Chapter 433: Chapter 233: Extinguishing the Primordial Spirit
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, if a Qi Refining Realm cultivator gets decapitated, they die instantly.
For a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, there’s a chance that some secret technique or special method might allow them to reattach their head.
But in reality, as long as the blade is swift and ruthless, if the head can’t be reattached, they will still die.
Just because their life force is strong, they might resist for a short while longer.
The final result is still death.
It can be said that in the two basic realms of cultivation, decapitation means certain death, with absolutely no chance of survival!
However, for Golden Core Realm cultivators or demon beasts, it’s different. Even if their body is destroyed and their bones turned to dust, they can escape with their primordial spirit and truly have a chance to start anew through some other means!
Golden Core Realm cultivators have an extremely condensed primordial spirit. Once it escapes the body, it can roam under the sun and possess other living beings.
Another method is, if there are no living beings to possess, they can attach themselves to a puppet or a spiritual object.
This delays the dispersal of the primordial spirit, waiting for the right moment to start over.
However, the ultimate fate of the second method is still rebirth through body possession, taking over someone else’s body to start anew.
As for reincarnation?
There have been legends of reincarnation on the Southern Heaven Continent since ancient times.
But whether they are reliable or not, no one can say for certain.
Even the big shots of the Shenxiao Dao Sect rarely mention this taboo topic.
Ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators certainly wouldn’t count on the elusive reincarnation.
Now, the demon beast army besieging the disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect had been slaughtered entirely, leaving the giant bear spirit without a target for possession, forcing it to choose a human instead.
A streak of light shot out like lightning toward the group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
"Damn it! Why is it coming for me?"
Suddenly, Li Yunjing sensed something amiss, realizing that the streak of light was targeting him!
In the earlier battle, everyone else was fighting conventionally, engaging in normal combat.
Only Li Yunjing was jumping around the battlefield, constantly teasing a group of ancient demon beasts, making them spin in circles.
He also continuously killed other demon beasts, making Li Yunjing’s performance quite eye-catching.
This scene had long been noticed by the giant bear spirit, which was already very dissatisfied with Li Yunjing.
At this moment, without a second thought, the spirit charged at Li Yunjing for possession and rebirth.
It aimed to devour Li Yunjing’s soul and use his body to complete its rebirth.
"Watch out!"
"Dodge!"
...
Seeing something wrong, those around Li Yunjing quickly warned him, while each let out a sigh of relief, knowing they wouldn’t have to face the demon king’s possession.
Although the demon king seemed finished, a Tier Three demon king’s primordial spirit was still stronger than a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
If it really came for them, it would be hard to predict who would win.
Even if they succeeded, their own soul would suffer greatly.
Now, watching Li Yunjing taking this calamity upon himself, they naturally showed expressions of relief.
But thinking this might not be right, they composed themselves and looked seriously concerned at Li Yunjing.
"Good timing! I’m not afraid of you!"
At this moment, Li Yunjing had no chance to escape. In a flash, the streak of light entered his forehead, plunging into his sea of consciousness.
"No good!"
Seeing this, Yu Yuanhua put away his magical treasure and flashed to Li Yunjing’s side.
This Golden Core Realm expert stared at him intently, prepared to destroy his body if Li Yunjing’s spiritual will lost to the giant bear spirit.
Other fellow disciples also gathered around, worriedly watching Li Yunjing.
They saw his face turn from blue to red, with sweat rolling down his face like beans, indicating severe discomfort.
In Li Yunjing’s sea of consciousness universe, the primordial spirit of a giant bear had already appeared.
As soon as this primordial spirit entered Li Yunjing’s sea of consciousness, numerous, densely packed tendrils radiated from it, attempting to envelop Li Yunjing’s sea of consciousness universe.
"Bear spirit! Do you think you can occupy my sea of consciousness? How laughable!"
Within his sea of consciousness, Li Yunjing’s spiritual will roared like thunder.
Though his spirit was much weaker than the bear spirit, not on the same level, Li Yunjing had the advantage of being on his home ground, with his body continuously supplying life force to strengthen his spirit.
In his own sea of consciousness, Li Yunjing was truly unafraid of this Tier Three demon king.
Faced with the demon king’s attempt at possession, Li Yunjing defiantly shouted back.
"You brat, a mere Foundation Establishment ant, dare to be insolent before me? I’ll destroy you first!"
The bear spirit roared angrily, launching an even fiercer attack, trying to take over Li Yunjing’s entire sea of consciousness.
Though the bear spirit’s primordial spirit was condensed and could survive outside the body for a short time, it ultimately couldn’t survive for long.
This urgency to possess and take over was the reason for the bear spirit’s haste.
It seemed extremely overpowering, but in reality, it was anxiously trying to quickly eradicate Li Yunjing’s consciousness.
Thereby completing the takeover of Li Yunjing’s body to provide energy for its primordial spirit to continue surviving.
"Then try it!"
Li Yunjing coldly snorted, full of disdain.
With his strong spiritual power, the advantage of home ground, and mysterious energy in the depths of his sea of consciousness, he refused to believe he couldn’t subdue a mere primordial spirit.
