Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 74 Three Forms of Battle Souls

The power of the mind is mysterious and intangible.

The basic powers possessed by cultivators, such as the power of laws and the power of their physique, can suppress, restrain, and seal evil spirits and demons to a certain extent.

But they are unable to effectively control themselves.

Now, Lu Jiu understands that the power of the mind is the power to deal with evil spirits and demons!

However, it is very difficult to reach that level of power!

Lu Jiu’s strength stemmed from the fact that he had undergone ten thousand years of trials and tribulations, which had given him a sufficiently strong foundation for his Daoist will.

Only then, with the pressure of the golden divine sword and the guidance of the Mind-Born Technique, was the power of the mind successfully manifested as willpower.

If it were someone else, and their own Dao heart and will were not strong enough, they would not be able to withstand the pressure of the golden divine sword, and their own willpower would collapse first.

At the same time, Lu Jiu understood.

Why was it that every time he tried to comprehend the runes recorded on that golden leaf, he was always unable to grasp its mysteries, and his head would ache and feel dizzy after observing it for only a short time?

Because the level of spiritual power is beyond the scope of his current realm.

This kind of power is normally only attainable after one has entered the realm of proving the Dao and severing the three corpses!

In other words, this should have been a power that transcends even True Immortals.

However, Lu Jiu, with his current mere Golden Immortal realm, accomplished it ahead of time.

Unable to help himself, Lu Jiu looked at the golden divine sword hanging high in the air again, filled with awe.

This golden divine sword is undoubtedly the manifestation of the mental will of a powerful being who has transcended the level of a true immortal and entered the realm of proving the Dao.

Its owner is most likely the master of that Big Dipper Immortal Palace, the Big Dipper Immortal Venerable!

Another way to describe the embodiment of mental willpower is as the battle spirit!

The body may die, the soul may perish, but the fighting spirit will live on forever!

The word “war” encapsulates everything! It signifies the embodiment of mental will, which can play an unimaginable and enormous role in combat!

“You are quite good, having gained my approval. The relics of the heavenly soldiers and generals may be taken, but the corpses must not be touched, and you must know when to stop.”

“There are things I left behind in the Celestial Palace. If you can obtain them, it will be your good fortune.”

“If one can attain enlightenment in the future, one will understand everything; asking more questions is of no use.”

Lu Jiu opened his mouth, but still didn’t give him a chance to ask a question. The golden divine sword transmitted a voice of willpower and then flew away instantly.

Rumble…

As the golden divine sword flew away, the entire space of the battlefield ruins trembled violently.

All the cultivators from various realms within this space were visibly shocked and filled with fear and unease.

Only Lu Jiu can see it.

At each of the four corners of the battlefield ruins, a massive golden divine sword emerged, radiating brilliant light.

Four golden divine swords slashed at the same point simultaneously, and a shrill scream could be heard, accompanied by a vicious roar and curse.

Just hearing that scream made Lu Jiu’s mind waver, and the three nascent battle spirits that he had just condensed and manifested almost collapsed.

Is a demon lord being suppressed here?

Lu Jiu quickly regained his composure, and when his consciousness returned to the real world, both the golden divine sword and the terrifying screams seemed to have vanished without a trace.

“Four golden divine swords… Could it be that the battle spirit of the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable has condensed into four strands?”

Lu Jiu was filled with doubt and curiosity.

He was just beginning his spiritual practice and knew very little about it.

At the same time, Lu Jiu also noticed the concerned and worried looks in the eyes of Li Hanlu, Bai Su, Xu Huanhuan and others.

“Don’t worry, everything’s fine now. There are some things I need to verify.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu’s consciousness entered the depths of his dantian space.

The battle spirit, a manifestation of mental willpower, also appeared in the seal deep within the dantian space.

Here, the remains of the Heavenly Demon are sealed.

During this period of time, the endless cursing from the 199 Nascent Soul level puppets had tormented this guy to the point that he had no temper left.

This remnant of the demon’s body is a claw.

Its main body has three heads and six arms, but it is only a forearm among the six arms.

Unable to break through Lu Jiu’s seal, and unable to out-argue Lu Jiu’s 199 puppets, it was now listless and dispirited, almost driven to despair by the insults, questioning its existence.

“boom!”

Lu Jiu attempted to use the black seal condensed from his Heavenly Soul to smash it towards the remnant body of the Heavenly Demon.

With a deafening roar, the demon’s remains were shattered into pieces of black mist, emitting a shrill scream.

“ah!……”

“It hurts like hell!”

“You damn bumpkin! You damn bumpkin! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”

The black mist reformed, transforming once again into the shape of half a forearm. The demonic will residing within this mutilated body flew into a rage, cursing incessantly.

“It really worked.”

Seeing the reaction of the remnant of the Heavenly Demon, Lu Jiu’s eyes lit up.

He could shatter the remains of the Heavenly Demon in the past, but the remains of the Heavenly Demon could be restored to their original state in an instant, and he never let out such a painful scream.

And this time, after being struck by his Heavenly Soul Seal, although the remnant of the Heavenly Soul remnant body was re-formed, its aura fluctuations were noticeably weaker.

It can only be said that his battle spirit has just taken shape and is not powerful enough.

If it were the golden divine sword battle spirit of the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable, it would probably be able to kill this guy with a single strike.

Not only that.

Lu Jiu also sensed that when the Heavenly Soul Seal struck the opponent, the weakened part of the opponent’s aura was absorbed into the Heavenly Soul Seal, which actually helped the growth of the battle soul!

“Are evil spirits and demons, in their essence, also a power reflected from the mind?”

“The Tao arises from the heart, and so do demons!”

Lu Jiu seemed to have realized something.

“Impossible! How is this possible! You, a mere ant-like bumpkin, actually manifested a battle spirit?”

The gruesome body of the demon, screaming and cursing, revealed an eye in the palm of its severed arm’s claw. Upon seeing the Heavenly Soul Seal that had attacked it, it let out an incredulous scream.

Lu Jiu grinned, “You little brat, your good days are over.”

“Damn it! I’m being cursed at relentlessly, and this is what you call a good life? You bumpkin, you deserve to die a horrible death!”

“ah!……”

The Heavenly Soul Seal struck it again.

“You bumpkin! I’ll fight you…”

“Damn it! You actually managed to see through my weakness?”

In a short time.

Lu Jiu was having a great time.

The Heavenly Soul Seal is primarily for offense and conquest. Its current method is quite simple: simply smash it down with overwhelming force.

The Eye of the Earth Soul is primarily a support skill. It can see through the weaknesses of the Heavenly Demon’s remnant body at the level of the spiritual world and attack those weaknesses, causing more significant damage to the Heavenly Demon’s remnant body!

The Soul-Mirror is also an auxiliary tool; its light can immobilize the remnants of the Heavenly Demon.

The three battle spirits manifested from the three souls worked together to beat the remnant body of the Heavenly Demon, leaving it screaming and helpless!

even so.

Lu Jiu was still unable to completely kill or destroy the remnant of the Heavenly Demon.

One reason is that the three battle spirits have only just begun to take shape and their power is not yet strong enough.

Another point is that Lu Jiu discovered that when he used his battle spirit, it would also consume his mental willpower. After using it a few times, he felt a sense of fatigue originating from the mental level.

“You little brat, we have plenty of time. Let’s play slowly.”

Lu Jiu’s consciousness left the seal on his dantian space.

Before the remnant of the Heavenly Demon could even catch his breath, the 199 puppets continued their tirade!
