Chapter 411: The True Power to Control the Mortal World!
Times have changed, indeed they have.
In today’s era, people no longer need to eat raw meat or live on the edge of survival.
They don’t have to scramble with beasts for food anymore.
Human civilization has gradually taken shape.
With their own script, and their own way of life.
Chiyou wants to destroy this hard-earned civilization, wishing to revert the world back to how it was three thousand years ago.
Li Mo didn’t expect that his simple desire for immortality would lead to such a situation.
In truth, even if he hadn’t come to Loulan, he couldn’t remain uninvolved.
Because Li Wu’s current body belongs to Bai Xianwu.
And this body was originally prepared for the Chiyou Demon Spirit.
One day, Li Wu would still return here.
Given Li Mo’s personality, there was no way he could ignore it.
Li Wu’s body was given by him, and it was also taken by him.
Since he decided to act, he must take responsibility!
How could he allow Li Wu to face danger alone just because of a word like ‘danger’?
Charisma is a truly magical quality.
It’s not about how great your ability is, but whether you can stand in front of others in the face of any difficulties and dangers.
Even if you’re no match, you won’t retreat.
Soon, the surviving soldiers began to retreat.
If a real fight broke out, even someone of Wei Zhuang’s caliber wouldn’t have the ability to step in, let alone these regular soldiers.
The Loulan Temple was originally the most sacred place in Loulan.
But a month ago, it turned into ruins after a clash with Donghuang Taiyi.
Now, fighting against the Chiyou Demon Spirit again would only make the scene even more intense than before.
On the ruins, the Chiyou Demon Spirit, possessing Donghuang Taiyi’s body, had hair like charred wood and crimson eyes.
Draped in a strange robe left behind by Donghuang Taiyi—the Yellow Emperor’s shroud—it shimmered with a weird aura.
The front displayed the starry sea, while the back showed the Soul Summoning Flag.
Amid the ruins of Loulan, the Chiyou Demon Spirit floated in the air, its hand, like charred coal, grabbed the eerie shroud.
The shroud waved like a massive flag, moving without wind, with a puf-puf sound.
The formations on Donghuang Taiyi’s body and the starry river on the shroud began to flicker like breathing in sync.
Under the Chiyou Demon Spirit’s influence, countless wandering spirits underground went into a frenzy.
From behind the Bronze Door came chilling roars, as countless wandering spirits attempted to break free.
However, each time they got close, the Imperial Seal at the door would emit a golden light.
Wherever the golden light reached, all the wandering spirits would dissipate into blue smoke.
“Don’t waste your effort. Those things of yours won’t help you.”
Upon hearing the noise below, Li Mo immediately guessed Chiyou’s intention.
It wanted to unleash those wandering spirits into chaos while he was otherwise engaged.
What it didn’t expect was that the power of national fortune within the Imperial Seal had already been activated by him, stabling like a sea god’s needle at the Bronze Door.
“What is that thing?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit ceased activating the Soul Summoning Flag, but its interest piqued for that small stone.
It had its ability to control those wandering spirits thanks to its special form.
And Donghuang Taiyi used that Soul Summoning Flag as aid.
Now, with both elements combined, they could summon from two different spatial realms, yet were blocked by a tiny stone.
“National fortune.”
Li Mo spoke without holding back, saying it plainly.
“National fortune? Huh?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit was baffled.
Although it was a remnant of Chiyou’s malevolence, it retained the latter’s memories intact.
In its memory, there was no such thing as national fortune.
Its era was still the tribal age.
All races existed in the form of tribes.
However, Donghuang Taiyi’s memories provided it an explanation for the national fortune.
At its core, national fortune is about humanity and beliefs.
It is the faith power provided by a nation, by its countless citizens.
The strength of a country equates to the strength of its people.
And the strength of its people equals the strength of each individual among them.
Countless paths of such powerful beliefs come together to form the indomitable power of national fortune.
“It’s a good thing,” the Chiyou Demon Spirit said, eyeing the underground entrance with a hint of greed.
Li Mo’s words shattered its fantasies: “Don’t get any funny ideas. You can’t use that power.”
“National fortune is indeed remarkable.”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit nodded; it understood the power was unable to directly hurt it, but it couldn’t just casually invoke it.
Since it belonged to the yin entity, it clashed with that power.
Even if it managed to seize it, forcibly invoking it would result in mutual damage.
“But in my eyes, this power is just a dispensable thing.”
Li Mo mocked: “Sour grapes, huh? I get it.”
Instead of getting angry, the Chiyou Demon Spirit laughed: “Understand? Hahaha! No, you know nothing of the true power in this world.”
“True power in this world…”
Li Mo realized there were some distinctions between humans from three thousand years ago and those from the current era.
Just as the disparity exists between today’s people and those from two thousand years in the future.
People two thousand years in the future will believe more in the power of science.
The martial skills of today would gradually fade away through the passage of time for various reasons.
And those who lived three thousand years ago certainly possessed powers unknown to today’s people.
“You guessed wrong.”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit seemed to read Li Mo’s thoughts.
“It’s a kind of power that can truly control this segment of the mortal world—something beyond your imagination.
Compared to that, your so-called national fortune is merely a child’s plaything.”
“Once I refine you into a War Demon God, perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to see it!”
Li Mo’s heart trembled. If what the Chiyou Demon Spirit said was true, what kind of hellish object could that be?
Moreover, its tone implied that it possessed that object?
But then, thinking about it, Li Mo found it strange.
If it really had such an uncanny item, it would have taken it out long ago to deal with him.
Why waste so much time here in a standoff with himself?
Suddenly, the Chiyou Demon Spirit launched an attack.
Before it could finish speaking, the two began to clash.
The shroud in its hand was tossed into the air, face down, shining with starlight.
Countless star lights sparkled incessantly, as if a galaxy were about to descend from within.
Li Mo didn’t dare to underestimate the situation and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.
A dark cloud quickly gathered above his head, within which lightning flickered, ready to strike down!
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color!
