbed onto the suns and moons, activating the formations within the Crimson Emperor's pupils.
Hum—
Rays of incomparably intense light suddenly converged and shot together at the infant who was rampaging and slaughtering!
The sky abruptly dimmed — the light of sun and moon gathered into a single line, leaving no light elsewhere, plunging the world into night.
Boom!
