Above all spirits

Chapter 419 A Moment of Enlightenment (Part 1)

"What do you mean? What do you mean by a body that can't adapt to death?"

Gu Yun did not understand Werner's words for the time being.

"Ah, indeed, you were still unconscious at the time and didn't know the whole process."

Werner gathered his thoughts and said.

"Simply put, the reason you were able to wake up is because after Yunyin Nizi continued to use the Book of Reversal of Fate for you, a magical power strengthened your body and incorporated most of the death intent into your shadow, which is my body."

"Although I was shocked at the time, I instinctively felt that it was feasible, so I did not refuse."

"Because our condition is very special, normally it would be impossible to force these death intentions into the void of shadows. But your shadow is not a void existence, but me as a Shadow Demon, a real and different life form. And I don't seem to be directly annihilated by the accumulation of death intentions."

"Because you and I have a symbiotic relationship, theoretically, as long as you don't die, you will provide me with a continuous source of life, so I won't really die. I just can't adapt to the current situation and have fallen into a deep sleep."

"And right there, where you courted death, the rules of life and the rules of death intertwine and merge. This power affected you and indirectly affected me, accelerating my adaptation, which is why I woke up."

"Speaking of which, where exactly is that place? You say it's the other side, but is there such a dangerous place on the other side? And how could there possibly be a...sword on the other side?"

"Gu boy, do you know what you're doing? I almost fainted again when I woke up."

Gu Yun raised his hand and rubbed his lips, lost in thought. His world seemed to quiet down in an instant, and the candlelight on one side flickered slower and slower, sinking into a special mood.

Following Werner's explanation, Gu Yun canceled the maintenance of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will's 'Balance'...

really.

The stinging sensation is gone.

His body seemed to have already adapted to the lingering sense of death.

There is no longer a need to continue using the power of 'balance' to suppress and neutralize.

Next, Gu Yun tried to mobilize the power hidden within his body. In Gu Yun's view, even if it was integrated into his body at this moment, it should theoretically be a one-time thing and limited.

After all, the death intent within one's body is external and not generated autonomously, so the life and death intent formed through this death intent should naturally be limited.

This is a special power at the spiritual level.

However, it should be different from the few strands of life and death intent of Hongxiu. This is the complete power of the rules of life and death, but Eve has weakened it infinitely due to the limitations of her position.

If we insist on making an equal comparison, it should be closer to the true life and death intent that Hongxiu needs after the final convergence of the nine strands of life and death intent.

but.

The outcome was not as Gu Yun had expected.

I can't mobilize it myself.

why?

Hasn't it already become integrated into my body, existing naturally even without 'balance'?

Gu Yun frowned and began to consider the root cause.

God, soul, body.

As the three major sources of cultivation for beings in this world, beings in the lower realm achieve the breakthrough of species limits, that is, the improvement of their status, by improving these three aspects, while beings in the upper realm are also focused on this point.

Soul, also known as soul power or soul quality, is a power that relies on talent and is the most widely used. By creating extraordinary powers and sufficient soul quality, it can achieve terrifying attacks or other effects.

The body, also known as the vital energy or battle aura, is a power that requires rigorous training and is the only power that can potentially reach its peak through sweat.

God, or spiritual power, is the most mysterious power. It has a low lower limit and a high upper limit. It is dependent on both willpower and comprehension. It is the only power that can exist in a way that is completely different from other powers. It is the power of rules.

However, it can be observed that these three powers are actually derived from the power of living beings, and the lowest power can transform into an existence that surpasses the highest power.

Perhaps the body and soul also have their own end, because only when the power of these three beings reaches a certain level of matching can they achieve a leap in status.

However, no living being can accomplish this step, not even the Demon King or God King who have mastered the power of rules.

They only grasped the ultimate goal of "gods," the power of rules, which is why they could only reach the level of god-king or demon-king!

Gu Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had grasped some origin unknown to all living beings in the world.

No, those demon kings and god kings should know for themselves, but they simply cannot find the other two paths.

Thoughts return.

Originally, it should have been the will to live and die as "god," that is, the spiritual power.

Because of the mixture of various complex forces, including the power of the rules of fate, the power of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will of 'balance', and the most primitive rules of life and death inherent in the Primordial Life and Death Sword, what should have been an external force, a one-time consumption of power, has now been transformed into the power of the "body".

Let's continue following this logic.

My "body" seems to be several versions ahead of my "god" and "soul," which is why I can sense this power but cannot mobilize it.

It's because one's "spirit" and "soul" are not up to standard.

No, that's not right.

The "soul" should be relatively independent, as can be seen from the fact that the extraction of battle qi requires battle will, and that beings in the upper realm have no soul at all.

Therefore, I should just be considered as not meeting the standard of "god".

The so-called "god" is spiritual power, which is called "power of rules" at the highest level. Its special application in the lower realm is called "imperial will". In the cultivation system of the upper realm, the special power mastered by demon generals and god generals is called "momentum", and the special power mastered by gods and demon lords is called "domain". The corresponding terms in the lower realm should be "intention" and "thought".

And all of this is the power of the spirit!

Gu Yun's eyes gradually cleared.

The current relationship between Gu Yun and Werner is quite delicate.

He himself was born with death in his heart, while Werner was born with death in his heart.

The two coexist...reaching an indescribable, delicate balance...it's like...

The Yin-Yang symbol.

This is the only explanation Gu Yun can give for his current situation.

Then.

Since the body has already given guidance...

If I were to follow the path of life and death rules, I would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

...

A sudden realization can happen in an instant.

A moment later.

Gu Yun glanced at the black ancient sword that had been "neglected" by the bedside. He figured that his extraordinary encounter was mostly thanks to it.

At first glance, although its blade is not sharpened on either side, it gives the impression that it can be used to cleave through everything in the world.
